Chapter 98: Chapter 6: Visitors from the Yang Family
The materials for the Foundation Establishnt Pill are already prepared; however, before proceeding, he needs to get more familiar with controlling the Anomalous Fire.
After a period of adaptation, the premium rate of Tier One Advanced Level pills has improved significantly.
During this ti, Li Jizhou used his Divine Sense to communicate with Bai Yi, giving detailed instructions on controlling the fire during alchemy and how to use Spiritual Sense to perceive the situation inside the Pill Furnace.
Unfortunately, its intelligence still has much room for improvent, unlike Yang Yuyan, the only person he has ever taught, who could not refine a Tier One Middle Level pill even after six months and could only refine basic pills on its own.
Fortunately, thanks to the power of its fla, the pill formation rate and quality are not losing money.
Li Jizhou considered making the most of it and decided to let it be a production line alchemy assistant.
Although basic pills have low profits, they can win by volu.
Regarding this decision, Bai Yi did not express any objection, while Black Xuan fully supported it with both hands.
Black Xuan is a na that was freshly changed after it ascended to a Tier Two Demon Beast. Its previous mories and perceptions seed to have cleared, and it had little attachnt to its old na, probably to suppress Bai Yi.
Demon beasts lack spiritual intelligence but have so level of intelligence, and its intelligence is currently slightly higher than Bai Yi’s.
Seeing Black Xuan’s eager approval, Li Jizhou arranged for it to refine pills with Bai Yi, Bai Yi was responsible for the heating, while it handled adding herbs, collecting pills, and other tasks.
Completely freeing Li Jizhou from any involvent.
And over the past six months, Li Jizhou steadily stepped into the Ninth Level of Qi Cultivation.
That day, he asked Jin i to help purchase so Tier Two basic herbs, in preparation for attempting to refine a Tier Two Youthful Appearance Pill.
Talisman Master Shen’s Tier Two Talisman Art inheritance is sothing he hopes to acquire.
In the art of talismans, he has already reached Tier One completion, able to easily draw Tier One Advanced premium talismans whose power can crush Late Stage Qi Cultivation, but are less impressive against Foundation Establishnt Stage.
The Foundation Establishnt Stage is a qualitative leap compared to the Qi Refining Stage, unlike the Qi Refining Stage, where the middle stage can still overpower the late stage with quantity.
So now, relative to his Late Stage Qi Cultivation, Tier One talismans cannot serve as his trump card, leaving him with a lack of security.
"Pill Master Li, the herbs you requested have been fully acquired," shortly after, Steward Jin i delivered the herbs.
"Thank you! If this furnace produces any premium pills, you will have the priority to purchase one," Li Jizhou was quite satisfied with Jin i’s service over the years.
"Thank you, Pill Master Li, with your words, regardless of success, this will be rembered by Jin i!" Jin i’s expression was joyful.
The Youthful Appearance Pill is a non-cultivation type pill, its effect only being to preserve looks, but it is even more scarce than ordinary cultivation pills.
Besides the fact that most won love beauty by nature,
The main reason lies in its challenging pill formation rate and quality assurance.
The Youthful Appearance Pill, apart from using Magical Power to lock the facial skin’s blood and energy, slightly touches upon the secret of ti. If one cannot capture that trace of ti’s power during alchemy, ensuring quality is very difficult.
In the market, a Tier One Youthful Appearance Pill, even at Middle Grade, can only maintain looks for no more than ten years and has so tolerance; its price has already reached about fifty Spirit Stones.
Before acquiring Bai Yi’s Anomalous Fire, when Li Jizhou refined Tier One Youthful Appearance Pills, most were of Middle Grade quality too.
However, now he is disdainful of refining Tier One Youthful Appearance Pills, aiming directly for Tier Two top-grade Fixed Face Pills.
Fixed Face Pills are extrely scarce on the market, mostly hoarded by pill pavilions as rare treasures, auctioned at high prices periodically.
"Oh, by the way, Pill Master Li, a cultivator nad Yang Xiaofu has been waiting for you at the entrance for seven days. Shall I let him in?" Jin i suddenly rembered to ask.
"Yang Xiaofu?" Li Jizhou was slightly taken aback; this man was indeed the patriarch of the Yang family by Qingshui River and Yang Yuyan’s biological father. However, Li Jizhou had not had much contact with him.
What is he here for?
It’s unlikely he just learned about
sleeping with his daughter and ca for an explanation, right?
"Show him in," Li Jizhou replied openly, without fear.
Moreover, this was his ho ground.
Once Jin i left, Li Jizhou imdiately ordered Black Xuan to activate the eyes on its back and then retracted Bai Yi back to his Dantian.
At present, although the Pill Fire he uses in alchemy borrows Bai Yi’s physical foundation, its power is only ten percent, but after retracting Bai Yi into his body, he can also use Bai Yi against enemies.
Directly throwing Bai Yi over, unleashing its divine power in an instant, just relying on Bai Yi’s fiery power, a Middle Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator could be reduced to ashes if caught off guard.
However, this easily depletes Bai Yi’s essence, and should not be used lightly unless in ergencies.

"Yang Daoist, please forgive, there are so house rules that must be relayed to you," at the door, Jin i led Yang Xiaofu inside while explaining so rules.
For Steward Jin i, who hailed from the Golden Sun Sect, Yang Xiaofu dared not show the slightest negligence, imdiately bowing, "Steward Jin, please go ahead, Yang Xiaofu is all ears."
"Those residing within are all of high status, guests of the Golden Sun Sect, under its protection. After entering, you must not wander aimlessly and can only proceed to Pill Master Li’s residence," Jin i explained in accordance with the rules.
"Yang Xiaofu understands!" Yang Xiaofu replied with another bow.
Soon, Yang Xiaofu was led to the entrance of Li Mansion.
Looking at the Li Mansion before him, Yang Xiaofu still found it difficult to associate it with the Li Jizhou of the past.
A stable Tier Two Upper Grade Spirit Vein Land,
Constant protection from the Golden Sun Sect experts,
To him, such things probably only existed in dreams!
"How high is his alchemical skill?" He couldn’t help but wonder.
Having lived seventy years, he had seen over a hundred Pill Masters.
Yet, half of them could not self-sustain, so could refine Middle Grade or even Advanced Level pills, but their pill formation rates and quality assurance were lacking, the more they refined, the more they lost,
Without soone to provide practice herbs for free, ultimately, they could only refine basic pills to barely make a living.
He had never seen a Pill Master like Li Jizhou!
For a mont, his dissatisfaction regarding Li Jizhou and his daughter’s situation diminished significantly.
After a brief mont of distraction, he quickly straightened his appearance: "Pill Master Li, Yang Xiaofu of the Yang family from Qingshui River seeks an audience."
"Co in, please!"
The main door opened, and Li Jizhou sat leisurely in the courtyard pavilion.
"Patriarch Yang, please have a seat." Inviting Yang Xiaofu to sit, Li Jizhou examined his weary expression and fatigue, noting the blood streaks in his eyes, feeling a slight premonition.
"What might Patriarch Yang’s purpose in seeking
be?"
Yang Xiaofu looked at the perpetually youthful Li Jizhou before him, even more surprised; the last ti he saw Li Jizhou was at the Yang family’s 300-year celebration fourteen years ago.
Fourteen years had flown by, yet ti seed to have left no mark on Li Jizhou’s face.
"Pill Master Li, Yang is truly at his wit’s end, having no choice but to co begging at your door, I hope you can forgive ," Yang Xiaofu returned to his senses, emotions sowhat anxious.
Li Jizhou subtly frowned, imdiately waving his hand: "Patriarch Yang, I am but a humble Pill Master, with ager cultivation and limited strength, entirely unsupported; I’m afraid I can’t fulfill lofty aspirations."
"Pill Master Li is too modest; with your current status and position, there might be hope," Yang Xiaofu hastily added.
"The situation is like this: since the Wen family has gradually grown stronger and secured the leading position in the Spirit Pearl Mountain market, they have begun covert revenge operations..."
"Therefore, I’m here to seek justice from the Golden Sun Sect elders for our Yang family."
In a few words, Yang Xiaofu explained the situation clearly.
Four years ago, the Wen family made a coback against the tide, and then the Golden Sun Sect publicly supported the Wen family, advocating for them against the Fenglin Wang family.
Over these years, the Wen family gradually stabilized its dominance around the Spirit Pearl Mountain market.
Then they began covert retaliation.
The Qian family and Zhao family, which had previously aligned themselves correctly, beca its front runners, frequently targeting the Yang family since last year.
With the Wen family secretly backing them, the Yang family suffered heavy casualties.
Now the Yang family is truly unable to hold out and wishes to request the Golden Sun Sect to intervene.
However, Yang Xiaofu ca in person as the patriarch to the Golden Sun Sect for assistance, but was t with closed doors.
The elder who once publicly stated that if the Wen family retaliated, they could co to him to file a complaint was nowhere to be seen.
Helpless, he could only contact Wu Daniu to find Lin Caiwei’s contact information.
However, Lin Caiwei claid she was of low status and not qualified to et the elders, dodging the request.
Nevertheless, she unexpectedly told him that Li Jizhou is now in the Upper City District of Immortal City, with an unmatched status and position, suggesting he might give it a try.
Listening to Yang Xiaofu’s account, Li Jizhou’s expression paused slightly.
He wasn’t sure if Yang Xiaofu was too naive, or if the Golden Sun Sect elder from four years ago acted too convincingly.
He really ca to complain? Doesn’t he understand that’s the Golden Sun Sect’s of younger house?
Or maybe, the Yang family is truly desperate, trying even if the hope is slim.
After a mont of silence, Li Jizhou lifted his head: "Patriarch Yang, if you are solely focused on eting Golden Sun Sect elders, I, rely a Loose Cultivator, am powerless.
However, if you are concerned about the life and death of the family, I might have so insights, would Patriarch Yang be willing to hear them?"
