Chapter 151: Chapter 134 Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm (Congratulations to Alliance Hierarch zzyzzx123)_2

Alchemy of a Foundation Establishment Pill was a rare opportunity for a Second Rank Alchemist and was basically never refused.

"If my alchemy wasn’t so poor and there wasn’t a high chance of failure on the first attempt, it wouldn’t come to asking someone else."

Though he had the help of the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron, Fang Xing had practiced for too short a time. Now, he was only somewhat confident in producing First Rank Top Grade Elixirs—the so-called ’confidence’ being merely in achieving pill formation, even if the result was of Inferior Grade; he could still remedy it later through nourishing.

His real level in Alchemy was probably around First Rank Mid-grade at best, far from the Second Rank Elixir like the Foundation Establishment Pill. If he started the furnace, he would definitely ruin it, with no chance of rescue.

"But to find someone to do it, I need to gather all materials for a Foundation Establishment Pill."

"I have a Second Rank Demon Core, which is the most important main material... Other auxiliary materials, the small sects and families here will definitely have their own reserves waiting for opportunities. As soon as the wind gets out, there will surely be people looking to collaborate... And, I get to choose first!"

The ingredients for a Foundation Establishment Pill are most precious with a Second Rank Demon Core, so according to alchemy rules, once there’s only one genuine core, the cultivator who contributes the highest valued materials gets to choose first... Of course, he must also compensate the other collaborators with Spirit Stones.

Actually, an Inferior Grade Foundation Establishment Pill didn’t really matter to Fang Xing.

After all, he had the Ten Thousand Transformation Cauldron to neutralize the pill toxins.

"That might be worth a try..."

Fang Xing wasn’t afraid of others undercutting him.

In the vast Purple Swallow Immortal City, the strongest were those at the Fake Core level!

His true self was not only a Grandmaster of the Dragon Elephant Skill, with a physique comparable to a Second Rank Top Grade Demon Beast, but he had also mastered the Great Vajra Wisdom Divine Power to the Master level, able to unleash eightfold combat power!

In the Cultivation World, if there were eight cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, they would probably dare to join forces to attack a Fake Core cultivator.

What’s more, an eightfold increase in combat power was not as simple as the sum of eight cultivators’ power; it was an exponential explosion of strength!

A Fake Core cultivator, if not careful, might just be beaten to death!

’If they try to cheat me, then let the true self step in, might even make a bit more... If in the end, the Purple Swallow Real Person protects the shortcoming, just beat her to death, and then go mix in other Immortal Cities...’

Fang Xing silently commended himself for his cleverness.

...

The next day.

Fang Xing went out, prepared a gift, and planned to look for an Alchemist.

"Within Purple Swallow Immortal City, there are three Second Rank Alchemists qualified to concoct Foundation Establishment Pills, all with similar fame... They are Huo Xuanzi, Zhou Family Ancestor, and Floating Pith Loose Cultivator... These three are Foundation Establishment Cultivators, renowned far and wide for their alchemy."

"The Floating Pith Loose Cultivator is a Loose Cultivator, said to be amiable, but Fang Xing looks down on him. After all, without a home or employment, without any ties, there’s no weakness. Should he develop malevolent thoughts, there’s no restraint."

The last one is the Zhou Family Ancestor; he has many weaknesses, after all, with such a large family displayed in front.

"So, let’s choose the Zhou Family Ancestor..."

The Zhou Family owns a Second Rank spiritual land, ’Purple-Blue Pool,’ as their clan estate, but the Zhou Family Ancestor also has a residence in Purple Swallow Immortal City assigned for all kinds of alchemy tasks.

"Such Foundation Establishment Family ancestors often rely on their clan’s power to succeed. After Foundation Establishment, they also bear the burden of their clan. Once they die, the Immortal Clan will decline... It’s actually quite tiring, and the key is that their cultivation often finds it hard to progress. The Zhou Family Ancestor originally had decent talent, but after breaking through Foundation Establishment, there has been no word of him surmounting another realm..."

Fang Xing arrived at the Zhou residence and knocked on the door.

"May I know who is visiting?"

A Qi Cultivation Early Stage Maid opened the door and asked without surprise upon seeing Fang Xing.

"My surname is Fang, I’m here to seek alchemy from the Zhou Family Ancestor."

Fang Xing smiled, his Qi Cultivation Late Stage power completely undisguised, which even in Purple Swallow Immortal City would make him a noteworthy individual.

"Please leave your name card, our Ancestor is currently busy with other elixirs. Once there’s a slot, someone will be dispatched to notify you according to the name card."

The Maid seemed to be well-trained, answering very methodically.

"Oh?"

Fang Xing chuckled and pulled out a golden-edged calling card, "Here are the elixirs I wish to concoct and the prepared ingredients. Go and inform your family elder."

"Yes!"

The maid immediately took the calling card and bowed before leaving.

She entered the inner residence, passed through an array, and arrived at an Earth Fire Room.

The floor here was covered in a kind of warm, reddish jade, and the temperature around them rose.

In the center of the fire room was a reddish pill furnace. An old man with white hair and skin tight and firm, without a single wrinkle, was gazing indifferently at the fire conditions of the pill furnace.

"Xin’er... What is it?"

Zhou Family’s elder held a spiritual artifact fan and asked indifferently.

"A Qi Cultivation Late Stage cultivator has come outside, specifically requesting alchemy," Zhou Xin hurriedly bowed and handed over the golden-edged calling card.

"Qi Cultivation Late Stage... Never mind, wait until the elder is free and then inform him... This furnace of ’Returning Breath Pills’ is Second Rank... You should watch carefully; of everyone in the Zhou Family, perhaps only you are able to grasp a bit of the alchemy technique."

Zhou Family’s elder looked at Zhou Xin with a bit of a sigh in his heart.

Actually, this granddaughter, who was removed by so many generations, had some talent for alchemy, but not much.

There was no other choice considering the situation of ’In the land of the short, the tall one will stand out.’ She was the only option.

The reason was simple: one can preferentially choose disciples with superior spirit roots and astonishing comprehension.

But one cannot simply discard sons, daughters, grandsons, and granddaughters with poor talent.

This was the shortcoming of a family of cultivators: they couldn’t ensure that every generation had geniuses, whereas sects could cast a wide net and pick the best of the best.

Therefore, in the Fertile Wilderness, it was always sects that dominated mainstream cultivation, with Immortal Cultivation Families serving only as a supplement.

Zhou Family’s elder glanced again at the fire conditions of the pill furnace before casually opening the golden-edged calling card. His expression suddenly changed, "This... Xin’er, quickly go to the gate and invite this distinguished guest in. Make sure to treat him well... Once I’ve finished this furnace of Returning Breath Pills, I’ll immediately go out to see him."

"Yes!"

Zhou Xin’s heart stirred upon seeing this scene, aware that they had encountered an extraordinary customer.

’Could it be his status is astonishing, or is the elixir he wishes to concoct valuable? If it’s the latter... That would mean...’

Seemingly coming to some realization, Zhou Xin’s eyes flickered.

Outside, Fang Xing waited for a moment before seeing the maid who had left before, returning to invite him respectfully into the parlor. She also presented him with spiritual tea and pastries, causing him to smile slightly.

"This tea is not bad... It has a unique flavor, and these pastries taste pretty good too."

He drank the tea and tasted the pastries with a carefree attitude, occasionally making a few comments.

Zhou Xin, seeing this scene, felt that their guess about this gentleman’s extraordinary identity might have been more apt.

After all, this was a Foundation Establishment residence. Which Qi Cultivator wouldn’t be trembling with apprehension when they come to the door?

Her demeanor softened even more as she spoke softly, "May the distinguished guest know, this tea is ’Mist Mountain Tea’ of Second Rank, produced by Misty Mountain Villa, and there’s not much harvested each year... Even my family elder tastes just a pot or two on occasion. This ’Fish Fillet Paste’ is a specialty of my Zhou Family, made from spiritual fish blended with Spirit Rice from our Purple-Blue Pond... Our Purple-Blue Pond is somewhat renowned in Zheng Country; it produces a type of ’Purple-Blue Carp’ that is a small dragon species, with the fish king possessing a trace of Flood Dragon Bloodline. Every catch is directly reserved by the Myriad Beasts Sect..."

Zhou Xin spoke proudly, but Fang Xing heard a tinge of sadness in her voice for the Zheng Country’s cultivation realm, where the good things were being divided up by the three major Immortal Sects.

For a cultivator, time was the least valuable thing.

After waiting a day, Fang Xing saw a fat old man with the youthfulness of a crane-haired child enter the parlor with a fan in his hand, laughing heartily, "I am Zhou Yuantong, and I have the honor to meet the distinguished guest!"

"Fang Xing, I have the honor to meet the elder."

Fang Xing stood up and gave a slight bow.

His demeanor, neither servile nor overbearing, made Zhou Yuantong a bit uncertain. Within Zheng Country, there seemed to be no Immortal Cultivation Family with the last name Fang.

And within the three great Immortal Sects, there seemed to be no standout true inheritors with the last name Fang...

He immediately sat down with a cheerful laugh, not talking about alchemy but instead started chatting about everything under the sun, trying to figure out Fang Xing’s background.

Fang Xing’s conversation was evasive and indirect, leaving Zhou Yuantong unable to confirm any details, which made him feel somewhat frustrated...
