"Uncle Xu, it's only 30,000 contribution points, which is nothing to you. I heard that you got nearly 100,000 contribution points since you came out of Ozawa realm, and later the sect leader rewarded you with another 100,000 points."
Wei Dawu looked pleading, "After I build the foundation, these 30,000 contribution points will be returned to you. I am willing to swear with my Taoist heart that I will pay you back after I build the foundation."
"If you fail to build the foundation, what will you get in return?"
Xu Chunniang was unmoved. If Wei Dawu failed to build the foundation, who would she ask for the 30,000 contribution points?
Wei Dawu's expression changed. If he failed to build the foundation, he would die. Xu Chunniang was cursing him.
He suppressed the discomfort in his heart and forced out a smile, "It won't fail. Maybe I can succeed with just one Foundation Establishment Pill."
Xu Chunniang nodded slightly, "Since you can succeed with just one, there is no need to ask me to borrow it."
Hearing this, Wei Dawu could no longer suppress his unhappiness.
He went to Xu Chunniang and begged her politely and humbly, but she was so disrespectful and didn't care about the friendship in the past.
"Xu Chunniang, let me ask you one last time, do you really not want to borrow it?"
Xu Chunniang was indifferent. Since the two had fallen out with each other a long time ago, they were already strangers.
If it were her today who approached Wei Dawu to borrow these 30,000 contribution points, would he agree?
"You've asked a hundred times, and I've given the same answer: I won't borrow it."
"good very good."
Wei Dawu was so angry that he laughed back, "I have taken care of you so many times in vain. You are really an ungrateful white-eyed wolf!"
Xu Chunniang's eyes suddenly turned cold, and her consciousness moved towards where Wei Dawu was.
Wei Dawu's body swayed, and under the pressure of his spiritual consciousness, he staggered back a few steps before barely keeping his figure from falling.
At the same time, large drops of sweat broke out on his forehead, and his face turned purple.
After a few breaths, Xu Chunniang withdrew her consciousness and looked calm.
"You will reap what you sow. Everything today was created by you. Since you bow to reality, you must face reality."
Wei Dawu clenched his fists, no matter how dissatisfied he felt, he did not dare to say another word.
Xu Chunniang is no longer the little outer disciple she was back then.
After riding the paper crane back to Qifeng from Xiaowushan, Wei Dawu held his breath in his heart.
Even if he borrowed or sold the spiritual weapons, he still had to make up the 30,000 contribution points.
After building the foundation, he will definitely avenge this humiliation.
Ten days later, Wei Dawu scraped together and managed to save 20,000 contribution points. He was only short of the last 10,000 points in exchange for the Foundation Establishment Pill.
A faint smile appeared on his face. Xie Lian still had more than 10,000 contribution points. As long as he opened his mouth, Xie Lian would not dare to refuse.
Knowing that Wei Dawu wanted to borrow 10,000 contribution points to purchase the Foundation Establishment Pill, Xie Lian was actually reluctant.
Although Wei Dawu is a disciple of the Twin Spiritual Roots, foundation building is dangerous and difficult. Even with three foundation building pills, success is not 100% possible.
Besides, Wei Dawu is only eligible to redeem three Foundation Establishment Pills in total. If he eats all the Foundation Establishment Pills himself, what will she do in the future?
Isn't it just for the Foundation Establishment Pill that she gave up her status as an outer disciple and followed Wei Dawu?
It took her nearly thirty years to save these contribution points.
Life as a retinue was not easy. Half of the contribution points she earned were given to Wei Dawu, and the rest belonged to her.
Seeing Xie Lian's resistance, the smile on Wei Dawu's face faded.
"The sect has very strict control over the Foundation Establishment Pills. The inner disciples are only eligible to exchange for these three Foundation Establishment Pills when they are in the Qi training period. In other words, after I establish the Foundation, I automatically lose the exchange
Qualifications for Foundation Establishment Pill."
Xie Lian quickly thought of this and felt helpless.
She was afraid that after lending it out, she would never have the chance to get it back. But if she didn't lend it out, she would also have no chance of building a foundation.
This was a huge bet. The bet was that Wei Dawu could successfully build the foundation and use no more than two foundation-building pills.
If you win the bet, everyone is happy, but if you lose the bet, everyone loses.
But this is the sect's regulations. They are supposed to be followers to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, which is opportunistic and they naturally have to bear the corresponding risks.
After weighing the situation, Xie Lian gritted his teeth and decided to lend all his contribution points to Wei Dawu.
Her opportunity to build a foundation has long been firmly bound to him. She should have thought of this day when she chose to become a retinue.
Wei Dawu smiled slightly, "I know your concerns, but don't worry, I will build the foundation smoothly. I have dual spiritual roots. Generally speaking, I only need one or two foundation building pills to succeed."
Xie Lian nodded. At this point, she had no choice but to believe in Wei Dawu and silently pray that everything went well for him.
After successfully borrowing 10,000 contribution points from Xie Lian, Wei Dawu went directly to exchange for the third Foundation Establishment Pill without further delay.
After doing all this, he did not retreat immediately, but paid a visit to his master, Master Zhao Xuanqi.
"Master, I have prepared three foundation-building pills and will be preparing to build the foundation soon."
Zhao Xuanqi raised his eyes and looked at the disciple in front of him, "I heard that a few days ago, you went around borrowing contribution points from people? Is it for this third Foundation Establishment Pill?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Wei Dawu's face, "This disciple is incompetent. He only built the foundation because he thought he was fully prepared, which makes the master laugh."
Zhao Xuanqi shook his head slightly, "You have good intentions, but foundation building is the first life and death disaster for monks. If you can overcome everything, it's hard to say. If you can't overcome it, the debts you will owe..."
"Master, don't worry, the disciple will build the foundation smoothly."
Zhao Xuanqi was silent for a long time.
Wei Dawu, who has the spiritual roots of gold and fire, is a good material for weapon training, so he took him under his sect out of love for talents.
But I don’t know since when, this young disciple of his became realistic and snobbish, and lost his simple and calm original intention of cultivating Taoism.
It’s not that snobbishness in reality is bad, it’s just that if you practice Taoism and cultivate your mind, if you deviate from your original intention, your inner demons will take advantage of it.
I don’t know if he can successfully overcome this foundation-building barrier.
"The so-called foundation building means that the nine-story platform starts from tired soil. If you want to go further in the foundation building period, you need to polish the platform well. This is all I have to say, and I hope everything goes well for you."
"Disciples should remember Master's teachings."
Wei Dawu's eyes were slightly moist, he kowtowed three times to his master solemnly, and returned to his residence.
He arranged the spirit gathering array and other formations, and then began to meditate.
But after meditating for several days, I didn't feel any opportunity to build the foundation. It was as if there was a deep barrier that firmly separated Qi training and foundation building.
Wei Dawu didn't panic, knowing that this was just a bottleneck.
He picked up the elixir bottle that had been prepared nearby and poured out a round elixir from it.
The elixir is black in color and looks ordinary. From time to time, a strange fragrance comes out, which makes people salivate and want to swallow it.
He took a deep breath and swallowed the Foundation Establishment Pill in one gulp.
