I'm just a swineherd, not a beastmaster.

Despite the discomfort, Yuan Feng did not dare to relax at all, and forced himself to support his weak body to finish the alchemy work.

As the last straw burned out, the alchemy was declared complete.

A thick smoke rose up and Feng Shaotian came over nervously.

"Success? Or failure?"

Yuan Feng no longer had the strength to speak at this moment. As soon as he finished his work, he sat cross-legged to absorb spiritual energy to restore his strength.

After a moment, he finally recovered.

"It's done."

After getting a positive answer, Feng Shaotian could no longer hold back and excitedly opened the alchemy furnace.

The smoke dissipated, and a round foundation-building pill lay quietly in the alchemy furnace, emitting golden light from time to time, and a faint fragrance gushed out, filling the entire cell.

"This is...?" Feng Shaotian was extremely shocked. "Top-grade foundation-building pill!"

He is well-informed and it is impossible for him to make a mistake. This is the top-grade foundation-building pill.

"Top-grade foundation-building pill?" Yuan Feng was also surprised. This was the first time he successfully refined a pill, and he never expected that he would be able to refine a foundation-building pill of top-grade quality.

Feng Shaotian looked at the golden pill and swallowed his saliva: "Brother, I want to apologize for my shallowness. To be honest, when you said you could make pills, I was a little skeptical, but now this top-grade foundation-building pill has given me a slap in the face. Facts have proved that you can not only make pills, but you can also be called a master of alchemy."

"No!" Feng Shaotian shook his head vigorously. "He is a master of alchemy. Those alchemy masters supported by my father, if they want to refine top-grade elixirs, they have to burn incense, bathe, and pray devoutly. The success rate is less than 10%. And you, you can easily refine a top-grade foundation-building pill. Your level is much higher than theirs."

"Am I really that awesome?"

Yuan Feng felt a little flattered by the praise.

But when I was refining the elixir a few days ago, why didn’t I feel that I had a high talent in this area?

It seems that I am not that good... Yuan Feng still has self-knowledge and looks at the "Travels in Eight Directions" beside him.

"I feel that this top-grade foundation-building pill seems to be the result of this pill recipe."

"No." Feng Shaotian denied. "This recipe has been tried by many alchemy masters, but they are simply unable to produce a top-grade foundation-building pill. It must be that you are too good. You have kept it a secret from me. Tell me, are you from some hidden alchemy family?"

"You think too much. My parents are just country folk. To tell you the truth, this is my first time to succeed in refining an elixir. I picked up this experience in refining an elixir."

Yuan Feng was very confused now. He looked at the top-grade foundation-building pill and could faintly feel his own aura. Could it be related to this?

"So? You are a genius in alchemy?"

"Maybe."

Yuan Feng was also feeling uneasy, thinking that the main credit for this top-grade foundation-building pill lay in the recipe.

Of course, my physique may be a little special, and the combination of the two allowed me to refine this top-grade foundation-building pill.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Now that you have the foundation-building pill, you should quickly build your foundation."

"No hurry, let me prepare first. Although building the foundation is easy for me, it is not like eating a meal. I can't start it as soon as I say so."

Under Yuan Feng's gaze, Feng Shaotian first performed a set of kung fu with strange postures, and then sat down cross-legged.

"What I just saw is a set of kung fu for relaxing muscles and activating blood circulation passed down by my Feng family ancestors. It is called Wantong Gong, and it can increase the success rate of foundation building. If you want to learn it, I can teach you." Feng Shaotian closed his eyes and explained considerately.

"Is it not good for an outsider like me to learn the kung fu passed down from your ancestors?"

"We are friends. You helped me refine the foundation-building pill, which gave me a chance to leave this prison. This is a huge favor. It's just a little skill. I will teach you the moves after I finish building my foundation."

"Then I won't be polite."

Yuan Feng remembered most of the movements just now. If Feng Shaotian was willing to teach him, that would be great.

Soon, spiritual energy flowed around Feng Shaotian's body and he was completely in the state.

Yuan Feng stood guard by the side, always paying attention to the movements outside.

I have to say that Hu Jiuer is really capable. She lured the jailer away. Now there is no one outside. No matter how much noise there is in the cell, they will not be discovered.

"Crack!"

The thunder roared, startling Yuan Feng who was watching on the side.

Feng Shaotian, on the other hand, remained unmoved. He allowed a thundercloud as big as a blanket to rise three feet above his head. Lightning struck him, and white smoke from burning rose from his body.

"Is this the legendary thunder tribulation?"

Yuan Feng secretly marveled at it, not knowing whether it hurt or not, and whether he could endure it when he passed this level next time.

Nine lightning strikes occurred in succession before the thunderclouds dispersed.

A golden light flashed across Feng Shaotian's body, and his entire temperament changed.

It becomes... an inexplicable heaviness, a perceptible power.

"I succeeded!" Feng Shaotian jumped up from the ground, his body became much lighter, "Thanks to your brother, you refined the best foundation-building pill, which made my Nine Revolutions Heavenly Dao foundation-building possible!"

"Heavenly Way Foundation Building? Is there any explanation for this foundation building?" Yuan Feng asked sincerely.

The master passed away in a hurry and did not teach him this knowledge.

"Don't you know this? Isn't this common sense for cultivators? The foundation building is divided into the heavenly way, the earthly way, and the worst human way. Seven to nine thunderbolts above the head are called the heavenly way, four to six thunderbolts are called the earthly way, and anything less is the human way."

"No thunder?"

"No thunder? Is there any need to ask? No thunder means that you haven't even entered the threshold of foundation building."

"What's the point of dividing these heavens, earth and people?"

"It's very useful. For someone like me who has built a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, my future cultivation speed will be several times faster than that of the Earthly Dao and the Human Dao. The success rate of condensing the golden elixir will also be higher. In a word, if you have built a foundation in the Heavenly Dao, your future cultivation will be smooth."

After hearing this, Yuan Feng was quite yearning and only hoped that he could also build a foundation in the Heavenly Dao in the future.

No, now is not the time to worry about that.

"You have established your foundation now, get out quickly."

"Yes, wait, I'll call the jailer over." Feng Shaotian shouted to the outside, "The jailer outside, come in and tell me something!"

"What, what are you doing?!"

The fat jailer ran into the prison angrily.

"You're not sleeping at night. You must be itchy, right?"

He was discussing with the beauty where to go to warm himself by the fire when he was called over. He was immediately filled with anger.

"Prison boss, don't be angry. We have something important to discuss." With freedom right in front of him, Feng Shaotian became much more tactful.

"Tell me, if you dare to leave me, I will beat you up."

"I dare not, jailer, you see I have already established my foundation, according to the rules, should you let me out?"

"Have you established your foundation? Let me see?" The fat jailer knocked on the railing, signaling to start.

"Look, jailer."

Feng Shaotian displayed his cultivation and his spiritual power was revealed. Any cultivator could see that he had indeed reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"That's true, but you're wishful thinking if you want to go out."

"No? Aren't you guys following the rules? That's the law of the dynasty. For cultivators above the foundation building stage, the punishment can be reduced or exempted according to their realm."

"There are rules, but you are special. You killed someone in public, so you should be sentenced to death. Even if the death penalty is commuted, you still have to go to jail. Don't you know that?"

"Is this true?" Yuan Feng turned and looked at Feng Shaotian.

"It seems to be the case." Feng Shaotian frowned and nodded.

"Ok?"

Yuan Feng felt that he had been fooled. He chose to help Feng Shaotian because he thought Feng Shaotian could get out and possibly make some money for himself after that.

If I tell him now that Feng Shaotian can't get out, then all my hard work in refining the elixir will be in vain.

I have wasted all my yang energy, and it is really a loss to my grandmother.

"Behave yourself, everyone. If I didn't have something important to do, I would have beaten you up for wasting my time."

After uttering these harsh words, the fat jailer stormed out of the prison.

"Hehe..." Feng Shaotian smiled awkwardly at Yuan Feng, "I haven't studied the rules carefully, so you can't blame me if something goes wrong. But don't worry, give me some time, I will definitely find a way out. When the time comes, I will ask my father to give you an official position, so that you can live a prosperous life."

"Forget it, I'll just wait for tomorrow's trial. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed first."

Yuan Feng was really tired, so he just lay down on the spot.

"Are you angry with me? Do you think I lied to you? I swear on the reputation of my Feng family..."

"Okay, I'm not angry, I'm just really tired. If you feel embarrassed, just perform the Wan Tong Gong that you promised me just now. I'll remember it for future use."

"You just study while lying down?"

"Can't I learn while lying down?" Yuan Feng felt empty after refining the pill. He didn't have the strength to continue standing.

"It's not impossible. Just lie down and remember my movements. You should also remember the blood circulation associated with each movement. The latter is the essence of this set of kung fu..."
