“The Bai Family from Maple City are skilled in the art of rune crafting. They started as rune makers, and whilst they currently only have two ancestors at the Foundation Establishment Realm, they are significantly stronger than the average Foundation Establishment cultivation family.”

“Only the Yu Family from Black Rock Mountain, another cultivation power with their own unique strengths, could possibly surpass them.”

Second Elder Su Yun gently shook his head, calmly saying, “But, that’s the Bai

Family from Maple City, not the Lin Family.”

“Even if the Lin Family had someone marry into the Bai Family, it wouldn’t lead to the Bai Family getting their Foundation Establishment ancestors involved on their behalf.”

“At most, they would provide the Lin Family with some runic scrolls.” Su Yun saw through it all.

The Bai Family truly would not wage a huge war on the humble Su Family’s behalf. However, with the Bai Family’s support, the Lin Family could summon the might of the runic scrolls and attack the spirit veins of Cang Mountain again.

The friction between the Su Family and the Lin Family was reignited, with the Su Family often at a disadvantage.

Fortunately, since the Su Family used the Ensnaring Essence, it managed to regain lost ground in its conflict with the Lin Family.

The Bai Family did not interfere in the dispute between the Lin Family and the Su Family, so the Su Family wasn’t in danger for the time being.

In the following two years, the friction between the two families never ceased.

The Lin Family even attempted to break open the grand formation of Cang Mountain with inferior second-tier runic scrolls in order to seize the spirit veins.

But they were eventually beaten back by the Su Family, and both sides suffered losses.

At the Yun Mountain Market, Su Family’s Pill Pavilion.

Su Yu expertly opened the pill furnace in front of him, revealing five elixirs the size of green bodhis.

Unlike ordinary elixirs however, each of these five had clearly visible patterns on them.

Though they were just middle-grade first-tier Qi Refinement Pills, the spiritual energy and medicinal power contained in them were incredibly pure and potent, carrying an inexplicable profundity.

These were Elixir Patterns!

A regular middle-grade first-tier alchemist could turn a profit just by maintaining a 30% success rate in elixir refining.

If one could refine a high-quality middle-grade elixir of the first tier, they could be considered an elite of that tier.

But high-quality elixirs were difficult to refine, even for a top-tier first-tier alchemist refining a middle-tier one. Not every furnace batch could yield a high-quality result.

And a perfect elixir, was almost a thing of legend.

This is because a perfect elixir could achieve 100% of its medicinal effectiveness, would form unique Elixir Patterns, and contain a hint of the profound mysteries of the universe.

Don’t underestimate this hint, as for the average cultivator, it’s as useful as a god-given treasure.

At critical moments, it could play a decisive role.

For example, when you’re about to make a breakthrough but lack the momentum.

“My proficiency with middle-grade first-tier Qi Refinement Pills is now perfect,” Su Yu quietly replenished his mana and looked at the five perfect elixirs in the pill furnace with satisfaction.

He swept up the five perfect middle-grade first-tier Qi Refinement Pills into a jade bottle with a wave of his hand.

He then sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes to recuperate, and nursed his depleted essence, vigor, and spirit back to health, easing the mild sting in his mind.

A perfect Elixir Pattern pill was still so difficult to make, and drained a great deal of mental energy.

Maybe when his cultivation reaches the fifth or even the sixth level of Qi Refinement, refining this pill would be a bit easier on him. For now, he was truly a little tired.

After recovering, Su Yu opened his eyes, poured out a perfect middle-grade first-tier Qi Refinement Pill from the jade bottle, and swallowed it whole.

The medicinal power of the pill instantly exploded within his body, its effects even better than a normal first-tier top-grade Qi Refinement Pill.

What was more important was the hint of the universe’s profound mysteries contained in the pill.

With this thing, Su Yu found practicing the Green Wood Year Ring Skill seemed to get a little bit easier.

Two hours later, the effects of the Qi Refinement Pill exhausted.

Su Yu also finished practicing the Green Wood Year Ring Skill for the day.

To break through from the fourth phase to the fifth phase of the Green Wood Year Ring Skill, which is the fifth Qi Refinement Realm, it may take about five years.

With the Qi Refinement Pill’s assistance, the speed will increase a bit, but it may still take around four years.

He’s currently 19% away from reaching the next level of proficiency.

Noticing that his cultivation today was faster than yesterday, Su Yu secretly thought, “Perfectly concocted pills truly are more beneficial for me.”

“Starting from today, I will use the perfect Qi Refinement Pills for my practice.”

Over a year ago, he had become an intermediate rank one Alchemist. However, to refine his Alchemy skills and improve his proficiency with various pill formulas, he did not attempt to practice with high-rank level one medicinal pills.

One reason was that his cultivation level was not enough, which he found hard to sustain.

This was the primary reason.

Secondly, there was no rush. By increasing his proficiency with all the various rank one medicinal pill formulas, his foundation would be more solid.

As of today, he has attained full proficiency with nine pill formulas of the middle-grade rank one medicinal pills. He was able to concoct them with 100% success rate and even produce perfect patterned pills.

However, he did not reveal his true ability.

Publically, he was still an Alchemist who was successful 40% of the time and could occasionally concoct high-quality intermediate rank one medicinal pills.

The remaining materials were all concocted into the pills he needed and retained for himself.

These materials were enough to support his daily cultivation.

“Brother Yu, outside, Chen Sisi from the Yunjian Sect brought two people and said they are looking for you,” Su Qingyi said softly when he found Su Yu. Compared to two years ago, Su Qingyi’s appearance had changed significantly; he had matured.

In the past two years.

Whenever he had time, Su Qingyi would go out to hunt monsters. The number of monsters he hunted does not matter. But after these experiences, Su Qingyi’s demeanor had undergone a transformative change compared to before.

When compared to Su Qingyi’s talent for Qi Refinement, his talent for Alchemy was undeniably disastrous.

Even when Su Yu sometimes gave him private lessons, two years passed.

Su Qingyi had barely managed to become a low-level one Pill Master at the Pill Pavilion.

So even though Su Qingyi was about to break through to the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, his status in the Pill Pavilion was not as good as Su Yu’s. “Chen Sisi?” Su Yu remembered the young girl, who was a disciple of the Miss, he met when he hunted the mountain eagle, her demeanor resembled that of a cold mountain.

His memory was a bit vague, he had not seen her for over two years.

Why suddenly come to find him?

Su Yu was a little confused but didn’t act disrespectfully. He walked into the Pill Pavilion in the front courtyard with Su Qingyi and saw the somewhat changed Chen Sisi, and a young girl younger than her, and an old woman standing behind her.

When she saw Su Yu, Chen Sisi’s face showed a hint of a smile and said, “Taoist

Friend Su, I haven’t congratulated you on becoming a middle-grade one

Alchemist.’

Su Yu detected the breath of a sixth-stage Qi Refiner from Chen Sisi and laughed, “I’m still at the fourth stage of Qi Refinement, but Taoist Friend Chen has already achieved the sixth stage of Qi Refinement, you indeed are a disciple of the Yunjian Sect.”

The young girl frowned slightly and interrupted the two of them, “I heard there is a kind of medicine here that can stupefy late-stage first-class monsters?” “How much is it? I want a bottle.

Su Yu looked at the young girl, and Chen Sisi quickly introduced in a low voice,

“This is Yu Ke’er, the youngest legitimate daughter of the third branch of the Yu Family from the Heiyan Mountain.”

“She set her eyes on a late-stage first-class monster with a pretty good bloodline, and she wants to capture it alive and tame it. Therefore, she needs the Mind-Bewitching Liquid.”

“And recently, my family encountered some troubles and wishes to have some contact with the Yu Family…”

Chen Sisi bit her red lips, looked at Su Yu and plead in a low voice, “Brother Su, please help me. I am willing to owe you a big favor..”
