Chapter 645: Alchemy

"To think you achieved Foundation Establishment on your own?"

"Hiss..."

The heads of each branch and Li Zitong all gasped: "That was too risky! Fortunately, the ancestors protected you and you succeeded in one go, otherwise it would have been troublesome."

"Remember, in the future, if you encounter such things, prioritize your own survival. We old folks are dead if we die; you younger generation, the fresh blood, are the hope for the family's continuation."

Under the admonitions of a group of elders, Aaron humbly expressed his acceptance, then sat in the main seat.

Seeing this scene, Li Zitong's expression changed slightly, but he said nothing.

Xiaoyue Mountain.

After all, those female cultivators with poor aptitude would break their heads trying to become a maid to a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

'So even the intensity of the fire is this particular? There are dozens of Dharma Seals... representing different temperatures? I thought it was just described as gentle fire, martial fire, big fire, and small fire... The ancients were truly not stupid.'

Therefore, he stood directly to the side, just as he had done when facing Li Ruyu before, becoming the Supreme Elder's assistant and the family's assisting administrator.

"No need to say more, my mind is made up, and... starting tomorrow, the family industry will fully transition toward spirit herb cultivation and spirit pill sales!"

By now, he also knew that he had to fully support Li Qingjing; completing the handover of family power was the best choice for the Li Family.

The second stalk, the third stalk...

I am willing to abide by those old orders! The interests of you old folks will not be infringed upon either!

Ancient Zhongyuan always emphasized governing the world through filial piety, precisely because the order established this way is the most effortless!

Although Aaron didn't care about this at all, he didn't mind picking up this fig leaf.

'Alchemy techniques... fire control Dharma Seals...'

For example, today, he didn't fail to keep Zhang Lingxiao as Li Zitong thought, but was simply too lazy to kill enemies for the Li Family.

As for that old man, although she couldn't say she liked him, thinking that he had at least gifted her a Spirit Talisman, she couldn't say she hated him either.

"This is also a matter of no choice; from today on, my annual tribute will be halved!" Aaron put on a look of righteousness.

Looking at the various processed medicinal materials on the wooden shelf, and the Purple-Gold Three-Legged Beast-Ear Pill Furnace at the center, Aaron did not move, but sat cross-legged and took out a Jade Slip to begin contemplating.

Aaron first respectfully mourned the deceased elders.

Of course, he didn't practice the Phantom Demonic Mental Method, so he wouldn't cause himself to suffer from Qi deviation.

Sure enough, after he said this, the expressions of those elders all became much better, especially Li Zitong's.

With the Third-tier Alchemy Inheritance in hand, theoretically, Aaron could even attempt to refine pills useful to Golden Core Cultivators.

Li Qinglan remained silent.

"Then I will trouble the Patriarch to take half of the Spirit Stones in the family treasury tomorrow to handle the arrangements."

Li Zitong pondered for a moment and replied: "There is an Inner Sect Elder who had a very good private friendship with Li Ruyue, and is trustworthy."

"Yes, yes..." everyone echoed one after another.

An alchemy inheritance, and a Second-tier one at that!

This is much more profitable than bitterly farming and selling Spirit Rice!

He knew that this woman was the biggest flaw in his disguised identity, but he ultimately couldn't bring himself to take action.

"You... from now on, follow me and be a personal maid."

"Hmph, don't mention him!" Aaron snorted coldly: "He went missing not long after entering Dongmen Valley; he must have feared the great battle and run away first!"

"Supreme Elder, even if we don't cultivate, we cannot cut your supplies," Li Zixing of the Third Branch spoke up: "You are our only hope!"

After walking a distance with Aaron, Li Qinglan suddenly asked: "What about him... Guest Elder Huang?"

However, she had no intention of going back on her word.

Li Zitong's eyes shone, and his hands were trembling: "This is a Second-tier Alchemy Inheritance! Haha... the Sanshan Association was destroyed well, destroyed wonderfully!"

In reality, it was also prioritizing his own interests, not some bullshit family interest.

"The rise of my Li Family starts today!"

"Besides this, there is the Qingding Sect. Because of Li Ruyue's accident... our side was actually not summoned, but I still went to Sanshan Peak to fight alongside several clan brothers and Guest Elders... This matter must be reported to the Qingding Sect immediately for appeal, and supplemented with heavy bribes, only then can we ensure the Li Family is safe!"

Therefore, he could only keep this woman by his side and monitor her closely.

At this moment, only a sigh remained in his heart.

Aaron nodded and came to the alchemy room.

Aaron walked out of the ancestral hall and saw the distracted Li Qinglan.

But in reality, he would certainly have to start practicing with the lowest-tier Qi Refining pills.

"This time from Sanshan Peak, besides a few High-grade Magical Tools, I also obtained an incomplete Second-tier Alchemy Inheritance."

After sitting cross-legged in meditation for a night, feeling the progress of his cultivation method, Aaron couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.

Aaron coughed: "This is a major matter, concerning the future rise of my Li Family, you must keep it secret!"

"This time Li Ruyue unfortunately fell, his descendants must be well taken care of..."

The heads of the other branches were also overjoyed.

Aaron stated the biggest purpose of his return.

'Alchemy is best done with spirit fire, followed by earth fire; earth fire is the most stable, and the Innate True Fire of a Foundation Establishment cultivator can also be attempted... but it is best not to use charcoal fire...'

The first spirit herb... slightly touched a trace of demonic fire, and it was gone...

"Please rest assured, Ancestor, whoever dares to leak this matter is a sinner of my Li Family!"

"What? Transition into an alchemy family? But our family has no alchemy inheritance? And no alchemist..." Li Zitong widened his eyes.

Suddenly, everyone thought of something and looked at Aaron one after another.

"Clan brother... no... Supreme Elder!"

"Yes!"

With such a formidable enemy of a Foundation Establishment family present, the Li Family can unite more closely around him, can't they?

Walking out of the practice room, Li Qinglan was already waiting outside: "Supreme Elder... the first batch of Spirit Medicine from the family has already been delivered."

The original Cave Abode of Li Ruyu was now unceremoniously occupied by Aaron directly.

"Please rest assured, Supreme Elder." Li Zitong had completed the change in address without even realizing it: "It is just that the family's expenditures will inevitably have to be reduced..."

After reading through it once, Aaron was eager to try his hand at practicing with the Black Sun Demon Fire.

As 'Li Qingjing', he could at least stay here for another one hundred and fifty years or more!

Furthermore, he would receive the full support of the Li Family, and the corresponding price for this was that he must disguise himself just like Li Ruyu and contribute to the development of the Li Family.

Aaron waved his hand grandly: "Now is not the time for frugality; we must absolutely not be careless."

"Not bad, not bad... it's almost comparable to my Water Curtain Cave Abode."

Aaron began to hold forth with great vigor, looking at Li Zitong: "Does our Li Family have any trustworthy connections within the Qingding Sect?"

I am very respectful to the elderly!

After all, this is the section with the most abundant Spirit Qi; it is absolutely impossible to leave it unattended or keep it as a memorial for future generations or anything like that.

Li Qinglan agreed out of instinct, a flush of red flashing across her delicate, demure face.

After ruining all the Spirit Herbs in the entire room, Aaron reached a conclusion: "This Black Sun Demon Fire doesn't seem to be very suitable for alchemy?"

Although this was of no use whatsoever, it was a way of expressing his intentions.

He stood up and walked out of the alchemy room with a look of utter frustration on his face.

Li Qinglan, who was waiting outside, immediately stepped forward to pay her respects, while feeling immense admiration in her heart: "As expected of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, is alchemy really this fast?"
