Chapter 358: Flaw
ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey
The temporary halt in the production of Lesser Foundation Building Pills did not have much impact on others, but it had a significant impact on one person - Meng Zhang's first disciple Niu Dawei.
Niu Dawei had already completed his Qi Refinement and refined his True Qi to near perfection.
A few months ago, he was already able to go into seclusion to break through to the Foundation Building stage, and he was full of confidence that he would succeed.
However, Meng Zhang wanted to be safe and increase his chances of success, so he asked him to wait a little bit and wait for Shi Changqing to refine the Lesser Foundation Building Pills.
However, Shi Changqing failed in his alchemy this time and was also seriously injured, so the production of Lesser Foundation Building Pills had to be postponed.
Meng Zhang was very concerned about his first disciple Niu Dawei, and seeing that there were no Lesser Foundation Building Pills available for the time being, he went to Great Wind City alone.
The last time Gu Yue Huaidie Daoist Master summoned Meng Zhang, she left a token for him, so he could go and pay her a visit at any time after he arrived in Great Wind City.
However, it was very unfortunate that when Meng Zhang came this time, Gu Yue Huaidie Daoist Master was not there, and he only met Gu Yue Youlan.
For the sake of his disciple, Meng Zhang shamelessly asked Gu Yue Youlan for a Foundation Building Pill.
Gu Yue Youlan's status in the Gu Yue Family was far lower than Gu Yue Huaidie's, so she had no way of getting a Foundation Building Pill.
Meng Zhang gritted his teeth and took out the Lesser Foundation Building Pill's formula, hoping to exchange it for a Foundation Building Pill.
In Meng Zhang's opinion, the Lesser Foundation Building Pill formula was still very valuable. Although its efficacy was far inferior to that of the Foundation Building Pill, it was easier to collect the materials.
With the Gu Yue Family's background, they could not continuously refine Foundation Building Pills. However, the Lesser Foundation Building Pill should be able to be mass-produced.
With the Lesser Foundation Building Pill formula, it should be enough to exchange for a Foundation Building Pill.
Through their previous interactions, Meng Zhang was fairly trusting of Gu Yue Huaidie and Gu Yue Youlan. He knew that with their temperament, they would not covet his formula.
All Meng Zhang asked Gu Yue Youlan to do was to help him connect the dots.
Gu Yue Youlan agreed to Meng Zhang's request and invited a family alchemist to come and authenticate the Lesser Foundation Building Pill formula as a matter of routine.
After the alchemist's authentication, he gave Meng Zhang a statement that was absolutely unexpected.
The Gu Yue Family also had a collection of formulas similar to the Lesser Foundation Building Pill. Of course, the effects may not be as good as the Lesser Foundation Building Pill.
The Lesser Foundation Building Pill has many other flaws, but the biggest problem is that when a cultivator uses the Lesser Foundation Building Pill to assist in Foundation Building, the difficulty of breaking through to the Gold Core stage will increase by many times in the future.
If there is no special opportunity, this cultivator will basically be unable to enter the Gold Core stage.
This was the first time Meng Zhang had heard of this flaw in the Lesser Foundation Building Pill.
After a long time of being shocked, he finally calmed down.
At first, he was a little reluctant to believe it, but soon he realized that there was no need for the Gu Yue Family's alchemist to deceive him, and he was telling the truth.
Perhaps for most Qi Refinement stage cultivators, the Foundation Building stage is the end of their path in life, and they should be grateful for being able to Foundation Build.
However, in Meng Zhang's heart, he had higher expectations for his disciple Niu Dawei.
Niu Dawei's path would not end at the Foundation Building stage.
Although Meng Zhang himself was only a Foundation Building stage cultivator, he had a strange confidence that Niu Dawei would break through the Foundation Building stage in the future.
Meng Zhang felt a deep sense of relief that Shi Changqing's alchemy had failed and Niu Dawei had not had the opportunity to use the Lesser Foundation Building Pill to assist in Foundation Building.
Otherwise, Niu Dawei's future would have been ruined.
Of course, because of this fatal flaw, the value of the Lesser Foundation Building Pill has also plummeted.
For those cultivators with a bright future and ambitions for their own path, the Lesser Foundation Building Pill is a poison to be avoided at all costs.In fact, the Gu Yue Family did not mass-produce pills like the Lesser Foundation Building Pill for fear that their children would become complacent once they entered the Foundation Building stage.
For a Gold Core family like the Gu Yue Family, having more Foundation Building cultivators was meaningless.
Only Gold Core cultivators could decide the family's future and fate.
The alchemist revealed some of the Gu Yue Family's secrets because he knew that Gu Yue Huaidie was interested in Meng Zhang.
The Gu Yue Family gave up the benefits of producing pills like the Lesser Foundation Building Pill, which resulted in fewer Foundation Building cultivators in the family. This was to ensure that the cultivators in the family were always striving to reach the Gold Core stage.
In fact, every Foundation Building cultivator born into a Gold Core family like the Gu Yue Family had the ambition to reach the Gold Core stage.
Meng Zhang wanted to know if the Twin Success Valley knew about this flaw in the Lesser Foundation Building Pill back then.
Of course, this flaw in the Lesser Foundation Building Pill did not matter to most cultivators who had taken it, so it was not really a flaw.
After the Flying Swan Sect took over the Endless Sea of Sand, and before the Guang Zhi Daoist Master from the Forest Spring Watch appeared, no other sect in the Endless Sea of Sand had a Gold Core Daoist Master, except for the Flying Swan Sect.
Moreover, just because the Twin Success Valley had created the Lesser Foundation Building Pill did not mean that all of the Foundation Building cultivators in the Twin Success Valley had successfully reached the Foundation Building stage after taking the Lesser Foundation Building Pill.
With the Twin Success Valley's power and wealth, it was not difficult to obtain one or two Foundation Building Pills for the promising disciples in the sect.
Because of this major flaw, the Lesser Foundation Building Pill recipe Meng Zhang provided had little value to the Gu Yue Family.
Even with Gu Yue Huaidie and Gu Yue Youlan's help, it could not be exchanged for a real Foundation Building Pill.
Of course, according to the alchemist, the Lesser Foundation Building Pill still had some reference value. For alchemists like them, it could be used as a reference.
Therefore, the alchemist was willing to give Meng Zhang some spirit stones or spiritual items in exchange for reading the recipe.
The Gu Yue Family was quite straightforward, so Meng Zhang accepted the compensation.
As for the Foundation Building Pill, Gu Yue Youlan could only apologize to Meng Zhang.
If Meng Zhang really needed a Foundation Building Pill, he could wait for Gu Yue Huaidie to return. However, even Gu Yue Youlan did not know when Gu Yue Huaidie would return.
After Meng Zhang left the Gu Yue Family, he was a little hesitant about whether to risk it and extort Ye Feifan again. He did not know if Ye Feifan still had any Foundation Building Pills.
Meng Zhang stayed in his quiet room alone and used the Grand Evolving Fortune to consume a lot of calculation tallies to perform some calculations.
The result of the calculations shocked him.
Ye Feifan did indeed have Foundation Building Pills, but if Meng Zhang contacted Ye Feifan again, he would be killed.
After getting this result, Meng Zhang not only gave up the idea of contacting Ye Feifan, but also immediately left Great Wind City and returned to the Endless Sea of Sand as fast as he could.
After returning to the Taiyi Sect, Meng Zhang felt a little ashamed to face his disciple Niu Dawei.
He called Niu Dawei over and apologized to him, saying that he had made a wasted trip and did not get any Foundation Building Pills. He was a very incompetent master.
