Chapter 110: Refining Inheritance
Ji Chang also wanted to explore the cave himself.

However, he had just started to build his foundation, and although he had inherited the "Five Poison Fragments" from Chen Biqi, he had only been able to refine the second-level spell, the Blood Python Erosion Heart Seal.

According to the degree of mastery of magic spells, they can be roughly divided into four levels: entry, minor success, major success, and perfection.

With Ji Chang's current attainments in the way of poison and his cultivation level, if he practices a first-level poison spell.

You can easily get started with just a little study and achieve some success in a short period of time.

However, the obscurity of second-level spells is far beyond that of first-level spells.

Although Ji Chang has been practicing hard for more than half a year, his Blood Python Erosion Heart Seal is still only at the entry level.

He knew very well that his current means were limited, his foundation was still shallow, and he simply did not have enough strength to explore the cave.

Even if he was lucky enough not to die, what would happen if Zixuan Sanren and Hong Ling Fairy saw through his true colors?

Ji Chang didn't even want to scare them, they might even have other ideas.

At this time, Ji Chang accepted the invitation of Fairy Hong Ling and prepared to visit the Hu family.

This was not because Ji Chang was obsessed with the appearance of Fairy Hong Ling and was misled by her beauty.

In other words, normally, a cultivator who can cultivate to the foundation-building level has a lot of experience, so how can he be easily shaken by superficial beauty?

The reason why Ji Chang agreed to go was because he had his eyes on several other foundation-building cultivators from the Hu family.

Even though he had quietly planted the peeping mark on Fairy Hong Ling and Zixuan Sanren.

But if he could leave such a mark on more foundation-building cultivators, it would undoubtedly be icing on the cake for him and would be like adding wings to a tiger.

So, Ji Chang turned around and bowed to Zixuan Sanren and said, "Fellow Daoist Zixuan, I am sorry for bothering you these days. Now that Fellow Daoist Hong Ling has kindly invited me, I will go to the Hu family to visit and meet with you later."

When Zixuan Sanren heard this, although he was indignant, he still smiled and nodded in response.

"Fellow Daoist Han, you are too polite. You have helped me resist the storm these days. I appreciate your kindness. I don't think it is a bother. We will meet again if we have the chance someday."

Ji Chang bowed to Zixuan Sanren again, and then set out on the journey to the Hu family with Fairy Hong Ling.

Fairy Hong Ling turned into a red light and moved at an extremely fast speed.

But Ji Chang was not inferior at all. He turned into purple gas and followed closely behind.

The two chatted and laughed along the way, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious, as if they were close friends for many years.

Soon after, a majestic and magnificent city appeared in their sight.

It is Yuzhou City.

Yuzhou City is located in a vast mountain basin, surrounded by mountains, like a natural barrier, guarding the Hu family's base.

Fairy Hong Ling introduced to Ji Chang that the mortal branch of the Hu family and the direct line of cultivators did not live separately, but lived together in this Yuzhou city.

The outer city is inhabited by the mortals of the Hu family, where they reproduce and thrive, while the inner city is the residence of the Hu family's monks and is the core of the Hu family's power.

It is completely different from the immortal cultivation world in Jiaozhou.

In southern prefectures such as Jiaozhou and Taizhou, most of the mortal branches and direct descendants of immortal cultivation families live separately.

Fairy Hong Ling took Ji Chang through the bustling streets and came to her mansion.

Fairy Hong Ling is one of the four foundation-building ancestors of the Hu family, and her mansion occupies a very large area.

Pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, and garden rockeries are dotted in between, making it look both solemn and elegant.

Fairy Hong Ling led Ji Chang to the reception room and ordered people to serve him spiritual tea and fruits, treating him very attentively.

After Fairy Hong Ling and Ji Chang sat down as host and guest, she waved her hand to let the maid leave, personally poured a cup of fragrant tea for Ji Chang, then opened her red lips and started chatting with Ji Chang.

Fairy Hong Ling was chatting with Ji Chang when suddenly they heard footsteps outside the door.

Then, a middle-aged monk in a green robe walked in. He had a gaunt face, bright eyes, and exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

This person is Hu Qingyun, another foundation-building cultivator of the Hu family.

As soon as Hu Qingyun entered the door, he saw Ji Chang sitting next to Fairy Hong Ling.

Then he smiled warmly, bowed, and pretended to be ignorant and asked, "Niece Hong Ling, who is this Taoist friend?"

Although Fairy Hong Ling had informed Hu Qingyun of the relevant situation when she returned, she did not expose her third uncle's pretense at this moment.

Then, Fairy Hong Ling stood up and introduced: "Third Uncle, this is Fellow Daoist Han, a cultivator from Taizhou, who is visiting our Hu family this time."

Hu Qingyun's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this. He looked Ji Chang up and down, then said with a smile: "It turns out to be Brother Han, I am so sorry for my disrespect!"

Fairy Hong Ling praised: "Fellow Daoist Han has a very high level of attainment in alchemy, and is a first-class top-grade alchemist."

When Hu Qingyun heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although the Hu family is a foundation-building family, the best alchemist in the family is just the same as Ji Chang, a first-class top-grade alchemist.

For a foundation-building family, it is not easy to obtain a second-level alchemy inheritance.

If you want to train a second-level alchemist, it will be even more difficult.

Not only does it require countless efforts and resources, but it also requires the alchemist's cultivation to the foundation-building stage.

If one wants to directly cultivate the alchemy skills of the foundation-building cultivators, it is also not an easy task.

After all, not every cultivator has outstanding talent in alchemy.

What's more, the status of a first-class top-grade alchemist is still very important.

This is because a first-class top-grade alchemist is already able to refine pills that can help break through the foundation-building stage.

Even a precious elixir like the Foundation Establishment Pill is only of the first-grade top grade.

However, the growth cycle of the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill can easily take hundreds of years, making it far more rare than ordinary first-level spiritual medicines, and even comparable to some second-level spiritual medicines.

Most first-class top-grade alchemists only have a few opportunities to personally refine foundation-building pills.

Normally, alchemists who can refine foundation-building pills are second-level alchemists with foundation-building cultivation.

Ji Chang is not only a first-class alchemist, but also a foundation-building cultivator.

This shows that Ji Chang has a certain talent in the way of alchemy.

If there is an opportunity in the future, there is a great chance that I can become a second-level alchemist.

Because of this, Hu Qingyun showed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This is also the profound meaning behind Fairy Hong Ling's specific mention of this matter.

Hu Qingyun immediately praised him, "Fellow Daoist Han is indeed a genius. His talent and strength are truly astonishing. Given time, he will surely become a second-level alchemist."

Seeing Ji Chang's situation, he also stood up quickly, bowed slightly, and said modestly: "Fellow Daoist Hu, thank you for your praise. I am just beginning to learn the art of alchemy and am still far from becoming a second-level alchemist."

After the three of them sat down again, they chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

During the period, in addition to discussing cultivation, Hu Qingyun and Fairy Hong Ling also introduced Ji Chang to the situation of the Hu family and some interesting anecdotes in the world of immortal cultivation in Yuzhou.

Like most of the long-established foundation-building families, the Yuzhou Hu family also mastered a second-level immortal cultivation technique.

However, the Yuzhou Hu family possesses a second-level weapon refining inheritance. There are two second-level weapon refiners in the family, and Hu Qingyun in front of him is one of them.

Although Fairy Hong Ling is also a weapon refiner, she has not yet crossed that threshold because she has only just broken through the foundation-building stage. She is merely a first-class top-grade weapon refiner.
