Planting an immortal tree in the wizarding world

Chapter 120 The Rules of a Cultivation Family

With Song Gaotian leading the way, Ronan was quickly settled into a spacious mansion.

The mansion is not far from the center of the eastern part of the mansion, but it is very quiet.

The mansion has a courtyard where some spiritual plants are planted.

There is also a pill-making room, which contains a pill-making furnace prepared by the Song family.

This alchemy furnace was made of a dark iron material and was almost as tall as a person.

Ronan used Hongmeng to analyze the metal of the alchemy furnace and knew that its quality was much better than his own.

The walls of the mansion were covered with a type of talisman called a "banning talisman".

According to Song Gaotian, this "restriction talisman" can block the divine sense of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage from probing.

After all, no cultivator wants their trump cards and secrets to be discovered by others.

This "restriction talisman" can be said to be a commonly used talisman for cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining and above.

In addition, the Song family also provided Ronan with three maids in the mansion.

Whether it's cooking, washing clothes, changing clothes, bathing, etc., you can order the maids to do it.

All three maids were virgins, with beautiful faces and gentle appearances.

Ronan summoned Hongmeng and immediately learned that the three maids were all at the early stage of Qi Refining.

“Master Naro will rest here for a few days.”

After showing Ronan around the mansion, Song Gaotian said:
"Afterwards, the Song family will send someone to deliver medicinal herbs and pill formulas for the master to refine pills."

Ronan nodded and said goodbye to Song Gaotian.

Afterwards, he toured the mansion again.

He released his divine sense to explore both the bedroom and the alchemy room.

They then discovered that their divine sense couldn't penetrate it at all, indicating that the restrictive talisman was indeed very effective.

……

The eastern section of the residence, the Song family mansion, the main hall.

Song Yangtian, the head of the Song family, was sitting on a rosewood chair, holding a teacup with blue cloud patterns in his hand, and stirring the tea leaves with the lid.

He looked to be around fifty years old.

He had a dignified appearance, with a long beard that reached his neck, and slightly graying temples.

He is a cultivator at the peak of the twelfth level of Qi Refining, and he reached this level twenty years ago.

I tried to break through the Foundation Establishment stage several times afterward, but I was unable to do so.

At this moment, sitting on the other side of the tea table was his cousin, Song Bo.

"Brother Tian, ​​I think the new alchemist is really suspicious."

Song Bo said to Song Yangtian:
"Its origins are unknown. It only arrived in the Immortal Realm of the True Realm Sect a little over a year ago."

"Furthermore, it only took a little over a year to raise his alchemy skills to such a level."

"I always felt that this person was deliberately placed in our family."

"In fact, this person may be from another immortal sect and has come here to get close to the True Realm Sect."

After listening, Song Yangtian took a sip of tea and slowly said:

"This is just speculation; perhaps this person really is alright."

"Let him refine pills for now. If there are any problems, they will come to light eventually."

Upon hearing Song Yangtian's words, Song Bo was immediately unable to continue the conversation and changed the subject.

……

After talking with Song Yangtian for a while, Song Bo left the hall, exited the Song family mansion, walked along the street for a while, and then turned into a small alley.

After walking through the alley for a while, they arrived at the door of a house. They made a hand gesture, flicked their fingers, and a yellow light drew an arc in the air and entered the house.

A short while later, the side door of the house opened.

The person who opened the door was a man who looked to be nearly sixty years old, dressed as a Taoist priest, with three long tufts of beard. "Master Ge," Song Bo greeted him and went inside.

"Fellow Daoist Song," the old Daoist, addressed as "Master Ge," returned the greeting.

Master Ge invited Song Bo into the house and seated him at the tea table. After pouring Song Bo a cup of spiritual tea, he asked, "Fellow Daoist Song, how is that matter?"

Song Bo took a sip of spiritual tea: "I told my brother that there was something fishy about the alchemist entering the family, but he didn't do anything and intends to keep him in the family."

Upon hearing this, Master Ge frowned slightly.

“Master Ge, my…” Song Bo looked at Master Ge.

"Oh, I forgot." Master Ge apologized and hurriedly took out a delicate little porcelain bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Song Bo.

Song Bo happily accepted it, uncorked the porcelain bottle, and a fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

"Thank you, Master Ge. The new alchemist's alchemy skills are certainly not as good as Master Ge's, and he is very likely a spy from another force. I will definitely mention this to my cousin."

Song Bo thanked Master Ge again and left satisfied.

After seeing Song Bo off, Master Ge closed the door, and his gaze immediately turned sinister.

His name was Ge Qian, the chief alchemist hired by the Song family.

The Foundation Establishment Pills that the Song family has been producing in recent years were also refined by him.

Although his success rate in refining Foundation Establishment Pills was less than 20%, it was still quite high among all the alchemists.

He heard that the Song family had hired a young alchemist, and that the alchemist had refined a Golden Marrow Pill of excellent quality in just over a year.

An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly welled up in his heart.

He was truly afraid that this young alchemist would grow up and reach his level of alchemy.

By then, the young alchemist would receive a lower monthly allowance of spirit stones than him, and he would be more diligent in refining pills.

Who knows, the Song family might kick him out.

Moreover, he also knows the formula for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the Song family might even kill him to prevent the formula from being leaked.

So he had to do something.

For example, they could join forces with Song Bo, exploit the unknown background of the new alchemist, and make some trouble to make the family head, Song Yangtian, wary.

However, it seems that Song Yangtian will not take any action on such unsubstantiated claims.

"Ronan... There are so many cultivation families in the mansion district, why did you have to come to the Song family!"

Ge Qian murmured, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

……

East section of the mansion, Ronan's mansion.

After resting for five days, the Song family finally came to Luo Nan's door, bringing him the prescription and medicinal herbs.

The prescription contained a type of elixir called "Xuanyuan Dan".

According to one of his maids, this pill is a top-grade first-level pill, ranking among the best in Qi Refining stage cultivation pills, and is also a commonly used cultivation pill by the Song family.

There are fifty portions of medicinal herbs in total.

The Song family, who delivered the medicinal herbs, said that Ronan could use twenty of them to practice.

Whether Ronan succeeded or failed among these ten medicinal herbs was of no concern to the Song family.

Ronan could keep the refined pills for himself.

However, the remaining thirty portions of medicinal herbs must be handled according to the Song family's rules.

If these medicinal herbs fail to be refined, the Song family will end up with dregs.

If successful, the Song family will see the elixir.

The Song family took 70% of the pills, leaving 30% for Ronan.

Some alchemists deliberately understate their success rate in refining pills, thus keeping the excess pills they produce for themselves.

That's why the Song family established this rule.
