When Gu Yang asked about the Legacy, Liu Yingjun once again became the focus of the scene.
Although Liu Yingjun was already a Cultivator at the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm, today was a rare occasion for him to experience being the centre of attention in decades.
Plus, having drunk too much, he stroked his grizzled beard and said profoundly,
“There’s a saying in Cultivation Hundred Arts: ‘Formulas are easy to obtain, but Legacy is hard to come by.'”
Everyone was puzzled, showing confused expressions, except for Liu Chuanjiu, who curved his lips into a smile and interjected, “Let me tell you about this.”
“My Family is a small Family, mainly dealing in Spirit Wine.
Take this jar of Spirit Wine on the table, for example, I can give you the Formula and you can also refine it, but I can tell you clearly that the taste of what you refine will definitely not be as good as this jar of wine I have and that’s using the same Materials.
Because if there’s even a slight difference in time for any single step of the process, the taste of the wine will be vastly different.
This is the key to why Formulas are easy to obtain, but Legacy is hard to come by.”
Wan Baobao also chimed in, “Let me tell you, take a simple Golden Sword Talisman, for example, The same Talismans sold at our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion come in exquisite and ordinary grades, with prices differing by several times.”
“Not to mention anything else, the Spirit Artifacts refined by those famous Artifacts Refining Great Masters are expensive, but their quality is simply different.
For items of the same grade, a few dozen collisions can shatter your Spirit Artifact!
These are the true artisans!”
Everyone generally understood after listening.
Liu Yingjun spoke again, “Junior Sister Wan is right.
The Pill Formulas, Artifact Refining Diagram, and Talisman scrolls, you want can all be exchanged at the Sect using contribution points.
But these are all common goods.
what can truly fetch a high price are either high-grade Talismans or those that have been improved through hundreds of thousands of experiments.
Moreover, everyone’s understanding of Talismans and Spells is different, so what they draw is also different.”
“For example, the most crucial Wind Travel Talisman; some Talisman Masters can refine one that is thirty percent faster.
Tell me, when two people encounter a strong enemy, won’t the slower one perish?
So sometimes, the distance between life and death is just one Wind Travel Talisman.
One sells for 1 Spirit Stone, another for 10 Spirit Stones.
Which one would you buy?
One can only be used for travel, while the other can shake off Cultivators of the same Realm at a critical moment.
Although both are Wind Travel Talismans, they are two completely different things!”
“Subtle differences sometimes mean a world of difference, the distance between life and death!”
“It’s the distance between Qi Refinement Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage!”
“And true Legacies are improved items.
They have been refined through hundreds of thousands of deliberations, even generations of deliberation, and countless Spirit Stones spent on experimentation.
Why would they simply give it to you?”
“They will only bless their Bloodline descendants!”
“This is what I mean by Legacy being hard to come by!” A glint flashed in Gu Yang’s eyes, and he immediately understood that the Talisman Making Legacy in his hand was likely a type of Legacy, as he had roughly read a few pages.
Every stroke of a Talisman was clearly recorded, along with explanations of Talisman drawing and Spells, rather than just giving you a sample to copy.
It was as if a master was teaching him hand-in-hand.
Yu Chi, who had a great interest in Cultivation Hundred Arts, spoke again,
“Senior Brother Liu, where can one obtain Legacy?”
“Junior Brother Yu, low-grade Legacies can also be exchanged with Sect contribution points, but they are quite expensive.
High-grade ones are very difficult to find.
It’s not that the Sect doesn’t have them.
As one of the five great Sects in Song Country, our Myriad Dao sect naturally has all kinds of Legacies, at least up to the Golden Core Stage Legacy, and some Legacies even reach the Nascent Soul Stage.
Although not every single one is perfect, they are definitely not bad.
However, these Legacies are mainly passed down by the peak masters of each peak through master- Disciple and Bloodline relationships.
As Outer Sect Disciples, unless we climb high branches or become Disciples after Foundation Establishment, we won’t have the opportunity to obtain these.
Otherwise, what can be exchanged with contribution points will at most end at the first-stage high-grade.”
As Liu Yingjun’s words fell, everyone fell silent, their expressions not looking very good, feeling as if it was another dead end.
Gu Yang, however, didn’t feel anything.
It was originally something passed down by people’s ancestors for generations, why should it benefit a barefoot Outer Sect Disciple like him?
If it were simply given to you, you might not even be grateful.
Only when it is difficult to obtain will one know the preciousness of Legacy.
At this moment, Li Mei, who had been silent, spoke up,
“Senior Brother Liu, besides buying with Spirit Stones, are there any other ways to obtain Foundation Establishment Pill?”
If two people pool their efforts and one of us can achieve Foundation Establishment…”
When Zhou Qing said this, he looked at Li Mei affectionately and even held Li Mei’s hand, saying, “Then I’ll help you, Xiaomei, achieve Foundation Establishment first.
Once you achieve Foundation Establishment, your speed of earning Spirit Stones will definitely be much faster, and then you can help me achieve Foundation Establishment later.”
Li Mei was stunned for a moment, a hint of incredulity flashing in her eyes, then she immediately looked at Zhou Qing with an infatuated and moved expression, sweetly saying,
“Brother Zhou Qing, don’t worry, once I achieve Foundation Establishment, I will definitely become your Dao Companion and help you achieve Foundation Establishment!
In the future, we will also Cultivate together to higher Realms, become a pair of immortal companions, and explore this magnificent and mysterious world together!”
Zhou Qing immediately became a little emotional, and he even called out “Xiaomei” affectionately.
From then on, this pair of childhood sweethearts held hands, heart to heart, and began to gaze at each other deeply.
At this moment, Wan Baobao, Han Xinghua, Han Xingzhi, and Jin Que’er, the four girls, all looked at Li Mei with envious eyes.
Han Xinghua secretly glanced at Gu Yang again, then instantly rolled her eyes, her mouth pouting high!
Because at this moment, Gu Yang was looking at Zhou Qing with an expression as if he were looking at a Fool.
He even exclaimed in his heart, (What is love in this world?
It only makes people dizzy.)
And the rest, Zhou Buping, Zhang Tieniu, Liu Chuanjiu, Lü Pin, Zhou Sanwang, Yu Chi, Han Xinghe, including Liu Yingjun, all looked at Zhou Qing with the same expression as if looking at a Madman.
But Liu Yingjun was, after all, an old player, and he instantly adjusted his expression, changing the subject, saying, “There is more than one way for the Sect to obtain Foundation Establishment Pill; it can be said to be diverse.”
Everyone’s attention was once again drawn to Liu Yingjun, and they no longer looked at the crazy Zhou Qing, having already listed Zhou Qing as someone who could not achieve Foundation Establishment.
Liu Yingjun continued, “Inner Sect Disciples will have a grand competition every 10 years, and Outer Sect Disciples can also participate, as long as you are not over 50 years old.
If you are lucky enough to get into the top three, you can get a Medium Grade Foundation Establishment Pill.
But I can tell you, the total number of all Qi Refinement Stage Disciples in the Sect will not be less than 100,000.
If we only count those at the Qi Refinement Great Perfection Realm, it will definitely not be less than a thousand people; the exact number is beyond my knowledge.
There is also participating in Secret Realm trials.
As long as you collect the items designated by the Sect, you can also exchange them for Foundation Establishment Pill.
However, Secret Realm trials have no limits on life and death, and even mutual killing among Sect Disciples is not a problem.
So, the survival rate each time is probably only about ten percent.”
“Hundreds of people go, and dozens come back.”
“A Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Sect once said,”
“Within the Secret Realm, it’s survival of the fittest, determining both superiority and life or death.”
“Outside the Secret Realm, past grievances are not pursued.”
