Lu Yu brought a lot of things with him, a total of more than ten large boxes, piled up in the yard. He smiled and said, "What? Don't welcome me?"
Mi Xiaojing said, "Please, have a seat inside."
Lu Yu smiled slightly and walked into the room. He looked around and sighed, "It's too simple. Do you want me to send someone to renovate this house?"
Mi Xiaojing said indifferently, "No need, it's enough to live in."
The two sat down, and Mu Xiaoyin brought Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu to another room, leaving the two to discuss.
Lu Yu said, "Do you know about the sect competition this time? If you already know, will you participate?"
Mi Xiaojing said lightly, "I won't participate."
Lu Yu was stunned, then realized, "Oh...I forgot, you probably don't need Foundation Establishment Pills. Well, since you're not participating, can you provide some pills? Whether it's Qi Refining Pills or Clear Tranquility Pills, it's all good. Of course, other pills are also fine. I need them all."
Mi Xiaojing pondered for a moment and said, "There's one more thing. I need some materials. Hmm, here's a list. See if you can collect them all." This list already implied the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills.
Lu Yu took the list and looked at it, nodding, "I should be able to collect them all."
Mi Xiaojing breathed a sigh of relief. The list he gave Lu Yu also contained some of the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. He didn't dare to give them all at once, afraid that Lu Yu would notice something wrong. So he used two lists to collect the materials, which was safer.
Quietly collecting the materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills, if Lu Yu collected them, he would have eight sets of materials for refining Foundation Establishment Pills. This was what he planned to use to refine the pills himself.
The pill recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills was provided by Wang Weijun. It was an ancient pill recipe for Foundation Establishment Pills, and both the effect and the medicinal properties were stronger than the current Foundation Establishment Pills. This was also one of the important reasons why Mi Xiaojing was not interested in the sect competition.
Lu Yu misunderstood that Mi Xiaojing had already obtained the Foundation Establishment Pills from Chen Shouyi, and therefore valued him even more. Once he successfully established his foundation, he would be on par with himself, and most importantly, he was a Pill Master. In the sect, a Pill Master was higher in status than an official, and his status was even higher.After chatting for a while, Lu Yu left feeling satisfied. He had been quite busy lately, as many people knew he had spirit pills to trade after he had shown them off. With the upcoming sect competition, everyone was eager for pills, whether it was Qi Refining Pills or Clear Tranquility Pills, as they were the most urgently needed items.
Back in the room, Mi Xiaojing asked, "Sister Xiaoyin, when does the competition start?"
Mu Xiaoyin exclaimed with joy, "Wow, are you participating? I knew it, little junior brother would definitely go."
Mi Xiaojing helplessly replied, "Sister, I'm not participating, I just wanted to know when it starts so I can watch the fun."
Mu Xiaoyin deflated, "Ah, really? I got my hopes up for nothing."
"In ten days, the competition will take place on the cliff platform at the main peak of the sect. If you want to go, you need to leave a day in advance and it will take a day to get there."
Mi Xiaojing said, "Let's all go watch the fun."
Luo Bo cheered, as he was too lonely at home and having something to watch was better than anything. Even Zhang Ke smiled a little, and Wei Fu looked forward to it.
Mu Xiaoyin also laughed at the thought of watching the fun. It was a shame that Mi Xiaojing wouldn't participate; otherwise, they could have gone to cheer him on.
Mi Xiaojing planned to temporarily stop refining tools and wait until the competition was over. With enough time, he could focus on refining tools seriously. After all, if he succeeded in using Thunder Gang Wood to refine a weapon, it could last a very long time, unless there was something better. He didn't plan on changing it.
During this time, he mainly focused on alchemy, trying to familiarize himself with the process and gain experience. When it was time for him to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, he could increase his success rate.
**********
Eight days later, at Mu Xiaoyin's urging, the group of them set off together. They formed a small family-like collective, with Mi Xiaojing as the leader and Zhang Ke and Mu Xiaoyin as supporters, totaling five people.
Mi Xiaojing, Mu Xiaoyin, Zhang Ke, Luo Bo, and Wei Fu, except for Zhang Ke, were all underage. Except for Mu Xiaoyin, they were all disciples of the Western Expansion Sect. With Mi Xiaojing as their leader, they formed a small team in the Heart Sect. They were like family, and their cohesion was extremely strong.
Mu Xiaoyin led the way again this time. After getting up early in the morning, everyone was busy absorbing a strand of Qianyang Purple Qi, then washing up and having breakfast. After leaving the small courtyard, they headed down the mountain.On the road, many cultivators could be seen hurrying along. They were probably going to watch the excitement, and of course, some were participating in the competition. Since low-level cultivators couldn't fly, they could only walk there honestly. However, if one possessed a flying magical tool, they could fly there.
However, such flying magical tools were extremely rare, and ordinary low-level cultivators simply couldn't possess them. They were a group of cultivators who couldn't even guarantee the most basic weapons.
However, the footsteps of cultivators were extremely fast. Although they couldn't compare to flying, they were much faster than riding a horse.
Mi Xiaojing and the others quickly descended to the foot of the mountain and walked onto the main road. The usually deserted road was now crowded with many people, all of whom were cultivators who had come down from the mountain. There were also many ways of traveling.
Some rode horses, some sat on fierce beasts, and Mi Xiaojing even saw a guy with a dark mass under his feet. His feet didn't move, but his speed was faster than walking. He disappeared into the distance in a trail of black smoke.
Mu Xiaoyin admired, "Wow, this guy is actually using a spiritual ghost to travel... so fast!"
When people in this world die under special circumstances, such as resentment or anger, they will condense into a ghost. By chance, they will become the lowest level of ghosts—small ghosts.
Low-level cultivators have a high possibility of becoming ghosts after death. After a Foundation Establishment cultivator dies, the probability of becoming a ghost is more than 50%. These ghosts are called big ghosts.
Among the big ghosts, a small portion will cultivate. Once they succeed, they become fierce ghosts. They can devour other ghosts, and over time, they will become spiritual ghosts. At this point, their strength will begin to skyrocket, even threatening cultivators.
The guy just now was using a big ghost. Big ghosts can be captured and tamed. This person used a ghost to help him walk, not only making it easy but also showing off. Among low-level cultivators, there were quite a few who raised ghosts. However, good ghosts were hard to find and extremely difficult to tame.
To tame and control ghosts, one needed at least one magical tool, a tool that could contain the ghost. Just this tool alone was enough to stump most low-level cultivators.
Therefore, in the eyes of low-level cultivators, having a big ghost was an impressive feat.
