"Such miraculous pills, I wish I could see them!"
Fang Qing calculated how many Water Essence Pills he had spent to cultivate to the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage, and immediately felt a sense of longing.
"Haha—it is said that the Bihai Ancestor came here in search of information about a secret realm. After searching everywhere without success, he established his sect on Biyu Island."
Elder Tianding said, "According to our sect's records, our patriarch discovered clues to a secret realm in his later years, and never returned—"
So you mean... he might die in the secret realm?
Fang Qing had some guesses in his mind.
"Originally, the disciples of the founder thought that the founder had perished in the secret realm—but many years later, there were Core Formation forces such as Tianxin Linked Island and Zhong family—although their inheritance should also come from the East Sea, it cannot be ruled out that they obtained Core Formation relics."
Elder Tianding said.
"So—our sect suspects that these two Core Formation factions possess clues to a secret realm?"
Fang Qing blinked, realizing the deeper reason why the Bihai Sect was determined to destroy Tianxin Linked Island and the Zhong family.
"That's right—even though these two Core Formation forces didn't obtain their ancestral relics, over the years, our Azure Sea Sect has practically turned the entire Lesser Universe Sea cultivation world upside down, but we haven't found the slightest clue about the secret realm—"
Elder Tianding sighed, "Therefore, this secret realm may be located in the very foundation of these two major forces—a place that we were unable to explore before."
"This inference is quite reasonable."
Fang Qing stroked his chin: "If there is a leak of spiritual energy in the location of the secret realm—the possibility of forming a high-level spiritual vein is very high."
"That's right, that's exactly the point!"
Elder Tianding stroked his beard and said, "Our sect has already arranged for core disciples to investigate, and we should have news soon—"
Xuanbi Cave.
"Is there possibly an entrance to a secret realm near Tianxin Island and Taibai Island?"
Fang Qing toyed with a second-tier precious herb he had obtained from the Pill Hall using Elder Tianding's token, a thoughtful expression on his face: "No wonder they couldn't wait to send people to guard it right after the war ended—and they even treated mages very well."
"Speaking of which, the Azure Sea Sect is quite patient—they annihilated two major Core Formation forces before they even began searching for the secret realm."
"Otherwise, it might end up being a situation where all three parties jointly develop the secret realm—which is much more satisfying than having one party monopolize it?"
-
"Very well, now that we have all the medicinal herbs, we can start by refining the Lesser Barrier-Breaking Pill."
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill? This pill is ranked as a second-tier high-grade pill, and it is quite difficult to obtain.
Moreover, Fang Qing hasn't fully digested the alchemy teachings from the ancient Shu region yet, so there's no need to rush.
"In addition—the true qi required for the Heavenly Escape Sword Technique must be carefully collected by Qin Ruxue—"
He now feels more and more that it was the right decision to take in a concubine.
Even now, it seems a little insufficient.
After all, Qin Ruxue is also very busy.
"Should we start looking for a second Mingfei? Or perhaps Mingzi would also be suitable—"
"But no matter what, I will not consider the two sisters, Gong Susu and Gong Su-su—"
Inside the alchemy room.
Fang Qing formed hand seals, channeling streams of magical power into the second-tier cold spring.
Glug glug!
-
The cold spring kept emitting cold air, and the originally blue-green spring water gradually turned a little red.
"This Water and Fire Elixir Technique is indeed exquisite—after refining it with the Crimson Sun Spirit Water," this spring has temporarily advanced to the middle grade of the second rank, no less than the "Dual Spring of Cold and Hot" on the Elixir Island—"
Looking at the cold and hot spring waters converging in the yin and yang of the cold spring, forming the shape of Tai Chi, Fang Qing nodded in satisfaction.
This Water and Fire Elixir Manual was a gift from the former owner of the cave, a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Xiang Shaocen. It can temporarily upgrade a second-grade low-level spiritual spring to a second-grade mid-level, which is very beneficial for alchemy.
After all, the Lesser Barrier-Breaking Pill that Fang Qing is about to refine is a mid-grade second-tier pill, and using a mid-grade second-tier spirit pool to refine it is a perfect match.
It's even enough to make a Foundation Establishment Pill.
The Foundation Establishment Pill is ranked as a second-tier superior grade, and its key is that it is too rare. Its refinement at Cold Spring Peak is quite extraordinary.
While using a second-tier low-grade spirit pool is not impossible, the quality of the spring water will undoubtedly lower the success rate.
In fact, even a mid-grade second-tier spirit pool is slightly insufficient, but it is barely within the tolerable range.
"I can be considered to have benefited from the legacy of my predecessors, so I still want to express my gratitude—"
Fang Qing, realizing that this matter had been handed over to Qin Ruxue, immediately stopped thinking about it and took out a Purple Qi Flower, a second-tier precious herb.
This flower is as large as a bowl, and its entire body radiates a dazzling purple halo, clearly indicating that it is a rare and precious medicinal plant.
"This main material is best tempered in a hot spring—and then in a cold spring for three days—only through three cycles of hot and cold can it be perfected."
Fang Qing had already pondered the formula for the "Minor Barrier-Breaking Pill" more than once, and had even specially calculated an auspicious day for opening the pool. Without hesitation, he threw it into the spring water. Waves of heat swept in, extracting the purple aura flower into liquid—
Fang Qing's divine sense instantly spread out, carefully observing the various changes in the medicinal properties to assist in the alchemy process.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
"This kind of breakthrough pill is not only difficult to refine, but also takes even longer—no wonder it's more expensive, or rather—it's priceless."
""
He silently gazed at the bottom of the spirit pool, and with his divine sense, he saw that there were already two faint outlines of pills there, which were the semi-finished Small Barrier Breaking Pills!
By this point, the method of refining elixirs using water had been considered a success.
"The reason I succeeded on my first attempt is probably because my alchemy skills were already quite good, and they improved even more after I reached the Foundation Establishment stage. I was quite confident in refining mid-grade second-tier pills. I also spent nearly ten years refining pills on Little White Island. Although I didn't refine the Minor Barrier-Breaking Pill, the Water Element Pill was also a mid-grade second-tier pill, which gave me a good understanding of the process."
"I even have a faint feeling that my alchemy skills have already reached the second-tier high-grade level—even if I fail two or three times in refining Foundation Establishment Pills, I'm confident I can succeed!"
At this moment, Fang Qing continued to observe and saw that on the two purple pill embryos, one had two silver pill patterns, while the other only had one and a half pill patterns.
"One pill was of excellent quality, and one was of inferior quality—"
"Although I made no major mistakes when I refined them, there were still some subtle oversights in the details, which caused the toxicity of these two pills to be slightly excessive. If you want to take them, it is best to nurture them with water for a year or two."
"If the pool can be sealed for more than ten years in one go, this inferior product can probably be upgraded to a genuine product."

Fang Qing nodded and then shook his head. He simply didn't have that much free time; he could only wait a year at most.
As for the remaining inferior Lesser Barrier-Breaking Pill?
If it were released, countless early Foundation Establishment cultivators would be envious.
"There's no rush—second-tier pills are inherently more potent and less prone to evaporation, allowing them to be preserved for a long time—if combined with a specific warming jade bottle and sealing talisman—maintaining their potency for over a hundred years shouldn't be a problem. They can definitely be kept as a valuable reserve, or perhaps prepared for Qin Ruxue."
Even inferior versions of the Lesser Breakthrough Pill can still help break through bottlenecks, but they may contain excessive toxins and have other negative effects. Even if a cultivator breaks through, they will need to meditate for several years to strengthen their foundation and expel the toxins.
But compared to breaking through the bottleneck, these are nothing.
Six months later.
Qin Ruxue used the excuse of returning to her sect to report on her mission, then turned back to Bihai Sect and arrived at Xuanbi Cave.
"Young Master—this is the Qi of the Long Whale and the Bright Moon!"
After exchanging heartfelt words, Qin Ruxue handed a jade bottle to Fang Qing: "This gathering is easy, but the other true essence that you need requires you to find a battlefield of mortals, which is a bit troublesome—I have already ordered people to search for the ruins of an ancient battlefield, hoping to find something."
"Oh? No rush—"
Fang Qing offered a few words of comfort and accepted the "Long Whale and Bright Moon" calligraphy. The words were as deep as the sea and subtly conveyed the imagery of a whale singing under the bright moon, making it quite extraordinary.
After all, it is a seventh-order True One, and the user has a chance to reach the Purple Mansion stage. In fact, when the user takes it to the Qi or Dao Foundation stage, their magical power will be stronger than that of those low-order True One cultivators.
As for the other true path, it is naturally required for cultivating the "Heavenly Escape Sword Technique," and it is also ranked in the seventh rank.
【Lou Jin】, also known as 【Military Jin】 or 【Weapon Jin】, is the true form of Jin—it requires a battlefield environment—in this respect, Xiao Huanhai doesn't really have the conditions, but in the ancient Shu lands, where war and calamity are intertwined, it's much easier to gather Qi—”
Fang Qing's heart stirred, and he smiled, "This matter is not urgent, just remember it. But what about you, stationed on Taibai Island? Have you made any discoveries?"
, 7
He had naturally already told Qin Ruxue about Bihai Zhenren and the secret realm.
Compared to the sect, Fang Qing naturally trusted his own Mingfei more.
"I had some doubts at first, but according to you, young master—the sect is indeed investigating Taibai Island, but I haven't found any clues about the secret realm—"
Qin Ruxue said, "Either the secret realm is extremely well hidden, or it's over on Tianxin Island—"
"If this secret realm wasn't well hidden, how could True Immortal Bihai have searched for it for most of his life—and how could it not have been discovered by those two major Core Formation forces?"
Fang Qing, on the other hand, had a very good attitude: "Just keep an eye on things—anyway, if you discover any clues, there will definitely be restrictions protecting the entrance to the secret realm, and you array masters will be there to help."
To be honest, he still has some lingering trauma from the previous incident at Yanbo Fudi.
Even if they knew that this secret realm was within easy reach, they might not necessarily put in much effort.
After Qin Ruxue left, Fang Qing took some time to check on the situation in Gu Shu.
Xu Hei narrowly escaped disaster and continued to acquire spiritual items related to the "Ji Shui" (a type of water system), but unfortunately, he gained nothing.
"waste!"
Fang Qing cursed and then sighed, knowing that the social classes in ancient Shu were too distinct.
Such spiritual treasures are unlikely to even be seen by a cultivator who has mastered the Qi.
They are often taken away by Dao Foundation or Purple Mansion forces as soon as they appear and hidden away. Without exchanging with a cultivator of the same level, it is virtually impossible to retrieve them.
"After all, it's still a place lacking in resources—not as good as Jade Island."
He let out a long sigh and went into the alchemy room.
With a wave of his hand, a genuine Lesser Barrier-Breaking Pill, radiating purple energy and bearing two silver pill patterns on its surface, appeared in his hand.
"Since things have come to this, let's focus on breaking through to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage first."
