Chapter 247: Collaboration, Foundation Pill Formula Already in the Formation

"Junior Brother Lu, please wait!"

As Lu Xuan summoned a spiritual crane to leave the transmission hall, a gentle voice reached him from behind.

He turned to see the yellow-robed woman he had met in the side hall smiling at him.

"Sister Guan."

After a brief conversation earlier, Lu Xuan learned that the woman in yellow was named Guan Wan, at the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, and skilled in alchemy.

Approaching, Guan Wan revealed a slight smile on her elegant and calm face.

"Junior Brother Lu, I've heard about the spiritual plant teachings you gave today."

"Your proficiency in spiritual plant cultivation is truly admirable. The various theories you discussed about nurturing spiritual plants were enlightening, and your on-the-spot solutions for outer disciples' plant-related issues were splendid. I regret not being able to witness it in person."

"Sister Guan is too kind. May I ask what brings Sister to me?" Lu Xuan asked.

After praising Lu Xuan, Guan Wan explained her purpose.

"I've come to discuss the possibility of collaboration with you."

"Collaboration?" Lu Xuan's spirit lifted.

"Yes, Junior Brother Lu, you're aware of my talent in alchemy. I hold a decent position in the sect's alchemy hall, which supplies various pills to a large number of disciples. Consequently, the demand for spiritual plants has reached a terrifying level."

"There are typically three ways to obtain materials. First is when sect disciples venture into secret realms, gather materials, and submit them to the sect in exchange for spirit stones or sword imprints. This method is highly uncertain."

"The second way involves outsourcing the cultivation of medicinal plants to sect disciples who have established families after leaving the sect. This is usually for large quantities of lower-grade plants."

Lu Xuan nodded in understanding.

"The last way is for the alchemists in the hall to cultivate the plants themselves. The alchemy hall has several medicine gardens with varying spiritual energy and soil, allowing targeted cultivation of different spiritual plants."

"For lower-grade plants, tasks can be assigned to outer disciples. For higher-grade ones, due to the increasing difficulty of cultivation, they are usually handled by the alchemists or renowned plant cultivators within the sect."

"I've come to you to establish a cooperative model for such cultivation."

"What specific aspects of collaboration are we talking about?" Lu Xuan became intrigued.

"Alchemy Hall will provide the spiritual seeds and pay you a certain amount of sword imprints as a guaranteed reward. After the plants mature, we will assess the quantity and quality. If the survival rate is high and the quality is excellent, you'll receive additional rewards."

"If the survival rate is too low and the quality is average, there won't be any punishment, but the collaboration will be suspended."

Guan Wan patiently explained.

"Is that so? That sounds like a good deal." Lu Xuan thought to himself.

Gaining spiritual seeds for cultivation, with a guaranteed reward and additional bonuses for successful growth—where else could he find such a good opportunity?

"Thank you for your favor, Sister. I am willing to establish a collaboration with the Alchemy Hall, helping with both the hall and Sister in times of need."

Lu Xuan expressed sincerely.

"Primarily, I want to contribute to the sect. Whether it benefits the light group or not is not important."

He added silently in his mind.

"Good, welcome Junior Brother to join. With your expertise in spiritual plant cultivation, I'm sure you won't disappoint us."

Guan Wan said softly.

"May I ask, Sister, what kind of spiritual plants will it be?" Lu Xuan inquired with curiosity once the preliminary collaboration was established.

"The specific types of spiritual plants will depend on the needs of the alchemy masters in the hall. Additionally, the process needs to go through the Agriculture Hall. Within ten days, you should receive the details."

"If all goes as expected, it should be one of the main materials for crafting Foundation Pills."

"Foundation Pills?" Lu Xuan was surprised by what Guan Wan said.

"As far as I know, the formula for Foundation Pills is a core sect secret. Will entrusting the cultivation of corresponding plants to others pose a risk of leaking the formula?"

He expressed his concern.

"Junior Brother, you worry too much."

"The plants used for Foundation Pill alchemy come in various types, including third-grade and higher. It's not easy to gather all of them."

"Moreover, even if you know the specific types of plants, it doesn't matter much. Alchemy focuses more on the handling of various materials, the proportions, refining techniques, and even the quality of the alchemical fire."

Guan Wan confidently stated.

"Is that so? Then I'll be at ease."

Lu Xuan responded verbally, although he was somewhat skeptical of Guan Wan's words.

For other cultivators, even if they gathered all the necessary plants for crafting Foundation Pills, they wouldn't be able to successfully decipher the formula.

But Lu Xuan was different. By cultivating a crucial plant, he had a high probability of obtaining the Foundation Pill formula from the light group.

After years of cultivating plants, accumulating hundreds or even thousands of light groups, Lu Xuan had already discerned certain patterns. Although the rewards from the light groups appeared random, there was a traceable connection to the category, effects, and attributes of the cultivated plants.

For instance, the Luminescent Fire Grass, used to refine the Restoration Essence Pill, yielded rewards such as the pill and its formula, or even an alternative pill that directly boosted cultivation.

Sword Grass, a natural sword material, yielded rewards like the Gale Thunder Sword Pellet, Sword Embryo, and Flying Sword.

Recently, the matured Flame Fruits, rich in fire attribute spiritual power, provided rewards such as the third-grade artifact Explosive Flame Pearl, the third-grade pill Incineration Pill, the Crimson Lotus Flame, and the manual "Playing with Flames Technique," all related to fire spirits.

Therefore, if he cultivated a spiritual plant crucial for the Foundation Pill, there was a high probability of obtaining the Foundation Pill or even its formula from the light group.

Thinking of this, Lu Xuan's smile grew.

"In that case, Sister Guan, please keep an eye out. If it's confirmed, you can come to my cave residence."

"I usually stay in the cave, cultivating spiritual plants and raising spiritual beasts."

Lu Xuan handed a communication talisman to Guan Wan.

"Sure, I'll bother Junior Brother when the time comes." Guan Wan gladly took the talisman and left directly.

Lu Xuan's lips curled up.

"I've always followed the rules in the sect, never intending to steal such confidential formulas. But unexpectedly, it forced its way into my mind; I couldn't reject it even if I wanted to."

"All major sects' core secrets, including the Foundation Pill formula, are already within the formation."
