Chapter 144 Digging the Basement, Foundation Establishment Pill Price

“What?”

“Senior brother, you’ve reached the Foundation Establishment stage?”

When did this happen?

At this moment, Han Su felt his head buzzing.

It’s only been a few days since I last saw them, and they’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

Moreover, he did not get stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection stage and broke through very smoothly.

It’s true what they say: comparisons are odious.

Xu Changqing retorted, “Haven’t you heard?”

Han Su shook his head, looking bewildered, and said, “Where would I have heard that?”

Xu Changqing chuckled and said, “I broke through at the thirty-eighth level of the earth veins.”

Han Su was stunned, then thought carefully and finally realized, “I remember now, when we first arrived there, there were indeed people discussing that someone with a wood spirit root had successfully established their foundation. I didn’t expect that they were talking about you, Senior Brother!”

Xu Changqing nodded slightly: “That’s right, you’re talking about me.”

Han Su said somewhat awkwardly, “This…I…I didn’t prepare a gift either.”

Xu Changqing didn’t seem to care much, waving his hand and saying, “Your breakthrough is the greatest gift you could give me.”

Upon hearing this, Han Su’s eyes filled with tears, and he choked with emotion.

If it weren’t for Senior Brother Xu’s timely reminder, I wouldn’t have been able to break through this time.

Although yellow gas emerges from the earth’s veins, this happens only once in a while.

However, it doesn’t always cause the spirit stone vein to collapse and release attribute-less spiritual energy.

To some extent, this is a unique opportunity or serendipitous encounter for those with an earth-elemental spirit root.

Unfortunately, Han Su only managed to grasp the attribute-less spiritual energy this time, without bearing a trace of yellow energy.

Otherwise, they could take this opportunity to become core disciples and cultivate more advanced spells.

At this moment, Han Su noticed that there was an extra acre of spirit field on the other side, and couldn’t help but regret, “That’s right, when the Spirit Farmer breaks through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, an extra acre of Grade 2 spirit field will be added. I actually missed loosening the soil!”

Seeing the other party’s guilty expression, Xu Changqing comforted him, “So what if you missed it? It’s not a big deal. In the early stages of land reclamation, there were disciples with earth spirit roots who infused the soil with earth energy while loosening it.”

Han Su still felt bad about it: “But, I should at least do something for you, shouldn’t I?”

Xu Changqing pondered and said, “In that case, I’m planning to build a basement to store things. If you have a lot of energy to spare, you can do it.”

Han Su’s eyes lit up: “Okay, leave it to me.”

After reaching the peak of Qi Refining, his control over earth elemental power became even more refined.

Therefore, it can handle everything from loosening soil and building houses to digging basements.

Next, the two began to plan the depth and scope of the basement.

In fact, Xu Changqing had already thought it through, so he made the arrangements very quickly.

Open an entrance to the basement right where the kitchen is located.

In this way, all the ingredients for brewing alcohol can be put into it.

Bang~

Bang bang~

As the ground continued to shake, the basement gradually took shape.

The pheasants, who were lying in their nest, were so frightened by the noise that they immediately ran out and didn’t dare to stay near the wooden house. They quickly ran to the edge of the field.

Looking at the startled dog Wangwang and the startled guinea fowl, Xu Changqing grinned wickedly, seemingly gloating.

Time quickly came to noon.

Thanks to Han Su’s efforts, the basement began to take shape.

The height from the kitchen floor to the bottom of the basement is about three meters, and the overall space is a 7-meter by 7-meter square, which is enough to store things.

While Han Su was resting, Xu Changqing started making lunch.

Considering that the disciples with earth spirit roots eat a lot, a large pot of top-grade spirit rice was specially steamed.

The dishes were all home-style cooking.

A plate of top-quality chili stir-fried with spirit beast meat.

A pot of top-quality winter melon and pork rib soup.

Add a plate of premium chili-fried pearl eggs.

This was Han Su’s first time eating Xu Changqing’s cooking, and he was very much looking forward to it.

Even though I haven’t eaten it yet, just looking at it makes my mouth water.

The dish, made with premium chili peppers and stir-fried spirit beast meat, is glossy and reddish-brown, with a pungent aroma.

This premium winter melon and pork rib soup features a clear broth, translucent winter melon flesh, and tender pork ribs.

Premium chili pepper stir-fried with pearl eggs, the egg yolks are fluffy and the chilies are bright red.

After setting down the bowls and chopsticks, Xu Changqing called out, “Let’s eat!”

Han Su didn’t pick up his chopsticks immediately. Instead, he waited until Xu Changqing picked up a piece of slightly browned spirit beast meat and put it in his bowl before he began to eat.

He liked to eat meat, so he chose to stir-fry spirit beast meat. He picked up a piece, put it in his mouth, chewed it a few times, and then his eyes widened.

Although the outer layer of the spirit beast meat is slightly crispy, the inside is firm and chewy, and the spicy flavor has a strong aftertaste. After only a few bites, you’ll start to “sizzle”.

At this moment, Xu Changqing said, “Junior Brother Han, I suddenly remembered something.”

Han Su scooped up a spoonful of pork rib soup to relieve the spiciness, then asked, “What?”

Xu Changqing continued, “I’ve heard from others that if you’re stuck at the Qi Refining Perfection stage, you need a Foundation Establishment Pill to break through.”

He then remembered that Hua Lao and Zhang Su had mentioned it before.

However, Foundation Establishment Pills are extremely rare and expensive, making them difficult for ordinary disciples to obtain.

Moreover, different attributes require different Foundation Building Pills.

For example, if you have an Earth Spirit Root, you need to add the rare Earth Lotus to the Foundation Building Pill as the main ingredient.

If I remember correctly, one of these plants costs eighty mid-grade spirit stones.

Of course, these were the previous prices.

As the [Official Disciple Competition] draws ever closer, the prices of all sorts of things are skyrocketing.

Xu Changqing put down his chopsticks, found the Spirit Mirror that Li Sancai had given him, and then infused it with wood elemental power.

Soon, the prices of various spiritual plants appeared.

Seeing this, Han Su also put down his chopsticks and stepped forward with a curious expression.

to continue reading the exciting content!

Xu Changqing quickly located the [Earth Lotus] and immediately checked today’s transaction price.

When they saw that one flower required one hundred mid-grade spirit stones, both of them were stunned.

If a single Earth Lotus costs so many spirit stones, you can imagine how expensive Foundation Establishment Pills are.

However, this spiritual mirror can only display the price of spiritual plants; it cannot display the price of elixirs or similar items.

This function was originally present, but it was canceled due to a collective protest from the alchemists of the [Alchemy Alliance].

Han Su was dumbfounded: “One hundred mid-grade spirit stones would take me at least five years of mining to collect, unless I work tirelessly to loosen the soil for others, which would be faster.”

Xu Changqing thought for a moment, put away the spirit mirror, and then took out Bai Ling’er’s communication talisman.

As the wood elemental power was injected, the connection was quickly established.

“Hello?”

“I am Xu Changqing!”

“It’s lunchtime, are you going to treat me to lunch?”

“If I’m not looking for you, is your sister home?”

“Uh…why do you want to see my sister?”

“I have something I’d like to ask you.”

“All right.”

You could tell that Bai Ling’er was a little disappointed.

But she didn’t get angry; instead, she obediently handed the communication talisman to her sister.

“Xu Changqing is looking for me?” Bai Zhu’er was quite surprised.

Her first reaction was that the other party had messed up and failed to pass Yu Caiqing’s test.

Otherwise, why would they take the initiative to contact me at this time?

Nine times out of ten, they are seeking help in this regard.

After confirming the change of personnel, Xu Changqing went straight to the point without any pleasantries: “What is the current price of a Foundation Establishment Pill with Earth Spirit Root as its main ingredient, Earth Lotus?”

Upon hearing that it had nothing to do with Senior Sister Yu, Bai Zhu’er breathed a sigh of relief, then retorted irritably, “You’ve already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, why are you asking this? And it’s a Foundation Establishment Pill exclusive to Earth Spiritual Roots?”

Xu Changqing glanced at the anxious Han Su beside him and replied, “I asked for a friend.”

Bai Zhu’er thought for a moment and said, “In the current pill market, Foundation Establishment Pills for Water, Wood, and Fire spiritual roots are relatively cheap, costing around two hundred mid-grade spirit stones. However, those for Metal and Earth spiritual roots are much more expensive, costing at least three hundred mid-grade spirit stones!!!”
