Chapter 62

Another few hours passed, and the alchemy room was filled with waste liquidnot a single success. Chen Xun remained calm and composed, starting to analyze.

"These spirit herbs of heaven and earth are truly peculiar. Different years make such a huge difference."

Chen Xun thought to himself, "For the same foundational assisting herbs, a mere difference of ten years in their age requires a completely different level of heat control and technique."nove(l)bi(n.)com

This was completely different from when he used to refine Heavy Feather Pills and Vitality-Boosting Pills. He had already mastered the precise timing down to the year, which was why he couldn't refine them in the Qi Refining stage.

This kind of spirit herb probably required legendary divine perception to completely control and significantly increase the success rate.

"But what I don't lack the most are spirit, herbs, and time." Chen Xun showed a faint smile, feeling intrigued and undisheartened by the failures.

Time passed as Chen Xun continued his daily alchemy practice, taking no more than five pills a month. If he failed, he would record his experiences and feelings, meditating to explore his sensations at that time.

...

Spring turned to autumn, and another year swiftly went by. Inside the Medicine Valley, the four seasons remained like spring, and time seemed to have left no mark on Chen Xun and the big black ox.

In their secret base, the big black ox stared intently at Chen Xun's alchemy furnace. The aroma of medicinal herbs filled the air, and it kept sniffing with its cow's nose.

"Moo!" The big black ox suddenly became excited. Chen Xun had worked hard this year, but it couldn't help him; he was only able to cultivate spirit herbs on the side.

Finally, Chen Xun successfully refined a spirit herb, but he had a calm expression, lacking any sense of excitement.

"Everything is under my control," Chen Xun thought, his eyes calm but with a hint of a smirk. "Foundational spirit herbs are nothing. They are easy to handle."

"Moo, moo!" The big black ox kept circling around Chen Xun, full of admiration. It truly lived up to its namea real big brother!

"I've finally gotten the hang of it," Chen Xun said, getting up slowly and letting out a deep breath. "Old Ox, we're on the path to Foundation Establishment."

"Moo!" The big black ox, excited, pounced on Chen Xun, and the latter couldn't hold back anymore, bursting into laughter.

The beginning of everything is always difficult, but they have finally taken the first step.

Inside the Medicine Valley, in the cave behind the waterfall, Chen Xun and the big black ox were just ordinary individuals, unable to influence the bigger picture. They could only go with the flow and invest their ten years of longevity points into defense.

However, it was said that it was just a lot of noise for now, and they hadn't yet reached the stage of taking action. But lower-level disciples didn't see it that way; rumors were flying everywhere.

"Old Ox, why does it feel like a fight is about to break out?" Chen Xun furrowed his brows slightly, looking at the big black ox. "If they come to the Five Elements Sect, what should we do?"

"Moo?" The big black ox felt somewhat anxious. These lower-level disciples were constantly fear-mongering, spreading rumors that every thousand years there might be a great war among cultivators.

"Dammit," Chen Xun cursed softly. Competition for resources was a common issue in every world, but the key question was, what could they, as ordinary people, do about it?

Winning wouldn't bring much benefit, and losing might result in the destruction of the sect. Moreover, this group of low-level disciples had no idea what kind of development the two Immortal Sects had reached.

"Moo!" The big black ox stomped its feet in panic. It was worried because these lower-level disciples were constantly exaggerating and spreading rumors, saying that a great war among cultivators might break out every thousand years.

"Old Ox, it seems we've got a bit ahead of ourselves," Chen Xun slapped his forehead. He realized he had been biased. The big black ox's point was that none of the prominent figures in the Qian Nation had started a conflict yet, so why were they worrying unnecessarily?

"Heh, it seems that's the case. If a battle were to occur, it would likely start with the Ten Great Sects. We still have no news about the Five Elements Sect. Haha, hahaha."

Chen Xun suddenly burst into laughter, feeling relieved. Rumors can be harmful; he almost thought the Five Elements Sect was the center of the world.

The big black ox rolled its eyes at Chen Xun. Sometimes, overthinking could lead to making wrong judgments.

"However, Old Ox, we should be prepared for anything," Chen Xun cleared his throat. "Regardless of how much we can contribute to the sect, we should at least have the strength to protect ourselves."

"Moo!" The big black ox nodded heavily, its eyes becoming more serious. If a real fight broke out, they could only fight within their capabilities and never overestimate themselves; this was what Chen Xun had taught.

Chen Xun smiled slightly; he didn't consider himself a saint. Accumulating anger and resorting to self-destruction to confront Foundation Establishment cultivators for the sake of the Five Elements Sect was something he couldn't bring himself to do.

Their gaze suddenly turned to the alchemical furnace, inside which were five glistening pills, each with a green leaf-like pattern. After ten years of effort, Chen Xun had finally refined all the herbs for Foundation Establishment Pills. However, the most important thing was his advanced alchemical skills, which seemed to be more critical.

They didn't understand what this leaf pattern was, and the Foundation Establishment Pills looked entirely different from the ones given to them by the elders. They were puzzled.

"Old Ox, get ready to establish the foundation."

"Moo!"
