Inside Luoyun Temple, Zhou Fan and Shen Yufu were having a friendly conversation with the envoys from the Cultivation World.
These two envoys, one male and one female, had both reached the Foundation Establishment Stage Early Stage.
When they first arrived at Luoyun Temple in the Fan Realm, the two of them were initially a bit arrogant, disliking the thin Spiritual Qi of the Fan Realm.
But when Zhou Fan gifted each of them a bottle of second-tier Medicinal Pills, Origin Qi Pills, which he had refined himself, their attitude towards Zhou Fan instantly became much friendlier.
After all, the status of a second-tier Alchemist was inherently much more honorable than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, not to mention that Zhou Fan, currently only a Qi Training Stage Cultivator, could refine second-tier Medicinal Pills, meaning his future in Alchemy was immeasurable.
Both envoys from the Cultivation World wanted to form a good relationship with Zhou Fan, and Zhou Fan also wanted to build good relations with the people of Luoyun Temple in the Cultivation World, so both parties talked very happily, already addressing each other as “Senior Brother” and “Junior Brother.”
And just as everyone inside Luoyun Temple was enjoying themselves, an impolite voice transmission came from outside the temple.
“Is Shen Yufu inside the temple? I, Jiang Mei of the Jiang Family, have something to ask her.”
Upon hearing the condescending summons from the woman outside the temple, Shen Yufu did not get angry; she merely turned her gaze towards Zhou Fan.
After ten years of being together, Shen Yufu had long regarded her mischievous Junior Brother as her backbone.
Zhou Fan was also a bit confused upon hearing the shouts from the person outside the door; logically, his arrangements within the Jiang Family imperial family had no loopholes, and even his children without the Jiang Family Bloodline were scattered and living freely among the common people in various places.
And Mengxue, as an ancient exotic species, could now Breakthough to the Xiao Yao Realm at any time, and her method of secretly manipulating others' desires and turning them into Puppets could only be seen through by Old Ancestor-level figures at the Core Formation Stage.
Could it be that the Cultivation Jiang Family sent their Core Formation Stage Old Ancestor down this time?
Zhou Fan felt it was unlikely; he held Shen Yufu's hand and said to the two envoys, “Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Sister Wang, please wait a moment inside the temple; Yufu and I will be right back.”
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zhao looked displeased and said, “What are you saying, Junior Brother Zhou? We are all people of Luoyun Temple. How dare that fallen Jiang Family actively come to provoke us? How can I, your Senior Brother, stand by and do nothing?”
Senior Sister Wang also echoed, “Let’s go out together. The Cultivation Jiang Family only possesses a few Fan Realm Small Worlds, so every time the Immortal-Mortal Passage opens, they send down quite a few people.”
“Junior Brother Zhou, although you and Junior Sister Shen are both at the Qi Training Late Stage, which is the peak cultivation in the Fan Realm, that Jiang Family has many people. If the four of us go together, I expect the people of the Jiang Family will certainly not dare to be so arrogant.”
Upon hearing this, Zhou Fan immediately showed a grateful expression and said, “Then Junior Brother thanks both Senior Brother and Senior Sister here.”
“To be honest, the Alchemist Legacy I accidentally obtained earlier also includes the Pill Formula for the Building Foundation Pill. If Senior Brother and Senior Sister have relatives or friends who are about to Breakthrough to Foundation Establishment, I can offer my services once for free, guaranteeing the pill will be successfully refined; you just need to provide the Materials for one batch at that time.”
Upon hearing this, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Wang exchanged glances, both unable to suppress the joy in their hearts.
Although the Building Foundation Pill is not a necessity for a Cultivator's Breakthrough, if one can take a Building Foundation Pill before Breakthrough, even if the Breakthrough fails, it will not cause any damage to one's own essence, Qi, or spirit; one only needs to recuperate for a period of time to attempt the Breakthrough again.
However, without a Building Foundation Pill, if a Cultivator fails to Breakthrough, at best their Origin Qi will be severely damaged, and at worst their cultivation will regress, or they may even suffer Qi Deviation due to chaotic magical power within their body.
Today, the Spiritual Qi in the Cultivation World is becoming increasingly abundant, and various Secret Realms and ruins are emerging endlessly, presenting a scene of a prosperous Cultivation era.
With abundant resources, everyone is naturally more willing to use such life-saving Medicinal Pills when Breakingthrough. Moreover, the Building Foundation Pill can indeed increase the success rate of Foundation Establishment by 10% to 20%, so now the Building Foundation Pill has basically become a must-have Medicinal Pill for Breakthrough.
How could the two of them not be happy that Junior Brother Zhou said he could refine such an important Medicinal Pill?
After once again showcasing his talent and value, the two Foundation Establishment Stage high-level Cultivators became even more enthusiastic towards Zhou Fan, verbally guaranteeing that as long as Zhou Fan could Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage in the future, they would definitely recommend him to enter their own peak and become an Inner Sect Disciple.
The group chatted and laughed, slowly walking out of the temple.
Outside the temple, Jiang Mei was dressed in a red robe with a large bosom. Even though she was already impatiently waiting, her foxy face still revealed a hint of charm.
After Zhou Fan came out and met her gaze, he couldn't help but lose himself for a moment.
The reason for his distraction was naturally not that Jiang Mei was too beautiful, but the long-lost System prompt in his mind.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for discovering a female supporting character, a Son of Destiny, who ran to the Fan Realm alone!”
“According to this System's detection, after taking her down, the host can intercept 9000 Luck points!”
Nine years! It had been nine years since he found a new leek! Do you know how I spent these nine years?
Zhou Fan was excited; with the power of the Luck leek, he could finally vigorously improve again.
He quickly scanned the Jiang Family members who had arrived: three at Qi Training Late Stage, one at Qi Training Middle Stage, and an old woman whom he couldn't see through, but she didn't feel oppressive, so her cultivation was estimated to be at the Foundation Establishment Stage Early Stage.
Jiang Mei, standing not far away, sensed Zhou Fan's gaze, which seemed to be looking at a rare Treasure Trove. She thought Zhou Fan was lusting after her body, and a clear expression of disgust immediately appeared on her foxy face.
Seeing this, Zhou Fan was not annoyed; he just smiled and said, “I am Shen Yufu's Dao Companion. May I know why you, the Jiang Family, are looking for my Yufu?”
Li Laoyu, who was by Jiang Mei's side, was old and cunning, and instantly reacted, saying, “Shen Yufu is your Dao Companion, so was the former emperor, Jiang Wudao, killed by you?”
“That’s right, it was me.”
Zhou Fan admitted generously, “That Jiang Wudao dared to covet my Dao Companion; he deserved to die.”
“What? Do you all think what I did was wrong?”
Jiang Mei saw that this man's behavior was frivolous, and his words showed no regard for the Jiang Family, being even more arrogant than her. She directly stepped forward two steps and questioned him.
“Do you disgusting man want to die? Are you worthy of laying a hand on someone from my Jiang Family?”
“Even if he had moral failings, you are not worthy of using private punishment. The life and death of our Jiang Family members can only be decided by our Jiang Family members!”
Zhou Fan looked at Jiang Mei's rapidly beating heart, which was shaking with anger, and replied lightly.
“Oh, so you're saying your Jiang Family is very impressive.”
“But I killed him, and I even ground his bones to dust. What can you do about it?”
Seeing Zhou Fan's attitude, Jiang Mei felt like she was about to explode with anger. As a direct descendant of the Jiang Family, no one had ever dared to speak to her in such a tone since she was a child.
“Old Li, go! Kill this disgusting man for me! After you kill him, I will give each of you a Building Foundation Pill!”
Upon hearing this, Li Laoyu did not act rashly. Instead, Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Sister Wang, who were standing beside Zhou Fan, both took a step forward, their meaning self-evident.
Seeing this, Jiang Mei was almost fuming. She turned to look at the three foolish pigs standing behind her and issued another command.
“You three, go and kill that disgusting man for me! After you kill him, I will give each of you a Building Foundation Pill!”
