321: Chapter 321 Dragon Elephant Marrow Cleansing Pill, Success

With his cultivation base increased and his total spirit power expanded, to outsiders, his Alchemy speed would naturally improve as well; after all, Su Cheng's Divine Soul cultivation had already reached the required level.

With his current Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation, twenty-four pills a year was already the theoretical limit.

Once he reached the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage, a fifty percent increase would be reasonable, and by the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, he could even claim to increase the quantity by another fifty percent.

But the prerequisite for all of this was that he had to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage first.

The Spirit Medicine required for the dragon-elephant marrow cleansing pill was ready, and the circulation path for the Burning Heaven Art was also prepared; everything was ready.

Su Cheng took the Storage Pouch gifted by Elder Shi Kun from his own Storage Pouch and laid out the Spirit Medicine one by one to count them.

Dragon-elephant blood essence, thousand-year earth marrow fluid, nine-turn bone-tempering flower, Tiangang Body Tempering sand, cold iron essence, profound underworld heavy water, earth dragon bone powder... there were twenty-three types of Spirit Medicine in total, each sealed in a spirit jade box, and the quality was excellent.

Su Cheng casually set up three layers of isolation Formations and took out the qiankun creation furnace from his Sea of Consciousness, placing it in front of him.

He then tossed all the Spirit Medicine into the qiankun creation furnace.

The creation furnace hummed as it operated; analysis, purification, Fusion, and pill condensation were all completed in one go.

Three days later, the furnace lid popped open.

A dragon-elephant marrow cleansing pill floated quietly in the center of the furnace chamber. Its body was dark gold, with fine dragon scale patterns circulating on the surface, emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.

A third-grade supreme grade dragon-elephant marrow cleansing pill, it was completed just that easily.

Su Cheng took out the Medicinal Pill and held it in his palm, examining it for a moment.

According to the records in the Pill Formula, the process of consuming this pill was extremely dangerous. The dragon-elephant power would scour the Meridians throughout the body, causing the meridian walls to become flexible and expand on their own amidst intense pain. During the process, one must use spirit power to protect the heart Meridians and the Sea of Consciousness; the slightest carelessness could lead to Qi Deviation.

For an ordinary Foundation Establishment Cultivator, the success rate of consuming this pill was less than thirty percent.

But Su Cheng had the Qi of Creation protecting his body, the creation furnace guarding his Sea of Consciousness, and his Divine Soul had already reached the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.

Su Cheng set up the final isolation Formation within the Immortal Cave.

He took out a batch of Heaven And Earth Treasure purchased from the Sect's Myriad Treasures Pavilion, including two bottles of heart-protecting pills, a box of third-grade Body Tempering paste, and several spirit jade talismans to be worn close to the body.

The heart-protecting pills were used to protect the heart Meridians and critical Acupoints, the Body Tempering paste could be applied all over the body to form a layer of spirit power protective film on the surface of the skin, flesh, and bones, and the spirit jade talismans were placed on the positions corresponding to the internal organs to prevent the dragon-elephant scouring power from shaking the internal organs.

It was all to protect his Physical Body.

Su Cheng held the heart-protecting pill under his tongue, applied the Body Tempering paste all over his body, and attached the spirit jade talismans one by one.

After all preparations were complete, he took a deep breath.

Then, he placed the dark golden dragon-elephant marrow cleansing pill into his mouth.

...

Tiangang Sect, in a side hall behind the main assembly hall.

Su Yunling had just finished reporting on a led training mission and was preparing to leave.

Walking to the entrance of the backyard, she paused.

People from the Zhenpin Pavilion had arrived; it was a familiar face, the manager responsible for regularly delivering cultivation resources to her.

"Fellow Daoist Su." Manager Qian walked up to Su Yunling and lowered his voice, handing over a Storage Pouch, "This is your cultivation resource for this year. Additionally, there is one matter I need to inform Fellow Daoist about."

Su Yunling took the Storage Pouch and waited for him to speak.

"Young Master Su took first place in the Danding Sect Alchemy Hall Competition and refined a top-grade nine-orifice golden spirit pill. Now, the entire Tianlan Province city is talking about it." Manager Qian said happily. As a manager for the Chamber of Commerce, he naturally knew that Su Yunling was the older sister of Young Master Su Cheng.

Su Yunling was first startled, then felt joy from the bottom of her heart.

The communication talisman of the Danding Sect could not reach her younger brother because the Sect had Formations isolating it from the outside world; usually, they relied on people from the Zhenpin Pavilion to pass messages back and forth.

"Thank you for telling me, you've worked hard."

Manager Qian bowed and then left.

After Manager Qian left, Su Yunling happily summoned her Flying Sword and flew toward her residence.

Her younger brother had actually won first place in the Danding Sect Alchemy Hall Competition and had even refined a superior-grade Medicinal Pill in public. Such stunning talent would surely be valued by the Danding Sect, and his future achievements would be limitless.

No one in the Tiangang Sect knew that the person who won first place in the Alchemy Hall Competition was her younger brother, Su Yunling's brother. How could a Golden Core Sect investigate a Nascent Soul Great Sect? Many things were kept hidden.

This was also why many messages were delayed. Just like the news within Qinghe Prefecture, people from the Prefecture City and the Danding Sect did not interfere too much, or rather, they were too lazy to investigate the news.

Every force had its regional divisions and prioritized developing its own territory; externally, they basically relied on commercial exchanges to expand and obtain resources.

After returning to her residence, Su Yunling once again began secluded cultivation. According to her current progress, she would be able to break through to the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage within half a year.

Qingyang Town, in the practice hut in the Su Family backyard, Su Chengyuan sat cross-legged.

At this moment, there was one more person in the room; it was Zhao Ping, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator stationed in Qinghe Prefecture by the Chamber of Commerce, who had come to deliver a message on the order of the President.

"Mr. Su." Zhao Ping said in a low voice, "Young Master Su took first place in the Danding Sect Alchemy Hall Competition and refined a top-grade nine-orifice golden spirit pill. His reputation has soared, and President Fang specifically instructed me to come and inform you."

Su Chengyuan was stunned for a few breaths after hearing this, then said, "I understand, you may go."

After Zhao Ping quietly retreated, Su Chengyuan finally suppressed the shock in his heart. He knew his son was capable, but he hadn't expected him to be this capable; that was the Danding Sect!

However, upon careful thought, it wasn't surprising. After all, he had known for a long time that his son could refine superior-grade Medicinal Pills; it was just that he had previously tried his best to hide it, but now it had been revealed to the public.

Thinking of this, Su Chengyuan stood up and walked to the window, pondering that his son must be planning a big move next.

After his son stood on the front stage, the Four Seas Chamber of Commerce and the Su Family would inevitably be pushed in front of more people.

Having the Danding Sect as a big tree to rely on was a good thing, but when a tree stands above the forest, the wind will surely destroy it; he also had to be prepared.

Perhaps it was time to officially stand out as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

The affairs in Qinghe County, relying solely on a few elders at the Late Qi Refining Stage and Su Yunhao to maintain them, were still too fragile.

Su Chengyuan walked back to the meditation cushion and sat down, resuming his cultivation.

The spirit power in his Dantian circulated slowly; his son was getting stronger, and he could not stop either.

As a Family, they should move forward together.

...

Four months had passed since the Alchemy Hall Competition, and the shock caused by that top-grade nine-orifice golden spirit pill had not only failed to subside but was instead snowballing.

The effect of this Medicinal Pill was simply too outrageous: it permanently increased the spirit power absorption and conversion speed of Cultivators below the Golden Core stage by forty percent.

What was the concept of forty percent?

An Early Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with mediocre Aptitude would originally need thirty years to accumulate enough spirit power foundation to attempt a Breakthrough to the Middle Stage, but after consuming this pill, they could reach the same storage amount in just over twenty years.

With the nearly ten years saved, how much more could they accomplish? How many more Opportunities could they find?

Now, even the Golden Core True Persons could not sit still. Who didn't have a few promising juniors under them? Who didn't want the successors they were cultivating to avoid ten years of detours?

The cost of ten thousand Mid-Grade Spirit Stones was indeed painful for a Golden Core Cultivator, but it wasn't something they couldn't afford.

Golden Core True Persons had plenty of channels to earn Mid-Grade Spirit Stones; at most, they would just throw in decades of savings and spend more time earning it back.

But the problem was that they couldn't get it.

The Danding Sect Alchemy Hall released news: top-grade nine-orifice golden spirit pills would be supplied with priority to the Giant Spirit Sect and the Fentian Sect, and the remaining quota was limited and would be distributed in the order of the waiting list.

And the Shiyin Sect, as another Nascent Soul Great Sect, had already submitted a formal purchase intention.

Once the three Nascent Soul Great Sects took their share, how many spots would be left for other forces?

The three great Nascent Soul families in the Prefecture City might be fine, but those Golden Core families and Sects began to panic. Since the formal channels were blocked, they turned their gaze toward...
