Chapter 592: The Essence of the Black Dragon, the Beaten Ocean-Cracking Whale, and the Condensing Crystal Pill!

.

Lu Qingsong, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Wangshu were all at a loss for words.

Taking just a bit of time to comprehend it?

If formation techniques were that easy, formation masters wouldn’t be so rare and esteemed.

“Damn it, he’s showing off again!”

Lu Wangshu glanced at her father, thinking he was urging her to improve.

After all, she was hailed as the top talent of the Lu Family.

Not only was she good at talisman making, but she also excelled at alchemy, equipment refining, puppetry, formations, and more.

But her accomplishments were nothing before her father; she was utterly outmatched.

Lu Linghe didn’t feel anything special and simply praised, “Dad, you’re amazing.”

Lu Mengchan, standing nearby, quickly echoed, nodding vigorously, “Dad, you’re amazing!”

Daughters always find it easy to admire their fathers.

Even a little bit of brilliance from him shines brightly in their hearts.

“Haha.”

Lu Changsheng found his youngest daughter’s adorable expression amusing and rubbed her head before channeling his spiritual energy and raising his palm.

Yin-Yang Grand Capture!

“Buzz!”

A profound stream of Yin-Yang Qi surged from Lu Changsheng’s palm, diving into the ground.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Even though Lu Changsheng carefully controlled his spiritual energy, the ground still trembled and shook.

“Dad!”

Lu Mengchan immediately hugged her father, her small face filled with fear.

Holding his daughter with one arm, Lu Changsheng signaled her not to be afraid, focusing his Divine Sense on not disrupting the spiritual veins of Dragonfish Island.

Moments later, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi reached an array beneath the crystal and jade slips, blocked by the formation.

“Be cautious.”

Lu Changsheng reminded his children, flicking his finger to stabilize the formation of Dragonfish Island and secure the spiritual veins.

Then, with a thought, the Yin-Yang Dual Qi directly shattered the isolation array underground.

“Boom!”

At that moment, Dragonfish Island quaked violently, causing waves to rise and crash around the island.

The formation broke, and the Yin-Yang Dual Qi instantly enveloped the black-red crystal and two jade slips, pulling them out from the ground.

“Wooo—”

As the Yin-Yang Dual Qi emerged from the ground, everyone felt a vast and terrifying aura.

The Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle, being a Spirit Beast, was particularly sensitive to this aura, shivering and retreating into its shell.

“Dad, what is this?”

Lu Qingsong looked at the crystal and jade slips wrapped in the Yin-Yang Dual Qi, asking in surprise.

“This crystal likely holds the essence of a Black Dragon.”

Lu Changsheng recognized the purple-red crystal as a solid seal, containing a powerful and aggressive essence.

This essence reminded him slightly of the Celestial Phoenix True Feather he had obtained in the past.

However, it was far inferior to the Celestial Phoenix True Feather.

“The essence of a Black Dragon!?”

They exchanged glances, their faces filled with joy.

In the cultivation world, anything associated with dragons was bound to be extraordinary.

And for it to be called a Black Dragon, it had to be at least a Third-Tier Demon King, right?

Lu Qingyan, beside him, seemed deep in thought, recalling the Black Dragon Scripture she had been cultivating.

“This must be the essence of a Fourth-Tier, humanoid demon king. The essence of a mere Third-Tier Demon King couldn’t be this powerful.”

“However, this essence is likely only one-tenth or even less in quantity.”

Lu Changsheng tightly wrapped the crystal with the Yin-Yang Dual Qi to prevent its essence from leaking.

If this essence leaked, any cultivator below Golden Core Formation would not be able to withstand it.

If Lu Wangshu and the others had tried to unearth it, they would’ve been injured by the essence, if not killed.

Immediately after, the two jade slips appeared before Lu Changsheng.

He cautiously examined their contents.

The first jade slip recorded the history of the crystal and the rise of the Zhong Family Ancestor.

It turns out that the Zhong Family Ancestor of Dragonfish Island was originally just a Qi Refining rogue cultivator.

By chance, he encountered a seriously injured Golden Core cultivator, dying and on the brink of death.

Ordinarily, one would save this Golden Core True Person to earn some rewards.

But the Zhong Family Ancestor noticed the person’s severe injuries and shattered Golden Core, so he captured and tortured him instead.

Tortured until he could neither live nor die, eventually revealing his background.

This person was named Yin Guangji, an elder of the Black Dragon Sect from Star Sea.

Framed by others, he was forced to flee his sect, using a teleportation array to reach Da Mengze.

But the unstable array sent him into a void turbulence, where he was gravely injured by a Third-Tier Demon King, his True Core shattered.

By seizing Yin Guangji’s Storage Ring, inheritance, and Natural Treasures, the Zhong Family Ancestor transformed from a humble rogue cultivator into the ancestor of Dragonfish Zhong Family, a top-tier Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This purple-red crystal was the Dragon Essence that Yin Guangji had stolen from the Black Dragon Sect.

“He claimed this Dragon Essence was the condensed essence of a Fourth-Tier Black Dragon killed by the Black Dragon Sect. Consuming it could help break through to Golden Core Formation and even increase the chance of forming a Nascent Soul.”

“When I reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, I wanted to use the Dragon Essence to break through to Golden Core Formation. But upon unsealing it, the Black Dragon’s aura invaded my meridians, severing them!”

“How hateful! That wretch deliberately tricked me! Fortunately, I mastered the Black Dragon Sect’s secret techniques and managed to barely stabilize the Dragon Essence. Otherwise, if it leaked, it would attract countless sea beasts or even a Third-Tier Demon King, destroying my Zhong Family!”

“If this leaked out, it would undoubtedly bring calamity to my family. So, I buried the Dragon Essence and the Black Dragon Sect techniques below the ancestral hall. If a descendent proves capable, they may sense it and retrieve it.”

The Zhong Family Ancestor had recorded more information he learned from Yin Guangji.

For instance, details about Star Sea, Black Dragon Sect, and insights into Golden Core Formation.

However, he also noted at the end that although he tortured Yin Guangji to the brink of death and made him spill secrets, he might have been deceitful, so everything should be taken with caution.

“So, the Zhong Family never produced a peak Foundation Establishment or False Core cultivator before their demise?”

Lu Changsheng sighed as he read the jade slip, feeling a bit melancholic.

The Zhong Family Ancestor’s life was truly legendary.

From a humble Qi Refining cultivator to the ancestor of a family, even on the verge of reaching Golden Core Formation.

But due to his limited experience as a rogue cultivator, he trusted Yin Guangji’s words, resulting in the Black Dragon’s aura invading and severing his meridians, leading to his early demise.

“Or perhaps the immense benefits he gained early on made him fully trust Yin Guangji’s words. How else would he dare to consume such a powerful celestial material like Dragon Essence so recklessly?”

Lu Changsheng sighed and then looked at the other jade slip.

It detailed the inheritances of several techniques.

But only one technique, the Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique, caught Lu Changsheng’s attention.

It’s a top-tier body tempering technique.

Cultivating it to its peak could make one almost comparable to a dragon in physical prowess.

However, it could only be cultivated up to the Nascent Soul stage.

Past that, one needs to go to the Black Dragon Sect for further techniques.

“This technique is interesting, it’s about 50% similar to the Black Dragon Scripture.”

“But while the Black Dragon Scripture is a dual cultivation (of the flesh and spirit) technique, this one focuses purely on body tempering.”

Lu Changsheng briefly glanced through the Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique, clicking his tongue.

If the Black Dragon Scripture is cultivated to perfection, one can transform into a Black Dragon.

Similarly, this Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique gradually strengthens and evolves the body toward that of a Black Dragon, achieving a similar effect.

“In the vast cultivation world, it’s not uncommon for techniques to resemble each other.”

Lu Changsheng didn’t dwell on it, handing the jade slips to the four children with a smile, “Congratulations! You’ve discovered a major opportunity.”

Both the Dragon Essence and this Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique are indeed major opportunities.

“That Zhong Family Ancestor truly is…”

Lu Qingsong, Lu Qingyan, and Lu Wangshu were amazed by the Zhong Family Ancestor’s story after reading the jade slip.

As Qi Refining cultivators encountering a Golden Core True Person, their first instinct would be to capture, torture, and interrogate the person for inheritance and riches.

If it were them, not only would they be unable to pull it off, they wouldn’t have the ruthlessness and courage.

“It was said that the Zhong Family Ancestor only reached Late-Stage Foundation Establishment. Who knew he actually attempted to break through to Golden Core Formation.”

Lu Qingsong let out a deep breath, realizing that those who became legends in their own right are no ordinary people.

At this thought, he instinctively glanced at his handsome, almost celestial-looking father.

“I’ll review this technique later to make sure there aren’t any flaws. If it’s safe, Qingyan, you can try cultivating it.”

“As for this Dragon Essence, its energy is too intense. Even a Foundation Establishment or Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t be able to handle it. It might only work in conjunction with the Black Dragon Sect’s secret techniques or to nurture Spirit Beasts.”

“I’ll credit your contributions to the clan for these. If you want something, let me know.”

Lu Changsheng spoke up, not having any intention of taking advantage of his children.

“If it were a complete Dragon Essence from a Fourth-Tier Black Dragon, it might help the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale evolve into a Splitting-Sea Dragon Whale. But this is just a small piece.”

“Still, it’s worth trying. It might be beneficial.”

Lu Changsheng planned to check on his Splitting-Sea Profound Whale later.

It had been a long time since he’d heard any news after leaving it to roam.

He initially planned to use the Sun-Moon Token to contact it.

But the dense mist in Da Mengze blocked his Divine Sense, so the signal got lost. He could only vaguely sense it in the depths of Da Mengze.

“Thank you, Father.”

“Dad, we didn’t do much; it was mainly Wangshu and Linghe who sensed it, so we dare not take the credit.”

Lu Qingsong and Lu Qingyan replied.

Lu Wangshu then asked her father, “Dad, if Little Bing eats a bit of the Dragon Essence, can he evolve into a Dragon Turtle?”

Though she thought her Spirit Pet was a bit disappointing, after raising it for so many years, she still hoped it could improve.

“The Cold Jade Mysterious Turtle has a trace of the true spirit of the ‘Cambrian Ice Turtle,’ but it’s hard for it to evolve into a Dragon Turtle. If consumed recklessly, it could contaminate its bloodline.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head.

“However, using this Dragon Essence to nurture a Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon would be effective. Later, you can pick a pure-blooded Black Water Flood Dragon as a Spirit Pet mount.”

Lu Changsheng could tell that the essence of this Dragon Essence was very similar to the Black Dragon Scripture.

It would greatly benefit the cultivation of Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapons.

“Thank you, Father!”

The group responded joyfully.

After finishing up, Lu Changsheng took Lu Wangshu, Lu Linghe, and Lu Mengchan back to the City Lord’s Manor.

Upon hearing about the opportunity they had come across, Lu Miaoge, Ling Zixiao, and tte others were all amazed.

Who could’ve thought their children would encounter such a significant opportunity?

Lu Changsheng called over Hong Lian and used the Profound Mirror of the Dao to analyze the techniques and secret arts in the Zhong Family Ancestor’s jade slip.

The Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique was indeed from Yin Guangji’s Storage Ring and was flawless.

However, many of the secret techniques had hidden flaws that could cause irreversible damage when used.

“As expected, a Golden Core cultivator wouldn’t submit so easily.”

“Moreover, according to the jade slip from Meng Wuhen, Star Sea isn’t divided into righteous and demonic paths; it’s chaotic with many tribulations. For someone to defect from the Black Dragon Sect and steal the Dragon Essence, they couldn’t have been simple.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself.

After organizing the techniques from the jade slip, Lu Changsheng held the Dragon Essence in his hand, extracting the essence with his tremendous spiritual energy.

“Roar, roar, roar—”

Instantly, the Dragon Essence became violent, and the shadow of a Black Dragon appeared, baring its fangs and claws, intimidating all who witnessed it.

“Just a mere aura, and you dare act up!”

Lu Changsheng snorted, knowing that this Dragon Essence still contained a sliver of the Black Dragon’s will. He directly suppressed it with his spiritual energy.

Moments later, a strand of black-red crystalline silk appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

“This essence should benefit those who cultivate the Black Dragon Scripture or Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique, but it’s too violent for Foundation Establishment cultivators to handle.”

“But if this Dragon Essence is diluted into thousands of portions, it would be manageable.”

Lu Changsheng thought to himself while observing the black-red crystalline strand.

He then called over his daughter, Lu Linghe, and placed the strand in her mouth, urging her to begin her cultivation.

“Boom, boom, boom—”

Indeed, his daughter’s Black Dragon Scripture began circulating madly, as if she had consumed miraculous pills.

During this process, the Black Dragon Essence also began refining her body, meridians, and even tempering her Dao Foundation.

“As expected of Fourth-Tier Black Dragon Essence, even if it’s just one-thousandth of its essence, its effects are astonishing.”

Lu Changsheng praised.

After some time, Lu Linghe opened her bright eyes, which now seemed to flicker with traces of a Black Dragon’s shadow.

“Linghe, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Lu Changsheng asked out of concern.

Using his Divine Sense, he didn’t notice any issues with his daughter.

“Dad, I feel full of power!”

Lu Linghe tilted her head and clenched her fists, saying so.

“Alright, go play.”

Lu Changsheng waved her off playfully.

“Okay.”

Lu Linghe didn’t bother asking what had just happened, knowing her dad would never harm her.

“Wait.”

Lu Changsheng suddenly recalled that her previous cultivation in the Vajra Ming Wang Technique’s body refinement chapter was aligning perfectly, and he called her back.

“What is it, Dad?” The lively and cute girl turned back with a smile.

“Take this bead. When you have time, meditate on it and see if you gain anything.”

Lu Changsheng handed over a Vajra Relic obtained earlier, curious to see if she had any affinity with Buddhism.

“A Buddha bead, it’s so beautiful.”

Lu Linghe exclaimed as she saw the serene and golden relic, her eyes sparkling.

“Don’t lose it. I’m just letting you borrow it for a few days, understand?”

Lu Changsheng reminded his daughter.

He also left a mark on the relic so that even if it were lost, he could find it instantly.

“Dad, don’t worry! I’ll take good care of it.”

Lu Linghe nodded earnestly, taking the relic to play with.

“Hmm.”

Lu Changsheng smiled and continued diluting the Dragon Essence before him.

Five days later.

Lu Changsheng arrived at Dragonfish Island and handed a Storage Bag to Lu Qingyan.

“This is the refined Dragon Essence. Absorb a strand every month; it’ll be beneficial for you.”

“As for these bottles, they contain the diluted Spirit Liquid of the Dragon Essence. Use it to cultivate your Black Water Flood Dragon Dao Weapon. Pour half a bottle into the Fish Farm every month.”

Lu Changsheng instructed his daughter.

“Thank you, Dad.”

Lu Qingyan happily accepted.

“The Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique is flawless and safe for cultivation. Study it thoroughly when you have time.”

“I’ve also placed a bottle of Incense of Concentration and a bottle of Tranquil Spirit Pills in the Storage Bag to help with your cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng added, feeling confident that because she had cultivated the Black Dragon Scripture, Lu Qingyan would also successfully cultivate the Blackwater Transformation Dragon Technique.

And since the techniques were similar, cultivating them together could provide complementary benefits.

“Rest assured, Dad. I won’t disappoint you!”

Lu Qingyan replied sincerely, filled with determination.

Later, Lu Changsheng met his son Lu Qingsong and gave him a reward as encouragement.

After finishing, Lu Changsheng ventured deep into Da Mengze to find his Splitting-Sea Profound Whale.

Half a month later, he finally saw his Splitting-Sea Profound Whale.

It was hiding in the deep sea, its pitch-black skin marred by numerous scars.

“You said you reached the Sea Eye and drove away the Third-Tier Demon King that occupied it.”

“But two years ago, it found a Dao-companion that’s close to the Fourth-Tier in power, and they drove you away instead.”

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

He hadn’t expected the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale to have sought him out so long ago.

But it got no response, so it had been resting here.

“Get some rest. Later, I’ll go reclaim the territory for you.”

Lu Changsheng and Meng Wuhen had painstakingly killed the Deep Sea Whale King to secure the Sea Eye.

Now that he had given it to his Spirit Pet as a nest, it was simply outrageous that it was taken by a demon.

So Lu Changsheng planned to go, with Hong Lian, to help the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale reclaim its territory.

With himself, Hong Lian, Golden-Winged Roc, and Splitting-Sea Profound Whale, dealing with a peak Third-Tier Demon King and a near-Fourth-Tier Demon King would still be challenging.

Unless he decided to use a Spirit Downfall Talisman or suffer some losses.

“Roar!”

The Splitting-Sea Profound Whale let out a low roar, expressing its gratitude.

“Does this Dragon Essence help you?”

Lu Changsheng asked as he handed over a third of the Dragon Essence to the Splitting-Sea Profound Whale.

Seeing the Dragon Essence, the whale’s eyes filled with desire.

Lu Changsheng didn’t hesitate, tossing the Dragon Essence into the whale’s massive maw.

The Splitting-Sea Profound Whale swallowed it, indicating it needed time to digest.

It then spat out a treasure trove of rare crystal minerals, celestial materials, and spirit herbs it had stored in its stomach, offering them to Lu Changsheng.

These were items Lu Changsheng had previously instructed it to collect.

If it found any rare Natural Treasures deep in the sea and could use them, it should keep them.

“Not bad, not bad.”

Lu Changsheng was quite satisfied with the collection, which likely held a value of a million Spirit Stones, appreciating the whale even more.

After all, a Spirit Pet who could generate wealth for its master was truly a good Spirit Pet.

If he didn’t need the Golden-Winged Roc for transportation, he’d consider letting it go earn some wealth too.

“Rest well here, and contact me if anything happens.”

To ensure the whale could reach him even if the Sun-Moon Token failed, he gave it a Yin-Yang Communication Talisman.

Back at the City Lord’s Manor, Lu Changsheng saw his daughter Lu Linghe and asked if she had noticed anything from the Buddha bead.

“Dad, I seemed to see an old golden man chanting sutras.”

Lu Linghe immediately replied.

“???”

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

Does his daughter really have an affinity with Buddhism?

“What sutra was being chanted?”

Lu Changsheng asked right away.

Lu Linghe thought hard for a moment, then shook her head, “I don’t know, I couldn’t understand it.”

.

Lu Changsheng fell silent, then asked, “How do you feel? Any discomfort?”

“Not at all! In fact, since I’ve had this Buddha bead, I sleep even better.”

Lu Linghe answered joyfully, full of innocence.

Then she seemed to remember something, “Oh, Dad, the Vajra Technique you taught me is progressing faster!”

The Vajra Ming Wang Technique consists of the Vajra Technique and Ming Wang Technique.

“Show me your cultivation.”

Lu Changsheng raised an eyebrow.

His daughter immediately sat cross-legged, holding the Vajra Relic, and began cultivating seriously, a faint golden glow appearing on her delicate skin.

At the same time, the Vajra Relic in her palm emitted a faint Buddha light, accompanied by barely audible Buddhist chants, giving her delicate face a solemn and sacred aura.

“This Vajra Relic boosts the cultivation of Buddhist Techniques. No, it’s due to Linghe as well.”

“When she holds the relic, she quickly centers her mind, and the Buddha light illuminates her spiritual platform, making her cultivation efficient!”

Lu Changsheng observed his daughter, realizing what was happening.

“Does this mean Linghe is a rare Buddhist cultivation genius?”

Lu Changsheng was speechless.

Although he had no bias against Buddhist cultivation.

But the thought that his cute daughter was a natural talent for Buddhist cultivation left him with mixed feelings.

“In that case, should Linghe switch from the Black Dragon Scripture to the Ming Wang Technique and focus on the Vajra Ming Wang Technique?”

Lu Changsheng pondered his daughter’s future.

Although the Black Dragon Scripture had some compatibility with Lu Linghe, it paled in comparison to the Vajra Ming Wang Technique.

After all, his daughter’s progress with the Vajra Technique was astonishing.

Lu Changsheng decided not to rush into a decision and planned to observe further after his current tasks.

“Hong Lian, keep an eye on Baixi.”

That day, Lu Changsheng called Hong Lian over, instructing her to watch Lu Baixi’s breakthrough while he went to refine the Condensing Crystal Pill.

“Huh? Husband, you’re refining pills yourself?”

Hong Lian was slightly stunned, surprised.

She had seen Lu Changsheng refine pills before.

His skills were so masterful that he seemed like a pill refiner who had been practicing for decades.

But she had never seen him refine Third-Tier pills.

She thought he would ask her to refine the Condensing Crystal Pill.

Unexpectedly, Lu Changsheng decided to do it himself, while she watched over Lu Baixi’s breakthrough.

“Yes, I’ve been studying the process a bit recently. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

Lu Changsheng replied with a smile.

“Alright~”

Although she was a bit skeptical, thinking that refining the Condensing Crystal Pill couldn’t be that simple.

Since Lu Changsheng said so, Hong Lian naturally responded gently.

Lu Changsheng then went to the alchemy hall at the City Lord’s Manor, took out his alchemy furnace, and began refining the Condensing Crystal Pill.

“It’s a pity that we don’t have a Third-Tier Spirit Plant Cultivator; otherwise, we could use the Wanling Bottle to generate spores from this Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma and grow seeds from it.”

Lu Changsheng opened a green jade box in his hand, looking at the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma inside, sighing inwardly.

A Spirit Plant Cultivator could not only cultivate spirit plants and herbs faster, but they could also nurture seeds from rare spirit plants and herbs, infusing them with life force.

The Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma was one of these.

But the Lu Family didn’t have a Third-Tier Spirit Plant Cultivator.

Even Zhao Qingqing, who had the highest spirit plant insight, was only a Second-Tier Upper grade, far from reaching Third-Tier.

Moreover, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma was so rare that even ordinary Third-Tier Spirit Plant Cultivators wouldn’t dare to attempt seed nurturing. A minor mistake could damage the herb.

“Besides, the Jade Marrow Golden Ganoderma takes 800 years to mature. Using the Wanling Bottle to speed up its growth isn’t worth it; it’s better to cultivate several Five Elements Fruit Trees instead.”

Lu Changsheng shook his head, took a deep breath, exhaling slowly before adding herbs one by one into the alchemy furnace.

Half a month later.

The Alchemy Hall.

Lu Changsheng was fully focused on the purple-gold alchemy furnace before him, forming hand seals to control the heat precisely.

Time passed little by little.

During this process, Lu Changsheng didn’t dare to be distracted in the slightest.

Who knows how long had passed.

“Buzz, buzz, buzz—”

The thirty-six Golden Crow Divine Birds on the alchemy furnace trembled, releasing tendrils of medicinal fragrance.

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng immediately cast a series of techniques.

As the furnace’s spiritual energy surged, radiance filled the room. A firm voice called out, “Open!”

“Boom!”

The alchemy furnace lid suddenly opened with a thunderous sound. Rolling hot steam soared upwards, resembling the cries of divine Golden Crow birds—exciting and pleasing to hear.

“Hah!”

Lu Changsheng let out a light shout, performing several hand seals before gently raising his palm to take the Condensing Crystal Pills from the alchemy furnace into his hand.

As the spiritual light gradually dissipated, three Condensing Crystal Pills appeared. Their colors were clear and lustrous, full and smooth, with a fragrance that filled the air.

“As expected, refining this third-grade pill was much more challenging. Although I succeeded in producing three pills, only two are premium quality, and just one is standard. Not even one is of top grade.”

Lu Changsheng let out a slight sigh.

He understood that refining pills of this level and expecting each one to be of the highest quality was an extremely difficult task, unlike in previous years.

But beyond his pill-refining skills, the quality of the spiritual herbs and the control of the furnace fire also played a significant role.

His Thunder-Reinforced Dragon Flame wasn’t suitable for refining pills, while the Earth Fire fell short in some aspects as well.

Moreover, the spiritual herbs for the Condensing Crystal Pill were hard to collect. There wasn’t much room for selection as long as their quality and age were adequate, which also had some impact.

“However, three pills are more than enough.”

“With these three Condensing Crystal Pills, I won’t have to worry about them for a while.”

Lu Changsheng exhaled lightly, consoling himself.

For his first time refining this pill, producing three, with two being premium and one standard, would be shocking and sensational if it became known throughout the Jiang Kingdom’s cultivation world.

Yet, for Lu Changsheng, it was just barely satisfactory.
