Foundation Establishment Pill Forged

This plan faces two minor problems.

First, Zhao Siyao has no need for Foundation Establishment and has not collected any materials in the past ten years, which makes it easy for someone with a keen eye to find suspicious points.

Second, refine two or more Foundation Establishment. One of these Foundation Establishment will be handled by Zhao Siyao. Will she be able to resist the temptation of a Foundation Establishment?

Indeed, Lan Chang'an trusted Zhao Siyao very much, and the two had a very close relationship.

But in the Cultivation World, how often have fellow disciples turned against each other for the sake of Foundation Establishment?

The above two points are not major problems.

Firstly, once he Foundation Establishment, the doubts about the source of the materials will no longer be important.

Secondly, at worst, we'll just lose a Foundation Establishment.

I believe that Zhao Siyao, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with whom I've known for decades, wouldn't be so greedy as to covet Foundation Establishment.

Two days later, Zhao Siyao took the initiative to visit and brought news of Chen Fuhai.

"Chen Fuhai isn't dead?"

Lan Chang'an was taken aback.

Zhao Siyao handed him a letter bearing the mark "Green Bamboo Sect".

"While being pursued by the Heavenly Moon Wolf, Chen Fuhai managed to escape using a secret technique. After healing his wounds in the Black Mist Mountain Range for over a year, he rushed back to his sect to report his mentor's death and arrange the funeral."

"Because my Storage Bag is missing, Chen Fuhai can't produce the materials for the Foundation Establishment, so he's telling me to find someone to collaborate with on refining the pill myself?"

Lan Chang'an was surprised, but this was not unusual.

In the Cultivation World, it's not unusual for someone to escape using a secret technique when their cultivation level is only slightly different.

Moreover, the Heavenly Moon Wolf is not a fully formed late-stage second-tier Demon Beast, but only in a temporary state.

"After recovering from his injuries, Chen Fuhai left in such a hurry without even coming to Yellow Dragon Immortal City to say goodbye?"

Lan Chang'an found it somewhat strange.

Considering the other party's grief over losing his wife, and his hasty and impolite behavior, Lan Chang'an could understand.

In the letter, Chen Fuhai expressed his apology for breaking his promise.

Chen Fuhai will not participate in the collaborative alchemy, Lan Chang'an's plan remains unchanged.

"If Daoist Lu is trustworthy, I can cooperate with you on the matter of refining pills."

After listening to Lan Chang'an's proposal, Zhao Siyao agreed without hesitation.

"By the way, a few years ago when I returned to the Zhao Family's ancestral home to sweep the tombs, I took in a female disciple with good aptitude. She's still far from Foundation Establishment, but as her master, I also have a potential need for Foundation Establishment Pills."

Zhao Siyao's pretty eyes flickered, her expression a half-smile.

Lan Chang'an was taken aback, not expecting this woman to suddenly mess with his mindset.

However, the fact that Zhao Siyao has brought it up proves her candor.

When looking for someone to collaborate with on alchemy, the Foundation Establishment cultivator Lan Chang'an trusted most was Zhao Siyao.

Li Erqing had to be moved to the back of the line.

Mainly because this guy has too many descendants!

For ordinary Lineage, obtaining the Foundation Establishment is difficult, the temptation is great, and there are many variables involved.

The next day.

Lan Chang'an went to Alchemist Heart Residence next door to discuss alchemy with Du Wei.

"You... found a special demon core?" Du Wei was astonished.

To prove that this is not child's play.

Lan Chang'an took out the demon core of the White Jade Python right in front of him.

"The attributes are pure and neutral, meeting the requirements."

After examining the evidence, Du Wei's expression was complex.

In fact, a Foundation Establishment cultivator from the sect could directly visit Alchemist Hua without going through Du Wei.

By doing this, Lan Chang'an was essentially currying favor.

There's no harm in having another connection through Du Wei's introduction.

When setting up the furnace to refine elixirs, Du Wei would also help out.

Before parting, Lan Chang'an gifted the remaining portion of his second-tier low-grade Alchemist inheritance to Du Wei.

Du Wei was deeply grateful, his heart overflowing with emotion: this legacy had been hanging in the balance for over twenty years, and now it was finally complete.

Three days later, Du Wei introduced Lan Chang'an and his companion to Alchemist Hua.

Alchemist Hua confirmed the material quantities and agreed on the remuneration for alchemy.

Both parties agreed to begin refining the elixir Moon Empress.

This already counts as cutting in line.

Among the Rogue Cultivator Alchemist Yellow Dragon Immortal City, Alchemist Hua's skills are considered top-notch.

Many of the cultivators who sought his alchemy services were at the Foundation Establishment Realm.

For ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, Alchemist Hua doesn't care much; they usually have to wait half a year.

The two months were the result of Du Wei's help and efforts.

Instead of returning to Water Moon Residence, Lan Chang'an rented a cave dwelling at the Yellow Dragon Mountain for six months.

Yellow Dragon Mountain is the cultivation Dao Field of the lineage of True Person Yellow Dragon, and its security environment is better than that of the inner city.

The Mystic Water Turtle and the Earth Rock Rat were brought along, Guan Qiaozhi accompanied them to serve them.

Lan Chang'an was worried that news of the main materials for the Foundation Establishment would leak out, making it unsafe for him to stay at Water Moon Residence.

Once the Foundation Establishment is refined, I will directly attempt to Foundation Establishment in my cave.

Two months passed without any unexpected incidents.

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao arrived at Alchemist Hua's residence as agreed.

The Alchemy Hall I visited years ago.

Lan Chang'an saw Alchemist Hua again, that thin old man with white hair and a youthful face.

Over the years, Alchemist Hua's cultivation has advanced further, and he is now a Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivator.

"Alchemist Hua."

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao greeted each other.

"Daoist Zhao, Daoist Lu, you need to recount your materials before refining the pills."

Alchemist Hua spoke.

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao each took out a document.

Lan Chang'an's portion contained a special demon core, and the quantity and value of the materials were higher.

Over the years, Lan Chang'an has collected a lot of duplicate materials, which he then gave to Zhao Siyao to fill in the gaps.

"Based on value, Young Friend Lu will have priority in selecting pills. Does Daoist Zhao have any objections?"

Alchemist Hua glanced at Lan Chang'an, slightly surprised.

During that alchemy session more than a decade ago, Lan Chang'an's presence was almost completely ignored by him.

Unexpectedly, this rather old Rogue Cultivator has managed to gather all the key materials for the Foundation Establishment.

Before refining elixirs for someone, Alchemist Hua would naturally check his background through his disciple.

Especially more than a decade ago, the Evil-Faced Flying Eagle came seeking elixirs.

A Qi Refining Realm is unlikely to affect the status of a cultivator like Alchemist Hua, but if word gets out, it will become a laughing stock.

"I have no objection. Daoist Lu should have priority in choosing the Foundation Establishment."

Zhao Siyao smiled faintly.

Alchemist Hua instructed the two to observe from a distance and not to approach or disturb them.

After collecting the materials, we entered the hall to refine the elixir.

Lan Chang'an and his companion sat on Meditation Cushion outside the main hall.

"Daoist Lu, you can rest assured. The method of refining Foundation Establishment using demon cores is precisely what my master excels at. The first Foundation Establishment he refined was made using this method."

Du Wei offered some kind words of reassurance.

"My master's alchemy skills have essentially reached the Second-Order High-Grade level, and he needs to prove himself. This time, he will definitely go all out."

"Thank you for your guidance, Fellow Daoist Du. I have faith in your master's skills."

Lan Chang'an deliberately appeared somewhat tense.

As Golden Core Realm to Advanced Realm, the Evergreen Art has a solid foundation, giving him a considerable chance of successfully advancing even without the aid of Foundation Establishment.

There was also a spare, low-quality Foundation Establishment in the Storage Bag.

The pursuit of genuine Foundation Establishment is to increase the odds of winning, giving one a greater than 90% chance of success.

"Just as Du Wei said, there is hope that three pills will be successfully refined this time."

Zhao Siyao smiled and said optimistically.

"Thank you for your kind words, Daoist Zhao."

Five days later.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the main hall, refreshing the mind and spirit.

At this point, the alchemy process was nearing its end.

Alchemist Hua was very focused on refining the elixir this time; his brows gradually relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Master, Miss Fu has come to visit!"

A disciple rushed in to report.

Alchemist Hua does not receive guests when refining pills, not even Foundation Establishment cultivators.

But in Yellow Dragon Immortal City, there will always be some people of extraordinary status.

"There's no need to disturb your master's alchemy. Xuemei's visit this time has nothing particularly important to discuss."

A clear, ethereal female voice drifted over.

A stunningly beautiful woman with long, light purple hair gracefully descended into the Alchemy Hall.

This woman is like a secluded orchid in a valley, her delicate face as white as snow, pure and not seductive.

A long, moon-white robe accentuated her voluptuous figure, making her appear like a fairy descended from the moon.

Her lips were red without lipstick, and her eyebrows were green without makeup.

Her spirit carries a subtle melancholy, a kind of aloofness that makes people hesitant to approach her.

"Miss Fu."

The Alchemist Hua, who was refining pills, smiled warmly, unsurprised by the woman's arrival.

Fu Xuemei approached to observe, and Alchemist Hua had no objections.

What is Fu Xuemei doing here?

Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao exchanged a glance.

Lan Chang'an wasn't worried that Fu Xuemei coveted the Foundation Establishment.

Firstly, Fu Xuemei had collaborated with a Lineage cultivator on alchemy several years ago, and had shared a Foundation Establishment with him, thus keeping her word.

This shows that Fu Xuemei is a decent person with good character and is not an arrogant person.

Secondly, she had already used the Mystic Spirit Fruit to obtain a Foundation Establishment for her younger brother.

According to Du Wei, the Foundation Establishment has not yet been used.

If a cultivator fails to break through to the Foundation Establishment, their vital energy will be severely depleted, their foundation will be damaged, and their lifespan may even be affected.

The protection of the Foundation Establishment can greatly reduce the risk of death, but it does not guarantee complete safety.

In recent years, Fu Xuemei has allowed her younger brother to recuperate and collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures to repair his foundation, ensuring he maintains the best condition for the next attempt to break through to the Foundation Establishment.

Fu Xuemei glanced at Lan Chang'an and Zhao Siyao, and nodded slightly.

She sat cross-legged near the Pill Furnace, observing Alchemist Hua refine elixirs, remaining quiet and not making a sound to disturb him.

Two more days passed.

The Pill Furnace shone brightly, emitting a rich medicinal fragrance.

The final stage of alchemy had arrived.

"Open!"

Alchemist Hua shouted loudly, formed hand Hand Seals, and unleashed the Furnace Opening Technique.

Buzz!

A burst of colorful vapor burst open the lid of the cauldron, and a wave of heat swept around it.

Above the Pill Furnace, auspicious clouds faintly appeared, enveloped in a colorful halo.

"This kind of weather..."

Lan Chang'an noticed a slight difference from the last time he refined pills.

Whoosh whoosh!

Three pills were enveloped in auspicious clouds and landed in the hands of Alchemist Hua.

Lan Chang'an stared intently.

Two of the pills were lustrous and translucent, while the other was as black as charcoal.

Alchemist Hua lit up with joy as he carefully took out one of the Foundation Establishment. There were actually four and a half Dao patterns on it!

"Fine Foundation Establishment Pill!"
