Chapter 52 Crisis

Yang Che stood up and suddenly felt that the spiritual energy in the inner cave was more concentrated than before.

So he was delighted and immediately walked to the spiritual soil.

He found that the seedling of the spiritual eye tree had grown a little.

The small leaves that were not even an inch long before have now grown to an inch, exuding vitality.

Fortunately, this spiritual eye tree is just a seedling, otherwise with Yang Che's magic power, it would be impossible to dig it out easily.

If a mature spiritual eye tree is forcibly removed without the power of heaven, its efficacy will be severely damaged.

At this time, Yang Che suddenly remembered what was said in the "Beast Taming Sutra", that if the spirit beast insect eggs are controlled by the spirit control technique and placed on the spiritual object for nourishment, it can not only accelerate hatching, but also have a certain chance of evolution.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out the spirit beast bag he had obtained before, and took the strange handkerchief with insect eggs in it in his hand.

According to the "Beast Taming Sutra", Yang Che pierced his finger, performed the mind control technique, and dripped a drop of blood essence on the insect egg.

Blood flashed, the blood essence was absorbed, and the insect egg became much larger, faintly red, and soon fell off the handkerchief.

Then, Yang Che carefully moved it to one of the leaves of the Spirit Eye Tree.

After doing this, Yang Che's face turned pale.

It must be said that this mind control technique consumes a lot of mana, and Yang Che, who is only at the eleventh level of Qi Refining, can perform it with great difficulty.

After meditating and regulating his breath and restoring his mana, Yang Che walked out of the Tongyou Cave.

As soon as he left the cave and stepped into the forest, Yang Che heard dense rustling sounds around him.

"Spotted toad!"

A trace of solemnity flashed in Yang Che's eyes. He originally wanted to sprinkle the powder to drive away toads around the cave, but he gave up after thinking about it.

If he really sprinkled the powder, wouldn't it be a case of trying to cover up the truth?

Taking out the flying magic weapon of locust leaves, Yang Che flew to the 'Baiji Hall'.

...

The old man Qin Shu with a goat beard, the deputy head of Baiji Hall, has the cultivation level of the initial stage of foundation building.

Almost every time he came to Baiji Hall, Yang Che could see Uncle Qin handling various affairs in an orderly manner.

Yang Che was very curious, does Uncle Qin not need to practice?

After Qin Shu finished handling the affairs of other disciples, Yang Che stepped forward, bowed, and explained his purpose to Qin Shu.

Qin Shu stroked his goat beard and said slowly: "Yang Che, it's not that Uncle Shi doesn't think highly of you. There are nearly 10,000 Qi Refining disciples in this valley, and there are also hundreds of people who have just advanced to the eleventh level and signed up for this Foundation Building Pill competition, but there are only fifty Foundation Building Pills."

"Although you can participate if you have reached the eleventh level of Qi Refining, this is mostly a competition between the twelfth level of Qi Refining. You have just broken through the eleventh level of Qi Refining, and even if you sign up, you don't have much hope of winning the Foundation Building Pill. I think you might as well practice hard to sprint to the twelfth level, and then participate in the next Foundation Building Pill competition."

Yang Che actually knew that Uncle Shi Qin made sense.

However, he already knew that every Qi Refining disciple in Wulong Valley had two opportunities to participate in the Foundation Building Pill competition.

One is unconditional participation, as long as the cultivation level reaches the eleventh level.

The other extra opportunity needs to be exchanged with a certain amount of sect contribution points, and this contribution value is also a huge number.

Of course, if a disciple like Wen Xingyao has made great contributions to the sect, he can directly get an extra foundation-building pill.

Yang Che is well aware of the special nature of his immortal roots. He has already made a "great wish". If one foundation-building pill is not enough, then use two, if two are not enough, then use five, if five are not enough, then use ten... or even a hundred.

So he will never miss any chance to get a foundation-building pill.

So, this time and the next time, he will participate.

"Uncle Master, please help me register. The earlier you build your foundation, the more beneficial it will be for future practice, so I am ready to go all out to compete."

Yang Che's expression was extremely firm.

Qin Shu naturally couldn't persuade him anymore. After helping Yang Che register, he handed him a small token and said, "This time you will participate unconditionally. After two and a half months, remember to go to the sect's "Martial Arts Hall" in advance."

"Thank you, Uncle Master Qin."

...

Yang Che walked out of the Baiji Hall and went to the library by the way.

Uncle Feng Qing, who was in charge of the library, was a thin middle-aged scholar.

Yang Che only found out later that Uncle Feng Qing and Uncle Sun An from the Spiritual Medicine Garden were the two most famous money-grubbers in Wulong Valley.

"Meet Uncle Feng."

Yang Che bowed and took out two low-grade spirit stones and handed them over skillfully.

Feng Qing smiled brightly.

He had a great impression of the young man in front of him.

After the young man had read all the free books, he would go to the upper floor, where the fees were not low, and stay there for several hours at regular intervals.

This kind of disciple was the one Feng Qing was most willing to receive.

Yang Che walked into the library and came to the last floor.

He had almost read all the scrolls of the books here, but he still had no clue about the legendary 'Tian En'.

"Do I really have to go find 'Master Mu'?"

Yang Che smiled bitterly in his heart.

After staying on the last floor of the library for an hour, Yang Che went downstairs disappointed.

Although he still hadn't found any records related to 'Tian's Grace', he did find a broken dark attribute technique and a complete thunder attribute technique on this last level.

After paying the spirit stones to copy the technique, Yang Che went to the market again and bought some common materials for soaking in liquid medicine, and at the same time gathered two sets of medicinal materials for refining 'Pseudo Tyrant Pills'.

He originally had more than 2,500 spiritual stones. After purchasing these two pseudo-tyrant pills, he spent nearly 2,000 spiritual stones. In addition to the previous purchases and copying of the exercises, he now only has more than 100 spiritual stones.

In addition to feeling extremely painful every time, Yang Che has become accustomed to this.

Cultivating immortals is against the will of heaven. Without spiritual stones, it is impossible to move forward.

After leaving the market, Yang Che prepared to return to Tongyou Cave and start preparing for the battle for the foundation-building pill in two and a half months.

As soon as he stepped into Longxi Mountain, Yang Che suddenly felt goosebumps and his heart skipped a beat.

Yang Che, who noticed something was wrong, immediately flew backwards.

However, a sickly female cultivator appeared lightly and blocked his way.

The woman was wearing a dark red robe, with an eye-catching jade belt tied around her waist, and her face was faintly pale.

It was the female cultivator in the foundation-building period who seemed to be tracking in the market.

Yang Che saw at a glance that the woman seemed to have been poisoned, and the poison was not yet cleared.

After realizing this, Yang Che immediately put a Qingxin Pill under his tongue without hesitation.

Then he said calmly: "Disciple greets Uncle Master. I wonder why Uncle Master stopped me?"

The woman snorted twice, and an extremely cold light appeared in her eyes: "You dare to kill Liu Yuan? Do you know that he is my disciple Liu Hanyan?"

Yang Che immediately said in a daze: "Uncle Master Liu, who is Liu Yuan?"

He had made up his mind in his heart that no matter how Liu Hanyan threatened him, he would never admit it. Otherwise, his life would be in danger.

Liu Hanyan didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand and condensed it.

Yang Che suddenly felt a chill under his feet, so he had to jump into the air.

"Thump, thump, thump."

Dozens of long blue ice cones with green mist emerged from the ground like poisonous snakes, almost piercing Yang Che's crotch.

However, just as he jumped into the air, two groups of ‘green mist’ flew from both sides, too fast.

Yang Che had no time to dodge and was hit.

With a surge of blood and energy, Yang Che flipped several times in the air, barely landed, and ran wildly into the dense forest without looking back.

At this moment, his heart was pounding, and cold sweat covered the back of his palms.

The foundation-building cultivator was too scary.

Two random spells almost took his life.

“What should I do?”

Yang Che ran away frantically, but he couldn’t think of any way.
