Bestowing a Pill

[Essence: Blazing Sun Pill]

[Grade: Tier 1]

[Evolving Method: Five Enhancements]

[Note: This product is equivalent to several years of arduous cultivation for cultivators at the Qi Guiding Realm. For cultivators at the True Qi Realm Peak, it offers a certain chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.]

"Gulp!"

As Wang Yuan listened to Lu Qingfeng's introduction to the Blazing Sun Pill, he couldn't help but swallow hard.

Before meeting Lu Qingfeng, he was already at the Eighth Layer True Qi Realm. These four years of arduous cultivation had brought him to the True Qi Realm Peak. If he could obtain a Blazing Sun Pill, perhaps—

This thought came to mind.

Wang Yuan suddenly thought of what Elder Lu had just said, which seemed to have a profound meaning, and he hadn't directly answered where he was going to send the remaining Blazing Sun Pill.

"Could it be—"

Wang Yuan looked up suddenly and saw the smile on Elder Lu's face. His heart immediately started pounding.

"My elder brother means that three Blazing Sun Pill should be given to Elder Guqin. The remaining one will belong to Uncle Wang."

"Uncle Wang has been very busy these past few years, and I've wanted to show my appreciation for him for a long time. This time, with the completion of the Blazing Sun Pill, besides the three that were sent to Elder Guqin, Uncle Wang was the first to receive one."

Lu Qingyu, who was standing to the side, saw that Wang Yuan had guessed but couldn't believe it, and immediately smiled and said.

"This--"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan's mind went blank.

Turning to look at Lu Qingfeng, he saw Elder Lu nod slightly. Unable to contain his joy any longer, Wang Yuan immediately knelt down, his voice trembling, "This subordinate... this subordinate thanks Elder!"

"Get up."

With a flick of his sleeve, Lu Qingfeng sent a Qingfeng to lift Wang Yuan to his feet.

Wang Yuan was completely bewildered, not even knowing how he left Peak Rain Mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, his hand tightened; he was holding a bottle containing four Blazing Sun Pills.

"Real--"

Wang Yuan then came to his senses; it was all not an illusion.

Lu Qingyu watched Wang Yuan leave, puzzled, and said, "Brother, it's just a first-grade pill, why did Uncle Wang react so strongly?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng chuckled softly, "You're unaware of your good fortune. Ordinary cultivators, especially those in the True Qi Realm, where would they get pills? Even top-grade pills require careful budgeting to purchase. As for high-grade spiritual pills, they're nowhere to be found and can't afford them."

"Alchemist are rare in the world, and therefore, spiritual pills are also rare. But cultivators at the True Qi Realm are as numerous as can be."

"In the Sunset Glow Sect, most True Qi Realm cultivators, after being promoted from disciples to stewards, are often stuck at the True Qi Realm Peak and unable to break through due to limited resources. Wang Yuan obtained the Blazing Sun Pill, which gives him one more chance to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm than the hundreds or nearly a thousand stewards in the Sunset Glow Sect."

"It's a pleasant surprise."

Lu Qingfeng explained to Qingyu while also expressing his feelings.

There are far too many cultivators like Wang Yuan.

He had one foot in the path to immortality, but due to various reasons, he could only watch longingly from outside the door.

That's really pitiful.

But among the millions of cultivators in the world, and trillions upon trillions of those at the True Qi Realm, how many can actually obtain the Blazing Sun Pill?

There are not enough spirit medicine and pills for Foundation Establishment and Spirit Void Cultivator, so how many can be given to the True Qi Realm cultivators?

Wang Yuan was lucky to meet him.

Although the Blazing Sun Pill is First-Order Spirit Pill, like the Foundation Establishment, it has miraculous effects on cultivators Foundation Establishment. Its value far surpasses that of ordinary first-tier pills.

Lu Qingfeng enhanced the Pill Formula five more times, and the resulting Blazing Sun Pill was far inferior to the Foundation Establishment, which had also been enhanced five times.

But Wang Yuan's Root Bone is far better than Lu Qingfeng's.

With one Blazing Sun Pill, the chance of reaching Foundation Establishment is at least 60-70%.

"He probably hasn't realized the true effects of the Blazing Sun Pill yet."

Lu Qingfeng chuckled inwardly.

Wang Yuan was overjoyed because he had obtained a First-Order Spirit Pill, which gave him hope of Foundation Establishment.

In Wang Yuan's view, this "hope" was only slightly higher than his own hard work, increasing from less than 10% to about 20%.

If Wang Yuan knew that swallowing a single Blazing Sun Pill would give him a 60-70% chance of Foundation Establishment, he would be able to achieve this.

I'm afraid my heart is about to go mad.

It is not conducive to spiritual practice.

Therefore, Lu Qingfeng did not tell him directly.

"One Blazing Sun Pill should be enough for him to reach Foundation Establishment. There are many things in the Sunset Glow Sect and the Gathering Cloud Mountains that are beyond his True Qi Realm cultivation. Advancing to Foundation Establishment will make things much easier."

Lu Qingfeng used Wang Yuan for more than four years.

Over the years, he had witnessed Wang Yuan's abilities and loyalty. A single Blazing Sun Pill was nothing to him. In fact, if one pill wasn't enough for Wang Yuan to Foundation Establishment, Lu Qingfeng would bestow even more.

Until Wang Yuan Foundation Establishment.

It's rare to have a subordinate who is to your liking. It would be a pity if, in thirty or forty years, he were old and frail due to limitations in his cultivation.

"No wonder the Sunset Glow Sect has so many disciples and deacons, but only a dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu suddenly realized what was happening.

She had always been by her elder brother's side, never lacking in elixirs or miracle cures, to the point that she was completely unaware of the hardships of life. It was only recently, through Wang Yuan's reaction, that she realized and understood.

"Uncle Wang is lucky to have met my elder brother."

"I was born with my older brother, which means I'm incredibly lucky!"

Lu Qingyu smiled and stepped forward to hug her older brother's arm.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're not twins, how could we have met in the womb?"

Lu Qingyu snorted, "When Mother was pregnant with me, didn't Big Brother see me? That big belly was full of me. If Big Brother saw me, then I must have met Big Brother."

Lu Qingyu spouted a bunch of fallacies, which Lu Qingfeng found amusing, and he nodded in agreement with her.

Lu Qingyu was finally satisfied. She released her elder brother's arm, blinked her eyes, and asked with pursed lips, "Elder Guqin sent you spirit medicine seeds, and you returned the favor with Blazing Sun Pill. Is this a way of building rapport?"

"Hmph."

"Did I just hit the nail on the head? It must be that my brother was too embarrassed to admit it in front of Uncle Wang."

Lu Qingyu crossed her arms, a half-smile on her face.

"Nonsense."

Lu Qingfeng shook his head.

"Why not just give her an ordinary First-Order Spirit Pill? Why not just give her the precious Blazing Sun Pill?" Lu Qingyu didn't believe it.

"You!"

Helpless, Lu Qingfeng could only explain, "The Blazing Sun Pill has a miraculous effect on the Foundation Establishment of the True Qi Realm Sunset Glow Sect Realm cultivators. How many True Qi Realm Peak cultivators are there in the Falling Clouds Sect? If there were enough Blazing Sun Pill, many Foundation Establishment Grand Cultivators could advance in a short time. The reason I gave Elder Guqin the Blazing Sun Pill was actually to tell the Sunset Glow Sect about the effects of the Blazing Sun Pill through her."

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu didn't make any jokes and listened quietly.

Lu Qingfeng said, "We will be staying in the Gathering Cloud Mountains for nearly a hundred years. The stronger the Sunset Glow Sect becomes, the fewer troubles we will have. The Blazing Sun Pill can help the Sunset Glow Sect produce many more Foundation Establishment cultivators, thus solidifying its dominant position in the Gathering Cloud Mountains. This is the simplest and most effective method."

As for whether the Sunset Glow Sect will discard its useful tools after it becomes powerful, or whether it will repay kindness with enmity...

These absurd stories are impossible if you think about them even a little.

Why would the Sunset Glow Sect rely on Bai Lu Qingfeng, Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Artifice, when there is no conflict of interest?

Don't say you won't offend anyone.

They might even go to great lengths to win them over.

The Spirit Stone that Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu obtained in the Hundred Herbs Garden were entrusted to the Sunset Glow Sect for safekeeping. However, neither Zhou Yuan nor the three Supreme Elders would allow anyone to touch these Spirit Stones in the slightest.

Hundreds or thousands of Spirit Stones are far less valuable than a 'Master Lu'.

Furthermore, even cultivators are not entirely selfish and self-serving.

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingyu tilted her head and looked at her elder brother again, hesitatingly asking, "Elder brother, what about Elder Guqin— "

Before she could finish speaking, seeing her elder brother feigning anger, she quickly changed the subject, pointing to the spirit medicine seeds and medicinal herb seeds that Wang Yuan had brought, and said, "Brother, you didn't come to the Sinkhole Mine Mountain to plant spirit medicine, did you?"

"Growing medicinal herbs in a mine? If word got out, we'd be laughed at."

Lu Qingyu covered her face, her eyes wide open.

What kind of pesticides are planted in the mines?

Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, putting the seeds into his Storage Bag.

Oh dear, I really want to update this chapter quickly!
