Pill Refining Inheritance

"There are many treasures in the cultivation world that nourish the physical body, but there are not many spirit wines as cheap and effective as Green Vine Intoxication.

Moreover, its raw materials are also very common in the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, which further reduces its cost.

Our Azurewood Sect has been developing the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range for so many years, and I don't know how many cultivators have been injured in battles with demonic beasts. Although this spirit wine cannot heal injuries, it can enhance the strength of the physical body and reduce the probability of injury.

Especially for Qi Refining cultivators, its affordable price makes it have extremely considerable sales.

My Brother Shen earns an unknown number of Spirit Stones every year with this spirit wine.

I heard that this recipe was obtained from you, and the reward has not been paid yet.

If Brother Chu handles this matter himself..."

Wei Zhong listened to his narration, and suddenly realized that it was the Azurewood Sect's development of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range that led to the popularity of Green Vine Intoxication.

"Brother Luo is joking, I have to have the ability to do it. A common man is not guilty, but possessing a treasure is.

I was just a small Qi Refining cultivator before, how could I have the ability to operate this matter. Fellow Daoist Shen is different, he is originally a true disciple of the Azurewood Sect, and also a Foundation Establishment cultivator and Pill Master, so it is right for him to handle this matter."

"You are willing, but my good brother is not at ease."

Wei Zhong laughed secretly in his heart. Cultivators value their state of mind the most. Shen Yuqi took so much advantage of me for no reason. How can his heart be at ease?

It would have been better if he had paid the reward happily at the beginning, but he used favors to agree, and he was even promoted to Foundation Establishment and became the same level as him.

If this karma cannot be resolved, I am afraid it will affect his state of mind and thus affect his path.

"I guess my friend is now worried about how to repay this favor."

Wei Zhong had an idea in his mind. Shen Yuqi is a Pill Master, and I happen to lack a pill refining inheritance. Can I start from this?

Recalling Liu Di, whom he had killed, he was also a first-order Pill Master, but there were no complete pill refining inheritance items in his Storage Bag, only some words and occasional experiences recorded.

This kind of thing cannot form a new skill on the panel, so there is no way to talk about leveling up.

Wei Zhong pondered for a while and said softly:

"I wonder... does True Disciple Shen have a method of refining pills, not the Azurewood Sect's inheritance, as long as it can allow this poor Daoist to step into the path of refining pills."

Luo Mingyan looked at Wei Zhong in surprise when he heard the words:

"Brother Chu, you want to learn pill refining?

This pill refining technique is not an easy skill to learn. Even if you have an inheritance, it is difficult to get started without a master's guidance, not to mention the cost of practicing, even I feel a little heartache."

Wei Zhong was a little ashamed:

"Thank you, Brother Luo, for reminding me, but I am too curious about this pill refining method..."

Luo Mingyan saw that Wei Zhong was determined to learn this technique, so he stopped persuading him, thinking that he would tell his friend about this matter when he went back.

Wei Zhong knew that things were promising when he saw that he was silent. Perhaps Luo Mingyan's visit was not without the intention of sounding out Shen Yuqi.

"I can convey it to him. However, Brother, you are concerned about pill refining, but don't delay the spirit wine technique. If this Green Vine Intoxication can be promoted to the second level, the market will not only be available for Qi Refining, but I don't know how many Foundation Establishment cultivators will come to ask for it."

Wei Zhong just smiled:

"Brother Luo, you flatter me. Second-order spirit wine isn't so easy to make. Even if I successfully research a second-order wine recipe, I'm afraid the cost would increase several levels. The value of Green Vine Intoxication at that time might not be as high as the current first-order Green Vine Intoxication."

Luo Mingyan nodded.

If Wei Zhong couldn't control the cost, even second-order Green Vine Intoxication would not be as cost-effective as other spiritual objects in terms of nourishing the physical body. The Spirit Stones earned from it would also be less.

"However, if you can brew second-order spirit wine, even if you don't earn Spirit Stones, it would be enough to accumulate connections. Not joining my sect as a guest elder will likely limit you in many ways. You might as well use the spirit wine to open up some channels."

Wei Zhong naturally understood the reasoning. High-level spiritual objects always have a higher value in the eyes of corresponding cultivators than low-level ones.

Wei Zhong himself also had the idea of using this to open up connections in the cultivation world, but not in the territory of the Azurewood Sect.

For no other reason than to avoid the Azurewood Sect becoming envious.

A mere first-order spirit wine had already caught the eye of a Foundation Establishment true disciple, so wouldn't a second-order spirit wine alarm a Core Formation cultivator?

What if the Azurewood Sect used its strength to suppress him?

He was just a small Foundation Establishment cultivator, how could he resist? He would probably have to obediently offer the wine recipe, brew wine for them, and then be dismissed with some Spirit Stones, with no connection to the subsequent profits.

If they secretly attacked, killing the invading Core Formation cultivator would not be good either. The most feared thing in cultivation world disputes is that the opponent has a background. If a small one is beaten, an old one comes; if an old one is beaten, an even older one comes...

The Azurewood Sect was at least a Core Formation sect, and his highest combat power was only early Core Formation. How could he finish fighting them in a short time...

"I will keep your words in mind, Brother Luo."

After that, the two chatted for a while, and Luo Mingyan bid farewell and prepared to leave.

Wei Zhong gifted him several jars of improved Green Vine Intoxication and instructed him to give another jar to Ning CanKun.

"Brother Chu is thoughtful."

Seeming to feel embarrassed that he came empty-handed, he took out a Ganoderma from his Storage Bag.

"This thing is called Flesh-Eating Ganoderma, a special product of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. It doesn't grow on decaying spiritual wood, but is born in the flesh of dead demon beasts.

It can absorb the spiritual energy and vitality of the host itself, and it can also be planted in an environment rich in spiritual energy.

I offer this as a congratulation on your Foundation Establishment."

Wei Zhong accepted it happily without refusing.

Watching Luo Mingyan leave, Wei Zhong understood that his path of alchemy finally had a direction.

Among the hundred arts of cultivation, alchemy and formations are the most respected. At this moment, the path of alchemy was right in front of him, but he still didn't know where the path of formations was.

Glancing at the Black Lake Island, which was leaking air everywhere, this thin layer of warning formation was too shabby, far inferior to the Azurewood Sect's sect protection formation.

Start with the Azurewood Sect?

Wei Zhong shook his head. How could such a housekeeping skill be placed in the hands of others?

In this case, he still had to explore Hanzhu City, or even the more distant outer prefectures.

But not now. With his early Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was too early to think about these things. At least he had to wait until the Blood Sea True Lord's matter was settled. With those two old seniors, it shouldn't take long, right?

Wei Zhong returned to the pavilion and re-entered the Grotto-heaven. As for the remnants of the two's wine feast, the servants would take care of them.

Later that night, Wei Zhong once again detached himself from cultivation. Inside the pavilion, Xie Linghua led a woman into this small building.

The woman was dressed in light pink gauze, her face flushed, seemingly new to such matters.

She was one of the women the Li Family had sent over in recent days, hailing from the high-level branches of the Li Family. To curry favor with Wei Zhong, the Li Family had truly steeled themselves.

Wei Zhong had no time to concern himself with this matter, so he entrusted the decision entirely to Xie Linghua. If she was interested, she could enter Wei Zhong's pavilion; if not, she could stay on Black Lake Island and find a job.

Today—no, this month—it was her turn.
