Chapter 291: Chapter 194 Announcement of News_1
One day later.
As his condition recovered, Lin Tianming opened his eyes and took out three plump Foundation Establishment Pills, looking overjoyed.
Feeling that his state was just right, he planned to refine a few more batches of elixirs, striving to improve both the pill concoction rate and the number of successful pills.
Having made up his mind, he took out another portion of Spiritual Medicine Materials for the Foundation Establishment Pill and began pill refining.
Familiar with the procedure, one by one, the Spiritual Medicine Materials were decomposed and purified into differently colored liquid essences, which settled at the bottom of the Three Star Furnace, waiting for the infusion of spirit and pill solidification.
Two months hurried by.
In the Pill Refining Room, Lin Tianming looked at the seventeen Jade Bottles laid out before him, his expression quite satisfied.
Since he had entered the Pill Refining Room for secluded cultivation, nearly three months had passed.
The difficulty of refining Foundation Establishment Pills was not small; only three to four batches could be refined each month. Forcing more could affect both the rate of pill success and the number of pills, so he wasn’t in a rush.
He proceeded carefully and steadily, always waiting to return to his peak condition before starting on the next batch of elixirs.
After all, the auxiliary herbs for Foundation Establishment Pills were the lesser concern, but the main herb, White Jade Grass, was limited. Wasting one meant one less available; refining an extra one could potentially create another Foundation Establishment Cultivator for the clan.
Under such cautious conditions, he successfully refined four batches from seven portions of Spiritual Medicine Materials, yielding a total of seventeen Foundation Establishment Pills, all of good quality. While not reaching the highest quality, they were still quite rare.
With these seventeen Foundation Establishment Pills, even if the restrictions were completely lifted, the clan wouldn’t have to worry about Foundation Establishment for its members for the next ten years.
Contemplating this, Lin Tianming’s expression became ecstatic as he put the Jade Bottles into his storage bag, then tidied up, preparing to end this period of pill refining.
The reason he was emerging from seclusion now, aside from having addressed the urgent need for Foundation Establishment Pills, was because he wanted to save half of the Spiritual Medicine Materials until he became a Second Order Medium Quality or Second Order Superior Alchemist before continuing refining.
By then, if he could refine top-quality Foundation Establishment Pills, the medicinal power within them would be stronger, increasing the odds of breakthrough just a bit.
And that slim chance, in many instances, could change a person’s destiny.
Back then, when Lin Shixin was breaking through to Foundation Establishment, if he had used such a pill, his odds of success would have greatly increased, with at least a sixty to seventy percent chance of entering the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Regrettably, the clan’s resources were insufficient at the time, and even the Minor Foundation Building Pill was their last lifeline.
Under the pressure of formidable enemies and advancing age, they had no choice but to stake everything on one gamble. Under the same age constraints, Lin Shigong seized that final opportunity, breaking through at the last moment and thus changing his own fate.
Recalling Lin Shixin’s unruly character and his amiable face, always fooling around and joking with him, and the many times he had offered assistance, Lin Tianming’s bright eyes were filled with a reflective look.
His thoughts returning, he sighed helplessly.
“Perhaps this is destiny; it’s such a pity for Tenth Uncle.”
Listening to his own sigh echoing in the Pill Refining Room brought him back to reality.
Having tidied up the Pill Refining Room, Lin Tianming then left his cave residence and headed towards the Family Merits Hall.@@novelbin@@
Soon, he met Lin Xingcheng.
The two of them sat opposite each other, exchanging greetings, and then Lin Tianming directly took out fifteen Jade Bottles and passed them to Lin Xingcheng.
Lin Xingcheng took a bottle and opened it, his breathing becoming hurried at once.
Even though he knew he would eventually see the real Foundation Establishment Pills and was also preparing to exchange Merit Points for them, the sight of these actual elixirs still thrilled him immensely.
Seeing Lin Xingcheng’s excited expression, Lin Tianming spoke up,
“Uncle, out of the fifteen portions of Spiritual Medicine Materials, seven have been refined. The rest will be continued after my alchemy skills have further improved.”
After speaking, he passed a storage bag containing the remaining eight portions of Foundation Establishment Pill Spiritual Materials to Lin Xingcheng.
Lin Xingcheng took some time to calm down before taking the storage bag and checking its contents. He then said,
“The fifteen Foundation Establishment Pills you’ve given are for the clan, fulfilling the requirements. These remaining eight portions of materials, strictly speaking, belong to you personally.”
Hearing this, Lin Tianming didn’t refuse and said,
“These Spiritual Medicine Materials are extremely valuable and unsafe to carry on me. I will leave them with the clan for safekeeping and will come to collect them when I plan to refine Foundation Establishment Pills.”
After he spoke, Lin Xingcheng put away the storage bag and personally assured that he would take good care of the materials and report honestly to the Clan Leader.
Lin Tianming nodded, and after a few more casual words, he said his goodbyes and left.
Watching Lin Tianming depart, Lin Xingcheng hurriedly took the Foundation Establishment Pills that Lin Tianming had brought to the Clan Elders’ Assembly to report in person.
He soon arrived at the Elders’ Council Hall.
At that moment, Lin Shihua was discussing something with several clan members. After giving a few instructions, he turned around.
Seeing Lin Xingcheng’s arrival, Lin Shihua seemed a bit surprised, chuckled, and asked, “Xingcheng, what brings you here today? It’s not yet the day for the monthly report, is it?”
Lin Xingcheng stepped forward and respectfully bowed, then took out the storage bag Lin Tianming had given him and handed it to Lin Shihua for inspection.
Lin Shihua furrowed his brow, wondering what could have happened so recently, but when he saw the Foundation Establishment Pills inside the storage bag, his breathing immediately quickened.
