“…”

Tuoba Hongyu was rendered speechless!

The icy, stinging pain on her face made her body tremble slightly, and the cold ferocity in her eyes surged forth, overflowing.

She slowly raised her hand and wiped away the fresh blood on her cheek, fixing Xu Yang with a chilling gaze: “I swear—I will kill you myself!”

“I’ll be waiting!”

Xu Yang sneered coldly and turned to leave.

Several dozen breaths later.

Rumble!

The entire mountain ravine was buried under a cascade of tumbling rocks.

Two days later.

Xu Yang inwardly inspected the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant.

“Brother Yang, how are your injuries now?”

Yang Yi’s face was filled with joy: “Mr. Xu, apart from Mr. Liou, everyone has basically recovered completely! The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi in here blends Yin and Yang, vast and astonishing, and deeper within there’s even the purest, flawless Essence Qi—it’s tremendously beneficial for cultivation and healing!”

Everyone was deeply shocked.

This place was no less than a sacred ground for cultivation!

Though for those at the late stage of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, training here is still somewhat strenuous.

But for those at the Yang Realm or early stages of the Myriad Manifestations Realm, the benefits are enormous—the incredible Cyan Jade Yin Yang Qi and purest Essence Qi are akin to washing one’s marrow and shaving away impurities!

“Mr. Liou.”

Xu Yang looked over to Liou Yunfeng.

Liou Yunfeng let out a sigh: “Without the Celestial Jade Elixir, I fear it would take me a year to fully recover. But with my current condition, even with the ingredients for the Celestial Jade Elixir, I cannot refine it right now!”

“Celestial Jade Elixir! Tsk!”

Yang Yi inhaled sharply, startled.

“That’s nearly a top-tier sixth-rank pill.”

Liou Yunfeng gave a bitter smile and nodded.

Sixth-rank top grade… Xu Yang frowned slightly; with his current strength, refining it would be quite a challenge.

Wait—

“Master, can you help me with alchemy?” Xu Yang asked.

“Hmm… I can’t control your pill cauldron. In my current condition, I can refine, but I need True Essence!”

Right now, he was just a remnant soul, possessing only Spiritual Power, lacking True Essence!

In alchemy, Spiritual Power is just a support—True Essence is vital!

“True Essence?”

“Master, do you think this will do?”

Xu Yang gathered a ball of the purest Essence Qi.

“Oh? So pure—even without a hint of impurity!” Gu Jun was startled—this purest Essence Qi seemed as though it had been washed by a supreme cultivator countless times, and yet it felt so naturally pure. It was almost unsettling.

After all, if it’s been refined countless times, how could it retain a natural feel?

“Unless there’s a huge quantity!”

“I can use Spiritual Power to guide this Essence Qi as True Essence, but even to refine an ordinary sixth-rank pill would require a truly terrifying amount!”

Hearing this, Xu Yang grinned widely—huge quantity?

If there’s anything he’s not short of, it’s purest Essence Qi!

At worst, he could refine all the unused Spirit Elixirs and Spirit Stones on him into purest Essence Qi!

“Mr. Liou, leave the Celestial Jade Elixir to me.”

Xu Yang said to Liou Yunfeng.

Liou Yunfeng shuddered, his eyes flashing with excitement, and eagerly replied, “Alright!”

With Xu Yang’s current strength, he shouldn’t be able to refine the Celestial Jade Elixir.

But these words could only mean one thing!

Pill Emperor Gu Jun!

Liou Yunfeng spoke, then suddenly rubbed his hands together awkwardly: “Xu Yang, did you ask him?”

“You know—that thing.”

His face was filled with embarrassment.

Yang Yi, Zhao Mushen, and the others looked at Liou Yunfeng oddly, thoroughly confused by his ambiguous words.

They didn’t know what he meant, but Liou Yunfeng’s reaction was just…indescribable!

You’re a Pill King!

You might even advance to the seventh-rank Pill King; by then even True Lord experts would come pleading to you!

How are you acting like a kid who got caught doing something wrong?

Xu Yang quickly caught on, couldn’t help but laugh, but didn’t answer Liou Yunfeng directly.

This matter has to be settled with his master’s consent!

Still, he thought it shouldn’t be a big deal.

It’s only a registered disciple, after all.

“Master, about Mr. Liou…”

“That Little Liou.”

Gu Jun chuckled softly: “Don’t worry about it, I’ll tell him myself later—a registered disciple is nothing!”

To him, a registered disciple was insignificant, just a title.

If he wanted to guide him, he’d do so casually.

But Liou Yunfeng had helped Xu Yang quite a lot; so even if it was just a registered disciple, Gu Jun wouldn’t ignore it.

“Alright.”

Xu Yang nodded slightly.

Then—

With no audible sound, Liou Yunfeng’s body suddenly began to tremble violently, as if he’d received tremendous good news. His face flushed with excitement—if others weren’t present, he might well have danced for joy.

To him, even being just a registered disciple was an unparalleled honor!

And hope for the future!

Xu Yang was happy for Liou Yunfeng.

Afterward, he soothed everyone briefly and exited the Cyan Jade Yin Yang Pendant.

Then he sorted through all his Storage Rings, tossing any unused Spiritual Objects and Spirit Stones straight into the Celestial Refining Divine Tripod!

And the purest Essence Qi he’d previously produced inside was astonishing.

Sufficient to support the refinement of a top-tier sixth-rank pill.

“Celestial Jade Elixir… Still missing three kinds of Spirit Elixirs!”

“These three Spirit Elixirs aren’t easy to find!”

Xu Yang rubbed his brows, then glanced up at Tuoba Hongyu—his eyes lit up.

“Your Highness, I need your help to obtain three Spirit Elixirs!” Xu Yang spoke bluntly.

Tuoba Hongyu was startled; she could never have guessed that, after slashing her, Xu Yang would now ask her for Spirit Elixirs?

“Xu Yang, you’re shameless!” Tuoba Hongyu fumed, clenching her teeth.

Xu Yang smiled indifferently, unconcerned.

Shameless? So be it.

“Jade Candle Grass, Profound Muscle Spirit Blood, Heaven-Returning Jade Mushroom!”

“Jade Candle Grass, Profound Muscle Spirit Blood… Those are ingredients for the Celestial Jade Elixir. You can refine the Celestial Jade Elixir?” Tuoba Hongyu widened her eyes in disbelief.

That’s a top-tier sixth rank!

Only a Pill King could have the skill to refine it!

The ultimate healing sacred medicine—it can even cure hidden ailments in powerful practitioners!

Extremely valuable!

Even among the Barbarian Race, few late stage Myriad Manifestations Realm Martial Artists possessed any!

“You overestimate me.” Xu Yang shrugged.

Tuoba Hongyu stared hard at Xu Yang for nearly five breaths, then said in a deep voice, “I can get you the Spirit Elixirs—but I want three Celestial Jade Elixirs!”

Tsk!

Xu Yang inhaled sharply—are you crazy?

Talk about a huge appetite.

“I’m just saving for future needs,” Xu Yang said, frowning.

Tuoba Hongyu gave a cold smile: “Xu Yang, do you really think I’m an idiot?”

“Even if you can’t refine it now, you definitely have some way to do it.”

“Maybe those Celestial Jade Elixirs aren’t for you at all!”

Xu Yang rubbed his brows—it’d be tough to pull the wool over Tuoba Hongyu’s eyes!

“One!”

“One? Then I’d rather not bother!”

“Two max—my abilities are limited,” Xu Yang insisted.

“Deal!”

“I’ll provide the ingredients,” Tuoba Hongyu replied gleefully.

“I’ll also need some spiritual objects that can replenish Essence Qi in preparation,” said Xu Yang.

“Will five pieces of Celestial Profound Essence suffice?” Tuoba Hongyu asked nonchalantly.

“Celestial Profound Essence—what’s that?”

Xu Yang looked perplexed; he’d never heard of it before.

“More than enough, kid—Celestial Profound Essence is top-grade, born in the gale layers above the clouds, adjacent to the sky canopy, containing powerful Heaven and Earth Essence!”

“If your cultivation is below the late stage of Myriad Phenomena, you don’t even qualify to refine or absorb it!”

Hearing this, Xu Yang’s heart trembled.

No doubt—it was premium stuff!

“That’s enough.”

He didn’t ask for more than he needed.

Tuoba Hongyu clearly wasn’t foolish!

She knew the Celestial Jade Elixir, clearly understood the consumption level of a Pill King.

“However, if you want the goods, you need to let me go first!” Tuoba Hongyu suddenly smiled mischievously. “Do you dare?”
