Gou Zaixiu Immortal World Gets A Wife

Chapter 86: Improving the Quality of Foundation Building Pills (Seeking Subscriptions)

Just as Li Guanxuan walked to the door and prepared to open it, he suddenly sensed someone outside trying to push the door open and immediately took a step back.

The door was forcefully pushed open and collided with the side, making a loud bang.

Li Guanxuan furrowed his brows slightly. If he hadn't been aware in advance, he might have had an intimate encounter with the door.

The person standing at the door also paused for a moment, apparently not paying much attention to the fact that someone was standing inside. But upon realizing that the other party was only a Qi Refining ninth level cultivator, he arched his hand and said, "Sorry."

After speaking, this person walked past Li Guanxuan and went in without saying anything else.

In the early stage of Foundation Building, wearing a gossip alchemy robe, he should be a second-grade middle or upper-grade alchemist... Li Guanxuan glanced at the old man. The old man's hair and beard were already gray, but his eyes were still spirited.

Strangely, Li Guanxuan had never seen this person at the Silver Maple City Myriad Manifestations Pavilion branch.

"Shopkeeper Zheng, good news, good news!" After the alchemist entered, he laughed heartily.

Zheng Huangjin had noticed this scene long ago and furrowed his brows slightly, giving Li Guanxuan a apologetic look, meaning to apologize on behalf of the alchemist.

Then, Zheng Huangjin asked, "Alchemist Murong, what good news do you have?"

Murong, the alchemist, took out a small porcelain bottle and placed it on the desk, quite pleased. "Please have a look, Shopkeeper Zheng."

Zheng Huangjin's eyes flashed with confusion, and he nodded slightly.

As soon as he opened the porcelain bottle, a strong medicinal fragrance filled the entire room. A faint blue light appeared at the mouth of the bottle, indicating that the quality of the pill was definitely not low.

"Life-Guarding Pill?" Zheng Huangjin was somewhat surprised. This was a necessary item for early-stage Foundation Building cultivators to break through to the mid-stage.

"That's right, a high-quality Life-Guarding Pill, guaranteed to be genuine." Murong, the alchemist, emphasized the word 'high-quality' and laughed, "Shopkeeper Zheng, I believe you should also know that there are not many people who know how to refine Life-Guarding Pills, and even fewer who can refine high-quality ones..."

"With this pill, my status as a guest of honor should be slightly improved, right?"

"Naturally." Zheng Huangjin smiled and nodded slightly, saying, "Please rest assured, Alchemist Murong. I will apply for adjustments to your treatment, and there should be a response within a month."

Then, Zheng Huangjin took out a bag of spirit stones and handed it to Murong, saying, "There are eighty middle-grade spirit stones in here. Alchemist Murong, please use them first. Myriad Manifestations Pavilion will never treat Alchemist Murong unfairly."

Murong, the alchemist, did not accept the bag of spirit stones. For him, exchanging the pill for status and treatment was the most crucial.

Moreover, high-quality Life-Guarding Pills were in high demand everywhere, so there was no need to sell them only to Myriad Manifestations Pavilion.

Murong, the alchemist, cleared his throat and hinted, "By the way, I suddenly remembered something. When the pill was formed, the medicinal fragrance spread seven miles, and the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion happened to learn about it. The shopkeeper of the pavilion personally visited my residence."

"Of course, please rest assured, Shopkeeper Zheng. Since I am a guest of honor at Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, I naturally won't refine pills for the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion. I am aware of this rule. It's just..."

Zheng Huangjin could already understand the meaning behind the words. If the treatment was not good, Murong would consider switching to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion.

Zheng Huangjin sighed, "Alchemist Murong, you should also know that although I am a shopkeeper, I am only a branch shopkeeper. I am just an employee of the headquarters. I don't have the authority to decide on adjustments to the treatment of guests of honor. Please be patient and wait for a month."

"I see." Murong, the alchemist, sighed lightly, with a hint of regret and disappointment in his eyes. He arched his hand and said, "I suddenly remembered something. I have a friend who is about to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building and happens to be in need of a high-quality Life-Guarding Pill. It's really unfortunate."

"I can only take this Life-Guarding Pill for now and give it to Shopkeeper Zheng next time."

Zheng Huangjin was also experienced and could understand the meaning behind the words. Helplessly, he smiled and had to return the pill to Murong, the alchemist.

"Goodbye."

"Safe travels, Alchemist Murong."

"..."

Just as Murong, the alchemist, was leaving, he noticed Li Guanxuan, who had been standing at the door the whole time, but he didn't pay much attention to him.

A Qi Refining ninth level cultivator, not even at the peak of the Qi Refining realm, how many spirit stones could he have?

However...

The fact that Zheng Huangjin personally met with him meant that, although he was only at the Qi Refining ninth level, he might be a second-grade craftsman.

Moreover, he had previously refined Foundation Building pills and had an inferior Foundation Building pill left in the furnace. It might be...

Thinking of this, Master Murong Dan smiled and bowed, saying, "Are you also a guest of Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, young friend?"

Li Guanxuan returned the gesture and smiled, saying, "No, I just came to talk to Manager Zheng about some things."

Master Murong Dan didn't pay attention to these details and went straight to the point, asking, "Young friend seems to be on the verge of reaching the peak of the Qi Refining ninth level. Have you prepared the Foundation Building pill?"

Li Guanxuan paused for a moment and truthfully replied, "No."

Upon hearing this, Master Murong Dan smiled and searched for a small porcelain bottle in his storage bag, then said, "I am in the early stage of Foundation Building, a second-grade intermediate pill master. I casually refined a Foundation Building pill some time ago. Since we have a connection, I will sell it to you for five thousand low-grade spirit stones."

Zheng Huangjin: "......"

Li Guanxuan laughed helplessly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it will be a long time before I can achieve it. I don't need the Foundation Building pill for now."

"How can you not need the Foundation Building pill? Since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you will eventually face the three stages of Foundation Building. Without the assistance of the Foundation Building pill, it will be difficult to succeed in Foundation Building in your lifetime."

After saying a few words with a stern face, Master Murong Dan handed the small porcelain bottle to Li Guanxuan and said, "If you find it too expensive, I can sell it to you for four thousand eight hundred low-grade spirit stones. If it weren't for our connection and my acquaintance with Manager Zheng, I wouldn't care so much about you."

"Thank you for your kindness, but I really don't need it." Li Guanxuan returned the small porcelain bottle to him.

"You, are you really..."

Seeing the firm expression on the other party's face, Master Murong Dan coldly snorted, "It's hard to persuade a stubborn ghost with good words. Without the Foundation Building pill, you won't be able to succeed in Foundation Building in your next life."

After speaking, Master Murong Dan waved his sleeve and left.

Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly and closed the door after Master Murong Dan had walked far away.

Li Guanxuan asked, "Why haven't I seen him before?"

"This person's name is Murong Li. He came from another Spirit City to Silver Maple City. Seeing that his alchemy skills were good, he was recruited as a guest of Myriad Manifestations Pavilion," Zheng Huangjin said. "But he is too eager for success. He became a guest in less than half a year and has been promoted twice. Now he wants another promotion. I told him to wait for a month, but he couldn't accept it."

As he spoke, Zheng Huangjin also felt somewhat helpless.

In any case, Murong Li was a second-grade intermediate pill master and would be welcomed wherever he went. They couldn't just send such a person to the Spiritual Treasure Pavilion, could they?

"If his heart is not in Myriad Manifestations Pavilion, there's no need to force him," Li Guanxuan said with a smile. "Brother, you've been in the early stage of Foundation Building for many years, haven't you?"

"Yes, when I succeeded in Foundation Building, you were only at the fifth level of Qi Refining," Zheng Huangjin nodded slightly, feeling quite emotional. "I didn't expect you to catch up in the blink of an eye."

"That's why, whether it's immortals or humans, they must understand the saying 'a good match makes work twice as easy.' Brother, you should find a partner too."

Li Guanxuan laughed and said, "Prepare the formulas and materials for the detoxification pill and the life gate pill for me."

Zheng Huangjin was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes filled with gratitude. He nodded slightly and didn't say much.

He knew very well that Li Guanxuan wanted these two pills for him. Over the years, in order to consolidate his realm and mana, he had taken many second-grade pills, and there would inevitably be some residual pill toxins in his body.

If he didn't resolve these pill toxins, he would never be able to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Building in this lifetime.

After preparing the formulas and materials, Zheng Huangjin smiled and said, "For the life gate pill, any high-grade or above will do. There's no need to rush. I still have over a hundred years to live."

After all, Li Guanxuan wanted to focus on breaking through to Foundation Building, and he didn't want his own affairs to cause Li Guanxuan's failure in Foundation Building.

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Li Guanxuan smiled and said, "The next time we meet, it might be three years later. During this time, I'll trouble you a bit and ignore that Murong Li."

Zheng Huangjin laughed heartily and said, "Good! With your words, I can rest assured."

...

When Li Guanxuan returned to Ping'an Garden, it was already evening.

Wen Rongxin and Qin Jiyue were preparing dinner in the kitchen. The former was stir-frying vegetables, while the latter was tasting the dishes.

Li Guanxuan walked over, hugged Wen Rongxin from behind, and smiled, "My wife is so virtuous. I'll reward you tonight."

Sensing that her husband's hands were a bit naughty, Wen Rongxin blushed and whispered, "I'm, I'm cooking, dear, please don't mess around."

"You do your thing, I'll do mine. It's only fair," Li Guanxuan pinched and rubbed here and there, feeling amazed at the flexibility and elasticity of a body cultivator.

Song Zhiqiao was delicate and slender, with a slender waist.

After stepping onto the path of body cultivation, Wen Rongxin's body became more and more flexible. The vest line on her lower abdomen was very clear, and her chest was upright and shapely.

"Go away, go away, don't bully sister here, what are you coming at me for!"

Qin Jiyue noticed that Wen Rongxin was almost out of strength, so she quickly walked over and drove the big bad wolf away.

Li Guanxuan laughed and reached out to hold Qin Jiyue horizontally, smiling and saying, "It turns out that a Foundation Building cultivator is powerful, able to withstand attacks. Even a Qi Refining cultivator at the fourth level can't leave the room."

"You bad person, you don't know how to cherish and protect me."

Qin Jiyue spat and said, "Hurry up and take care of Zhiqiao's body, otherwise you won't be able to do any more bad things tonight."

"Understood, understood..."

Li Guanxuan nodded with a smile, kissed Qin Jiyue on the lips, and then let her go.

Entering the room, Song Zhiqiao was still sleeping, and Li Guanxuan sighed in his heart.

Little Green Tea tasted the sweetness and became more and more crazy, even comparing herself to Qin Jiyue, which caused damage to the Dao.

Before he left today, he forgot to use the wood-based immortal energy to nourish Song Zhiqiao's body and Dao.

Li Guanxuan walked up, his big hand covering her flat abdomen, and passed a strand of wood-based immortal energy.

Soon, Song Zhiqiao made a soft sound and opened her eyes drowsily. When she saw Li Guanxuan, she stretched out her arms and acted coquettishly, saying, "Brother, hold me."

Li Guanxuan embraced her and said with some heartache, "Sorry, I forgot to nourish your body before I left."

"It's good to have an adaptation process. At least it can make the body adapt faster."

Song Zhiqiao nestled in his arms, her mouth curved with a smile, and said, "Brother Li, are you going to start breaking through to Foundation Building?"

"Yes, after we finish dual cultivation tonight, I will focus on improving my alchemy skills. Once I reach the second-tier intermediate alchemist, I will start refining Foundation Building pills and strive to break through to Foundation Building." Li Guanxuan said softly.

"I believe in you, Brother Li. You will definitely succeed in Foundation Building." Song Zhiqiao sweetly smiled.

...

After dinner, Li Guanxuan began to explore the Cave Mansion.

First, he went deep into the Cave Mansion of the sixth level of Body Refining, and then he discovered a Cave Mansion of the fourth level of Qi Refining and the early stage of Foundation Building. He was overjoyed and went in and out, as if looking for some treasure.

It wasn't until the next morning that he finally stopped and rested when he was tired.

This exploration of the Cave Mansion lasted for about half a month.

After absorbing and refining the immortal energy of the Velvet Flower Spirit Tree, Li Guanxuan was surprised to find that not only did his alchemy skills break through to the second-tier intermediate level, but his cultivation also reached the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, the Azure Profound Technique was also perfected.

Thick and vigorous azure qi surrounded his body, and Li Guanxuan felt the increasingly abundant wood-based spiritual energy within it, even nurturing his body to a level comparable to the ninth level of Body Refining.

"The Li family's bloodline cultivation technique not only helps people live longer than ordinary cultivators, but when it reaches perfection, it silently reaches the ninth level of Body Refining..." Li Guanxuan was somewhat surprised.

Who exactly was that Soul Formation ancestor of the Li family?

"The Azure Profound Technique can only support me until the early stage of Foundation Building. After reaching the mid-stage of Foundation Building, the power and effect of the Azure Profound Technique will greatly decrease...

At that time, I probably have to return to the Li family." Li Guanxuan sighed lightly. To be honest, he didn't want to go back to the Li family's Grand Heng Yongning Mansion.

The capital of this immortal dynasty was even deeper than the Immortal Market. The only slightly better thing was that they emphasized laws and evidence, but that was also a disadvantage.

"Let's see. If there is no suitable Foundation Building cultivation technique, I will go back and get one. It's no big deal." Li Guanxuan thought.

Although he could live forever, he couldn't escape the need for resources to break through bottlenecks and find cultivation techniques suitable for his own realm.

But this was normal.

If cultivating immortality was really that easy, everyone in the world would be at the Soul Formation or Void Refining stage.

After adjusting his state of mind and aura, Li Guanxuan began to refine pills.

He had refined Foundation Building pills many times before, so he was already proficient in the process. However, if he wanted to improve the quality of the Foundation Building pills, he had to do better in the "Integrated Union" step.

That is, completely integrate the liquid of the three-hundred-year-old spiritual medicine with the liquid of the mid-stage second-tier monster core.

The proportion must be just right, neither more nor less.

Next, he needed to inject more spiritual energy into the liquid, integrate it with the medicine, and strengthen its medicinal power. This was the key step to improve the quality.

Finally, the liquid would solidify into pills.

...

Due to the fact that there is only one set of materials for refining the Foundation Building Pill with a 30% success rate, Li Guanxuan chose to first refine the Foundation Building Pill with a 30% success rate.

After thoroughly mastering it and gaining some confidence, he would then proceed to refine the Foundation Building Pill with a 35% success rate.

Even if he failed in the end, he would accept it.

But since there are conditions now that allow him to do his best, he should try to meet his inner expectations as much as possible.

As time slowly passed, two months went by.

Li Guanxuan refined two furnaces of pills, a total of four Foundation Building Pills, all with a 30% success rate.

"I'm going to start refining the Foundation Building Pill for myself..."

Li Guanxuan took a deep breath, walked out of the cultivation room, and began a new round of storing immortal energy for cultivation.

The next morning, Li Guanxuan rested for two hours before returning to the cultivation room.

With sufficient immortal energy, everything was ready...

Start the furnace!

At first, Li Guanxuan was quite nervous. After all, he didn't have a chance to make mistakes now. Once he failed, the second-stage late-stage demon core that he had obtained with great effort would be gone.

Washing the furnace, heating the furnace, adding medicine, refining the medicine, purifying...

At this point, Li Guanxuan focused his attention, and his Foundation Building divine sense closely observed every change in the pill furnace, controlling the flame very well.

After all the harmful and useless parts in the medicinal liquid were completely expelled, Li Guanxuan breathed a sigh of relief, then slowly added the second-stage late-stage demon core and refined it.

To achieve a 35% success rate, it would depend on the "Integrated Union" step.

After all, the spiritual medicine was all three hundred years old, and only the demon core could be used to improve its quality.

If he wanted to achieve a 40% success rate, he would have to use the thousand-year-old Qianjin Vine and Purple Dan Ginseng...

But with Li Guanxuan's current alchemy skills, he couldn't extract all the medicinal liquid from the four-hundred-year-old spiritual medicine in the purification step.

The second-stage demon core slowly transformed into spiritual liquid, and then transferred to the isolation chamber.

Next, he arrived at the "Integrated Union" step.

Li Guanxuan held his breath, his spirit more focused, transferring the well-proportioned medicinal liquid to the main chamber one by one, and then transferring the spiritual liquid out.

First, let some medicinal liquid and spiritual liquid integrate, and then inject spiritual energy to enhance the medicinal power... This step was also the most dangerous for the furnace to explode.

"No problem..."

Li Guanxuan looked at the medicinal liquid and spiritual liquid, which had all been integrated according to the proportion, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Slowly injecting spiritual energy into the pill furnace, transforming it into medicinal spiritual energy, and then strengthening the power of the medicinal spiritual liquid...

The pill furnace began to shake.

Li Guanxuan's expression changed, the medicinal power was too strong, was the furnace going to explode?

Li Guanxuan slightly controlled the flame and the injection of spiritual energy. After the pill furnace stabilized a bit, he injected at a slower speed.

Only when the medicinal spiritual liquid met the quality requirements could it be cooled and depressurized to solidify into a pill.

So, this step required patience.

One month later.

Li Guanxuan looked at the medicinal spiritual liquid that had reached the target, and finally let go of his hanging heart.

The cooling and depressurizing step was the easiest, but it also required caution. If done too hastily, all previous efforts would be in vain.

With the strong fragrance of the pill spreading in the cultivation room and spreading outside, the three women in Ping'an Garden suddenly brightened up.

The husband succeeded!

"Sister Jiyue, it's up to you to protect the husband next."

Song Zhiqiao couldn't hide her smile, and sighed, "With this, our family will have two Foundation Building cultivators!"

Foundation Building, that was the realm she had longed for.

Wen Rongxin understood her thoughts and hugged her slender waist, softly saying, "Zhiqiao, rest assured, with the husband here, you will definitely succeed in Foundation Building in the future."

"I will also work hard!" Song Zhiqiao nodded.

"In addition to working hard in cultivation, we also need to work hard at night."

Qin Jiyue sighed lightly, "Because in the days to come, the husband will work harder to find us for dual cultivation."

Upon hearing this, Wen Rongxin and Song Zhiqiao's faces blushed.
