“Master, you actually succeeded on your first try, that’s too shocking. I thought you might fail this time.” Xia Jingyan was genuinely surprised, looking at Zhou Sui.
Even seasoned Second Stage Alchemists can’t guarantee success in alchemy, based on her estimations.
At least two or three attempts are usually necessary to create just one or two pills.
Yet here her husband was, succeeding on his first try. It was truly unprecedented.
If the news got out, it would undoubtedly shake the Alchemy World.
“It’s not only about success, but it’s also three high-quality Foundation Pills.” “At the auction in Misty Cloud City, one high-quality Foundation Pill was worth over four hundred thousand Lower Grade Spiritual Stones.” “So now, three Foundation Pills equate to over a million Lower Grade Spiritual Stones, right?!”
Mu Ziyi was left speechless, staring at the three high-quality Foundation Pills inside of the Pill Furnace.
This wasn’t just a simple pill to her; it was an enormous fortune, astonishingly vast.
Even cultivators at the Foundation Establishment stage would yearn for these pills, willing to kill for such wealth.
“Master, you are truly a genius Alchemist. I knew there was nothing you couldn’t master.”
Ji Bingyu was awe-inspired, looking adoringly at Zhou Sui, a blush creeping onto her fair cheeks.
A warm feeling surged within her, filling her with untold happiness.
“He’s actually succeeded? Looks like the lad wasn’t boasting, he really can make Foundation Pills.”
From afar, Leng Yuexi was similarly astonished.
She had previously thought Zhou Sui’s alchemy attempt was doomed to fail; after all, even the Pill Masters within the Immortal Mist Sect weren’t confident in their ability to produce Foundation Pills flawlessly.
Even those capable of producing Foundation Pills are few and far between. Within the Immortal Mist Sect, there were only two or three of them. If someone could successfully produce a Foundation Pill, they could be considered a master of alchemy.
Who would have thought, a cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Stage could compare to an Alchemy Master? It was unthinkable.
Without a doubt, if Zhou Sui were to show up at the Immortal Mist Sect now, he would immediately be invited to become an external elder of the Sect, a position comparable to a Direct Disciple.
The value of a Second Stage Alchemist is simply too great.
Even disciples from the wicked sect, who enjoy pointless slaughter, wouldn’t dare to easily kill an Alchemist.
Not killing Alchemists has become an unwritten rule when sects clash.
It’s simply too difficult for an Alchemist to achieve something, they’re akin to top-tier scientists.
You can’t cultivate one just by wanting to.
If they don’t possess the talent, no amount of resources can foster their growth.
So, for people who hold such high technology and yet do not possess substantial killing power, it’s best to avoid killing them if possible.
Why not capture them instead, making them spend their days and nights making pills for you? Wouldn’t that be great?!
Hence, becoming a Second Stage Alchemist is like obtaining a get-out-of-jail-free card.
Of course, Zhou Sui wouldn’t want to become just another alchemy minion. He only practices alchemy for the sake of his own journey, not for the benefit of others.
“Wait, if that lad has successfully created a Foundation Pill, how am I going to repay my debt to him?”
“Besides a Foundation Pill, what else can I offer?”
At this point, Leng Yuexi was experiencing a turmoil of emotions.
As a way to repay Zhou Sui for saving her life, she had originally planned to gift him a Foundation Pill from her sect.
But now, he no longer needed a Foundation Pill from the Immortal Mist Sect, he could make his own.
This meant that the repayment she had planned was no longer necessary. In such a situation, she was at a complete loss, unable to figure out what else Zhou Sui would want.
Regarding her aiding Zhou Sui in hunting Second Stage beasts, she didn’t view it as returning his favor.
It was more like a simple task, nothing noteworthy.
“Yu’er, Purple Yan, Jingyan, you can take these three exquisite Foundation Pills.”
“Rest for a period of time and get yourselves to the peak state, then use the Foundation Pills for Foundation Establishment.”
“You don’t need to worry about failure. If you don’t succeed this time, there will be another chance.”
“It’s just a mere Foundation Pill. As long as I get a Second Stage Demon Core, I can casually refine a bunch. There’s simply no need to go to some shitty auction. I can personally refine them.”
At this moment, Zhou Sui felt a sense of clarity within the Alchemy Room, his mood incredibly relaxed.
He gave the three exquisite Foundation Pills to his companions.
Previously, he had to attend auction events and compete with loads of people for Foundation Pills, being treated like a doormat by the Alchemists.
Moreover, even after securing a Foundation Pill at an auction, there was always the threat of being killed and robbed by others.
In short, acquiring a Foundation Pill at an auction was fraught with risks.
But now, he could directly make Foundation Pills himself without going to any auctions.
Without a doubt, his journey is now clear and no one can obstruct his path.
“Master, you’re so good to us.”
On hearing this, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan all gazed adoringly at Zhou Sui, their hearts filled with love.
They were at a loss for words, unable to describe their overwhelming gratitude. All they could say was that they had chosen the right partner, making it all worth it.
If they had chosen any other man, they wouldn’t have had the opportunity to get a Foundation Pill.
For the next few days, they rested and recuperated, bringing their essential qi to its highest, most perfect state.
This involved their journey towards cultivation, so failure wasn’t an option. If they failed, it would mean wasting a high-quality Foundation Pill, a pill of great value that money can’t buy in the outside world.
Of course, Zhou Sui assisted, helping his companions feel relaxed and joyful.
However, it was all worth it.
After three days and nights of diligent cultivation, Ji Bingyu, Mu Ziyi, and Xia Jingyan felt satisfied, their essential qi reaching the peak.
While it’s too soon to say that success is guaranteed in the Foundation Establishment stage, the chances of unforeseen circumstances are quite slim. Zhou Sui’s cultivation has also improved significantly, and he’s likely to be close to the Qj Cultivation ninth Layer.
Maybe he’ll start the process of reaching the Foundation Establishment soon.
“Ready to try Foundation Establishment?”
At this moment, Leng Yuexi sensed Zhou Sui’s condition.
She too was amazed that the three women were ready to attempt Foundation Establishment.
Even within the Immortal Mist Sect, those who were True Disciples still had to wait for a Foundation Pill.
It often took over a decade to get one.
People were usually in their thirties or forties by the time they began attempting Foundation Establishment.
However, this was inevitable given the small number of Foundation Pills available.
Within the sect, there were many cultivators but far too few pills. Waiting in line was the only option.
Nowhere else could they receive a Foundation Pill and attempt Foundation Establishment immediately.
It certainly helps to have the right partner; it saves a great deal of time and hard work.
Having a good partner was as if one was reborn, leading to drastic changes in one’s life.
No wonder they say choosing a partner needs careful consideration. It’s extremely Important.
Leng Yuexi was filled with a slew of thoughts..
