Chapter 345 Not Enough Materials
And the other side.
Yun Chen and Zhao Xiruo were unaware of this.
After a brief moment of affection, they began to plan for what to do next.
There is only half a month left, and they must improve their cultivation within half a month.
In this damn place, strength is the only thing that matters.
Even if there is no qualifying competition, improving strength is still a must.
The only benefit now is that he can use the resources of the Divine Thunder Palace to improve his strength.
No need to worry about resource issues.
"Yun Chen, it seems we don't have enough materials to set up the defensive formation."
Yun Chen was busy setting up a defensive formation, and Zhao Xiruo helped him.
At this moment, Zhao Xiruo's voice suddenly came.
Yun Chen stopped what he was doing and walked over. The materials he took from the Gu family and Zhou family treasure houses were placed one by one in the bedroom.
"It seems to be true."
Looking at the missing materials, Yun Chen couldn't help but rub his forehead.
Although he had collected quite a few things, most of them were elixirs and techniques... There weren't many things needed to set up formations.
"Looks like I have to look for Murong Xue."
Yun Chen sighed and spoke.
Although the Shenlei Palace will not do anything to them for the time being, they must still be on guard. Before deciding to improve their strength, they must first ensure their own safety.
Besides, he has many secrets that he doesn't want others to know.
"How about I use the Hunyuan Pearl?"
"No." Zhao Xiruo said tentatively, but before she could finish, she was interrupted by Yun Chen.
"The Hunyuan Pearl must not be exposed."
Although the Hunyuan Pearl can isolate itself from the outside world and form a protective barrier, the crisis is still not small.
Once Lei Miaoyun knew that the Hunyuan Pearl was on Zhao Xiruo, it would probably bring her a devastating disaster, which was definitely not what Yun Chen wanted to see.
"Yun Chen!"
Just as the two were talking, Murong Xue's voice came from the door.
Yun Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, he gave Zhao Xiruo a soothing look, turned around and opened the bedroom door.
Murong Xue was standing outside the door, holding a heavy storage bag. When she saw him open the door, she handed the bag over to him. "These are the cultivation resources I prepared for you. If you need anything else, just let me know... I'll bring it to you later."
Yun Chen took the storage bag, and as soon as his fingertips touched the opening of the bag, he could feel the rich spiritual energy fluctuations inside.
After a brief investigation, he found that not only were there missing basic materials, but there were also several rare minerals that could strengthen the formation.
He raised his eyes and looked at Murong Xue: "How do you know I need these?"
"Isn't it normal for cultivators to set up formations to avoid being disturbed while they're practicing? There are also some spiritual medicines... I think you might need them too."
Murong Xue's tone was calm, but her eyes unconsciously swept over Zhao Xiruo in the bedroom with a complicated look: "The materials have been delivered to you. Is there anything else you need?"
Yun Chen shook his head, suddenly remembering something, and asked again, "By the way, does the Divine Thunder Palace have the recipe for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"
"Foundation Pill?"
Murong Xue looked at Yun Chen strangely, and suddenly realized something. She glanced at Zhao Xiruo beside her meaningfully.
"Yes, I do, but... can you make pills? Why don't you go to the alchemy room and get one yourself, and say that Master asked you to take it."
Alchemists are a scarce resource no matter where they are, not to mention things like Foundation Establishment Pills... which ordinary alchemists may not be able to refine well.
"So best."
Yun Chen thought about it and nodded.
It would be best to have a finished product so that he doesn't have to do it himself.
Ruoruo is now at the peak of Qi training... If she wants to break through to the foundation building stage, it would be best to take the foundation building pill.
It was prepared for him by his master at that time, and he had never refined it himself.
Seeing him agree, Murong Xue turned around and was about to leave, but she paused and turned back, her voice very low: "The alchemy room is in the west wing. Ask Elder Liu to lead you there. Just tell him my name. Also... don't let her leave the bedroom alone for the time being."
Yun Chen's heart trembled. Murong Xue's words clearly had a hidden meaning. He was about to ask more questions when the other party had already quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
"Yun Chen, what did she mean by that just now?"
Zhao Xiruo walked up to Yun Chen, her tone a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
Yun Chen handed her the storage bag and said, "Please organize the materials for the formation first. I'll go to the alchemy room and be back soon. Remember, don't open the door until I come back, no matter who knocks."
Zhao Xiruo nodded in agreement. Yun Chen gave her a few more instructions before turning around and leaving the bedroom.
The layout of the Shenlei Palace was magnificent. When Yun Chen followed the disciples' instructions and found the west wing, a rich medicinal fragrance was wafting outside the alchemy room.
An old man with a goatee was sitting on a stone bench at the door pounding medicine. It was Elder Liu.
"Elder Liu, I am Yun Chen, a junior, and I am here to receive a foundation-building pill on the orders of Senior Sister Murong Xue." Yun Chen bowed.
Elder Liu glanced up at him, and seeing that he was only at the early stage of the Golden Core stage, he frowned slightly. "That girl Murong Xue? Why didn't she come herself? And you... why haven't I seen you before?"
"I have just joined the Divine Thunder Palace and am the master's last disciple... so..."
"So you are the genius who attracted the Nine-fold Thunder Tribulation?"
Elder Liu paused with the pestle in his hand and looked Yun Chen up and down. The contempt in his eyes faded a little, but became more inquiring. "Nothing special!"
Yun Chen touched his nose awkwardly.
"By the way, you've already reached the Golden Core stage, so why would you need a Foundation Establishment Pill? I don't think you'll need one, do you?"
Elder Liu raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked.
"Juniors have their own uses." Yun Chen said lightly without further explanation.
Elder Liu didn't ask any more questions after hearing this. He stood up and patted the medicine powder on his body: "Follow me."
Yun Chen followed Elder Liu into the alchemy room, where a stronger aroma of medicine hit his face. The shelves were filled with labeled medicine bottles and pottery jars, and the alchemy furnace in the center was still emitting wisps of green smoke.
Elder Liu walked to a wooden cabinet, took out a jade bottle engraved with cloud patterns, and handed it to Yun Chen: "This is a top-grade foundation-building pill. It is 30% more powerful than ordinary medicinal pills and can increase the probability of success in foundation-building..."
Yun Chen took the jade bottle and felt a warm touch on his fingertips. He could clearly sense the pure spiritual energy contained within. He immediately bowed and thanked him, "Thank you, Elder Liu."
"Thanks are unnecessary."
Elder Liu waved his hand, his tone softening slightly. "The Sect Leader has always had a sharp eye. Since I've accepted you, you should cultivate well and don't bring shame to the Divine Thunder Palace. By the way, the qualifying competition is coming soon. If you need any auxiliary pills, you can come to me and get them."
Yun Chen's heart moved, and just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden noise outside the alchemy room.
A young man in a purple Taoist robe rushed in quickly. Seeing Elder Liu, he shouted, "Elder Liu... Is my foundation-building pill ready? The qualifying competition is about to begin, and I'm about to reach the foundation-building stage... I can't delay."
As the young man spoke, his eyes swept over Yun Chen, and when he saw that he was holding the bottle of Foundation Establishment Pills, his brows immediately furrowed.
