56: The Golden Elixir Formula!

Lu Qianqian saw Lu An'an blushing and smiled.

"This is nothing. If you don't help me, I can be even more excessive later."

Lu An'an looked helpless and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Xiao Qian, send a message to Father and have him keep an eye on the Huangfu Family. If Young Master Feng really takes action against the Huangfu Family, I fear they won't let the matter rest."

"Tell Father to watch them closely. I'm afraid the Huangfu Family might send people to assassinate him."

Lu Qianqian nodded, "Rest assured, Father has long wanted to take down the Huangfu Family. He has been keeping people on them, just waiting for them to show their flaws."

Hearing this, Lu An'an felt a bit more at ease.

After Feng Ming left Lu Pingan's shop, he did not return home directly but instead went to Linglong Pavilion.

In the entire Liumian Prefecture, Linglong Pavilion had the largest business.

Aside from Medicinal Pills and medicinal herbs, they also regularly held auctions.

Everything from various treasures and weapons to beast cores could be auctioned as long as they were tradeable on the market.

At this moment, Feng Ming was sitting opposite Shopkeeper Liu.

Shopkeeper Liu looked exhausted.

Ever since the medicinal herbs arrived, followed by the Medicinal Pills, the daily sales volume had been several times higher than usual.

It had worn them all out.

"Second Young Master, it is so late. Do you have some business for coming to see me?"

"I just wanted to ask if the Auction House has any high-Rank Pill Formulae or medicinal herbs recently?"

After receiving the reward, Feng Ming had an idea in mind: he wanted to start with Medicinal Pills to ease his relationship with his elder brother.

Although they were biological brothers, it was not good to always have an estrangement.

Furthermore, his own wife was constantly being targeted, which made him feel unhappy.

Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment, "Second Young Master, you have come at the right time. We recently acquired a fourth grade gold core pill formula and the corresponding medicinal herbs."

"It is not that we do not have others, but they are incomplete—either missing herbs or missing the Pill Formula."

"Liumian Prefecture is a small place after all. The strongest Cultivators here are only at the Foundation Establishment Stage. A Golden Core is rare here, so it is normal for resources to be scarce."

"What we have currently is only thanks to the advantages of our own trade caravan and Auction House."

Feng Ming nodded upon hearing this.

"Give me the Pill Formula and the medicinal herbs."

gold core pill: This is a type of Medicinal Pill specifically used to increase the probability of forming a Golden Core.

After taking a gold core pill, one can significantly increase the success rate of advancing to the Golden Core Stage.

To put it simply, without taking a gold core pill, the probability of directly advancing to the Golden Core Stage might only be thirty percent. But after taking it, the possibility increases by at least thirty percent.

In other words, this Medicinal Pill is a must-buy for Cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Regardless of the size of the city, any Family with some means is willing to purchase it for their juniors.

The price is naturally not cheap.

Of course, truly wealthy families would not buy fourth grade Medicinal Pills; their requirements would be higher, choosing sixth-grade or ninth-grade Medicinal Pills with the same function.

Feng Mian had good talent, and their uncle had never bought them Medicinal Pills. But he had now reached the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

Giving him a gold core pill should be exactly what he needed.

Fearing that Jiang Shuwan might be waiting anxiously at home, Feng Ming took the Pill Formula and medicinal herbs and left Linglong Pavilion.

When he returned, Jiang Shuwan had already fallen asleep.

Feng Ming did not disturb her and went straight to the Alchemy room.

Jiang Shuwan liked Alchemy, so Feng Ming had specifically prepared a room for her within Qingfeng Courtyard.

It was coming in handy now.

Inside the Alchemy room.

Feng Ming set out the Pill Formula and medicinal herbs, then checked the advanced version of the heaven grade Medicinal Pill encyclopedia in his mind.

He quickly found the refining process for the gold core pill.

After reviewing the reminders and precautions for the entire refining process, Feng Ming began to refine it.

Fourth grade gold core pill, depending on the refining technique, can be divided into three levels: two-stripe gold core pill, one-stripe gold core pill, and pure white golden core formation pill.

These three levels represent the medicinal efficacy and effect of the pill respectively.

The two-stripe pill has the worst efficacy and effect, selling for about 3,000 Spirit Stones on the market.

The one-stripe pill can sell for about 5,000 Spirit Stones.

As for the pure white golden core formation pill, it is rarely seen on the market.

On one hand, the price is high; the Auction House can sell it for 10,000 Spirit Stones. On the other hand, refining a pure white golden core formation pill has high requirements for the Alchemist; one needs to reach the Rank of a Sixth-Grade Alchemist.

In other words, to obtain a pure white golden core formation pill, one must have both money and connections in the Family. Otherwise, one can only choose the two-stripe and one-stripe gold core pills on the market.

Feng Ming quickly added the medicinal herbs to the Pill Furnace one by one. He strictly followed the records and cautiously operated every step.

Soon, the fragrance of the Medicinal Pill drifted through the room.

At this moment, Feng Ming also felt an abnormality in his body.

To be precise, it was the same as the previous few times; a burst of Qi appeared in his body. And this power was the power of the Medicinal Pill.

As the time spent Cultivating increased, the several bursts of Qi in Feng Ming's body gradually showed signs of liquefaction.

But it would take a long time to condense into a core.

This burst of Qi was very weak, not very strong, but this had already shocked Feng Ming.

"The Chaos Body is truly impressive. On my second time refining, I have already grasped the Dao of Alchemy."

"If other Alchemists knew about this, they would probably be angered to death."

Although Feng Ming was currently mainly focusing on the Dao of the sword, who would mind having more Daos they were proficient in?

Moreover, with the heaven grade Medicinal Pill encyclopedia in hand, the number of times he practiced Alchemy would definitely increase gradually in the future.

And the path of the Dao of Alchemy itself did not require doing anything special; just refining pills would suffice. It was practically the same as getting something for free. Who would refuse such a good thing?

As Feng Ming was thinking, a humming sound came from the Pill Furnace. The pill was formed!

Feng Ming opened the Pill Furnace and saw a round, pure white Medicinal Pill lying inside.

That pill was completely white, smooth as jade.

With just one glance, Feng Ming confirmed that this was a pure white golden core formation pill.

It was just a pity that this Pill Formula was not the perfect one from the System; otherwise, he would have refined at least five to ten pills in one batch.

Indeed, one cannot compare; once compared, how good the System-rewarded Pill Formula was became self-evident.

"Keep up the good work; I hope to obtain some high-Rank Pill Formulae in the future."

Feng Ming put away the Medicinal Pill before returning to his room to rest.

Early the next morning.

Jiang Shuwan, who was fast asleep, felt something pressing against her.

She slowly opened her eyes and saw Feng Ming holding her, and her face turned red instantly.

She wanted to get up quietly.

Feng Ming pulled her back.

"It is still early. Why are you getting up so early?"

"I... it is not early anymore. I will get up and tidy up first; you sleep a little longer."

Last night, she was originally waiting for Feng Ming, but she fell asleep later because she was too tired.

Feng Ming held her firmly in his arms.

"That will not do. You haven't handed in yesterday's homework yet. I am so diligent; I must make up for it today."

As he spoke, he had already turned over and switched positions with Jiang Shuwan.

Before Jiang Shuwan could react, Feng Ming had already started to demonstrate his basic skills.

After a set of combo moves, Jiang Shuwan could not say a word of resistance.

By the time the two got up, it was already past nine o'clock.
