Market.

After Fu Liantao and Ban Zhihe returned, they couldn’t help feeling a little gloomy. After all, they had missed the chance to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill this time, and they might not have another opportunity in this lifetime.

After all, the Three Sects and Six Orders would not frequently sell Foundation Establishment Pills. Comparatively speaking, the cultivators of their generation had already been incredibly lucky to encounter the Three Sects and Six Orders selling Foundation Establishment Pills.

Actually, if Pei Shiping had failed to break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm as they did, they wouldn’t be so upset. After all, if everyone was in the same situation, there would be disappointment, but not such unbearable pain.

The key to their being able to jointly create the black market to overcome difficulties was their shared bond through thick and thin. This very bond also illustrated the depth of their relationship.

But why must you alone prosper!? Why can’t it be me who succeeds in the Foundation Establishment!?

This is simply human nature.

In times of adversity, while others hope you do well, they also hope you don’t do too well. Besides, their relationship with Pei Shiping couldn’t be the same after their experience with the auction of Foundation Establishment Pills.

After all, it is rare to find someone in life who genuinely wants the best for you, regardless of their circumstances. Even among close relatives, such people are scarce and precious.

At this moment, Fu Liantao and his partner couldn’t help but miss the Qi Cultivation Ninth Layer alchemist they met in the black market. Since he could refine Foundation Establishment Pills, there was a high probability he had already reached the Foundation Establishment.

After all, would an alchemist who could refine Foundation Establishment Pills be short of them themselves?

With this thought, they grew more regretful. If only they had tried to learn more about this mysterious alchemist and kept a closer eye on his whereabouts, perhaps they could have succeeded in reaching the Foundation Establishment by now?

However, there is no medicine for regret in this world. At this point, their lifespan was running out, and they had nothing left to lose.

Over the years, they had made their preparations, even collecting seven sets of the Spiritual Grass needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill.

This was their plan for when their lifespans would be nearing their end. But now that they had reached this point, they had no other choice.

The first step now was to find a suitable alchemist to refine Foundation Establishment Pills for them. It might be the last gamble they’d take in their lives.

After settling their resolve, Fu Liantao and his partner didn’t hesitate. After investigating the alchemists in the Market, they set their sights on Wang Kuo, a Qi Cultivation Eighth Level alchemist.

Wang Kuo was already the highest-ranking alchemist known in the Market. However, his expression turned uncertain when he learned what they wanted from him.

He could see their intentions, but he was afraid that if he failed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, they might take some desperate actions.

After all, Wang Kuo himself had no confidence in refining the Foundation Establishment Pill. If it were possible for a Loose Cultivation Alchemist to easily refine one, why would these practitioners still be struggling?

However, facing the two of them, he knew he couldn’t refuse their request without consequences. He might never be able to leave the Market again if he did.

What kind of cultivator in the Market is the most terrifying?

Those with their lifespan about to run out are the ones to be afraid of. These cultivators act without any restraint, so it’s best to not offend them.

Moreover, he also thought of Liang Sheng. After all, the theory of refining high-level elixirs to enhance alchemy skills resonated with him as well. With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

However, he thought of Liang Sheng’s unyielding spirit in alchemy and made a request. He wanted Liang Sheng to assist him as a secondary alchemist.

Naturally, Fu Liantao and his partner were aware of the market’s “Pill Maniac” reputation. If not for Liang Sheng’s current Qi Cultivation Fifth Realm, they might have chosen him to refine the pills for them.

So upon hearing Wang Kuo’s request, they didn’t hesitate, directly accompanying Wang Kuo to ask for Liang Sheng’s assistance. Liang Sheng was bewildered when he heard their request.

Of course, Liang Sheng flatly refused their request.

What a joke! If he agreed once, he’d be setting a precedent, opening a door to endless troubles.

After all, if he’d help Wang Kuo, how could he refuse others?

He was the spiritual leader of the Market’s alchemists, “Master Chen”!

Fu Liantao and his partner didn’t expect this outcome and thought their compensation wasn’t enough. Willing to give up everything for the Foundation Establishment Pill, they doubled the reward.

But Liang Sheng still refused outright, and Wang Kuo didn’t press any further. After saying goodbye to Liang Sheng, he watched Fu Liantao and his partner leave and couldn’t help but shake his head.

The two characters ‘luck’…

Cannot be sought.

When he initially got the Foundation Establishment Pill recipe and refined the Foundation Establishment Pills, he gave them to Pei Shiping, Fu Liantao, and Ban Zhihe.

However, the results for the three were drastically different. Pei Shiping had already broken through and was now the undisputed number one Loose Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment.

As for Fu Liantao and his partner, they still struggled to find success. Now, they were making their last-ditch effort, and one could not help but sigh.

Nevertheless, Liang Sheng remained true to his principles, refusing to get involved in anything unrelated to his own cultivation and seeking protection of the Dao.

Fu Liantao and his partner were accompanied by Wang Kuo to make pills in a secluded place. Word of this couldn’t be kept from the well-informed, and Pei Shiping knew about their actions from the start.

“Shi Liang, watch your two uncles closely and don’t let them be disturbed. If they succeed in refining the pills, notify me immediately..”
