762. Chapter 760: Exploration of Alchemy and Formations

Each refinement requires precise ingredients and meticulous operation; any mistake in detail could lead to failure.

He carefully placed each medicinal ingredient into the pill furnace, controlled the fire, and under his superb use of immortal arts, the temperature inside the furnace gradually rose.

However, at this critical moment, suddenly came the sound of someone lightly knocking on the door from outside.

"Lu Yuan! Lu Yuan!"

"I heard you are refining Fruit Power Pill!"

"I also wanted to obtain this pill to increase my cultivation."

That was Zi Xi'er's urgent and excited voice.

Zi Xi'er traveled with Lu Yuan and shared many cultivation experiences.

Lu Yuan's heart jolted; he hadn't expected Zi Xi'er to come knock at this time.

After a brief thought, he decided there was no need to conceal his alchemical activities.

He opened the door and said with a smile, "Xi'er, you indeed know I'm refining pills here."

"It's fine; I happen to have just succeeded in making a batch of Fruit Power Pills."

Zi Xi'er happily clapped her hands: "Great!"

"How lucky; I happen to need it right now."

Lu Yuan smiled and led Zi Xi'er into the room.

He handed over the crystal-clear Fruit Power Pills one by one to Zi Xi'er, explaining.

"These Fruit Power Pills are specially used to increase cultivation speed."

"Just take them as needed."

Zi Xi'er received the Fruit Power Pills and carefully examined the crystal-clear pills.

Her heart filled with gratitude, yet she did not forget to ask: "Lu Yuan, making this Fruit Power Pill must be very difficult, right?"

Lu Yuan shook his head: "Actually it's not that difficult; only precise control of fire and ingredient ratios is needed."

"Of course, I have some special auxiliary immortal arts that can raise the success rate of refinement."

Zi Xi'er lifted her head, eyes flashing with curiosity: "Then could you teach me a bit of pill-making technique?"

"I also want to learn to enhance my strength."

Lu Yuan pondered a bit, feeling this request was not excessive, and Zi Xi'er was one of his closest companions.

A faint smile appeared on his face as he said: "Alright, I can impart some basic alchemy knowledge and techniques to you."

"But remember, pill-making requires patience and meticulousness; one must not be careless."

Zi Xi'er happily nodded: "Thank you, Lu Yuan!"

"I will study diligently."

The two exchanged cultivation insights and experiences, spending much precious time in this quiet, comfortable room.

After the Fruit Power Pills were fully digested, Lu Yuan felt the surging qi within his body begin to change.

He knew the Fruit Power Pills had initially taken effect.

What he needed to do next was to quickly stabilize this qi and accelerate into the second stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation.

Half a year passed in a flash, and Lu Yuan finally reached the third stage of Foundation Establishment.

On his cultivation path, he had faced various challenges and trials, but he persistently adhered to his goals and beliefs.

Now he has become a powerful cultivator, capable of mastering and employing profound immortal arts.

Just as Lu Yuan's cultivation power reached its peak, he received news from Xueying that South Deep had fallen into enemy hands.

This news filled Lu Yuan's heart with unease and anxiety.

He knew the cultivation world of South Continent faced a great crisis; as a responsible cultivator, he decided to immediately return to Curio City and seek help to ensure his safe arrival.

Not long after returning to Curio City, Lu Yuan received aid and protection from Hong Lietian, the Sect Leader of Youhun Sect.

Hong Lietian is a perceptive figure who has long traveled the continents cultivating, possessing rich experience and knowledge.

He informed Lu Yuan of the tense situation in South Deep and provided some intelligence.

As South Deep faced crisis, Lu Yuan was anxious and urgently needed to meet with Su Liyan to discuss countermeasures.

In Curio City, Su Liyan is one of Lu Yuan's closest companions; she possesses ice-system immortal arts and can provide auxiliary support to the team.

She is Lu Yuan's confidant, and the two have always supported each other.

Lu Yuan and Su Liyan set a meeting place at the upscale spirit-food restaurant called Spiritflavor Inn.

This place is often frequented by cultivators, renowned for its abundant and delicious refined spirit food.

Lu Yuan arrived punctually at Spiritflavor Inn and waited for Su Liyan's arrival.

Just then, an elegant woman walked into Spiritflavor Inn.

She wore splendid yet unpretentious attire, her bearing graceful.

This woman is named Yan Hui, holding a senior management position at this high-end spirit-food restaurant.

She is worldly-wise, adept at socializing, and has extensive connections within the cultivation world.

Yan Hui saw Lu Yuan waiting in a private room, quickly approached him, and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"I am Yan Hui; I'm delighted to meet you here."

Lu Yuan also smiled, stood, and returned the salute: "Hello, Miss Yan."

"I heard you are a senior manager here; it is an honor to converse with you."

Yan Hui smiled, sat down, ordered a few signature dishes, and then began chatting with Lu Yuan.

They talked about the impending events and their possible impact on Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Lu Yuan told Yan Hui of his worries and hoped to obtain her help and advice.

Yan Hui quietly listened to Lu Yuan's narration; after he finished speaking, she said thoughtfully, "Mr. Lu, I understand your sense of responsibility toward Lei Huo Dan Ge and the predicament you face."

"As one of the managers of a high-end spirit food restaurant, I also have some connections in the cultivation world; I can try to provide you with some resources and support."

Lu Yuan realized he could not act alone in the current situation, and he thanked Yan Hui for such valuable assistance.

After returning to his private chamber, Lu Yuan focused on researching the production of a new type of pill.

He had successfully produced a pill called the Spirit Body Foundation-Consolidating Pill, and he planned to auction it to raise funds.

The opening bid for this pill could be set at one hundred thousand spirit stones, hoping to obtain a good price.

Before the auction began, Lu Yuan decided to use his free time to further study the basics of formations.

He knew formations were very important for cultivators, and mastering some basic knowledge would greatly aid his future cultivation.

Over these days, Lu Yuan squeezed out some time each day to study formations.

He opened a book and earnestly studied its principles and applications.

He tried drawing a few simple formation diagrams, then, by circulating immortal power through his mind and spirit, attempted to activate their energy.

Although it felt strenuous at first and some complex principles were hard to understand, Lu Yuan did not give up.

He firmly believed that with persistent effort, he would eventually achieve a breakthrough.

Day after day of diligent study and practice gradually enabled Lu Yuan to master some basic formation knowledge. (End of chapter)
