Chapter 170: Chapter 82: Foundation Establishment (Part 2)

Finally, unity of Heaven and Earth, refining Yin and Yang together, lifted to twelve fire power.

Shen Hex also opened the last storage pouch, throwing in various Tier Four Spiritual Objects filled with pure Spiritual Qi, refining them into a shimmering white light within the Qiankun Furnace under the Yin Yang Fire.

One red dragon, one cyan dragon, one white dragon.

Three dragons, three talents; three talents, three splendors!

"Ha!!!"

At the final stage, Shen Hex became even more decisive, casting techniques, pouring in Gang Yuan Magical Power, using the Five Elements Technique to enhance the Eight Trigrams Furnace Fire.

"Boom!!!"

Under the power boost, the furnace fire roared to life, the power of Heaven and Earth soared to eighteen parts, the Kan Gen Zhen Xun Li Dui six directions also ignited three parts auxiliary fire, totaling thirty-six parts fire power concentrated within the furnace.

With the effect of this fire power, the Three Talents Spirit Light gradually merged, intertwining the Essence, Qi, and Spirit of the Three Splendors power, creating a mystical transformation, rebirth.

Shen Hex sat outside the furnace, his eyes reflected the firelight, intently watching the merging and interconnecting of the Three Splendors power.

The Great Dao has three thousand paths, all leading to the same goal.

The principles of refining this Foundation Establishment Pill are similar to those of cultivators establishing their foundation; both are methods of Unity of the Three Splendors and mystical transformation.

Therefore, refining this Foundation Establishment Pill provides a certain benefit to cultivators in their foundation establishment, serving as experience accumulation, which Shen Hex naturally won’t miss.

In such a manner, after an uncertain period, a wisp of strange fragrance suddenly emerged from within the furnace fire, invigorating Shen Hex’s spirit sitting outside the furnace.

"It’s done!"

Shen Hex’s eyes narrowed, then he cast a technique to extinguish the Eight Trigrams Furnace Fire, the Yin Yang Taiji closing, leaving only one furnace cauldron standing in front.

Shen Hex urged his magical power, opened the Eight Trigrams Furnace cauldron, and instantly pill fragrance wafted, with golden light flickering inside, akin to a blazing sun placed in the furnace.

"Ha!"

Shen Hex laughed, casting a technique, drawing the golden light out of the furnace, lightly landing it in his palm.

As soon as the golden light reached his hand, it converged internally, transforming into nine pills, each with a golden hue and three pill lines like dragons and snakes coiling around, emitting a faint strange fragrance.

"Tier Four Spirit Pill, and it’s upper grade!"

"Marvelous, marvelous!"

Looking at the nine golden pills in his hand, Shen Hex’s smile became even brighter.

Although pills have grade divisions, like the Technique with Dharma Artifacts, Spiritual Artifacts, Magical Treasures, and Spiritual Treasures, it’s too awkward, so everyone still prefers to classify by tier, then within the tier divide the grade.

Like this Foundation Establishment Pill, its proper name should be Lower Grade Spirit Pill, further divided among lower grade into lower upper grade Spirit Pill, or lower lower grade Spirit Pill.

This is too awkward, so they switched to using tiers, thereby distinguishing the Tier Four Upper Grade Spirit Pill, Tier Four Lower Grade Spirit Pill.

Now the Foundation Establishment Pill that Shen Hex refined belongs to the upper grade, because the integration of the Three Splendors power is excellent, so the quality improved; after consumption, not only can it protect the body, avoiding damage from foundation establishment failure, but also aid the Three Splendors power, enhancing the effect of foundation establishment.

This kind of upper grade pill, greatly surpasses ordinary grade pills, one can match three; if facing a wealthy and demanding client, matching five or six would be no problem.

Shen Hex is very satisfied with this; although for this alchemy session he spent a fortune, investing all the Tier Four Spiritual Objects cultivated over the years on Fish Dragon Island, it was worth the investment; refining these nine upper grade Foundation Establishment Pills, the value may not increase a hundredfold, but several tens of times is certain.

Thus, the benefits of the Alchemy Dao are evident!

The investment is high, cultivation is difficult, but once successful, it yields a thousandfold, even a hundredfold return.

Not only the Alchemy Dao, all Hundred Skills of Cultivation are like this.

"Come here!"

Shen Hex put away one golden pill, distributed the remaining eight into jade bottles, then opened the door to the Alchemy Room.

"Master!"

Several disciples entered the room, bowing in salute.

Shen Hex smiled and said, "How many days did this alchemy take?"

A disciple replied, "Reporting to Master, this alchemy session lasted nine days!"

"Nine days?"

Shen Hex murmured, then tossed a storage pouch: "This time Master has refined eight Foundation Establishment Pills, deliver them to the Government Treasury and notify everyone, if there’s a need, they can exchange with their merits."

"Foundation Establishment Pill!?"

"Yes!!!"

The disciple’s eyes widened with excitement, catching the storage pouch with both hands, then bowing as he left the Alchemy Room.

"You all may leave too!"

"Yes!"

The crowd exited, leaving the Alchemy Room empty once more.

Shen Hex sat alone, silently practicing Primordial Skill, restoring his magical power.

Although in recent years Fish Dragon Island has had numerous foundation establishments, the majority were his Contracted Spirit Beasts, but only a few Human Race cultivators and Water Race Spirit Monsters.

There was no way around it, foundation establishment without pills is too dangerous.

His Contracted Spirit Beasts have strong bloodlines, advancing without worry.

Yet Human Race cultivators and Water Race Spirit Monsters don’t have this advantage; over the years, many have suffered or perished during foundation establishment.

This made Shen Hex heartbroken, because these disciples were Immortal Fate People, either extraordinarily talented or possessing unique treasures, facing such risks was really not worthwhile.

Therefore, in recent years, he focused on the research of Foundation Establishment Pills, and now successfully concocted Foundation Establishment Pills.

Nine Foundation Establishment Pills, one for his own use, the other eight entirely placed in the Government Treasury for his disciples to exchange with merits.

Although this seems somewhat inverted, like an employer making money for employees, Shen Hex doesn’t mind.

One must have a long-term vision, not just focus on short-term gains; the Foundation Establishment Pills given now might seem valuable, but compared to future returns, they are negligible, the current investment is for future harvest, not just once but continuous harvesting.

This is also why major sects emphasize nurturing disciples; amidst worldly bustle, all seek profit, the Immortal Dao is a noble private path, if there were no benefits, would major sects expend resources to cultivate disciples?

...

The matter of pills, for now, let’s say no more.
