61: Chapter 62 Decision

Lv Moran wasn't annoyed; after all, he was a Junior of a Zifu Family. If he couldn't even tolerate such a small matter, how could he inherit the Family business and Legacy?

"Since that's the case, I won't force you. However, I have a desire to befriend you, Fellow Daoist. In the future, all cultivation resources in the shop will be discounted by 20%."

"Many thanks." Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he bowed again in gratitude.

"You are too polite. Let's settle the Medicinal Pill transaction first."

After some evaluation, he took out a Storage Pouch filled with Spirit Stones.

Chen Fan was secretly surprised to find that the number of Spirit Stones given by the other party was much higher than last time.

Just as he was preparing to leave the shop, the other party's voice came from behind: "I wonder if you, Fellow Daoist, can refine Medicinal Pills with eight patterns? Currently, this type of Medicinal Pill has a very high profit margin on the market. If you can refine them, we will purchase them at a high price."

Having said this, a warm smile appeared on his face.

Chen Fan had his heart set on establishing his own Cultivator Family, and he actually valued the opportunity to attach himself to a Zifu Family.

Moreover, after the previous probing, he discovered that the person before him was not a wicked person, so he decided not to hide it any longer and took out the Medicinal Pills he refined daily.

Lv Moran took a closer look, quite surprised. He looked at Chen Fan again carefully, and after confirming there was no mistake, he nodded repeatedly.

"Please, this way."

In another private room, Lv Moran opened a soundproof barrier and said with great joy: "I have ready-made Medicinal Pills and a Pill Formula here. I wonder if you can help me refine them?"

As he spoke, he handed over the Jade Slip containing the Pill Formula.

Chen Fan scanned it slightly and discovered it was for refining a Medicinal Pill called a cuihua pill, and the Pill Formula explicitly required the use of ancient Alchemy methods.

He immediately realized this was the real purpose of the other party seeking him out.

After looking at it carefully, he rubbed his smooth chin and said slowly: "This Pill Formula seems incomplete. It is missing three types of Spirit Medicine: xuanle grass, ningbi flower, and duanhun grass."

Lv Moran nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, even more certain that the other party was a true Alchemist with unfathomable strength.

After all, few Cultivators could identify such ancient Pill Formulas.

He said with a hint of respect: "It is indeed incomplete. This is also the thing that gives me the most headache. If you, Fellow Daoist, can refine it, there will definitely be a generous reward."

"It is certainly impossible to refine an authentic ancient cuihua pill, as the medicinal properties of the Spiritual Plants recorded on it have changed over the long passage of time."

"That makes sense. Is there really no other way?"

"There is one, but it requires blending modern Alchemy techniques with some Spiritual Plants. However, the success rate is extremely low. You, Fellow Daoist Lv, must be mentally prepared."

"Even if it is only ten percent, I hope you can do me a favor, Fellow Daoist. To be honest, if I hadn't damaged my Foundation in my early years, I would have already reached Foundation Establishment."

"Very well. If you trust me, Fellow Daoist, I will definitely be able to refine it successfully within half a year."

"It's a deal." Lv Moran was overjoyed.

However, he was still curious and asked for the other party's name.

"I am an Alchemist of the Qin Family of Dongfu Mountain. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist. Even if the refinement fails in the future, I will compensate for the loss of the Spiritual Plants."

"You are too polite, there is no need." Lv Moran waved his hands repeatedly.

Actually, this type of Medicinal Pill was also of great help to Chen Fan, so he had deliberately understated the success rate.

Next, he collected the corresponding Spiritual Plants at the trading firm.

Afterward, he painfully purchased a High Grade Magical Artifact called a xuantian awl in the shop. It was pitch black all over and extremely sharp, intended as a trump card for combat.

More importantly, after some bargaining, he also purchased a set of mountain-protecting formations.

Ever since the three major Foundation Establishment families of Dongfu Mountain had been attacking each other, Chen Fan understood the principle that opportunity must not be lost.

He had to seize a Qi Refining Spiritual Vein as soon as possible and establish a true Qi Refining Family.

Returning to the Qin Family, Chen Fan went directly to the Grand Elder's residence.

"Good son-in-law, you've arrived. Please sit."

Great Elder Qin Yuanshan was very enthusiastic and quickly asked his beloved daughter Qin Lingxi to brew Spirit Tea.

Before long, a faint fragrance soon drifted out.

"Clan brother, please." Qin Lingxi handed over the Spirit Tea with great elegance.

"Many thanks, Clan sister."

"It's been a while. Seeing your aura is profound, this old man is very gratified." Great Elder Qin Yuanshan thought of the situation when he recruited a Matrilocal son-in-law back then and felt deeply emotional.

Then he sighed slowly: "Not long ago, our Qin Family also recruited a batch of new Matrilocal son-in-laws, but unfortunately, the quality was average and they cannot compare to you."

"Someone like you who can not only produce offspring for the Family but also has achievements in the Dao of Alchemy can be described as rare as a Phoenix feather."

"Many thanks for the compliment, Grand Elder. This Junior just had good luck. Without the full support of the Qin Family, I would not be where I am today."

Chen Fan was extremely humble and did not dare to show any arrogance.

After some small talk, he still asked cautiously: "Grand Elder, this Junior wishes to establish a Qi Refining Family. Do you think it is feasible?"

The Grand Elder, who was originally tasting the Spirit Tea, almost spat it out upon hearing these words again.

"I was thinking that if it becomes a Qi Refining Family, it would still be affiliated with the Qin Family. As for refining Medicinal Pills, I would naturally prioritize providing them to the Qin Family."

Once these words were spoken, the living room was extremely quiet, without a sound.

Qin Lingxi was greatly shocked upon hearing this; she had not expected the other party to take such a risk.

Many Cultivators would rather attach themselves to a Foundation Establishment Family than risk seizing a Spiritual Vein. One must know that Spiritual Veins are scarce items; if you seize one today, you will be targeted by others tomorrow.

Great Elder Qin Yuanshan looked solemn. Letting this powerful Matrilocal son-in-law leave was clearly disadvantageous to the Qin Family.

But the other party had proposed it repeatedly; if he refused directly, it would only breed dissatisfaction.

After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "This matter still needs to be discussed at the Family meeting. You should go back and wait for news, worthy son-in-law!"

"This Junior understands."

After leaving this place, his heart was exceptionally determined.

Returning to the residence, he immediately discussed it with Lu Fushuang and Liu Rushuang. After all, one of these two was at Qi Refining Level 11, and the other was at Qi Refining Level 10. They had the highest Realm among all the wives and possessed unique combat skills.

"As long as husband has made up his mind, we two sisters are willing to seize the Spiritual Vein together with you." Lu Fushuang and Liu Rushuang's faces revealed a look of determination.

"Good."

"Regardless of whether the Qin Family agrees or not, we will first capture a Spiritual Vein."

Chen Fan had long set his target on the Xiang Family of Luoxia Mountain, who had always been half-hearted toward the Qin Family.

This Qi Refining Family was far from the Qin Family. During the great battle between the Qin Family and the Su Family, they had sat on the sidelines, protecting their own interests, and did not provide Medicinal Pills or Spiritual Plants to any Family.

This made the high-level members of the Qin Family extremely angry, and they had long wanted to find an opportunity to discipline them.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Chen Fan reckoned that the Family's resistance would be lower.

There was another important reason, which was that this Family only had eighty Qi Refining Cultivators, among whom only six were high-strength Late-stage Qi Refining Cultivators.

A few days later, Chen Fan, Lu Fushuang, and Liu Rushuang appeared not far from the Xiang Family.

Perhaps because the Family was weak, it was so shabby that there was no mountain-protecting formation on the outside.

In the meantime, there was only one team of Cultivators patrolling back and forth; it was obvious that the mountain-protecting Cultivators were understaffed.

Even so, Chen Fan did not blindly attack, but instead carefully observed with the help of a Concealment Talisman.
