Chapter 486 - 648 : new pill formula

"Many thanks for the favor of all elders. Although Yuan's qualifications are still shallow, I will do my utmost to fulfill the duties of Great Elder. Now, I propose that the Immortal Martial Alliance establish the position of Supreme Elder.

"Any cultivator at Foundation Establishment completion may apply for this position. If someone in the alliance becomes Golden Core, they may automatically become an Immortal Martial Alliance Supreme Elder.

"A Supreme Elder has status equal to the Great Elder. Five times each year, they may directly appoint or dismiss personnel below the positions of alliance leader, deputy alliance leader, pavilion master, and deputy pavilion master.

"They may read all texts collected by the alliance and receive a certain supply of resources every year, but they may not gift these to disciples outside the Immortal Martial Alliance.

"This position is a leisurely position and has no deliberative authority!"

As everyone fell into thought after hearing this, Jianyi Mingyuan said again, "In addition, I again propose that my father become the Immortal Martial Alliance's first Supreme Elder."

Clearly, establishing the position of Supreme Elder was only meant to display reverence and status.

The other families' elders also did not reject Jianyi Mingyuan's first proposal, and they all voted to approve it.

Wentian had not expected this either and shook his head with a laugh.

That day,

News that Jianyi Mingyuan had become the second Great Elder of the Immortal Martial Alliance, and that Wentian had been promoted to Supreme Elder, was conveyed to the branch alliances of the various commanderies.

It caused no small commotion.

Immediately afterward, not long after, news spread that Jianyi Mingyuan had also taken over the position of Great Elder of the Jianyi family.

Clearly, the Jianyi family's power was beginning to shift.

The only thing everyone did not expect was that the one inheriting the Great Elder position would be Jianyi Mingyuan, not Wentian's eldest son, Jianyi Mingwei.

In terms of reputation, prestige, and strength, Jianyi Mingwei's title of Arrow Demon had spread far and wide outside.

Jianyi Mingyuan, by contrast, was much more low-key.

After becoming Great Elder, he stepped down from the position of Talisman Pavilion Master and recommended the deputy pavilion master, a Foundation Establishment elder of the Wang family. He was a talisman master.

This could also be considered a promotion.

As for the deputy pavilion master position, it was held by Li Hongyi.

Li Yuanhua and his sister both had the level of talisman masters, but Li Hongyi's talisman-making attainments were higher.

There were not many other changes.

In the blink of an eye, three months passed.

Wentian had also stayed in Moonlit Academy for three months.

He occasionally observed Ye Fan's conduct, comprehended the withering-flourishing divine ability every day, and also spent time deriving new pill formulas.

The focus was the new Foundation Establishment Pill formula.

Now that the Jianyi family's forces had expanded a step further and ruled eleven commanderies of Great Wei, they had gathered the spirit herbs of the various commanderies.

In earlier years, he had been busy cultivating, and this matter had been set aside. Now that he restarted it, he had gained some direction.

For something like the Jade Mushroom Pill, it basically relied purely on thousand-year-old medicinal strength to increase the chance of Foundation Establishment.

But true pill formulas relied on the combination of many spirit herbs, using changes in medicinal properties to multiply the effects several times, or even ten times, thereby reaching a qualitative change.

Wentian gradually increased his investment in the research of the new Foundation Establishment Pill.

Spring and summer passed.

Wentian finally researched the pill formula.

What surprised him was that this pill formula was actually similar in effect to the Jade Mushroom Pill.

A low-grade pill increased the chance of Foundation Establishment by ten percent, a mid-grade pill by fifteen percent, and a high-grade pill by twenty percent.

This pill could be consumed multiple times, and the effects could stack, but the first pill would definitely have the strongest effect. The further one went, the weaker the effect would become.

The materials for this pill formula were only equal in value to True Essence Pills.

Several of the spirit herbs were specialties of various commanderies.

If this pill formula appeared in the world, it would be enough to cause a world-shaking change.

Wentian did not plan to let this kind of strategic pill appear in the world for now.

After the next era, when Wentian truly became a Golden Core aristocratic family, or even a hegemon of the three lands, he would then make it public.

For now, the Jianyi family would collect the materials, refine them into pills, and then reward some people in the Immortal Martial Alliance with great contributions.

Or they would take them to the auctions held by the Jianyi Chamber of Commerce and auction them.

Now, the Jianyi Auction had already changed from once every ten years to once every three years.

Wentian still named this pill Jade Mushroom Pill. Then he secretly had the Jianyi Chamber of Commerce collect the corresponding materials. Of course, to prevent anyone from noticing, the chamber of commerce collected a great variety and quantity of spirit herbs.

Even an alchemy grandmaster would find it very hard to discover the materials required for the Jade Mushroom Pill among them.

Even if they discovered them, there were still countless variations in the refining of the medicinal ingredients, the order of merging the medicinal liquids, the fire control of each step, the timing of pill condensation, and so on.

Wentian took time to return to Dongxi.

"Mingqing, come to Bihan Pond and find me."

Jianyi Mingqing was meditating in the Pill Refining Hall. Wentian's voice rang in his ears, and he immediately opened his eyes. Without hesitation, he hurried toward Bihan Pond.

"Father, what have you called this child here for?"

Wentian swept a glance over him and smiled faintly. "Not bad. Middle stage of the sixth level of Foundation Establishment. In another year or two, my Jianyi family will have another late Foundation Establishment cultivator."

A short while later, he said again, "I called you here this time to give you a new pill formula. Take a look."
