Yellow Court Daoist-Chapter 184 - 175: Granting the Pill [Request for Monthly Votes!]
[Elixir: Vibrant Sun Pill]
[Grade: First-rank]
[Derivation Technique: Five times enhancement]
[Description: When consumed by a cultivator in the Energy Introduction Realm, it can replace years of arduous cultivation. For cultivators at the Peak of True Qi Realm, there is a certain chance to achieve a Breakthrough in Foundation Establishment]
"Glug!"
Wang Yuan, listening to Lu Qingfeng's introduction of the Vibrant Sun Pill, couldn't help but swallow.
Before he met Lu Qingfeng, he had already reached the Eighth Layer of the True Qi Realm. After four years of rigorous cultivation, he had reached the Peak of True Qi Realm. If he could obtain a Vibrant Sun Pill, perhaps—
With this thought.
Wang Yuan suddenly remembered what Elder Lu had mentioned earlier, which seemed profound and he had not directly replied about the whereabouts of the remaining Vibrant Sun Pill.
"Could it be—"
Wang Yuan abruptly looked up, saw the smile on Elder Lu's face, and his heart immediately started 'thumping' wildly.
"The big brother means that three Vibrant Sun Pills are gifted to Elder Gu Qin. The last one goes to Uncle Wang."
"Uncle Wang has been busy these past few years, and big brother has long wanted to show his appreciation. Apart from the three sent to Elder Gu Qin, Uncle Wang is the first to receive this time."
Lu Qingyu, standing beside, saw that Wang Yuan had guessed yet couldn't believe it and immediately said with a smile.
"This—"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yuan's mind went blank.
He turned his head to look at Lu Qingfeng again, saw Elder Lu nodding slightly. Wang Yuan could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and hastily knelt down, his voice trembling, "Subordinate... your subordinate thanks the Elder!"
"Get up."
Lu Qingfeng waved his sleeve, and immediately a breeze helped Wang Yuan to his feet.
...
Wang Yuan was dumbfounded and didn't even know how he left Peak Rain Mountain. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he tightened his grip—the Dan Bottle containing four Vibrant Sun Pills was in his hand.
"Really—"
Wang Yuan then came back to his senses, everything was real.
Lu Qingyu watched Wang Yuan leave and puzzledly said, "Big brother, it's just one first-rank elixir pill, isn't Uncle Wang's reaction a bit too much?"
Lu Qingfeng responded with a soft laugh, "This is you being blissfully unaware. Ordinary cultivators, especially those in the True Qi Realm, where do they get elixir pills? Even top-level elixir pills are carefully budgeted before one can afford to buy them. Entry-level Spirit Pills are nowhere to be found and unaffordable."
"Alchemists are rare in the world, so are Spirit Pills. And yet, True Qi Realm cultivators are in abundance."
"Within the Luoxia Sect, the majority of True Qi Realm cultivators, after transitioning from disciples to deacons, are often stifled by limited resources and struggle to break through the Peak of True Qi Realm. With the Vibrant Sun Pill, Wang Yuan has a greater chance than hundreds, nearly a thousand deacons in the Luoxia Sect to breakthrough into Foundation Establishment."
"Of course, it's a surprise."
Lu Qingfeng explained to Qingyu, while also feeling a bit emotional.
Cultivators like Wang Yuan are too numerous.
Clearly having set foot on the path of cultivation, yet due to various reasons, they can only look on helplessly from outside.
It's truly lamentable.
However, amongst the countless True Qi Realm cultivators, how many could get access to a Vibrant Sun Pill?
Even Foundation Establishment and Spirit Void Practitioners find medicinal herbs and elixir pills insufficient, how many could be allotted to True Qi Realm cultivators?
Wang Yuan is fortunate to have met him.
Although the Vibrant Sun Pill is a first-rank Spirit Pill, like the Foundation Establishment Pill, it has a miraculous effect on Cultivation Foundation Establishment. Its value far exceeds ordinary first-rank elixir pills.
Lu Qingfeng has enhanced its formula five times and the Vibrant Sun Pills he refined, although inferior to similarly enhanced Foundation Establishment Pills.
But Wang Yuan's Root Bone is far superior to Lu Qingfeng's.
With one Vibrant Sun Pill, the chance of establishing Foundation is at least 60 to 70 percent certain.
"He might not yet realize the real potency of the Vibrant Sun Pill."
Lu Qingfeng chuckled inwardly.
Wang Yuan's delight stems from acquiring a first-rank Spirit Pill, hopeful for Foundation Establishment.
This 'hope', in Wang Yuan's view, only slightly increased his own chances through arduous cultivation from less than ten to about twenty percent.
If Wang Yuan knew that swallowing one Vibrant Sun Pill gave him a 60 to 70 percent chance of Foundation Establishment.
"I'm afraid my heart is going to act irregularly."
"It's detrimental to cultivation."
"That's why Lu Qingfeng didn't tell directly."
"One Vibrant Sun Pill could almost enable him to achieve Foundation Establishment. In the Luoxia Sect and the Juyun Mountain Range, a lot of things are inadequate with just the True Qi Realm cultivation. Advancing to Foundation Establishment makes things much more convenient."
It took Lu Qingfeng over four years for Wang Yuan.
Over these years, he has observed his capabilities and loyalty. One Vibrant Sun Pill is not a big deal for him. If one is not enough for Wang Yuan to establish foundation, Lu Qingfeng would bestow even more.
Until Wang Yuan achieves Foundation Establishment.
It's rare to have a subordinate who meets one's expectations, and it would be a pity if he becomes old in three to four decades due to cultivation limitations.
"No wonder there are so many disciples and deacons in the Luoxia Sect, yet there are only a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators."
Lu Qingyu suddenly realized this after listening.
She had always been by her brother's side, never lacking miraculous medicines and spiritual pills, completely unaware of the 'human suffering'. It was only recently from Wang Yuan's reaction that she became aware.
"Lucky for Uncle Wang to have met big brother."
"I met big brother from the womb, I'm even luckier!"
Lu Qingyu said with a laugh, then stepped forward and hugged her brother's arm.
Lu Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh at her words, "Nonsense, we are not twins, how could we meet in the womb?"
Lu Qingyu hummed, "When mother was pregnant with me, didn't big brother see? Inside that belly was me. Seeing me inside, naturally, I met big brother."
Lu Qingyu said a bunch of twisted logic, making Lu Qingfeng laugh and nod in agreement.
Lu Qingyu then was satisfied, loosening the hold on her big brother's arm, her eyes blinking as she asked with pursed lips, "Elder Gu Qin gave big brother the spirit medicine seeds, and big brother reciprocated with the Vibrant Sun Pill. This exchange of gifts, could it be fostering a relationship?"
"Hmm."
"Did I guess right? It must be because Uncle Wang was present, big brother feels embarrassed to admit it."
Lu Qingyu crossed her arms, her expression smirking.
"Nonsense."
Lu Qingfeng shook his head.
"Why give her such a precious pill as the Vibrant Sun Pill instead of just an ordinary first-grade Spirit Pill?" Lu Qingyu was skeptical.
"You!"
Lu Qingfeng, helpless, had to explain, "The Vibrant Sun Pill has miraculous effects for True Qi Realm cultivators to establish foundation. How many are at the peak of the True Qi Realm in Luoxia Sect? If there are enough Vibrant Sun Pills, it's enough to advance many Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators in a short time. By gifting Elder Gu Qin the Vibrant Sun Pill, I'm essentially revealing the effects of Vibrant Sun Pills to the Luoxia Sect through her."
"Huh?"
Lu Qingyu listened and didn't joke anymore, listening attentively.
Lu Qingfeng continued, "We still need to stay in the Juyun Mountain Range for nearly a hundred years; the stronger the Luoxia Sect is, the fewer troubles there will be. Vibrant Sun Pills can help Luoxia Sect produce many more Foundation Establishment Cultivators, establishing a dominant position in the Juyun Mountain Range. This is the simplest and most effective method."
As for whether the powerful Luoxia Sect would ever betray and turn against their benefactor...
These melodramatic scenarios, with a little thought, one would know they are impossible.
With no conflicts of interest, why would the Luoxia Sect want to sever ties with 'Dan and Artifact Double Extreme' Lu Qingfeng?
Not to mention, they wouldn't offend him.
They would even go out of their way to curry favor.
Like the Spirit Stones that Lu Qingshan and Lu Qingyu obtained in Hundred Herbs Garden, although handed over to the Luoxia Sect for safekeeping, neither Zhou Yuan nor the three Supreme Elders would let anyone touch these Spirit Stones at all.
Several hundred to a thousand Spirit Stones, they can't compare to a 'Master Lu'.
Moreover, not every cultivator is entirely selfish.
Lu Qingyu, tilting her head, looked again at her big brother and hesitated, "Big brother's feelings towards Elder Gu Qin—"
Before she could finish, seeing her big brother pretend to be angry, she quickly changed the subject, pointing to the spirit medicine seeds and medicinal plant seeds brought by Wang Yuan, "Big brother didn't come to Sky Pit Mine to plant spirit medicines, did he?"
"To plant medicines in a mine, that would be laughed at if it gets out."

Lu Qingyu covered her face, eyes wide open.
"Plant what medicine in a mine!"
Lu Qingfeng waved his hand, gathering all the seeds into a storage bag.
