In the garden, there was an exceptionally beautiful female cultivator.
With a dignified and elegant deanor, she sat gracefully on the bench, as if she were the center of all the female cultivators.
Her na was Ye Linglong.
Ye Linglong laughed and said, "The Qian Family has the largest background, with three Golden Core Ancestors presiding—one ancestor travels afar, one is in secluded ditation aiming to break through, and another is stationed at ho. But they have more than three hundred Foundation Establishnt cultivators and are the wealthiest. However, the downside is that Wu Xiaowen is of illegitimate birth, lacking significant backing in the Qian Family, relying solely on his talent for the support of the family ancestor."
"The Sun Family is specialized in the elixir business and the dicinal trade in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, having so connections with the Sun Family ancestor. Sun Chao, at rely one hundred and twenty years old, is already at the Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt and a direct grandson of a Purple Mansion Great cultivator. His shortcoming is his sowhat inferior talent, being rely of Inferior Grade Dual Spirit Root."
"Qian Xuantong, from the Qian Family, which has only two Foundation Establishnt cultivators, making the family’s influence small; but he’s a true disciple of the Dan Yang Sect, apprenticed to a Golden Core Ancestor, his own cultivation is not bad, being at the Sixth Layer of Foundation Establishnt."
"The Zhao Family brothers, with Dual Spirit Roots, one is a Second Grade Alchemist and the other a Second Grade Artifact Refiner, they co from a Purple Mansion clan."
"Lu Xuanji, from the Lu Family, with Three Spirit Roots, a Purple Mansion Great cultivator was recently born in his family, making them a Purple Mansion clan again, but with shallow foundations, having only five Foundation Establishnt cultivators. Seemingly due to lack of resources, his cultivation is the lowest, rely at the Fourth Layer of Foundation Establishnt."
"These six people are all promising, and I wish to marry them all. But how can one woman marry six husbands? Bingyun, who will you choose?"
Ye Bingyun said, "I choose the young master of the Qian Family."
"Chenyu, who will you choose?" Ye Linglong asked.
Ye Chenyu pondered and said, "Sun Family’s young master has eighteen concubines in his cave mansion; the young master of the Qian Family has no concubines but is ambiguous with two senior and junior sisters, and has relations with three female cultivators outside, cleverly maneuvering without admitting it, lacking honesty."
"The Zhao Family brothers cultivate the Pure Yang Scripture, unable to lose their virginity unless becoming a Golden Core, unsuitable for ."
"The young master of the Lu Family suits , as long as he agrees not to take concubines in the future."
Ye Linglong laughed, "What man isn’t lustful? Those with great achievents must have great desires. There was once a Demon Sect Emperor with more than three hundred Dao companions; even within our Ye Family, so Foundation Establishnt Elders have seven or eight wives and concubines. That kind of lifelong devotion is simply impossible."
"Xiaoxiao, who will you choose?"
Ye Xiaoxiao said, "I choose the young master of the Lu Family because he looks the best."
Ye Bingyun said, "Linglong, who do you choose?"
Ye Linglong said, "I choose, the champion of three competitions."
Ye Xiaoxiao listened, eyes full of envy: "According to family rules, the family’s female cultivators must choose to marry or recruit a live-in son-in-law to leave behind offspring for the family before they reach one hundred fifty. Even if we refuse this marriage proposal and the next one, how many can we refuse? Unless we beco a Purple Mansion Great cultivator before one hundred fifty."
"The only one who could beco a Purple Mansion Great cultivator before one hundred fifty is Linglong sister."
The nurous female cultivators listened, their hearts filled with sadness.
Born in a clan, one must contribute to it, and alliances through marriage are inevitable, if not choosing this one, then the next.
Only those cultivators with exceedingly outstanding talent are qualified to disregard family rules.
Rules bind the weak, yet strong ones break the rules.
If a family produces a genius who can break the clan’s rules, not only would the family’s ancestors not be angry, but they would laugh heartily thrice in joy.
...
Just then, the refining of the White Sun Pill concluded.
From the start of refining to its conclusion, it took less than ten minutes.
"Everyone, take out the elixir and place it in this bowl in sequence. It will display the quality of the White Sun Pill."
The Ye Family Alchemist said, tossing down a stone bowl, roughly the size of a washbasin, etched with talismans, ancient and deep.
"I’ll go first."
A cultivator took an elixir and tossed it into the bowl, and imdiately the light flickered with characters appearing.
[Elixir Poison, nine hundred and ninety-eight out of ten thousand, Middle Grade]
"Quality assessnt, approval to consu?" The Ye Family Alchemist asked.
"Approved to consu."
The cultivator nodded and stepped aside.
When the elixir was completed, the alchemist could approximate the amount of elixir poison and the quality of the elixir rely by slling it, but specific values required a specially made spiritual artifact.
This stone bowl could provide the most precise values.
"Approved to consu."
The cultivator said and stepped aside.
Swish!
Another cultivator threw the White Sun Pill into the bowl.
[Elixir Poison, nine hundred and eighty-two out of ten thousand, Middle Grade]
[Elixir Poison, nine hundred and seventy out of ten thousand, Middle Grade]
[Elixir Poison, eight hundred out of ten thousand, Middle Grade]
One after another, the White Sun Pills were sent for testing.
Most of the White Sun Pills were of Middle Grade.
Yet, despite being Middle Grade, they distinguished the alchemist’s skill levels.
Only White Sun Pills, the lowest quality elixirs, could be refined into Middle Grade elixirs.
The probability of achieving Middle Grade is extrely low for First Grade and Second Grade elixirs.
Swish, swish!
One by one, they were tested respectively.
Flowing like water, it happened so fast.
Buzz, buzz.
At that mont, a light shone.
[Elixir Poison, ninety-eight out of ten thousand, Upper Grade]
The crowd gasped in shock.
This was a cultivator from the Sun Family, nad Sun Qiyuan.
So Ye Family cultivators’ eyes changed, paying slight attention.
Despite his inadequate talent, being rely of average Three Spirit Roots, his alchemy skills had earned him the Ye Family’s favor.
Consequently, another five quickly succeeded, refining Upper Grade White Sun Pills.
In the blink of an eye, it was Lu Xuanji’s turn.
He waved his hand, tossing the White Sun Pill into the bowl.
Buzz, buzz.
Brilliant light shone, even more dazzling than the previous tis.
[Elixir Poison, eight out of ten thousand, Supre Grade]
Instantly everyone was stunned.
"Impossible."
The Ye Family Alchemist did not believe it, wrapping the elixir in True Essence, bringing it to his face, slling it while conducting a Divine Thought inspection, but his face changed.
The White Sun Pill was of Supre Quality.
The refining ti, from just completed, was less than a cup of tea worth of ti.
"Impossible, this is cheating."
"How can a Foundation Establishnt Cultivator refine a Supre Grade elixir?"
"Supre Grade elixirs are said to be refineable only by Golden Core Ancestors, not even Purple Mansion Great cultivators can. Legend has it even Golden Core Ancestors require luck to refine Supre Grade Foundation Establishnt Pill."
No one believed it.
But when the Ye Family Alchemist brought the elixir before the skeptics.
Many doubters fell silent.
They were alchemists unable to refine Supre Grade elixirs, yet had the basic ability to distinguish and could discern the difference between Upper and Supre Grades.
This elixir was of Supre Quality.
