But now, for the sake of Lee Zhengming, he decided to take a risk. After all, Xiao ran and Qiao hongcai had already reached the foundation establishment stage, and Lee Zhengming was his underling in secret, so he couldn’t let them down.

What Lin Yi didn’t expect, however, was that li Zhengming would take the initiative to give him the ingredients for the foundation elixir. It was a pleasant surprise.

“That’s good. Zhengming, go back and prepare well. I’ll give you the foundation building elixir tomorrow.” Lin Yi consoled li Zhengming. As someone who had the Shennong medicine cauldron, Lin Yi could even successfully make the Golden Foundation pellet and the barrier-breaking Foundation pellet, so a mere Foundation pellet was nothing to him.

“Boss Lin Yi, I’ll take my leave now.” Lee Zheng Ming nodded gratefully, but he did not say any more flattering words and left immediately.

He knew that Lin Yi was different from the likes of Meng jueguang. Flattery had no effect on him, and if he wanted to gain his trust, he had to take action. With Lin Yi’s usual style, as long as he was willing to work for him, he wouldn’t mistreat himself.

After li Zhengming left, Lin Yi started preparing for work. Although making the foundation pill wasn’t challenging, it still took a lot of time. He had to take care of the eighty-five seeds first and make sure that they were filled with Qi at the right time.

According to what the sissy manager of the spirit herb nursery had said, it had been almost twenty days. It should be about time. Even if not all eighty-five spirit herb seeds had survived, at least a portion of them should have developed first.

But what made Lin Yi speechless was that all eighty-five seeds seemed to have been silenced. Nearly twenty days had passed, and there was no movement at all. Lin Yi couldn’t help but wonder if it was because the Jade space had too much Qi, and the seeds weren’t used to it.

Even humans had times when they were weak and could not take in nutrients. If too much fertilizer was applied to other ordinary crops, the seedlings would also burn.

Although ordinary crops couldn’t be compared with spiritual seeds, which were the essence of heaven and earth, and the spiritual Qi of heaven and earth was not ordinary fertilizer, it couldn’t be ruled out in this situation.

Fortunately, although these 85 spirit medicine seeds showed no signs of growth, the color of their seed skin was round and full, not looking like they were about to wither.

Lin Yi felt that the seeds hadn’t fully matured yet, but after being nourished in the Jade space, their life force was much better than when he first got them.

It was only Lin Yi’s own guess, but it made sense.

Back then, the sissy manager had said that because these spirit herb seeds were cultivated in batches by the spirit herb nursery, even if they could grow, they would be a batch with congenital deficiencies. Not only could they not be left for cultivation, but even the spirit herb plants cultivated could not be compared to the spirit herbs that grew naturally in the wild.

All living things had spirituality, and the seeds of spirit herbs were even more so. Now that they were placed in the unique environment of the Jade space, it was entirely possible that they would not develop and instead accumulate to make up for their innate lack of Yuan Qi.

If that was the case, it would be a good thing for Lin Yi. After all, he only had two heart-devouring exquisite grass seeds. If the quality of the seeds was too poor, it might not even be enough for two Foundation-level golden cores, maybe even one. That would be too much.

However, no matter how he guessed, as long as these seeds didn’t die or rot, Lin Yi could only continue to wait. He couldn’t even ask for other people’s opinions. After all, this involved the important secret of the Jade space. Unless it was someone he could completely trust, he couldn’t let anyone know.

As usual, Lin Yi transferred his Qi into the eighty-five seeds before making some preparations. He then used the ingredients li Zhengming provided to start making the foundation elixir.

The process didn’t need to be explained-after all, he’d had the experience of making the Golden and barrier-breaking Foundation pills before, so he was already very familiar with the process. Making the foundation pills was a piece of cake for him.

The night passed uneventfully, and before dawn the next day, the restriction of Lee Zheng Ming’s cave No. 2 at the foot of the mountain was lightly touched.

Li Zhengming was taken aback, thinking that Meng jueguang and the others were looking for him again. After all, he did tell Lin Yi about the foundation building pill last night, and Lin Yi agreed to it without a second thought. Even a layman like li Zhengming knew that refining pills was no easy task.

Even though the grade of the foundation building elixir wasn’t high, the process of refining it was still extremely taxing on the mind. In order to ensure the success rate, one had to make full preparations beforehand.

This preparation did not only refer to the alchemy materials, but more importantly, The Alchemist himself had to spend time to adjust his condition and recuperate his spirit. This time varied from person to person, but according to Lee Zheng Ming’s knowledge, even the best Alchemist would have to prepare for at least a whole day from the moment they received the Commission.

As for those who immediately started to refine it as soon as they got the materials, it was simply a mountain cannon, and there was no guarantee of success.

One had to know that even if one was well prepared, the success rate of most alchemists was only about 20% to 30%. If one was not well prepared, then even this 20% to 30% success rate would be impossible. It was likely that the success rate would be less than 10%.

In this case, the three sets of ingredients that li Zhengming had taken from Meng jueguang were not even enough to be wasted. However, according to his observation, his current boss Lin Yi had always been calm and steady, and he shouldn’t be so reckless when it came to things like refining pills.

As a result, li Zhengming didn’t even think about Lin Yi and the foundation pill the moment the cave’s restrictions were triggered. He was thinking about what Meng jueguang and the others were up to this time. They might be up to some dirty tricks.

However, when he opened the door of the cave abode, Lee Zhengming could not help but be stunned again. There was no one in front of him, not even the shadow of Meng jueguang and the others that he had expected.

Confused, Lee Zheng Ming scanned the area outside once more. When his gaze habitually swept past the edge of the steps at the entrance of the cave abode, his eyes could not help but narrow. In that corner, there was an inconspicuous gray cloth bag.
