Chapter 476: Temptation

"Xiao Jiu, you've come out of seclusion." Su Fan had been out of the alchemy room for half a year. Originally, alchemy shouldn't have taken more than three months, but during the alchemy process, his cultivation had improved, so he went into seclusion for three months, and his cultivation improved to the third layer of the Purple Mansion.

The power of the soul seed was being absorbed by him at all times, so even if he didn't cultivate, his cultivation was improving.

It was equivalent to hanging up.

His cultivation improved very quickly. Less than twenty years after opening the Purple Mansion, he had broken through two levels.

If placed in the outside world, it would be absolutely shocking. Even a Heavenly Spiritual Root cultivator probably wouldn't cultivate as fast as he did.

You must know, he wasn't taking pills.

Three months of time allowed his cultivation to settle, and only then did Su Fan come out of seclusion.

As soon as he came out, he saw the Great Elder and the Clan Head, both of them looking at him with bright eyes, their expressions filled with anticipation.

"Haha! I didn't fail the mission."

Su Fan took out the porcelain bottle, and the Clan Head and the other immediately spread their divine sense to look.

Immediately, they were full of surprise: "Hahaha!"

"That's great!"

Seven Foundation Establishment Pills were more than they had imagined. They had originally thought that having three would be quite good.

They hadn't expected Su Fan to give them such a big surprise. Seven Foundation Establishment Pills, if all used for the Su family, might produce five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

At that time, the Su family's strength would advance further.

Who wouldn't want more and more Foundation Establishment cultivators in the family?

The Clan Head and the Great Elder were as happy as fools. They couldn't help but be happy. The appearance of these Foundation Establishment Pills meant that the Su family could produce Foundation Establishment cultivators continuously from now on.

"Clan Head, Great Elder, of the seven Foundation Establishment Pills, you can take one for the Bai family, and you can decide the use of the other six."

"However, I still hope that the Third Elder and the others can take the Foundation Establishment Pill. They have contributed too much to the family. Even if they don't succeed this time, as long as I am here, the family won't be short of these few Foundation Establishment Pills."

Su Fan suggested.

The spirit herbs for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, aside from the main ingredient, although collecting the other auxiliary spirit herbs was not easy, as long as the Su family wanted to collect them, they could still do it.

Even if Zheng State didn't have them, at worst, he would run to the Nanli State again; the cultivation commerce there was developed.

Perhaps major markets would restrict the sale of large quantities of Foundation Establishment Pills, but they wouldn't have too many restrictions on those spirit herbs.

Auxiliary spirit herbs were not too precious; major powers only needed to control the Millennium Golden Jade Ganoderma.

So in Su Fan's view now, the Foundation Establishment Pill was no different from ordinary third-tier spirit pills.

It wasn't particularly precious.

"Hmm! Xiao Jiu, rest assured. Shaoquan and the others have contributed to the family over these years, and Shi'an and I have seen it all. These few Foundation Establishment Pills will be given to them to take first."

"As for those juniors who are still young, they can wait. And didn't you refine the Vein-Protecting Pill? You can let them attempt it."

"If they can succeed, their potential will be even greater. Even if they fail, it doesn't matter. Having experienced a life-and-death tempering, Su Fan believes that most ninth-layer Qi Refining cultivators will undergo a transformation, and their next Foundation Establishment, even without a Foundation Establishment Pill, might be more certain."

Su Wanjun naturally knew what Su Fan meant. In fact, he had this idea even without Su Fan's suggestion.

After all, compared to the family disciples who had reached the ninth layer of Qi Refining in recent years, these Elders of the Shao generation had contributed much more to the family.

Especially during those years when he was in seclusion to heal and cultivate, the family was also supported by these Elders.

The contributions of these Shao-generation Elders to the family were no less than his own.

"Then the matter of the Bai family and the family will be handled by you, Clan Head."

Su Fan nodded. He didn't want to get involved in family affairs; with this time, he might as well cultivate more.

The Elders of the family had the ability and responsibility, and he had no desire for power.

If he hadn't been reincarnated into the Su family, he wouldn't even want to stay in the Su family for long.

But karma—Su Fan was clear that he was born in the Su family, so he couldn't be separated from the Su family. The best way to resolve karma was to improve the family's strength.

"Xiao Jiu, is it time to attack the Liuyun Mountain Range next?"

The Clan Head looked at Su Fan.

"Exactly! However, this time, when attacking the Liuyun Mountain Range, aside from me, you can invite some Foundation Establishment cultivators, or even Purple Mansion cultivators. As long as they participate, they can share a portion of the spirit veins of the Liuyun Mountain Range."

"Let the family disciples also go along to participate in the tempering."

There were five spirit veins of third-tier or higher in the Liuyun Mountain Range. The Su family only needed to take three; the other two were for the Yunyang Sect and the Taihe lineage.

This was also to let them send Purple Mansion cultivators to sit in town. After all, there was gain only if there was loss.

As for those forty-plus second-tier spirit veins, the Su family could occupy half, or even a large majority, and the rest would be for other cultivation families.

But this "giving" was not giving for free.

They wanted to obtain a second-tier spirit vein without putting in any effort.

How could there be such a good thing?

"I will invite them, but I'm afraid not many people will follow."

Su Wanjun said.

"It doesn't matter. Attacking the Liuyun Mountain Range was never meant to rely on others. Letting them follow is just to strengthen the relationship with the Su family. In the future, our Su family will also become like the Taihe lineage."

"Even surpassing the Taihe lineage and the Yunyang Sect, naturally, we will need a large number of cultivators."

Su Fan also knew that those cultivators in the cultivation world were all people who wouldn't see the rabbit and wouldn't release the eagle, but he didn't care. If they didn't come when invited, the price they would have to pay to join the Liuyun Mountain Range and obtain spirit veins in the future would be much greater.

The Su family had Foundation Establishment Pills, so they wouldn't have to worry about no one coming to the Liuyun Mountain Range, just like the Taihe lineage back then.

As long as one or two Foundation Establishment Pills were taken out, countless cultivators would join the Taihe Mountain Range.

Especially those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, who were the most eager.

Yu County Bai family.

"Foundation Establishment Pill!"

Bai Yuan looked at the Foundation Establishment Pill in Su Shi'an's hand, extremely shocked. Although the Su family had mentioned it to him before, he hadn't thought that the Su family would take out a Foundation Establishment Pill so quickly.

"This was refined recently."

Smelling the medicinal aura of the pill, Bai Yuan asked even more surprised: "The Su family can refine the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

As far as he knew, the Yunyang Sect and the Taihe Mountain Range hadn't refined Foundation Establishment Pills recently, and the Su family had collected some auxiliary spirit herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill some time ago.

This kind of thing couldn't be hidden. After all, those auxiliary spirit herbs could be noticed by anyone with a heart.

"Exactly! This Foundation Establishment Pill was refined by the Su family."

"Brother Bai, what do you think of the Su family's previous proposal?"

Regarding the previous marriage plan, the Su family had proposed it, and Bai Yuan had returned to discuss it with the Bai family Elders, and everyone had no objections.

Although pushing their own disciples out didn't sound very good, in reality, the Bai family had no choice.

Continuing to raise them was fundamentally impossible, and they had to go out to make a living themselves, so it would be better to join the Su family.

The Su family had developed extremely quickly over these years, and their resources had greatly increased. Coupled with the fact that there were not many family disciples originally, joining the Su family might allow them to live better.

Moreover, the two families had intermarried for several generations, and between them, whether cultivators or mortals, they all had blood ties.

Not to say they were inseparable, but they were close relatives. Joining the Su family didn't meet with much resistance from many disciples. ===== CHAPTER 477 =====
