Chapter 106 Foundation Building Pill
Originally, Zhang Youliang had been the only force around Sanchazi Town after many battles.
He occupied all the land within a radius of more than ten miles.
Now that Zhang Youliang has been destroyed, such a large piece of land has been vacated. Er Gouzi has no choice but to take it.
Sima Yi and Ji Cang both urged Er Gouzi to occupy these territories.
If he doesn't want it, this unowned land will breed all kinds of bandits and bandits, and it will be a mess.
But he only has so few people under his command, and the large tracts of land around Shexi Village are enough for him to plant.
No matter how much land there is, there are not so many people to take care of it.
"Why not leave this matter to me."
This time, Sima Yi took the initiative to take on this matter.
"After the war, there are still many remnants of the rebel army wandering around. I plan to gather them all and settle them in various villages, so that they can farm steadily."
"Okay, go ahead. These are people who are used to eating human flesh. Don't be too kind. Kill those who should be killed."
"Don't worry. I know that to cure a bad sore, you have to cut the flesh and bones to cure the disease."
"Doctors are kind-hearted, but they can also use knives."
After getting Er Gouzi's consent, Sima Yi took his Yizi Camp away.
He also took Xiao Ezi, who was seriously injured and not awake.
Since Sima Yi is willing to contribute, it is best to let him do it.
"Qiuyue, you take a group of people and prepare more dry food.
And the three sheep I brought back last time, you have to take good care of them, and wait for them to give birth to me next year."
"Sun Wangcai, you go to the team and select 2,000 of the strongest people, and prepare to go to war in a few days."
After Er Gouzi arranged Qiuyue and Sun Wangcai, he found Ji Cang again.
"Brother Ji, I want to ask, what kind of treasures are you going to give me?"
He thought about it for two days, but still couldn't figure out what benefits he should ask for, so he just came to test Ji Cang's attitude.
"Why, you thought about it for two days, but you still haven't figured it out?
Just choose what you feel you need most, isn't it!"
Ji Cang felt that there was nothing difficult to decide, and if it were him, he could make a decision in a few breaths.
"I think I have thought about it, but I'm afraid it's too expensive, so I'm embarrassed to ask you."
Er Gouzi has been poor since he was a child. He feels that he lacks everything, so naturally he can't think and make decisions like Ji Cang.
"Tell me what you want, I'll think about it."
Based on Ji Cang's understanding of Er Gouzi, he instinctively felt that this guy wanted to cheat him, so he didn't dare to say too much.
"In fact, it shouldn't be a big deal for you, just give me 1,000 foundation-building pills."
Er Gouzi still remembered that when he sold the powerful pills to Sima Yi for the first time, he set the price too low.
Fortunately, Sima Yi was an honest man, so he didn't suffer a big loss.
The same mistake could not be made a second time. He was afraid of suffering a loss again this time, so he raised the price a little bit.
Foundation Building Pills were already the most valuable pills in his cognition, so he planned to ask for a thousand or so Foundation Building Pills.
Ji Cang looked at Er Gouzi as if he was a fool when he heard this.
"1,000 Foundation Building Pills, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Is it too much or too little?"
Er Gouzi had some self-doubt in his heart. Did he say too little again this time?
Ji Cang was so angry that he laughed.
"It seems that you really don't know how much 1,000 Foundation Building Pills are, so you dare to ask for a lion's mouth."
"Is 1,000 pills a lot? Then a little less, 500 pills... How about 300 pills?"
Er Gouzi was still confident enough after all, and he cut off more than half of it at once.
"It's impossible. There aren't that many foundation-building pills in the whole Qingzhou."
"The raw materials for foundation-building pills require five spiritual herbs that are hundreds of years old, and these five spiritual herbs can only grow in special spiritual lands."
"The output of foundation-building pills is limited, and the demand is high. Each pill is very precious."
Looking at Ji Cang's face, he didn't seem to be lying, so Er Gouzi could only make some concessions.
"Then 50 pills, how about that? You don't even have this little foundation-building pill, do you?"
"From one thousand to fifty, I have made a huge concession. You are a wealthy family after all, don't be so stingy."
"Why don't you offer 10,000? From 10,000 to 50, your concession is even greater."
Ji Cang sneered and continued.
"Who of us is stingy? Don't you know?"
He found that his originally calm temperament had become much more sarcastic and mean because of Er Gouzi.
If not, after a year, the entire treasury would not be enough for him to write an IOU.
"It's different. You are from a wealthy family. Even a hair you pluck out is thicker than my waist."
"We are farmers from a small family. We can only be frugal and save money. We can cut some iron from the tip of a needle, scrape some meat from the legs of a mosquito, and break a copper coin into two."
"I can only give you one foundation-building pill, no more, and you must register it at the county government office."
When Er Gouzi heard that there was only one foundation-building pill, he was not disappointed. Instead, he felt a little secretly happy.
He had seen it in books several times before. It is said that the foundation-building pill is extremely precious and difficult to obtain.
Otherwise, the county magistrate has been around for so many years and has plundered so much wealth, and he is still a Qi-training cultivator.
However, he did not intend to give up.
"How about giving you another pill, two pills? I will ask for one for Sima Yi."
"No, each person can only register to receive one pill. This is the law of the dynasty, and I cannot violate it."
Himekura shook his head and still refused.
"If you personally give me a Foundation Building Pill, do you need to register it at the county government office?"
Ergouzi didn't quite understand. The two of us were willing to give each other a Foundation Establishment Pill, so why did we need to register?
What the hell does this have to do with the Yamen?
"Of course, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, every foundation-building pill produced in the alchemy room was counted, and its whereabouts must be known.
We must not let the Foundation Establishment Pill fall into the hands of treacherous people and increase instability out of thin air. "
"Look at this rebellion, most of the cultists are Qi cultivators, and very few are above the foundation level."
"This will make it much easier to suppress rebellion. No matter how big the rebellion is, it will never become a reality.
As long as the court takes out its hands and makes a gesture, the disaster can be eliminated invisible. "
When Er Gouzi heard what Ji Cang said, he couldn't help but nodded, as if it was indeed true.
However, everyone in the world thinks that the Foundation Establishment Pill is extremely rare and rare.
In fact, only a few people knew that there was a large backlog of Foundation Establishment Pills in the treasury.
Some foundation-building pills have long since lost their spiritual energy and turned into dust because they were too old.
But Ji Cang knew very well that even if these foundation-building pills rot in the warehouse, they must not be released at will.
If a person has great strength, he will definitely want to obtain the corresponding wealth, power, and status.
With the power to destroy the world, who can still farm the land, pay taxes, and perform corvee work in peace?
Everyone wants to be a master.
But there is only so much wealth and power in the world, and only by enslaving others can you gain power and wealth.
It cannot be distributed equally to everyone, and it is destined to be in the hands of only a very few people.
If a person with strength does not get these corresponding powers, he will have many restless thoughts and become the source of trouble.
There will be no peace in the world for a day.
Therefore, from the day the Zhou Dynasty was founded, it had strictly blocked the link of Foundation Establishment Pill.
Only a few people who are loyal, reliable and trustworthy to the court are likely to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Thereby cultivating to a higher realm, holding higher official positions within the dynasty, and gaining greater power and wealth.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is equivalent to the ticket to the upper echelons of the dynasty, and must be firmly controlled.
Of course, this kind of operation technique belongs to the emperor's art. Only a few people can learn it and they can only do it secretly and never say it openly.
The superficial reason is that the production of Foundation Establishment Pills is rare, which makes them valuable.
Ergouzi asked for a thousand pills before, which was equivalent to guaranteeing 1,000 people to become officials.
Even the current Emperor Longxing Sheng does not have such a big hand.
Ergouzi didn't realize at this moment that the Foundation Establishment Pill given by Ji Cang actually contained so much gold and was the ticket to the upper level.
In his heart, he still thought it was just a relatively expensive pill.
"Since the Foundation Establishment Pill is so precious, where did the cult's Foundation Establishment monks come from?"
As far as Ergouzi knows, the cult not only has foundation building, but also the legendary golden elixir.
"Cults can't get foundation-building pills, so they often use some evil spells from ancient demonic ways."
"The layout of the cave where you rescued Sima Yi last time was probably prepared for foundation building."
"There are also some cultists who will collude with the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom and obtain some similar treasures from the Ten Thousand Monsters Kingdom."
No matter how tight the net is in the world, there will always be some omissions, and there is nothing we can do about it.
What Ji Cang didn't say in his mind was that some cultists could even get Foundation Building Pills from government offices.
Ergouzi got a foundation-building pill and asked about the technique again.
Ji Cang was very happy this time, regaining his previous calmness, and agreed without any hesitation.
"I see that you have brute strength and like to use heavy swords. Let me teach you a set of swordsmanship."
"But I don't have the original copy of the technique with me. I just saw it before and still remember some of it. I wrote it down for you in the past two days."
One day later, Ji Cang took a handwritten version of the exercises and threw them to Ergouzi.
The cover of the book reads "The Sword that Opens Mountains and Cuts Waters" in five large characters, which looks very domineering.
Ergouzi glanced through it and found out that this was an epee sword technique.
Ordinary flying swords and the like should be light, flexible and versatile.
This sword law is simple and unpretentious, without too many changes. It relies on strength to win, and it emphasizes defeating all methods with one force.
Someone who can cut in half with one sword will never use a second sword.
Moreover, this sword technique has a lot in common with the sword light that I had learned before.
When used, the true energy is used to form a very large and long sword light at the edge of the sword.
Ergouzi gave it a try and used the light of his sword to chop the rocks on the top of the mountain. It was extremely powerful.
With his skill of testing stones with swords, he even managed to carve out a piece of wasteland. Yushan looked on in shock.
"Master is mighty!"
"It's nothing. If you pick up these stones, you can grow some elixirs on this land."
Ergouzi wiped his sweat and said casually.
After such a period of sneaking around, a lot of elixirs have been planted on the top of the mountain.
There are more than ten varieties and hundreds of plants, and now they are considered to have some wealth.
And he also has a rare fire spirit grass in his hand.
If you gather together the Five Spirit Grasses, you can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill yourself.
As for the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he guessed that it should be included in the inheritance of Master Bai He.
As an alchemy master in the ancient Jindan period, if he can't even make a foundation-building pill, how can he say that he is a master.
"Yushan, I'm going out for a while this time, you take care of the house and wait for me to come back."
"Master, don't worry, Yushan will always be your most loyal servant. Master, Yushan has always kept the master's kindness in mind and will repay it with his whole life."
Seeing that Yushan is so sensible, Er Gouzi is relieved.
There are a total of 42 white geese on the mountain, including 11 spirit beasts, and the rest are ordinary mutant white geese.
Er Gouzi took 30 white geese with him this time, leaving only 12 on the mountain to watch the house.
At the foot of the mountain, a team of 2,000 people was ready to go. With Er Gouzi's order, everyone walked out of the village in an orderly manner.
On their way, when they passed a village, there was a rebel army claiming to be king.
Er Gouzi led a group of white geese, flew directly over the village, and threw a big stone.
With a loud bang, a house collapsed, scaring the villagers into panic.
"Everyone listen, surrender and you won't be killed!"
Er Gouzi rode on the goose's back and shouted loudly to the people below.
Under the threat of the huge rock in the sky, thousands of bandits entrenched in the village surrendered except for a few leaders who escaped.
With almost no effort, they have successfully conquered a force.
Er Gouzi only left a small team to guard, and Sima Yi took care of the rest.
Their large team continued to move forward.
