As the direct lineage family of Biyun Sect, clan secrets are considered inconsequential to the sect; as long as the sect leader speaks, they will offer them with both hands.
Previously, to hide matters within the clan, the Liu Family Ancestor even took the initiative to present the clan’s array inheritance to the Fake Pill Elder of the Array Hall.
However, generally, the sect also maintains the interests of the direct lineage families and will not openly condone such behavior.
Therefore, Li Ji’an adopts a conversational tone, starting with the topic of the Beast Pill, and does not ntion the Sacred Beast Pill from the beginning.
The Liu Family Ancestor paused for a mont, then smiled broadly: "Hahaha, True Man Li is too polite. Liu is hardly qualified to offer guidance. To tell True Man Li the truth, at the blood extraction conference years ago, I wanted to invite True Man Li to guide the beast pill crafting skills in my clan. As you know, our beast pill has stagnated at the quasi-third tier, a problem troubling our clan for hundreds of years, always hoping for a breakthrough."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Liu is so gracious, then I shall do my utmost. But also, please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Liu, I understand the rules, and I will not divulge your clan’s secrets to anyone outside," Li Ji’an readily agreed.
Dealing with intelligent people avoids many unnecessary argunts and trouble.
Of course, this is based on his current status, position, and strength within the sect.
In the following days, after handling the celebration’s aftermath, Li Ji’an spoke with Master Jade Pill and then returned to the Liu Family with the Liu Family Ancestor.
On the flying boat.
"Senior Li, the principle of beast pill crafting is similar to that of pill dicine refinent, the only difference being the target consur. To comprehend beast pill crafting, one must have knowledge of the Beast Taming Dao.
Xiaojiu, though not skilled in beast pill crafting, has so insights into the Beast Taming Dao. May I have the honor to explain it to Senior Li?"
Back then, Liu Jiu Chan was regarded as an unremarkable loose cultivator, but ti flew by and has now beco a formidable Core Formation expert, needing to address as Senior. Liu Jiu Chan felt a touch of nostalgia.
As for Li Ji’an’s attitude towards her, she understands it very well.
Not to ntion soone of Li Ji’an’s level, even the middle ranks of the Upper Sect Hall Master level practically ignored her existence.
"Elder Li, what Xiaojiu says is true. When it cos to the Beast Taming Dao, Xiaojiu is second to none in our clan. If Elder Li does not mind, Xiaojiu can serve you in the coming days and explain the Beast Taming Dao," Liu Family Ancestor promptly agreed.
Ever since Li Ji’an was crowned the First Pill Master in Golden Splendor Immortal City, the Liu Family has been aware of the connection between Liu Jiu Chan and Li Ji’an, and have constantly encouraged Liu Jiu Chan to maintain contact.
Until Li Ji’an beca an Honored Guest Elder at Biyun Sect, the Liu Family intended to have Liu Jiu Chan form a dao couple with Li Ji’an.
However, now, Liu Jiu Chan is deed only worthy to serve as a maid.
"That sounds splendid!" Li Ji’an nodded, as the ultimate objective this ti is the Sacred Beast Pill formula, and learning the Beast Taming Dao and beast pill crafting would be beneficial, as it all aims at Gugu’s advancent.
Two months later, arriving once more at the crimson mist-shrouded Beast Taming Liu Family, Li Ji’an was ushered in with the highest respect.
That evening, Liu Jiu Chan ca dressed in sheer fabric to share her insights on the Beast Taming Dao.
Half a month later, Li Ji’an gained a general understanding of second-tier beast taming, bypassing those topics on luring and capturing, taming, and spirit binding, focusing on various spirit beasts’ enhancents and corresponding supplents for advancent, which aligns with his straightforward desire to research the surface needs of beast pill crafting.
With this foundation, he finally t the Liu Family’s leading figure in beast pill, Grand Elder Liu Xuanting again.
After narrowly surviving being set up by Wu Weixiong, he secluded himself in focused study on beast pill crafting and fostering young talents.
eting Li Ji’an once more, he sighed with emotion.
Back then, Li Ji’an’s alchemy skill at the age of over fifty already left him astounded, and he predicted Li Ji’an’s future would be exceptional, and facts proved him correct.
Because the two had previously collaborated, Li Ji’an also witnessed firsthand his crafting of the Sacred Beast Pill, thus having so discernnt over the beast pill crafting techniques he imparted.
Three months later, Li Ji’an comprehended the thod of beast pill crafting and obtained multiple beast pill formulas from the Liu Family.
Upon parting, Li Ji’an finally expressed the need for the Sacred Beast Pill formula.
With so much sunk cost invested previously, the Liu Family Ancestor hesitated but ultimately agreed, albeit with a stern condition.
"Elder Li, the Sacred Beast Pill is our clan’s critical counterasure against other beast taming factions within the domain; once this formula is exposed, it might beco impossible to gain a foothold in the entire beast taming market in the future."
Li Ji’an nodded: "Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Liu, I am willing to make a Great Heart Demon Oath to never disclose it."
"Moreover, if my Liu Family faces calamity in the future, I hope Elder Li will lend us a helping hand!" Liu Family Ancestor stated with resolute earnestness.
From his stance, it seed unless Li Ji’an agreed, he would refuse even at the risk of offense.
"To make it clear upfront, I am rely a Pill Master with limited capability, and not adept at frequent magical combat, should it endanger my safety, I must refuse." Li Ji’an decisively clarified.
The Liu Family Ancestor hastily replied: "Elder Li thinks too much, my little Liu Family is unlikely to encounter adversaries that require True Man Li to personally engage in magical combat, it is simply hoped that Elder Li can offer advice regarding sect affairs, after all, our Liu Family is the Upper Sect’s direct lineage."
"Then, I accept this condition," Li Ji’an agreed without further objection.

"Demon beast containing Innate Origin Essence Blood..."
At the Outer Peak of Biyun Sect, Li Ji’an lies on the summit, resting his head on one of Gugu’s legs, studying the imprinted Sacred Beast Pill formula with Gugu.
