The Opening of the Ruins Has Nothing to Do with Me (1)
A few days later.
Alchemy chamber.
Bam!
The Amethyst Furnace suddenly exploded, emitting a large amount of black smoke.
“Cough, cough, cough…”
“Bad luck, I failed again!”
Ye Xuan wiped his pitch-black face and cursed.
Although he was a Grade-2 intermediate alchemist now, the failure rate of refining difficult pills like the Foundation Establishment Pills was not low.
It was only by reaching Grade-2 advanced level that the success rate could be guaranteed.
The only good news was…
Ever since he began cultivating the Deity Visualization technique, he could clearly feel the increase in the power of his soul.
In the past, he could only refine Grade-2 pills once a day, and no matter if he succeeded or failed, his mental strength would be exhausted. It would be very difficult for him to refine a second time.
And now, he was able to refine at least five times in a day!
Although the success rate of the Foundation Establishment Pills was low, there was still a one-fifth success rate, which was already considered very good.
After all, the cost of the Foundation Establishment Pills was only about 100 spirit stones, but the selling price was as high as 2,000 spirit stones. Moreover, it was the trashiest kind. If the quality was slightly higher, it could be sold for an astronomical price.
Any one of them would earn him a profit of nearly 2,000 spirit stones, which was 20 million gold coins. This was enough to cover the expenses of everyone in the Ye Family for decades!
This was also one of the reasons why the Ye Family was growing so rapidly.
He now had more than 20 Foundation Establishment Pills.
However, before he built his foundation, Ye Xuan still did not dare to openly sell the Foundation Establishment Pills.
In the entire Ten Thousand Flower City, there were only four Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators in the open. They were the patriarchs of the three major immortal-cultivation family clans and the leader of the law enforcement team.
However, there might be one or two hidden in the dark. If others knew that he could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, there would definitely be a lot of trouble.
Moreover, if the Foundation Establishment Pills were sold, and someone in the Ten Thousand Flower City succeeded in building their foundation, it would be equivalent to adding a hint of danger to himself.
Therefore, Ye Xuan planned to provide the Foundation Establishment Pills to the Ten Thousand Flower Sect first to help the sect nurture more Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators.
The stronger the Ten Thousand Flower Sect was, the safer he would be.
Moreover, when entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, the success rate of him taking in concubines from the Ten Thousand Flower Sect would be higher.
“I’ve already written to Senior Sister. She should be here in a few days.”
“I wonder if Senior Sister is busy…”
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and looked forward to it.
When he reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would no longer need to be so timid. He could further expand his family and take in concubines. He would no longer be bound to just the Ten Thousand Flower City or the Ten Thousand Flower Sect. At that time, his cultivation speed would probably increase exponentially.
…
A month later.
Ye Xuan did not receive any news from Xia Yuning, but he got a shocking news—a mystic realm had appeared 30 kilometers away from Ten Thousand Flower City!!
The appearance of the mystic realm represented countless opportunities!
Moreover, it was said that this mystic realm was a medium-grade mystic realm and could accommodate cultivators at Level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Realm at most!
Level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Realm was a watershed. If one crossed it, the sky was the limit. If one failed to cross it, one might stay at this level for the rest of one’s life.
Ye Xuan remembered that his Eldest Senior Sister had been stuck at Level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Realm for 10 years. Later on, Gu Qingyao had paid a huge price to trade for an extremely precious spiritual herb from somewhere, which allowed his Eldest Senior Sister to reach Level 8 of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
After crossing Level 7 of the Foundation Establishment Realm, his Eldest Senior Sister reached the full level of the Foundation Establishment Stage in just five years. Now, she should be traveling in the outside world in search of a great opportunity to break through to the Golden Core Realm.
…
…
“The mystic realm has appeared. I believe Senior Sister won’t let go of this opportunity…”
Ye Xuan immediately had some expectations.
The appearance of the mystic realm this time would definitely attract the joint exploration of the four major sects.
The four major sects of the Thousand Moon Country were the Ten Thousand Flower Sect, the Green Cloud Sect, the Thousand Swords Sect, and the Profound Yang Sect. These four major sects all had top-notch Golden Core Realm cultivators overseeing them, and there was more than one!
In addition, there were also many medium-size sects. Basically, they had only one elementary Golden Core Realm big shot in the sect, but they were already very powerful.
For small sects, the strongest was at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
In the Thousand Moon Country, Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were actually already very powerful, and they did not make a large percentage.
In Ten Thousand Flower City, the strongest cultivators of the three major immortal-cultivation family clans were only at Level 1 or Level 2 of the Foundation Establishment Realm. This showed how rare Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were.
The same was true for the other three major sects. Every Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator was an extremely precious treasure of the sect.
However, with the sudden appearance of the mystic realm this time, a large number of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators would probably gather.
The four great sects had their own areas of jurisdiction. This time, the mystic realm had appeared around the Ten Thousand Flower City.
Although the mystic realm did not belong to anyone, any other cultivator entering this area would actually have to report to the Ten Thousand Flower Sect.
…
Sure enough, on the second day after Ye Xuan received the news, a large number of cultivators appeared in the city.
However, this was only a portion. Most cultivators had already gone to the mystic realm to wait.
On the third day.
Ye Xuan saw Xia Yuning.
“Senior Sister, long time no see. You’ve become prettier again!”
Ye Xuan treated Xia Yuning very warmly and quickly greeted her with a smile.
“Stop fooling around. I’m here to discuss serious matters with you.” Xia Yuning rolled her eyes helplessly before asking, “Your cultivation level has already reached Level 8 of the Qi Refinement Stage. Master wants you to follow me into the mystic realm to find opportunities. What do you think?”
“Go into the mystic realm??”
“No, no!”
“I’m too weak. The mystic realm is too dangerous and not suitable for me.”
Hearing this, Ye Xuan shook his head like a rattle drum and quickly refused.
What a joke. He could become stronger just by lying down. Only a fool would enter the mystic realm and fight to the death.
