Reserve a foundation-building pill for yourself?

Cao Rui's heart moved slightly.

There are many geniuses in the entire sect, but people like Feng Qingyun and Zhang Mo do not have this kind of treatment reserved for them.

The fact that the Spirit Beast Sect was able to reserve a Foundation Establishment Pill that had not yet been refined for Cao Rui was enough to show how much importance they attached to Cao Rui.

For Cao Rui himself.

Cao Rui naturally hoped to be able to refine new elixirs, and then advance to the twelfth level of Qi Refining through Mingyu Gong, and then advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.

In ancient times, spiritual energy was abundant, so there was naturally no need for foundation-building pills and one could directly build the foundation at the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is now exhausted. Cao Rui is worried that even if he practices the ancient skills to the twelfth level of Qi Refining, he will still need external help to build the foundation.

Moreover, if there is any accident in the development of the new elixir, Cao Rui can also try to build the foundation through the foundation-building pill.

Cao Rui did not refuse the foundation-building pill promised by Sect Master Lu Jiuxiao and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Sect Master and all the elders."

"Sect Master, which alchemist should we ask to refine this foundation-building pill?"

Cao Rui was quite curious about which alchemist in the southwestern immortal cultivation world could refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, one of the most difficult second-level elixirs.

Moreover, the pill production rate is too exaggerated.

After deducting the consumption rate and the alchemist's commission from the three sets of materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill, only three pills can be guaranteed.

No, three is just an estimate based on past experience and it cannot be guaranteed.

If all three parts fail to be refined, wouldn't it be a waste of time?

Lu Jiuxiao smiled faintly and said, "The cultivation world in the southwest of Yunzhou has declined too much now. There are no alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills."

"This time, we are going to the Changchun Sect in the central part of Yunzhou to ask their sect's top alchemist to refine the foundation-building pill."

"The Changchun Sect is now extremely powerful. It is known for its alchemy heritage. Like the Lingjian Sect, it is one of the top three sects in Yunzhou."

Upon hearing this, Cao Rui thought to himself: I don’t know how much I can earn just by refining this foundation-building pill, let alone the other pills.

Nowadays, if you make more money, your strength will naturally increase.

"The materials for the foundation-building pill will be delivered by two sect elders after Elder Feng's funeral."

"We will probably have news within a month."

"No matter how many Foundation Establishment Pills are produced, as long as there are some, I will definitely guarantee you one."

"If there are more, we can support a few more true disciples."

"Especially after the sect war, it's time for a few new foundation-building masters to appear in the sect." Lu Jiuxiao said.

Cao Rui nodded in agreement.

"By the way, I heard that you were researching some new pill recipe in the market town?" Lu Jiuxiao asked.

Cao Rui nodded: "Yes, if the new pill formula is successfully developed, I plan to donate the pill formula to the sect."

Lu Jiuxiao smiled and shook his head: "That's not what I meant. You develop the new pill formula yourself, and it's entirely up to you whether to hand it over to the sect or not."

"Even if you really hand it over to the sect, the sect will definitely reward you with corresponding contribution points."

"What I mean is that the development of ancient pill recipes is quite difficult. Your top priority is to focus on improving your cultivation and prolonging your life. Don't get involved in these time-consuming and laborious alchemy research too early."

"I understand. Thank you for the reminder, Sect Master." Cao Rui scratched his head and thanked him. He had indeed misunderstood.

In the opinion of the sect leader, although Cao Rui has an outstanding talent in alchemy, the difficulty of developing a new alchemy formula from the ancient one is still too great, and it is impossible for Cao Rui to complete it in a short time.

He was afraid that developing a new elixir formula would affect Cao Rui's practice, so he made this persuasion.

"By the way, I promised you another reward for taking Qinglingfang City."

"I saw your report. Qingling Market can earn about 20,000 spirit stones every year?"

"Well, I have decided to give you half of the profits from the market. As long as you stay in the sect for one day, you can receive this profit for as long as you live. But you cannot pass it on to the next generation!"

Cao Rui frowned slightly when he heard this: "The reward from the Sect Master is a bit too expensive. What will the other elders think?"

Even though the dividend is only 10,000 spirit stones a year, the income is endless. Cao Rui's life span is at least hundreds of years, which will be millions of spirit stones by then.

Moreover, if Qinglingfang City becomes more prosperous, the revenue will surely increase.

Lu Jiuxiao said, "One good thing about our Spirit Beast Sect is that the Sect Master has absolute power!"

"There is no such thing as a supreme elder or any other messy position."

"Haha, just take this profit without worrying about it. No one will dare to say anything about it."

Seeing Lu Jiuxiao's firm attitude, Cao Rui had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Lu Jiuxiao said, "Okay, that's all for now."

"You can leave now."

Cao Rui stood up, bowed slightly, turned around and flew away from the training pagoda on his sword.

Cao Rui returned to his own training room in the Alchemy Institute and rested for a night.

The next morning, the sun shone on the gate of the Spirit Beast Sect, reflecting a tranquil and solemn atmosphere.

The farewell bell rang early, melodious and solemn, echoing throughout the sect.

The sound of the bell seems to be expressing the sadness of parting and respect for the deceased.

Cao Rui also got up early and rushed to the main peak.

In the main peak square, Elder Feng Yunfan’s coffin was placed in the middle.

Guarding the coffin were two of his true disciples, one male and one female, both of whom were 101st generation disciples of the same generation as Cao Rui.

There were dozens of thousand-feather cranes sent by the Spirit Beast Academy to see them off.

Dozens of cranes spread their snow-white wings, lined up in an orderly manner, and gently lifted up Elder Feng's coffin.

These thousands of cranes have agile postures and feathers as soft as silk. They spread their wings and fly high, carrying a solemn and dignified atmosphere, starting from the main peak and flying towards the Mausoleum Peak.

Most of the disciples who possessed the ability to fly joined the farewell procession. They either piloted their own spiritual weapons or rode their own thousand-feather cranes, following closely behind the thousand coffins.

The disciples recalled the previous sect war and their fellow disciples who had died in the battle. Driven by the atmosphere, they all looked heavy-hearted.

Cao Rui stepped on the black feather and stood at the front of the farewell team. Beside him were the sect leader Lu Jiuxiao, the head of the Spirit Beast Academy, the head of the Weapon Refining Academy...

His black-feathered bird was huge in size, with feathers as black as ink, which made him look even more dignified and solemn in this scene.

There are several disciples from the Alchemy Academy on Hei Yu's back, including Jin Mu, Sun Haoran...

The distance from the main peak to the mausoleum peak was not far, but the farewell team was flying slowly in the air. This was how they saw off Elder Feng.

This short journey allowed everyone in the sect to feel the deep grief.

Finally, the coffin arrived at Mausoleum Peak.

When the coffin was lowered, hundreds of cranes cried out in clear and melodious sounds at the same time.

The cry was like the sound of nature, resounding through the sky, as if announcing to heaven and earth the departure of Elder Feng.

The disciples of the Spirit Beast Sect shouted in unison: "Farewell, Elder Feng!" The shouts shook everyone's hearts...

After three shouts, the scene fell into silence. Only the newly erected tombstone stood quietly on the peak of the mausoleum, witnessing the departure of this foundation-building elder.

At this point, this Foundation Establishment Elder completely left this world.

It was also the first time that Cao Rui saw a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator die while in the Spirit Beast Sect.
