Building a foundation (seeking recommendations, seeking collections)

  Hope for more powerful recommendations to further boost the ranking of Super Enlightenment on the Immortal Hero public list, and also hope for collection, today's goal is 300 collections.

  Zhang Ziyin said, "Not bad, last time I came, the Nine-turn Jade Lingzhi hadn't reached maturity yet, but now it's just ripe. Junior brother, wait here for a moment, I'll go pick the fruit." Zhang Ziyin walked step by step to the front of the Nine-turn Jade Lingzhi, being extremely cautious. Jiang He carefully stared at the space around the Nine-turn Jade Lingzhi and saw that threads of blood-colored lines suddenly appeared out of thin air, these lines converged towards one place as soon as they appeared.

  As expected! But seeing those lines converge, a complete spirit symbol was formed, and streaks of blood-colored lightning appeared above the symbol. The electric snake flashed and rushed towards Zhang Ziyin.

  Zhang Ziyu had long been prepared, and the small tower in his hand flew up, emitting wave after wave of ripples that blocked the blood-colored electric snakes. However, the electric snakes did not disperse on these ripples, but instead, the ripples emitted by the small tower gradually disappeared.

  Zhang Ziyi was shocked, not expecting such a result. With a flick of his finger, a ball of pure spiritual energy burst open and struck the electric snakes. The electric snakes were knocked back, and after they retreated, the surrounding void twisted and turned, forming many blood-colored spirit symbols. These symbols exploded, and even more blood-colored electric snakes descended densely.

  Zhang Ziyu was shocked and was about to make another move when he heard Jiang He shouting, "Senior brother, don't use your magical powers to attack it, or else the electric snakes will only multiply."

  Zhang Ziyue's heart moved, and he said, "So that's how it is." From then on, he no longer paid attention to the blood-colored electric snakes, letting them fall on his body as he reached out to take the Nine-Curve Jade Lingzhi. The electric snakes struck Zhang Ziyue's body, making a sizzling sound.

  Jiang was shocked in his heart, the spiritual fluctuations brought about by these blood-colored electric snakes showed the power of a second-order spirit symbol, and Zhang Zixin actually relied solely on his physical strength to withstand these attacks.

  "Senior brother's physical body is as strong as a third-grade treasure!" Jiang He exclaimed.

  "Hahaha, this is the power of my Golden Jade Sacred Body that I've been cultivating!" Zhang Ziyue said with a smile, plucking the Nine-Curve Jade Lingzhi and putting it into his storage bag.

  "Junior brother, our great achievement is complete! Let's head directly to the second floor teleportation array." Zhang Ziyue smiled and said.

  "With your strength, Senior Brother, you can come and go freely in this second layer. Why not look for some spiritual fruits?" Jiang He asked.

  "Lingguo is good, but it's not what I need. Why bother to take the trouble to get something I don't need?" Zhang Zixin smiled and said: "If you like it, brother, you can pick some more on the way."

  Jiang He smiled and said: "Since Shixiong says so, then I'll take some more." He didn't stand on ceremony either. Along the way, with Zhang Ziyin guarding them, they obtained quite a few spiritual fruits and medicinal materials.

  In the second layer of Qianji Cave Mansion, the two had been staying for many days and often encountered other people, but these people did not meet each other and hid separately. Zhang Ziyang said: "Within the first twenty days, everyone searched for what they needed, but in the last ten days, it was extremely dangerous, those who didn't get any benefits and some vicious people would do things like murder and robbery."

  "So that's how it is." Jiang He understood in his heart. He knew that with his current cultivation, he was definitely an object of envy for everyone on the second floor of the Qianji Cave Mansion.

  "The portal has arrived." The two walked on and saw a large hall in front of them, exactly the same as the first floor of Qianji Cave Mansion. "Senior brother, let's leave from here."

  "How can there be so many people." Jiang He Yi stepped into the grand hall, but found that in this grand hall, there were actually over a hundred people, and his heart was shocked.

  "Haha, Zhang Shixiong, you've finally arrived! We've been waiting for you for a long time!" someone laughed loudly. Jiang He heard the sound and looked over to find that it was an acquaintance, Mu Tiezhu. Around Mu Tiezhu were gathered more than thirty people, but each of them looked dispirited, as if they had lost their vitality.

  "Mu Shidi, what's going on? The second floor of the Qianji Cave Mansion isn't that treacherous. With your cultivation, how did each and every one of you suffer serious injuries?" Zhang Ziyin asked in puzzlement.

  "Senior brother, you don't know this, but the higher one's cultivation is, the stronger the restrictive attacks they face in the Thousand Machine Cavern. You currently only have a sixth-layer Qi Refining cultivation, so the restrictive attacks you face are extremely weak. It's easy for you to gain an advantage. Where can we understand our difficulties?" Mu Tiezhu said with a sullen expression.

  "So that's how it is. I said the restrictions here are much weaker than when I came last time, haha." Zhang Zixin laughed and said: "Are you fellow junior brothers not leaving yet? We're going to take a step ahead of you."

  "Senior brother, don't go! We've been waiting for you with great difficulty. It's just that we have a good thing to give to senior brother!" Mu Tiezhu hastily said: "Twelve mature Foundation Establishment Fruits!"

  Listening to Mu Tiezhu's words, even Jiang He was shocked. Although he didn't know what most of the spiritual fruits were used for, but as for the Foundation Establishment Fruit, it was like a thunderclap in his ears, this top-grade medicinal material that was often mentioned by Qi Refining stage disciples.

  No other reason, just because the foundation fruit is the main medicine of the foundation pill. Since the foundation fruit became the main medicine of the foundation pill, its original name was ignored and it was called the foundation fruit. One foundation fruit can be refined into eight foundation pills, now twelve foundation fruits have appeared at once, the temptation is great!

  As expected, Zhang Zixin also fell into deep thought after hearing Mu Tiezhu's words. Although he didn't need the foundation-establishing pills himself, having them would be useful for giving to others in the future. After a moment, Zhang Zixin asked, "How many can I get?"

  "We'll split the remaining amount with Zhang Shixiong," Mu Tiezhu said with a smile. As soon as he spoke, the disciples behind him exclaimed in surprise. Mu Tiezhu's gaze swept across them, his eyes flashing with a fierce light, and they immediately shut their mouths.

  Zhang Ziyue smiled and said: "It seems that this foundation fruit is not easy to pick, okay, I promise you, when will we go?"

  "The sooner the better, go now, I'm afraid if we're late, the foundation will be taken away by others." Mu Tiezhu heard Zhang Zixin's response and felt a sense of relief in his heart.

  "You three come with me, the others will wait here." Mu Tiezhu pointed to three people who looked more spirited and then turned to Zhang Ziyang with a smile: "Zhang Shixiong, do you want to bring Jiang Shidi along?"

  Zhang Zizai looked at Jiang He, and Jiang He smiled: "I think it's still safer to follow Brother Zhang together." Mu Tiezhu laughed loudly: "Then you'd better be careful, Lan Wenhao is also following Lin Qingye to take the Zhuji fruit, and you'll definitely meet Lan Wenhao later."

  Jiang He smiled faintly and said, "No need for Master Mo to worry."

  Mu Tiezhu's face flashed with surprise, but he burst out laughing: "Indeed, it's that somewhat stubborn Jiang He. Let's go." Mu Tiezhu and Zhang Zixin set off together, and along the way, he explained the situation at Zhugiji. It turned out that around Zhugiji, there were three layers of restrictions, and most people were trapped in the first layer, unable to move forward.

  Jiang He and the other three walked behind, these three people talked to each other, completely excluding Jiang He, and looked at Jiang He with a condescending attitude. Thinking of their previous flattery towards Mu Tiezhu, Jiang He despised them from the bottom of his heart. Such behavior, what's the difference between them and those sycophants in the secular world?

  Mu Tiezhu led the way, and several people walked extremely fast. After turning over a patch of blood-colored palm trees, they saw a very open flat ground. On this flat ground, various blood-colored grasses and woods were cleared to the ground, only revealing a patch of blood-colored grass in the middle, as well as twelve crystal-clear, fragrant blood-red spirit fruits among the grass. The fragrance of these spirit fruits could be clearly smelled even from a hundred meters away. These were the twelve foundation-establishing fruits that Mu Tiezhu had mentioned.

  With the twelve Foundation Fruits as the center, there were no less than a hundred cultivators surrounding them. These cultivators wore different attire and had strong auras, each wary of one another. It was clear that the appearance of the Foundation Fruits had attracted nearly all of the powerful cultivators in the second layer of the Thousand Machine Sect's headquarters.

  Among these cultivators, Jiang He caught sight of Lan Wenhao at a glance. Lan Wenhao was following closely behind Lin Qingye, and the two were very close to the Foundation Establishment stage. As if sensing that someone's gaze was fixed on him, Lan Wenhao suddenly turned his head, and his eyes met Jiang He's. A strong killing intent rose between their gazes.
