Chapter 187: Chapter 187: Foundation Establishnt Pills
Upon hearing this, Bai Qinying looked directly at Elder Cao.
She remained silent, letting him be the one to answer.
Seeing this, Patriarch Shen imdiately added, "Please rest assured, Elders. The Shen Family will certainly not be short on the promised compensation."
Elder Cao did not answer imdiately.
He was contemplating.
’He wasn’t thinking about the disciples’ compensation, but rather the fact that the Shen Family hadn’t yet discovered that disciples from the Celestial Demon Sect were supporting the Stone Demon Sect.’
’Just because the Shen Family hadn’t found out didn’t an the Celestial Demon Sect wasn’t actually aiding the Stone Demon Sect.’
’Judging from the distribution of power within the sect’s Earth Realm, the Shen Family is our bridgehead against the Celestial Demon Sect. It’s best if they remain, rather than having their territory occupied by Demons.’
"We can offer defensive support," Elder Cao said.
To be on the safe side, the support from the Celestial Cloud Sect disciples would be purely defensive; they would not take the initiative to attack.
"Of course, that’s no problem."
Patriarch Shen didn’t hesitate and quickly nodded. As the patriarch, he had already anticipated Elder Cao’s answer.
Even this level of support would greatly relieve the pressure on their clan’s Qi Refining mbers.
Afterward, they discussed the number of disciples needed, their approximate cultivation levels, and the details of the compensation.
Within the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm, the Shen Family was a Foundation Establishnt Cultivation Clan under the sect’s protection. Each year, they had to offer a certain amount of resources as tribute. Having two Foundation Establishnt Elders act as the Shen Family’s Guardians did not require any additional paynt from them.
However, asking for other Celestial Cloud Sect disciples to co and help was a different matter entirely.
The Shen Family would have to provide the compensation for that.
...
「Celestial Cloud Sect.」
「Dan Cloud Peak, inside the Dan Cloud Pavilion.」
Fang Yun had co here today to accept an Alchemy task.
"Senior Brother Fang."
The disciple on duty today was Wang Yourong.
She called out as soon as she saw Fang Yun.
Ever since Fang Yun reached the Qi Refining Ninth Layer, she had changed how she addressed him, no longer calling him "Junior Brother."
Wang Yourong was currently still at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and she was still a ways from its peak.
"Junior Sister, is my Alchemy task ready?" Fang Yun asked.
"It is."
As she spoke, Wang Yourong retrieved Fang Yun’s task sheet, along with the corresponding Spirit dicines.
"The task is to refine Spirit Revival Pills."
"In that case, I’ll need a copy of the Pill Formula for the Spirit Revival Pill."
"Will you pay with Spirit Stones or Contribution Points?"
"Contribution Points." Fang Yun took out the Token from his waist.
"One copy of the Spirit Revival Pill Formula costs sixty-three Contribution Points."
This was the third new type of pill Fang Yun had taken on, after the Qi Enhancent Pill. Before this, he had already accepted tasks for refining Rejuvenation Pills and Grass Returning Pills.
Fang Yun naturally understood Elder Bai Heyan’s intentions, as this was the result of a discussion the two of them had.
They had discussed the matter of refining pills for the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Bai Heyan felt that since Fang Yun could refine a Lower Grade Spiritual Artifact, and his Alchemy Talent was no worse than his Artifact Refining talent, refining pills for the Foundation Establishnt Stage would be no problem at all.
But Fang Yun had turned him down, using the reason that he wanted to accumulate more experience in Alchemy first.
Refining several more types of Qi Refining Stage pills would indeed make it easier when he eventually started refining pills for Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
Giving himself a few more months to accumulate experience was only a secondary reason.
The main reason, of course, was the bonus he would get from his Alchemy Talent later on.
Once he broke through to the Qi Refining Tenth Layer and his Alchemy Talent was upgraded to five stars, he could then approach Elder Bai Heyan again to discuss refining pills for the Foundation Establishnt Stage.
’With a five-star Alchemy Talent, I’ll definitely waste fewer Spirit dicines when refining Foundation Establishnt pills.’
’The more Foundation Establishnt Stage pills the sect has, the better it is for both the sect and .’
A short while later, Wang Yourong gave him the Pill Formula for the Spirit Revival Pill and deducted the corresponding Contribution Points.
Fang Yun put away the Spirit Revival Pill Formula and the five sets of Spirit dicines for refining the pills.
He gave the Spirit dicines a quick glance and saw that they were all of superior quality.
’With the help of all these superior-quality Spirit dicines, I can guarantee that I’ll produce Middle Grade Spirit Revival Pills on my very first try.’
’I might even produce two Middle Grade ones right off the bat.’
After chatting a bit more with Wang Yourong, Fang Yun left the Dan Cloud Pavilion.
After leaving the Dan Cloud Pavilion, he followed the path further up the mountain.
He wasn’t going to see Elder Bai Heyan, but Song Qiaoqiao.
Back in February, Song Qiaoqiao had successfully achieved Foundation Establishnt and beco a sect Elder.
It was now April, so a full two months had passed since her Foundation Establishnt.
After reaching Foundation Establishnt, Song Qiaoqiao had moved onto Dan Cloud Peak.
In terms of status, Song Qiaoqiao could now also be called an Elder of Alchemy.
Fang Yun arrived before Song Qiaoqiao’s cave residence and knocked on the stone door. A mont later, it slowly swung open, and he stepped inside.
"Senior Sister."
"Junior Brother, co over here."
After Song Qiaoqiao beca a Foundation Establishnt Elder, she had ntioned that she preferred they address each other as they always had. Faced with this, Fang Yun naturally had no reason to refuse.
And so, the way they addressed each other remained the sa.
Fang Yun went over and sat down, watching as Song Qiaoqiao stood to prepare Spirit Tea for him.
’Any cultivator who saw this would probably think I was the Elder and Song Qiaoqiao was the disciple.’
"Junior Brother, did you need sothing from
today?"
"Actually, Senior Sister, I just accepted an Alchemy task to refine Spirit Revival Pills. It’s my first ti refining them, so I ca to ask for your advice."
"Ah, so it’s about refining Spirit Revival Pills. As it happens, I have so valuable insights to share."
When it ca to the topic of alchemy, Song Qiaoqiao held nothing back, sharing all her experience with Fang Yun.
Since they first t, the two had discussed many things, but if one were to ask what they talked about most...
...it would undoubtedly be the Dao of Alchemy.
Fang Yun had entered the cave residence around noon; by the ti he left, dusk had already fallen.
「Back at his residence.」
Fang Yun first spent a day to thoroughly master the Spirit Revival Pill Formula.
He refined three cauldrons of Spirit Revival Pills in his first attempt.
Thanks to the insights from his conversation with Song Qiaoqiao, his very first cauldron yielded not just two Middle Grade Spirit Revival Pills, but also five Lower Grade ones.
A single cauldron could produce a maximum of seven pills, which ant his first attempt had produced no Wasted Pills.
He then refined two more cauldrons of Spirit Revival Pills.
In the final cauldron, he managed to produce an Upper Grade Spirit Revival Pill.
To produce an Upper Grade pill after refining only five cauldrons—Fang Yun had once again broken his own record.
Mastering the Pill Formula, refining the pills, and factoring in ti for cultivation and rest, the entire process took five days.
Fang Yun completed the task of refining the Spirit Revival Pills with great success, even earning a fourth-tier task reward for his fifth cauldron.
After turning in the Alchemy task and collecting his reward, Fang Yun returned to his room. Just as he was about to close the door, he heard a familiar voice.
"Junior Brother Fang!"
It was Yang Yingjie’s voice.
"Senior Brother Yang, please co in."
Fang Yun closed the door only after inviting Yang Yingjie inside.
As they sat down, Yang Yingjie explained his reason for coming.
"Junior Brother, I saw the mission to guard the Shen Family in the Task Hall."
The last ti they t, after Fang Yun had helped him refine an Upper Grade Magical Artifact, he had asked Yang Yingjie to keep an eye out for a mission to the Shen Family—a Foundation Establishnt Clan—and to inform him if one appeared in the Task Hall.
So, as soon as Yang Yingjie saw the mission in the Task Hall, he had rushed right over.
He had happened to catch Fang Yun just as he was closing his door.
"So the mission is available," Fang Yun said, not at all surprised.
’The fact that it’s just a mission to help out the Shen Family suggests the overall situation isn’t too dire. On the surface, it’s still just a conflict between the Shen Family and the Stone Demon Sect.’
"Are you going to take this mission, Junior Brother?" Yang Yingjie asked, a little excited.
He was well aware of Fang Yun’s strength, especially after Fang Yun had taken first place in the Four-Sect Trial and even broken its record.
"I can," Fang Yun nodded quickly.
"That’s great! We can go together!"
The thought of undertaking a mission with Fang Yun made Yang Yingjie even more excited.
