Chapter 1190: Chapter 414: Devastation Flame, 20 Ninth Level Qi Refinement! As the years have passed, the Jin Family has still not recovered from the pain of the past. "There’s no hurry regarding this matter. I’ll first send someone to investigate this Alchemist’s information to verify the situation." "Moreover, it’s not only our Jin Family who is anxious about this; the other major families are unlikely to want to see Bi Lake Mountain continue to grow like this!" The Patriarch of the Jin Family said in a deep voice. "Indeed, Lu Changsheng and his wife, Lu Miaoge, from Bi Lake Mountain, are already equivalent to a False Core Immortal. Nobody wants to see their family continuously produce Foundation Establishment Cultivators!" "The main issue is that Lu Changsheng has grown too quickly. His rise has been too smooth!" "In any case, we absolutely cannot allow the Lu Family to continue to grow in this manner." "I have heard that the Lu Family has established a trade association. This move is likely also to lay the groundwork for the association. With such Alchemists, countless family forces would want to form ties with Bi Lake Mountain." The senior members of the Jin Family discussed animatedly, realizing that although the Lu Family’s news is showy, sticking out from the flock, it also brings countless benefits to the family. After all, even if all families know that Bi Lake Mountain is on the rise, as long as there are no direct conflicts of interest, no one wants to tear their face off with Bi Lake Mountain and confront them directly. Ordinary Foundation Establishment Families wouldn’t concern themselves with whether Bi Lake Mountain rises or not. Now, they would only actively seek to build good relations with Bi Lake Mountain and try to gain benefits as much as they can. Moreover, with such established relations, they wouldn’t provoke Bi Lake Mountain in the future and avoid bringing about the disaster of extinction. "Sigh..." After a long discussion among the high-ranking members of the Jin Family, they realized that the most urgent concern for their family is the rise of Bi Lake Mountain, and all fell into silence. ... Bi Lake Mountain. In recent times, many family forces and even Loose Cultivators have been visiting Bi Lake Mountain to verify the matter of producing Foundation Establishment Elixirs and possibly wishing to purchase a Foundation Establishment Elixir. In this matter, Lu Changsheng did not involve himself, instead fully delegating it to his son, Lu Xingyang. However, whenever a Foundation Establishment Ancestor visits, Lu Miaoyun, the prominent Lady of the Lu Family aside from Lu Changsheng, Lu Miaoge, and Ling Zixiao of the elder Foundation Establishment generation, would still come out to receive them. Facing these visitors, Lu Miaoyun and Lu Xingyang affirmed that everything was true. They will offer a Foundation Establishment Cave Abode to those who came to perform Alchemy, provided their background is clear, and Bi Lake Mountain would keep it confidential. However, during the Foundation Establishment process, if any enemy attacks and causes the Foundation Establishment to fail, Bi Lake Mountain would not be responsible. As for those wanting to purchase a Foundation Establishment Elixir, Lu Miaoyun uniformly declared that they had none. She very clearly understood that at this time, if the Lu Family were to produce a Foundation Establishment Elixir, countless people would swarm here, demanding the Elixir for various reasons. It might even attract some blood-thirsty Heretic Cultivators who would come to kidnap the Lu Family’s disciples, among others. Taking this opportunity, Lu Miaoyun also declared that their family was in long-term acquisition of materials and Spiritual Objects for producing Foundation Establishment Elixirs. And she posted a purchasing order. It indicated that if anyone had rare items listed on the purchasing order, Bi Lake Mountain would be willing to prioritize trading with them if they have Foundation Establishment Elixirs in the future. Although this is akin to drawing a pie in the sky. Yet, with the allure of the Foundation Establishment Elixirs and thinking of offering a favor, many still took note of the purchasing order content, planning to return and keep an eye out to help. ... 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺 Lu Changsheng was not very aware of these external matters and did not pay much attention to them. After roughly preparing the medicinal bath for Lu Ping’an, Lu Lingxiao, and others, he instructed Ling Zixiao to take a Mountain and River Cauldron to upgrade the Biyun Peak Spiritual Vein. Then, he went to the Alchemy Room to start teaching Li Xingruo how to produce Foundation Establishment Elixirs. The news of producing Foundation Establishment Elixirs being shared could not mean all such Elixirs would be refined by him alone. Hence, it was necessary to teach Li Xingruo. In the Cultivation World, few people could craft Foundation Establishment Elixirs, not because crafting them is incredibly difficult. It’s because the practice cost of Foundation Establishment Elixirs is too high, with materials being too rare, effectively discouraging ninety percent of Alchemists. However, Li Xingruo has decent talent in Alchemy, already barely capable of producing Second-order Superior Elixir Medicines, and has seen Lu Changsheng craft Foundation Establishment Elixirs multiple times. With Lu Changsheng’s guidance, starting to practice now wouldn’t result in too much loss. Inside the Lakeside Island Alchemy Room. "Hoo hoo hoo—" Three Pill Furnaces were situated, with Lu Changsheng managing one furnace, directly refining three batches of Elixir Medicines. However, one batch was controlled by Li Xingruo, who observed Lu Changsheng’s process first and then tried it himself. With slight issues, Lu Changsheng would speak out to instruct and attempt to remedy. "Once the Biyun Peak Spiritual Vein ascends to becoming a Second-Order Top-grade, a tributary can be cultivated nearby, integrating the Earthly Malevolent Fire Vein into it, and this spirit mountain can be used to plant Fire Mulberry Trees, Golden Fire Vine Trees, and also to construct an Alchemy Workshop." "In this way, our family can manage to refine nine batches of elixir medicines simultaneously." Lu Changsheng stared at the Pill Furnace in front of him, which was fiercely burning with earth fire, contemplating inwardly. Operating three Pill Furnaces at the same time was not his limit. With his current level of Divine Sense, even refining nine furnaces of elixir medicines simultaneously would not be a big problem. However, the main attribute of the Bi Lake Mountain Spirit Vein is water. The Earth Fire Formation in this alchemy room at home really is limited in power, unable to support too much Earth Fire for the furnaces. And his Thunder Gang Dragon Flame is too fierce, only suitable for Artifact Refining, and not quite fit for Alchemy. "Xingruo, don’t be nervous, this step needs to be smooth, otherwise, during the fusion process of the elixir, it’s easy for the potency to become unbalanced....." At this moment, Lu Changsheng saw in Li Xingruo’s Pill Furnace, under the intense flames, a Foundation Establishment Elixir taking on an irregular formative shape, and he spoke out to advise. While speaking, he gently lifted his palm, helping her adjust the fire intensity, and casting multiple spells to allow the medicine to bake slowly and become rounded. "Now by employing the Elemental Sealing Alchemy Technique to temper the elixir, temper each time for three breaths, pause for nine breaths, totaling eighty-one times." Lu Changsheng multitasked, controlling his own Pill Furnace while also advising Li Xingruo. Originally when he first obtained the second-rank alchemy, although Lu Changsheng’s alchemy skills were very skilled, he was still unable to do this effortlessly and magically. This was entirely the effect of his enhanced cultivation level, breaking through Core Formation, and awakening the Taiyi Divine Soul. If he were willing to spend the time, immersing himself to further his research in alchemy and puppetry techniques to ascend to the third rank wouldn’t be too hard. "Hmm." Li Xingruo, serious and focused, nodded, but was still a bit nervous. After all, this is a Foundation Establishment Elixir we are talking about. One batch alone is worth tens of thousands of Spirit Stones. After a long time. "Bang——" The Foundation Establishment Elixirs from the three Pill Furnaces are successfully produced. In the two Pill Furnaces in front of Lu Changsheng, six Foundation Establishment Elixirs appear, three Top-grade and three Top-Quality. Li Xingruo, due to several issues occurring during the process, although remedied by Lu Changsheng, ended up with only two inferior elixirs and one failed elixir. "Haha, to be able to successfully produce two elixirs on your first attempt at refining Foundation Establishment Elixirs, Xingruo, your talent in alchemy truly is exceptional." Lu Changsheng said with a chuckle. Although the inferior Foundation Establishment Elixirs only increase the probability of Foundation Establishment by 10 percent. For a regular Loose Cultivator, they are still immensely priceless. If taken to the Red Leaf Valley Market for an auction, they might fetch up to ten thousand Spirit Stones. So these two inferior Foundation Establishment Elixirs are not too bad of a deal. "Husband, stop teasing her." Li Xingruo is well aware that she was able to preserve these two inferior Foundation Establishment Elixirs thanks to the continual corrections by Lu Changsheng. Otherwise, how could she have even reached this Pill Formation stage. "What I’ve said is the truth; just a few more batches and my Xingruo will definitely be able to produce Top-Quality Foundation Establishment Elixirs." Lu Changsheng’s voice was gentle, with a smile on his face. "Mm~" Li Xingruo, looking at Lu Changsheng’s exceptionally handsome face, her eyes full of admiration, affection, and sweetness, softly nodded. "Now that the elixirs are made, we can also start the Foundation Establishment." Lu Changsheng collected the Foundation Establishment Elixirs in his hand, exhaling softly, somewhat looking forward to the advanced draw after his ten children’s Foundation Establishment. However, just at this moment, a system notification sounded in his mind. [Congratulations to the host, twenty offspring have broken through the Ninth Level Energy Refinement, obtaining one lottery opportunity!]
