Chapter 998: Chapter 125 Foundation Establishment_6

“I know!”

Although Liu Wenxuan did not know why Zhao Yu asked her to do this, she trusted him unconditionally. She went ahead and did it as he told her.

After entering the quiet room, Zhao Yu originally wanted to look at the alchemy books but he always felt uneasy.

Thus, he began to replay the conversation he had with Elder Sun in the next room.

The more he thought about it, the more things seemed off, but he couldn’t pinpoint what was wrong.

Over an hour swiftly pa.s.sed, and almost two hours had gone by when Elder Sun’s wife took Sun Lele away, Zhao Yu then left the quiet room.

“Aunt Xuan, how did it go?!”

Liu Wenxuan had just returned to the yard and whispered in response, “They just got back…”

“They hadn’t come back before?” Zhao Yu pressed.

“No!” Liu Wenxuan shook her head.

“I see…”

Zhao Yu stroked his chin.

From this point, it seemed Elder Sun was lying, appearing as if he had done something wrong and was feeling guilty, thus he hurried him away and then composed himself.

But what could have been the mistake?!

Could it really just be the content of their transaction?

Zhao Yu was somewhat perplexed and didn’t sleep well that night.

Only the following day, Liu Wenxuan lay beside him and embraced him, saying, “Zhao Yu, no matter what happens, I am with you…”

Hearing these words, Zhao Yu came back to his senses and inwardly mocked himself for being overly sensitive.

Even if Elder Sun had any plots, what of it? Given the scope of Elder Sun, at worst it would not exceed the Foundation Establishment level.

He had sufficient energy to boost his level of progress to the Golden Core Stage in a moment; by then, any plot or scheme would be forcefully overcome by power.

With that thought, Zhao Yu held Liu Wenxuan and smiled, “I know, it’s all right now!”

“Once Elder Sun’s wife takes Sun Lele away, I’ll go and learn alchemy from Elder Sun…”

In the afternoon, Elder Sun’s wife took Sun Lele away, and Zhao Yu proceeded to Elder Sun’s house next door.

Elder Sun seemed more spirited than the day before. Under Zhao Yu’s discreet observation, he appeared surprisingly calm.

What astonished Zhao Yu was that for the next hour or so, Elder Sun faithfully kept his promise, earnestly teaching him the art of alchemy.

The only thing worth noting was that Elder Sun was always mindful of the time, seemingly afraid that his wife and Sun Lele would come back and run into Zhao Yu.

Thus, a quarter of an hour after Zhao Yu left Elder Sun’s house, Elder Sun’s wife and Sun Lele returned.

For several consecutive days, it was the same, and Zhao Yu gradually let go of his worries and started to earnestly learn the art of alchemy.

He had more time than others to study alchemy and, coupled with his spiritual power having reached a refined state, his learning pace was very fast.

In just half a year, Zhao Yu could already produce Tier 1 low-grade medicinal pills.

What made him even happier was that during this period, Elder Sun did not take a dime for the pills produced; he let him sell them freely.

Thus, Liu Wenxuan resumed her old routine of setting up a stall, helping Zhao Yu to sell the medicinal pills, magical artifacts, and talismans in the market.

As time pa.s.sed, their savings grew more and more substantial.

Another half-year pa.s.sed, and Zhao Yu was now able to produce Tier 1 upper-rank medicinal pills.

Just when Zhao Yu thought that his days would continue on uneventfully, his neighbor Huang Songyu suddenly came for a visit.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao…”

“Fellow Daoist Huang…”

After exchanging pleasantries briefly, Huang Songyu revealed the purpose of his visit.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao, I see that you and Daoist Liu are exceptionally affectionate, and I just happen to have an item that Daoist Liu can use, but I’m not sure if you are willing to buy it…”

“Oh, what is it?!”

Under Zhao Yu’s curious gaze, Huang Songyu took out a pill from his storage bag.

“This is…”

Zhao Yu was visibly shaken.

“Correct, this is the Heart-Clearing Pill, which can help those over thirty but under thirty-five return to their peak, a.s.sisting in Foundation Establishment…” Huang Songyu said with a smile.

Zhao Yu hadn’t expected to see the Heart-Clearing Pill in Huang Songyu’s possession, especially since he had come specifically to sell it to him.

He didn’t know if this was a coincidence or if there was some conspiracy behind it.

Zhao Yu narrowed his eyes and said, “Heart-Clearing Pill is quite valuable, it certainly could fetch a higher price at an auction house, I wonder why Fellow Daoist Huang would seek me out?!”

Huang Songyu, having approached him, naturally came prepared with an explanation, “Huang has enemies at Mount Ascension, it’s not suitable for me to act openly, so I must seek transactions privately…”

Zhao Yu frowned, “I am just an ordinary early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, how can Fellow Daoist Huang be sure that I can afford it?!”

He indeed needed the Heart-Clearing Pill, but this visit with such an obvious intent made him suspicious.

“Fellow Daoist Zhao, being an Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, and Talisman Master, you are quite wealthy, naturally you can afford a Heart-Clearing Pill!” Huang Songyu smiled, “Previously when I was purchasing supplies in the market, I happened to encounter Daoist Liu selling these items…”

“Observing for a while, I noticed that after Daoist Liu sold the finished products, she often went to purchase raw materials for alchemy, artifact refining, and talisman making, thus I could fairly a.s.sume that Fellow Daoist Zhao is an Alchemist, Artifact Refiner, and Talisman Master!”

“I see!”

Zhao Yu suddenly realized, and his wariness diminished significantly.

He indeed wanted the Heart-Clearing Pill, and if he could secure it now for Liu Wenxuan, it would be best.

“Fellow Daoist Huang, state your price!”

Following that, the two bargained back and forth, and after Zhao Yu had paid almost all of his a.s.sets, he finally got his hands on the Heart-Clearing Pill.

In the end, Zhao Yu had gotten a bargain as the price he paid for the Heart-Clearing Pill was more than 50% lower than the market price.

Perhaps, as Huang Songyu had said, he had enemies at Mount Ascension and didn’t dare to act openly, which is why he came to him for the transaction.

The transaction concluded, Huang Songyu did not stay long and quickly left.

Zhao Yu, being an Alchemist, naturally had checked the Heart-Clearing Pill earlier and affirmed it was indeed genuine.

However, it was only of good quality.

Pills are categorically divided into three major grades—lower, middle, and upper—and also differ in quality, within the same grade there are good, fine, and supreme quality.

Different qualities of pills naturally have different effects; the better the quality, the better the effects, and the higher the price.

That night, Zhao Yu specifically asked Liu Wenxuan to dress up carefully.

Liu Wenxuan thought Zhao Yu had devised some new scheme, but when Zhao Yu had her open the box, Liu Wenxuan was utterly enamored.

“Heart-Clearing Pill?!!”
