After successfully renting the Immortal Cave, the two imdiately moved in.
Su Bai looked at the surrounding environnt; it was very well maintained.
Aside from being expensive, there were no downsides, and each rental required a minimum of ten years.
"It's a bit of a waste."
Hearing Su Bai's words, Xu Changge didn't mind.
"It's not a waste. If we don't find Foundation Establishnt Spirit dicine and then have so gains after going to the Zhenyi Secret Realm, we can co back and continue living here. We can't waste this Gathering Spirit Array."
As Xu Changge spoke, she took a deep, satisfied breath.
Su Bai also took a breath.
Although it wasn't a third-tier Spiritual Vein, it was, after all, near a third-tier Spiritual Vein and had a Gathering Spirit Array.
In terms of Spiritual Qi, it was much stronger than Wumu Island.
Su Bai even didn't want to go out to the auction and instead imdiately began Cultivating.
Xu Changge didn't care about the Spirit Stones used to rent the Immortal Cave; compared to the Foundation Establishnt Opportunity, these Spirit Stones were not even worth a mosquito's leg.
"Do you want to go out and look around?"
After Xu Changge surveyed the Immortal Cave, she was very satisfied and then invited Su Bai to go out and explore.
Su Bai naturally agreed.
As a bumpkin, it was her first ti in such a Cultivator city, so of course, she wanted to broaden her horizons.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?
After the two walked out of the rented Immortal Cave, their faces were covered with light veils that concealed their appearances.
Xu Changge was quite familiar with Tianyun City.
With her leading Su Bai, the two strolled unhurriedly.
Initially, Su Bai was interested in various places in Tianyun City, but after gradually becoming familiar, she also cald down and began to do proper business.
She started inquiring about news of Foundation Establishnt Spirit Items.
Xu Changge took Su Bai in and out of different Spirit dicine shops. These shopkeepers had a partnership with Tianyun City.
Typically, they would be inford of news like Foundation Establishnt Spirit dicine appearing at auctions, which they would then disseminate to Loose Cultivators to generate hype and increase the price of Foundation Establishnt Spirit dicine.
While Xu Changge was conversing with the shop owner, Su Bai was not idle.
She was buying Pill Formulas.
Although Spirit dicine shops primarily sold Spirit dicine, they also sold Pill Formulas.
Su Bai's goal was very clear: the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula.
Over the many years in Tianyun City, countless Loose Cultivators had co, and while the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula might not be readily available to everyone, anyone who needed it could buy it.
It was just that Pill Formulas were easy to obtain, but Spirit dicine was hard to co by.
When Xu Changge finished her conversation with the shop owner and walked over, Su Bai looked at her expression, which was calm, showing neither joy nor disappointnt.
"Any news?"
Although she knew the outco, Su Bai still asked.
Hearing Su Bai's concern, Xu Changge reached out and played with her hair, shaking her head slightly.
"It's just an ordinary Spirit dicine shop; they don't even have the auxiliary dicine for the Foundation Establishnt Pill."
Xu Changge was used to it; after all, she had been preparing for the Foundation Establishnt Pill as early as ten years ago.
In fact, apart from the main Materials for the Foundation Establishnt Pill—Jade Marrow Mushroom, Purple Monkey Flower, and Tianling Fruit—she only lacked Profound Ice Flower and Illusion Heart Grass for the other auxiliary dicine.
Not finding them here wasn't disappointing; she was just here to gather information.
It was Su Bai who was interesting.
"Younger Sister Su, I saw you bought a Pill Formula just now?"
Su Bai didn't hide it and nodded.
"I bought the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula."
"I have it here, older sister, why did you still buy it?"
Xu Changge was a bit puzzled. She had the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula, so why would Su Bai still buy it?
Did she not want to trouble herself?
So Xu Changge said again:
"You just need to say a word about the Pill Formula; I wouldn't refuse to let you see it."
Then Xu Changge couldn't understand what Su Bai was thinking.
Su Bai just shook her head without explaining.
Later, Xu Changge took Su Bai to other dicine shops.
They also visited Wanbao Pavilion, which was rumored to be a mysterious organization spanning multiple countries.
Not only did it have a vast array of goods, but its reputation was also excellent.
As soon as Su Bai entered, she was dazzled by the various items inside.
Within Wanbao Pavilion, there were not only Spirit dicine and Magical Artifacts but also various Cultivation Techniques for sale.
Then, under Xu Changge's strange gaze, Su Bai purchased another copy of the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula.
Before this, every ti Su Bai visited a dicine shop, she would buy a Pill Formula.
Now, counting the one she bought from Wanbao Pavilion, she had at least twenty or more Foundation Establishnt Pill Formulas in her possession!
Although Su Bai never explained, Xu Changge roughly guessed the purpose of Su Bai's actions.
This made Xu Changge shake her head, sighing at Su Bai's caution.
Foundation Establishnt was a major event.
One could not be careless.
Su Bai bought multiple copies of the Foundation Establishnt Pill Formula to compare them from various sources.
Seeing that the Pill Formulas were largely similar, she understood that the purchased Pill Formulas were all fine.
Only so auxiliary dicine would be slightly different.
However, with Su Bai's status as a first-tier High Grade Alchemist, she could tell that the effects of those differing auxiliary dicine were almost the sa.
They were basically all related to dispelling stasis and promoting blood circulation, clearing ridians, and reducing heat.
Even if a few of these auxiliary dicine were missing, if the efficacy of the other auxiliary dicine was sufficient, the Alchemy could still succeed.
Furthermore, based on these Pill Formulas and Xu Changge's introduction, Su Bai understood three thods of Foundation Establishnt.
The first thod was the Foundation Establishnt Pill, primarily based on Spirit dicine. This thod was the safest; one only needed to purchase the Spirit dicine and then ask an Alchemist to refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
The second thod was the Foundation Establishnt Pill, with Monster Beast Pill as the main Material.
This thod was sowhat difficult, as it required at least a second-tier Yao Beast's Monster Beast Pill.
That was a Yao Beast equivalent to a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator.
How could ordinary Loose Cultivators have the ability to hunt and extract the Monster Core?
Even Foundation Establishnt Families rarely considered this path when seeking Foundation Establishnt Pills for their descendants.
The Demon Beast Mountain Range was vast, and its environnt was complex. The areas where second-tier Yao Beasts resided were already very dangerous for Cultivators.
So second-tier Yao Beasts were not even solitary; if one encountered a group of second-tier Yao Beasts, the death would be miserable, and no one would even help collect the corpse.
Therefore, this thod was generally considered by desperadoes or Cultivators who were extrely confident in their own strength.
The third thod was to not use the Foundation Establishnt Pill and forcefully Breakthrough with Qi Refining Peak Cultivation.
However, in Su Bai's opinion, this thod was no different from courting death.
Forceful Breakthrough had Spiritual Root limitations.
If you had a High Grade Spiritual Root, you would have a 50% success rate without relying on the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
If it was an Earthly Spiritual Root, it could be 90%!
And if the Cultivation Technique was powerful, it could even be a 100% chance!
There was even less need to ntion the Heavenly Spiritual Root.
Su Bai had never even heard of such a legendary existence in her small place.
Among these three Foundation Establishnt thods, in Su Bai's opinion, the most cost-effective was naturally the first one.
Purchase Spirit dicine and then refine the Foundation Establishnt Pill.
However, this thod had a difficulty.
Too many Cultivators were competing for these Foundation Establishnt Spirit dicine.
The auxiliary dicine had no strict growth environnt requirents, so there was no shortage.
But the main dicine for the Foundation Establishnt Pill not only had demanding growth environnts but also age requirents.
If you used Spirit dicine that wasn't at least a hundred years old for refining, you would only get a batch of Waste Pill (waste pills).
They would be full of Pill poison; taking them would send you to heaven on the spot, and you wouldn't need to consider Foundation Establishnt anymore.
Su Bai only hoped that this ti, her and Xu Changge's luck would be a little better.
