Chapter 144 The Battle for the Foundation Establishment Pill

Jianzhou is located in the northern part of Yue State, ranking second in area among the thirteen states. Its territory is mostly mountains and hills, with a sparse population. It also borders the neighboring country of Yuanwu.

The Taiyue Mountains are located in the west of Jianzhou, stretching for thousands of miles. Not only are all kinds of wild beasts and raptors emerging in an endless stream, they are a primitive mountain forest that is rarely visited by people. There are even occasional rumors of woodcutters and hunters claiming to have seen gods and monsters, which has given this place a A veil of mystery.

Naturally, ordinary people would not expect that the entire central part of the mountain range has been occupied by Huang Maple Valley, one of the seven major cultivating sects, for thousands of years.

From the top, it looks like this place is no different from other mountains. The mountains are steep and the trees are lush. But in fact, it is covered by a huge Qimen formation. It is all an illusion. In fact, there are already densely built structures below. Countless balconies, main halls, and some immortal cultivators with leaf-shaped instruments on their feet were flying around at low altitudes, constantly busy.

The current leader of Yellow Maple Valley, Zhong Lingdao, is over a hundred years old, but he still has a middle-aged appearance with a long beard. He is a practitioner in the late foundation period, and he is calm by nature, good at organizing, and has a high prestige within the sect. , the elders in the sect and his fellow apprentices were extremely convinced of him.

But the leader of Zhong Da, who had always been calm and confident, now frowned and sat on the main seat of the hall. He looked helplessly at a middle-aged man and an old man who were arguing fiercely in front of him. There are also more than a dozen monks with different expressions sitting on both sides of the main hall. These people are all administrators of Huang Maple Valley.

"Senior Brother Murong! The recipients of the Foundation Establishment Pills have been assigned months ago, but now they have canceled my grandnephew's pills and given them to another casual cultivator. This is so outrageous!" The old man was filled with anger. shouted at the middle-aged scholar with a white face and no beard.

It’s really surprising that this old man is obviously much older than the middle-aged man, but he still insists on calling him senior brother!

"Junior Brother Ye, isn't this an accident? This happens only once in hundreds of years. Someone uses the Immortal Ascension Order to get started. How can we ignore it? We must give up a Foundation Establishment Pill to the visitor. Ah!" The middle-aged scholar said slowly and calmly without changing his expression.

"But this person is not a member of the cultivating family at all, he is just a casual cultivator. Do you need to give him a foundation-building pill? I think it is enough to just let him get started. In this way, he will be considered to have deep blessings!" The old man He argued with a red face.

"Junior brother Ye, you can't say that! How do you know that his ancestors are not from the cultivating family? Maybe it was just the decline of the family that made him become a casual cultivator! Besides, who can guarantee that his family will last forever! Maybe Ye Junior Brother's Ye family will also fall one day. When the descendants of the Ye family come to us with the Immortal Ascension Order, we people in Yellow Maple Valley should not give him the Foundation Establishment Pill and just let him enter the door? If Junior Brother If you dare to swear this poisonous oath in front of everyone, I, Murong Shan, will turn away and leave, never mentioning the Foundation Establishment Pill again."

The middle-aged man was chatting, and the old man's face turned white and blue, and he was speechless.

How dare the old man make such an oath that will cause endless trouble! Besides, even if he did get angry, it would just be the guy in front of him who has always been at odds with him and just let go. Who knows if anyone else will pop up again?

"But why does it have to be my great-nephew's? Can't the others be released?" The old man asked loudly, unwilling to give in.

"This has to do with my junior brother's great nephew! He was so unlucky! He actually ranked so low in the test." The middle-aged man shook his head with a look of regret on his face.

Seeing the person opposite acting so pretentious, the old man was so angry that his teeth itched with hatred! But it was related to the interests of his grandnephew, and he could not care about anything else. He still tried to distinguish: "My grandnephew is indeed a little lower in the ranking, but he is not the person who ranks last in taking the Foundation Establishment Pill! Aren't there two others? "

"Junior brother is right. There are two other people who ranked behind Ling's grandnephew during the test, but the situation of these two people is really special! Only Junior Brother Ye's grandnephew has been wronged!" The middle-aged man said with regret. Said in a tone.

"What's so special? If you don't give me a convincing reason, I won't be able to swallow this breath!" The old man was also anxious and made harsh words.

"Nonsense! What's not to swallow? These two people are indeed special. Skipping them and directly choosing Junior Brother's grandnephew is what I agree with. As for the reason! Junior Brother, I will explain it to you without asking. "

When Zhong Lingdao saw that the old man really didn't want to talk, his face sank and he scolded him a few times.

When the old man saw Zhong Lingdao saying the same thing, his heart trembled! He only knew that during the test, there should be two more people behind his nephew. As for who they were, he really didn't know. This was what made him really angry! Is there really any exception that can make the leader, who has always been fair and strict, show partiality?

Zhong Lingdao waved his hand and motioned the middle-aged scholar to sit back down, then sighed and said:

"Junior Brother Ye, I'm afraid I really have to make my grandnephew feel wronged this time! One of the other two people is the only descendant of Uncle Hongfu in the world, so even though the little girl originally failed the test, I still chose her. He came out and was put on the list for taking the Foundation Establishment Pill. Presumably Junior Brother Ye will not cancel this person's Foundation Establishment Pill, right?"

When the old man heard Hongfu's name, he was startled, and his expression immediately changed, and he became frightened.

"Since you are the descendant of Uncle Hongfu, of course you should take care of him. How could I be so disrespectful to my elders? I am convinced by this person's arrangement." The old man said with a pale face.

Sect Master Zhong Da was not surprised to see the old man's expression like this. After all, as the only female surname among the monks in the Dan-formation stage in the Yellow Maple Valley, there is no one here who doesn't know the short-term protective temper of Master Hongfu! If the little girl is really deprived of her foundation building qualifications, not to mention the old man will be unlucky, I am afraid that even the leader himself will not have a good life in the future!

"Where is one more person?" The old man was still unwilling to give up. Although he knew that the remaining person must have a good reason, he still asked with a sense of luck.

"Do you think this is enough reason for the remaining one, who possesses the supernatural spirit root of wind attribute?" Zhong Lingdao said slowly, twirling his long beard with his hand.

When the old man heard this, he was speechless. There is a clear text in the Yellow Maple Valley sect rules: Those with heavenly roots and supernatural spiritual roots will have priority in building foundations. There is nothing to complain about!

But even though his great-nephew was not his biological grandson, he had watched him grow up day by day since the day he came in, and he was closer to him than his own grandson. How could he have the heart to tell him that his qualifications for foundation building had been revoked!

"Then is my great-nephew really hopeless? You know, if you wait another ten years, my great-nephew will have missed the best foundation-building period, and there is no hope of entering the foundation-building stage again in this life!" What the old man said was true. It was a bit desolate, causing many people sitting nearby to whisper for a while.

"Junior Brother Ye, there is actually nothing we can do!" An old man with a gloomy face and a hooked nose stood up and consoled the old man named Ye.

"What? Is there anything else that Senior Brother Wu can do?" The old man surnamed Ye perked up after hearing this. This Senior Brother Wu is famous for his resourcefulness in the sect. Maybe he really has some solution!

The old man surnamed Wu smiled slightly and did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he turned his head and saluted Zhong Lingdao, and asked loudly: "Excuse me, Master, have the spiritual root attributes of this person who came with the Immortal Order been tested? His qualifications? how?"

"It doesn't seem to be very good! Junior Brother Wang, you personally brought the people and did the test, please tell me about it!" Zhong Lingdao said to someone in the row on the left.

"Yes, Senior Brother! A light green middle-aged man stood up and said calmly:

"This man is not very old. He looks about eighteen or nineteen years old. He is in the early stage of the ninth level of the basic wood attribute. His spiritual root attribute lacks gold in the fourth attribute. He is a pseudo-spiritual root. Judging from the overall situation, this person should have low qualifications, but he should I have had adventures and practiced diligently, otherwise I would not be where I am today. If there are no other opportunities, basically I can only practice to the eleventh or second level of the basic skills in this life, and cannot enter the foundation building stage. Even if I take one pill of foundation building Dan, but the possibility of entering the foundation building stage is only one percent..."

"Okay!" The old man surnamed Wu interrupted loudly before Junior Brother Wang could finish speaking.

"What's good?" the old man surnamed Ye asked helplessly.

Others also looked at the old man surnamed Wu with puzzled faces. Only Zhong Lingdao frowned slightly, guessing a bit in his heart.

"I would like to ask the head brother, if someone comes to give up taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, does that count as a breach of our promise?" said the old man surnamed Wu.

"Of course, but no one is allowed to use threats or coercion to do this, otherwise our reputation in Yellow Maple Valley will be ruined!" Headmaster Zhong woke up gently.

"Haha! Master, please rest assured, of course!" The old man surnamed Wu smiled slightly, then turned to the old man surnamed Ye and said:

"Junior Brother Ye, don't you mind spending a little money to buy his Foundation Establishment Pill? You know that his qualifications are so low, and his Foundation Establishment success rate is even pitiful. There should be a high chance that he will give up the Foundation Establishment Pill. In exchange for something more practical!" The old man surnamed Wu looked confident.
