87: Chapter 87 Foundation Building Pill

The Spirit Spring Eye can absorb Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to produce Spirit Spring water. The Spirit Spring water irrigates spirit plant to accelerate their growth, and blooming spirit plant will emit Spiritual Qi.

The three form a cycle, locked within a specific space, which can cause the concentration of Spiritual Qi to increase day by day.

Su Yang set up a Formation in the inner courtyard to prevent the Spiritual Qi from overflowing.

He also planted precious spirit plant in the inner courtyard, and coupled with the dense Spiritual Qi emitted by the heavenly spirit fruit tree, the Spiritual Qi concentration in the inner courtyard is now several times that of the outside world.

Even the Jiang Family, which has Foundation Establishment Cultivators, does not have cultivation conditions as good as the Su Family.

At this moment, inside the Pill Refining Room.

Su Yang skillfully controlled the heat of the Pill Furnace, tossed the most crucial heavenly spirit fruit into the furnace, and struck out Daoist Magic hand seals with both hands.

The flames burned and flickered, the Spirit Medicines liquefied, and slowly condensed into pills.

Su Yang’s heart trembled just like the Pill Furnace. He kept his face taut, staring intently at the pill taking shape.

An unprecedented medicinal fragrance wafted out, but it was also mixed with a burnt smell.

Su Yang broke out in a sweat, and the spiritual power within his body rapidly evaporated.

When the time was up, he immediately extinguished the fire and opened the furnace, taking out the ten formed pills inside.

Nine of them were pitch black, and one was brownish.

Su Yang’s hand trembled slightly. He picked up the brownish pill and laughed out loud excitedly.

“Low Grade foundation establishment pill, made it!”

After years of painstaking research, he finally deduced the foundation establishment pill recipe and successfully refined the finished product.

Although only one pill was successfully formed, and it was Low Grade.

The most difficult step had been completed. What remained was to improve proficiency, and Su Yang would soon be able to refine High Grade foundation establishment pills.

Now the Su Family not only has the foundation establishment pill but also the environmental conditions suitable for breaking through to Foundation Establishment. Once someone reaches Qi Refining Perfection, they can immediately attempt Foundation Establishment on the spot, then Cultivate the Dao Origin Hunyuan Scripture to build the strongest Dao foundation!

“After the matter of Yunmeng Ruins is resolved, I will enter secluded cultivation to focus on cultivating. I will reach Qi Refining Perfection and achieve Foundation Establishment within ten years!”

Cultivators’ Qi and Blood decline after the age of sixty, and the probability of Foundation Establishment drops sharply.

Su Yang was already fifty years old this year, leaving him only ten years.

Although he possessed the Fate of Vigorous Qi and Blood, which would postpone the age of Qi and Blood decline slightly.

He still hoped to achieve Foundation Establishment before the age of sixty. After all, the Fate of Vigorous Qi and Blood could only postpone the years by an indeterminate amount, so it was better to be safe.

Su Yang put away the foundation establishment pill. Low and Mid Grade foundation establishment pills were only suitable for selling to build a reputation for the Su Clan Chamber of Commerce.

The minimum standard for pills consumed by the Su Family members was High Grade.

He pushed open the door of the Pill Refining Room. As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, he sensed a fluctuation of spiritual power.

It was Ruan Ning breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining!

“Congratulations to Second Sister-in-law on your cultivation advancement. Second Brother, you need to work harder.”

Su Xuanxiao nudged Su Xuanming with his elbow and teased him.

Su Xuanming smiled and tapped Fourth Younger Brother’s forehead: “What kind of talk is that? It sounds like your Second Sister-in-law would bully me. She is not that kind of person.”

“Yes, yes, yes.” Su Xuanxiao responded perfunctorily, continuing to lie on the rocking chair studying the Formation Jade Slip from the Illusory Sound Sect.

Seeing this, Su Yang chuckled and shook his head, muttering in his heart that this kid had also started hiding things from his Family.

He noticed that Su Xuanxiao’s cultivation had quietly reached the Third Layer of Qi Refining, the same Realm as his Second Brother and Third Sister.

Su Yang’s Divine Sense probed further and found that Su Xuanjing was also close to a Breakthrough, but Su Xuanming was still far from the Fourth Layer of Qi Refining.

As time went by, the cultivation progress of his children gradually widened the gap.

They all possessed the True Spiritual Root and received the same cultivation resources, yet their cultivation speeds varied. There were too many factors influencing the progress of Cultivation.

Fortunately, Su Yang had the foresight to give Su Xuanming the Fate of Great Potential in Later Years, so he did not need to worry about his future.

However, his youngest daughter, Su Xuanling, had no Spiritual Root. Her future achievements were uncertain.

She was so well-behaved; she should listen to Father and Mother and strive to Cultivate.

“Xuanming, is the matter handled?” Su Yang walked up to the two brothers and asked.

Su Xuanming’s smile faded, and he nodded solemnly: “It has been taken care of, but the news was spread rather secretly. I don’t know if Old Dog Jiang noticed it.”

Since they wanted Jiang Wuyu to discover the ‘truth,’ the method of spreading the news could not be too direct.

His method was extremely subtle: he arranged for a Cultivator passing through Qingyuan to inadvertently bring up the Su Family in a teahouse, then extend the conversation to Su Yang’s past, vaguely mentioning a forbidden area Su Yang had visited during that period, focusing the discussion on a treasure that even great powers were fighting over at that time.

The rest was left to Jiang Wuyu to imagine and investigate.

The forbidden areas in the Cultivation World hid countless Heaven And Earth Treasures. The key was that Su Yang had indeed wandered around that area when he was young, although he hadn't entered.

A mix of truth and falsehood is the hardest to verify, and human imagination is beyond measure.

Su Xuanming's only concern was that the news was spread too secretly. For safety, he only designed this one instance of topic discussion.

If Jiang Wuyu missed it, the effort would be wasted. But if he guided the topic multiple times, it would make Jiang Wuyu suspicious.

Seeing his son looking troubled, Su Yang smiled: “A discerning person will certainly pay attention. Do not underestimate the Divine Sense detection of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator. As long as the task is done, that’s enough. Absolutely do not overdo it.”

He patted his son’s shoulder and glanced across the inner courtyard.

He suddenly noticed his youngest daughter, Su Xuanling, sneaking up to his leg.

“Daddy,” she said softly but clearly, carrying the innocence and anticipation unique to a child, “I want to raise a few flying Spirit Beasts.”

This was the first time she had made a request to her father.

Su Yang smiled and squatted down: “No problem. After Daddy goes to Yunmeng Ruins this time, I will definitely bring back a few baby flying Yao Beasts for you.”

“Thank you, Daddy!”

Su Xuanling wrapped her arms around Su Yang’s neck and happily kissed his face.

Su Yang smiled and stroked his daughter’s head. His gaze inadvertently swept over the crowd and he happened to see Ruan Ning walking out of a room with a smile on her face.

Su Xuanjing and the others offered congratulations one after another, and Ruan Ning returned their greetings gracefully and appropriately.

Qin Jiangmei also noticed Ruan Ning’s appearance. She quietly moved to her husband’s side and transmitted her voice: “Does my husband think Ruan Ning has passed the test?”

Su Yang instantly understood his wife’s meaning. He nodded slightly: “She can. You teach her the Daoist Magic.”

After two years of getting along, the Su Family members had a deep understanding of Ruan Ning.

Ruan Ning had completely integrated into the Su Family, had risked her life for the Family, and was intelligent and knew how to keep secrets. They could safely teach her the Hunyuan Condensing True Method.

Since they were one Family, they should pursue the Great Dao of Longevity together!

Su Yang did not avoid his children when he spoke. Su Xuanming, not far away, heard this and instantly understood his father’s meaning.

His body trembled with excitement, and his eyes immediately reddened: “Father! Thank you!”

Su Xuanming almost knelt down in gratitude but was restrained by Su Yang’s spiritual power.

“As long as they are Family, they are qualified to Cultivate this method.”

Su Yang patted his son’s shoulder: “However, you must remember that the Family Rules cannot change. Whether your future daughter-in-law or son-in-law is qualified to Cultivate this method in the future must be assessed and judged by you. You cannot pass it on casually.”

“Your child understands!”

Su Xuanming nodded solemnly, his tone firm and powerful.

Everyone present smiled warmly; the Family was harmonious and joyful in the courtyard.

An Ziyao suddenly ran into the inner courtyard, shouting excitedly: “Family Head, Young Master and Young Mistress are back!”
