Chapter 161


161 Wenen building his Foundation

During the battle of the northern border, no less than 100 white ghouls had been killed at the Xue state defense line.

Fortunately, these white ghouls didn’t know anything about formations, and most of them rushed over in a scattered manner. Otherwise, the combined forces of the 100 white Ghoul Kings would be enough to deal a heavy blow to the Allied forces of the two states.

The soul pearls of these 100 white ghost kings were equivalent to refining more than 30 batches of Foundation establishment pills.

Usually, this kind of large batch of foundation building pills would definitely require the help of a fourth-stage Alchemist, not a third-stage Alchemist.

A stage three Alchemist could only form three pills in a furnace if they were unlucky. They would be considered lucky if they could form four pills, and it was even rarer if they formed five pills. If he was a stage four Alchemist, he would be able to produce five pills in one batch, and sometimes seven.

If one batch of foundation building elixir was missing, it would be equivalent to a loss of ten thousand spirit stones.

Anyone would know how to settle this score.

For alchemists to practice, there were plenty of other third-tier medicinal pills. No one would joke about the foundation building pill.

Of course, it was impossible for these 100 level three soul pearls to all fall into the hands of the Qingfeng sect. The other three great sects of the Xue state had also received some each. There were about thirty-five pills in the hands of the Qingfeng sect. Counting the stock from previous years, it was not a big problem to refine twelve or thirteen cauldrons.

This wave of pills would be able to produce seventy to eighty foundation building pills.

The refining of the foundation building elixir was actually Quite time-consuming, and usually, a fourth-grade Alchemist had the strength of at least the initial enlightenment stage. It was impossible for the sect’s fourth-grade alchemists to spend all their time refining elixirs.

But even so, six years had passed, and the Qingfeng sect must have already refined a portion of it.

According to Li Yanling, he had opened at least two furnaces.

In that case, he had ten or so foundation building pills.

It was also because of this that the sect had decided to release a batch of foundation building pills this year.

Since he had an abundant reserve, it would not affect the rewards for the sect competition nine years later, so it was not a big deal to release some foundation building pills in advance. Cultivators who had a chance of reaching the foundation establishment stage would benefit a lot from it.

And this time, the conditions for releasing the foundation building pills were the same as in previous years: For all ninth-stage Qi refining cultivators under the age of 60,10000 contribution points.

Under these two conditions, the final decision would be made based on what the cultivator had done for the sect in the past, their age, their talent, and many other factors.

Lu chaoxi really hoped that Lu Wenen would be able to obtain the foundation building pill from this pill distribution.

Otherwise, he would have to wait another nine years, which would have a huge impact on Lu Wenen’s future development.

Lu Wenen definitely did not have 10000 contribution points.

However, the Lu family was quite rich now.

Before he left, Lu chaoxi asked Lu chaojun that there were more than 20000 usable spirit stones and more than 15000 resources in the Lu clan’s Treasury.

Taking out 10000 Yuan to support Lu Wenen would not affect the clan’s development momentum.

However, there was a conversion process in the process of converting the clan’s wealth and resources into Lu Wenen’s own sect contribution points.

The sect had always had such a tradition. Disciples of the same sect could borrow and return each other’s contribution; They could also obtain resources from external families and Exchange them for contribution points.

This tradition was actually what Daoist Kong Tong hated the most. He believed that this was the reason why the aristocratic family cultivators took up too much of the sect’s resources.

How could an ordinary Qi refining cultivator accumulate 10000 merit points before reaching the ninth level of Qi refining? Even if they did, how could they compare to the cultivators from the aristocratic families?

As a result, most of the foundation establishment pills ended up in the hands of the cultivators from the aristocratic families.

However, it was very, very difficult to change this. The most important problem was that if they didn’t allow people to borrow from each other and didn’t allow people to donate materials to exchange for contribution points, what would happen to the young cultivators? For someone like Lu Wenen, who had reached the standard of foundation building at the age of 25, he would have to work hard for a few decades. He might not even be able to save 10000 by the time he was 60? This was the method of cutting off the foundation of the sect.

Lowering the standard by 10000 contribution points? Then how would the value of the foundation building elixir be reflected? Although the foundation establishment pill was now in the hands of the cultivator from the aristocratic family, he would still have to pay 10000 contribution points. For this, the cultivator had to contribute to the sect. The insufficient amount had to be compensated with resources from the family. This was a large source of income for the sect.

After all, the Qingfeng sect had the final say in the conversion of donated items into contribution points. If the sect lacked something, they would give you a higher contribution point, and if they didn’t lack something, they would give you a little less. In any case, it wasn’t the market price. 10,000 contribution points were equivalent to 10000 spirit stones. However, 10000 spirit stones could not be exchanged for contribution points. One had to take out something of the same value but relatively rare. The sect would not accept using rotten fish and prawns to make up for the number.

If Kong Tong wanted to reform this, the benefits would be too great. The cultivators of the aristocratic families in the sect would fight him to the death, and some of the disciples of the humble families who had some achievements might not be happy.

At the moment, the time for the distribution of the foundation building pills was very close. It was very likely that it would be too late to transfer resources from the clan and have Lu Wenen exchange them for contribution points.

It was not the Lu clan’s fault for not making preparations in advance. The main reason was that the news of the foundation building pills being distributed this time was very sudden, and the sect clearly had other considerations. This news had not been announced yet. Without Li Yanling’s information, Lu chaoxi still did not know.

However, since it was too late to transfer them, there were always other ways.

Li Yanling herself had many sect contribution points. In order to reach Jindan, she had spent a lot of money, but there were still six to seven thousand left. Back then, Lu Wenen’s master, Zhang Shiman, had promised to lend Lu Wenen 2000 Yuan if he needed it.

In this way, he had close to nine thousand contribution points.

Six years ago, Lu Wenen had put himself in danger and signed up for the northern border battlefield. He had been involved in almost the entire war for the past two years. After going all out, he had accumulated close to 1500 contribution points.

10,000 contribution points would be enough.

As for Li Yanling and Zhang Shiman’s contribution points, the Lu family would not let them borrow for free. After that, the clan would gather resources and send them to the sect for the two of them to choose from. If they needed it, they would accept it. If they didn’t want it, they would donate it all to the sect. Then, they would exchange it for contribution points and return it to the two of them with some gifts.

It would cost about 10000 spirit stones in total, which was not a big problem.

After this series of actions, Lu Wenen obtained a foundation building pill three months later.

Under the protection of his master, Zhang Shiman, he began his closed-door training on Mount he Liang in an attempt to break through to the foundation establishment stage.

Half a month later, the news of his success reached Lu chaoxi’s ears, who was still on xuanqing peak.

At the same time, Lu Qing received a message from the system.

The newly added Foundation establishment cultivators gave him a hundred karma in return.
