265: Father-in-law visits

Overall, the Pill Refining of this Foundation Establishment Pill was actually a failure.

The three parties were not very satisfied, especially Xu Tian. She obtained a lower-grade Foundation Establishment Pill but chose not to keep it. Instead, she requested Sun Alchemist to exchange it for other Foundation Establishment Materials, essentially recycling it.

Sun Alchemist did not refuse.

Afterward, Zhou Luo originally wanted to chat with this Sun Alchemist.

However, this Pill Refining seemed to have dealt a heavy blow to Sun Alchemist, so he didn't want to poke at his sore spot.

Leaving the Core Area, Geng Feng said with an apologetic look, "Daoist friend Xu, I'm very sorry."

Zhou Luo's body stiffened upon hearing this.

He thought, *Brother, you are an Upper-Grade Alchemist, and your Master is even a Second-Order Alchemist. Can't you have some pride?*

*Why are you apologizing to someone?*

"Geng Alchemist, do you have Foundation Establishment Materials?" Xu Tian suddenly looked at him and asked.

Although Geng Feng is an Upper-Grade Alchemist, his strength is not far from Foundation Establishment. Most likely, he has also prepared the Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Although she exchanged some Materials this time, Xu Tian also suffered significant losses, so she set her sights on him.

Geng Feng's expression froze, and he said somewhat awkwardly, "Daoist friend Xu, I do have some here."

"Then can you sell them to me?" Xu Tian took a step forward, saying somewhat eagerly.

She had been in the Half-Step Foundation Establishment stage for many years, and now she was just waiting for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

The faint fragrance wafting towards him made Geng Feng's heart ripple. He said dazedly, "Daoist friend Xu, this..."

"As long as you are willing to sell me the Foundation Establishment Pill, I can give you anything," Xu Tian said, blinking her beautiful eyes.

She naturally knew that Geng Feng coveted her. For the sake of these Foundation Establishment Pill Materials, she didn't mind making a sacrifice.

What's more, she was from the Joyful Union Sect. It was still uncertain who would be making the sacrifice in the end.

Zhou Luo, standing nearby and watching these two who weren't avoiding anyone, felt bewildered.

*Are people this bold now?*

"Daoist friend Xu, let's talk about it when we get back, when we get back," Geng Feng said, feeling embarrassed.

How could he withstand Xu Tian's bold actions.

...

Returning to the inner courtyard, Xu Tian followed Geng Feng to his large residence.

As for whether the two of them engaged in the so-called "transaction," Zhou Luo did not know.

He only knew that although observing the Pill Refining this time taught him a lot, he also realized that to refine a good Foundation Establishment Pill, one must have sufficient strength.

However, if there is no guidance, achieving success in Second-Order Pill Refining Technique is truly not easy.

Even with his long lifespan, he felt uncertain.

*Does he really have to rely on crowdfunding for Pill Refining?*

But as soon as he thought of Sun Alchemist's pitiful Pill formation result, he instinctively wanted to refuse.

Unless absolutely necessary, he could not put his fate in someone else's hands.

Zhou Luo looked at his three women.

*He still had to rely on the System.*

That night, he and Lin Xi fought intensely again.

Unfortunately, the Li Family's dream blue flower did not sell much and was relatively scarce on the market, so this time it did not result in instant conception.

The next day, unexpectedly, the woman Xu Tian actually came knocking.

And her purpose was very simple: to purchase Foundation Establishment Materials.

"Zhou Alchemist, I heard you are also preparing Materials for an Elder. Why not sell them to this little one first? If I successfully establish Foundation in the future, I will definitely help you."

Xu Tian leaned against the handrail, unashamedly displaying her alluring features before him.

Zhou Luo's heart was like still water.

*A woman's mouth, a deceiving ghost.*

"Daoist friend Xu, I also want to help you, but I really can't. I have already sent those Materials back to the Zhou Family," Zhou Luo lied.

Xu Tian, however, did not give up: "Zhou Alchemist, as long as you help me, I can exchange things with you."

"I am truly powerless," Zhou Luo showed a very tough stance.

In the end, a helpless Xu Tian had to leave.

Looking at the woman's retreating figure, Zhou Luo shook his head.

*It seems he has to avoid this woman for a while.*

...

Another half a Nian passed, and Li Ying and Du Linghui gave birth to two daughters respectively.

[Congratulations to the host on the birth of the thirty-eighth offspring, gaining fifty Nian of Time addition!]

[Because this offspring possesses a Six-Rank Spiritual Root, the host gains fifteen points of Aptitude!]

[Current Aptitude: Eight-Rank Spiritual Root (234/500)]

...

[Congratulations to the host on the birth of the thirty-ninth offspring, gaining fifty Nian of Time addition!]

[Because this offspring possesses a Six-Rank Spiritual Root, the host gains fifteen points of Aptitude!]

[Current Aptitude: Eight-Rank Spiritual Root (249/500)]

...

Both children's Ling Gen (Spiritual Root) were Six-Rank, and he gained another one hundred Nian of Time.

During this Nian, Zhou Luo spent a large amount of Spirit Stone again, buying three concubines.

There was no other way. Ever since he saw the Pill Refining process of the Foundation Establishment Pill last time, he felt that the System was more reliable.

So he wanted to see if he could draw Second-Order Pill Refining Technique by increasing the number of draws.

On this day, Zhou Luo received a letter from Li Zehou.

The other party stated that he would come to the Immortal City in a month to participate in a large auction and would also visit him.

The reason he knew Zhou Luo was in the Immortal City was because Zhou Luo had once inquired about purchasing dream blue flower from the Li Family.

This time, he came first to deliver the dream blue flower, and second, to see his daughter.

Of course, these were just pretexts. As the eldest legitimate Son-in-law of a Family Head, for him to personally come here, he must have some motive.

Zhou Luo did not refuse.

He just took the opportunity to send Li Ying back to the Lin Family.

She had seen his strength. Who knew if there was any special way for her and Li Zehou to contact each other.

To be safe, it was better to send her home first.

What interested Zhou Luo even more was this large auction.

At the large auction held every five Nian, the Azure Origin Sect would sell one to two Foundation Establishment Pills.

Countless Immortals who were stuck at the Peak of Qi Training Layer Nine were all sharpening their blades, just waiting to be able to buy one.

Zhou Luo was not very interested.

The risk of the Foundation Establishment Pill at the auction was too great.

What he valued were several supplementary herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Currently, he had collected eight supplementary herbs over these Nian, and there were still ten supplementary herbs left.

As for news of the main ingredient, jade marrow mushroom, there was still none.

The only time there was news was when he could participate in crowdfunding Pill Refining with a Foundation Establishment Expert, but he didn't want to take the risk.

At the large auction, many supplementary herbs for the Foundation Establishment Pill would be auctioned each time, so he might be able to buy several kinds.
