Underground shelter.
In a quiet room.
Zhou Sui paid no heed to the happenings in Misty Cloud City, knowing they would never locate him.
He was blissfully examining the numerous storage bags he had plundered from the Lu family, containing a plethora of treasures and an assortment of secret manuals.
“Wow, they’ve gathered quite a few cultivation technique manuals.”
Zhou Sui was astounded.
He sensed that there were at least a hundred manuals, each can be practiced until the Foundation Establishment Realm. Some even contained information to reach the Golden Core Realm.
For instance, Changchun Gong, Xiang Jia skill, Gul Yuan skill, Tu Li skill, and so on.
Each of these manuals could fetch thousands, even tens of thousands of Lower Grade Spiritual Stones at an auction.
This kind of manual is even unattainable by rich Loose Cultivators.
But in the Lu family, they were everywhere. Every Lu family member with enough aptitude could study these manuals.
This showed the depth of the Lu family potential.
The centuries-long family lineage was indeed no joke.
Of course, it also demonstrated the greatness of the Lu family’s patriarch. Essentially, he built the enormous wealth of the family himself. The rest of the Lu family members were only average in talent.
But the accumulated wealth of the Lu family over the past century now belonged to him.
“In addition to the cultivation technique manuals, there are legacies of Talisman Masters, Artifact Refiners, Array Masters, and Pill Masters. The techniques of the four cultivation arts are incredibly comprehensive.”
“The Lu family, possessing so much wealth in Misty Cloud City, have inherited a staggering amount of wealth. This is too exaggerated.”
“I suspect even the Foundation Establishment families that have been around for three to five hundred years can’t rival the heritage of the Lu family.”
“It must be due to the prosperity of Misty Cloud City. Nestled in the Cloud Mist Mountain Range, they have access to a steady stream of resources.”
“No wonder so many families envy the Lu family. They all want to kick them while they are down. They have simply amassed too much wealth.”
“Wait, there is indeed a Second Order Alchemist heritage. This is fantastic!”
Suddenly, Zhou Sui’s eyes lit up.
As he flipped through the remaining manuals, each piece of knowledge left him in awe. These teachings were beyond what he had previously possessed.
This was the cultivation knowledge which is almost impossible for Loose Cultivators to access.
This shows how severe the monopoly on knowledge in the cultivation world is.
Unless you reach a certain level, you don’t even qualify to have access.
Yet, naturally, what he values most is the Alchemist’s heritage, as it forms the basis of his identity.
In not too long a time, he finally found the jade record related to Second Order Alchemist heritage, and he was instantly overjoyed.
This was heritage knowledge that you couldn’t buy, even if you had Spirit Stones.
These were firmly monopolised by sects, and the Loose Cultivators had no eligibility to access them.
Unless you were to join a sect, it was virtually impossible to obtain such knowledge otherwise.
His earlier suspicion turned out correct; the Lu family did possess the Second Order Alchemist heritage.
The reality even surpassed his imagination. It was even more complete than what he had expected.
Clearly, the patriarch of the Lu family knows the importance of the Alchemist heritage. It’s something that could establish the foundation of the family.
If the family were to indeed birth a Second Order Alchemist, they could potentially develop the Lu family into a millennia-old lineage.
“I’ve struck it. With this Second Order Alchemist knowledge, I’m sure to become a Second Order Alchemist.”
Zhou Sui was ecstatic.
After waiting for such a long time, he finally got it.
He was just one step away from becoming a Second Order Alchemist, only lacking the knowledge of a Second Order Alchemist, thus unable to progress.
Thinking of this, he could not control his excitement and immediately let Book Worm out to devour this Alchemist heritage jade record.
Swish swish-
Bookworm instantly pounced on it, beginning to consume the heritage jade record.
When the entirety of the jade record entered Bookworm’s stomach, in an instant, a torrent of vast amount of knowledge poured into the depths of his Sea of Consciousness.
All kinds of knowledge about the Second Order Alchemist instantly appeared in his mind.
His Alchemist Cultivation was already at the peak of First-grade Superior, but he had been unable to break through.
After obtaining this knowledge, he felt as though he had received the key to the last gate, enabling him to shatter his bottleneck instantly.
Second Order Alchemist!
In an instant, Zhou Sui sensed a further improvement in his understanding of the Alchemist realm. This phenomenal growth was simply unimaginable.
“So this is the secret of a Second Order Alchemist?”
“To become a Second Order Alchemist, the most important thing is the use of Divine Sense.”
Zhou Sui had a sudden realization, immediately understanding why Qi Cultivation cultivators can hardly become Second Order Alchemists, no matter how talented they are, they can only achieve a First-grade Superior Alchemist Realm.
The reason is that to become a Second Order Alchemist, one must master the use of Divine Sense.
Without Divine Sense, no matter how amazing the talent, one cannot enter the Second Order Alchemist realm.
“Second Order Pills are more powerful than First Order Pills. Particularly the various spiritual medicines required for combining into a Second Order Pill – they’re nearly impossible to refine with ordinary techniques.”
“At this stage, you need to use the power of Divine Sense to detect various impurities inside the spiritual medicines.”
“These internal impurities of the spiritual medicines cannot be found without the aid of Divine Sense.”
“It’s exactly like microorganisms. Without the aid of a microscope, you can’t find them.”
“Only by using the power of Divine Sense to sense these impurities, and harnessing the Power of Earth Fire to eliminate them, can you greatly increase the success rate of Second Order Pills.”
“Without the aid of Divine Sense, it’s basically impossible to purify spiritual medicines.”
“If many impurities within the spiritual medicine are not purified and various spiritual medicines conflict with each other, alchemy will inevitably fail, and naturally, it will be impossible to concoct Second Order Pills.”
“The number of attempted concoctions will equal the number of failures.”
Zhou Sui’s eyes gleamed.
Undoubtedly, this is the wonderful application of Divine Sense by Foundation Establishment cultivators. The power of Divine Sense isn’t used only for sensing enemies, but also for concocting pills, refining artifacts, creating talismans, etc.
Many abilities of cultivators can only be achieved by becoming a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage.
Therefore, the Foundation Establishment Realm is truly the starting point in the world of cultivation.
As for Qi Cultivation cultivators, they aren’t even considered at the starting point, they are just regarded as kings in the mortal world.
No wonder genius alchemists who achieved the Second Order Alchemist rank during Qi Cultivation period are so highly valued. Their status is on par with Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It’s not just because they possess the skill to concoct Second Order Pills.
More importantly, becoming a Second Order Alchemist signifies the formation of Divine Sense.
If so, a Second Order Alchemist will inevitably be a Foundation Establishment cultivator – there is at least a fifty percent chance.
If you add in the Foundation Pill, the chance goes up to seventy to eighty percent.
If they can further enhance their vitality and mana to the perfect state, then they are almost certain to reach Foundation Establishment.
The issue is, like giant pandas, people who can become a Second Order Alchemist in the Qi Cultivation period are rare.
