"The Tang family …"
In the cave, Lu Wenyuan shook his head. He knew that the Tang family was trying to intimidate him. His relationship with the Tang family was deteriorating.
In fact, the Tang family had made the right choice. If he were the leader of the Tang family, he would have done the same.
Besides, all of this was within the rules. It was not a big deal.
As long as he went to the Tang family to beg for mercy, admit his mistake, and admit his mistake, everything would be over. He could return to his previous privileged status.
That's right!
In Danding School, Lu Wenyuan knew that he used to enjoy some kind of privilege, just like Dongfang Qing.
In fact, the Tang family was aware that he had been secretly embezzling elixirs for decades. They just didn't care about it.
It wasn't until they tried several times and found that he didn't obey orders that they decided to intimidate him.
"Hehe … In fact, I don't want anything from the Tang family. I just want to make sure that I can get the Foundation Establishment Elixirs … In fact, according to the rules, the opportunity to build the Foundation Establishment Elixir should have been mine. I have to use my background and power to beg for fairness. That's sick!"
Lu Wenyuan shook his head. "What I really owe the Tang family is that I've been willful for the past forty years …
"But it's not a good thing for the Tang family if I want to cultivate to the Golden Core Realm …"
The Tang family only had one Golden Core Elder. If they had a choice, they would definitely want to train their own people to the Golden Core Realm and protect the family's glory for another five hundred years.
There was a risk that a foreign official would be stronger than the main branch!
This was the biggest conflict between Lu Wenyuan and the Tang family!
"I won't lower my head, and I won't sacrifice my cultivation to help the Tang family deal with all kinds of chores … The Tang family's attack will only get stronger and stronger. I have no background. If I turn to someone else, I'll be digging my own grave. If I want to break out of this, I have to use force!"
Lu Wenyuan's expression gradually became serious. The power of the elixirs covering him dissipated. An aura that belonged to the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm, or even the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm, spread out.
"If I want to break out of this with force, I have to form the Core!"
Danding School had many Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, but only a few Golden Core Realm Ancestors. They stood at the peak of the sect.
Yes, Danding School did not have any Nascent Soul cultivators. Only the true overlord of Great Liang, the Wu Shi Sect, had a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Therefore, as long as he could condense his Gold Core, Lu Wenyuan would immediately become one of the top members of the Danding School. The Tang Family making things difficult for him would just be a joke!
"After building my foundation, after forty years of bitter cultivation, I've finally reached this step."
Lu Wenyuan flipped his palm and a bottle of pills appeared. Inside the cyan crane-necked jade bottle, there was only one jet-black pill that emitted a pungent aura.
— Demon Subduing Pill!
Over the past forty years, Lu Wenyuan had exhausted all of his scheming to freeload a medicinal pill from a Golden Core Patriarch's Pill Conclave.
Moreover, he had been summoned from history a long time ago.
With his Perfected Foundation Establishment cultivation, it was enough for him to maintain these shadows for a very long time.
"Furthermore, the Demon Subduing Pill is a pill that removes the inner demons and stabilizes the mind. As for the unstable state of mind, it will only happen when one breaks through to the next realm. Thus, after the Core Formation stage, it doesn't matter if the medicinal power disappears or not!"
Lu Wenyuan didn't stop there. One by one, he took out items that could aid in Core Formation from his storage pouch.
Most of them were shadows from history. Only a few of them were the real deal.
In the end, he made a grabbing motion in the air and pulled out two jade boxes, one cold and one hot. Inside the jade boxes were two types of supplementary materials that were greatly beneficial to Core Formation. It was said that even in the Danding School, there were less than three sets of these materials, and they were all prepared for the Gold Core seeds of the school. Being able to touch them with his Triple Spiritual Root was already a blessing from the heavens.
"However, items that can assist in Core Formation are only supplementary in the end. Condensing the Gold Core is still the work of the cultivator himself … As I said before, as long as the Gold Core is formed in the end, even if the medicinal power disappears, it doesn't matter."
It was also because of this reason that Lu Wenyuan looked for Core Formation spiritual items that mainly had supplementary effects.
As for the Five Elements Golden Core Formation Pill, which was said to be able to directly increase one's magic power and forcefully catalyze a cultivator's Core Formation, he simply didn't have any interest in it.
Of course, the main reason was that he couldn't even come into contact with this level of Core Formation spiritual item!
"However, my preparations are already extremely luxurious. I'm afraid that even the direct disciples of the Golden Core Elders of the Danding School wouldn't be as extravagant as me. I'm afraid that only the direct disciples of the Wu Shi Clan might be comparable to me …"
"Let's begin!"
At this thought, Lu Wenyuan took out the Demon Subduing Pill and swallowed it. Then, he took out the two jade boxes, one cold and one hot, and took out the spiritual items to refine the medicinal power.
…
Six months passed by in the blink of an eye.
"Young Master, ever since Lu Wenyuan accepted the mission, he has been in seclusion for a long time and hasn't gone out … In fact, it's almost time to hand over the medicinal pills. Deacon Zhang from the Mission Hall came to ask me how to handle it."
In a luxurious cave, Tang Buhuan was leaning on a cloud bed. He held an egg-sized green bead in his hand and listened to Xu Chang's report.
The eldest son of the Tang Clan was still in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm and hadn't made much progress.
Actually, this was normal. Not every cultivator could be like Lu Wenyuan, who ate medicinal pills like candy.
It was normal for one to encounter a bottleneck in cultivation and be stuck for decades or even centuries!
"Hmph, he's indeed an ingrate. His investments in the past decades were all for naught!"
Tang Buhuan scolded. "Tell the people below not to show mercy in the future. Follow the sect rules!"
According to the sect rules, a second-stage Elixir Refinement Master did not have to go out on missions.
However, there were rules in the sect too. Foundation Establishment Cultivators could not refuse the missions arranged by the Mission Hall.
As for which rule to follow, it would depend on one's background and ability.
Previously, Lu Wenyuan had the label of the Tang Clan on him, so he naturally followed the first rule.
Now, he was probably going to enjoy the second treatment.
This was within the rules of the Elixir Tripod Sect. Moreover, since Lu Wenyuan had submitted to the Tang Clan long ago, it was only right for the Tang Clan to beat him up. Even the Sect Master could not do anything about it.
"Yes!"
Xu Chang bowed again before taking his leave.
Tang Buhuan looked at Xu Chang's back and pondered. "Indeed, even if we want to accept outsiders, it's best to choose people who have no hope of Dao. They can serve the clan wholeheartedly and won't be like Lu Wenyuan, who still wants to form his core?"
Even he, a direct descendant of the Golden Core Realm, was not confident at all!
Moreover, in Tang Buhuan's opinion, no matter what, Lu Wenyuan had borrowed the power of the Tang Clan to successfully build his foundation. Wasn't it natural for him to work for the Tang Clan now?
While he was deep in thought, a powerful wave of Spirit Qi suddenly came, causing Tang Buhuan's expression to change. He turned into a beam of light and flew out of the cave abode.
He looked up and saw dark clouds. A vortex formed by Spirit Qi landed somewhere in the Elixir Tripod Sect. A powerful pressure came, causing his heart to palpitate.
"This is … the celestial phenomenon of the Core Formation Realm?!"
Not only Tang Buhuan, but even Xu Chang and more cultivators of the Elixir Tripod Sect were shocked by this celestial phenomenon. They then looked enviously at the location where the vortex of Spirit Qi had landed …
