Chapter 37 Qi Gathering Pill

"There are some jade slips with pill recipes, but the recipes are too low-level and not suitable for foundation-building cultivators like you and me! They are all placed on the third shelf, you can look for what you need yourself!" The old man surnamed Xu replied indifferently, and then he swayed in his chair again, looking extremely unrestrained for a moment.

Upon hearing this, Yun Hao went to the third shelf and searched carefully. As the old man surnamed Xu said, these pill recipes were either mundane recipes for mortals or some recipes that could only be used in the Qi training period. Apart from these, there was only a recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill and a recipe for the Rejuvenation Pill.

Yun Hao did not look at the other recipes. He just held the jade slip of the martial arts method in one hand and the jade slip that recorded the Dingyan Pill in the other hand and walked towards the old man named Xu below.

When the old man surnamed Xu saw Yun Hao coming over with two jade slips, he asked, "Junior brother, have you made your selection? I wonder if you have found one that you like."

"Senior Brother Xu, is there really no recipe here that is suitable for our foundation-building needs?" Yun Hao asked in surprise.

"There really isn't any here! Junior brother, you should know that the recipes for elixirs that can improve one's cultivation are all in the hands of those immortal cultivation families. If you really want to find the recipes for elixirs for the foundation-building period, you can go to Junior Brother Ma in the Hundred Medicine Garden to take a look." The old man surnamed Xu said to Yun Hao with some advice.

Yun Hao thought about it and realized it was true. The original novel stated that Senior Brother Ma from Baiyao Garden was an expert in alchemy, so he established a Baiyao Garden.

"Thank you for your advice, senior brother." Yun Hao bowed to the old man surnamed Xu and thanked him respectfully.

"Junior brother, you want to start refining the elixir, but I don't know if you have a suitable furnace." The old man surnamed Xu narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

Yun Hao, who was originally grateful, immediately suppressed his emotions upon hearing this and thought, "I was wondering why this old man was so kind, it turns out he was waiting for me here!"

However, Yun Hao said calmly, "Junior brother, I really don't have a suitable alchemy furnace. I wonder if you have a good alchemy furnace for sale!"

The old man surnamed Xu smiled brightly upon hearing this. "Brother, you asked the right person! I am not bragging, but I am an expert in refining cauldron magic tools!"

“Come, let me show you some of the fine products I have refined.” As he said this, the old man surnamed Xu slapped his storage bag, and three cauldrons flew out and were placed on the long table.

The old man surnamed Xu pointed to a large tripod with three legs and two handles. The body of the tripod was engraved with dense images of fire crows and said, "This one is called the Divine Crow Tripod. It is three feet and three inches long, wide and high. It has a certain amplification effect on alchemy and refining... This tripod is priced at 120 low-grade spirit stones."

Then he pointed to another square tripod with four legs and two handles and introduced it, "This one is called the Wanling Tripod... This tripod costs sixty low-grade spirit stones."

The old man surnamed Xu pointed to the last large round tripod and said, "This tripod is called Luohou Tripod... This tripod costs thirty low-grade spirit stones."

Yun Hao pointed at the Divine Crow Cauldron and said, "Senior Brother Xu, I will choose this Divine Crow Cauldron."

"Junior brother, you really have a keen eye. This tripod is the best one in my collection," said the old man surnamed Xu, as if he shared the same opinion as other heroes.

"Brother, please help me copy the skills and pill recipes. I still have some things to take care of," Yun Hao said impatiently upon seeing this.

“Since you have purchased my Divine Crow Cauldron, you don’t have to pay spirit stones for anything else,” the old man surnamed Xu said with a smile, and then he quickly copied the skills and pill recipes for Yun Hao.

Yun Hao slapped his storage bag, took out 120 low-grade spirit stones and placed them on the long table.

Soon the old man surnamed Xu copied the skills and gave them to Yun Hao, saying, "Junior brother, if you need any cauldron-like magic tools, you can come and find me again."

Upon hearing this, Yun Hao first put away the two jade slips, then put away the Divine Crow Cauldron, and then clasped his fists and said, "No matter what, thank you for your guidance today, Senior Brother. I'll take my leave first!"

Then Yun Hao left Yuelu Palace.

After leaving Yuelu Hall, Yun Hao came to the old man named Ye in Baiji Hall and said, “Senior Brother Ye, I want to find out something from you!” The old man named Ye looked up and saw that it was Yun Hao. “Junior Brother Yun broke through the foundation-building stage so quickly. You are so lucky.”

"Junior brother, it was just luck," Yun Hao responded modestly.

"Junior Brother Yun, what are you asking about? If I knew, I would tell you everything," the old man surnamed Ye said as he looked at Yun Hao.

"May I ask if Senior Brother Ye knows Senior Brother Ma from Baiyao Garden? I want to buy some pills or pill recipes!" Yun Hao stared at the old man named Ye and said indifferently.

"It seems that Junior Brother Yun has earned a lot of spirit stones from making talismans here!" The old man surnamed Ye looked at Yun Hao and joked.

"Senior Brother Ye, you're joking. I only have a rough understanding of the art of making talismans." Yun Hao didn't want to talk about this issue, so he said perfunctorily.

"Hey! Junior Brother Yun, you are too modest. With your skill of making talismans, you can be successful wherever you go. I am so envious of you," said the old man surnamed Ye enviously.

"Brother Ye, please talk about Brother Ma! I want to exchange the talisman in my hand with him for some elixirs for cultivation," Yun Hao said concealingly, glancing at the old man named Ye.

"Oh! Junior Brother Yun, what talismans do you have in your hands? I also have two bottles of pills here. If possible, I am willing to exchange them with you," said the old man surnamed Ye after thinking for a while.

Yun Hao also became interested after hearing this. "Junior brother, you have the intermediate talisman, the Golden Blade Talisman and the intermediate Golden Shield Talisman. I wonder what kind of elixir is in Senior Brother Ye's hand?"

The old man surnamed Ye slapped his storage bag, took out a small porcelain bottle and pushed it to Yun Hao, saying, "Brother, the pill in your hand is called Qi Gathering Pill. It is suitable for cultivators in the early stages of foundation building. Brother Yun, you will know after taking a look."

Yun Hao took it and looked at it, then opened the bottle, poured out a pill, held it in his hand and smelled it. Immediately, a unique medicinal fragrance of the pill wafted out.

"Yes, it is indeed a elixir for the Foundation Establishment Period. If Senior Brother Ye has this elixir, why doesn't he take it himself? Why did he take it out to exchange with me, his junior brother?" Yun Hao asked in confusion.

The old man surnamed Ye spread his hands helplessly upon hearing this, "Brother Yun, you know that I have a nephew who is now almost at the stage of building a foundation, but he has not yet joined the Yellow Maple Valley. I plan to exchange a life-saving talisman for him and try to get him to join my Yellow Maple Valley. Anyway, my aptitude is mediocre, and no matter how much I practice, I can't enter the Jindan stage. I might as well do something for future generations!"

At this time, Yun Hao recalled that this old man surnamed Ye did have a nephew with poor qualifications. In the original book, this old man surnamed Ye even made a deal with Han Lao Mo for his nephew's foundation-building pill.

"Brother, what kind of talisman do you want to exchange for this bottle of elixir?" Yun Hao asked the old man named Ye.

"How about one Golden Shield Talisman and one Golden Blade Talisman? I know that this will put you at a disadvantage, but you also know that I am the manager of Baiji Hall. If your descendants come to Baiji Hall in the future, I will make it easy for them." The old man surnamed Ye knew that his request was a bit excessive, so he made this promise.

Yun Hao thought about it and didn't bother with him too much. Of course, it was also because he was in urgent need of elixirs suitable for the foundation-building period, so he just regarded it as a favor. So he nodded and said, "Junior brother, I have suffered a great loss. It was Senior Brother Ye. If it was someone else, Yun would never agree. Of course, junior brother also wants Senior Brother Wu's help with something."

"Junior Brother Yun, please tell me what you have to say," the old man surnamed Ye agreed without hesitation.

Yun Hao thought for a while and said, "It's actually no big deal. Junior brother, I'm familiar with making talismans. I want to open a shop in our Huangfeng Valley Market, and I want to find someone to help me run it. Of course, junior brother will pay the spirit stones, and it would be best if it's a woman who is eloquent."

"Hey! I thought it was something else! Turns out Junior Brother Yun just wanted to issue a task! No problem, I will take care of it. Junior Brother Yun, just wait for the news," said the old man surnamed Ye.
