In the past nights, he had been learning alchemy.
He wasnāt sure if it was a lack of talent, but despite studying the manual, he could only clumsily throw herbs into the pill furnace and produce one or two mid-grade pills.
Luo Yaxuan also knew he was too anxious.
Many people spent years learning this skill and didnāt see results without a few years of study.
For him to have such results within a short span of a dozen days after obtaining the manual should be considered quite an achievement.
Luo Yaxuan hadnāt told his father about studying alchemy, feeling that having an additional skill didnāt require sharing with family or outsiders, and it could provide him with protection when necessary.
As a young heir, he wouldnāt need to use this ability to work for others.
But it would be different when he reached the Saint Sect; then, he must have a skill to perform missions there, or else how could he attain a higher status?
Luo Yaxuan placed the herbs for the Spirit Supplement Pill into the furnace and operated it according to the steps outlined in the manual.
He felt that this attempt went much smoother than the previous ones and wondered if it was because his cultivation level had improved?
With this notion stirring excitement in his heart, he suppressed the thrill and waited for the pills to form.
The scent of pills wafted from the alchemy furnace, signaling the pills were ready.
He opened the furnace and found three pills inside, one of which was a high-grade pill.
Seeing such results, he couldnāt help but feel a surge of excitement; indeed, improving oneās cultivation level was beneficial for alchemy.
Lai Jianlin brought his family members and Mo Wen back to the Lai Family.
Naturally, his first visit was to his father and relatives, sharing the experiences of the past half month and bringing them a surprise.
With such wealth on him, Mo Wen could no longer suppress the urge to quickly improve his cultivation level.
The two pills he had received earlier were somewhat reluctantly consumed during that half month, feeling that cultivating with energy stones was more potent than taking the Spirit Supplement Pill.
Now having received two bottles of twenty Supreme Elixirs each, possessing such tremendous wealth, he was not as reluctant to use them.
After discussing briefly with Lai Jianlin, he went to previously used room in Lai Jianlinās courtyard for a two-day seclusion.
Lai Jianlin let his senior brother do as he pleased.
Being able to obtain so many Supreme Elixirs without having to honor his family like he did meant that his senior brother would naturally use them for leveling up.
He envied his senior brother but didnāt have it in him to ask his senior to honor his family or to scheme and steal the Supreme Elixirs from his friend.
Lai Jianlin felt that the Saint Master possessed too much wealth.
Even if he needed to undertake missions and seek rewards, he would not resort to robbery for resources.
Mo Wen entered the room and quietly activated the formation.
Ever since getting to know Lai Jianlin, his cultivation had progressed from the Foundation Establishment Initial Stage to Mid Foundation Establishment within a few months by exchanging resources with his junior brother.
This achievement already made him very happy.
However, upon coming to rely on Lai Jianlin, he realized at his age, many younger than him had higher cultivation levels, especially those from large families.
This time, during the missions with the younger and older participants, aside from the women, his cultivation level was at the bottom.
He knew he had to work even harder.
Seeing others with women in love, pairing off, or like the Saint Master, surrounded by many women, symbolized status and ability.
Mo Wen could only sigh inwardly, yet he had never thought his abilities so weak, without much money, he would be disdained even by a wife.
Naturally lacking the looks to live off a woman, being a kept man seen as a coward was untenable for him.
To be unable to seek a wife and solo manage to feed one meant a full house ā that was his current state of mind.
How to bring back a wife to meet his family and bring honor to his ancestors was years unknown.
Mo Wen knew his family must have longed for him over the years.
But he had neither money nor his wife and children with him; having been away for so many years, returning empty-handed would be a true disgrace.
With great care, he first took out the bottle containing the two Supreme Elixirs he had obtained on his first success.
He cherished the bottle as he opened it and poured out one pill, squinting his eyes as he swallowed it, savoring the sensation of Spiritual Energy entering his body.
He didnāt know how others consumed Supreme Elixirs, but now that he had so many, he also wanted to indulge just this once.
So, he opened another bottle and poured out another pill.
As he ate it, he could feel the powerful Spiritual Energy from the previous pill coursing through his body, igniting a surge of energy from within.
He always felt like his body was being inflated like a balloon with Spiritual Energy, as if it might burst at any moment.
Mo Wen endured the sensation of his body nearly exploding, forcing himself to circulate his Cultivation Technique to expand every acupoint and meridian with the Spiritual Energy, an uncomfortable experience that made breathing difficult.
The path of cultivation not only requires enduring loneliness but also tolerating pain.
He was aware of this, so suffering meant nothing; as long as he could withstand this moment, a bright future lay ahead.
After feeling his meridians expand, it seemed that the Spiritual Energy began to store itself within them.
Gradually, his body felt less agonized, and he began to slim down.
He then circulated his Cultivation Technique, channeling the Spiritual Energy in his meridians to break through the barrier of the Foundation Establishment Late Stage.
As time ticked away, and while assaulting the barrier, his mind was replenished by the Nourishing Soul Pill, seeming more agile.
The previously sluggish mind, after consuming the pill, improved; he felt as if a mental block had been removed, making him slightly smarter.
Mo Wen had no time for surprise; he focused all his energy on breaking through the barrier, unaware of how much time had passed.
The once gluttonous eater ignored his appetite while wholeheartedly practicing his cultivation.
Lai Jianlin went to meet with his father, grandfather, and other relatives like his mother, grandmother, and some members of the family.
When they saw their elders, they would pass on good news and valuable items.
When the family saw the two bottles in Lai Jianlinās hands, each containing 20 pills, they were all thrilled.
Grandfather Lai was the most excited of all, believing at his age that he was ready for the grave.
But after his grandson had previously returned with pills that enhanced his cultivation, it instilled even greater ambition in him.
Each time the young people talked of going out on missions, the old patriarch wanted to accompany them, but he also knew as the ancestral elder, it was his responsibility to provide stability for the family.
āSon, are these Supreme Elixirs given to you by the Saint Master?ā Family Head Lai asked excitedly, his eyes shining as he looked at the pill bottles in his sonās hands.
āMhm, Father and the rest of the family can divide these.
I still have two more pills on me.
Everyone on this mission received such benefits!ā
Lai Jianlin noticed that the hair of his grandfather and grandmother, which had been somewhat white, had turned completely black, and they both looked much younger.
From an age where they would have been in their sixties or seventies, they now appeared to be only in their thirties, similar in appearance to his father and mother ā like siblings or in-laws.
As for his own parents, who were in their forties or fifties, they now looked to be only in their thirties, like his contemporaries.
Facing such favorable changes in his family, Lai Jianlin saw that their Lai Family was soon to be more than a second-rate family, ambitiously striving for first-rate status.
His father and the rest of the family probably thought the same, didnāt they?
āHahaha, with these Supreme Elixirs, our family, all of us will grow stronger.
Who says we canāt become a first-rate family?ā
Ambition was evident on Family Head Laiās face, and his family members agreed with his thoughts.
āGood, good.
Now that old man from the Huang Family, will he dare to bully our grandson?ā
Grandfather Lai still remembered how Lai Jianlin had almost been killed by someone from the Huang Family on a previous occasion and as the elder, he had yet to settle the score with them.
Lai Jianlin felt the same way; that Huang Family in Immortal Lord City was nothing but scum.
Right now, their primary goal was to fortify their family, and they hadnāt had the chance to deal with those degenerates.
āI heard the Huang Family has become more brazen lately, many people have been robbed, but thereās no evidence linking them.
There are pressures from above suggesting it must be the doing of one of the larger families.ā Family Head Lai shared some of the official attitudes.
