Xiangming Tower seemed to have been scrubbed inside and out, so clean that it even shone.
Many qi-training monks gathered in front of the Xiangming Tower. Compared with ordinary days, they were obviously dressed up specially. They were not flashy, but they were all beaming with joy.
These people are all regular customers of Xiangminglou, even if they were just friendly and nodding acquaintances in the past.
When we gather here today, everyone takes the initiative to chat with each other.
"Xiangminglou is not open today, why did you come here today?"
"Participating in the celebration of a senior foundation builder, how about you?"
"Ah, what a coincidence, me too!"
"I've long thought that Senior Meng's real face is hidden!"
"You know him well?"
"Yes, we are friends who have eaten melon at the same table and drank a pot of tea together!"
"..."
These people walked slowly inside while chatting.
Shopkeeper Lu led several waiters at the door to greet and guide.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Shopkeeper Lu looked up, paused for a moment, then quickly strode forward to greet him.
I saw three figures walking towards this side talking and laughing. It was like there was an invisible force field around them. As they moved, the crowd around them automatically created an obstacle-free passage.
Shopkeeper Lu came to the three of them and was about to greet them respectfully, but all he saw was a blur in front of his eyes. A figure had appeared in front of him. This person was naturally Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou, who was waiting in the building, was shocked when he saw the three people coming hand in hand, but he immediately came out of the building to greet them.
With only a slight exertion on his feet, his body looked like a fish swimming in the water.
In his own opinion, with just a slight slip, he arrived first and appeared in front of shopkeeper Lu.
In the eyes of other qi-training monks, except Shopkeeper Lu, he was slightly dazzled.
None of the other monks noticed anything strange. It felt like there was no one in front of Shopkeeper Lu just a moment ago.
In the blink of an eye, a calm and calm figure appeared.
And in the eyes of the three new foundation builders who came together, they could barely see an afterimage passing by.
Before they even reacted, a figure stood not far in front of them, smiling and greeting them.
The three of them felt awe in their hearts, and they all felt that this newly promoted fellow Taoist Meng was not simple.
Regardless of what they had previously thought, they have now quietly adjusted their strategies in their hearts.
Meng Zhou showed off his skills to prove that he, a newcomer, was not a parallel import.
However, his expression didn't show any signs of it, and he cupped his fists and raised his hands to the two male cultivators standing on the left and right.
"Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Qu, thank you both for being able to honor me and participate in this small celebration of foundation building."
Luo Ping and Qu Jing, two newly promoted foundation builders, returned the favor and congratulated Meng Zhou on his success in foundation building.
After greeting the two planned guests, Meng Zhou looked at the beautiful figure standing between the two, faintly in the center of the three, smiling slightly at him.
There was a doubtful look in his eyes:
"I wonder what I call this fellow Taoist?"
In fact, when Meng Zhou, who was waiting in Xiangming Tower, saw these three people arriving together, he didn't pay much attention to the two planned visitors, Luo Ping and Qu Jing. He focused almost all of his attention on them.
On the woman walking between the two.
What attracted him was not her appearance and temperament that were far beyond ordinary female cultivators, but the fact that she was an old acquaintance, Xu Wanzhen.
When he saw her appearing on such an occasion and walking with two other new male foundation-building cultivators, Meng Zhou felt quite agitated.
From this point of view, she did not really follow the advice of Jing Hao, an inner disciple of Qingxuan Sect.
At that time, Jing Hao revealed to her that Qingxuan Sect would keep selling Foundation Establishment Pills until the price of ordinary Foundation Establishment Pills dropped below 12,000 low-grade spiritual stones.
And in the auction that he just watched a few days ago, the cheapest ordinary foundation-building pill also sold for a high price of 168 medium-grade spiritual stones.
Of course, it makes sense for her to do this, and even Jing Hao himself would not doubt her.
The sooner you build a foundation, the sooner you can enjoy a series of dividends brought by higher status, status and stronger strength. Compared with this, it is worth paying dozens more middle-grade spiritual stones.
But for Meng Zhou, who knew her background well, there was a kind of surprise that others didn't know.
Last year, on the recommendation of "Hu Cai", she came to Nuanyun Valley to seek medical consultation from her, and he thoroughly checked her internal condition.
At that time, she was still at the eighth level of qi training. She was troubled by various foreign qi in her body, and her cultivation was stagnant.
The last time we met, she was already at the ninth level of Qi training.
Not only did he get close to Jing Hao, an inner disciple of Qingxuan Sect, but he also got a lot of important information from him.
He then took the opportunity to backstab Meixianglou's "Mother Yun", a foundation-building monk who appeared to be in love with the old madam, but secretly had a dangerous identity.
Now, meeting her for the third time, she has actually transformed into a new Foundation Builder.
It has only been less than half a year since I took good care of her body and continued to make progress. Now, I am fully prepared.
She first completed the breakthrough from the eighth level to the ninth level of Qi training, and then completed the leap from the Qi training realm to the foundation building realm.
Such an exaggerated growth rate has almost caught up with him.
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart moved, and he had a new understanding of her reporting the backstabbing of "Mama Yun".
As Meixianglou's money maker, "Yun's mother" should know her situation very well, which can be confirmed by "Hu Cai" recommending her to come to Nuanyun Valley to see a doctor.
From the perspective of "Mama Yun", it is understandable that after the disease was cured, Xu Wanzhen made a breakthrough from the eighth level of Qi training to the ninth level of Qi training.
But if Xu Wanzhen breaks through from the ninth level of Qi training to the realm of foundation building in a short period of time, it will be completely incomprehensible!
Therefore, unless "Mother Yun" dies, Xu Wanzhen will not dare to break through at all!
Thinking of this, Meng Zhou's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The person who knows her physical condition best, apart from herself, is "Pharmacist Zhou" who has carefully examined her.
Perhaps even more thorough than her own understanding!
"This little girl, isn't she also thinking about silencing 'Pharmacist Zhou'?"
Naturally, Xu Wanzhen didn't know that the completely unfamiliar newcomer Zhu Ji in front of her was conducting a careful "anatomy" of her in her heart that was almost touching her soul, opening up her beautiful skin and exploring it over and over again.
If she had known, she would probably never have such a beautiful, fairy-like smile again.
She took a step forward, bowed to Meng Zhou and said:
"I have a pure and graceful body. I heard from Taoist friends Luo and Qu that Fellow Taoist Meng had successfully built the foundation, so I came here uninvited.
Although it was only a sudden appearance, the physical skills that fellow Taoist revealed just now are really heartbreaking!"
Having said this, she stared at Meng Zhou with longing eyes, implying a hint of the instinctive admiration of female creatures for powerful males.
For a moment, Meng Zhou found that he was actually a little moved.
This frightened him so much that he quickly thought about pink skulls and snakes and scorpions to suppress the lingering thoughts that had just arisen in his heart.
"awesome!"
Meng Zhou secretly shouted in his heart and guided the three of them into the building.
An unusually silent confrontation took place under the noses of Luo and Qu, two newly promoted foundation builders. However, the two of them were completely unaware and entered the Xiangming Pavilion with Meng Zhou while chatting and laughing.
Xu Wanzhen, who had once again raised her evaluation of "Fellow Daoist Meng", would cast her beautiful eyes on Meng Zhou from time to time without any concealment.
Regarding this, Meng Zhou felt a little helpless.
Is this a privilege of a beautiful female nun?!
If the identities were reversed and a male cultivator stared at a beautiful female cultivator, everyone would think that this male cultivator lacks basic courtesy.
But if a beautiful female cultivator does this, everyone will only think that she is natural, straightforward, real and lovely.
Meng Zhou guided the three of them into a room that had been arranged by shopkeeper Lu in advance. There was a formation to isolate the inside and outside.
After entering, the noise outside was blocked out. Only shopkeeper Lu was responsible for the Qi-training monks who came to join in the fun, and Meng Zhou didn't need to worry about it.
For Meng Zhou, the only purpose of this Foundation Establishment celebration is to take the opportunity to get to know a few more Foundation Establishment colleagues.
In the room, shopkeeper Lu prepared a lot of tea and snacks.
With only a brief glance, Meng Zhou knew that this was "copied" from Hexinlou. The variety and style were the same as those he had tasted at Hexinlou a few days ago, and the weight was even larger.
Although this actually showed the shabby nature of Xiaoqing, Meng Zhou was not dissatisfied. Instead, he secretly praised that shopkeeper Lu had indeed taken the trouble.
Meng Zhou guided the three of them to sit down, looked at Xu Wanzhen, and asked: "Fairy Qingwan also completed the foundation building in Hexin Tower recently?"
Xu Wanzhen smiled softly and said, "Young Daoist Meng, you still don't know that I already have a fate with you, right?"
"What fate have we had?"
Little girl, don’t taint others’ innocence. When did I have a fate with you?!
Meng Zhou thought to himself, did she remember that she had sat next to him?
The first time I went to the Hexinlou auction, I happened to meet Xu Wanzhen hooking up with Jing Hao, an inner disciple of the Qingxuan Sect. Meng Zhou used this identity.
Although Xu Wanzhen's thoughts were all on Jing Hao and the auction at that time, she didn't pay any attention to him, a stranger.
But some people just have a talent. They can remember a passerby who they passed by in their long-term memory if they meet again.
Meng Zhou was thinking this, but Luo Ping next to him took the initiative to explain for Xu Wanzhen:
"Friend Dao Meng doesn't know that Fairy Qingwan also bought a Foundation Building Pill in the middle of last month, and then entered the Hexin Tower quiet room for retreat.
The matter with you is just a little bit later than you.
And she came out of quarantine earlier than you, so you don’t know about it.”
Meng Zhou suddenly nodded, "So, we are really destined."
But I was very curious in my heart, did Xu Wanzhen use the Foundation Establishment Pill to clear the barrier?
Or are you just like yourself, just using the Foundation Establishment Pill as a cover?
If it's the latter, then the secret behind this little girl's skin is no smaller than that of "Mama Yun", "Hu Cai", and "Hu Gui".
But if it was the former, Meng Zhou would not look down on the other party, and would even look at him with a higher regard.
Because this means that Xu Wanzhen's background is most likely not as complicated as she thought, but an inspiring story of a real chicken slowly transforming into a dark phoenix.
Qu Jing nodded in agreement: "We can build a successful foundation together in this opportunity. Isn't it a fate?"
"good."
"yes."
"Um."
The three of them all nodded in approval.
Then, Qu Jing naturally extended the topic to a related matter. He looked at Meng Zhou and asked:
"Fellow Daoist Meng, have you met the owner of Hexin Building after you came out of confinement?"
Meng Zhou nodded: "I've seen it."
"Did she say anything to you?"
The eyes and expressions of the three people had switched from casual chat mode to serious mode. Meng Zhou nodded in his heart, and his previous guess was confirmed.
Like themselves, they all want to communicate on that issue in advance.
In this case, Meng Zhou might as well be more honest and take the initiative to explain:
"In addition to some encouragement, she also invited me to attend an exchange meeting on April 9th."
Having said this, he paused, and under the burning gazes of the three people, he revealed the most important information:
“She also encouraged me to perform well in meetings and not hide my clumsiness.
He said that if I perform well, I can go to the Qingxuan Sect’s Sutra Collection Building to choose a technique!”
Without asking, Meng Zhou took the initiative to explain everything clearly, and the three people looked at him with more approval.
Luo Ping asked: "Fellow Daoist Meng, what do you think of this matter?"
"What do you think?" Meng Zhou was confused.
"It's this exchange meeting. To be honest, all three of us received the same invitation at the end of last month.
Shopkeeper Lu came to deliver invitations before, and Daoyou Qu and I were discussing the matter.
Fairy Qingwan was also present at that time, so she decided to come and have a look together."
"Oh, that's it." Meng Zhou nodded.
But it was a little funny in his heart. Did Luo Ping mean something to "Fairy Qingwan"?
He, the person involved, did not take the ambiguous words that people deliberately said to him seriously, but he, the third party, took them to heart and took the initiative to help "clarify" them when he had the opportunity.
Thinking of the vicious tricks hidden under the beautiful skin of "Fairy Qingwan", Meng Zhou silently mourned for this man for a second.
"I hope you will have a happy death in the future."
Seeing that Meng Zhou was silent towards him, Luo Ping reminded him: "You haven't answered me yet."
"Oh." Meng Zhou came back to his senses and said, "Sorry, I just thought of something else and got distracted... What do I think? Of course I have to go all out!"
"Really?" Luo Ping asked as if he didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true." Meng Zhou nodded heavily.
Meng Zhou decided to tell the truth, "I don't know what your situation is.
Anyway, since the foundation building, I don’t even have a usable practice method. I am worried about where to find a suitable foundation building method.
Hexinlou... No, this matter can only be led by Qingxuanzong.
Qingxuanzong can lend a helping hand at this time, but if I can't hold on tightly, wouldn't I be a fool?"
Qu Jing asked in a deep voice: "Aren't you worried that Qingxuanzong has other plans behind this?"
Meng Zhou said indifferently:
"What am I worried about? If Qingxuanzong really takes a fancy to my hundred-pound body, can I still resist?
If Qingxuanzong really had any bad intentions, wouldn't it be easier to take action directly?
Do you need to put so much thought into us?"
The three of them were awestruck by his sudden bachelor attitude. They all stared at him with wide eyes and surprise.
"In front of Qingxuanzong, who are we?"
“We have struggled all the way until now, and finally succeeded in building the foundation. In our opinion, it is indeed a major transformation.
But in the eyes of Qingxuanzong, is it really as important as we think?"
The three of them were thoughtful.
"No one knows which auction items were sent by other forces and which items were paid for by Qingxuanzong himself, except He Xinlou himself.
But I can be sure that those Foundation Building Pills can only come from Qingxuan Sect!"
The three of them nodded silently.
Although most monks choose to use the Foundation-Building Pill in Hexin Tower after acquiring the Foundation-Building Pill, there are also some who are confident in their own strength and choose to take the Foundation-Building Pill.
Someone once appraised the Foundation Establishment Pills that were taken away and confirmed that the quality of these Foundation Establishment Pills was very stable.
And the materials for refining those foundation-building pills are all the same.
There is more than one recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill, because it is difficult to get the exact same ingredients for different spiritual veins.
Everyone in Alchemy will adjust the ingredients of elixirs according to the conditions in different places, based on the principle of being nearest and easiest to obtain.
Therefore, for the same Foundation Building Pill, in addition to its core function remaining unchanged, its external performance is diverse.
The quality of the foundation-building elixirs sold in large quantities by Hexinlou is stable and consistent, and the elixir ingredients used are of the same type. This means that the raw materials for these elixirs are produced in the same spiritual place, and the elixirs are made by the same group of people.
After knowing this, the origin of these foundation-building pills is naturally not difficult to guess at all.
Looking at the entire Qingxuan Domain, apart from the Qingxuan Sect, which other force has such strength and foundation?
If it really exists, would you dare to auction it under the nose of Qingxuanzong?
I don’t want to live anymore!
"How many foundation-building pills have been auctioned in Hexin Tower these days?"
"If there's not a hundred, there's also eighty!"
Having said this, Meng Zhou paused for a moment, and the other three people also said nothing.
Luo Ping, Qu Jing and others pursed their lips tightly, and Xu Wanzhen also looked solemn.
"Is foundation building really a thing for Qingxuan Sect?"
Meng Zhou let out a long breath.
"So, what am I afraid of?!"
Meng Zhou stopped talking. Instead, he washed the cups and slowly poured tea for the three of them one by one.
Finally, he raised his head and drank the cup. Looking at his posture, he didn't drink it like tea, but wine.
Luo Ping and Qu Jing suddenly looked at each other, and then nodded heavily.
Meng Zhou asked: "What regulations do you have?"
Qu Jing said: "Friend Meng, actually we have always had some doubts about this matter.
But since you and Fairy Qingwan both have the same attitude, then we will risk our lives!"
Meng Zhou was surprised: "Fairy Qingwan has the same idea as me?"
Qu Jing nodded: "Yes, it was she who was lobbying us before..."
Having said this, he first looked at Xu Wanzhen, saw her nodding slightly, then looked at Meng Zhou and said:
"Fairy Qingwan actually has a plan, and I think Fellow Daoist Meng will definitely be interested in it!"
Meng Zhou looked at the three of them, and finally landed on Xu Wanzhen, and asked curiously: "What's the plan?"
Xu Wanzhen said: "Friend Meng, I just heard you say that I don't know where to find a useful foundation-building technique.
I think this is not only a problem for you, but also a problem for many fellow Taoist practitioners in the community today."
"Including the auction a few days ago, Hexinlou sold a total of seventy-eight Foundation Establishment Pills.
Among them, 63 people chose to retreat in Hexin Building to build foundations, and 47 people successfully built foundations.
Among them, five people are from medium-sized forces, and eleven people are from small- and medium-sized forces..."
Speaking of this, Xu Wanzhen explained to Meng Zhou:
"This is a standard I set for the various forces in the Qingxuan Domain. I don't care if they are a cultivating family, a gang, a chamber of commerce, or any other organization. I only look at their strength.
There are neither foundation-building monks in charge, nor second-level cultivation methods to inherit. The forces that only have Qi training in charge are all small;
Although there is no foundation building to sit in charge, there is a second-level cultivation method inheritance, and there are many forces in the late stage of Qi training, which are small and medium-sized;
It has the power to build foundations and inherit the second-level cultivation method, so it is medium-sized.
There is a third-level cultivation method inheritance, and there is a fake elixir-based force, which is a large one.
Like the Mo family in Emerald Lake, which has both the inheritance of third-level cultivation methods and the power to form an elixir, it is a very large one."
After hearing her explanation, Meng Zhou nodded in understanding. After she said this, it became much clearer.
"What about Qingxuanzong? What level did you give it?"
Xu Wanzhen shook her head: "I am not qualified to grade Qingxuan Sect... Let's go back to the topic just now."
She went on to introduce some of the information she had gathered.
"Qingxuanzong has sold a total of seventy-eight Foundation Establishment Pills so far.
Fifteen high-quality elixirs were taken away. As far as I know, those were either forces with fake elixirs in charge, or forces with multiple foundation builders and powerful foundation builders still alive in the late stages.
Only they have the confidence to bring high-quality pills out of Hexin Tower without worrying about being coveted by others.
Sixty-three people chose to take the Danchong Pass in Hexin Building, 47 people succeeded and 16 people failed.
Among the forty-seven people who succeeded, five of them came from weak medium-sized forces. Although they had established foundations and were in charge, they were either weak in strength, had few people, or were old and unfit to fight, and were unable to take on the challenge;
There are eleven people from small and medium-sized forces, nineteen from small forces, and twelve from casual cultivators like you and me."
Meng Zhou nodded slowly. After hearing what she said, Meng Zhou, who knew nothing about the situation, suddenly had a clear understanding.
He couldn't help but take another serious look at Xu Wanzhen. The first impression everyone had of her was her stunning beauty.
And she is indeed good at using it as a weapon, and it is very sharp and deadly.
But in fact, her ability to do things is not at all inferior to her appearance, and even exceeds it.
If others are fascinated by her appearance when getting along with her and ignore this point, they are likely to fall into her net.
"Now, a total of forty-seven people have received invitations from Hexin Tower..."
Before Xu Wanzhen finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by Meng Zhou: "Wait a minute... The host Hexin said that this exchange meeting was specially prepared for casual practitioners. Isn't that twelve people? Why did it become forty-seven people?"
Xu Wanzhen said: "Fellow Daoist Meng, in the eyes of Qingxuanzong, what is the difference between foundation-building monks who come from small forces and casual foundation-building monks like us?"
"Ah?" Meng Zhou opened his mouth when he heard this. It seemed, it seemed... there wasn't much difference.
"Didn't you also say that in the eyes of Qingxuanzong, how much weight does foundation building really have?
Then what is the difference between the strongest medium-sized forces that are based on foundation building and the small forces that are only based on Qi training?"
It seems, it seems, that’s the truth. Meng Zhou thought to himself.
"Didn't the Cuiyu Lake Fairy City project clearly express Qingxuan Sect's attitude?
Only those forces with fake elixirs can make them take a second look;
Only forces like the Mo family that have real core formation are qualified to be taken seriously.
Apart from these two, how do other forces differ from casual cultivators in their eyes?"
Meng Zhouyi thought, indeed, if someone like him is a casual cultivator wherever he goes, there is nothing wrong with him;
But for example, those monks who come from the so-called "big forces" in Nuanyun Valley, when they come to Qinglinfang, they only dare to call themselves casual cultivators and never dare to say that they have a powerful force behind them.
In the eyes of Qingxuan Sect, looking at the entire Qingxuan Territory, most of them are casual cultivators.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Meng Zhou nodded and said to Xu Wanzhen: "Fairy, please continue!"
"The invitations from Hexin Tower have been sent out, and such a promise has been made.
What we need to consider now is not to question its intentions.
Just as Fellow Daoist Meng said, no matter what Qingxuan Sect’s plan is, it is unlikely that it is to plot against us!”
Indeed, people are focusing on the future of the Fairy City of Jade Lake. We are worried too much and are really being pretentious and adding drama to ourselves.
However, if I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, who would have imagined it?
"What we really need to consider is how to maximize the value of this matter!" Xu Wanzhen said.
"Maximizing value?" Meng Zhou thought for a while, looked at Xu Wanzhen, and asked for advice: "What does the fairy think?"
Xu Wanzhen said slowly: "If I could enter the Sutra Library, I would not be willing to choose only one suitable foundation-building practice method.
For such a rare opportunity, wouldn’t it be a waste if we only choose one foundation-building practice method?”
"Then how can we not waste it?"
"Of course you have to choose a secret soul refining method!" Xu Wanzhen affirmed.
Meng Zhouyi was startled, then nodded heavily.
Indeed, compared to the cultivation methods that enhance mana, soul cultivation methods are more difficult to obtain.
Because the method of soul cultivation can only be carried by inheritance jade slips, and because of its characteristics, what is inherited is the artistic conception image, not the text.
Moreover, such inheritance jade slips can only be used once. If the user absorbs the true meaning, the inheritance jade slips will become waste.
For these reasons, its spread has been greatly restricted.
The strength of the soul is the key to whether a foundation-building monk can successfully form a pill!
If the difficulty of finding a cultivation method is rated as "one", then the difficulty of finding a soul-refining secret method is at least "ten", and there is no guarantee that it has not been tampered with, and there are hidden fatal risks.
The soul is far more fragile than the body.
Meng Zhou has the best say in this regard. If the body is exhausted through training, there is still the possibility of starting over. If the soul is exhausted through training, it will be completely destroyed.
All the Kung Fu books in the Sutra Library were prepared by Qingxuan Sect for his own disciples. It is impossible to dig a trap for yourself. Everyone who can enter it has been checked and checked again and again.
I dare not say anything else, but in terms of safety, looking at the entire Qingxuan Territory, it is definitely second to none.
When these factors are combined, if you have the opportunity to enter the Sutra Library and only have one choice, the secret method of soul refining is indeed the best choice!
It’s true that after passing this village, this store is gone!
However, the practice method is the foundation of building the foundation of practice.
These new Foundation Establishers must first steadily improve their cultivation step by step from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, the peak of Foundation Establishment, before they are qualified to consider whether they can form elixirs.
Before that, let’s finish the journey first.
Xu Wanzhen seemed to already know what Meng Zhou was thinking, and this was the trade-off that a new foundation builder should have.
And since she chose this time and place to expose this matter, she already had some calculations in her mind.
"Fellow Daoist Meng, I believe that I am not the only one who thinks this way!"
Meng Zhou's eyes suddenly brightened.
He is not a stupid person, he just hasn't thought in this direction before.
At this moment, Xu Wanzhen has carefully explained the joints to him. If he still can't see through the key points, he will really be a time traveler in vain!
Meng Zhou sat upright and asked solemnly: "What do you want to do? What do you need me to do?"
"I would like to get everyone together in advance before the exchange meeting officially begins.
In the eyes of Qingxuan Sect, we are all casual cultivators, but there are quite a few who have the inheritance of second-level cultivation methods!
As long as we can reach a private deal with them in advance and obtain the second-level practice method.
Wouldn’t that mean that you no longer have any worries and can concentrate on planning the secret method of soul refining?”
"Is this feasible? We are in a competitive relationship with others, so why should they use their own second-level cultivation methods to trade with us?"
Xu Wanzhen said:
"Just because we successfully built the foundation, although we don't have the second-level practice method, both the experience of building the foundation and the practice methods used in the Qi training stage are valuable!
Just because they have second-level inheritance doesn't mean it's useless to them!
In fact, those forces with second-level inheritance place a higher value on this knowledge than you and I can understand.
Because we are all alone, with no family members, no disciples, and no responsibilities.
But those forces with second-level inheritance are different. They must consider collecting more knowledge that can allow Qi Practitioners to advance to Foundation Establishment.
A second-level cultivation method cannot conquer the world.
Second-level inheritance is important, but this kind of knowledge is equally important to them!"
"Of course, the value of the two is not equal, but there are so many of us!
There are twelve pure casual cultivators like us, and nineteen small forces who also lack the second-level inheritance, which adds up to thirty-one!
If we can share our respective experiences and insights and put them together, do you dare to say that those forces with second-level inheritance will not be moved?"
Meng Zhou has completely understood Xu Wanzhen's plan. She wants to unite all the casual cultivators who have a strong need for the second-level practice method, bind everyone's foundation-building experience into a large collection, and use this as a basis.
Use chips to break through the defenses of those with second-level inheritance powers.
It is true that the experience notes of a casual cultivator who successfully built the foundation cannot be compared with a second-level cultivation method, but what about twenty or thirty together?
Meng Zhouqing said that he encouraged Chu Zheng to collect various foundation-building related knowledge when he was in Nuanyun Valley:
"If a force wants to last long, it must continue to provide value to those talented disciples and prove its usefulness.
Otherwise, if their wings become stiff, they will fly away without hesitation!"
This reason is also common to other forces.
As long as there is a force with a second-level inheritance that is moved, then the second and third ones will follow.
In the end, there is no need for them to lobby, others will take the initiative to seek cooperation!
In this case...
Meng Zhou nodded, and first gave Xu Wanzhen a reassurance:
"Okay, give me the next two days to sort it out first, and then write a note of my experience for you.
Guaranteed to be full of useful information, all of which are my true insights during the foundation building process!"
Xu Wanzhen said with great joy: "More support from fellow Taoist Meng!"
Then, she turned to look at Luo Qu and Luo Qu beside her.
What could the two of them say? Of course they both nodded and said that they would hand over a note full of useful foundation building experience to her within two days for her to put it into operation.
Xu Wanzhen said with great joy:
"With your support, it will be much easier for me to convince other fellow Taoists!
If more people can join me, then..."
As she spoke, her eyes swept over the three of them, and finally landed on Meng Zhou intentionally or unintentionally.
You want me to be a strong man and carry your bags and run errands for you!
Meng Zhou immediately understood what she wanted to do, and just as he was thinking about how to refuse, Luo Ping already said:
"I happen to have nothing to do during this time, so just let me accompany you!"
Seeing that Meng Zhou was ignoring her, but Luo Ping was looking forward to it next to her, Xu Wanzhen nodded and said with a smile: "Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Luo!"
Seeing that the matter had been settled, Xu Wanzhen was about to take action immediately, but Meng Zhou said: "Fairy, have you never thought of bringing in more forces that can provide second-level cultivation methods?"
Xu Wanzhen was stunned and looked at Meng Zhou.
“Why must the scope be limited?
Since we have chips in hand, the more forces we attract, the easier it will be to find a second-level practice method that suits us.
There are more than thirty of us, and it is not easy to find a suitable practice method for all of us!"
Xu Wanzhen was deep in thought and did not respond to the matter immediately. Meng Zhou looked at the other two people and said, "Fellow Daoist Luo, Fellow Daoist Qu, what do you think?"
Even Luo Ping, whose thoughts were biased towards Xu Wanzhen, also agreed with Meng Zhou's statement.
Qu Jing immediately nodded in approval.
Both of them also looked at "Fairy Qingwan".
Xu Wanzhen looked at Meng Zhou deeply, nodded slowly and said:
"Yes, it is indeed true! However, in this case, isn't the movement too big?"
Luo and Qu nodded slightly again and looked at Meng Zhou.
Meng Zhou smiled and said: "According to your current thinking, won't the movement be small?"
"..." Xu Wanzhen was speechless.
Luo and Qu also agreed with Meng Zhou's statement. Even if they completely followed Fairy Qingwan's ideas, the news would not be small!
Collecting the foundation-building experiences of more than thirty casual cultivators, this kind of thing had never been heard of before.
Because except for this special period, it is impossible for so many casual cultivators to have such consistent urgent needs at the same time and in the same place!
Without staying long, Xu Wanzhen and the other three said goodbye and left.
Meng Zhou watched the three people disappear and returned to the house again. He once again recalled the inexplicable meaning contained in Xu Wanzhen's last glance before she left, and he chuckled in his heart.
Luo and Qu would take it for granted that Xu Wanzhen was planning this matter so actively for her own sake.
Even if she has an idea, her foundation-building experience alone cannot be used as a bargaining chip. Only quantitative changes must be piled up into qualitative changes to have the power to impress people.
But Meng Zhou knew very well about Xu Wanzhen's past "records", and he would not simply think so.
If she follows her plan completely, she might actually be able to trade it for a suitable foundation-building practice method.
It is even possible that she already knows who has the foundation-building practice method suitable for her, and what method should be used to impress the other party!
So she discovered that she had "made up" such a plan, but only God knows whether a practice suitable for other people can be found in this small group of people.
What Meng Zhou can be sure of is that the foundation-building practice method that is suitable for him is more rare and rare than the ordinary foundation-building practice method, and is naturally harder to obtain.
It is always right to increase the scope.
Meng Zhou sorted out today's events in his mind and felt that he had gained a lot.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door.
"Come in."
Shopkeeper Lu came in and after greetings, he reported something that surprised Meng Zhou.
Until Shopkeeper Lu held four bags of spiritual stones in his hands and presented them to Meng Zhou, he was still a little stunned and hadn't come back to his senses.
In his opinion, those Qi-training monks who were just here to join in the fun, each of them consciously presented a congratulatory gift before entering the Xiangming Tower.
Although it's not that many on average, there are so many people who can't stand it.
Shopkeeper Lu did an inventory afterwards and found that there were thirty-five thousand low-grade spiritual stones.
Shopkeeper Lu replaced them all with medium-grade spiritual stones, a total of 350, divided them into four spiritual stone bags, and sent them to Meng Zhou together.
There really is no harm if there is no comparison.
Now looking at the two Taoist friends Luo Qu and the "fairy" Xu Wanzhen, the flaws are immediately apparent.
Although he wasn't coveting any gifts, he didn't show any sign of it at all, which really felt a little off.
Meng Zhou stood up and put three bags full of spiritual stones into his arms.
He threw the spirit stone bag containing fifty middle-grade spirit stones to Shopkeeper Lu and strode out.
Shopkeeper Lu took it blankly, and then heard a voice coming from Meng Zhou who had already walked to the door.
"You spent a lot of money on making so many teas and snacks, plus you are busy working on it, so this should be considered as some compensation for you.
Don’t refuse. If you have more, you don’t have to withdraw, and if you have less, I won’t make up for it.”
By the time he reacted, Meng Zhou had already left the room.
He put the bag of spiritual stones in his pocket and walked out quickly, and saw that Meng Zhou had walked straight to the most conspicuous high platform of Xiangming Tower.
As he appeared, the lively and joking atmosphere quickly stopped, and everyone looked at him.
Meng Zhou glanced around the crowd and held his hands in front of the crowd.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in Meng's foundation-building celebration today. The preparation was hasty and a little shabby. I hope you can forgive me.
However, since everyone appreciates it, I will definitely not let everyone leave disappointed.
…I’ll share with you some of my personal experience in foundation building!”
All the guests were stunned. Looking at each other, they could see the ecstasy in each other's eyes.
There is such a good thing!
Today is the right time for this foundation building celebration!
This gift is well worth it!
Senior Meng, you are benevolent and righteous!
…
In the Xiangming Tower, hundreds of people were gathered together, but now they were already silent.
Everyone had held their breath and did not dare to make any noise.
Meng Zhou, who had explained something, had already taken out the pure futon and sat on it cross-legged.
He did not start talking immediately, but closed his eyes and sorted out the various feelings of the transformation of mana after he started to break through the barrier and build the foundation, and how to control the mana to open up the sea of consciousness.
Since he decided to give a lecture, of course he would not mess around casually.
Although, he will not talk about everything after opening up the Sea of Consciousness, nor will he disclose information about Qi and blood.
But just the process of mana transformation and opening up the sea of consciousness, the full amount of useful information, can feed them all!
He just wanted to tell them a simple truth: Come and give me a gift, Mr. Meng, and you won’t lose anything!
