Chapter 278 Hexagram 8

According to the internal gossip of the Yun family, let alone the Foundation Establishment Pill, their Yun family is not even short of the Golden Forming Pill and the Meridian Opening Pill, and they even have the Evil Breaking Pill. Didn't you see that the wife of the head of the family has been in seclusion for many days?

Yes, Huang Guzhen has been in seclusion for quite some time. After taking three sets of top-grade pills, it seems very unlikely that she will fail to form a pill.

Because according to Zhou Ran's calculations, the probability of Huang Guzhen failing when using three top-grade elixirs is only one in a thousand, so the success rate is 99.9%.

However, Huang Guzhen did not take the pill for a long time, but planned to hone his foundation-building skills more solidly.

She didn't want to waste the pills.

After all, she didn't have only one daughter. Yun Peike gave birth to three good children. She had just established her foundation and had already completed the three-piece set of Jindan.

But what about her other two disappointing children? She couldn't let Zhou Ran bleed again. As for spending spirit stones to buy them, she considered it and couldn't afford it.

Before taking a long vacation, Wan Louzhu had already held a special auction, where 30 Jindan pills were sold at a sky-high price. To this end, he even sent another spiritual stone to Yun Peishan to make up the difference.

Anyway, according to the prices at the auction, Yun Yichuan and she could only afford low-grade elixirs, so... they were quite poor.

Dharma, land, wealth and friends are topics that practitioners cannot avoid.

The Yun family...is not worthy of her grandchildren.

Zhou Qian had already proposed this before. After he reached Dan-Ji, he planned to take his sister and leave the Yun family, and go to Zhongzhou to join a sect.

Yun Peike refused to leave because she didn't want to be a burden to her children and she didn't want to leave the Yun family.

This was all discussed.

Zhou Ran felt that this "young" grandparents really had their own principles.

On the one hand, they themselves would not refuse her kindness, and on the other hand, they would not morally blackmail Zhou Ran and ask her to make elixirs for her uncle and aunt.

In fact, Zhou Ran didn't mind. As long as she was given the materials for making the elixir, it didn't matter who she made the elixir for.

Finally, after ensuring that her body was in optimal condition, Huang Guzhen took a golden elixir, and calamity clouds gathered over the Yun family again.

"The Yun family is getting better. It has been many years since a Jindan cultivator appeared. Look at the past two years, two genius foundation-building cultivators and two Jindan cultivators have emerged. Wow." Cultivator Passerby A looked at the calamity cloud and gossiped.

"Yes, in the past few years, it seemed that the Yun family was on the verge of decline." Monk Passerby B also joined in the fun.

"It's not that bad. The current head of the Yun family, Yun Yichuan, has always been known as a genius. He has lived up to his reputation by forming a pill at the age of one hundred." Cultivator Passerby C is quite old, so he knows so many things.

"I'm talking about Yun Yichuan's descendants. Among his three children, only the youngest daughter is more talented and was very popular back then, but it is said that she was abandoned by the eldest wife of the Yun family. Not to mention the eldest wife of the Yun family, she could barely build a foundation, and all her children are mediocre." Cultivator Passerby B continued.

"Yun Yichuan's youngest daughter is extraordinary. More than 20 years ago, she eloped with someone and gave birth to three children. The eldest daughter was sent to the sect after she established her foundation. The youngest son established his foundation at the age of ten, and the youngest daughter also established her foundation at the age of ten. They are all geniuses." There is someone here who envies Yun Peike for being able to give birth.

"If I had known that the Yun family master's youngest daughter was so good at giving birth, I would have asked for her hand in marriage on behalf of my son..." sighed monk Passerby C.

"Come on, it's still a long time since we knew it. Yun Pei Ke was engaged back then, haven't you forgotten?"

"You are talking about Nangong..."

"Shh! I didn't say anything, it's all your personal guess!"

There was a lot of gossip outside, and Zhou Ran and Zhou Qian, who were standing not far away, obviously heard it too.

"Brother, mother's engagement was broken off before?" Zhou Ran's eyes flashed with gossip.

"I don't know. Do you dare to ask mother?" Zhou Qian said speechlessly. Although he was reborn, he had changed a lot. Sometimes he would wonder if he had had a dream of being an Immortal Emperor before.

But he has signed in to the system, so this can’t be a dream, right?

However, this kind of broken engagement is indeed the protagonist's template.

So what should the story be?

Because Yun Peike's spiritual roots were damaged and she was unable to practice, the Nangong family mentioned by the passerby broke off the engagement. After the breakup, she married Zhou Chengjin, a country passerby, and gave birth to three children. The eldest child, Zhou Hui, joined the Medicine King Valley when she grew up. The second child, Zhou Qian, established her foundation at the age of ten and formed an elixir at the age of eighteen. The third child, Zhou Ran, also established his foundation at the age of ten and became a third-level alchemist.

Nangong, look, the woman you broke off your engagement with has given birth to three talented children. If you hadn't broken off the engagement, these three would have been your children...

The scene was so beautiful that Zhou Qian didn’t dare to think about it any further. She started coughing loudly to cover up the “brain” she had just grown.

"Brother, you can't be... Nangong Qian? Hahaha!" Zhou Ran laughed at her brother loudly. This surname was too ridiculous.

"Don't be too proud, or I'll tell mom!" Zhou Qian glared at Zhou Ran and looked up at Jie Yun.

It’s bigger than grandpa Yun Yichuan’s. Does it mean that grandma is actually more talented than grandpa?

That's right. Huang Guzhen is the legitimate daughter of the Huang family in Yaowang Valley. She is very talented. If she hadn't been tricked back home by Yun Yichuan early on, she should have entered Yaowang Valley and would have been able to form a pill early on.

It’s nothing like it is now, where you get married, have children, and become someone else’s grandmother.

Zhou Ran was just joking, and she didn't dare to continue to discuss this matter as it concerned her mother's reputation.

As the first thunderbolt struck, the onlookers stopped gossiping and focused on looking in the direction of the calamity cloud.

The tribulation thunder of the Jindan stage, unlike the foundation-building stage, is a process that cultivators must go through in their advancement.

Only by enduring these nine thunder tribulations can a cultivator's inner essence undergo a dramatic transformation, resulting in the formation of a golden elixir. The golden elixir is the process by which spiritual energy is transformed from liquid form into a golden elixir core, whose energy is dozens of times more powerful than liquid spiritual energy.

Zhou Qian was also about to form a golden elixir, so he watched it very seriously. It would take at least half a year, at most a year, for him to form a golden elixir. Because he wanted a perfect golden elixir, he suppressed his cultivation in the foundation-building stage. He was currently at the eleventh level of the foundation-building stage, and the spiritual energy in his dantian had already taken on a misty form.

Zhou Ran observed Huang Guzhen's pill-making process to deduce her alchemy skills, trying to figure out what the problem was and why she couldn't make a perfect pill.

Huang Guzhen was using top-grade elixirs, from which she could determine where the weak points lay, and then try to see if she could make a breakthrough in alchemy...

Well, that's pure nonsense, she's not that talented, it's just that her proficiency in making pills hasn't reached the maximum level, so she just needs to refine more!

These days, Zhou Ran had already found the reason. It was the same when she was refining the Foundation Establishment Pill before. She had never been able to refine a perfect Foundation Establishment Pill at the beginning, until her proficiency in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill reached the maximum level.

But whether it is a single type of elixir that is farmed to the maximum level, or her alchemist level that is farmed to the maximum proficiency, remains to be seen.
