Chapter 39 Preparing to Build the Foundation
After receiving the sect's mission, Bai Ziye lived a low-key and peaceful life.

He only had to go to Yuelu Temple for a few days each month to refine magical instruments, and after completing the tasks for that month, Bai Ziye would return to his residence in Xuankun Mountain.

Apart from occasionally visiting Han Li in Baiyao Garden, he would also go to Xuankun Mountain to buy some refining materials.

Apart from this, Bai Ziye basically never left his residence.

Finally, a month passed quickly, and the enhanced function of Bai Ziye's Star Sea Bottle was finally cooled down.

Bai Ziye used the Star Sea Bottle without hesitation and strengthened the Foundation Establishment Pill to a level beyond the Immortal Grade.

The foundation-building pill that surpasses the immortal grade can not only enable the Qi-cultivating cultivator to build the foundation 100%, but also cleanse the marrow and remove hair, thus strengthening the cultivator's physical body.

After the foundation-building pill was successfully strengthened, Bai Ziye began to prepare for his retreat to break through the foundation-building stage.

During this period of time, Bai Ziye had very few spirit stones left, so he planned to sell all the magic weapons he had refined during this period.

Bai Ziye came to the market town on Xuankun Mountain.

There are not many markets on Xuankun Mountain, but although small, they have everything you need, including elixirs, talismans, magic tools, etc.

Bai Ziye came to the Chen family's magical instrument pavilion, which specializes in selling magical instruments.

The Chen Family Magical Instrument Pavilion is a shop opened by the Chen Family, one of the three major immortal cultivation families in Huangfeng Valley, that specializes in selling various magical instruments.

Because Xuankun Mountain is only a place where Qi-cultivating monks live, the highest-quality magic weapons sold in this shop are only top-grade ones.

While selling ritual implements, this store also has the business of purchasing ritual implements.

All the refining materials that Bai Ziye had previously purchased were purchased in this store.

"Brother Bai, welcome, welcome. Is this the same as before?"

The shopkeeper of this store is a cultivator at the eleventh level of Qi training. However, his hair is already completely gray, and it is obvious that he is much older than Bai Ziye.

If one has the potential to break through to the foundation-building stage, who would want to be the owner of a shop?

"Brother, I am here to sell magic tools this time."

Bai Ziye started chatting with the other party with a smile.

The other party wanted to make friends with him, the weapon refiner, and Bai Ziye also wanted to build a good relationship with the other party. It could be said that the two sides were like dry wood meeting fire.

"Oh! That's great! I can finally see the magic weapon of Master Bai, the weapon refiner. Come with me."

Upon hearing this, the old man immediately showed an excited smile on his face. He then took Bai Ziye into a side room and ordered someone to bring out good tea to entertain Bai Ziye.

"Brother, look at these magical instruments I made!"

After entering the room, Bai Ziye took off the storage bag containing the magic weapons from his waist, and took out all the magic weapons inside.

The next moment, the table was filled with all kinds of magical weapons, flying swords, broadswords, shields...all kinds of magical weapons were piled on the table.

When the old man saw these magical weapons, he was shocked.

It’s because these magical weapons on the table are all high-level magical weapons!

Moreover, among the high-level magical weapons, it is also considered a fine product and is more valuable than ordinary magical weapons.

"With so many magical instruments, you want to bankrupt me, brother."

The old man couldn't help but stroke his gray beard. If he bought this batch of magic tools, he would be able to make a fortune. Of course, more importantly, he wanted to win over Bai Ziye.

After all, Bai Ziye, who is only in the Qi training stage, can refine such an exquisite high-level magical weapon. After Bai Ziye builds his foundation, he will surely take off!
He had investigated Bai Ziye and knew that Bai Ziye was not even in his twenties yet, so there was a high possibility that he would be able to build a foundation in the future!
Not only Bai Ziye, they had also investigated the winners of this Ascension Conference. Although they were not bad, they pale in comparison to Bai Ziye.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Your Chen family is one of the three great immortal cultivation families. This little bit of magic weapon is nothing but a drop in the bucket for you."

Bai Ziye's expression remained unchanged when he heard this, he just looked at the old man with a smile.

When the old man heard this, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes became more obvious.

Then, the old man stopped hesitating and began to calculate the total value of the magical weapons brought by Bai Ziye.

"Brother, these high-level magic weapons you brought are also top-notch among high-level magic weapons. I will give you the purchase price of 110 low-level spirit stones."

The old man readily gave Bai Ziye some of the profit.

"Thank you so much, brother. I appreciate it so much! I appreciate it so much!"

Bai Ziye felt a little happier when he heard this.

It’s well worth calling you brother!!!

The old man stood up and left, taking Bai Ziye's spirit stones, a total of more than a thousand low-grade spirit stones.

Afterwards, Bai Ziye left the Chen family's shop and continued to stroll around the market in Xuankun Mountain, buying things that could help him build his foundation.

After he was fully prepared, Bai Ziye came to Zixiajian without stopping.

Zixiajian is a mountain range at the gate of Huangfeng Valley. Because it contains amazing spiritual energy, the monks of Huangfeng Valley have opened up many stone chambers suitable for cultivation on it.

For Qi training practitioners who want to break through the foundation-building stage, Zixiajian is the most suitable place for practice.

However, the stone chamber on Zixiajian is quite expensive, starting at one spirit stone per month and going up to five spirit stones at the most.

Even if it is a stone chamber with only one spirit stone, it will require twelve low-level spirit stones in a year.

It’s nothing for Bai Ziye, but it’s really painful for other Qi-cultivating cultivators.

After all, even in Huangfeng Valley, one of the seven sects of Yue State, the spiritual stones earned by its Qi-cultivating monks are mostly two to three pieces per month.

Although he had purchased some spiritual objects to assist in building his foundation, Bai Ziye still had a lot of spirit stones left in his hands. Therefore, he chose a stone chamber with plenty of spiritual energy, paid the spirit stones, and entered it.

After entering the stone chamber, Bai Ziye did not rush to take the Foundation Establishment Pill. Instead, he first took the Huanglong Pill and Jinsui Pill that had been purified during this period.

Regrettably, the quality of the Yellow Dragon Pill and the Golden Marrow Pill was too low. Even after being purified to a level beyond the Immortal level, Bai Ziye was still unable to break through to the thirteenth level of Qi training, and remained at the peak of the twelfth level.

Afterwards, Bai Ziye lit up the concentration incense. As the smoke from the concentration incense spread throughout the stone chamber, Bai Ziye's originally restless heart began to calm down.

Bai Ziye took out the Foundation Establishment Pill and swallowed it without hesitation.

As the pill entered his stomach, it immediately released amazing medicinal power. Bai Ziye began to practice Changchun Gong, absorbing the medicinal power emitted by the foundation-building pill.

Under the effect of this medicine, Bai Ziye, who was originally at the twelfth level of Qi training, instantly broke through to the thirteenth level of Qi training.

Moreover, it is soaring at a speed visible to the naked eye!
