Chapter 122: Spreading Fame
Ji Chang breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand, and three pills flew out of the furnace and appeared before his eyes.

One of the pills was round and full, and it was glowing with light, obviously a masterpiece of a successful alchemy.

The other one is slightly dull in color. Although it is not perfect, it is still usable.

And the last one was as black as ink and lifeless, obviously a useless pill.

One finished product, one defective product, and one waste pill?

Ji Chang sighed lightly and put the first two pills into the pill bottle.

If Hu Qingsong had not been invited to watch, when the time came to deliver the pills, Ji Chang could have only given the finished foundation-building pill to Hu Qingsong and kept the other inferior foundation-building pill for himself.

If he was more courageous, he could give the inferior foundation-building pill to Hu Qingsong and keep the finished foundation-building pill for himself.

After all, this was Ji Chang's first time refining the elixir. Even if he failed, it was normal that he didn't succeed in refining a single foundation-building pill.

And now, Ji Chang has invited Hu Qingsong to watch the alchemy. It is impossible for him to swallow a foundation-building pill in front of Hu Qingsong.

This is a bit too ugly.

However, Ji Chang's main purpose this time was to make a name for himself. Although a defective foundation-building pill was precious, it was nothing compared to the long-term livelihood of refining foundation-building pills.

Ji Chang didn't think too much. He turned around and handed two bottles of pills to Hu Qingsong. "Fellow Daoist Hu, these are two foundation-building pills, one finished product and one defective product. Please keep them."

Hu Qingsong took the two bottles of pills, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although this time he asked Ji Chang to help him refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, he thought that it would be good enough if Ji Chang could refine one Foundation Establishment Pill.

Even Hu Qingsong was prepared for Ji Chang to fail in refining the elixir and not be able to refine a single foundation-building pill.

The lost elixirs at that time can be regarded as an early investment in Ji Chang, a cultivator who may become a second-level alchemist.

But unexpectedly, Ji Chang actually succeeded in refining the foundation-building pill.

What was even more unexpected was that Ji Chang actually refined two foundation-building pills.

Moreover, he also handed over the two foundation-building pills to me as entrusted.

Although one of the foundation-building pills was of slightly lower quality, it was just a second-grade foundation-building pill.

But this is also a foundation-building pill.

The foundation-building pill that countless Qi-refining practitioners desire but cannot obtain.

You know, although they had signed a spiritual contract at the beginning, Ji Chang had to hand it over to himself after he refined the Foundation Establishment Pill.

But it was not written at the beginning that two foundation-building pills should be refined, so whether all of them should be handed over to him.

This was mainly because Hu Qingsong never expected that Ji Chang could actually refine two foundation-building pills at one time.

Hu Qingsong was silent for a moment. He did not take the Foundation Establishment Pill handed to him by Ji Chang, but bowed to Ji Chang.

"Brother Han is very kind, but I cannot accept both of these foundation-building pills."

"I just need this finished foundation-building pill."

After saying that, Hu Qingsong simply took the finished foundation-building pill from Ji Chang's hand.

Ji Chang's heart moved, and then he smiled and said: "Fellow Daoist Qingsong said before that he would refine a second-level alchemy furnace for me, so the other foundation-building pill can be regarded as a reward."

Hu Qingsong was stunned when he heard this, then smiled bitterly: "Brother Han, you are embarrassing me. Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only a first-grade pill, its value is higher than that of an ordinary second-grade pill furnace."

"I just helped Brother Han refine the alchemy furnace. Why would I need such a precious thing as a reward?"

"Besides, I have just promised to help Fellow Daoist Han refine the alchemy furnace for free. How can I go back on my word?"

After saying that, Hu Qingsong showed a bit of feigned anger on his face.

Ji Chang knew in his heart that Hu Qingsong clearly wanted him to owe him a favor.

However, since Hu Qingsong had achieved this, he did not continue to insist, but put away the inferior foundation-building pill. Ji Chang planned to find a time to put the foundation-building pill on the auction.

The money earned can be used to purchase materials for Hu Qingsong to make an alchemy furnace for him.

The extra spirit stones can be used to supplement other spiritual objects to refine pills, refine poisonous insects, and practice magic.

After paying the remaining compensation, Hu Qingsong prepared to say goodbye and leave.

But at this moment, Ji Chang suddenly spoke.

"By the way, Han actually has an unwelcome request."

Hu Qingsong was slightly stunned, then smiled heartily and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, why are you so polite? If you have any problem, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely not refuse."

Ji Chang paused for a moment before slowly asking, "I am a humble Han, but I have some experience in refining foundation-building pills. I wonder if I could ask Daoist Qingsong to help promote it."

Hearing this, a look of understanding appeared in Hu Qingsong's eyes.

"What's so trivial about this?"

"If you trust Fellow Daoist Han, I will introduce you to some familiar fellow Daoists in a while."

"They are all foundation-building families from various states. They have clean origins and are well-known. There is no need to worry about any mistakes when refining foundation-building pills for them."

"If anything goes wrong, Fellow Daoist Han, feel free to come find me."

Ji Chang nodded: "That's great."

All the foundation-building families in Zheng State are under the jurisdiction of the Huangquan Sect.

Although the Huangquan Sect is not a famous and upright sect, the foundation-building families in Zheng State are not considered to be righteous families.

However, due to the family's reputation, they will not do anything too extreme in public.

Even if they secretly support robbers to kill people and rob, they will never bring it to the surface.

After all, even a demonic family has to trade with other families and cultivators, so they must have at least a certain reputation.

……

In the next few days, Ji Chang sent Liu Xuexuan to sell the inferior foundation-building pill in her hand at the auction and purchase the spiritual objects he needed.

Although Ji Chang seldom takes the initiative to do these chores, most of them are done by Liu Xuexuan.

But Ji Chang was not worried that Liu Xuexuan would run away with the money.

Liu Xuexuan's salary as a housekeeper was not low, and Ji Chang would occasionally give her some rewards.

Moreover, many cultivators who want to get close to Ji Chang, who is a true cultivator in the foundation-building stage, will also spend a lot of spirit stones to win over Liu Xuexuan.

Therefore, her income is much higher than that of ordinary people in the late stage of Qi Refining.

If you run away with the money, it will not be easy to find such a good job again in the future.

More importantly, Ji Changke is an alchemist who can refine foundation-building pills.

If Liu Xuexuan serves loyally, even if Ji Chang does not take the initiative to reward her with foundation-building elixirs in the future.

She can also use this friendship to ask Ji Chang to help her refine some pills that can help her build her foundation.

Moreover, for Ji Chang, if Liu Xuexuan was loyal enough, he wouldn't mind promoting her in the future to help her break through the foundation-building stage.

While Ji Chang sent Liu Xuexuan to collect spiritual objects, Hu Qingsong was also helping Ji Chang spread the news that he was able to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

In just these few days, a foundation-building cultivator, through the introduction of Hu Qingsong, contacted Ji Chang through the jade token and prepared to visit Ji Chang and ask him to help him refine the elixir.
