Cultivating Immortality Through a Hundred Lifetimes in Both Realms

"This is the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror, a top-grade protective magic artifact. Take it."

With a thought, Zhou Hongde sent the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror flying into the air.

However, at that moment, Zhou Hongde flicked his finger.

A powerful wind blade suddenly appeared and rushed straight towards the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror.

This wind blade is equivalent to a casual strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Without powerful trump cards, even a cultivator at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining cannot withstand it.

The Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror was suspended in mid-air, its surface emitting a blue light.

A brilliant blue light shone brightly, illuminating the wind blade.

The wind blades vanished instantly.

The casual strike from the Foundation Establishment cultivator was easily blocked by the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror.

After blocking the wind blade, the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror slowly floated down in front of Jiang Yun.

"Alchemists don't fight much and lack combat experience, so this protective magic artifact is perfect for you," Zhou Hongde said to Jiang Yun with a smile.

"Thank you, clan chief."

Jiang Yun calmly accepted the top-grade protective magic artifact and put it directly into his storage bag.

This mirror can block a casual strike from a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

If one were to infuse it with magical power, it would surely be able to withstand a full-force attack from a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages.

It truly lives up to its reputation as a top-grade protective artifact.

"From today onwards, you are the Second Elder of the Zhou Family's Pill Hall. This is your Elder's Token."

Ye Hongyi took out the Zhou family elder token and threw it to Jiang Yun.

Having this token signifies that one is an elder of the Zhou family, a symbol of status.

None of the clan leader's four sons, Zhou Zongxiao and Zhou Zongyao, possessed elder tokens.

"Thank you, Mistress." Jiang Yun accepted the elder's token and hung it on her waist.

Zhou Zongxiao, Zhou Zongyao, and the others looked at the elder token on Jiang Yun's waist with envy on their faces.

This is the treatment of a genius in alchemy; they are promoted to family elders at a young age.

They can't be compared; they're not even close.

After handing the elder's token to Jiang Yun, Zhou Hongde and Ye Hongyi ordered Jiang Yun to diligently refine pills for the family.

After the First Elder Zhou Hongchang steps down, he will take over the family's alchemy affairs.

Jiang Yun nodded, then cupped his hands and said, "Clan leader, I have another matter to discuss."

"What is it?" Zhou Hongde asked.

"Please grant me two more years to hone my alchemy skills," Jiang Yun said solemnly. "In two years, I will be able to skillfully refine Fire Element Pills and Earth Element Pills."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked.

Zhou Hongchang, who was also a top-grade alchemist, opened his mouth.

You're going to defy the heavens, kid!

One can master the refining of a single elixir within a year.

If this continues, wouldn't it be possible to refine second-tier pills during the Qi Refining stage?

"Yun'er, you mustn't boast in front of the clan leader!" Zhou Zongting scolded in a low voice.

Jiang Yun, however, was unconvinced and said confidently:

"Clan leader, if I fail to master the refining of both fire and earth elemental pills within two years, I am willing to offer my head!"

Two years later, it was still too conservative.

Jiang Yun is now proficient in refining Fire Essence Pills and Earth Essence Pills.

Bringing up his head was just a way to fool everyone.

Zhou Hongde pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Since you have such confidence, I will give you two years."

"Thank you, Chieftain!"

Jiang Yun bowed with his hands clasped.

The objective has been achieved.

For the next two years, you can go to the Mission Hall to accept missions and earn contribution points.

Zhou Hongde agreed to this and left the Pill Hall with Ye Hongyi and the others.

"Congratulations on your promotion to elder."

Zhou Zongxiao and the others offered their congratulations and then followed the clan leader away.

They seemed to have something important to deal with.

After these people left, Zhou Hongchang couldn't help but ask:

"Although the names of the five Yuan Dan (original pills) are similar, they are actually five different pills, and the medicinal materials used are also different."

"Are you truly confident in refining the Fire Essence Pill and Earth Essence Pill within two years?"

"Don't worry, Elder," Jiang Yun chuckled. "I won't make promises I'm not sure of."

"Very well." Zhou Hong sighed, "My talent in alchemy is inferior to yours. Perhaps this is the difference between a genius and a mediocre person."

"Elder, there's no need to belittle yourself," Jiang Yun comforted him. "Being able to become a top-grade alchemist is already an achievement."

Zhou Hongchang smiled.

He suddenly remembered something, and his face froze.

"Won't I be busy running around for the next two years?"

……

After chatting with Zhou Hongchang for a few minutes, Jiang Yun returned to the alchemy room.

He opened his storage bag and took out the Azure Phoenix Heart-Protecting Mirror to examine it.

This is a palm-sized bronze round mirror with an extremely smooth surface.

A lifelike blue phoenix is ​​carved on the back of the mirror.

"This magical artifact can withstand a full-force attack from a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment."

"If facing a cultivator of the same level, one can be invincible."

Jiang Yun had just witnessed the power of this top-grade protective magic artifact, so he kept it safe.

Immediately afterwards, he took out many jade bottles from his storage bag.

These jade bottles contain five kinds of primordial elixirs: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

One hundred of each type of Yuan Dan, for a total of five hundred.

Among them were thirty Danwen Yuan Dan pills.

This is a mission I accepted a year ago to collect 500 Yuan Dan.

It's now complete, and you can submit the task to earn contribution points immediately.

"The task provided 300 portions of medicinal herbs. 39 portions were wasted, and 261 portions were successfully refined. My success rate in refining first-grade high-quality pills is now close to 90%."

"261 medicinal materials yielded 522 pills, including 32 pills with Danwen Yuan Dan."

"The probability of refining a pill pattern is six percent, barely enough to complete the mission requirement of 30 Yuan Pills."

Jiang Yun was very satisfied with the results of the year.

Other alchemists generally have a success rate of 70% in refining pills.

Three hundred portions of medicinal herbs, under the demanding conditions requiring pill patterns, are far from sufficient to refine more than five hundred Yuan Pills.

If you accept this task, you will not only fail to gain contribution points, but you will also have to pay out of pocket.

They couldn't even achieve a high success rate in alchemy.

Not to mention the requirement to complete the task of consuming thirty Danwen Yuan Dan.

"Excluding the five hundred Yuan Dan required for submitting the task."

"I can still earn twenty-two Yuan Dan, and two of them have Dan patterns."

Jiang Yun took stock of everything.

They discovered that the mission was successfully completed, and they even made a small profit.

The next day.

Jiang Yun took the storage bag, changed his appearance, and went directly to the Chun Chang Fang Mission Hall to submit the mission.

Chun Chang Fang Mission Hall, Refining Hall.

The steward took Jiang Yun's identity token, confirmed his identity, and began to examine the pills.

"The task involves 500 Yuan Dan pills, with 30 of them required to have pill patterns."

"The inspection is complete, all task requirements have been met, and you will receive 1150 contribution points."

After saying that, the steward fiddled with Jiang Yun's identity jade token and distributed contribution points to him.

Jiang Yun retrieved his identity jade token and saw that his contribution points had changed again.

Zhou Yun, Contribution Points: 1410

"It takes 17000 contribution points to exchange for the Gathering Yuan Pill."

"The existing contribution points can be exchanged for one-twelfth of a Gathering Yuan Pill."

Jiang Yun felt that he had taken another step closer to Foundation Establishment. He took his identity jade token and walked to the task board to see what tasks he could accept.

After some observation, no suitable alchemy task was found.

Helpless, he had no choice but to leave Chun Chang Fang and prepare to return to Ning Yuan Fang's mission hall to try his luck.

Unexpectedly, I found an alchemy quest available in the Ningyuanfang quest hall.
