Online Fortune Telling: Your Son Has Another Dad-Chapter 280 - 278: Pill Success
Seven days is not a long time, especially when Lu Heng is deeply immersed in cultivation.
When he opened his eyes again, there was already a trace of joy on his face.
"Finally reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining!"
Not long after breaking through the Eighth-Layer Qi Refining, he took another big step forward to the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining.
Without the late-stage blood cancer debuff, coupled with the assistance of the cultivation puppet, his cultivation speed could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.
"System!"
Lu Heng called out his Celestial Destiny System.
Host: Lu Heng (Daoist Name: Qingfeng)
Age: 18
Status: Normal

Cultivation Techniques: "Taiyi Five Qi Spell", "Heaven-Stepping Cloud Step", "Immortal Talisman Technique", "Supreme Profound Alchemy Technique"

Life Span: 81
The newly updated system panel made Lu Heng very satisfied.
Now that his cultivation has reached the Ninth-Layer Qi Refining, the Foundation Establishment Realm is not far away.
If he breaks through to the Foundation Establishment, then he can refine the Celestial Demon Blood Transformation Divine Needle.
Once the Divine Needle is refined, his self-defense ability will definitely advance to another level!
"It’s time to start the cauldron!"
Lu Heng admired it for a while before remembering that there was still a scene left to perform.
He immediately channeled his True Qi, activating the "Heaven-Stepping Cloud Step," transforming into a white shadow and disappearing into the cave.
...
On the other side, the group was standing several meters away from the Bronze Cauldron.
Among the crowd, apart from familiar faces like Captain Meng, there were also a few unfamiliar ones.
The scene of Lu Heng taking the cauldron for alchemy had long been recorded.
Although these video segments were classified, they still appeared in front of some big personalities.
After watching the entire video, these big personalities, unwilling to come forward themselves, sent their secretaries instead.
Everyone gazed from afar at the flames still burning and the white smoke continuously emanating from the Bronze Cauldron.
No matter who it was, they were curious about what the pill would look like when refined.
"Taoist Zhenyuan, may I discuss something with you?"
Group Leader Qi walked to Zhenyuan’s side with a smile, asking softly.
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuan slowly opened his tightly closed eyes.
He glanced at Group Leader Qi, smiling faintly, "Young Friend Qi, feel free to speak!"
"Well..."
Group Leader Qi glanced at Qingfeng, who was still asleep.
"Young Friend Qingfeng is already sound asleep, he can’t hear our conversation."
"Just go ahead and speak."
Zhenyuan replied slowly.
"Alright, I’ll be straightforward!"
Understanding the situation, Group Leader Qi decided not to dwell on Qingfeng and directly said, "I would like to invite you, esteemed Taoist, to join our Religious Affairs Bureau."
"I wonder if you would be interested?"
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuan gently stroked his long beard, shaking his head, "I have always been solitary, like a cloud crane, unrestrained, and dislike constraints."
"Esteemed Taoist, our Religious Affairs Bureau..."
Upon hearing this, Group Leader Qi urgently opened his mouth to persuade him.
But before he could finish, Zhenyuan waved his hand and said, "Once Young Friend Qingfeng’s incurable disease is cured and my promise is fulfilled, I plan to head west."
"To put it in modern terms, it’s to travel the world."
"I have been dormant for too long, and the outside world has changed dramatically."
"Before Spiritual Qi fully recovers, I want to go out and see the changes in this world!"
Hearing this, Group Leader Qi was completely stunned.
He had prepared for two full days in order to persuade Zhenyuan.
The script contained everything from national security to people’s livelihoods.
The words were simple, and the emotions were sincere...
But who would’ve thought that Zhenyuan was planning to go traveling abroad?
This is too absurd, isn’t it?
All the plans I made over these days have gone down the drain?
"Esteemed Taoist, please listen to me..."
It’s clear that Group Leader Qi still wanted to struggle for a chance.
But with an expressionless face, Zhenyuan replied, "I’ve made up my mind, no need for more words, young friend!"
Alright!
This is really like the turtle eating the steelyard weight—determined!
Group Leader Qi could only sigh helplessly.
He looked at Zhenyuan with eyes full of resentment.
You Daoist are way too uncooperative, leaving just like that?
Once you leave, who will help cultivate cultivators for our Religious Affairs Bureau?
I was counting on you to help me contend for the position of the next director of the Religious Affairs Bureau!
Just as Group Leader Qi was filled with complaints and silently grumbled in his heart, Lu Heng, in the guise of "Xiao Yan," had already returned to the front of the Bronze Pill Cauldron.
Seeing his return, the mood of Group Leader Qi, which had just hit rock bottom, instantly lifted again.
Within the internal evaluation of the Religious Affairs Bureau, Xiao Yan’s role is regarded as far more important than Zhenyuan’s.
If they could persuade Xiao Yan to join the Religious Affairs Bureau, it would also be a significant achievement!
With this in mind, Group Leader Qi immediately left Zhenyuan and shifted his attention to the crowd.
"Master Xiao, are you preparing to open the cauldron?"
Captain Meng stood on his tiptoes, shouting loudly.
"Indeed!"
Lu Heng nodded slightly, responding.
Then, with a sweep of his large sleeve, he scattered a small amount of Spirit Water hidden inside it.
As soon as the Spirit Water encountered the fire in the cauldron, it quickly vaporized into a refreshing aroma.
Even though Captain Meng and the others were standing far away, with a gentle breeze, they all caught a whiff of this fragrance.
"Oh my, what is this smell? So fragrant!"
"Master Xiao is about to open the cauldron and retrieve the pill; it must be the pill’s aroma!" 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
"This pill is remarkable! Just a whiff, and I already feel all my organs are at peace!"
"Didn’t Taoist Zhenyuan say before that this pill can cure late-stage leukemia, it’s definitely powerful!"
"If it can cure late-stage leukemia, might it also cure other late-stage cancers?"
"Of course! When it comes, we’ll each get one, and it’d be hard for us to get sick in our lifetimes!"
"Brother, aren’t you dreaming a bit too much? Didn’t Senior Xiao mention that there aren’t many ingredients for alchemy?"
"Each person gets one? You think they’re sugar candies?"
"Stop arguing! Master Xiao is about to retrieve the pill..."
As the crowd was whispering, Lu Heng retracted the flames burning within the cauldron back into his body.
The secretaries among the crowd widened their eyes.
Although they had seen segments of related alchemy footage before, it wasn’t witnessed on-site.
Now being present in the moment, witnessing this astonishing scene firsthand, it was hard for them to maintain composure.
Meanwhile, after retracting the flames in the cauldron, Lu Heng slowly walked to the Bronze Pill Cauldron, lightly brushed the lid with his right hand, and a gap immediately appeared.
A plume of white mist shot up instantly!
Lu Heng stretched his neck, peered inside the cauldron, and saw nothing.
The previously added miscellaneous materials had been completely refined into ashes.
He reached out his right hand, first retrieving a Spiritual Qi Pill from the system storage; then he feigned grabbing a handful of air inside the cauldron.
"Pill Success!"
As he slowly opened his hand, he simultaneously activated a Dawn Talisman in an instant.
When the Spiritual Qi Pill was revealed before everyone, a rainbow-colored glow appeared along with it...
