Chapter 78 Planting Foundation Building Pills
Top-grade magic artifacts are the strongest magic artifacts below magic treasures. The reason is that such magic artifacts are actually failed magic treasure embryos. Therefore, top-grade magic artifacts are all personally crafted by Core Formation cultivators.
Although it was a failed product, the materials used and the crafting process were all made according to the standards for magical artifacts. Now that it is classified as a magical weapon, it can naturally be called the best among magical weapons.
Therefore, let alone a Qi Refining cultivator like Xiao Ming, even among Foundation Establishment cultivators, very few are fortunate enough to possess a top-grade magic weapon. Even some newly formed Core Formation cultivators, before they have had time to refine their own magic treasures, will first seek out a top-grade magic weapon to use.
Xiao Ming hurriedly put the Divine Light Mirror into his storage bag. With his current strength, if he were to reveal that he possessed a top-grade magic weapon, it would surely lead to his death.
For the rest of the journey, Xiao Ming proceeded with extreme caution until he finally saw the sect's iconic Five Finger Mountain in the distance, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon returning to his sect, Xiao Ming immediately began preparations for Foundation Establishment.
Within the omnipotent space.
Xiao Ming held a bluish-green pill in his hands, as if he were holding a baby who was the only heir for ten generations.
Whether I can establish my foundation in the future depends entirely on this Foundation Establishment Pill.
To provide the Foundation Establishment Pill spiritual plant with ample growing space, Xiao Ming dug a pit away from other spiritual plants.
Then Xiao Ming took out two spirit stones. Compared with ordinary spirit stones, these two spirit stones were larger and had much richer spiritual energy.
These are two mid-grade spirit stones, which can be exchanged for two hundred low-grade spirit stones, equivalent to the value of a mid-grade magic weapon.
With a flick of his wrist, Xiao Ming crushed the two mid-grade stones into fragments and buried them in the pit as base nutrients.
A wooden box appeared in his hand, and Xiao Ming took out all the discarded pills.
As is well known, farmers burn straw in the fields after harvesting, and the ash left behind helps the crops grow better the following year.
The omnipotent land seems to have similar characteristics. When it was planted with fire earlier, the fire spirit plant grew faster because it was watered with the blood of the fire sun bird of the same origin.
Xiao Ming believed that these discarded pills, which shared the same origin as the Foundation Establishment Pill, could also achieve the same effect.
Xiao Ming picked up the discarded pills one by one, crushed them little by little, and poured them in.
Then, Xiao Ming took out the precious Foundation Establishment Pill and carefully buried it in the pit.
After covering the soil with soil, Xiao Ming took out two jade bottles containing spiritual water, but he treated them like ordinary water and used them to water the plants.
As the spiritual water seeped into the soil, a small green seedling soon sprouted from the ground.
[Name]: Foundation Building Pill
[Growth Status]: Budding stage (1%)
Current Status: Good
"Grow up quickly," Xiao Ming murmured to himself.
For the next period of time, besides diligently cultivating and raising his cultivation level to the peak of Qi Refining as soon as possible, Xiao Ming spent his days entering the Omnipotent Space to take care of the Foundation Establishment Pill spiritual plants.
The higher the grade of something planted in the omnipotent soil, the slower it grows. However, with Xiao Ming's unreserved supply of nutrients, this Foundation Establishment Pill spiritual plant grew extremely fast.
In just one year, it reached the third stage of fruit production.
[Foundation Building Pill]: (Maturity 3%)
[Foundation Building Pill]: (Maturity 2%)

Looking at the five pills that had formed on the spiritual plant, Xiao Ming smiled with satisfaction, like a farmer who had just harvested a bountiful crop.
"The harvest season is coming soon. In just a few months, he will be able to achieve the Foundation Establishment Pill."
During the time he waited for the Foundation Establishment Pill to mature, Xiao Ming did not waste any time. He first went to Tianlu Pavilion and spent contribution points to exchange for some foundation establishment insights from seniors, which he studied carefully over and over again.
"According to the summaries of our predecessors, there are roughly three ways to increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment: pills, magic arrays, and secret techniques."
The Foundation Building Pill is the most effective auxiliary medicine; otherwise, it wouldn't be called the Foundation Building Pill.
In addition, Xiao Ming also has Spirit Foundation Building Elixir, which can be taken together with Foundation Building Pill, increasing the success rate by 20% on top of the Foundation Building Pill.
The magic array mainly refers to the spirit gathering array, which is used to increase the concentration of spiritual energy. Some cultivators with different spiritual roots will also choose different locations.
Within the Gu Spirit Sect, the Green Wood Peak is extremely suitable for cultivators with wood and earth spiritual roots to break through, while the Burning Cloud Peak is suitable for cultivators with thunder and fire spiritual roots, and so on.
Xiao Ming can't enjoy this kind of benefit. He has five spiritual roots, and the best environment for breakthrough is when the five elements are balanced; otherwise, it will only backfire.
After much thought, Xiao Ming felt that Tian Shu Peak was more suitable, as it was the sect's main peak and had the richest spiritual energy.
Finally, there are secret techniques. Compared to the previous two types, secret techniques have much stricter requirements, generally requiring a special physique or special cultivation method.
The most famous foundation-building secret technique in the Gu Spirit Sect seems to be related to Gu Spirits, but he is not a disciple of Xuan Yuan Peak and has no knowledge of Gu Spirits.
With the Foundation Establishment stage imminent, Xiao Ming decided not to force the issue.
After making some preparations, Xiao Ming brought the necessary items to Tian Shu Peak and entered Tian Lu Pavilion.
Lin Yu was lounging lazily on the counter, looking even more listless than before.
"Senior Brother Lin, it's been a long time." Xiao Ming greeted him with a smile. Last time he came to exchange for the Foundation Establishment experience of the sect's seniors, he did not see this person. It seemed that he had gone into seclusion to break through.
"It's Junior Brother Xiao. It's been a long time." Lin Yu looked up and nodded listlessly at Xiao Ming.
"Junior Brother Xiao, what would you like to exchange for?"
"I want to rent a cultivation chamber on Tian Shu Peak for a year."
"Junior Brother Xiao is also going into seclusion to break through." Upon hearing this, Lin Yu sat up straighter and looked at Xiao Ming with some confusion.
"I don't recall Junior Brother Xiao ever coming to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills."
"I was fortunate enough to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill through other means," Xiao Ming said vaguely.
Upon hearing this, Lin Yu's gaze towards Xiao Ming changed. He then recalled the recent return of his friend Yuan Hong, who had lost an arm, and this Junior Brother Xiao seemed to be a disciple who had left the sect with Yuan Hong.
Several Qi Refining disciples went out together, naturally hoping for an opportunity, and now it seems that Junior Brother Xiao must have gained something.
"I see. Junior Brother Xiao is truly fortunate." A hint of envy flashed in Lin Yu's eyes.
Without saying anything more, Lin Yu handed him a token after receiving one hundred contribution points.
"Cultivation Chamber Number Five, Junior Brother Xiao, good luck."
"Thank you!" Xiao Ming took the plaque, flew out of Tianlu Pavilion, and flew upwards to a position near the peak.
A large spirit-gathering array was set up here, concentrating the sect's most abundant spiritual energy. The cultivation chamber he rented, though called an Earth-level chamber, was actually located on the edge of this large spirit-gathering array.
The core of this large spirit-gathering array is located at the summit, in the legendary cave of the Nascent Soul Ancestor.
Following the guidance of the token in his hand, Xiao Ming quickly found the so-called Earth No. 5 secret room—a wooden-walled thatched hut.
Inside, the furnishings were quite simple, with only a bed and a futon on it.
The only commendable thing is that the room is engraved with a protective array, which can prevent interference during the breakthrough.
After a quick glance around the room, Xiao Ming activated the protective array, then sat on the bed and meditated for three days to adjust his condition to its best.
Then, Xiao Ming opened the storage bag and took out a wooden bucket.
He then took out one jade bottle after another, each filled with the water of the spiritual eye, which piled up to be more than a person high.
This is the spiritual water that Xiao Ming has saved up over the years.
Xiao Ming poured all the spiritual eye water into the bucket, then took out about ten jade bottles and poured out a blood-red liquid.
This is the Spirit Building Elixir.
In the eyes of ordinary Qi Refining cultivators, the Spirit Foundation Pill is second only to the Foundation Establishment Pill in terms of rarity, and obtaining even a single bottle is considered a treasure.
But Xiao Ming treated it like it was free. He couldn't drink so much if it was just for internal use, so he simply used it both internally and externally.
If other Qi Refining Peak cultivators saw such a luxurious scene, they would be absolutely envious. Such precious Spirit Building Elixir and Spirit Eye Water had actually become Xiao Ming's bathwater.
After taking off his outer garment, Xiao Ming entered the tub and instantly felt the tub's abundant spiritual energy.
Even without deliberate cultivation, spiritual energy would seep into every pore of his body, increasing his cultivation level.
At this moment, Xiao Ming was filled with confidence.
So what if he has five spiritual roots? In this environment, even a pig should be able to break through and become a pig demon.
With that thought in mind, Xiao Ming took out a small jade bottle, poured out a Foundation Establishment Pill, swallowed it, and began meditative cultivation.
