All he needed to keep were the top-quality ones for his elders. In Su Yu’s eyes, if it was for his elders, it should be of the highest quality, ensuring a hundred percent chance for them to achieve better condition and attempt a breakthrough.
If the ordinary-grade Ming Shen Pill were not needed, he wouldn’t want to keep it and risk exposing its existence.
“One for the Master, one each for Elder Su Chang and Elder Su Ruosu. Three top-quality ones will suffice,” he reasoned.
“As for the Family Head, his age is not a major issue yet. We can wait a year or two to collect new ingredients for the Ming Shen Pill, and then refine a top-quality or even a perfect-grade Ming Shen Pill. At that point, it would be even better for him to attempt a breakthrough.”
However, Su Yu hesitated for a moment, finally deciding to suppress this thought for the time being.
What if he couldn’t gather the new ingredients?
Then, destroying this one would be foolish.
“Never mind, better keep it. Just be careful not to expose it,” Su Yu shook his head as he contemplated the possibility.
Examining the top-quality Ming Shen Pill in his hand, Su Yu could sense dense demonic energy fluctuations radiating from it, consistent with the description in the Ming Shen Pill inheritance.
“I hope this works,” he murmured hopefully, placing the three top-quality Ming Shen Pills into a jade box and stored them in the Qian Kun Bag. The remaining regular-grade Ming Shen Pill was kept in a small jade box at the very bottom.
Afterward, Su Yu left seclusion with anticipation, calling upon his elders, Su
Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu.
In the main hall.
Upon seeing Su Chang and Su Ruosu, Su Yun looked at Su Yu curiously, asking, “What’s going on? Is there something that requires the assistance of us old chaps?”
After setting down a restriction shield around the main hall, Su Yu spoke in a hushed tone. “I have a way to improve your conditions and temporarily restore your peak state for a few days. During this period, you would have the opportunity to take the Foundation Establishment Pill to attempt advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
“However, the cost is high. Even if successful, you likely won’t be much stronger than the ordinary Qi Refinement Realm’s Level Nine, despite having reached the Foundation Establishment Realm’s Level One.”
“Moreover, once you have forcefully broken through, you probably won’t be able to increase your cultivation level anymore.”
“And if the breakthrough attempt fails, perhaps your lifespan would rapidly deplete.”
The three elders, Su Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu, were startled by Su Yu’s announcement of forcefully promoting their states to attempt advancing to the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After his initial shock, Su Yun, with a trembling excitement in his voice, asked,
“Is… is it really possible?”
He was aware that he didn’t have many years left to live.
If there were a method to break through to Foundation Establishment, he would willingly attempt.
Staring solemnly at Su Yun, Su Yu said earnestly, “Once you fail, there’s a high possibility you might not survive.”
Laughing heartily, Su Yun replied, “I only have a few years of good living left anyway. I didn’t take the Foundation Establishment Pill before because it was useless. But if I can restore my peak state and then take the Foundation Establishment Pill, perhaps, I might have a sixty to seventy percent chance of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.”
After a moment of silence, Su Yu nodded slowly in agreement.
He then turned to Elders Su Chang and Su Ruosu, asking, “Would the two of you like to give it a try?”
Stroking his white beard, Su Chang chuckled, “If I were to remain in my current state, it’s better if I retire and not waste the Foundation Establishment Pill.’
“However, if I were at my peak state plus taking the Foundation Establishment Pill, hmm, I might have a sixty percent chance of a breakthrough.”
Su Ruosu wore a complicated look on her face as she sighed lightly and said to Su Yu, “This old woman was prepared for departure, but you’ve given me hope again. ”
Su Yu immediately replied, “That’s not right; doing so will cost a great deal, sacrificing everything just for a breakthrough.”
With a soft laugh, the wrinkle-faced Su Ruosu with a head full of white hair said, “Once breakthrough is possible, it’s more than enough.’
“How many people in this world long for just one more year of life?”
Su Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu were all ordinary elderly members of the Su Family. They didn’t have great ambitions or the insanity of Old Demon Bai Yan, who chose the path of demonic sacrifice for the sake of longevity.
Now that they had the chance to live for a few more decades, it was more than enough for them.
They were all content.
“Then I will protect you in your cultivation,” said Su Yu, nervous about his elders’ risk due to their advanced age. If the breakthrough failed, there won’t be a second chance.
One month later.
Under the protection of Su Yu, Su Yun and Su Ruosu successfully broke through the bottleneck to the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm with the aid of the Ming Shen Pill and high quality Foundation Establishment Pills. This should extend their lives by about thirty to forty years.
The price for this was that both Su Yun and Su Ruosu were in a state of exhaustion for almost half a year before they fully recovered.
The breakthrough in their cultivation resulted in weak Foundation
Establishment seeds, making them the weakest among the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm. It would be almost impossible for them to further cultivate or breakthrough again.
The first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm was their limit.
Nevertheless, they were content and happy with their achievement.
Even with the assistance of high-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, the process of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Realm was not a guaranteed success.
While Su Yun and Su Ruosu managed to successfully reach the first level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, the First Elder of the Su Family, Su Chang, failed to withstand the impact of nature’s spiritual energy during the final stages of his breakthrough. His vital energy dispersed, and he never left the secret room..
