Everyone is Cultivating Immortals in the Wasteland, My Cave is Full of Goddesses

42: Selling inferior foundation-building pillsLi Ye, dressed in a Daoist robe, strolled through the Oasis and found an original inhabitant wearing similar attire.

However, Li Ye’s Daoist robe was a darker color.

This original inhabitant was a woman of above-average looks, with a cultivation of roughly Qi Refining Stage Fourth Level.

She seemed to be performing a task alone.

Upon seeing Li Ye, she immediately knelt on one knee and respectfully said, ”Greetings, Senior Brother.”

Li Ye felt a little confused internally; it seemed the original inhabitant he killed last time held a significant position within the Dragon Slaying Sect.

”Hmm, how has the Dragon Slaying Sect been recently? I’ve been away for a while. Has the Sect Master broken through to the Golden Core Stage?” Li Ye asked casually.

”This... we are Outer Sect Disciples; these matters are kept secret from us. Senior Brother, as an Inner Sect Disciple, you can go ask the other Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters...”

”Is that so...?”

This is the Dragon Slaying Sect’s territory; conflicts are bound to arise sooner or later. The news of the Dragon Slaying Sect’s Sect Master breaking through to the Golden Core Stage hasn’t spread yet, which means he’s currently at the Foundation Establishment Peak... Should I go ahead and...

”No, I must wait until my strength increases. Besides, since Cultivating in the Wasteland is a game,

then logically speaking, at present, most people are in the Qi Refinement Stage and won’t be targeted by a force that is about to reach the Golden Core Stage. Otherwise, there would be no game experience at all...

Moreover, if a conflict occurs, it will definitely be a major event, perhaps even prompting everyone like the Blood Moon Day. It would be much easier if these original resident were viewed as NPCs controlled by a mastermind.”

Simply put, Li Ye felt that confronting the original resident was beyond his current capabilities, so he believed that during this period, enemies from the original resident’ side were still safe.

He would eventually confront them once he became stronger.

After thinking, he killed this original inhabitant with a sword, obtaining an Outer Sect Disciple’s Daoist robe, some Spirit Stones, and a female corpse.

It was already late. He put everything into his Storage Pouch and left by flying on his sword.

Li Ye returned to his Immortal Cave and, as usual, refined pills to earn Spirit Stones. He was supporting more and more girls, but thankfully, it was all profitable. Once Liu Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaoxue were successfully ’conquered,’ he would receive daily rewards.

After dinner, Li Ye finished refining all the Wash Marrow Pills and Mind Gathering Pills he needed. His success rate for refining Wash Marrow Pills and Mind Gathering Pills had now reached over 70%, meaning he could refine two portions from three sets of ingredients, which was highly efficient.

Afterward, he planned to plant the Ice Spirit Flower seeds in the spiritual field.

However, he was informed:

”This spiritual field is currently planted with rice, tomatoes, and spiritual fruit trees; the space is full.”

”Full?”

Li Ye clicked his tongue.

Helpless, he could only first take out the Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients he had purchased from the trading market and refine them one by one.

However, to his regret,

”Obtained Inferior Foundation Establishment Pill × 5, Obtained Ordinary Foundation Establishment Pill × 1, Obtained Waste Pill × 40.”

”Sigh, if these Foundation Establishment Pills were sold on the trading market, I could definitely earn a fortune, but right now, they’re useless to me.”

Li Ye thought for a moment, wondering whether he should sell these Foundation Establishment Pills.

Mainly, only he and Xiao Yan could refine Foundation Establishment Pills at the moment.

And both had agreed not to let the Pill Formula spread; once it spread, the value of Foundation Establishment Pills would decrease.

However, selling Foundation Establishment Pills was not explicitly forbidden.

But if he sold them, his cultivation ranking would drop.

Li Ye opened the cultivation ranking.

There were already four or five people tied for first place, all at Qi Refining Peak (100%).

Li Ye, Buddha Dragon Child, Solomon, as well as Xiao Yan, and Han Li...

”Never mind, I’ll put them up for sale first. Those who achieve Human Foundation Establishment with Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills should not be a threat.”

Thinking this, he immediately listed them in his shop.

”Seven Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills, offering a chance to break through to Human Foundation Establishment. Ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones per pill.”

Li Ye immediately set an exorbitant price.

Many people followed his shop. As soon as he listed them, comments flooded in.

”Holy moly, Li Ye the big shot can already refine Foundation Establishment Pills! But what do Inferior Foundation Establishment Pill and Human Foundation Establishment mean?”

”It should be the Rank of Foundation Establishment. But since Li Ye the big shot can list these Foundation Establishment Pills, yet his cultivation is still at Qi Refining Stage Tenth Level, it means these Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills are not what Li Ye the big shot wants to consider.”

”The price is too expensive! Ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones? Why not just rob someone?”

”Bro, whoever gets a Foundation Establishment Pill now has a chance to claim the top spot on the cultivation leaderboard! Don’t you understand the value of that? How many young ladies and married women will be sending Fellow Daoist requests then?”

”You’re right. I once played a game and got a national top 50 ranking with a character, then ’fished’ for a young loli.”

”A character wants to fish for a young loli? You should be fishing for snails!”

”I’ll take it! I’m already at Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level. If I can break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage with a Foundation Establishment Pill, I’ll definitely make people look at me in a new light.”

...

Li Ye already had some orders, but not many. Few people had ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones saved up.

Just then, something amusing happened.

Xiao Yan’s shop also listed Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills, about twenty of them, and each pill was sold for ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, just like Li Ye’s.

This showed that Xiao Yan was quite sensible.

Of course, this was in Li Ye’s eyes.

In everyone else’s eyes, Xiao Yan and Li Ye were both unscrupulous merchants colluding with each other.

At the same time, in the center of the third sub-area of the 113th major area.

The center of the third sub-area had a large mountain. Around this mountain, a five-meter-high iron fence was built. This area had been taken over by the strongest person in the third sub-area, the Dragon Emperor, who had established a Sect called the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

He saw Li Ye’s and Xiao Yan’s shops at this time and was very conflicted, so he called a Sect meeting.

After everyone was present, the Dragon Emperor said, ”You should all know about Eternal Night’s and Xiao Yan’s shops simultaneously releasing Foundation Establishment Pills, right?”

Everyone nodded and whispered, most of them complaining about the high prices and calling them unscrupulous merchants.

”Now, our Heavenly Dragon Sect urgently needs a Foundation Establishment expert to represent us. I plan to gather the entire Sect’s power to Cultivate a Human Foundation Establishment expert. Who is willing?

Of course, everyone must contribute to the cultivation expenses.”

Most of the people were at Qi Refining Stage Seventh Level to Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level, considered relatively excellent players in the entire Wasteland world, so they all hesitated.

As for information about Foundation Establishment, the kind-hearted Buddha Dragon Child had already spread it a day ago.

So everyone vaguely knew that Foundation Establishment was divided into three Ranks: trash, ordinary, and Genius.

”Lord Dragon Emperor, let me achieve Foundation Establishment.” A player at Qi Refining Stage Ninth Level came before the Dragon Emperor and said.

”Here are 10 Mid-Grade Spirit Stones, fifteen thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and three Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills.”

That player absorbed the Low-Grade Spirit Stones and broke through to Qi Refining Stage Tenth Level Peak.

”Lord Dragon Emperor, with three Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills, there’s only a 30% chance of a Breakthrough.” His face stiffened.

Anger welled up in his heart.

”Damn you, Li Ye! Damn you, Xiao Yan! You two dog-and-bitch couple, why didn’t you make this clear!”

He couldn’t bear to buy two more.

Fortunately, the Heavenly Dragon Sect had enough members, and he had oppressed many other players, so the entire Sect was wealthy enough.

”Quickly try to break through! If you fail, I’ll kill you to vent my anger!” the Dragon Emperor roared.

That player’s face stiffened, and he swallowed the five Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills.

Lady Luck was on this player’s side.

He broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

”Global Announcement: Congratulations to Liu He for becoming the first Cultivator to break through to Human Foundation Establishment! Liu He is rewarded with ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.”

Li Ye, meanwhile, continued to refine pills and occasionally checked the ranking.

”Oh, wow, a Human Foundation Establishment already appeared so quickly.”

Does that mean Earth Foundation Establishment and Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment will also have global announcements then?

Li Ye felt a slight anticipation.

The first place on the cultivation ranking also replaced Li Ye, becoming Liu He.

And soon, it was midnight.

Li Ye’s and Xiao Yan’s Inferior Foundation Establishment Pills had already sold out.

On the cultivation ranking, many unknown Cultivators appeared.

They were almost all the ’faces’ put forward by various Sects.

However, on the combat power ranking, it was still Li Ye and his group.

Players with Human Foundation Establishment were ranked outside the top thirty on the combat power ranking.

”So, Human Foundation Establishment is really weak, huh? Good thing I didn’t break through back then.”

Li Ye comforted himself.
