"It’s a pity. If the essence of this Middle Grade liquid could completely merge, there would be hope for an Upper Grade." Looking at the two Foundation Establishment Pills, Li Ji’an slightly shook his head.

Casually placing the two Foundation Establishment Pills into the jade bottle, Li Ji’an took out the materials for a second batch of Foundation Establishment Pills.

With his current Divine Sense, and the Spirit Flame of Little Fire Spirit, refining Foundation Establishment Pills was a breeze, and even opening the furnace ten times consecutively would not have any repercussions.

This time, learning from his first experience, he was determined to refine only a single pill when initially refining the essence of the liquid.

Two more months later.

Master Jade Pill, who was researching an Ancient Elixir in the Ancient Tomb, suddenly paused.

It seemed as if mystical sounds were surrounding his ears.

"This is..." Master Jade Pill instinctively glanced at his own Pill Furnace, clearly noting that the properties of several liquid essences had gone awry and failed to merge.

"Hallucinating again?"

However, the mystical sounds around him remained clear.

On the path of Alchemy Dao, if even Low Tier pill medicines can be refined into Upper Grade, there is a cosmic resonance. If refined into Upper Grade, mystical sounds come as celebration.

Moreover, ancient records state that if a Tier Three or higher pill medicine achieves Upper Grade, it may even attract mystical phenomena and Divine Phoenix auspices.

Therefore, Pill Masters hold great expectations for cosmic resonance and mystical music.

In Master Jade Pill’s lifetime of alchemy, cosmic resonance occurred fewer than ten times, all due to Second Tier Upper Grade pill medicines, but he had once been fortunate enough to hear the mystical music of celebration.

That was during his youth, when the previous Peak Master of Pill Cauldron Peak at Biyun Sect, also his teacher, refined a Second Tier Upper Grade Qi Condensing Pill.

At that time, mystical music filled the air, resounding throughout the entire Pill Cauldron Peak, envying countless onlookers.

"No!" His Divine Sense focused, calming the Sea of Consciousness, yet the mystical sounds around him continued to echo, awakening Master Jade Pill suddenly.

In the next moment, he flickered to the top of Pill Cauldron Peak!

Simultaneously, he saw a group of disciples on the peak, all looking upward, listening.

"Is it really mystical music? Has someone refined a Second Tier Upper Grade pill medicine?" Master Jade Pill’s face stiffened, but his heart surged with passion.

"Master Ancestor (Elder), is this the mystical music recorded in the Pill Scripture?" a disciple below asked incredulously.

Master Jade Pill ignored it, suddenly his eyes narrowed, face alight with joy, swiftly flying towards the Outer Peak where Li Ji’an resided.

"It truly succeeded!" Li Ji’an smiled faintly, beckoning with a hand, and a perfectly round, brilliantly glowing Foundation Establishment Pill floated before him.

Normally, after his next Rejuvenation, once his Spirit Root heals the damage from before eight years old, it would surely grow again. Coupled with the next era’s goals and cultivating the Sect’s Foundation Technique aimed directly at the True Inheritor techniques, even an Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill could guarantee a successful Foundation Establishment.

Moreover, during Core Formation in this life, aside from the issue of not cultivating sufficiently dense magical power, it seemed the Foundation Establishment Pill had nearly no effect on Core Formation, which corroborated the views of Sect Elders on the Foundation Establishment First Barrier viewed previously.

However, when consuming an Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill in this life, it was evident that the higher the grade of the Foundation Establishment Pill, the purer the conversion of gaseous magical power to liquid magical power at the Foundation Establishment First Barrier, resulting in more dense and solidified magical power post-establishment.

Furthermore, Li Ji’an now possessed the alchemy skill to refine Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pills, and had the status and strength to uphold this level of alchemy skill, hence the pursuit of Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

Just as he stored away the Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill, Master Jade Pill had arrived outside the array.

Li Ji’an deactivated the array, welcoming him inside.

Toward Master Jade Pill, Li Ji’an did not conceal anything, presenting the still warm Upper Grade Foundation Establishment Pill to him.
