Late at night, Jiang Ming lay in the house, digesting the news he got from Feng He.

"The Blackstone Ruins are gradually collapsing, and they have partially regained their original rules...... Most of the areas can only be entered during the Qi cultivation period."

"According to Feng He, it will only be five or six years before the next time the ruins will be completely opened, and this may also be the last time the blackstone ruins will be opened, after which it will completely collapse and everything will cease to exist!"

Jiang Ming recalled some miscellaneous books and ancient books he had read, it was said that the first time the blackstone ruins appeared a long time ago, they could only accommodate the Qi cultivation period, and then as the years passed, their prohibition gradually broke, which could accommodate people with higher cultivation to enter.

It's just that I didn't expect that when everyone was speculating that the blackstone ruins were about to be completely shattered, its prohibition was actually strengthened again......

"Is this a return to the ruins?"

Jiang Ming muttered, his eyes flashing with thought...... This may be a hard-won opportunity for me.

After entering the immortal cultivation realm for decades, Jiang Ming has been developing in this small thousand mountains, and now he has some strength to gain a foothold, but if he goes up, he is afraid that it will become more and more difficult just by relying on penance.

Needless to say, it is difficult for every casual cultivator to build a foundation, even if Feng He has been in the Lingzhi Hall for dozens or hundreds of years, and his family background is extremely rich, he has not been able to successfully build a foundation to this day...... Even if Jiang Ming found the foundation building method, the hope of successfully building the foundation is estimated to be extremely slim.

In terms of martial arts cultivation, if Jiang Ming hadn't been lucky enough to get the mutilated breathing method that came out of the ruins, maybe until today, he wouldn't be able to build a foundation for martial arts.

However, that breathing method, after all, is incomplete, and now it is running intermittently, it is difficult to continue cultivating, and it is necessary to seek the method of continuation......

And the greatest hope for the method of continuation was naturally in the blackstone ruins, except for the mutilated breathing method obtained from the ruins, Jiang Ming had never seen any other foundation-level martial arts cultivation methods.

If the Black Stone Ruins were a chaotic expedition by all immortal cultivators, Jiang Ming would naturally not even think about it, and would not have the idea of going out to explore at all, but now that the situation has changed, it is just a matter of competing on the same stage during the Qi training period......

"Then I'm going to be excited!" Jiang Ming's eyes blinked.

"With my current strength, the strength of the ninth layer of Qi cultivation plus the strength of the martial arts foundation, coupled with the ability to die, under the foundation, not to mention crushing all enemies, it can be regarded as invincible......

Jiang Ming estimated in his heart that although he was very confident in his own strength, maybe among the three great caves and six blessed lands, there were some outrageous demonic geniuses and rare secret treasures that could pose a personal threat to him...... It's better to be modest.

After a while, Jiang Ming's eyes finally flashed with a hint of determination, and he decided to participate in the turmoil.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and his own hole cards are deep enough, as long as he keeps a low profile, he rushes into the ruins in the crowd of people in the Qi training period, who can stop him in the ruins......

Gou Dao is not a dog, he has been dormant for decades, and it is time to make a move!

"Xiao Qianshan is also gradually in chaos, prepare for it in the past few days, sell what should be sold and buy what should be bought...... Then it's time to leave!"

Although there are still a few years before the ruins open, as an experienced old Goubi, Jiang Ming stepped on the Old Snake Gang a few days in advance, and now although he has not done it for a long time, this process is not unfamiliar at all, and the points that should be stepped on still have to be stepped on......

The next day, Jiang Ming cleaned up all the items in his cave, and this time even all the elixirs in the elixir garden were harvested, no matter what the outcome of the ruins turmoil was, in the short term...... He didn't plan to go back to Xiaoqianshan.

In the end, he stuffed the white ball, which had become more and more white and fat, into the spirit beast bag, and Jiang Ming left this cave mansion where he had lived for decades......

"Yue Daoyou, if you say goodbye today, I don't know what year or month!" Jiang Ming came to Yue Changmudong's mansion to say goodbye to this old friend.

Of course, he also had to divide his spirit stones and take them away......

In the past thirty years, Yue Changmu has also cultivated to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, and is ready to set off to go to the Black Stone Ruins to fight for the opportunity to build a foundation.

"It seems that this time, too

It's really a gathering of wind and clouds......"

Jiang Ming sighed with emotion, only a few of the few Xiao Qianshan Qi Cultivation Ninth Layers he knew, Feng He of Lingzhitang, Li Yuankang, winemaker, and Yue Changmu, talisman maker...... They are all preparing to go to the Black Stone Ruins to explore, and the immortal cultivation forces of the other parties are estimated to be similar.

This time, the entire Fire Domain, and even the many immortal cultivators outside the domain, are afraid that they will flock to it......

"But for me...... Naturally, the more people, the better!" Jiang Ming said in his heart, so that he can better blend in.

……

Round Valley City, Baitan Pavilion.

As soon as Jiang Ming walked in, a second-level Qi cultivator greeted him enthusiastically: "Master Jiang, there is another elixir for sale?"

"This time it's not just the elixir, but also some elixir, I'm looking for you Qin Shopkeeper!"

Jiang Mingtang said with a smile, in the past few decades, as the elixir he has practiced has gradually become famous, he doesn't always have to set up a stall, and cooperate with the Baidan Pavilion that sells the elixir to supply it, although the price is slightly lower, but it is better to save a lot of effort, saving Jiang Ming a lot of effort, and the cooperation between the two sides has always been pleasant.

Soon, an old man in a brocade robe walked out and said with a happy face, "Master Jiang has an elixir for sale? Take it out and pay a look at it, old man!"

Everyone knows that Jiang Ming is not only an alchemist, but also a master of a profound level of smoke and rain art, and the elixir cultivated must be of excellent quality, but he rarely sells it to the outside world, which makes many people regret it.

Jiang Ming smiled, didn't say much, and asked the shopkeeper Qin to find a quiet room, and the two walked in and closed the door.

Although he has cooperated with this Qin shopkeeper for a long time, and the other party is not a female evildoer, it is still an unchanging truth that wealth is not exposed......

In the quiet room, Jiang Ming looked left and right, and then raised his hand to brush it from the tabletop, and the elixirs were taken out from the storage ring and placed on the table together, and some were sealed in the jade box to avoid the leakage of spiritual energy...... There was a table full of all his inventory over the years.

As his cultivation grew to the ninth level of Qi cultivation, the effect of these elixirs on him was getting smaller and smaller, so it was better to sell them and replace them with spirit stones......

"This quality...... Tsk, worthy of Master Jiang!"

Shopkeeper Qin looked over one by one, his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and he couldn't put it down and picked up a bunch of yellow fruits: "The quality of this citrine fruit is flawless, and the size is also thirty percent larger than the normal spirit fruit...... It can also be used for alchemy to increase the rate of becoming a pill a lot, I can get thirty spirit stones, can Master Jiang still be satisfied?"

Jiang Ming nodded slightly, the normal citrine fruit was only a little more than twenty spirit stones, but the citrine fruit he cultivated with the smoke and rain technique every day was much stronger than ordinary elixir in terms of medicinal effect and appearance...... The price given by the shopkeeper Qin is also fair.

"Black Cloud Essence, this stem is as black as ink, and it contains no impurities...... It's amazing, I'm in need of high-quality Black Cloud Essence in this store, and I can produce fifty spirit stones!"

"The triple flower, in complete condition, without wilting, is rare...... How about three spirit stones each?"

Soon, all of Jiang Ming's elixirs were estimated by Qin's shopkeeper, and the total price was sold for more than seven hundred spirit stones, which could already be exchanged for an intermediate magic weapon.

"There are still some green jade lotus seeds, I wonder if the shopkeeper Qin has bought them?" Jiang Ming finally took out more than twenty dark green lotus seeds, each of which exuded a strong aura of aura.

In the past thirty years, his green jade lotus has also been harvested three times, and the number of lotus seeds harvested in each round has increased a lot, but there is no need to keep them all......

"Master Jiang still has this habit?" When the shopkeeper Qin saw this chicken rib thing, he couldn't cry or laugh a little: "This is a thirty-year-old green jade lotus seed, although the price is average, but your more than twenty pieces add up to a lot, how about counting your fifteen spirit stones?"

"Okay!"

Jiang Ming waved his hand casually, and complained in his heart that no one planted this thing in Xiaoqianshan, and the lotus seeds that had been harvested for thirty years, including the cost of time and energy, this profit was really not necessarily positive...... I can only look forward to waiting for this green jade lotus to be planted for a hundred years...... After transforming into a purple jade lotus, it can bring him some unexpected gains.

"Dare to ask Jiang Daoyou, are you going to ......" The two negotiated the transaction, and the atmosphere was relaxed, Shopkeeper Qin said in a low voice, pointing in the direction of the mountain.

Jiang Ming smiled: "Shopkeeper Qin is naturally more well-informed than me, and he has to understand that I can't afford to make a big mess with this kind of minor repair......

"Master Jiang is not a small cultivator...... Shopkeeper Qin hurriedly waved his hand, and then said with a somewhat solemn expression: "But the place under the mountain seems to be safe, but the place where the aura is thin is not a place where monks like us live for a long time, and I also have some backers behind the Baidan Pavilion, I don't know if Master Jiang is willing to join this pavilion, no matter what kind of turmoil, it will definitely bless Master Jiang's safety......

Jiang Ming was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that the other party had taken a fancy to his smoke and rain technique and alchemy ability, and wanted to take advantage of this turmoil to recruit people and expand his power.

Jiang Ming can also understand that the wealth is in danger, usually these loose cultivators are extremely scattered, and it is extremely difficult to solicit, and this kind of chaos is the best time to buy people's hearts......

However, no matter what backers there are behind this Baidan Pavilion, Jiang Ming is not very optimistic...... The turmoil at the level of Yudan, a small Baidan Pavilion is nothing.

Jiang Ming didn't even ask too much, he just waved his hand and refused, and quickly left after receiving the spirit stone.

"Even the Baidan Pavilion has begun to attract people, this little thousand mountains, I'm afraid that the dark tide is already surging......

Walking out of the Baidan Pavilion, Jiang Ming's heart was also in a pang, and he couldn't stay any longer.

He wandered around the market for a while, bought some escape talismans such as intermediate light talismans and earth walking talismans, and prepared to leave directly.

"Master Jiang?"

However, before Jiang Ming walked out of Fang City, he was blocked by a figure.

"Coincidentally, Master Jiang still has a Hui Qi Pill, how many bottles can he sell to his concubine?"

Jiang Ming looked at a graceful woman wearing a plain white gauze skirt in front of him, and his heart instantly became vigilant.

However, on the surface, Jiang Ming's expression remained unchanged, and he arched his hand and said, "It's really unfortunate that I've seen Luo Daoyou...... Today's elixirs have already been sold to the Baidan Pavilion, and tomorrow I will try to practice a few furnaces earlier, and I will definitely send them to Luo Daoyou's mansion in person."

"Thank you so much Master Jiang!" The woman in the white dress showed a look of surprise, a fair and beautiful face showed a pure and bright smile, and hurriedly walked up to Jiang Ming and bowed to thank her.

A wisp of women's fragrance suddenly entered Jiang Ming's nose, and the neckline of the other party's loose gauze skirt was lowered, and Jiang Ming's eyes were inadvertently white......

"Oops!" The woman in the white dress hurriedly covered her neckline, turned around and left with a slightly red face.

Jiang Ming stared at the back of the woman in the white dress expressionlessly, and then turned around and left in stride, flying directly down the mountain.

What will be delivered to the house tomorrow, to hell......

This woman's name is Luo Yanyue, and she is also a loose cultivator on Xiaoqing Peak, who came to Xiaoqianshan a few years ago, and occasionally asks Jiang Ming to buy elixirs.

However, Jiang Ming has always been respectful of this person, because although this Luo Yanyue is cultivating a rotten street technique called Chunmu Jue on the surface, which is half a catty and eight taels with the Five Yuan Jue, Jiang Ming's keen super sense and forbidden spirit seal can always feel a trace of loneliness and gray aura from this Luo Yanyue's body, just like the rotten leaves in the ground in autumn, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable......

Although the other party only had a sixth-level Qi cultivation level, Jiang Ming still maintained his vigilance and never had too much contact with her.

"Maybe it's also for this little Qianshan turmoil!" Jiang Ming said in his heart, but he is too lazy to guess, anyway, I am moist, you are free to ......

Leaving Xiaoqianshan, Jiang Ming directly sacrificed the spirit sword shuttle and sat on it, turning into a green rainbow that cut through the clouds and flew away.

"I don't know if this trip to the Blackstone Ruins will be able to build a foundation......

Looking at the flowing clouds beside him retreating rapidly, Jiang Ming was also in a state of flux.

Over the years, he has also collected a lot of codexes or notes related to foundation building, and has an understanding of the difficulty of foundation building.

In the dantian of every Qi cultivator, there is a vortex of spiritual power, constantly swallowing spiritual energy from heaven and earth to strengthen one's body.

And building a foundation is to compress and polish this spiritual power vortex, and finally build a "spiritual base", which becomes a more stable foundation for cultivating immortals, which is the foundation of immortal cultivators.

As the name suggests, building a foundation is like laying a foundation, which is the foundation for building an immortal road in the future

It is impossible to continue walking, and whether the foundation is good or not is also related to how far it can go in the future.

The method of building a foundation, in addition to the foundation building exercises, also needs to be tempered with time, or tempered in life and death, or assisted by a panacea...... There is not one in a hundred who can succeed.

"Now I don't even have a foundation-building exercise." Jiang Ming couldn't help but shake his head when he thought of this.

I hope that after entering the ruins, there will be some kind people to send him warmth......

Suddenly, Jiang Ming raised his eyebrows, turned his head to look, and several rainbow lights were faintly visible behind him.

"This hasn't gone far yet, and then there is another one to send warmth?"

"The speed of the yard is so fast, but it doesn't have to be warm......

Visible to the naked eye, those few rainbow lights were extremely fast, approaching Jiang Ming, obviously not here to chatter......

"Why do you encounter such a thing every time you go down the mountain?"

Jiang Ming slandered, but it was not surprising, every time he escaped, it was a time of chaos, and it was reasonable to meet these people who wanted to fish in troubled waters.

"Huh? Doesn't seem right...... The purple rainbow light at the front seems to be running for its life?"

Jiang Ming's eyes narrowed and relaxed slightly, it seemed that it was just the same direction...... He directly turned the direction of the Spirit Sword Shuttle and fled in the other direction, not bothering to pay attention to these troubles.

But soon, Jiang Ming's eyes were slightly downcast...... The purple rainbow light also reversed direction and rushed straight towards Jiang Ming.

"You want to bring the water to me? Okay, very good......"
