Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 37 Foundation Establishment Failure...

Inside the fire house.

Qin Fang sat on a futon, with several objects emitting a faint, strange light floating in front of him.

These are the Foundation Establishment aid spiritual items he collected from the sect during this period.

While the Foundation Establishment Pill is indeed the most important thing during the Foundation Establishment stage, some auxiliary spiritual items are also needed during the process.

Of course~

If you can eat Foundation Establishment Pills like candy, like Han Li, then that's a different story.

Qin Fang couldn't be as extravagant as Han Li, so he had to honestly buy auxiliary items to help him build his foundation.

After a while~

After restoring his spirit to its optimal state, Qin Fang opened his eyes from his meditation.

Although it's just a bottleneck in the Foundation Establishment stage, and cultivators don't need to restore themselves to their best condition, even just a little bit of psychological comfort is very helpful.

"Phew~"

"Judging by the days, it should be about time."

"About three or four days have passed now. If we were to directly establish our foundation at this point..."

"It does seamlessly connect to the time when Han Li finishes refining the pills!"

Qin Fang murmured to himself.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will take Han Li about half a year to refine all the spiritual herbs he obtained from the forbidden area into Foundation Establishment Pills.

And at this moment, he began to build his foundation...

The timing was just right.

First, some auxiliary spiritual items and elixirs need to be taken in advance to reduce the pain caused by foundation building and marrow cleansing.

Secondly...

After the Foundation Establishment Pill's medicinal power has fully dissipated, even if one fails to break through the bottleneck and become a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a large amount of unabsorbed medicinal power will remain in the body.

Under normal circumstances, even if a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage fails to break through, they will diligently refine and absorb the remaining medicinal power within their body before fully emerging from seclusion.

Instead of taking multiple Foundation Establishment Pills in succession like Han Li to forcibly break through the bottleneck!

Qin Fang could naturally choose to do what Han Li did, but right now he only has a Foundation Establishment Pill, and taking the pill now to establish his foundation would not be entirely without benefits.

Even if the Foundation Establishment attempt fails, the remaining medicinal power can be refined within the next three or four months to raise one's cultivation level to the peak of the thirteenth level of the Qi Refining stage, laying a solid foundation for the next use of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In this way, once he obtains the Foundation Establishment Pill from Han Li, the probability of successfully establishing his foundation will definitely increase significantly.

Foundation Building Pill...

Even if it was obtained from Han Li at a second-hand price, it would still be quite valuable!

It's always good to spend less.

Having made his decision, Qin Fang didn't hesitate. He pointed directly at a jade bottle floating in front of him, and a drop of pale green liquid immediately flew out from it.

The juice enters the mouth...

A thick, bitter taste burst forth in my mouth in an instant.

Qin Fang merely frowned subconsciously before taking out another auxiliary spiritual item and putting it into his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Fang swallowed all the spiritual items he had prepared to aid in his foundation building.

With everything done, Qin Fang closed his eyes again and began to focus on refining the spiritual objects within his body.

This refining process took most of the day. Qin Fang remained almost completely still throughout, except for the occasional fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from his body, making him appear like a stone statue.

Half a day later...

Qin Fang suddenly opened his eyes, a strange light flashing within them.

"The time is ripe!"

"Danlai!"

Qin Fang patted his storage bag at his waist, and a bright blue pill flew out of the bag. It was the reward that Huangfeng Valley had given him three years ago.

Entrance to the Foundation Building Pill.

At first, I felt a strange sensation of alternating hot and cold between my mouth and nose.

After the Foundation Establishment Pill was completely sent into his dantian, Qin Fang instantly felt as if a furnace of heaven and earth had appeared inside his body, which was now burning fiercely and forging his dantian.

Strangely, Qin Fang's limbs experienced a completely different and extreme sensation.

It felt as if my limbs were frozen in ice water, and a bone-chilling cold would suddenly appear on them.

This extreme contrast of hot and cold is truly torturous!

Good thing...

The several auxiliary spiritual items that had been refined in advance finally came into play.

In an instant!

A warm current flowed through his entire body, seemingly connecting the furnace in his dantian with the 'ice water' in his limbs. With the two neutralizing each other, Qin Fang actually felt a faint sense of comfort.

But Qin Fang didn't dare to delay any longer and immediately began refining the medicinal power of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

One breath~

Five breaths~

Ten breaths~

Thirty breaths later.

Qin Fang's lips twitched a few times, and his face instantly turned ugly.

The sensation of extreme contrast between hot and cold that I had felt earlier had completely disappeared.

Instead, a sharp pain erupted from the lower abdomen!

Ouch!

Fortunately, there was the help of the auxiliary spirit, otherwise the pain alone would probably have tormented a person to the point of death.

Even so, the pain in my dantian was still unbearable.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Qin Fang's fair skin turned bright red, and his forehead, which had been perfectly clear, began to be covered with tiny beads of sweat.

It is evident that the pain of taking the Foundation Building Pill to cleanse the marrow and refine the essence should not be underestimated.

Fortunately, this pain did not last very long.

In less than half an hour, the intense pain completely disappeared without a trace, and I felt warm all over.

Qin Fang opened his eyes, remaining motionless in the posture of refining the medicinal power, but the disappointment in his eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

Foundation building failed...

Although they had anticipated this, otherwise they wouldn't have set their sights on Han Li.

If he were confident of achieving Foundation Establishment, why would he waste so much time on such a matter?

The reason for spending so much effort and scheming was not only to keep Han Li completely unaware, but also to obtain the information he wanted.

Isn't it precisely because I... don't have much confidence in successfully establishing my foundation?

"Just relax and take it easy."

"My current cultivation level has reached the peak of the twelfth level, and I estimate that I am only one layer away from the thirteenth level."

"For the next few months, we should stay calm and focus on refining the remaining medicinal power!"

"Then the probability of success will greatly increase after obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill..."

"And~"

"I don't need to worry about failing to establish my foundation at all! Han Li seems to have refined more than twenty Foundation Establishment Pills."

"Even if he used seven or eight of them himself, the rest would be more than enough for me!"

"Even if I only have three spiritual roots, or even five, I still have a chance to fight! Keep a calm mindset..."

The disappointment in Qin Fang's eyes slowly faded.

As for whether his "trading" of too many Foundation Establishment Pills will arouse Han Li's suspicion?

This is not something Qin Fang should worry about!

If he can't even break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, he'll have lost his future. Why should he worry about this little problem right now?

Everything must prioritize Foundation Building! Everything else must give way to it!

Qin Fang took a deep breath, closed his eyes again, and began to refine the remaining medicinal power in his body.

This refining process took more than four months.
