Chapter 746: Foundation

"This..."

Looking at the two jade boxes, Lu Qingshan was so excited he couldn't speak clearly, his hands trembling as he took the jade boxes, looking at the two spirit pills the size of longan eyes lying quietly inside.

The moment he opened them, he closed them, as if worried that the pills inside would fly away in that instant.

Nascent Soul Formation Pill and Spirit-Nurturing Pill—these two things, for him before, were simply Arabian Nights.

Even for the Nascent Soul Formation Pill, the former Yunyang Sect, unless they sold the entire Yunyang Sect, might be able to buy one Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

But this was obviously impossible, and even if he had this financial power, in the Southern Wilderness Continent, there was simply no such channel.

In other places, the hope was even more slim, and once wealth was exposed, there was even a danger to life.

Therefore, over ninety-nine percent of the sects in the Southern Wilderness Continent had no chance of encountering a Nascent Soul Formation Pill.

There were also a few sects that had such a hope, and almost all of them could barely obtain one Nascent Soul Formation Pill every few hundred years.

As for the Spirit-Nurturing Pill, there was even less hope.

In the Southern Wilderness Continent, in the last tens of thousands of years, the Spirit-Nurturing Pill had only appeared once.

It was easy to imagine the preciousness of these two pills.

Yet now, these two pills were lying quietly in front of him, and Lu Qingshan's spirit was somewhat dazed.

Not only Lu Qingshan, but which of the high-level officials of the Purple Firmament Sect present was not dazed?

Especially the remaining three Golden Core cultivators, all of them showed excited yet regretful expressions on their faces.

Because they couldn't use them at all now; their cultivation was really too low.

Except for Lu Qingshan, the highest cultivation among the three was only Zhang Laozu at the fourth layer of the Golden Core stage; with the resources he obtained in the Purple Firmament Sect now, his cultivation speed, if he wanted to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Golden Core stage, not to mention anything else, would take at least two or three hundred years.

Of course, in the middle, if he encountered any sudden enlightenment or a state of heaven and earth unity, his cultivation might go a step further.

But this state was something one could hope for but not seek; many cultivators never encountered such a state in their entire lives.

Even Zhang Laozu had to wait so long, and Jinguang and Lin Taihe were only at the second layer of the Golden Core stage, so the time required was even longer.

As for those Purple Mansion cultivators, they should think about attempting to break through to the Golden Core stage first.

"Senior, I..."

"No need to say more; since you are a disciple of the Purple Firmament Sect, and you have paid so much for the Purple Firmament Sect, now these are what you deserve."

"For the next thirty years, you will just close-door cultivate here; if you have anything, you can ask me."

Su Fan stopped Lu Qingshan's words.

Then he looked at the other high-level officials present: "You don't need to worry about these Nascent Soul Formation Pills and Spirit-Nurturing Pills either; as long as I am in the Yuanyang Realm for one day, I will prepare them for you. What you need to do is focus on cultivation and actively develop the Purple Firmament Sect."

Su Fan's words made everyone present very excited; they did not know how Su Fan obtained these Nascent Soul Formation Pills and Spirit-Nurturing Pills.

However, hearing his tone so relaxed, it seemed that these Nascent Soul Formation Pills and Spirit-Nurturing Pills were very easy for him.

Everyone present knew that Su Fan was a person who had reincarnated and was now rapidly recovering his cultivation from his previous life.

But even for a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, obtaining these two things was not so simple.

Otherwise, sects like the Yuanding Sect would not have Nascent Soul stage cultivators appearing one after another.

The Yuanding Sect was powerful, but sometimes, there would also be gaps.

Generally, top-tier sects, especially those with deep foundations, would have a Nascent Soul stage cultivator born every three or four hundred years.

Weaker ones might need six or seven hundred years, which could ensure the inheritance of the Nascent Soul stage.

Think of those top-tier sects in the Zhongzhou; they would have Nascent Soul stage cultivators appearing one after another.

Even if there were Nascent Soul stage cultivators in the sect who died of old age or died accidentally, they could maintain the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

If one or two died, they could recover within a hundred years.

The reason for this, besides their long inheritance, was that they had great help for Golden Core cultivators attempting to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and there were all kinds of treasures to assist in breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, such as Nascent Soul Formation Pills, Spirit-Nurturing Pills, or other heaven-sent treasures.

Especially the Nascent Soul Formation Pill; although this thing could at most increase the chance by ten percent, for a peak Golden Core cultivator, ten percent was also very important.

Like those top-tier sects, they were not short of top-tier Golden Core cultivators, and with enough Nascent Soul Formation Pills, even if one out of ten succeeded, it was enough to ensure the number of Nascent Soul stage cultivators in their sect.

Obviously, one out of ten succeeding was obviously impossible; as an ancient top-tier force, those peak Golden Core cultivators were absolutely different from the peak Golden Core cultivators of ordinary sects or loose cultivators.

Their chance of successfully breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage would be even greater.

The Yuanding Sect, as the strongest sect in the Southern Wilderness Continent, placed in the Zhongzhou, its strength did not even reach the first-class, barely second-class, and as for the foundation, it could not even compare to the third-class.

So the Yuanding Sect could not be like those sects; the peak period of the Yuanding Sect had a full sixteen Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and back then it almost unified the Southern Wilderness Continent.

It was just that later it had a great battle with the Demon Clan's Poison Dragon Swamp, suffering heavy losses, and until now it had not recovered, but instead had become weaker and weaker.

There were forces in the State of Wu that were constantly challenging them.

If it were those ancient sects in the Zhongzhou, it would be impossible.

Of course, in the Zhongzhou, no sect could unify the Zhongzhou; the Zhongzhou was too big; after all, since the ancient times, the Zhongzhou had been the center of the Yuanyang Realm.

The area of the Zhongzhou was at least a thousand times larger than the Southern Wilderness Continent.

Some third-class forces in the Zhongzhou occupied territory that might be larger and richer than the Southern Wilderness Continent.

The foundation of the Yuanding Sect was too low to maintain; even if sometimes they could obtain quite a few Nascent Soul Formation Pills, it was very difficult to be like those top-tier sects.

Compared to the Yuanding Sect, the Purple Firmament Sect's foundation was inevitably worse; after all, the predecessor of the Purple Firmament Sect, the Yunyang Sect, was also established tens of thousands of years ago.

And the Yuanding Sect had at least over a hundred thousand years.

But the Purple Firmament Sect had Su Fan; in terms of foundation, it might be worse, but the improvement of strength would inevitably be very fast.

One Su Fan was wealthier than ten Primordial Spirit stage cultivators.

As long as there was enough time, Su Fan alone could cultivate ten or even dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

This was something that even those top-tier sects were difficult to achieve.

Yet Su Fan was not difficult.

The Nascent Soul Formation Pill, for Su Fan, was really not difficult; the Spirit-Nurturing Pill was slightly more difficult.

But as long as he put his heart into it, the Spirit-Nurturing Pill was not impossible.

He could already refine the Spirit-Nurturing Pill; as long as there were enough materials, he wanted to refine as many as he wanted.

The spirit herbs for refining the Spirit-Nurturing Pill, even if scarce in the Zhongzhou, would not be non-existent. ===== CHAPTER 747 =====
