Several months passed.

Fang Xishi came out of seclusion.

Immediately, he learned two pieces of news, one good and one bad.

Ruan Dan successfully built the foundation and is already a monk in the early stages of foundation building.

In contrast, even with the help of the Foundation Building Pill, Wei Yixi failed to build the Foundation.

Of course, Wei Yixi's story to the outside world was that she received funding from Fang Xi and purchased a foundation-building spiritual object.

'Alas... they are just flowers in the greenhouse after all, they have not gone through hardship...'

Fang Xi held the wine glass and felt a little emotional.

Ruan Dan has better qualifications, he was reborn after a broken arm, his character has been tempered, and he even failed to build a foundation once...

These are all precious treasures in life experience. This time he got the Foundation Establishment Pill, and he was not surprised to be able to successfully build the Foundation.

However, Wei Yixi's conditions in all aspects were much worse. Fang Xi had already expected this result.

"Brother Fang, don't be discouraged... I think Yi Xi just has bad luck. With experience this time, if I buy a Foundation Establishment Pill for her in the future, maybe it will work..."

Opposite, Ruan Xingling held a white jade wine flask, poured a cup of peach blossom wine for Fang Xi, and spoke warmly to comfort her.

"Sigh... You can't make a thing out of nothing. I will never help her again in the future..."

Fang Xi sighed.

Although he still has a low-grade foundation-building pill in his hand, he is no longer ready to waste it on Wei Yixi.

Conditions arise and conditions end, conditions arise and conditions perish...

A genuine Foundation-Building Pill is enough to exhaust the love between him and Wei Yixi, and even Wei Yixin and his wife.

Ruan Xingling felt sorry for Wei Yixi inexplicably.

Without the help of this foundation-building uncle, the other party’s hope of being able to build a foundation in the future will become even slimmer.

‘However, there may not be no chance in this beast wave.’

Ruan Xingling smiled and said: "Brother Fang...our Alchemy Pavilion's business has been very good recently, and it has already received a thousand spiritual stones..."

There are always profits and losses in doing business. The Alchemy Pavilion had just opened before. In order to open up the situation, spread the reputation, lose money and make a profit, the income in the first year was only dozens of spirit stones.

Then it gradually increased to four to five hundred spiritual stones per year.

This income is actually quite good. After twenty years of accumulation, you can auction a Foundation Establishment Pill!

Fang Xi and Ruan Xingling's strength may not necessarily prevent them from opening a store in the inner city, but the competition will become more intense and the land rent will be more expensive...the profits will only be lower, and they may even lose money.

Even the Song family's Wanhai Tower is located in the outer city.

After weighing the balance, Ruan Xingling finally chose the original location of the Small Futang.

Facts have proved that her choice was correct, and she achieved annual profits without Fang Xi paying much attention.

At this time, he took advantage of the beast tide and made a lot of money.

"This is the spiritual stone I borrowed last time. I can finally pay it back."

Ruan Xingling smiled and pushed over a storage bag, which contained the spirit stones that Fang Xi lent last time.

The foundation-building spiritual object Ruan Dan used when he failed for the first time was purchased by Ruan Xingling at a big auction. For this purpose, he also borrowed a sum of spiritual stones from Fang Xi.

"Well... why should Xingling be so polite to me?"

Fang Xi collected the storage bag without looking at it carefully.

……

Ruan Dan successfully built the foundation and is currently in retreat to stabilize his cultivation, so he went to see Wei Yixi.

In the guest room of the cave, Wei Yixi looked pale and haggard, looking like he was losing energy and blood: "Uncle... I'm sorry..."

"It doesn't matter, you just need to recuperate now."

Fang Xi warmly comforted her.

"I will definitely return those five thousand spiritual stones." Wei Yixi looked determined.

"There's no need to worry. Yixi, if you fail to build the foundation this time, you will have passed the sixty-year limit. Have you thought about the future?"

Fang Xi asked softly: "With your animal control skills and veterinary skills, you can have a place no matter where you go...and it's time for you to think about marriage. Do you have someone you like?"

Well, for immortal cultivators, sixty is not old at all, and they can still have children.

In fact, many monks are determined to have a great career and do not even think about getting married before the age of sixty. Many of them only start to consider starting a family after they turn sixty and have no hope of a great career.

If Wei Yixi later gets married, has children, and establishes a family, Fang Xi will not have to worry about the debt going bad.

Anyway, mother's debt is repaid by her son, and her son's debt is repaid by her grandson. The so-called descendants and grandsons are endless...

He is also absolutely confident that he can slowly recoup his investment from generation to generation and live until that time!

"No..."

Wei Yixi's head is drooped, and the roots of her ears are slightly red.

……

"Alas..."

After leaving Wei Yixi's room, Fang Xi sighed.

At this time in Taohua Pavilion, Ruan Xingling had already returned to Bibo Cave, and Jin Ling and Wei Yixi were both in their respective rooms.

He thought for a moment and waved a few formation flags.

A layer of hazy mist emerged, covering the courtyard, especially the pond. Layers of mist were shrouded in it, with runes swimming in it.

"Daqing..."

Fang Xi whistled, and a big herring that looked like a catfish immediately jumped onto the shore.

"I think I said before that I haven't advanced in many years, so I just stewed you, right?"

He looked at the big herring with a thoughtful look on his face.

The big herring was so frightened that its eyes widened, trying to tell the truth that the time had not come yet.

'Sigh... It turns out that I can't advance even if I'm scared, but judging from its demonic aura, it has already reached the peak of the first level, and is only one step away from breaking through.'

‘Now that the beast tide is approaching, all aspects of strength must be improved.’

Fang Xi flipped it over and took out the water-attributed blue demon pill.

He only consumed one demon pill in his last elixir refining, and the remaining one was just for use here.

When the big herring saw the demon pill in his hand, his eyes suddenly widened, filled with some kind of longing.

"If you swallow this demon pill and you still cannot advance to the second level, I will turn you into a salted fish!"

After threatening, Fang Xi threw her palm.

The water attribute demon pill turned into a bright arc and entered the mouth of the big herring.

The big herring swallowed the demon pill and immediately started refining it.

Immediately afterwards, the azure demonic energy on its body flashed wildly, it twisted uneasily, rubbed its body... and fell off one fish scale after another.

Boom!

Suddenly, a wave of demonic energy soared into the sky, and was covered by layers of formations, so that the outside world could not feel much fluctuation.

The caves in the inner city of Bai Zexian City have spiritual energy at the second level, which is enough for monks to use it to attack and build foundations.

The aura of Peach Blossom Pavilion is at the middle level of the second level, and it is also helpful for monsters to attack the second level.

Fang Xi's expression remained unchanged and she waited quietly.

Wow!

The big herring turned over and fell into the pond, causing countless splashes.

A few hours later, a three-foot-long green monster jumped out of the pond and soared in the air.

Second-level monsters can basically fly.

Fang Xi showed a hint of satisfaction and looked around.

After the advanced stage, the big herring is more than three feet long, with a body of nearly ten meters as thick as a bucket, covered with blue scales, like a big blue water snake.

Moreover, it retains the sickle-shaped pectoral fins and pelvic fins, which look like the four legs of a dragon, and there is a small horn protruding from the head.

"Second level... Green-horned Fish Dragon... Awakening of the innate magic skill - Soaring Cloud Technique... It's barely bad."

Fang Xi couldn't help but nodded with satisfaction.

This blue-horned ichthyosaur is said to be a dragon, but in fact it is still a fish monster, but its appearance looks powerful enough, like a green dragon, so it is quite honorable to use it for transportation.

"Daqing!"

Fang Xi called out.
