This day.

A faint scent of herbs wafted from the lakeside courtyard.

Zhou Ning made Method Formula: "Combine!"

In a few breaths, the spiritual light in the furnace subsided. He gestured, and three Essence Continuation Pill floated out of the furnace, round and full, with a pure medicinal fragrance.

At this point, all ten sets of materials were used up, and the twenty-day alchemy session was over.

Fang Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he hadn't managed to make four pills, the three he had in front of him now made a total of thirteen Essence Continuation Pill.

The way he looked at Zhou Ning changed subtly.

I initially thought Junior Sister Xiangning was exaggerating, but now it seems this boy is indeed extremely talented...

If I had entered the sect back then, with my talent in alchemy, I might have had a chance to compete for the position of True Disciple, and my chances of reaching the Foundation Establishment would have been quite good.

"What a pity..." Fang Tianyu thought to himself.

In the Chen State Kingdom, the raw materials for Foundation Establishment Pill are almost all produced from the secret realms and spiritual lands within the Azure Mystic Sect.

Apart from Myriad Peace Valley, other aristocratic Aristocratic Clan Rogue Cultivator can only rely on the connections of the Azure Mystic Sect.

With Su Yanghao in the sect, the Su Household has no shortage of Foundation Establishment Pill; why would they entrust them to Zhou Ning?

Fang Tianyu knew all too well how rare a Foundation Establishment Pill was for a Rogue Cultivator.

Zhou Ning said, "Senior Brother Fang, since it has exceeded expectations, why don't we try one?"

Seeing the expectant look on his face, Fang Tianyu couldn't help but chuckle.

As expected, even the most talented Alchemist harbor high hopes for the pills they produce.

"Alright, let's give it a try!" Senior Brother Fang stood up and went outside.

Zhou Ning was the last to leave. Zhao Ruoxue, who had changed into a white dress, gave him a cold glare and then went out as well.

Zhou Ning was speechless, only hoping that this woman would never ask him to refine pills again, otherwise he would blast her face to smithereens.

Then he found it absurd. The Zhao Household family was Core Formation Lineage, with even a second-level Alchemist who specialized in refining pills for Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could they possibly need his help?

Upon reaching the lake, Fang Tianyu formed Method Formula and conjured a thick wave of water that shot straight into the sky.

It turned out to be Zhou Ning's most proficient Great Water Dragon Talisman.

However, even though Fang Tianyu is Qi Refining Ninth Layer cultivator, his casting speed for this First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Technique is still slower than when he directly uses a talisman.

"No wonder cultivators rarely use Law Technique; before they can even cast Law Technique, the opponent's Law Artifact arrives."

In contrast, Land of Wei preferred to use Law Technique, from the Divine Ability of the Purple Mansion cultivators to the Secret Method of Brother Zhuoran and the woman in purple gauze.

Fang Tianyu then conjured a crimson fire ring, which exploded upon impact with the water's surface, sending flames billowing and boiling water soaring into the sky.

Even though he was at the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, he couldn't withstand such extravagance, and his Law Power was quickly depleted.

Only then did he pick up a Essence Continuation Pill and swallow it.

In less than ten breaths, he unleashed another Great Water Dragon Technique.

"Great! Great!" Fang Tianyu's face lit up with excitement.

With this precious elixir, he could simultaneously activate three Law Artifact, making him capable of both offense and defense, without worrying about depleting his Law Power. When he fought against others, he was truly terrifying.

Overjoyed, Fang Tianyu said directly, "Brother Zhou, if you ever encounter any trouble in the future, you can send someone to the Azure Mystic Sect to find me. I will definitely come to your aid!"

Zhou Ning had been waiting for these words, and without refusing, replied, "Then thank you very much."

Immediately, Fang Tianyu composed himself, a hint of embarrassment in his voice. "Well, how about I settle the payment for the pill refining with the Pill Formula?"

He truly had no more Spirit Stone; his entire fortune had been used to purchase Law Artifact, talismans, and life-saving items.

Just waiting to enter the Azure Ruins Secret Realm, defy fate, and reap a great harvest.

Moreover, he knew that Zhou Ning had also prepared cooling dew and Thunder Plasma Liquid.

Zhou Ning nodded. "Okay."

The Pill Formula was actually quite profitable, and for him, it was another way to earn spiritual materials.

Fang Tianyu suggested, "I only hope that Brother Zhou will reveal the wonders of this pill in six months."

Zhou Ning still had no objections.

Before parting, Gu Xiangning suggested that they go to Luyou Island again to say goodbye to the Su Household.

Fang Tianyu immediately agreed and released the Azure-Winged Cloud Eagle from his spirit beast pouch.

Zhou Ning looked up at the sky and saw four ethereal figures, especially Gu Xiangning, who was looking back at him.

He cupped his hands and said, "I wish you four a smooth and successful journey to immortality!"

The cloud eagle rose with the wind, and soon turned into a tiny dot.

Zhou Ning thought to himself, "Disciples of sects are truly carefree and unrestrained!"

Even in the worst-case scenario, there's always some hope.

But the Su Household's retainers, like Old Jia, mostly led mediocre lives.

While it may be one way to live, who wouldn't want to become a Foundation Establishment Core Formation cultivator? Who would willingly spend their entire life in mediocrity?

Zhou Ning's gaze turned cold. "The Su Household will have to pay back everything sooner or later."

Luyou Island, the young master's residence.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality these past few days, Young Master Junsong. I am deeply grateful, and I have had a very pleasant conversation with Alchemist Zhou."

"After I achieve Foundation Establishment, I will return here to have a chat with Alchemist Zhou!"

"I hope the Su Household will give me some face, haha!"

Having said that, the cloud eagle rode the wind and soared straight into the sky.

Even if Su Wen were an idiot, she could understand the implied meaning in his words.

She scoffed, "A True Disciple, does he really think he's a Foundation Establishment cultivator? He might just die in the secret realm!"

Under the care of their uncle Su Yanghao, the Su Household also obtained a spot in the secret realm, but they sold it to a guest elder at a high price.

As for why it's about selling them instead of letting them in to help gather resources, and then repaying the Su Household Su Household out of gratitude?

In this respect, the Su Household is quite self-aware.

Su Junsong glanced at her and said, "Now you're certainly shouting louder."

"Why didn't you say it in front of him?" he asked.

Su Wen's face stiffened. "What if he comes out alive?"

She hasn't married Core Formation Cultivator yet!

Su Junsong chuckled and said, "Although Fang Tianyu has High-Grade Spirit Root, he's different from the puppet-like Jiang Xiaohua. This person is good at making friends from all walks of life, and he also possesses a skill in talisman carving. I've heard that his ability to observe qi is also quite remarkable."

Su Wen was displeased.

"My brother must be so busy with accounts that he's lost his mind. How can he only boost others' morale while diminishing his own?"

"The future of the Su Household still depends on me to save it!"

Su Wen said, "Brother, Yunjin is gone. When will I be entitled to her share of Cultivation Resources?"

Su Junsong's lips twitched; he knew Yunjin was not dead.

"It seems unlikely. The elders in the family have decided to bestow the resources upon my niece Niansu."

"What!" Su Wen exclaimed in surprise, thinking of the little girl with pigtails.

Her anger flared up instantly!

My life was stolen once by Su Yunjin, and now it's been stolen again by a little girl!

Su Wen's tone was full of resentment. "Big brother, I'm almost finished with the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, and I'm about to reach the critical point of Foundation Establishment. I'm almost thirty-eight years old, how am I going to marry Core Formation Cultivator in the future?"

Su Junsong's eyes twitched slightly, wishing he could shatter her daydream.

Unfortunately, doing that would only lead to endless arguments.

He said with a stern face, "What nonsense are you thinking? Thirty-eight is nothing! I heard there's a female cultivator in Purple Palace Immortal City who's already eighty-eight and still married a Late Stage of Core Formation cultivator. He even gave her a Law Treasure as a betrothal gift."

Su Wen was shocked, her tone filled with a longing for confirmation. "Really?"

"Why would your elder brother lie to you?" Su Junsong said seriously.

Su Wen was overjoyed and stopped pestering him.

Su Junsong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, "I need to ask my aunt to transfer her away as soon as possible, so she won't bother me every day!"

Before, Su Yunjin could keep her in check, but now that she's faked her death, Wenwen is truly invincible.

Inside the True Disciple cave abode of the Azure Mystic Sect.

Fang Tianyu, dressed in a close-fitting outfit, looked solemn as he distributed three pill bottles to Zhao Ruoxue and the other two.

Ye Menglong knew how precious the Essence Continuation Pill. The Pill Formula had been painstakingly searched for by Senior Brother Fang, and the spiritual materials alone cost more than twenty Spirit Stone.

The price of a single pill has exceeded two Spirit Stone, and its rarity makes it far more valuable than can be estimated.

"Upon entering the Azure Ruins Secret Realm, we will be separated due to the influence of its internal Principle. However, I have learned the art of observing qi, which should be more effective than the spirit-finding Law Artifact provided by the sect."

"I hope you few will survive first. Once we reunite, with the added support of Junior Sister Xiangning's musical skills, then it will be time for us to reap the rewards."

Fang Tianyu glanced at Gu Xiangning. Logically speaking, Seventh Layer of Qi Refining shouldn't even be worth his attention.

But Gu Xiangning is different; she specializes in auxiliary skills.

After a brief discussion, Fang Tianyu decided to wait until the other two arrived before discussing the remaining matters.

At this point, Ye Menglong said, "If Alchemist Zhou keeps the Pill Formula formula a secret, he could probably make a fortune."

Gu Xiangning thought to herself, "That's also due to Brother Zhou's own abilities."

Ye Menglong was glad that back in Yongyang Commandery, out of respect for his junior sister, he hadn't shown Zhou Ning too much contempt.

Zhao Ruoxue's face was as cold as ice as she said indifferently, "So what if you earn a lot? Can you buy Foundation Establishment Pill?"

A single Foundation Establishment Pill can cost eighty or more Spirit Stone, and it wouldn't be surprising if it were even a hundred. The key point is that there are none for sale at all.

If you don't reach the Foundation Establishment, then you can spend your whole life refining pills.

Ye Menglong pondered for a moment, then replied, "That's true."

Gu Xiangning felt uncomfortable upon hearing this. Among the many spiritual herbs she had sought in the secret realm were those for Foundation Establishment and Core Formation.

"Unfortunately, the sect has orders that it's difficult to intercept them unless the gains are truly enormous."
