Chapter 618: The Ji Family and the Spiritual Spring (Please Subscribe, Please Bookmark)
"Why do you have to embarrass a junior in the Foundation Establishment Stage? You are so aggressive in Zunyang Market. Don't you think Zunyang Sect is important?"
"Since this young man needs Foundation Establishment Pills, you can easily exchange them with your ability. Why do you have to bully the weak here and lose the face of a Jindan cultivator in vain?"
After seeing the spiritual water in the water jar made of spiritual bamboo in the hands of the Foundation Establishment Stage stall owner, Sun Mingsheng's eyes immediately shot out a ray of light, and he stepped forward with a righteous face to stop the saliva-flying threats of a hot-tempered bearded cultivator.
"Could it be that this fellow is also interested in the spiritual water in front of him?"
After discovering Sun Mingzeng's cultivation, this hot-tempered bearded cultivator, who seemed to be bullying others with his power, had a flash of light in his eyes. In fact, he was quite shrewd.
In the world of cultivation, the cultivators who really rush around recklessly must have turned into dry bones long ago in their long cultivation career. Which cultivator who can condense the golden elixir along the way is not the best among them?
"Fellow Daoist is wise. This jar of spiritual water is of great use to me. If you can't provide five foundation-building pills in exchange as required by this young man, you will not get this jar of spiritual water."
Sun Mingzeng did not hide his purpose and admitted it openly. In the market, as long as he did not break the rules of the Zunyang Sect, he would not be afraid of anyone.
"Fellow Daoist is really straightforward. I don't have five foundation-building pills in my hand for trading. Could it be that you carry five foundation-building pills with you?"
The bearded cultivator showed a little hesitation on his face, but he did not believe that Sun Mingzeng carried five foundation-building pills with him.
For most Jindan-stage cultivators, the value of foundation-building pills is not too high. As long as you are patient enough to search for them, you can always get something, especially in the flourishing Tang Dynasty.
But most of these foundation-building pills are bought for the younger generations, so they are naturally not carried with them.
"This is a coincidence. Since you can't provide five foundation-building pills for trading, how about this young friend trade with me? This jade bottle contains five foundation-building pills."
Sun Mingzeng took out a jade bottle very readily. This was originally found for the family in the past year, but it has not been handed over yet.
As the only two Jindan-stage cultivators in the family, he naturally has the authority to make adjustments or temporary calls in a short period of time, and only needs to replenish them one by one in the future.
"If you want to trade, there is no problem. You only need four foundation-building pills. You just need to escort me back to the family. Otherwise, I would rather not trade."
The stall owner is also a cautious cultivator. Having obviously offended a cultivator with a bad temper in the early stage of the golden elixir, he would rather pay some price to ensure his own safety.
"A mere foundation-building pill is not worth my trouble. Besides, how can a cultivator in the golden elixir stage be so narrow-minded? Would he be jealous and hunt because of a failed transaction?"
Sun Mingzeng's words were full of righteousness, and the bearded cultivator beside him kept nodding his head in agreement.
As for escorting him back to the family, it is naturally possible if there are sufficient benefits, but this is not something that can be moved by a foundation-building pill.
"There is a spiritual spring in my family, which contains rich and pure water-attributed spiritual power, which has obvious auxiliary use for the advancement of seniors' cultivation."
After a tangled look flashed across the face of the foundation-building cultivator, a divine sense transmission appeared directly in his ear.
In fact, to a certain extent, this foundation-building cultivator was also taking a risk. After all, he did not know the attributes of the practice that Sun Mingzeng practiced, and everything was based on a basic guess.
"Where is your family? This spiritual water is really too important. As long as the distance is not too far and it will not delay too much time, I will take this deal."
Sun Mingzeng's eyes flashed with a fleeting light when he heard this. After all, with the assistance of a spiritual spring, the difficulty of subsequent promotion to the second level of the golden elixir will drop sharply.
Although his figure appeared in Zunyang Market, he was not too adapted to the unique fire attribute spiritual power here. If he finally chose to retreat here to advance to the second level of Jindan, not to mention that he would get half the result with twice the effort, under the erosion of fire attribute magic power, there is a high probability that the magic power in the Jindan would be impure. Once a foreign magic power appears, it would be a real loss.
"Report to the senior, my family is affiliated with the Zunyang Sect, and it is not too far away from Zunyang Market. With the senior's cultivation, it only takes two days of effort."
This foundation-building cultivator is naturally quite tactful. He did not hide the position of his family at all, but introduced the origin of his family openly.
Although he himself is only a foundation-building cultivator, the entire family has been passed down within the strength of the Zunyang Sect for more than hundreds of years, and a large amount of offerings are offered every year. As long as they have not violated the iron law of the Zunyang Sect, they will naturally not be too afraid of an outsider.
The Tang Dynasty has been passed down for a long time, and there are some fixed ways of getting along between the large and small sects and families in the whole territory.
As outsiders, Sun Mingzeng and the bearded monk were not willing to risk breaking the rules with just a can of spiritual water.
"Since you are willing to trade, I will not continue to interfere with this can of spiritual water."
The bearded monk knew that the transaction had been successfully completed. No matter what he really thought, he chose to withdraw.
"These four foundation-building pills belong to you from now on. At that time, I still need to rely on the power of your family's spiritual spring to help me to advance to the second level of the golden pill."
Before leaving, Sun Mingzeng said something with a hint of meaning, and at the same time, there was a certain warning in it, so as not to let the other party talk nonsense and deceive at will.
"It is an honor for me and my family that you have settled in the family's spiritual mountain."
The stall owner monk showed no other changes except for the timid expression on his face. It is obvious that the existence of the spiritual spring is genuine.
Two days later, with the flashing of two lights, it was Sun Mingzeng and his companions who appeared in front of a spiritual mountain with a height of only about 100 feet.
"This is where the Ji family is located. It has been multiplying and inheriting here for more than 1,500 years. The spiritual vein has also reached the peak of the second-level upper grade. With the help of the spiritual spring, it should be enough to assist the senior to make further progress in cultivation."
Ji Mingfeng, the patriarch of the Ji family, is also a late-stage foundation-building monk who sells third-level spiritual water in Zunyang Market.
"Such a rich water-attributed spiritual power, the spiritual vein grade is slightly inferior, but the environment is really comfortable, and it is worth the time I wasted on this trip."
Sun Mingzeng was basically satisfied.
