Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 85: Supreme Foundation Building Pill

Inside the quiet room, Li An stared unwaveringly at the pill furnace.

Gusongxi was equally solemn. This alchemy session required his full concentration and unity of body and mind. Even though he had rarely put in such effort in his alchemy career, perhaps due to exhaustion or nervousness, his hands, which were as old as tree bark, trembled slightly.

The lid of the furnace was gently lifted.

A dazzling burst of white light instantly appeared!

In that instant, the spiritual energy in the quiet room inexplicably surged towards the white light of the pill furnace.

At the same time, even the spiritual energy of the spirit stones Li An used to support the formation array was faintly absorbed by the white light.

The entire quiet room was filled with the fragrance of medicine, and the aroma of the pill fluctuated like strange clouds.

"This... is a supreme pill?!"

Gusongxi's face trembled, filled with unimaginable astonishment and excitement in his voice.

"It's actually a supreme pill..."

Even Li An couldn't help but be shocked. He had never seen this kind of pill with his own eyes in his previous life, only heard of it.

Supreme pills are extremely rare, and each one that is produced will autonomously absorb spiritual energy.

There are even legends that supreme pills of grade three or higher possess a vague consciousness from the moment of their birth. They will autonomously seek benefits and avoid harm, flying away as soon as they are produced to avoid being consumed by humans. If the opportunity is sufficient, these pills can even cultivate like humans and become "Immortals of Pill Spirits"!

Fortunately, the Foundation Building Pill is only a second-grade pill. Even if it reaches the supreme grade, it does not possess the legendary effects. Otherwise, Li An would probably be left dumbfounded as he watched the pill fly away.

However, even second-grade supreme pills will absorb a large amount of spiritual energy and eventually reach a perfect state.

The shock in Li An's heart only lasted for an instant before he reacted quickly. He swiftly threw out three thousand spirit stones, enclosing the pill furnace and causing a massive influx of spiritual energy into it.

It had to be done!

Once the spiritual energy in this room was absorbed, it would immediately affect other places. The fluctuations in spiritual energy caused by the supreme Foundation Building Pill would be immediately detected by others.

That would be troublesome.

"Hahaha... Supreme, supreme!"

Gusongxi stared at the pill furnace, his eyes filled with madness.

Supreme pills are the lifelong pursuit of all alchemists!

He could also be considered a genius in the field of alchemy, but he had never refined such a pill before.

In fact, he was able to refine it this time due to a fortunate coincidence.

He was seriously injured and his life was coming to an end. For many years, he had stopped refining pills and focused on self-cultivation. In these four years, he had been waiting and adjusting for the success of this Foundation Building Pill. The effort he put into this alchemy session far exceeded his usual standards!

In his entire life, he had never invested so much energy before.

That's why he was able to achieve the supreme grade.

Li An stepped forward and casually waved his hand. The white spiritual light emitted by the supreme pill when it was produced had already dissipated. In the pill furnace, there were three pills!

One of them was as white as sheep fat jade, crystal clear and translucent. There were even layers of mysterious patterns evolving on the surface of the pill.

It was indeed the supreme Foundation Building Pill!

The other two pills were pale yellow. Although their texture was gentle, they were only ordinary Foundation Building Pills. The surface of the second pill had cracks, indicating that it was of inferior quality.

Three pills were produced in this batch.

Li An stared at the supreme Foundation Building Pill, his spiritual consciousness and state of mind already stretched to the limit. His brain quickly started working.

According to his previous plan, after obtaining the Foundation Building Pill, he would immediately leave the city and find a place without people, such as the Moonlit Valley, to slowly break through.

But now, the appearance of the supreme Foundation Building Pill had disrupted his plan!

There were a total of eight layers of formation protection inside and outside this place, and he had even set up a simple Spirit Gathering Formation with three thousand spirit stones to conceal the existence of the supreme Foundation Building Pill.

If he left, the supreme Foundation Building Pill would be immediately discovered.

And the supreme Foundation Building Pill was too precious. Ordinary Foundation Building Pills could only increase the success rate by 40%, while the supreme Foundation Building Pill could increase it by 70%!

Moreover, the foundation after Foundation Building would far surpass that of ordinary people, allowing cultivators to cultivate their potential in the Foundation Building realm.

This kind of thing could already be considered a life-changing item to some extent.

Once exposed, Li An will definitely not be able to protect himself!

Even if a cultivator at the Foundation Building stage possesses this item, it is easy to attract fatal danger.

"I can only take the risk--"

Li An has already made up his mind.

Without waiting for this Foundation Building pill to continue absorbing spiritual energy, he has already grabbed it and put the other two pills into his storage bag. As for the top-grade Foundation Building pill, he directly swallowed it.

"You!"

Gusongxi was still immersed in the joy of refining the top-grade pill. Seeing Li An suddenly swallow the top-grade pill, his face couldn't help but change. He said anxiously, "Give me back the top-grade pill!"

In his haste, he even forgot that this pill furnace was prepared for Li An.

But Li An suddenly grabbed Gusongxi's throat, and his five fingers turned blue.

Gusongxi was caught off guard by Li An's sudden attack, and he was not strong in combat as a pill master. The poison on Li An's fingers, mixed with the aura of life, instantly entered Gusongxi's blood vessels, flowing throughout his body. Gusongxi's body stiffened, and he fell straight down.

Li An didn't kill him, but now he must control his ability to act.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, what happened? It seems that there was some fluctuation in spiritual energy just now?"

Outside the door, Gu Hong's voice had already come.

"Please protect me, Fellow Daoist Gu! I'm about to break through to the Foundation Building stage--"

Li An spoke directly. He had already felt the surging power of the top-grade Foundation Building pill dissolving in his body, and it was becoming difficult to suppress.

"Alright!"

Gu Hong's voice outside the door was both surprised and delighted.

Li An sat down, frantically operating the Life-Nurturing Immortal Technique, guiding the power of the top-grade Foundation Building pill to circulate throughout his body...

...

Until the next morning, Li An still hadn't completed the breakthrough.

Gu Hong calmly closed the door, hung up the sign saying "Temporarily Closed for Business," and stood motionless outside the quiet room.

In the blink of an eye.

The third day.

Late at night.

Boom!

In the White Tiger City, within the second-tier district, a large amount of spiritual energy suddenly surged towards a certain direction. The aura of the Great Dao fluctuated, and cultivators within dozens of miles all felt it.

"Someone is breaking through to the Foundation Building stage?!"

"Who is it?"

"For several years, there hasn't been a Foundation Building pill appearing in White Tiger City. Many Qi Refining stage cultivators have had their progress halted. Who has made a breakthrough this time?"

For a while, there was a lot of discussion from all sides, and many Qi Refining stage cultivators' eyes were filled with envy.

Foundation Building is like a barrier for Qi Refining stage cultivators. Those who can overcome it are all lucky ones.

Especially in recent years, due to the collection of soul-nourishing medicines such as Purple Soul Grass by White Tiger Mountain, there have been very few Foundation Building pills produced. Therefore, someone breaking through to the Foundation Building stage has attracted significant attention.

Many people directly headed towards the center of the spiritual energy disturbance.

"The Pill Shop?!"

"The Pill Shop is run by Gusongxi and Gu Hong. Both of them are already Foundation Building cultivators..."

"Did someone ask them to refine Foundation Building pills and break through here?"

Many people whispered to each other.

At the same time, a stunning woman arrived confidently. She held a sword in one hand, her eyes filled with contemplation.

She was the manager of this area, the 17th disciple of the White Tiger True Immortal, Xu Qiuhui.

Someone in her designated area was breaking through to the Foundation Building stage, so naturally she had to come and see.
