The cold moon shines on people, and the stream murmurs.

Streamwater flowed into a crescent-shaped lake, splashing crystal clear water, like stars in the night sky. A beautiful octagonal pavilion floated on the lake, with light gauze curtains and a gentle breeze.

At this time, a table and sandalwood incense and tea were set up in the pavilion. The two people sat opposite each other.

Among them was a middle-aged man in brocade robes, with a square face, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes. His appearance was extraordinary, and he commanded respect without anger. This man was Dongyang Bo, the only Yuanying ancestor of Shaohuashan Mountain.

Opposite him sat a demure woman, like a fairy descending from heaven. She seemed untouched by the world's impurities, out of place in this tainted realm. A veil covered her face, and she lowered her head slightly. With delicate hands, she prepared tea, her gaze fixed on the stars, seemingly gazing into the shimmering ripples within the teacup, revealing a sense of ethereal solitude.

Donghuang Bo raised both hands to press on the table, his body leaning forward slightly. His eyes were fixed intently on the woman opposite him, his voice low and grave, "Miss Chenyan, after your last breakthrough failed, you've already run out of options. Time is running out, you need to make a decision."

The tea in Chen Yan's hand trembled slightly, and her eyes flashed with a heartbreaking look of hesitation.

>

Donghuang Bo appeared indifferent, his tone and expression carrying a hint of pressure. Although he seemed to be persuading her gently, he said, "This secret technique does originate from the Demon Sect, but there is no such thing as righteous or evil magic; it all depends on the user. Moreover, this secret technique has been tested and proven to be effective. If Miss Chenyan worries about her reputation, I guarantee that I will personally handle everything afterward, ensuring a clean and flawless execution so that Miss Chenyan won't be troubled in the slightest."

For a long time.

Morning smoke, eyes half-closed, whispered softly, "Good."

The ground sank.

Abruptly, a series of painful roars that reached the peak of agony echoed from Qin Sang's cave. It seemed as though a ferocious monster was inside, but unbeknownst to others, these cries were actually emanating from Qin Sang himself.

At this moment, he clutched his stomach tightly with both hands, his body having already rolled off the cushion. He curled up like a shrimp on the ground, rolling back and forth, his facial features contorted to an extreme degree. It was clear that he was in agony that ordinary people couldn't bear. His face was pale without a trace of blood color, and the sweat from his body soaked not only his clothes but also a large patch on the ground.

The reason for this result is precisely the Foundation-Building Pill he just consumed.

Qin Sang's snail-paced cultivation speed had worn away all of his patience. He made a resolute decision to try taking a Foundation Establishment Pill first. After all, he had three in hand. What if he got lucky and broke through successfully It could save him decades of cultivation time.

Of course, taking the Foundation Establishment Pill wasn't something to be taken lightly. He spent several days adjusting his state and mental state to their peak, then placed some healing spirit pills and other items by his side, making all preparations. After carefully recalling Master Wen's teachings, he cautiously swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Master Wen had warned him that the foundation-building pill's power would cause the user to undergo a transformation, accompanied by some pain. However, Qin Sang never expected the pain to be so intense, no different from severing tendons and breaking bones!

When the Foundation-Building Pill first entered his abdomen, it was fine. The feeling wasn't that obvious. Afterward, when the effects of the pill fully erupted, his dantian suddenly felt like it was being tightly gripped, his qi sea nearly splitting apart. His limbs and bones were also tormented, as if countless tiny insects were gnawing at his flesh.

Under wave after wave of excruciating pain, Qin Sang felt like his body no longer belonged to him. He didn't know how long it had been before the pain gradually subsided. Qin Sang trembled and crawled to a corner of the cave dwelling, reached for a jade bottle he had kicked over, and poured the healing pills inside into his stomach. Only then did he feel somewhat better.

His body was sticky and reeked of a foul stench, as if he'd rolled around in mud. Qin Sang gathered a stream of water and rinsed off the dirt, then returned to his meditation cushion and sat down again.

Breaking through to the eleventh level of the Qi Refining Period, Yi Jin Fa Sui would also enhance some innate talents. There was still a portion of the medicinal power remaining in the body after refining it, which would further deepen one's cultivation. But there was nothing to be happy about, because it was expected.

If one can't even do these things, then they are failing to live up to the grand reputation of the Foundation-Building Pill.

Qin Sang's worry was that after swallowing this Foundation Establishment Pill, he hadn't even seen the threshold of Foundation Establishment, let alone breaking through. It seemed that even if he gritted his teeth and took another one, there wouldn't be a better result.

"Oh!"

In the quiet cave dwelling, a low sigh echoed. Qin Sang tidied up the messy cave and calmed the turmoil in his heart. He entered meditation, running his cultivation technique, and seized the time to digest the accumulated medicinal power within him, lest it be wasted.

A month later.

Qin Sang returned to Mount Shao Hua and found Wen Shishu.

Have you taken the Foundation Building Pill

Wen Shishu immediately noticed Qin Sang's change and frowned slightly.

Qin Sang smiled wryly and nodded, his face filled with shame.

“You’re too impatient. Do you really think a single Spirit Fruit can completely transform your aptitude and protect you for life I thought you’d be more composed and stoic, but I see you’re just as easily flustered. What are your plans now If not, then go back to the Earth Abyss cave. You can take over Zhang Yan’s chores and be my right-hand man.”

In Wen Shishu's view, after Qin Sang wasted the only foundation-building pill, he would have no chance to build his foundation again. Being able to settle down in the sect and do things willingly and knowingly would be a good helper.

Qin Sang secretly thought that these two spirit stones were truly not wasted, but he hadn't given up on his path of cultivation. He opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle Wen, I have always had a question. Why is the Foundation Establishment Pill so scarce that even our Eight Righteous Sects can't guarantee a single pill for each disciple Could it be that the medicinal herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill are so rare that major sects haven't cultivated them"

>

Actually, it wasn't just the foundation-building pill. Qin Sang had visited several major cultivation markets near Shaohua Mountain after his last departure. He hadn't been able to afford much before, so he always just glanced at things quickly as he passed by.

After a careful understanding, I found that there are very few high-quality elixirs sold on the market.

The best healing pills, in quality, were only slightly better than those a few that Sun De possessed.

>

Elixirs for consolidating and nurturing one's foundation, effective for cultivators at the tenth level of the Qi Refining stage or above, are extremely rare and incredibly expensive. They are primarily found in auctions.

It is said that the Taoyuan Danzong excels in alchemy among the eight righteous sects, but one is that very few medicinal pills have been leaked out, and secondly, even if there are, they are priceless and not something he can afford.

This is also one of the reasons why Qin Sang decided to take a gamble.

Wen Shishu saw through Qin Sang's intention at a glance, "You want to refine the foundation-building pill yourself Not to mention how difficult it is to learn alchemy, just based on your Qi refining stage realm, you can't even find the main medicine for the foundation-building pill. Besides the foundation-building pill, Baota Peak houses many ancient spirit pill prescriptions, all of which are covered in dust and unrefined. The reason is that they lack the medicinal herbs needed for alchemy, even a skilled woman can't cook a meal without rice."
