Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation

Facing Liu Jiuchan's obviously displeased attitude, Li Ji'an did not choose to play the fool or back down this time.

Otherwise, what use would the promise he obtained be?

He took out the guest elder identity token of the Nine Tripod Chamber of Commerce from his storage bag, and then released a bit of his pure mana.

“Senior, please calm your anger. I am a person who knows how to repay kindness. If I am fortunate enough to establish my foundation and become a second-order alchemist in the future, I will definitely live up to your actions today.”

The guest elder identity token showed financial resources, and the pure mana showed the potential for foundation establishment.

With just these two points, a smart person would understand.

What's more, the Immortal City has now changed ownership, and an excellent Foundation Establishment Pill was just auctioned off yesterday, indicating that resources like Foundation Establishment Pills will no longer be controlled by the upper-level forces of Cangyun Prefecture as they were before.

If it were before, even if Li Ji'an revealed his wealth and potential, he might not have had any hope of establishing his foundation.

But now, as long as he has financial resources and a relationship with the Chamber of Commerce, the possibility of obtaining a Foundation Establishment Pill is very high.

“Hmph!” Liu Jiuchan snorted coldly, her eyes slightly narrowed, but the anger from just now dissipated a lot.

She didn't need to care about a rogue cultivator who established his foundation.

In her understanding, even if Li Ji'an was a guest elder of the Chamber of Commerce, it would not be possible for a first-order alchemist to accumulate enough wealth for a Foundation Establishment Pill in a year or two. By the time he truly established his foundation, she might already be in the middle or even late stage of Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, even if a rogue cultivator had a Foundation Establishment Pill, whether he could successfully establish his foundation was another matter.

However, if he was a second-order alchemist… she wouldn't care, but her family wouldn't underestimate him.

After pondering for a moment.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in Liu Jiuchan's eyes.

“I said, I am not a person who goes back on my word, and I would not bully a junior like you. You just wait.”

After saying that, she fluttered away in her red dress.

Li Ji'an raised an eyebrow: “It's done.”

“Greetings, Ninth Elder.” Liu Jiuchan arrived at the beast pill room on the third floor, and the manager inside hurriedly greeted her.

“Bring me the blood pill from before.”

The manager was immediately stunned and carefully recalled.

“Is it the one that was developed a few years ago?” After a moment, the manager remembered and asked aloud.

Liu Jiuchan nodded.

The manager's eyes lit up instantly: “Is someone willing to buy this pill?”

The promotion of demonic beasts is mainly based on bloodline evolution, and blood pills are refined from the essence blood of high-grade bloodline demonic beasts, combined with many heaven and earth spiritual materials, which can stimulate the bloodline of demonic beasts, promote bloodline evolution, and ultimately achieve the purpose of transformation and promotion.

However, demonic beasts also have the five elements, and the effect of stimulating non-compatible bloodlines is greatly reduced. Generally, those who buy blood pills will determine the compatibility of their spirit pets.

In previous years, a clan elder who specialized in beast pills had a whim and developed dual-element blood pills, mainly targeting the amphibious spirit pets that the clan had always wanted to cultivate but had not succeeded, the representative of which was the Zhu Toad.

In theory, this kind of spirit beast possesses the bloodline of the ancient desolate divine beast, the Heaven-Devouring Zhu Toad, but all the ones cultivated were low-grade bloodlines, and none had successfully advanced to the second order in decades.

Earth-attribute blood pills and water-attribute blood pills had both been tried.

In the past, other amphibious spirit beasts, such as the Teng Snake and the Three-Headed Lizard, only needed to choose their main attribute to advance.

So that elder tried to refine dual-element blood pills, with half earth attribute and half water attribute, which theoretically would be more in line with the bloodline stimulation of amphibious spirit beasts.

As a result, not only did the amphibious Zhu Toad fail to be tested successfully and was completely abandoned.

The stimulating effect of this pill on other spirit beasts was even halved, and most of them failed to advance.

That furnace of ten blood pills consumed a lot of the clan's essence blood of two compatible high-grade bloodline spirit beasts, as well as countless two-element heaven and earth spiritual objects, and the cost was twice as high as ordinary blood pills.

It had already been abandoned, but a piece was accidentally discovered during inventory last year.

He had been racking his brains on how to dispose of this blood pill.

“Don't ask what you shouldn't ask.” Liu Jiuchan took the blood pill and turned to leave.

Not long after,

When Li Ji'an saw Liu Jiuchan again, she had a cold and arrogant look on her face, with her chin raised and her eyes full of impatience.

“This pill is worth two thousand in the market, I'll give you a 40% discount.”

“Senior is true to your word and of noble character, I admire you!” Li Ji'an immediately cupped his fist and said nice words, but he kept a wary eye in his heart.

This woman is moody and scheming, and does not seem to be a kind person, she should not be so generous.

Immediately, Liu Jiuchan threw the blood pill over.

Li Ji'an immediately checked it with his spiritual sense.

The shape, color, and taste were all normal, undoubtedly a genuine blood pill.

“Hmm? A fusion of earth and water elements? Is this specially customized for amphibious spirit beasts like Guagua? Does she know that my spirit beast is a frog?”

“What are you dawdling for?” Liu Jiuchan urged after throwing the blood pill.

While Li Ji'an was wondering how Liu Jiuchan knew that his spirit beast was Guagua, he hurriedly took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it back.

The latest novel is first published on the 69 book bar!

“The promise of that day has been fulfilled, and there will be no more contact between you and me, step back.” After receiving the spirit stones, Liu Jiuchan couldn't wait to issue an eviction order, as if she didn't want to look at Li Ji'an for another moment.

—

“Could it be that she sensed Guagua's existence when she was at Flame Mountain?”

“Is it because Guagua was cultivated and sold by their clan, so they have some special beast control method that can sense it?”

It wasn't until he left the Liu family's residence that Li Ji'an understood this matter.

This made him more wary of the Liu family, and he would never let Guagua appear near the Liu family unless there were special circumstances in the future.

Looking back at the Liu family's residence, Li Ji'an's brows relaxed.

Although there were some minor twists and turns, the result was still satisfactory.

Not only did he save eight hundred spirit stones more than he expected, but it was also a blood pill specially designed for Guagua's dual attributes, which was satisfying.

It wasn't until he left the inner city that Li Ji'an came to a remote place, fully opened his spiritual sense, and checked himself all over, including the blood pill, again, confirming that there were no marks or strange auras, before walking back.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Guagua's keen sense of smell instantly smelled the scent, and jumped from Xiao Qiao's side to Li Ji'an's side.

Li Ji'an touched its frog head: “Your nose is quite sensitive.”

After speaking, he took out the blood pill.

“In order to buy you this blood pill, I have suffered all kinds of humiliation and spent a lot of money, you must strive to live up to my expectations.”

After speaking earnestly, he threw the blood pill directly to it: “Don't rush to take it yet, adjust your state to the best, and then I will give you a Spirit Replenishing Pill, and strive to do it in one go!”

“Gua~” Guagua caught the blood pill in one bite, put it into its mouth's universe, and then its two big watery eyes looked at Li Ji'an with heartache, and the whole frog stood up, wanting a hug.

Li Ji'an pushed it away with a slightly disgusted expression: “Successful promotion is the greatest reward for me.”

Then he ignored it and entered the alchemy room to sort out the gains from this auction.

“These three auxiliary medicines are almost the rarest among the auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the other auxiliary medicines are much simpler. Now the only thing missing is the main medicine—Nine Star Tuckahoe. Zhao Shuyao should be back soon, right?”

The pill formula of the Foundation Establishment Pill has been optimized and improved almost from generation to generation, and now the best formula is no longer a secret.

The second-order inheritance that Yan Qingwan obtained back then also recorded it clearly.

According to Li Ji'an's years of experience in alchemy, coupled with the in-depth understanding of that second-order inheritance, even if he started refining the Foundation Establishment Pill now, there would not be much problem, at most, he could not ensure the quality, but he had confidence in the pill formation, after all, no matter how it changes, it cannot deviate from its origin, and the skills that can refine first-order excellent pills, including the control of the pill fire, the allocation of spiritual pressure, and the grasp of timing, are almost perfect.

Of course, now, in addition to the main medicine, there is also a lack of a second-order alchemy furnace.

On this day, Li Ji'an once again came to the inn where Alchemist Mo was staying according to the soul imprint.
