Jia Xing Tian: I, Will Never Regret It!

After Su Luo took out the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and handed it to Yun Yun and the others, Yun Yun immediately condensed her voice into a line and transmitted her words to the Misty Cloud Sect across from the Imperial Capital.

Very soon, a Dou Wang from the Misty Cloud Sect flew straight to the Alchemist Guild's plaza.

"Greetings, Sect Leader."

The Dou Wang immediately saluted Yun Yun. Soon, three bottles of Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, supported by wind-attributed Dou Qi, flew before him, accompanied by Yun Yun's indifferent voice.

"This medicine is called Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Adding it to warm water can speed up the cultivation of those in the Dou Qi stage. It is most effective for those below the eighth stage Dou Qi. Give one of these three bottles to Yanran, and select outstanding disciples to use the other two."

Yun Leng was stunned as he listened to Yun Yun. "Sect Leader, can something like this really increase the cultivation speed of those in the Dou Qi stage?"

"Hehe, if you're worried, have Gu He take a look at it," Master Fama said with a smile after Yun Leng finished speaking.

In Master Fama's eyes, this was undoubtedly made by that old gentleman who had taught him. He had immense confidence in that old gentleman, so he immediately vouched for Su Luo without even examining it.

"Master Fama, this..."

Yun Leng stared at the bottles containing the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, filled with shock. In the Gamma Empire, there had never been any shortcut to Dou Qi cultivation. Yet the appearance of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid had shattered this ironclad rule. If it could be mass-produced...

Just as Yun Leng began considering analyzing the ingredients of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Master Fama's voice made him feel as though he had fallen into an ice cellar. "Do not even think about prying into an alchemist's formula. Although this formula was brought out by this young friend, the one who developed it was not him. If you truly provoke that old gentleman's wrath, I fear the entire Misty Cloud Sect may be destroyed because of it."

"Yes, Master Fama. I would never dare covet a formula," Yun Leng hurriedly saluted and apologized, sensing that Master Fama had seen through his thoughts. He also stated that he would not act rashly.

"It's good that you understand."

Master Fama said nothing further. Some matters only needed a reminder. If they continued courting death after that, Yun Yun would have no choice but to clean house.

After Yun Leng left with the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid, Lion King Yan Shi and Wind Walker Feng Li each handed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid in their possession to Dou Ling experts from their families, instructing them to give it to the family's foremost geniuses to speed up their cultivation.

Once everything had been arranged, the group mounted a Flying Magical Beast and headed for Canaan Academy.

On the second day after the Flying Magical Beast set off for Canaan Academy, Jia Xing Tian, the guardian of the Gamma Empire's imperial family, arrived at the Alchemist Guild.

"Old Fama, what's the deal with that Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid? Is there really a medicine in this world that can speed up the cultivation of practitioners below the Dou stage?"

The moment Jia Xing Tian entered Master Fama's chairman's office, he immediately questioned him about the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid. Clearly, within the Imperial Capital, Jia Xing Tian's sources were frighteningly well-informed.

Even though Yun Leng and the others were not the sort to spread word of the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid everywhere, news of it still failed to remain hidden even for a day.

"Hehe, of course it's real. Haven't I told you before? Su Luo's teacher is anything but ordinary. If someone else brought out a Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid that could assist those in the Dou Qi stage with cultivation, and that even a second- or third-tier alchemist could refine, I would certainly call it impossible. But that old gentleman is a miracle in himself."

Jia Xing Tian frowned. "Old Fama, just who is Su Luo's teacher? How can he earn such praise from you?"

"Hehe, I don't know either. But when I was young, I met that old gentleman once. With only three days of casual guidance from him, my Alchemy Skill advanced by leaps and bounds, reaching my current level."

"After that, I passed on what that old gentleman taught me to Gu He. Gu He's talent far surpasses mine, so I merely relayed that old gentleman's teachings to him word for word and imitated, as best I could, that old gentleman's miraculous method of controlling fire. Gu He learned only a little of that old gentleman's fire-control method, yet he had already become the current Pill King."

"Hiss..." Jia Xing Tian sucked in a sharp breath.

Listening to Master Fama, he suddenly recalled something. Back then, when Pill King Gu He became the champion of that Gamma Empire Alchemist Convention, he had relied on fire-control abilities that eclipsed everyone else at the event. And the source of those abilities had actually been Su Luo's teacher. How could Jia Xing Tian not be shocked?

Seeing Jia Xing Tian's stunned expression, Master Fama smiled. "What, regretting it? It's not too late if you want to go now. They traveled by Flying Magical Beast. Although that beast is a fourth-tier creature, you can easily catch up in just a day with your speed. You could even wait for them at the Gamma Empire's border."

After Master Fama finished speaking, Jia Xing Tian thought for a moment before shaking his head. "Regret? How could that be? Old Fama, you underestimate this old man's magnanimity."

Though he was deeply shocked by the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid and Su Luo's teacher, Jia Xing Tian was, after all, someone who had clearly recognized Xiao Yan's talent in the original story but stubbornly refused to help him or even speak up for him. He would never betray his title as the Top of the Four Wastes of the Gamma Empire.

He could befriend a genius, and he could even send his granddaughter to befriend that genius, but he would never place himself or the imperial family in danger to befriend one, even if that danger was not particularly great.

"Ah, you old fellow. After all these years, you're still just as timid. You're making me miss Old Hai a little."

"Hmph, he may be bold, but he dared to barge into Queen Medusa's territory whenever he pleased. Who knows whether he's even still alive in this world? The only reason the Miter Family remains secure is because news of his death has not arrived. If word of his death truly came, it would be hard to say whether the Miter Family could remain one of the Gamma Empire's three great families. After all, there are quite a few families in the Gamma Empire with Dou Wang experts overseeing them."

Jia Xing Tian snorted coldly, greatly disdainful of Hai Bodong's reckless nature.

"You old fellow, should I call you prudent or cowardly? With your temperament, I'm afraid you won't get even a share of the benefits that may arise from the changes brought by that little Su Luo in the future."

Jia Xing Tian shook his head and said unconcernedly, "The Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid is indeed good, but any changes he brings in the future will be matters of at least ten or even twenty years from now. That is simply too long, and if something unexpected happens along the way..."

Jia Xing Tian clasped his hands behind his back and chuckled. "By then, this old man may have already broken through to the Dou Zong realm and need fear no changes."
