Having broken through in the Body Refinement Realm, Su Yu started his routine cultivation of techniques such as the Earth Wood Technique and the Heavenly Phoenix Nirvana Sutra, showing no arrogance or rashness. Even though his strength had improved, he still maintained his usual calmness.
He practised his techniques methodically, making steady progress step by step.
The Body Refinement Realm was once incomparably glorious in the past, with the ancient era seeing terrifying beings who could achieve godhood and demonhood with their physical bodies alone, capable of supporting the heavens with their bodies, punching holes through the sky, and shattering stars with their feet. They were truly invincible entities.
However, the path of body cultivation has declined and does not compare to the path of immortality.
If one wishes to remain on the path of immortality, they need to improve their mana cultivation level diligently.
The improvement of mana is not something that can be achieved overnight but requires persistent daily accumulation.
This applies to ordinary cultivators as well as Su Yu’s proficiency in his techniques.
However, compared to others, the proficiency Su Yu accumulated did not have any bottlenecks.
After spending more than two hours completing the training of various techniques, Su Yu did not immediately leave his seclusion or go in search of Sunmoon Island.
Instead, he took the ingredients for the Nether God Pill from his Qiankun Bag and moved to a nearby alchemy area. Summoning an alchemy furnace, he focused his mind and prepared to refine the Nether God Pill.
“The Family Head, Elder Su He, and Fifth Elder Su Dajun are all at the ninth level of Qi Refinement Realm, and they are all pretty old. They need to prepare the Nether God Pill so they can swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill and attempt the breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm once more,” Su Yu contemplated.
“Elder Su Zhen is not that old and can attempt to swallow the Foundation Establishment Pill to achieve the breakthrough himself.”
“Therefore, our family will need to consume four Foundation Establishment Pills and three Nether God Pills.”
After pondering for a moment, Su Yu remembered, after Su Yun, Su Chang, and Su Ruosu consumed three Foundation Establishment Pills last time, there were still eight left in the family’s inventory.
If another four were consumed this time, only half would remain.
“We have to prepare to replenish them. The Yu Family should need them, too. They mentioned before that they only refine once every four or five years, so they should deliver the two sets of Foundation Establishment Pill ingredients soon,” Su Yu exhaled lightly.
With that, the family should be able to replenish the inventory for four or five Foundation Establishment Pills.
It’s a pity, however, that no one approached the Su family to refine Foundation Establishment Pills during this time.
Otherwise, he could have saved some.
“For the Foundation Establishment Pill’s ingredients, we’re still lacking Void Spirit Fruits. We have enough of Pure Demon Cores and other materials for three sets, but Void Spirit Fruits are truly a headache. They’ve all been monopolized by powerful entities. Any Void Spirit Trees found in the wild have been transplanted and brought back, making them hard to find,” Su Yu slightly furrowed his brows.
At the same time, an idea occurred to him: it was time to start collecting core material spirit plants like the Void Spirit Tree.
Otherwise, the Su Family would always be at the mercy of others concerning the material for Foundation Establishment Pills.
Having thought about this, Su Yu suppressed all other thoughts in his heart, activated the Golden Cicada Technique, and started to refine the Nether God Pill.
“Godless Flower, Sky Snake Grass, Spirit Marrow Liquid…”
One by one, these ingredients fell into the alchemy furnace to be refined into medicinal liquid.
It took just over an hour.
This batch of Nether God Pills was successfully refined.
“Buzz! ”
As Su Yu activated the pill collection technique, the lid of his alchemy furnace flew open. Immediately, four pills flew out. Each was perfectly round, emitting a rich and unusual fragrance, like flawless pearls.
Looking at these four pills, Su Yu’s eyes sparkled slightly. He smiled and said,
“Not bad. Four top-quality Nether God Pills.”
The rank of the Nether God Pill is not high. It is only a lower second-grade elixir.
However, during Su Yu’s second attempt at refining the Nether God Pill, he was able to produce four pills at one time, and all four were of top quality.
If other second-grade alchemists saw his alchemy technique, they would probably be stunned.
The number of pills created in one batch, besides being influenced by the alchemy technique used, is also affected by the quality of the ingredients. Some ingredients have a limit of five pills, while some only allow four.
For this batch of Nether God Pills, four is already the limit.
After the first successful refinement, Su Yu sat cross-legged to recover his mana and energy.
An hour later, Su Yu started refining the second batch of Nether God Pills.
In this second batch, Su Yu outdid himself and produced five Nether God Pills, one of which was of perfect quality, and the remaining four were of top quality.
“Not bad,” Su Yu looked at the perfectly completed Nether God Pill with its well-defined pill patterns and felt secretly pleased.
If one were to consume this Nether God Pill, perhaps the chances of the Family Head’s breakthrough would be even higher.
After he had recovered his mana again, Su Yu finally left the secluded room.
By this time, it was already dark outside.
Su Yu found Su Peng, Su He, Su Dajun and Su Zhen, gave three Nether God Pills to Su Peng and explained the drawbacks after the breakthrough. Whether they wanted to attempt a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm, he would leave the decision to them.
For Su Zhen, Su Yu gave him a top-quality Foundation Establishment Pill, telling him to prepare for seclusion and to attempt a breakthrough.
As expected.
Upon hearing that they could recover to their peak status and attempt a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm again, Su Peng, Su He, and Su Dajun, gritting their teeth, all chose to forge ahead.
Su Peng was already a hundred and four years old, not far from the end of his lifespan, perhaps only about twenty years left.
Su He was younger, but he was also in his eighties, slightly older than Su Zhen.
Su Dajun was in his nineties.
If they did not attempt a breakthrough into the Foundation Establishment Realm again, they would truly have no more opportunities.
If they could break through, their lives could be extended for decades more.
The four of them separately began their retreat and prepared for their breakthrough.
Su Yu had the Puppet Dao Body protect them, while he himself used an escape technique to dive deep into the ground, continuing his search for traces of Sunmoon Island.
Half a month later.
Su Yu had searched a significant portion of the area beneath the Medicine Mountain and found many underground lava tunnels and many underground river channels, but there was no sign of Sunmoon Island..
