Chapter 79: Blood Fiend Pill

Chapter 79: Blood Fiend Pill

On this piece of beast skin, a second-tier elixir called the "Blood Fiend Pill" was meticulously recorded.

According to the description, once the elixir is successfully refined and consumed, it can provide cultivators with a substantial amount of blood fiend energy.

This blood fiend energy, while not as pure as the spiritual energy refined by cultivators, can still enhance the cultivation of those who practice the Blood Path.

Luo Chen immediately thought of Xiao Wuyan, the Blood Path cultivator who was personally executed by Wang Yuan on the Daoist discussion platform.

"Blood Path elixir?" Luo Chen's eyelids twitched wildly.

Wang Yuan couldn't help but ask, "Can you refine it?"

Luo Chen was caught between laughter and tears. "Wang, you're overestimating me. This is a second-tier elixir. How could I possibly refine it? Moreover!"

He paused, his expression becoming very serious.

"This is a demonic elixir. If I were to refine it, I would die a gruesome death, and so would you."

The Jade Peak Sword Sect had strict regulations against demonic practices.

Or rather, in the entire Eastern Thirty-Six Realms, there were no demonic sects at all.

Even sects like the Bliss Sect, which straddled the line between good and evil, had to operate under the guise of the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, ensuring that their activities were consensual.

Just reading the ingredients listed on the beast skin made Luo Chen feel uneasy.

Cultivator's essence blood, Yellow Spring Yin energy, and a large quantity of Purple Lotus Placentas.

Each of these materials was far from the resources commonly used by righteous cultivators, clearly belonging to the realm of evil and demonic practices.

Forget refining the elixir; just collecting these main ingredients would result in being hunted down and killed by the Jade Peak Sword Sect cultivators.

Wang Yuan was aware of this situation and couldn't help but feel dejected.

He sighed, his face showing a look of reluctance.

"Unfortunately, if I had such an elixir, I could even attempt the Foundation Establishment stage without the Foundation Establishment Pill."

"Wait, what?"

Luo Chen looked at the man in front of him in surprise. "You can attempt the Foundation Establishment stage without the Foundation Establishment Pill?"

"Who told you that the Foundation Establishment stage requires the Foundation Establishment Pill?" Wang Yuan countered.

Luo Chen was momentarily stunned.

He carefully recalled the people and events he had encountered during his cultivation journey.

Cultivators with Heavenly Spirit Roots could break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without any bottlenecks and without needing the Foundation Establishment Pill.

There were also cultivators with Dual Spirit Roots who, with the help of other auxiliary elixirs, managed to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage by chance.

Not to mention, he knew someone who had attempted the Foundation Establishment stage without the Foundation Establishment Pill.

Fu Xiuxiu!

After the first group meal, Bai Meiling had mentioned Fu Xiuxiu's experience.

She had a Dao companion who was once a disciple of the Jade Peak Sword Sect but was demoted to the outer sect after failing to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, responsible for managing the sect's properties.

Later, he became disheartened and indulged in pleasures.

Fu Xiuxiu, perhaps out of concern for her Dao companion's decline or because she felt she had accumulated enough, tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage without relying on the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, she failed.

Despite the failure, her special constitution prevented severe backlash, and after years of recuperation, she had fully recovered.

This was why the Divine Talisman Pavilion valued her, promoting her to an executive position and even considering bringing her back to the sect.

Thinking about it this way, the Foundation Establishment Pill didn't seem to be a necessity?

Wang Yuan said calmly, "I didn't follow the traditional path of a Qi Cultivator but focused on physical cultivation. Although I also practice Qi cultivation techniques, if my body is strong enough, the quality of my blood and qi can change, allowing me to forcefully break through the Foundation Establishment stage."

"And this Blood Fiend Pill is undoubtedly a miraculous elixir that can bring about such a transformation in my blood and qi."

Miraculous elixir?

But at the cost of cultivator and even mortal lives!

The two fell silent.

Wang Yuan reached out, intending to take back the beast skin from Luo Chen.

Unexpectedly, the beast skin remained still, tightly held by Luo Chen.

"Hmm?"

Luo Chen looked up, his expression serious. "Brother, let me keep this elixir formula for now!"

"I'll try to replace the main ingredients and refine an elixir suitable for you."

Wang Yuan looked deeply at Luo Chen before withdrawing his hand.

"Then keep it with you."

Luo Chen carefully wrapped the beast skin and stored it in his waist storage bag.

As he was about to leave, he turned around and couldn't help but say one last thing.

"I don't know what other good things Brother got from Xiao Wuyan, but the Blood Path will never be accepted by the Jade Cauldron. Cultivating the body might not be suitable for longevity, but it's the righteous path. Brother, be careful!"

"Hmm."

Wang Yuan simply responded with a single "hmm," and it was unclear if he truly took it to heart.

On the way home, the group of four had now become just two.

Qin Liangchen had gone to the Slanting Moon Valley to help Murong Qinglian with some matters at the Alchemy Hall.

So, it was only Luo Chen and Gu Caiyi left.

A man and a woman walked down the bustling main road of the outer city.

The once muddy, dirt road had changed; it was now sprinkled with gravel and had become more solid under the constant foot traffic.

This transformation didn't happen overnight.

It had been gradually occurring since before the grand opening of the Dao Debate Platform.

The Jade Cauldron Sword Pavilion was slowly developing the outer city.

Better conditions meant more visiting cultivators would stay longer.

The more people, the more spirit stones the major sects could earn.

The outer city now had more people, but it was actually much safer than before.

The reputation of the Jade Cauldron Golden Core still held sway.

The Sword Pavilion no longer had only Miao Zhen as a Jade Cauldron Foundation Stage cultivator; another inner gate Foundation Stage cultivator had been added, specifically to manage the Dao Debate Platform.

Looking at the changed streets of the outer city, Luo Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of nostalgia.

The Great River Market was becoming increasingly prosperous, and the lives of cultivators were improving.

Of course, this was true for mid-to-late-stage cultivators; the lower-level Qi Condensation cultivators still struggled.

"Thanks, Luo Chen."

"For what? Even though you joined the Broken Mountain Gang, you earn much less than you did at Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion."

"That's not the point. Staying in that place for too long made me feel strange."

Gu Caiyi's gaze wandered, and a genuine smile graced her face.

During her time off, her schedule had become more regular, and her social life was no longer as chaotic as before.

"Besides, with you leading the Alchemy Hall, it will definitely develop better in the future."

Luo Chen smiled. "You have so much faith in me?"

Gu Caiyi tilted her head, staring at Luo Chen's handsome profile.

"Brother Qin told me you get a share of the Alchemy Hall's profits. Don't you want to earn more?"

Luo Chen smiled again but didn't continue the topic.

The amount he received from the Alchemy Hall was decided by people like Uncle Mi of the Broken Mountain Gang.

But how much the Alchemy Hall earned was up to him.

And in this process, he would never let himself lose out.

He had never seen a chef at a restaurant who starved himself!

"Let's go home. I heard Sister Xiuxiu is cooking tonight and inviting us for a farewell meal."

Mentioning Fu Xiuxiu, Gu Caiyi paused.

As a woman, Fu Xiuxiu seemed to always be on the right path. A disciple's partner from a prestigious sect, an executive of one of the six major sects, she had even attempted to reach the Foundation Stage. Now, she was about to travel far away to become a disciple of the Divine Talisman Sect.

Compared to her, Gu Caiyi felt she was still struggling and wasting time in the Great River Market.

It was impossible not to feel a bit envious.

But to say she was jealous would be too much.

Fu Xiuxiu had a harder life than her but lived with greater resilience.

And what was wrong with struggling in the Great River Market?

Wasn't the optimistic little man by her side facing everything with a positive attitude?

She smiled softly, her beautiful face showing two shallow dimples.

"Let's buy some cucumbers on the way home!"

"Cucumbers?"

"Every year during this season, the Spirit Source Pavilion sells a type of spiritual fruit. It's somewhere between a fruit and a vegetable, and it tastes great!"

"Sure! But you pay, okay."

"Cheapskate, I'll buy them!"
