Chapter 997: Chapter 125 Foundation Establishment_5

Zhao Yu felt another reason for caring so much about Liu Wenxuan was that the energy Liu Wenxuan provided was substantial, mainly because her level was only at the Qi Cultivation Stage. If she could reach the Foundation Establishment Stage, Zhao Yu believed the energy obtained could double.

With ample energy as his trump card, Zhao Yu feared neither the arrival of challengers nor the absence of cowards, nor was he afraid of Elder Sun’s tricks.

“Speak up!”

“The condition is simple; in this lifetime…”

Elder Sun hesitated, then complicatedly added, “In this lifetime, I desire nothing else but hope my daughter can advance to the Foundation Establishment Stage…”

“Poor daughter of mine, born with a hidden illness, she needs specific medicinal pills to sustain her life…”

“And now that my own life is drawing to a close, I hope you will continue to produce medicinal pills to keep her alive after I’m gone…”

“Produce pills to keep her alive?!”

Zhao Yu was puzzled, as he had seen Sun Lele looking radiant and healthy, not appearing sick at all.

“What grade of medicinal pills?!” He didn’t think much further and went on to inquire about the quality of the medicinal pills.

“Not high, just second-tier Low-Cla.s.s quality…”

Elder Sun hurriedly said, “If you agree, I can take you as an apprentice. Besides, the Pill Furnace and several talisman recipes I have collected could all be handed over to you…”

As he spoke, he pulled out several talisman recipes from his storage bag.

Zhao Yu glanced at them and instantly felt energized.

Among these several recipes, there were two for second-tier Upper Rank and three for second-tier Medium-grade.

The higher the grade of medicinal pills and magical artifacts, the higher their value.

A second-tier Upper Rank medicinal pill, if successfully produced, would be more than enough to buy a Tranquility Pill.

However, Zhao Yu, being cautious, did not immediately agree, but rather requested to see the medicinal recipe for healing.

If the recipe was highly valuable and required many expensive ingredients, it would be difficult for him to continue in the long run.

“Here you go!”

Elder Sun, without any stinginess, immediately took out the recipe and handed it to Zhao Yu.

Zhao Yu examined the recipe, finding that the ingredients were not too expensive, with the overall cost being average for a second-tier Low-Cla.s.s medicinal pill.

From the characteristics of the ingredients, it seemed the recipe was indeed intended to treat a specific disease.

“Nevertheless, I can’t treat your daughter for a lifetime, can I?!” Having some interest, Zhao Yu began to negotiate the price.

“Of course not!”

Elder Sun thought for a moment and said, “Just ten years… no, five years. Just keep her alive for five years, and then you won’t have to worry about her after that…”

“Five years?!”

Zhao Yu looked at him skeptically, feeling a trace of doubt.

“That’s right, the hidden illness of my daughter will recede once she reaches the Foundation Establishment Stage, and she will break through to that stage in less than five years…”

“If that’s the case, why can’t you produce the pills during these five years?” Zhao Yu was still very puzzled.

“This old one knows his own affairs best; let alone five years…”

Elder Sun sighed, “I might not even last three years!”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu found it to be somewhat more reasonable, yet Elder Sun still looked very strange.

“Then, shall we draw up an agreement?” Zhao Yu casually suggested as a test.

“Of course!” Elder Sun nodded in agreement, immediately producing an agreement.

After it was drafted, Zhao Yu read it over several times and found no issues.

This left him somewhat disappointed, feeling he had been overly worried, yet he also felt as if he had encountered some hidden danger.

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Yu a.n.a.lyzed the pros and cons and finally signed the agreement.

“Good! Good! Good!”

Sun Fan expressed great joy, exclaiming ‘good’ three times, then quickly presented Zhao Yu with a book.

“This is an introductory guide to Alchemy, discussing the fundamentals of alchemy, including the pharmacology of ingredients, etc…”

“Take it and read at home. Next time you come for lessons, I’ll teach you more…”

Elder Sun hurriedly instructed, “I don’t want my impending death to upset Le Le, so every time you come to learn about medicinal pills, make sure they’ve left before you arrive…”

“Also, there’s no need to tell others that you are learning alchemy from me, understand?!”

These requests were nothing major, and Zhao Yu nodded in agreement right away.

“Alright, alright, alright, see the time, they will be back soon, you better head back now!”

Back soon?!

Zhao Yu was puzzled; during his stay here, Mrs. Sun and Sun Lele had very regular timing, always leaving for two hours before returning.

It wasn’t even half an hour yet, so why the hurry?

However, Zhao Yu guessed that perhaps Elder Sun had arranged to return early today, hence the rush. He didn’t dawdle further and, with the medicinal theory books in hand, quickly left.

Back in his own room, Zhao Yu still felt something was off.

“Zhao Yu, did it succeed?!” Naturally, Liu Wenxuan knew why Zhao Yu had gone to Elder. Sun’s next door, and couldn’t help asking.

Zhao Yu nodded and said, “Agreed, but Aunt Xuan, Elder. Sun doesn’t want the fact that he’s teaching me to get out, including to his spouse and daughter, so just pretend you don’t know…”

“Ah, oh, I understand!” Liu Wenxuan nodded quickly, not prying into the reasons.

“I plan to go to the quiet room and look over these books. Watch the door for me, and let me know when Mrs. Sun and her daughter Sun Lele return…”

After finis.h.i.+ng his statement, Zhao Yu added, “Make sure not to make it too obvious, or let others notice that you are watching them…”
