Chapter 201 - 201 Building a Foundation (2)

201 Building a Foundation (2)
If it was an ordinary battle, Jiang Ming could recover with the Qi-Returning Pill. However, with the support of the Mystic Flame Spirit Sacrifice Spell, his strength was infinitely close to the peak of the Qi Refinement Realm, and the Qi-Returning Pill at its current level was not enough.
“It seems like I’ll have to look for middle-grade alchemy recipes now!”
Jiang Ming had been specializing in alchemy for more than twenty years. He was ready to go further with it.
Moreover, when he entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, primary alchemy recipes would be useless. It was better to prepare early.
However, for now, he could relax. He still had about thirty years until the next opening of the Black Rock Ruins.
Jiang Ming stretched lazily, and then suddenly remembered that he had found something interesting at the trade fair.
He hurriedly took out a greenish-gray lotus seed from his storage ring. After sizing up the courtyard, he dug a hole in a corner and cast the Misty Rain Technique over it to create a pond. He then planted the green jade lotus in it.
“I’d like to see what you’ve become after thousands of years of transformation. Brat, you’ve been relaxing for a year. It’s time to get back to work!” Jiang Ming patted the spirit beast bag and released the King of Medicine.
“Pull out these weeds. Also, if the water in the pond is dirty, remember to clean it in time.”
He had not had the time to tidy up the courtyard after returning. The spirit herbs had grown quite tall. However, they were surrounded by weeds.
The King of Medicine was jumping around happily, thinking that it could eat fancy herbs again.
The King of Medicine’s body suddenly froze. It saw the spirit herb garden with weeds growing wildly in front of it as well as the huge pond.
“If you do a good job, you’ll be able to eat and drink well!”

Jiang Ming’s life returned to its usual pace. In addition to alchemy and farming, he devoted himself to cultivation and tried to break through his current bottleneck.
Although the chaos had subsided more than a year ago, there were still some lingering effects.
In the last conflict, Xiaoqian Mountain and the Li Sword Sect gained a big advantage. However, after the Fire Lotus Valley and the Qingyin Pavillion suffered a huge loss, it was rumored that they had now teamed up with one of the three grotto-heavens.
According to some merchants, they had seen some monstrous young people in the Fire Lotus Valley. They were only in their teens. However, their cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Qi Refinement Realm. Even the direct descendants of the Fire Lotus Valley were respectful to these young people and treated them as distinguished guests.
As for Xiaoqian Mountain’s elder, he went into hiding again after the last attack and never showed his face again.
“No matter what, it seems like there’s still trouble brewing.”
Jiang Ming sighed. However, he did not run away in panic.
The world of immortal cultivation could never be at peace. He needed to look out for himself. No matter what, he needed to get stronger.

Jiang Ming carried a big axe, cut a huge piece of demonic beast meat, and threw it into a big pot of boiling water.
“The meat of a Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast is ridiculous!”
Smelling the fragrance of the meat in the air, Jiang Ming shook his head helplessly. It took a full day to stew the meat until it was tender.
He had spent a lot of money on spirit herbs to supplement this stew. Thus, he hoped it was edible.
Jiang Ming was a little apprehensive. However, he served himself a bowl and took a bite. It was delicious! He finished the whole pot.
Jiang Ming’s eyes lit up. He felt an extremely exuberant essence in his body, which was seeping into his body, causing a burning sensation.
He could not rest and immediately went to the courtyard and began to practice the Thunderclap Technique.
A series of vague sounds burst out from his body. It was his surging blood Qi!
Every punch made Jiang Ming feel like he was making progress.
Jiang Ming practiced through the night and only stopped after the sun had risen.
“My blood Qi increased more in just one night than in the entire year I spent in Hongyang city.”
Jiang Ming could not help but be overjoyed.
During his days in Hongyang city and the Blue Sunshine Mountain Range, he only hunted demonic beasts at the Qi Refinement Realm. It was extremely difficult to increase his blood Qi by even a little.
“Let’s try that breathing technique!”
Jiang Ming’s mind moved, and he immediately continued to practice the fist technique. However, the breathing technique he used this time was the incomplete breathing technique that he had heard from the bone flute.
With the circulation of the breathing technique, Jiang Ming seemed to be able to feel that the blood Qi that had just increased was quickly suppressed again. However, this kind of suppression made his blood Qi more condensed and stable, which was consolidating his foundation.
“The Thunderclap Technique is a method to increase my blood Qi, while this incomplete breathing technique is to refine my blood Qi so that my blood Qi can be more condensed. I’ll cultivate by combining the two together. With the help of Foundation Establishment Realm demonic beast meat and middle-grade spirit herbs, I’ll break through in no time!”
Jiang Ming’s eyes were burning. He was going to attempt to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm in martial arts too!
“It’s a pity that this meal costs more than a hundred spirit stones. I hardly earn anything with alchemy. Cultivation really sucks you dry!”
However, he did not feel any heartache. As long as he could become stronger, even if he had to spend ten thousand spirit stones, it would be worth it!
