135. Chapter 135: Great Sun Tathagata Palm (Celebrating for Alliance Leader zzyzzx123)

"By the way, Nephew Fang..."

Zhou Yuantong twisted the name card in his hand: "This time... you want to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill? Did you really collect the main material?"

"Naturally, please look..."

Fang Xing took a box out of his storage bag and threw it over casually.

Zhou Yuantong opened it and saw the Rank 2 vulture monster bird's inner core, his eyes couldn't help but light up.

After testing it slightly, he nodded repeatedly: "It really is a Rank 2 demonic beast inner core, Nephew has good luck... I once went deep into the desolate land with a friend and killed seven Rank 2 demonic beasts, but in the end, I gained nothing... I don't know where Nephew got this Rank 2 demonic beast inner core..."

"Why? Do you need to ask about the source of the main material when refining pills now?" Fang Xing chuckled: "That was naturally obtained by chance."

"Haha, what a chance encounter; this is heaven wanting Nephew to obtain a Foundation Establishment Pill."

Zhou Yuantong laughed, feeling a bit solemn in his heart.

Is this Qi Condensation cultivator's confidence a bit too much?

Ordinary loose cultivators obtain treasures and hide them; how could there be someone who directly gives him a Rank 2 demonic beast inner core like this?

"Alright, let's talk about the alchemy process..."

Fang Xing asked: "When can the senior open the furnace to refine pills?"

"This... one Rank 2 demonic beast inner core alone cannot open the furnace; it also needs auxiliary materials like Green Dragon Ginseng, Moon Essence Dew, etc..."

A look of difficulty appeared on Zhou Yuantong's face.

"This is simple, spread the word, and won't it be there?" Fang Xing smiled.

"So Nephew is prepared to refine pills together?" Zhou Yuantong's eyes flashed with light, and he stroked his beard: "With my craftsmanship, I cannot guarantee that I will form two or more pills..."

Fang Xing heard this and couldn't help but be speechless.

According to the "Wan Fa Dan Jing," refining Foundation Establishment Pills with demonic beast inner cores as the main material will have a lower yield than orthodox materials.

But if an alchemy grandmaster takes action, they can guarantee five pills per furnace, and every one is a premium product!

If it's an alchemy master, they can barely guarantee four or five pills per furnace, with genuine and premium products mixed.

As a result, when it comes to Zhou Yuantong, he can't even guarantee two pills.

'Sure enough... are the cultivators here just too weak?'

Fang Xing smiled: "Anyway, I can choose first; I have a small family fortune, enough to compensate... besides, maybe the senior's alchemy skills are brilliant, and two or even three pills are formed, wouldn't that be the best of both worlds?"

He thought for a moment and continued: "However... according to the rules of refining precious medicinal pills, we must observe from the side."

"Naturally, Nephew, please keep this inner core safe; wait for me to spread the word and look for other fellow Daoists..."

Zhou Yuantong very openly returned the inner core to Fang Xing and let the servants take Fang Xing to the guest room to rest.

"Dan Laozu?"

Zhou Xin saw this scene and couldn't help but be thoughtful.

"Hehe..."

Zhou Yuantong waved his hand, and a light screen restriction appeared, isolating the inside and outside.

"This kid seemed grand and atmospheric before, with a feeling of coming from a famous family, almost deceiving me... but if he really had a background, why find me to refine pills? What's more, he couldn't even gather the auxiliary medicines for the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

Zhou Yuantong stroked his beard and chuckled.

"Dan Laozu means?" Zhou Xin's eyes lit up.

"My Zhou family must produce another Foundation Establishment cultivator to be stable... your sixth uncle has long been at the perfection of Qi Condensation, but he is just missing a Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Zhou Yuantong said: "In the family, there should be a Green Dragon Ginseng... as for Moon Essence Dew, go to the Zheng family to exchange for it; gathering a set of auxiliary materials is not a big problem. You immediately take my hand order, go to the family to allocate medicinal materials, and by the way... bring your sixth uncle and twenty-seventh uncle over."

"Yes!"

Zhou Xin was solemn, bowed with her skirt in hand, and then retreated gracefully.

She looked at the direction of the guest room where Fang Xing lived, shook her head secretly in her heart, and sighed: 'This is bad fate... if the ancestor forms two genuine pills, maybe there is a glimmer of hope, otherwise...'

……

A few days later.

Fang Xing was invited to the living room again: "Oh? Your Zhou family is prepared to cooperate with me?"

Zhou Yuantong laughed: "Exactly... I thought about it, spreading this matter out is easy to be disadvantageous to the little friend, so why not do it privately... it just so happens that my Zhou family has some savings of medicinal materials; after going back and counting them, gathering a set of auxiliary materials is not a problem, look!"

Beside Zhou Yuantong, there were two other Qi Condensation cultivators standing.

One of them was a rough-looking man whose cultivation had reached the perfection of Qi Condensation; at this time, he patted the storage bag at his waist, and a jade box appeared.

After opening it, he saw a green ginseng inside, which actually faintly had a dragon shape.

The other Qi Condensation cultivator had the image of a middle-aged scholar and a scholarly appearance; he also took out a jade bottle from his storage bag, inside which was a drop of condensed dew, faintly seeping out the shape of a bright moon.

"Green Dragon Ginseng, Moon Essence Dew..."

Fang Xing nodded.

"This Green Dragon Ginseng has a medicinal age of five hundred years... Moon Essence Dew is also a premium product, and the remaining twenty-seven ordinary auxiliary materials are all ready in my mansion; what does Nephew think?"

Zhou Yuantong laughed.

"Everything is up to the senior. However... what if only one genuine pill is formed?"

Fang Xing scanned the circle, his voice slightly low.

"Naturally, Nephew chooses first, and you just need to compensate us with three thousand five hundred low-grade spirit stones..."

The rough-looking man and the middle-aged scholar looked at each other and said.

"Good!"

Fang Xing nodded and suddenly asked: "Is there a Rank 2 spiritual contract? For such an important matter, it's safer to sign a contract first..." "This..."

The rough-looking man and the middle-aged scholar looked at each other and looked at their ancestor.

"Haha, of course there is!"

Zhou Yuantong looked official and took out a Rank 2 spiritual contract, writing the conditions one by one: "I will sign first..."

For this kind of spiritual contract, names and such are not important at all; what is important is the magic power imprint of the cultivator.

If one wants to be even more stringent, one adds a bloodline imprint.

Zhou Yuantong flicked his sleeve, and a circular mark formed on the spiritual contract and handed it to Fang Xing.

Fang Xing looked at it, nodded, and also dropped a magic power, transforming into a white-golden sword seal.

"Done... please come with me to the alchemy room."

Zhou Yuantong chuckled and took Fang Xing and the others to the alchemy room.

"Everyone, do not get within a zhang; I am going to start."

Zhou Yuantong's expression was serious, and he cast a magic formula.

On the wall, a scarlet ancient beast head opened its mouth and spat out clusters of rich geothermal fire.

His hands were like butterflies, and he began to warm the pill furnace.

Zhou Xin's eyes lit up slightly: "Dan Laozu's set of fire control formulas is becoming more and more proficient."

But she knew clearly that this set of hand formulas from the ancestor had an extraordinary origin, so he moved extremely fast, unlike usual when he deliberately slowed down to let her observe.

Fang Xing pretended to be an alchemy novice, staring with clear eyes, as if he didn't understand at all.

In fact, he could see a few points of the way in this set of formulas, feeling that although it was not as good as the techniques on the Wan Fa Dan Jing, it also had the effect of drawing inferences about other cases.

It just so happened that he had a video recorder in his arms, which he could record and then slow down frame by frame to observe after going back.

Although the immortal cultivation world has items like "Image-Recording Stones" and "Sound-Recording Talismans," they all have magic power fluctuations.

The Zhou family ancestor couldn't imagine that there were mortal mechanisms that could record without magic power; at this time, he went all out, putting medicinal materials into the pill furnace one by one, refining them into different medicinal liquids and powders...

Then, it was the Rank 2 demonic beast inner core and two main auxiliary materials...

The time to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill exceeded three days.

During this period, Fang Xing and several Qi Condensation cultivators were sitting cross-legged, occasionally taking a grain-avoidance pill.

Finally...

"Open!"

Zhou Yuantong cast a magic formula, and the original scarlet pill furnace opened with a bang, and the amazing pill fragrance overflowed.

But seeing a blue stream of light shoot out like lightning, it was grabbed by Zhou Yuantong in his hand.

He glanced at it, and a trace of embarrassment suddenly appeared on his old face.

"How did the pill form?"

Fang Xing asked casually, seemingly not worried at all.

"Sigh..."

Zhou Yuantong sighed leisurely and opened his palm, seeing a blue medicinal pill inside, its medicinal properties restrained, like a sapphire.

Only on the gemstone, there was a black line.

"I am ashamed; this time opening the furnace, I only got one inferior Foundation Establishment Pill..."

Zhou Yuantong looked at Fang Xing, but saw Fang Xing's calm face, and couldn't help but be surprised: "This... may I ask if Nephew still needs it? If you take this inferior Foundation Establishment Pill, the spirit stones for the auxiliary materials still have to be paid..."

"This is not urgent."

Fang Xing suddenly smiled: "I heard that among alchemists, there is a 'Pill-Hiding Method' that can hide finished medicinal pills in the pill furnace; I don't know if it's true or false? Do you dare to let me check the pill furnace?"

"Bold!"

The two Qi Condensation cultivators surnamed Zhou immediately shouted angrily: "What kind of private item is a pill furnace; how can we let you check it?"

"I have been refining pills for many years, and I still have this bit of credibility... what's more, little friend, do you not believe me? There is still a Rank 2 spiritual contract!"

Zhou Yuantong looked serious.

"As long as a Foundation Establishment cultivator is willing to pay a heavy price, they can still breach the contract... what's more, I have seen a real Rank 2 spiritual contract; the one you gave before, although it looks very similar, is missing a bit... it's probably just a defective product, and the price paid for breaching the contract is smaller, isn't it?"

Fang Xing stood with his hands behind his back, with the demeanor of an expert.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yuantong was instead suspicious and uncertain.

A silver token appeared in his hand, and with just a wave, the mansion was covered by a layer of earthy-yellow radiance.

After doing all this, Zhou Yuantong felt relieved and looked at Fang Xing, a trace of ferocity appearing on his face: "Since you've seen through it, wouldn't it be better to take that inferior Foundation Establishment Pill and leave?"

He had played tricks before, and the Rank 2 spiritual contract he took out was indeed a defective product, but he also had to pay a little price.

If Fang Xing took the inferior Foundation Establishment Pill and left, it could be considered completing the agreement, and he wouldn't have to suffer backlash.

What's more... this person might have some background, and might have even told his friends before coming to refine pills.

If an accident happened and it was spread out, it would greatly affect the Zhou family ancestor's reputation.

Therefore, he prepared to use an inferior Foundation Establishment Pill to fool him; even if this person went out and shouted, it would at most be that his performance this time was not good.

For a Foundation Establishment Pill, it was worth it!

He didn't expect this kid to directly speak it out... I don't know what he has to rely on?
