Zhou Sen was confident that with this formula in hand, he would be able to thoroughly understand it and refine the finished Breakthrough Pill.

But for three consecutive days, he was also worried about when he would succeed.

The Zhou family has already spent lavishly on this pill formula. If another three to five months pass, how many spiritual herbs will be left to refine this pill?

Even if it were possible, the success rate would be pitifully low.

He stroked his beard, lost in thought, his eyes flickering uncertainly.

A moment later.

"Yiming, go and invite Fellow Daoist Sanshu over."

"Yes, elder."

Zhou Yiming cupped his hands in greeting and then left.

Soon after, he brought Xu Chuan to the Class A alchemy room.

Zhou Sen smiled and clasped his hands in greeting, saying, "Fellow Daoist San Shu."

"What business does Elder Zhou have with me? Is it perhaps to pay us and let us leave?"

"Fellow Daoist helped my Zhou family complete the pill formula, which is a great service. If you have any requests, please speak frankly. As long as it is within the Zhou family's capabilities, we will fulfill them one by one."

Xu Chuan cupped his hands in greeting, "It's not easy being a rogue cultivator. Before coming to Yuehu County, I got into a fight with someone, and Fellow Daoist Yunming and I lost our storage bags."

"This is a trivial matter," Zhou Sen said indifferently.

"Furthermore, does your esteemed residence possess any texts on array formations? I once owed Fellow Daoist Yunming a favor, promising to repay it by finding the relevant texts in the future."

“Fellow Daoist San Shu is a man of great loyalty and righteousness. My Zhou family will certainly do our utmost to help you in this matter.”

"One last thing, Fellow Daoist Yunming and I wish to linger in the Immortal Cultivation Market of Yuehu County for a while. I wonder if you could give us fifty spirit stones as a gift? Also, please tell us the location of this market."

Cultivation Marketplace?

Zhou Sen pondered for a moment, then stroked his beard and smiled, "This matter is not difficult. My Zhou family also has properties in Yuehu Market. Once this matter is settled, I will send someone to escort you two fellow Daoists there."

"Thank you," Xu Chuan said, clasping his hands in thanks.

"Yiming, go and fetch all the items that Fellow Daoist Sanshu needs."

"Yes, elder."

After Zhou Yiming left, only Xu Chuan and Zhou Sen remained in the Class A alchemy room.

“By the way, Fellow Daoist San Shu,” Zhou Sen stroked his long beard, his gaze slightly narrowed, and his tone suddenly turned earnest, “I still have a few doubts about the pill refining recorded in the pill formulas. I would like to ask you for some guidance. I wonder if you would be so kind as to give me some pointers?”

"I wouldn't presume to offer guidance; we're simply exchanging ideas and learning from each other."

Xu Chuan dared not show the slightest arrogance.

Zhou Sen had granted him every request before, which was a prelude to this matter. Therefore, he naturally could not be greedy and knew that going too far would be disastrous.

The reward mentioned earlier is enough for him and Xu Mingxian to establish themselves in the Immortal Cultivation Market.

Moreover, as a Foundation Establishment family, the Zhou family must have a strong foothold in Yuehu Market. If we want to establish ourselves, we will probably have to rely on their influence.

then.

Xu Chuan began to explain to Zhou Sen in detail his previous experience in alchemy and the problems he encountered.

He even prepared it on the spot for them to observe.

This move also won Zhou Sen's favor.

"It's truly ingenious. It uses lesser yin to transform into greater yang, lesser yang to weaken greater yin, and uses purple primordial fruit and other herbs to neutralize it, while also supplementing it with other spiritual medicines that stabilize vital energy to stimulate the medicinal properties."

"The order of mixing the medicinal liquids must be meticulous, and with a strong divine sense, one can focus on controlling the purified medicinal liquids to prevent them from being mixed prematurely."

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!" Zhou Sen clapped his hands and praised three times.

Suddenly, he clapped his hands and sighed, his eyes gleaming as he looked at Xu Chuan's face, his white beard trembling slightly with his breath: "Fellow Daoist's comprehension of alchemy truly makes this old man ashamed of his own inferiority!"

"Don't dare take it!"

Seeing Xu Chuan's skill in alchemy, Zhou Sen had the idea of ​​recruiting him for the Zhou family.

With a Foundation Establishment cultivator in charge, the Zhou family can certainly focus on development for decades to come, as elixirs are an indispensable resource for cultivation.

However, training alchemists is extremely difficult.

However, Zhou Sen did not make the suggestion rashly; he began to refine pills according to Xu Chuan's method.

Failed the first time.

The second time failed.

But he succeeded on his third attempt and even managed to refine a low-grade breakthrough pill.

If this one were taken to the market, it could probably be exchanged for more than a dozen sets of alchemy materials.

Of course, the Zhou family didn't refine this pill to sell, but to increase the number of late-stage Qi Refining cultivators in the family.

After all, some cultivators are stuck at the fifth or sixth level due to their aptitude.

With this elixir, the Zhou family's overall strength will increase in a short period of time. Soon...

Zhou Sen handed over all the items Xu Chuan had asked for and asked Zhou Yiming to escort him back to his courtyard.

He then went to see the head of the Zhou family.

"Third Uncle, is the Taoist San Shu's alchemy really that remarkable?"

When the Zhou family patriarch saw Zhou Sen's high praise, a look of surprise appeared in his eyes. This was the first time he had ever seen his third uncle praise someone so highly.

Zhou Sen was obsessed with alchemy and had a great talent for it.

He has made great contributions to the Zhou family's current scale over the past few decades.

But because of this, he had an eccentric personality, and even his own clansmen would often scold him in just a few words.

Perhaps this is the mutual appreciation between geniuses in alchemy.

"Since Third Uncle has made his decision, the matter of recruiting him will be left to you to decide."

"Thank you, Master."

The next day.

Xu Chuan and the others then decided to leave the Zhou family.

When they were about to leave, Zhou Sen and Zhou Yiming personally escorted them to Yuehu Market.

"My Zhou family also has a pill shop in Yuehu Market, where I often sit and refine pills."

"That's it."

Zhou Sen nodded and said, "Yuehu Market is located in a secluded valley surrounded by mountains on three sides, two hundred miles east of Yuehu County City."

"The valley is surrounded by mountains and forests, shrouded in formations and shrouded in mist. Even a grandmaster would not be able to break in unless they are cultivators."

Upon hearing this, Xu Chuan sighed: "Martial artists above the Innate Realm, even if their combat strength is no less than that of us Qi Refining cultivators, and even if they are better than us in terms of fighting ability within twenty or thirty steps, they are still just ordinary martial artists."

We cultivators possess techniques, formations, and alchemy; we are worlds apart from those who truly understand the Dao.

“Exactly,” Zhou Sen stroked his beard and laughed, “Otherwise, how could the status of the Great Wei Immortal Officials and the Martial Arts Schools be so disparate?”

A few hours later.

As the group entered the mountains and forests, they walked slowly forward. Suddenly, white mist rose from all around, like gauze shrouding the trees and cotton wool swirling around the path.

"Even the simplest fog formation is not something that ordinary martial artists can see through."

The four of them had magical powers flowing through their eyes, and soon they saw the mountain path leading into the valley.

Not long after.

Emerging from the fog, the view ahead suddenly opened up.

Surrounded by mountains on three sides, with towering and vigorous peaks, a stone tablet stands before the secluded valley, inscribed with the four characters "Yuehu Fangshi".

"Although this place is not large, it is complete in every way, with alchemy shops, weapon-refining shops, and spirit herb shops, etc."

"There is also a small market every three years, at which time all the Qi Refining families in Yuehu County bring out their treasures to trade, and all the independent cultivators from all directions gather here. Hundreds of years old spiritual herbs are not uncommon, and there are also high-grade magic artifacts for trade."

Zhou Sen looked at Xu Chuan and Xu Mingxian and said, "Fellow Daoists, traveling around the Great Wei must be quite commonplace for you."

Xu Chuan and Xu Mingxian both smiled without saying a word.

"Let's go."

Led by Zhou Sen, the group arrived at Zhou's Pill Shop.

Elder Zhou!

Upon seeing Zhou Sen, the Zhou family members all bowed and paid their respects.

Zhou Sen nodded slightly and said to Xu Chuan, "Fellow Daoist San Shu, there are also vacant guest rooms behind the alchemy shop. You two can stay for a while."

"Then we'll have to trouble you." The two bowed respectfully.

That night.

"Father, why is the Zhou family so hospitable? Are they trying to recruit you?"

Although the room had simple restrictions, they still communicated telepathically just in case.

“It wasn’t just me. I asked for array manuals for you. They probably thought you were skilled in arrays and wanted to recruit you.”

"However, I agree, so you don't need to get involved. Focus on cultivating and researching array formations. With your talent, it won't be long before you make some achievements in array formations."

"Given the current needs of my Xu family, you should first study the Qi and Spirit Gathering Array."

Although Xu Chuan did not say it explicitly, Xu Mingxian knew that the Spirit Gathering Array was set up for the medicinal field and also for the future cultivation of the family's descendants.

Xu Mingxian pondered for a moment, then asked again, "Father, do you really believe that I have a talent for array formations?"

　It will be released after midnight Sunday. I hope my fellow Daoists will support it. I will be very grateful!
