This is a hierarchy.
Attaining the Foundation Establishment Realm is not the same as the Qi Refinement State.
The fact that Su Yu has a low-grade Spiritual Root, when washed with top-quality Foundation Establishment pills, could be compensated for.
Thinking of his beloved daughter, Yu Baihe sighed lightly from the bottom of his heart: ‘It’s your choice, it’s up to you.’
Beside him, Elder Yu Dongfei of the Yu Family, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, furrowed his brow at Su Yu, asking, “How did you do it? With a cultivation level at the first stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, you were able to refine a Foundation Establishment Pill? And one of them is of premium quality!”
Yu Dongfei was the top Alchemist of the Yu Family. He was at the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and was over a hundred and twenty years old. Yet, only at the lower tier of the second-rank Alchemist stage, he couldn’t refine a Foundation Establishment Pill.
He didn’t believe that anyone at the first stage of the Foundation
Establishment Realm could refine a Foundation Establishment Pill, let alone one of premium quality!
But now, with three Foundation Establishment Pills placed before him, he had to believe it, whether he wanted to or not.
Su Yu chuckled and picked out that premium Foundation Establishment Pill from the three, passing it to Aunt Luo Qingya, saying, “Earlier, Aunt gave me a Soul Fruit which allowed me to gather enough materials to refine this batch of pills.”
“Therefore, Aunt, please accept this Foundation Establishment Pill.” Luo Qingya paused slightly, looking at the still-warm Foundation Establishment Pill.
That was the only premium-quality pill!
Su Yu looked towards Yu Baihe, saying, “Uncle, I have some understanding of Alchemy. At present, I can’t refine any middle or high-grade second-rank pills, but I can still manage lower-grade second-rank pills like the Foundation
Establishment Pill. If the Yu Family needs to refine Foundation Establishment Pills in the future, they can ask me to do it for them.”
This was his real aim!
Hearing this, Yu Dongfei frowned again, about to say something, but remembering the Foundation Establishment Pill that Su Yu had prepared, he ended up closing his mouth.
In the past, when the Yu Family needed Foundation Establishment Pills, they had to ask for Bai Yan, a Pill Master from Wu Yan Mountain.
Most of the second-rank middle and high-grade pills acquired by the Yu family were also sourced from Bai Yan Pill Master.
However,
When it came to the quality of the produced Foundation Establishment Pills, Bai Yan Pill Master might just be on par, and perhaps slightly inferior. That’s because he had a hard time refining a premium-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, and it was likely he could only produce one every two or three decades.
His pill success rate was okay, around forty to fifty percent.
Basically, it took two sets of materials to refine one pill.
So, if they could give the Yu Family’s Foundation Establishment Pill materials to Su Yu, it might be a great deal for them.
Thinking about this, Yu Dongfei didn’t really have any reason to object.
Half a month later,
Su Yu left the Black Rock Mountain of the Yu Family, and Yu Ke’er followed him. Even though the clan leader of the Yu Family had not yet returned, Yu
Baihe had accepted on his behalf, letting Su Yu rent the cave dwelling in Da Yue
Hei City unconditionally.
The condition was that Su Yu would refine a batch of Foundation
Establishment Pills for the Yu Family about every five years, for which the Yu Family would provide two sets of materials each time.
How could Su Yu not agree to such a condition?
If he’s in a good condition, he might even get an extra set of Foundation Establishment Pill materials for free!
A massive profit!
And there was also the cave dwelling in Da Yue Hei City, which was located above a second-rank Spirit Vein, with a Spiritual Mountain, better than the Su Family’s Cang Mountain.
And this was not for Yu Ke’er, but his own.
Apart from that, his relationship with the Yu family had deepened significantly this time. Yu Ke’er went with him, and Yu Baihe, Luo Qingya, and the elders from the other households all agreed, even happily so.
The Yu Family had great power, but they had many weaknesses too.
A shortage of Alchemists was one of them.
In the past, their high-rank pills relied on Bai Yan Pill Master from Wu Yan Mountain, but Bai Yan Pill Master’s lifespan was already over a hundred and eighty years. Even with longevity, his lifetime limit wasn’t far off.
Within the Yunjian Sect’s territory, besides Bai Yan Pill Master, the Yu Family hadn’t found anyone who could replace him and provide a stable source of high-rank pills.
Now Su Yu appeared before their eyes, demonstrating decent Alchemy skills. The family elders from the three branches of the Yu Family were quite satisfied.
Yu Baihe’s decision to unconditionally rent out the cave dwelling in Da Yue Hei City to Su Yu had the support of all the family elders from all branches. This was to win Su Yu’s favor and to deepen the relationship between Su Yu and the Yu Family.
“Huh.”
Having left the Black Rock Mountain, Su Yu took a deep breath as he gazed into the distant sky.
The matter of the cave dwelling in Da Yue Hei City was settled, and another batch of Foundation Establishment Pills was refined.
Next, there was only left to forge two lower-grade second-rank puppet beasts for his family, then he could set off for Da Yue Hei City.
“A good start. I can gradually build up my reputation as a Pill Master.” Su Yu thought silently to himself, “With a reputation, I might find it easier to collect Shadow Stones and Eight-Arm Saber Beetle materials.” Thinking about the combat power of the second-rank top-tier puppet beast
‘Eight-Arm Saber Beetle’, Su Yu was full of anticipation.
Su Yu, with Yu Ke’er and Yu Qianqing, returned to the Su Family.
Half a month after the incident at the Bai Family in Maple City, the Su Family and the Chen Family decisively teamed up and divided up all of the Bai Family’s resources, especially the Spiritual Mine Mountain taken by the Su Family, which could generate at least ten thousand inferior Spirit Stones a year. You could say that when the Bai Family fell, the Su Family and the Chen Family both benefited handsomely.
This move was quite risky for the Su Family; in addition to needing to guard against the perpetrator who acted against the Bai Family overnight, they also had to prevent the potential hostility of the Huang Family from Guan Lan Mountain and the Jiang Family of Puppet Masters..
