My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 84 Failed to Exchange for Foundation Establishment Pill

The seventh strand of stable magic power had just separated when it began to frantically absorb magic power.

The results of Jiang Chen's three hours of practicing his cultivation technique were completely absorbed by this wisp of magical power in a very short time.

At the same time, the other six strands of stable magic power also began to absorb the free magic power.

The cultivation speed of four times was indeed fast enough. In just half an hour, the first six strands of stable magic power stopped absorbing the free magic power.

Even the seventh strand of stable magic power, which had only recently taken shape, had grown to the thickness of a thread, and its speed of absorbing magic power had obviously decreased.

Subsequently, the Great Dream of a Thousand Autumns Technique began to operate on its own, guiding the temporarily unabsorbable magical power to circulate throughout the body's meridians and integrate into the flesh and blood.

As dawn broke, Jiang Chen woke up from his sleep.

At that moment, he felt incredibly energetic and full of power.

"What's going on? Something's not right with me! I just slept, it shouldn't have caused such a big change, right?"

He immediately examined his middle dantian and, upon seeing the seventh strand of stable magical power, suddenly understood.

"I actually broke through to the seventh level of Qi Refining while I was asleep! It even strengthened my physical body and soul, consolidating my cultivation. This technique is amazing!"

"Now that I've broken through to the seventh level of Qi Refining, my magical power and divine sense have both improved significantly. As a result, my skill in talisman-making should also see a considerable improvement."

"I could try entering a dream to see how many talismans I can draw."

"Besides, there's the matter of exchanging Foundation Establishment Pills. Given the nature of the direct line faction, they'll probably find another way to shirk responsibility."

But no matter what, if there's hope, we should give it a try.

Thinking of this, he immediately immersed his consciousness into his sea of ​​consciousness to check the status of the Dream Butterfly Diagram.

……

Number of Dream Butterflies: 3

[First Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%, Second Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%, Third Dream Butterfly Energy: 100%]

[Current number of dream visits: 3/3]

[The maximum time limit for simulating the future in a dream: 15 days and 3 hours (affected by the total amount of spiritual consciousness)]

Over the past year, Jiang Chen has not used the Taiyin Jade Marrow again, so his spiritual awareness has improved relatively slowly, and the time limit for simulating the future in his dreams has not increased much each time.

Even so, the three opportunities to enter the dream can be combined to enter the dream for more than a month and a half.

Knowing the future a month and a half in advance can save you a lot of trouble.

Jiang Chen immediately entered the dream to test his talisman-drawing skills.

-----------------

[First day of entering the dream]

Jiang Chen immediately set out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone and began to draw the most common golden sword talisman.

After breaking through to the sixth level of Qi Refining, his spiritual sense and magical power both improved significantly. In addition, with practice making perfect, his speed in drawing talismans increased considerably.

In just three hours, he had already used up forty talismans.

In the past, it would have taken four hours to complete.

Jiang Chen held the successfully drawn talisman in his hand and examined it carefully.

His face immediately lit up with joy: "Great! Out of forty talismans, thirty-three were successfully made, a success rate of over 80%."

Among them are five exquisite talismans, twenty good talismans, and only five common talismans. This is the first time I have drawn a high-grade first-class exquisite talisman.

This level of skill places him in the second tier among high-level first-grade talisman masters, second only to a few experts capable of drawing low-level second-grade talismans.

"My current level of spiritual awareness is not much worse than Black Wolf's, and should be able to surpass most Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators."

With this level of spiritual awareness, one could already attempt to draw a low-grade second-rank talisman, but one's cultivation level is still too low, making the hope of drawing a second-rank talisman slim.

"Don't rush this. Let's go to the Pill Hall first and see if we can exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Even if you only get a regular Foundation Establishment spiritual item in return, it's still well worth it.

With this in mind, Jiang Chen immediately boarded the Wind-Riding Boat and headed to the Pill Hall.

The alchemy profession is easy to get started but difficult to master. Even if a rogue cultivator knows alchemy, it is hard to earn spirit stones without a powerful backer.

Therefore, the alchemy hall of the Golden Cauldron Sect has always been under the control of the direct lineage.

The upper and middle levels are all filled with loyalists, and even among the lower-level alchemists, loyalists make up more than 50%.

The remaining alchemists were mostly neutral. As for outsiders, there were only a handful.

It's inevitable that visiting disciples will face difficulties when they go to exchange for elixirs.

The airship weaved through the mountains, and soon a gourd-shaped mountain peak appeared ahead.

This peak is called Gourd Peak, which is the location of the Golden Cauldron Sect's Pill Hall.

He descended from Hulu Peak and hiked towards the summit.

Just as I reached the halfway point of the mountain, I saw a group of people walking down the stone steps from the top of the mountain, cursing and swearing as they went.

Jiang Chen was about to go up and greet them, and ask what was going on.

Then a familiar face appeared – it was Qi Tingsong.

Jiang Chen immediately greeted him, "Senior Brother Qi, what are you doing here?"

Qi Tingsong sized up Jiang Chen, then cupped his hands and said, "Congratulations, Senior Brother Jiang, on breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining. Foundation Establishment is within reach."

Just then, a middle-aged cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining sighed, "So what if you're at the seventh level of Qi Refining? Even at the peak of Qi Refining, you can't get a Foundation Establishment Pill."

After saying that, he staggered down the path.

The expressions on this group of people's faces were very strange; some were dejected, while others were furious.

They didn't even glance at Jiang Chen before walking downstairs.

Jiang Chen was puzzled and asked, "Senior Brother Qi, are those bastards in the Pill Hall refusing to give us Foundation Establishment Pills again?"

Qi Tingsong's face was full of anger at the mention of this.

"Those bastards from the direct line are really worthless. We outsiders either risk our lives in Changyuan Mountain or work hard to produce resources."

They finally managed to gather 10,000 merit points, hoping to exchange them for a Foundation Establishment Pill, but they encountered numerous obstacles at every turn.

"There were no restrictions at the beginning, then it was only possible to exchange for it at the late stage of Qi Refining, and then at the peak of Qi Refining."

Now look what's happened, they're just saying they're out of stock. Even with all the merits, it's useless.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen was also furious: "Several of those bastards from the direct lineage have recently broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage. I don't believe they didn't use Foundation Establishment Pills."

"They've all lost all shame! Didn't those Qi Refining Peak senior brothers turn the Pill Hall upside down?"

Qi Tingsong sighed, "The Pill Hall has hired several Foundation Establishment cultivators to oversee things; who would dare cause trouble?"

"However, the direct line faction hasn't completely blocked the way. They say the higher-ups are discussing the Foundation Establishment Pill, and if they can reach an agreement, our outsider faction will never lack Foundation Establishment Pills again."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen immediately thought it was nonsense.

"Given the nature of the direct line faction, even if they had more Foundation Establishment Pills than they could use, they would rather eat them like candy than give us much."

"Seeing is believing, so I have to go up and take a look first, or I won't give up."

After saying that, he headed back up to the mountaintop, with Qi Tingsong following behind him.

He had just reached the end of the stone steps leading up the mountain when two Qi Refining Peak cultivators from the Pill Hall blocked his way.

"Foundation Building Pills are out of stock. Exchange is suspended. Do not bother us any further."

The people from the Pill Hall blocked his way, and Jiang Chen knew that he wouldn't be able to exchange for a Foundation Establishment Pill this time.

He tentatively asked, "I'd like to buy some Spirit Gathering Pills."

A disciple from the Pill Hall said irritably, "We're out of Spirit Gathering Pills too. Get out of here quickly."

Jiang Chen sighed, "I'm still accumulating merit points too slowly, and I've missed the opportunity to exchange them."

After saying that, he turned around and went down the stone steps.
