Chapter 463: Foundation Establishment Pill Formula

Magic tools, Spirit Talismans, medicinal pills, and Spirit Stones—the value of these four items alone is no less than 150,000 Spirit Stones, and there are also some miscellaneous materials that Su Fan and the others estimate to be worth no less than 20,000 to 30,000.

What remains at the end are various jade slips and books; these include travelogues from various places, as well as cultivation techniques, Magic Techniques, and even secret arts.

Among them, there are sixty-five jade slips and over a hundred books.

After a rough sorting, there are seventy-six types of Qi Refining cultivation techniques and Magic Techniques, excluding duplicates; twenty-one volumes of Foundation Establishment cultivation techniques; and six volumes of Purple Mansion Level techniques.

Of course, there are also pill formulas; excluding those already possessed by the Su Family, there are eighteen new pill formulas: six for First-tier, ten for Second-tier, and even two for Third-tier pill formulas.

The value of these is even greater, especially since there is the pill formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This is something Su Fan and the others had never imagined.

The Foundation Establishment Pill is a medicinal pill used by Qi Refining cultivators for Foundation Establishment; logically, it should be classified as a Second-tier pill, yet in reality, its price and the primary materials required for it all require resources of at least Third-tier or above.

Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Pill is classified as Third-tier Upper Grade, or even at the level of Fourth-tier.

Of course, it is not necessarily true that the price of a Foundation Establishment Pill formula is very high; for a family that does not have a Foundation Establishment Pill formula, this formula is indeed a priceless treasure.

Almost very few Foundation Establishment families can obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, and even some Purple Mansion families do not have the Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

But for true major powers, the Foundation Establishment Pill formula really has no value.

For the Su Family, this Foundation Establishment Pill formula is an unexpected joy; originally, the Su Family had planned to purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill formula from the Yunyang Sect or the Taihe Lineage.

However, the price to be paid to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill formula from these two parties is very high; secondly, these two parties also have some conditions—firstly, that upon obtaining the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, the Su Family can only refine Foundation Establishment Pills for their own use and cannot use them for commercial purposes.

This point is no secret in Zheng Guo.

Secondly, the Foundation Establishment Pill formula can only be for your own use and cannot be passed down; of course, one could purchase a Foundation Establishment Pill formula from an Inheritance family, but the price would increase several times over.

Several Purple Mansion families in Zheng Guo have all obtained Foundation Establishment Pills from the Yunyang Sect, but they could only be used for the family and could not be traded.

Of course, unless your strength can exceed the Yunyang Sect, then you do not need to follow this rule.

But now that the Su Family did not obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill formula from the Yunyang Sect, if they refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, they will not need to follow this rule.

This is a good thing, so the Clan Leader and the Great Elder were extremely happy to see this Foundation Establishment Pill formula, because from now on, the Su Family will not need to worry about Foundation Establishment Pills.

They might even be able to trade with other families.

"Clan Leader, Great Elder, don't be happy too early; although we have the Foundation Establishment Pill formula, the primary herb for this Foundation Establishment Pill is a troublesome matter."

Although Su Fan could not bear to dampen their spirits, he still said this.

"Moreover, the Foundation Establishment Pill is a Third-tier pill; generally, only a Third-tier Upper Grade Alchemist can refine it, and its success rate is very low. Only a Fourth-tier Alchemist can truly refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Listening to Su Fan's words, Clan Leader Su Wanjun and Great Elder Su Shi'an suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured over their heads, and they quickly calmed down.

The burning heat in their hearts was also extinguished quite a bit.

"Xiao Jiu, weren't you able to refine Second-tier Upper Grade pills before? I imagine becoming a Third-tier Upper Grade Alchemist shouldn't be too far off, right?"

The Clan Leader was still calm; he quickly thought of something and looked at Su Fan with burning eyes. He thought that Su Fan was a reincarnation; even if he was not an alchemist in his previous life, with his current realm, it would definitely not be difficult for him to become a Fourth-tier Alchemist.

After all, it didn't take him long to become a Second-tier Upper Grade Alchemist.

"Hmm! Being a Third-tier Alchemist is not difficult for me; it won't be long before I can also refine Foundation Establishment Pills."

"But the materials for this Foundation Establishment Pill are not so easy to obtain, especially the primary herb, the Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma, and these Millennium Golden Jade Ganodermas are all controlled by the Yunyang Sect."

"Wanting to obtain them from their hands is not that simple; as for the other auxiliary materials, it is not that easy for the Su Family to gather them either."

Su Fan shook his head; the primary herb for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Jade Ganoderma, requires a thousand years to be effective, while ordinary hundred-year-old Golden Jade Ganodermas are not considered very precious.

But the thousand-year-old ones are strategic resources for major powers and will not be easily brought out.

At the Lingtao Workshop, Su Fan had once intended to collect them; although he did not have the Foundation Establishment Pill formula at the time, the primary herb for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill is common knowledge in the cultivation world.

Unfortunately, he did not succeed; none of those medicine shops would sell them, even if he offered a higher price.

So Su Fan knew that to obtain a Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma, one must either cultivate it within one's own family or go deep into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

There must be Millennium Golden Jade Ganodermas in the Ten Thousand Mountains, yet the Ten Thousand Mountains are extremely dangerous, and who knows how many Fourth-tier and Fifth-tier Demon Beasts are inside; who would dare to go there easily?

"This..."

Now the Clan Leader was speechless; one can refine pills, but if there is no primary herb for refining, it is like a clever housewife struggling to cook without rice.

Su Fan could do nothing about this; it was impossible to ask him to go to the Yunyang Sect and rob them now. Not to mention his strength, even if he had the power, he would not do it easily.

Moreover, the Yunyang Sect definitely does not have many Millennium Golden Jade Ganodermas; otherwise, they would not only refine Foundation Establishment Pills once every twenty or thirty years.

Sometimes, they don't even use Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.

Besides using the Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma spirit herb to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, there is another method, which is to use the Inner Core of a Third-tier Demon Beast to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It is just that the Foundation Establishment Pill formula obtained this time is not a method of pill refining based on Demon Beast Inner Cores, which is something Su Fan secretly regrets.

Compared to the Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma, Su Fan feels that the Inner Core of a Third-tier Demon Beast is actually easier to obtain.

After all, there are still many Third-tier Demon Beasts; with his strength, secretly hunting a few Third-tier Demon Beasts is easy and not too difficult, and it wouldn't even alert any Fourth-tier Demon Beasts.

"Clan Leader, let's put the matter of the Foundation Establishment Pill aside for now; at worst, we can go to other places in the future to see if we can acquire another pill formula for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Su Fan naturally knew that the Clan Leader was anxious; because the family has had more resources in recent years, the family disciples' cultivation has also accelerated a lot.

There are more and more new-generation disciples being promoted to Elders.

The older generation of Elders are already too old and have passed the time for taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, but for the new generation, most are not yet sixty; this is the best time. Once missed, they will be like the older generation of Elders.

The Clan Leader naturally does not want the new Elders of the family to miss this opportunity; there was no chance before, but now that the Foundation Establishment Pill formula is right in front of him, he does not want to miss it.
