CHAPTER 252: Primordial Spirit Restriction (Combined Chapter)
Through deep communication, he could sense that the magical power of this woman was quite pure, and she had not strayed from the path due to impatience.
Her breath was very steady, and her purity was barely up to standard. It seemed she had been cultivating at the peak of qi refinement for several years.
“Junior sister, if I remember correctly, you are also forty-nine years old this year, right?”
Liu Yu said calmly, though it sounded like a question, his tone was very certain.
“Senior brother is not mistaken,” Jiang Qiushui replied, changing into a black gauze dress, through which a hint of white could be seen. She gathered her still damp hair and said without raising her head.
“How is your preparation for foundation establishment going?”
“How confident are you?”
Liu Yu continued to inquire calmly.
“I am just an ordinary qi refinement cultivator. Since following senior brother, I have basically cut off contact with my previous fellow cultivators. Where can I go to prepare for foundation establishment?”
“Qiushui has only prepared a few ordinary auxiliary spiritual objects, hoping to take a chance, but my chances of success in foundation establishment are only about thirty percent.”
Hearing this question, Jiang Qiushui paused her movements, looking somewhat dejected, but then she became resolute and answered.
She clearly had the determination to take a risk, knowing that failure could likely result in serious injuries and a significant loss of her foundation, greatly reducing her lifespan.
“A thirty percent chance is still too low.”
Liu Yu shook his head slightly, not optimistic about this probability.
Most cultivators, lacking channels and resources, could only prepare a few weak spiritual objects that barely had any effect, increasing the possibility by just a little, reaching just over twenty percent.
Thus, among ordinary qi refinement cultivators attempting foundation establishment, often only one in a hundred succeeds, highlighting the difficulty of the immortal path.
Because Jiang Qiushui helped him manage the jade alchemy hall, the spiritual stones she earned each month were more than most qi refinement cultivators, allowing her to purchase slightly better spiritual objects, thus her success rate was a bit higher.
After thinking for a moment, Liu Yu reached into his storage bag and took out a small green jade porcelain bottle, placing it on the table.
“Junior sister can take a look at what this is.”
At this point, he had completely calmed down and was considering the issue purely from a profit perspective, without mixing in any personal feelings.
Jiang Qiushui had already used a spell to dry her hair and tied it back with a pink ribbon.
Upon hearing his words, her beautiful eyes lit up as she looked toward the small porcelain bottle, filled with a sense of anticipation as she picked it up.
“Foundation Establishment Pill!”
Jiang Qiushui covered her red lips with her delicate hand, exclaiming in surprise, her eyes wide as she looked at Liu Yu, filled with disbelief.
“The market price of a foundation establishment pill generally ranges from three thousand five hundred to four thousand spiritual stones. Considering the effort junior sister has put in for me over the years, let’s settle on three thousand five hundred spiritual stones.”
“This foundation establishment pill can be given to junior sister on credit, and you can gradually repay this amount of spiritual stones later.”
Liu Yu’s voice barely wavered as he slowly stated the conditions.
Jiang Qiushui's beautiful eyes flashed with understanding; this was the senior brother she knew.
If he were to give away the foundation establishment pill just because of her beauty, that would not be real.
“Thank you for your care, senior brother. Qiushui will remember this and be very grateful; I will definitely serve you well in the future.”
Jiang Qiushui emphasized the word "serve," seemingly hinting at something.
