Qi Yuan's eyes could see hidden information.
Instantly, he identified the flaws in this pill formula.
Moreover, the method to improve the pill formula emerged in a moment.
Of course, this improvement was not the optimal solution.
If he revisited the pill formula tomorrow, a new improvement method would surface.
The effect of the improvement would also be better.
However, he could only examine the hidden information of a same object once a day.
Thus, the Seven-Color Refining Fire Technique he practiced underwent continuous adjustments.
Even so, the Seven-Color Refining Fire Technique still had many issues.
"The Yang Yuan Pill formula has many problems," Qi Yuan responded directly.
Zhuge Miao looked expectantly, "Please enlighten me, fellow disciple."
"Replace the zhu huang with ligustrum."
"Ligustrum?" Zhuge Miao was somewhat perplexed.
Because what he wanted to ask most was why Qi Yuan directly revised the pill formula instead of explaining where it fell short.
However, he recalled their last exchange, and Qi Yuan's out-of-box thinking still amazed him.
At that time, Qi Yuan had helped him a lot.
Moreover, he was the one who actively sought Qi Yuan's help, so any complaints had to be suppressed.
Just then, Zhuge Miao noticed something and said, "Fellow disciple Qi Yuan, please wait, I have a message."
"Is it a phone call?" Qi Yuan was indifferent, "You go ahead."
In the world of cultivation, telephones hadn't been invented, but there were ways of sending messages.
Cultivators could connect with each other via these messages.
However, these messages had distance limitations. The farther the message, the higher the cost.
Moreover, entering certain secret realms meant losing their effectiveness.
As a result, not all cultivators could afford them.
"What's wrong, junior disciple?" Zhuge Miao answered the message in a low voice.
"The pill formula, a complete one, have you found it?"
"Don't bother, don't meddle in this matter."
Answering the message, Zhuge Miao's face initially lit up with joy. However, after hearing his junior disciple's discouragement, he felt a flicker of anger.
He cut off the message and turned to Qi Yuan, calming his mood, "Please continue, fellow disciple."
"The missing ingredient is yang gu."
"However, yang gu is characteristically tied to the yang, which creates some conflicts. Replace it with Small Taihua instead for a better result," Qi Yuan concluded, stretching his hand out, "Where is the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object?"
Zhuge Miao was still digesting Qi Yuan's advice when he heard him request for the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object. He hurriedly presented a jade bamboo.
The jade bamboo was purple, resembling a violet jade, with only a hint of white at the joints.
"This is the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo, an eighth-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object."
The Foundation Establishment Spiritual Objects had their hierarchy.
There were lower third-grade, middle third-grade, and upper third-grade.
Above the upper third-grade, there were rumored to be even higher grades.
The higher the grade of the Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, the better the effect, and the greater the potential.
Of course, the world of cultivation was a place of marvels, where miracles could be found everywhere.
Nothing is inevitable.
It wasn't certain that by using a low-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object, one would stay at a certain stage for life.
Every Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object was invaluable.
The eighth-grade was a lower third-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.
Even so, most ordinary Qi Refinement disciples in the Shenguang Sect couldn't afford the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo even if they exhausted all their resources.
Zhuge Miao's ability to use the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo as a reward showed his wealth.
Such was the gap between the chief disciple and ordinary disciples.
Of course, even for Zhuge Miao, parting with the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo would be somewhat painful.
Zhuge Miao continued, "The grade of the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo is slightly low. If fellow disciple Qi Yuan isn't in a hurry, he can gather more spirit stones, combine them with the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo, and trade for a higher-grade Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object."
The Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo, while extremely precious among ordinary disciples, who would use it for Foundation Establishment after reaching the peak of Qi Refinement, would be somewhat inadequate for chief disciples of all peaks.
For example, Zhuge Miao had used a middle third-grade, fifth-grade Seeking Dragon Ruler for his Foundation Establishment.
Qi Yuan accepted the Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo and nodded, "Hmm."
The Purple Crystal Jade Bamboo was not his first choice for a Foundation Establishment Spiritual Object.
Even if he doesn't need it later, he can use it to trade for Spirit Stones.
Although, he is the eldest disciple of the Seven Colored Peak, he's really...impoverished.
Compared to the other chief disciples of other peaks, he's lacking a lot.
"Ah." Zhuge Miao seemed to remember something and said, "Qi Yuan, if you didn't offend your master, you would probably have a medium-level spiritual medicine, even a high-grade Foundation Establishment spiritual medicine, and be able to step into the Foundation Establishment Realm."
Zhuge Miao's words carried a tinge of regret.
He felt that Qi Yuan was really audacious, daring to offend even the Peak Master of Seven Colored Peak.
You must know, even the Sect Master of Shenguang Sect holds immense respect for the Peak Master of Seven Colored Peak.
Zhuge Miao had once heard from his master that the Shenguang Sect originally only had four peaks, but after Ruan Yixi came, the Shenguang Sect added one peak, named the Seven Colored Peak.
This peak has a history of a thousand years.
This implies that the Peak Master of Seven Colored Peak might have lived for a thousand years.
A lifespan of a thousand years should at least belong to the Immortalized Realm.
A person of such strength could walk sideways in a big city.
Qi Yuan chose Ruan Yixi as his master, how thick is the thigh he hugged?
As a result, audacious Qi Yuan angered Ruan Yixi.
All resources were cut off from Qi Yuan.
The situation with Qi Yuan was utterly miserable.
If Zhuge Miao was in his shoes, he would've been bawling and begging for forgiveness in front of his master.
But Qi Yuan, he doesn't even think about apologizing.
However, thinking about Qi Yuan being a cultivator of the obsessively devoted lineage, it's easier to understand.
The cultivators of this lineage are unbridled and eccentric.
Qi Yuan heard Zhuge Miao's words and his eyes softened: "I didn't say anything wrong, so why should I apologize?"
Zhuge Miao felt a cold sweat running down his back.
"Younger brother Qi Yuan, let's stop talking about it!"
He was afraid that Qi Yuan would make another outrageous move and offend the high and pure fairy of the Seven Colored Peak.
If that happened and it implicated him, it would be really bad.
Qi Yuan smiled: "All of you are afraid of Ruan Yixi, but I'm not, because she's my... "
"Don't say it!" Zhuge Miao was frightened and quickly stopped Qi Yuan.
Otherwise, once the fairy on Seven Colored Peak got pissed off, he wouldn't have good days ahead.
Qi Yuan didn't say anything more and bid farewell to Zhuge Miao. He took his kitchen knife and continued to wander around.
Zhuge Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
Luckily, nothing happened.
But then, a tense voice reached his ears: "Senior Brother, did you make the trade?"
Xu Langhu, clothed in plain green clothes with a gourd fastened at his waist, was hurrying over.
As he spoke, he took out a yellowed piece of paper.
"This is a potion recipe that I picked up in the market today. It matches the Yuan Yang Pill you got from the secret realm, so I hurriedly contacted you, Senior Brother."
Xu Langhu handed Zhuge Miao the recipe and upon noticing that the Purple Crystal Bamboo on Zhuge Miao's waist was gone, he lamented.
"Senior Brother, we already have the potion recipe here, why did you have to trade with Qi Yuan?
Qi Yuan is not from our Divine Medicine Peak, what capability does he have to help you understand the recipe?
He probably hasn't left yet, I will catch up to him now and get the Purple Crystal Bamboo back!"
Xu Langhu rambled on, oblivious to the growing gloom on Zhuge Miao's face.
"What right do you have to judge my trade with Qi Yuan?
Moreover, even if Qi Yuan didn't help me, what about it?
I am willing to regard him."
Previously, the message Zhuge Miao received was from Xu Langhu.
At that time, Zhuge Miao already knew that his younger brother had the complete recipe, he had a chance to cancel the trade, but he didn't.
"Senior Brother..." Xu Langhu's voice trembled a little, "I was worried that you would return empty-handed.
Luckily, I got the complete potion recipe.
I owe my life to you, Senior Brother, so I am presenting you with this recipe."
He didn't mention Qi Yuan anymore.
In his eyes, how can Qi Yuan understand the potion recipe?
He has been learning medicine in the Divine Medicine Peak for ten years and couldn't complete the recipe, Qi Yuan can?
Zhuge Miao took the recipe: "Let me take a look, compare it with what Qi Yuan said, and refine a few batches of Yuan Yang Pills."
"This is a bit of a waste of medicinal ingredients." Xu Langhu muttered, obviously, he felt that using Qi Yuan's method would not yield any Yuan Yang Pills.
