Chapter 473: Starting Alchemy

"Xiao Jiu, did you succeed?"

When Su Fan came out, Su Wanjun immediately stepped forward and asked with some excitement.

"Hmm!"

Su Fan nodded: "Clan Head, let's leave first. The great battle here will probably alarm the Golden-Backed Iron Wolf over there."

Su Fan's divine sense had already discovered that the Wolf King was rushing here.

Although the great battle just now was in an underground cave, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that was stirred up was still felt by the Wolf King.

That Wolf King's sense of smell was also extremely strong.

Of course, Su Fan didn't fear it, but he didn't want the trouble. If the other party really didn't care about anything and chased after them.

That would be even better; he could finish it off in the wilderness, and it would be done without anyone knowing.

However, Su Fan didn't think the other party would chase after them. Wolf-type demon beasts were fierce, but they were also more vigilant.

Their vigilance toward danger was often clearer than that of ordinary demon beasts of the same level.

So he feared the other party wouldn't chase out of the Liuyun Mountain Range.

In fact, it was just as Su Fan had said. Su Fan even deliberately slowed down his speed, but the other party chased from behind and stopped after exceeding the range of the Liuyun Mountain Range.

"What a vigilant beast."

Clan Head Su Wanjun also sighed.

He also knew Su Fan's strength, so naturally, he didn't fear that beast. As long as that beast arrived, they could kill another one.

The journey back for the two was peaceful, although in this wilderness, cultivators were often attacked by demon beasts.

But Su Fan and Su Wanjun were experts of the Purple Mansion level. With this strength, very few demon beasts would attack them.

Even second-tier demon beasts didn't have strong intelligence, but they could still feel danger.

So they soon returned to Zixu Shangren's cave dwelling, and the Great Elder had already been waiting here.

In reality, after Su Wanjun's Purple Mansion celebration, Su Shi'an had left. After all, the spirit vein at Yuntai Mountain was only enough for the other three Foundation Establishment cultivators to barely breathe and cultivate.

And with the improvement of his cultivation, the spirit vein of Yuntai Mountain was no longer suitable for his cultivation.

"Clan Head, Xiao Jiu, did you succeed?"

Seeing Su Fan and Su Wanjun rushing back, covered in dust, Su Shi'an hurriedly stepped forward to welcome them, and naturally, his first sentence was the same as Su Wanjun's.

"Haha! Not bad. Xiao Jiu slew two third-tier Golden-Winged Ants this time and obtained two inner cores."

Su Wanjun also answered with a smile.

"That's great!"

Su Shi'an was overjoyed upon hearing this.

With two inner cores, there would be two chances to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill. Although Su Fan was already a third-tier high-grade alchemist, the difficulty of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was still very great.

Many third-tier high-grade alchemists would fail on their first attempt at refining, and even if they succeeded on the second or third attempt, they would only refine one or two, and the success rate was extremely low.

It was also thanks to the high value of the Foundation Establishment Pill that it wouldn't be a loss.

In reality, the cost of the Foundation Establishment Pill was not high, but few people refined it because in Zheng State, the main ingredient for the Foundation Establishment Pill, the Golden Jade Ganoderma, was controlled by the Yunyang Sect, and even the Taihe lineage found it very difficult to obtain.

Every time the Taihe lineage refined the Foundation Establishment Pill, the main ingredient was still the inner core of a third-tier demon beast. That Taihe Ancestor would secretly lurk in the wilderness, looking for third-tier demon beasts to slay.

So there were rarely any losses in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, but this was only in Zheng State. To say how profitable the Foundation Establishment Pill was in those major countries, that was not very likely.

Because in the Nanli State, the price of the Foundation Establishment Pill was also around 10,000, and sometimes even lower than 10,000 spirit stones.

However, external powers could buy one or two, but if they wanted to buy more, they had to be a major caravan.

Otherwise, those markets wouldn't let too many Foundation Establishment Pills flow out.

"Xiao Jiu, the other auxiliary spirit herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill have all been prepared. When will you refine them?"

The Su family had long since begun collecting other spirit herbs. The auxiliary spirit herbs for this furnace of Foundation Establishment Pills were worth about 10,000 spirit stones.

"Hmm! I'll refine a few furnaces of other spirit pills to practice first, then I'll refine the Foundation Establishment Pill."

Su Fan knew that Su Shi'an and the others were anxious in their hearts.

However, he didn't care, and he was quite confident.

In the Evolution Space, he didn't know how many times he had tried.

And his alchemy had already reached the limit of third-tier high-grade. As for fourth-tier spirit pills, although the Su family had obtained them from Zixu Shangren, the spirit herbs required for these two spirit pill formulas were very difficult to collect.

After all, in Zheng State, fourth-tier thousand-year spirit herbs were truly rare.

Of course, the Foundation Establishment Pill was not easy to refine, especially the formula using third-tier demon beast inner cores, because processing this inner core was extremely cumbersome.

Wanting to refine this inner core and turn it into pill liquid was extremely taxing on the mind, and one also had to remove the demon qi from the demon beast inner core.

After all, the Foundation Establishment Pill was for Qi Refining cultivators to take. If the demon qi of a third-tier demon beast was not removed cleanly, for a Qi Refining cultivator, it would be a disaster.

Even if you could refine it successfully, it would be useless.

Fortunately, these were not very difficult for Su Fan. After all, Su Fan's cultivation and divine sense were far beyond those of cultivators of the same level, and even the divine sense of many fourth-tier alchemists couldn't compare to his.

After telling Su Wanjun and Su Shi'an, Su Fan came to an alchemy room below the cave dwelling.

There was a fire vein at the bottom of this cave dwelling, and that alchemy room was also built by Zixu Shangren.

But now it was all cheap for Su Fan and the others.

Although a long time had passed and the fire vein of the alchemy room had fallen, Su Fan had re-channeled it out before.

Arriving at the alchemy room, Su Fan summoned the Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace and placed it in the center of the alchemy furnace.

Speaking of this Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace, it had to be said that Su Fan had picked it up from the stall of that eighth-layer Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Spirit Peach Market.

After returning to Zheng State, Su Fan unsealed the seal inside and revealed its original appearance.

Su Fan refined it and learned that this Ziyang Furnace belonged to a Ziyang Zhenren and was a fifth-tier high-grade dharma treasure.

As for why this furnace was sealed, Su Fan didn't understand, but he guessed that perhaps that Ziyang Zhenren had been plotted against.

Fifth-tier high-grade was absolutely a top-tier dharma treasure, and even in the entire Nanhuang Continent, it was rare, and it wasn't certain that they even possessed it.

It could be said that such a treasure was extremely precious even to those top-tier hegemon sects.

The owner who possessed it must also have had a cultivation that was not low.

It was just that Su Fan was in a small country in Nanhuang, and he knew too little about the news of the cultivation world. He didn't know who that Ziyang Zhenren was.

However, he knew that this was absolutely a treasure.

And he could be considered to have picked up a big leak. Of course, he wasn't too happy.

Although this fifth-tier high-grade dharma treasure was precious, Su Fan felt that it might not necessarily be comparable to his bone spear.

After all, in terms of lethality, the bone spear was comparable to a sixth-tier dharma treasure. ===== CHAPTER 474 =====
