Yunmeng Immortal Clan

The Earth Fire Alchemy Room in Yunmeng Market is located at the junction of the outer and central areas. It is called the Cloud Flame Alchemy Room, but it is said that there are very few alchemists who practice alchemy in this room.

After all, most second-tier alchemists in the cultivation world are Foundation Establishment cultivators. Once their cultivation reaches the Foundation Establishment stage, they can condense true fire to refine pills on their own. There is really no need to borrow an alchemy room and forcibly incur such an extra expense.

Without hesitation, Song Daoxuan headed straight for Yunyan's alchemy room and entered through the door.

Song Daoxuan caught a glimpse of an old man with a goatee, whose cultivation level was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Song Daoxuan concealed his cultivation level using the Turtle Breathing Technique. The old man in front of him observed for a long time but still couldn't discern any clues, simply assuming that Song Daoxuan was just a minor cultivator at the fourth level of Qi Refining.

The old man with the goatee frowned when he saw Song Daoxuan arrive.

"Renting the Earth Fire Alchemy Refining Room: One low-grade spirit stone per day!"

"Rent it for three months first!" Song Daoxuan didn't waste any words with the old man with the goatee. Instead, he took out a spirit stone bag from his storage bag and tossed it to the old man.

The old man with the goatee took the bag of spirit stones, scanned it with his divine sense, and his expression turned astonished.

He immediately dropped his impatient expression and became even more respectful: "Alright! This way, sir. Here is your room number and token for the Earth Fire Alchemy Room."

After putting everything away, Song Daoxuan, dressed in a green robe, disappeared into one of the Cloud Flame Alchemy Chambers.

Upon arriving at the alchemy room, he discovered that it had its own dedicated earth fire alchemy furnace. This large furnace was incredibly sturdy and could even refine third-tier pills.

The alchemy furnace is shaped like a Bagua (Eight Trigrams).

Qian, Kun, Zhen, Xun, Kan, Li, Gen, Dui.

Each direction represents a different flame temperature, even whether it's a gentle or intense flame.

Once the temperature of the flame manipulated by the alchemist reaches a certain level, the furnace will light up automatically, making it easier for the alchemist to refine pills.

However, these novel designs are not very effective for alchemists with low alchemy skills; they simply cannot improve the success rate of pill making. For alchemists with high alchemy skills, they are somewhat useless.

Song Daoxuan took out the Foundation Establishment Pill formula and arranged all the medicinal materials needed for refining the pill according to the formula.

Then, following the steps, using the properties of various medicinal herbs and the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, he used his divine sense to wrap each herb and move it into the alchemy furnace.

The alchemy furnace inside the alchemy room automatically connects with the earth fire to refine pills, saving the alchemist the step of condensing flames. However, it requires the alchemist to focus on controlling the mechanisms, which can greatly limit the alchemy skills of some alchemists who are not familiar with these mechanisms.

However, for a clever person like Song Daoxuan who had lived two lives, the mechanism was nothing more than a trivial matter. He grasped the key to it with just a glance at the alchemy furnace.

Inside the alchemy room, flames soared into the sky, illuminating the dim room as if it were broad daylight.

Time flies by.

The dozen or so Xuanbing Flowers were rapidly depleted, with only nine remaining.

The aroma of elixirs immediately wafted from the alchemy furnace.

Song Daoxuan was overjoyed and took out three Foundation Establishment Pills. Although these three Foundation Establishment Pills were of the Green grade, they were the first batch of Foundation Establishment Pills that Song Daoxuan had refined.

If cultivators outside had witnessed this scene, they would have been terrified. The Xuanbing Flower is an extremely rare spiritual herb, and even if they obtained it, they would carefully refine it to ensure success.

However, for Song Daoxuan, as long as he could refine three batches of the dozen or so Xuanbing Flowers, the massive amount of Xuanbing Flowers consumed was nothing to regret.

Song Daoxuan first cleaned the alchemy furnace, and then continued to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, a second-tier pill.

As all the Mystic Ice Flowers were consumed.

When Song Daoxuan had eight batches of Xuanbing Flower left, he refined the second batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.

Then, when only the last two Xuanbing Flowers remained, Song Daoxuan managed to refine the third batch of Foundation Establishment Pills with great difficulty.

Song Daoxuan's success rate in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill was pitifully low. The reason was that before refining this batch of Foundation Establishment Pills, he was only a top-tier first-level alchemist. However, after he refined these three batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, Song Daoxuan could be considered a beginner second-level alchemist.

If it were any other second-tier alchemist with a dozen or so Xuanbing Flowers at their disposal, their success rate might be even higher than Song Daoxuan's.

However, Song Daoxuan had nothing to regret. He only regretted the three batches of Foundation Establishment Pills, a total of nine Foundation Establishment Pills, all of which were of the Green Grade quality.

However, at that moment, the bell in the alchemy room rang, a reminder that the time for renting the alchemy room had come.

The voice of the old man with the goatee outside the alchemy room came through: "Esteemed guest, three months have passed. Are you preparing to leave, or will you continue refining pills?"

Song Daoxuan slowly walked to the door and handed the old man another bag of spirit stones through the crack in the door.

"The time in the Earth Fire Alchemy Chamber will be extended by four months."

The old man outside the alchemy room was taken aback, but still took the bag of spirit stones and slowly walked away from the place.

"Over the next four months, I need to replenish the spiritual energy depleted in my body from refining pills. Only when all my conditions are at their peak can I plan to establish my foundation!"

"Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment are the watershed moments in the path of cultivation. Qi Refining is the minor cultivation stage, Foundation Establishment is the immortal cultivation stage, Core Formation is the true cultivation stage, and Nascent Soul is the true cultivation stage. It can be said that only when one reaches the Foundation Establishment stage can one truly be called an immortal!"

"The limit of a Qi Refining cultivator's spiritual sense is twenty feet. As a second-generation cultivator, my spiritual sense is stronger than that of a typical Qi Refining cultivator at the Great Perfection stage, conservatively reaching a range of thirty feet. However, once I establish my foundation, it's hard to imagine just how vast my spiritual sense will become!"

As for Qi Refining cultivators, they merely guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into their limbs and bones to enhance their physique.

Foundation Establishment cultivators, however, further refine spiritual energy into powerful spiritual force.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator possesses more than ten times the strength of a Qi Refining cultivator's magical power, and their magical power recovery speed is also far superior. What's even more terrifying is that their body and spirit are in harmony, making it incredibly easy for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to continuously control more magical artifacts and spiritual weapons to defend against enemies.

Even though all the preparations for Foundation Establishment were complete, Song Daoxuan was still a little nervous when the time came. Even with nine Foundation Establishment Pills as a safety net, Song Daoxuan was still afraid that he would fail to establish his foundation.

Inside the alchemy room, Song Daoxuan sat cross-legged and swallowed a Qing-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

Then immediately, I felt as if my limbs and bones were about to expand and burst open.

Cultivating immortality transcends age. Song Daoxuan didn't know how long he persisted. Just as he was about to faint, he swallowed the second Foundation Establishment Pill, and his expression eased a little.
