Speaking of which, normally, a Foundation Establishment Pill requires a cultivator at least at the Foundation Establishment Stage or higher—one who has reached the Golden Core Realm—to concoct it. So, the question arises: where did the first Foundation Establishment Pill in this world come from?

Wang Mu suddenly thought, Hmm... Perhaps someone established their foundation without using a pill, cultivated to the Golden Core Realm, founded a Sect, and then invented it for the sake of their disciples?

The origin of the Foundation Establishment Pill has become untraceable in the Cultivation World. The most mainstream belief is that it originated from the Dan King Sect.

After countless modifications by numerous Pill Masters, the various Foundation Establishment Pill Recipes we see today were developed.

Different Sects have slight variations in their Foundation Establishment Pills.

Most Sects make minor modifications to the pill recipe to suit their distinctive Cultivation Techniques, aligning with their disciples' skills and significantly increasing the success rate of Foundation Establishment, among other things.

For example, the Foundation Establishment Pills used by disciples of the Righteous path and Demon Cultivators are certainly different.

Thus, each Sect's Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe is a closely guarded secret.

For instance, the Sword Sect's Foundation Establishment Pill includes an additional ingredient, Sword Soul Heart Soul Grass. This helps disciples improve their aptitude in the Sword Dao, laying a solid foundation for forming their Golden Core later.

The concoction process and the proportions of Spiritual Medicines involved also differ slightly.

Moreover, a more potent Foundation Establishment Pill could even allow cultivators to subtly perceive the essence of all things during Foundation Establishment, awakening unique abilities and giving birth to Innate Divine Powers.

That is a secret among secrets.

In April, Wang Mu spent the entire month concocting Foundation Establishment Pills.

Using Action points, every concoction was a success. His Alchemy Skill soared dramatically to level 20 before the growth finally slowed down.

However, each batch of Alchemy only yielded two to three pills.

Most were of Good quality, with two being Top-grade.

The raw materials used for the Spiritual Medicines were worth about five hundred Spirit Stones.

A single Foundation Establishment Pill could sell for three hundred to four hundred Spirit Stones, while Top-grade ones could fetch up to a thousand Spirit Stones.

The time taken to concoct the pills had increased from several hours to several days, greatly increasing all related costs.

Wang Mu converted all the Spirit Stones he had into raw materials, conducting ten concoctions in total.

Four of these were carried out using Action points. The rest he attempted himself, resulting in two failed batches and one that exploded.

He successfully concocted three batches, yielding two Good quality pills and four Substandard ones.

Combined with the four batches concocted using Action points, he had a total of two Top-grade, eight Good, and six Substandard pills.

The Substandard pills were sold for Spirit Stones, totaling 2,400.

The eight Good Foundation Establishment Pills were given to eight senior brothers and sisters at Dan Sword Peak.

In early May, these eight senior brothers and sisters reciprocated with dozens of types of Spiritual Medicines, several Middle-level Sword Techniques from Dan Sword Peak, and two Mid-grade Pill Furnaces, with a total value close to 8,000 Spirit Stones.

Selling the Good Foundation Establishment Pills might not have even fetched 8,000 Spirit Stones.

Of course, this was also due to the relative scarcity of Foundation Establishment Pills, especially Good quality ones.

These senior brothers and sisters had family and relatives who, although not talented enough to join the Sword Sect and cultivate, could still become Loose Cultivators.

For these Loose Cultivators to achieve Foundation Establishment and obtain such pills was not so easy.

Thus, Foundation Establishment Pills were always in high demand within the Sword Sect.

Very profitable.

To become a 10,000 Spirit Stone wealthy individual at the Qi Cultivation stage within the Sword Sect was quite rare.

By mid-May, Wang Mu had spent another half a month. Using his Alchemy Skill, now nearly level 23, he finally concocted the three types of Spiritual Medicines into the Immortal Sorrow he had envisioned.

However, it turned out to be somewhat different from the one in the game...

By this time, the Alchemy Dao Conference had also begun.
