'Swoosh'
A heavenly light descended from the sky and fell onto the Twilight Moon Sect; however, the heavenly light could not be seen by any cultivator.
Currently, that heavenly light fell on Leo's body who was sitting cross-legged.
From time to time, he frowned and at other times, he was revealing an excited look as though he learned something new.
This phenomenon is called enlightenment where a cultivator would gain insights into something that made cultivation, profession or even cultivation techniques.
The process lasted for nearly one hour before the heavenly light disappeared without a trace as Leo finally opened his eyes with an excited look on his face.
'Swiish'
The moment Leo opened his eyes, his eyes shone with a bright light for a moment before disappearing without a trace.
'Even though I didn't get insights into the [Fundamental Merge], I got insights into one of my professions: The Alchemy.'
Leo was excited, 'With the insights I gained, not only did I become a high-level Rank 2 Alchemist but I also gained 10 pills recipes including Foundation Establishment Pill Recipe.'
The reason why Leo was most excited about was because he could finally refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.
Even though he didn't know the success rate for the refinement of the pill, Leo was not worried too much about it as he has [Quasi Divine Knowledge] to increase the success rate.
As the sect leader of a Grade 9 Sect, Leo could be considered one of the rulers of Silvermoon City; however, a Foundation Establishment Pill recipe was not something that he could get his hands on.
Because the Grade 7 sect which was the tyrant of the Lunar Country was very strict with handing out valuable pill recipes like Foundational Establishment Pills.
Moreover, the one who received such pill recipes should swear a Dao Oath under the Celestial Moon Good, not to share the pill recipe and giving 50 percent of the refined pills would be given to the sect.
With such strict rules, it was impossible to buy the Foundational Establishment Pill recipe no matter how much a cultivator spends.
'Moreover, there is another rare rank 2 pill recipe among the 10 pill recipes I got. Those pills are not only useful for Foundational Establishment Realm cultivators but even the Golden Core Realm cultivators could also use them.'
Life Essence Pills,
These pills are special rank 2 pills and in his entire life of nearly 600 years, Leo had seen it less than 10 times.
That's how rare it was and now, Leo could refine it.
'If it was a low-level Life Essence Pill, it could extend the cultivator's lifespan by one year.'
A mid-level Life Essence Pill will increase the lifespan by 5 years.
The high-level Life Essence Pill will increase the lifespan by 20 years.
The last level is, the top-level pill; however, even in the insights he gained from the heavens, Leo didn't gain any information about the top-level Life Essence Pill.
'A cultivator can consume only one Life Essence Pill per level which means he could consume four pills like low, mid, high and top-level.'
Leo calculated the total lifespan gained by consuming the Life Essence Pills by a cultivator, '26 years + the lifespan by a top-level pill which would be definitely more than 20 years.'
"Even without the breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm, I can easily survive for another 50 years…haha."
Even though Leo had yet to refine the Life Essence Pills, Leo was greatly excited thinking about it.
'Let's calm down…calm down. Let's not get too happy as there is still a major problem in refining both the Foundation Establishment Pills and the Life Essence Pills.'
Soon, Leo suppressed his excitement and thought about the problem that was stopping him from refining the pills.
Among the two pills, it was very hard to find the ingredients for the Life Essence Pills and could not be bought from the Black Market in Silvermoon City.
As for the Foundation Establishment Pill, he could find them by paying a huge sum of money; however, to buy them, one must provide their identity even in the Black Market.
'It looks like I should enter the Dark Moon Forest and find the ingredients for myself.'
Leo could buy all the items required to refine the Foundation Establishment Pills except for two items.
They are Lunar Pearl and the Moonlight Dew for which he had to go through the official distribution lines.
Even though there were still some hidden channels to buy such items, Leo didn't know any of them.
Therefore, the only solution that Leo thought of for his current problem was to enter the Dark Moon Forest and collect the ingredients on his own.
'I think I should wait for a few days and strengthen the sect before entering the Dark Moon Forest.'
However, Leo was not in a hurry to enter the Dark Moon Forest as he wanted to increase the strength of all his disciples and elders.
'Gallant has already reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm and as long as the three Elders could also reach that level, I can be at ease leaving my sect in their hands.'
After thinking for a moment, Leo decided when he should leave the Sect and enter the Dark Moon Forest.
Of course, Leo was confident that with the help of his two talents [Quasi Divine Knowledge] and the [Fundamental Merge], it won't take much long before he could accomplish that feat.
'Until then, I can refine other rank 2 pills and merge them to get the special effects.'
Since he had gained enlightenment in the Alchemy and jumped his rank from high-level rank 1 to high-level rank 2, Leo didn't want to waste that.
Therefore, he planned to select two or three useful pills to refine in the meanwhile.
[Congratuations to the Ascender for completing a Hidden Mission [Enlightened Being]]
Just as he was checking which rank 2 pills he should refine from tomorrow, Leo received an announcement from Heaven's Voice.
'Excellent…I wonder whether I can get a reward for that now?'
