Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

Su Liyan patted Lu Yuan's shoulder: "Very good! I believe you can do it."

"If you need my help, please feel free to let me know."

Lu Yuan nodded solemnly: "Thank you, Miss Su."

"Your help means a lot to me."

Lu Yuan stood physically and mentally exhausted in the alchemy room of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion, with three crystal clear top-grade heart-suppressing pills placed in front of him.

He successfully refined these elixirs and planned to give them to Taishang Daozu.

Taishang Daozu personally came to Leihuo Dan Pavilion and cordially praised Lu Yuan's achievements.

"Lu Yuan, for being able to successfully refine so many high-quality heart-soothing pills, you are truly a treasure in the world of cultivation."

Lu Yuan smiled and said humbly: "The Supreme Daozu is too praised. This is all the joint efforts of Miss Su and I."

Taishang Daozu looked at Lu Yuan with loving eyes: "I know that you have put in a lot of effort for this."

He took the three high-grade heart-suppressing pills in his hand and expressed his deep gratitude.

"These mind-soothing pills are very important for cultivators, as they can help them calm their minds and break through bottlenecks."

"Your contribution will bring huge changes to the world of cultivation."

Lu Yuan's face darkened slightly: "Tai Shang Dao Ancestor, please be sure to pay attention to the risks that may be hidden behind the Heart Control Pill."

Taishang Daozu looked at Lu Yuan in surprise: "What's the risk?"

"Can you elaborate?"

Lu Yuan replied with firm eyes: "I have studied the refining method of the Heart Zhen Dan. Its basic raw material contains an herb called 'Ghost Leaf'."

"This herb is extremely rare and only a very few people know it."

"And I guess there may be some force behind it controlling the circulation of this herb."

Taishang Daozu pondered for a moment and then nodded: "Your speculation makes sense."

"I will send someone to investigate this matter. For the world of cultivation, any elixir that has a huge impact requires us to remain highly vigilant."

While they were talking about the possibilities of the future, Zi Xi'er inadvertently approached the alchemy room.

Hearing their conversation, she couldn't help but come closer out of curiosity: "What happened, you two?"

"I heard you mention the Heart-Suppressing Pill and the Ghost Leaf."

Taishang Daozu smiled and explained to Zi Xi'er: "Miss Zi Xi'er, this is the top-grade heart-suppressing elixir refined by Lu Yuan."

"They can help cultivators calm their minds and break through cultivation bottlenecks."

A trace of curiosity flashed in Zi Xi'er's eyes: "So that's it."

"Lu Yuan, why do you want to remind Taishang Daozu of the risks behind the Heart Control Pill?"

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and said seriously: "I suspect that there are evil cultivators lurking in Tianfeng City. They may use the Ghost Sect to attract other demonic cultivators to sneak into the city."

"Therefore, I am worried that the monks in Tianfeng City will face a greater crisis."

Zi Xi'er frowned: "The evil cult and the Ghost Sect?"

"The Ghost Sect has power in Tianfeng City?"

Lu Yuan nodded: "Yes, according to my speculation, they may have used a spiritual medicine called 'Quiet Fruit' to attract other demon cultivators into the city."

"That way, they can implement more actions internally."

Zi Xi'er was silent for a moment, with a solemn expression: "We must take measures to protect the monks in Tianfeng City from the influence of the evil cult and the Ghost Sect."

"If they get the high-grade heart-suppressing pill, the consequences will be disastrous." Taishang Daozu also showed extreme concern: "I will immediately notify the cultivation masters in Tianfeng City to protect this land together."

"Lu Yuan, please come too."

Lu Yuan nodded after careful consideration: "Okay, I will do my best to protect Tianfeng City and the world of cultivation."

Lu Yuan closed his eyes and sat quietly in the secret room of Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion.

He gathered his mind, mobilized the spiritual power in his body, and began to perform the spiritual planting technique.

He had just recently mastered this powerful technique, which allowed him to cultivate rare spiritual herbs in a short period of time.

His consciousness entered a void, and he began to interface with the spiritual plant.

Lu Yuan took a deep breath and poured his will into it.

As he concentrated and mobilized his spiritual power, small green seedlings began to grow out of the void.

The leaves of these seedlings are soft and ethereal, exuding a light fragrance.

Lu Yuan concentrated on observing their growth process, and used his spiritual power to adjust the temperature, humidity and nutrient supply.

Several hours passed, and the last Ziyunzhi seedling finally grew.

Ziyunzhi is a rare herbal medicine unique to the Zi Xi'er family. It has extremely high medicinal efficacy and rareness.

Being able to use this as a bargaining chip to attract support from other cultivation sects is undoubtedly a wise choice.

Lu Yuan looked at the growing purple versicolor with satisfaction, and his heart was full of joy.

He realized that through spiritual planting, he could solve the resource problem faced by Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion and improve its competitiveness in the market.

Just as he was about to leave the secret room, Zi Xi'er walked in.

Seeing Lu Yuan fighting with the spirit seedlings, she couldn't help but smile and said, "It seems you have mastered the spirit planting technique."

Lu Yuan nodded happily: "Yes, this technique is really magical."

“I was able to cultivate all kinds of rare herbs in a very short period of time.”

Zi Xi'er walked to Ziyunzhi and observed it carefully: "This Ziyunzhi grows very well. It is our best bargaining chip to attract allies."

Lu Yuan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, through this purple versicolor and other rare herbs, we can increase the funds and resources of the Thunder Fire Dan Pavilion."

They considered the recent potential threats that the Ghost Sect and cults might pose to Tianfeng City, so they needed more support.

Lu Yuan plans to strengthen ties with other sects, especially the Black Flame Sect, who control many resource-rich spiritual herbs.

"We should find the masters of the Black Flame Sect and win their support." Zi Xi'er suggested.

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Yes, they can provide us with more resources and help."

"At the same time, we also need to improve the competitiveness of Leihuo Dan Pavilion in the market."

"There is a spiritual grass in my family called 'Cold Lotus', which can enhance the potential and strength of cultivators."

Zi Xi'er suggested: "We can use this rare spiritual grass as a bargaining chip to attract other cultivation sects."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement: "This is a good idea."

"We will definitely be able to achieve our goals if we work together."

They then discussed the specific plan and decided to go to the Black Flame Sect to visit the leader of the Black Flame Sect.

As time went by, Lu Yuan continued to sell refined elixirs and rare spiritual grains in the market, which brought a certain amount of liquidity to Leihuo Dan Pavilion and attracted the attention of many customers.

They successfully increased the competitiveness of the Thunder Fire Pill Pavilion through the rare herbs unique to the Zi Xi'er family, especially the Ziyunzhi and Hanfulian. (End of chapter)
