76: Chapter 77 New Changes

The female Cultivator standing before him was graceful and extremely beautiful.

Her nose was elegant, and her skin was fair and delicate, like frosted jade. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains shrouded in dark mist, and her eyes held the depth of autumn waters.

She wore a wide-sleeved gauze dress, with a light cyan silk belt cinched around her waist, accentuating her subtle curves.

A faint, delicate fragrance wafted toward him; it seemed she used high-quality rouge, exuding a unique charm.

"Alchemist Chen, there is no need to be so surprised. Please, follow me."

The female Cultivator's gaze was alluring, and her words were soft, making it impossible for anyone to refuse.

The private room was exquisitely decorated. The female Cultivator moved with a graceful, swaying figure, her jade-like hands moving continuously; before long, the faint aroma of spirit tea began to drift about.

Chen Fan did not know the background of this woman, but upon discovering that she was at the Foundation Establishment Level 3, his vigilance rose sharply.

"This little girl is a member of the Lv Family, named Lyu Yue. I did not expect my younger clan brothers to be so incompetent, all failing their Breakthroughs, while you, on the other hand, succeeded in Foundation Establishment."

After saying this, a flash of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.

Chen Fan wore an expression of disbelief on his face and said in surprise: "How is that possible? The Medicinal Pill consumed was exactly the same."

"Is that so? However, those two younger clan brothers of mine have always been fond of the way of Dual Cultivation. Their failure seems related to this technique, and as for that foundation establishment pill, the Family has already verified it; there are no issues with it."

Speaking of this, her gaze became alluring once more.

After hearing this, Chen Fan secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had indeed tampered with the foundation establishment pill, and unless one was proficient in ancient Alchemy techniques, it would be impossible to tell.

"I wonder what important matter Fellow Daoist Lyu has for seeking me out?"

"I have long known of your talent in the Dao of Alchemy. My Breakthrough is imminent, and I require you to refine a large quantity of Medicinal Pills."

As she spoke, she slowly handed over a Jade Slip and a Storage Pouch.

Chen Fan swept his Divine Sense over them slightly and discovered that what was inscribed on the Jade Slip was the method for refining Medium Grade ancient Tongyuan Pills; it did not seem to have a high level of difficulty.

He had many methods for refining this type of Medicinal Pill in his mind, and combined with the current Spiritual Plants and Spirit Medicine, he quickly formed a plan.

This type of Medicinal Pill was also extremely useful to him.

Although Lyu Yue spoke in a casual manner, she was secretly observing him. Discovering that there was no look of difficulty on his face, she immediately understood the situation.

"If it weren't for discovering that the foundation establishment pill you refined contained an ancient aura, I wouldn't have sought you out so proactively. You only need to raise the success rate of the Medicinal Pill to fifty percent."

After saying this, she gave no further indication.

Chen Fan frowned slightly. Although he could earn the price difference from this, if the other party did not offer other benefits, he certainly would not accept.

Just as he was about to speak, Lyu Yue took a sip of spirit tea and said unhurriedly: "If you can successfully refine them, that Spiritual Plant you were eyeing earlier will be yours."

"Good, it is a deal."

Chen Fan did not hesitate any longer and agreed directly.

"Very good. This type of Medicinal Pill is extremely difficult to refine. Come to this place in three months."

Lyu Yue's answer was extremely crisp, revealing her shrewdness in doing business at every turn.

Chen Fan bowed, put the Storage Pouch and Jade Slip into his pocket, and turned to leave.

Just as he had gone downstairs, he suddenly heard a sharp shout.

"Chen Fan, you have finally arrived."

Chen Fan frowned slightly and discovered that the person behind him was Third Young Master Lv Moran. It seemed that because his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough had failed, his aura was unstable, and his cultivation had already fallen to Qi Refining Level 10.

But even so, he still maintained an aloof and superior air, having long since lost his usual scholarly and refined appearance.

"So it is the Fourth Young Master. I wonder what important matter you have for seeking me out?"

Chen Fan wore an innocent expression and did not reveal the aura of his Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Naturally, it is to refine Medicinal Pills for this Young Lord. Since you have come today, do not think about leaving."

Lv Moran thought about how the person before him had been abducted by Lu Heng last time, and he made up his mind to make the other party his Alchemy slave, specifically to refine Medicinal Pills.

"Fourth Young Master, I am afraid that will not be possible this time."

"Why? Do you dare to disobey my orders?"

After saying this, he nodded slowly toward the Foundation Establishment elder behind him.

"At present, Young Miss Lyu Yue has entrusted me with an important matter. If you make things difficult like this, have you thought about how you will be held responsible?"

Once these words were spoken, the Foundation Establishment elder's expression faltered slightly, and his large hands were quickly withdrawn.

At this moment, a crisp voice came slowly from the second floor: "Alchemist Chen, time is limited, please complete the task as soon as possible."

"You..."

Lv Moran's expression changed drastically; his originally pale face became even paler.

Chen Fan smiled faintly, turned around, and left quickly.

Just as before, he took a turn around the marketplace, and after confirming that no Cultivator was following him, he headed toward the shop that operated the teleportation array.

Upon returning to the Qin Family, he immediately focused his energy on refining the Medium Grade ancient Tongyuan Pills.

If it were before, he would definitely have gone to the annex to engage in intimacy with his Family members, but at the moment, there was no need for that.

Because the System required it to be a female Cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Realm and the birth of a corresponding offspring.

However, before refining, he first circulated the Divine Sense secret technique he had obtained from Wang Yan within his body.

The other party's secret technique was incomplete; it had been obtained by chance from a Secret Realm and only had three levels. It seemed to be a Cultivation Technique from some Core Formation Senior.

Cultivating it was extremely difficult, but for Chen Fan, it was quite simple.

Before long, he had finished cultivating the first two levels. Combined with his original Divine Sense strength, the power of his Divine Sense gave people a feeling of being elusive and unpredictable.

His Divine Sense strength had increased significantly, which further boosted the success rate of refining Medicinal Pills.

The ancient Tongyuan Pills before him were not difficult to refine. As with before, he planned to only refine pills with four pill patterns for the Lv Family.

As for the ones he consumed himself, he spared no effort in increasing the number of pill patterns.

Two months passed quickly, and Chen Fan's complexion was pale, with a strange expression appearing on his face.

There were four portions of Medicinal Pills in front of him; the cultivation resources provided by Lyu Yue had been completely exhausted.

Apart from the first and second batches of Medicinal Pills, which had four pill patterns, the other two batches were both High Grade Medicinal Pills with seven pill patterns.

Chen Fan did not hesitate at all and swallowed them directly to refine.

As the Medicinal Pill entered his mouth, it immediately erupted with a surging fluctuation of spiritual power.

"It is indeed a good Medicinal Pill."

Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he focused all his energy on casting the incantation to refine it. In the following month, as the Medicinal Pill was refined, his cultivation also made significant progress.

On this day, just as he was preparing to head to the Lv Family, a familiar mechanical voice suddenly resounded in his mind.

[Ding, detected that the host has successfully birthed a Qi Refining offspring. Divine Sense strength increased by 1%.]

Chen Fan knew that it was Su Yan who had successfully given birth to an offspring, and he was overjoyed.

However, he also understood that birthing offspring with Qi Refining Cultivators at this moment would not bring much growth to his cultivation.

A day later, Chen Fan appeared in the courtyard where Su Ya resided. The courtyard was extremely quiet and elegant; Shen Yueyao also lived there with her.

"Husband." Both women bowed together, their faces full of respect.

Su Yan's eyes were filled with emotion; perhaps because she was a mother for the first time, she was extremely joyful while holding the child.

"There is no need to be so polite."

After carefully examining her, Chen Fan discovered that Su Ya's body was no longer in any serious trouble, and he decided to let her attempt the Foundation Establishment Breakthrough early.

At present, he was dealing with Cultivators of the Foundation Establishment Realm from the Lv Family. If he did not have sufficient strength, he would suffer a great loss.
