If it weren’t for the small auction that took place later, where He Song and Wei Fan managed to borrow some spirit stones to buy the Vein Protection Elixir, he might not have even been able to get one.

And under these circumstances,

Meng Guan managed to achieve Foundation Establishment success.

It can simply be considered a miracle.

You need to know.

During his attempt at Foundation Establishment, he not only consumed a Foundation Establishment Elixir, which increases the rate of success, but also knew about Meng Guan’s experience with Foundation Establishment.

Even with these two factors, breaking through to Foundation Establishment was still extremely difficult for him.

Compared to Meng Guan’s successful Foundation Establishment, he felt a hint of epiphany in his heart.

In his opinion,

The reason Lao Meng was able to establish his foundation was due largely to luck.

Meanwhile,

He Song nodded thoughtfully after listening to his words. If one tried to establish their foundation without a life-saving elixir,

Failing could result in serious injuries or even death on the spot.

This is not a joke,

But the truth.

Only by taking a Vein Protection Elixir or a Foundation Establishment Elixir can one avoid such a fate and save their life.

However, even if one consumes these elixirs, it will take a long time for the injuries to heal completely.

This is why it takes two years to attempt breakthrough again after failing with the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

“It seems I am a step late.”

As the two were talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

The two looked over and saw Meng Guan standing at the entrance of the courtyard, his eyes fixed on Wei Fan.

Seeing it was Meng Guan, He Song waved his hand, and the array setup in the courtyard was immediately closed, and the courtyard door opened.

When Meng Guan entered the courtyard, He Song activated the Array Skills again and closed the door.

Approaching Wei Fan,

Meng Guan carefully observed Wei Fan’s condition and then sighed in relief.

“Having taken the Foundation Establishment Elixir, there should be no major issues. After two years of recuperation, you can try again.”

“I must admit, the Foundation Establishment method is too profound. Even after five years, I have barely learned one. I missed Wei’s day of Foundation Establishment, and I hope you won’t blame me.”

Meng Guan said with a salute to the two.

Even after breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm, the way the three addressed each other hadn’t changed.

Although Wei Fan had mentioned it before, Meng Guan said he didn’t mind it.

Thus, even though Meng Guan had already established his foundation, he still addressed Wei as Wei.

Long-standing habits don’t change easily.

“Lao Meng, you shouldn’t blame yourself. It’s me who wasted a Foundation Establishment Elixir, and I feel ashamed.”

Seeing Meng Guan saluting him, Wei Fan’s face flashed a hint of embarrassment.

The Foundation Establishment Elixir in his hand had come from Meng Guan.

Now that his first attempt at Foundation Establishment had failed and he had used up the only Foundation Establishment Elixir he had, he felt even more ashamed when he saw Meng Guan.

Meng Guan successfully established his foundation without a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Although he believed luck played a significant role,

When it came to his own breakthrough,

He had Meng Guan’s personal Foundation Establishment experience and the Foundation Establishment Elixir that Meng Guan had personally given him to help.

Moreover, he had the four Spirits Root.

But… despite all this, his first attempt to break through the Foundation Establishment stage still failed.

If he hadn’t had a Foundation Establishment Elixir to protect him, he would have been dead by now.

This disparity made it difficult for Wei Fan to accept.contemporary romance

Now seeing Meng Guan, he felt even more embarrassed.

“No need to worry, it’s just one Foundation Establishment Elixir. Now that I’ve reached Foundation Establishment, it’s not as difficult to obtain as it was during the Qi Refining stage. You don’t have to be like this.”

Meng Guan waved his hand, signaling Wei Fan not to worry.

However, while speaking, Meng Guan quickly started calculating in his heart.

Foundation Establishment Elixirs

Are generally stored in the sect’s treasure vault, and when they appear there, disciples with contributions or Foundation Establishment elders can exchange them at any time.

However, they are quite valuable.

To exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir, you need a full hundred contribution points.

Based on the exchange rate of one contribution point equaling 150 spirit stones,

Converting to spirit stones, a Foundation Establishment Elixir would cost 15,000 spirit stones.

This is just the internal price.

If sold outside, it would probably cost at least 20,000 or even higher.

An outer disciple completing tasks for a year can only earn five contribution points.

Moreover, in the sect, obtaining anything requires contributions.

Cultivation skills, elixirs, Artifacts, and so on.

If you want these, you need to exchange for them with contribution points.

Thus, for a Qi Refining disciple, it’s extremely difficult to accumulate contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir.

Even though outer disciples receive an annual salary of 500 spirit stones, which can be used to exchange for contribution points,

At most, they can only earn eight contribution points a year by calculating with 150 spirit stones per point.

Plus, there are regular expenses for learning Array Skills, buying elixirs, and Artifacts, etc.

Trying to accumulate a hundred contribution points to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir is quite difficult.

However, once they break through to Foundation Establishment and become a Foundation Establishment elder, it will no longer be so difficult. Foundation Establishment elders,

Can earn 20 contribution points from tasks completed in a year.

At the same time, each Foundation Establishment elder receives an annual salary of 3,000 spirit stones.

If the annual salary of 3,000 spirit stones is also used to exchange for contribution points, they can get a total of 40 contribution points a year.

In just three years, they can exchange for a Foundation Establishment Elixir from the sect’s treasure vault.

This is also why Ping’er said that with a Foundation Establishment friend or Master, the chance of reaching Foundation Establishment increases greatly.

For Foundation Establishment Masters, the Foundation Establishment Elixir is not that precious.

Of course,

It’s much easier for the Thick Earth Sect’s outer disciples to obtain a Foundation Establishment Elixir than it is for loose cultivators.

They can seek a Foundation Establishment Master as their mentor,

Or work hard to accumulate contribution points to exchange for a Foundation

Establishment Elixir,

Or even befriend a Foundation Establishment elder, which may lead to unexpected gains.

For the disciples of the Thick Earth Sect,

The chances of getting a Foundation Establishment Elixir are undoubtedly much greater than for ordinary loose cultivators.

But,

Three years to save up a Foundation Establishment Elixir,

This speed may seem fast,

But… it seems Wei Fan doesn’t have that much time.

Wei Fan is now already 57 years old, and in three years, he will be over 60. Moreover, he only needs two years to recover from his injuries,

Which means that he needs another Foundation Establishment Elixir within two years so that he can still use one for his next attempt.

After carefully calculating, Meng Guan couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

“It’s just… I used all my annual salary for daily cultivation and purchasing high-quality Artifacts, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to save enough for a Foundation Establishment Elixir in two years..”
