Chapter 110: Chapter 110: The Three Great Elders of the Profound Nether Immortal Sect
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Within Lingyun Hall.
"I did it!" Shangguan Yanran exclaimed with immense joy, "Qiushui, did you see? I managed to refine it myself!"
"Yes, yes, I saw it," Ling Qiushui replied with a slight smile, "It’s just one successful attempt, look how delighted you are."
Shangguan Yanran beamed, "I’m happy because I refined it myself, and it’s been a long time since I’ve seen heavenly signs triggered by an elixir."
After three days of intense alchemy, with Ling Qiushui’s assistance, Shangguan Yanran successfully refined the third Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill.
Though the success rate is low, Shangguan Yanran was extremely pleased, at least she succeeded, and the quality of the elixirs was increasingly higher.
What delighted her the most was the improvement in her alchemy realm.
Being a Sixth Grade Alchemist, Shangguan Yanran found it extremely difficult to advance her realm, and challenging to break through to the Seventh Grade.
Having been in the Ancient Divine Sect for less than ten days, the improvements in her alchemy realm were more significant than her own cultivation over several years.
Such remarkable progress, how could she not be overjoyed?
Shangguan Yanran reached out with her jade hand, grabbing in the air, and the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill flew over.
Looking at the elixir she refined, Shangguan Yanran laughed happily, "An elixir that can trigger heavenly signs, the quality of this Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill is up to standard."
"The quality of the elixir is quite decent." Ling Qiushui nodded in satisfaction.
Ling Qiushui laughed excitedly, "I announce, Miss Yanran has passed the assessment and officially becomes my personal disciple. From today onward, you shall follow your master to a life of luxury."
"You brat! What nonsense are you spouting?" Shangguan Yanran retorted, giving Ling Qiushui a hard poke on the forehead.
"You cheeky brat! Daring to hit your master! Disrespectful! Watch how I deal with you!" Ling Qiushui scolded loudly, slapping Shangguan Yanran on the butt.
"Ah!" Shangguan Yanran screamed suddenly, her pretty face turning crimson, then she angrily exclaimed, "Ling Qiushui!"
"Haha! Catch me if you can!" Ling Qiushui swiftly ran out of the Alchemy Room.
"Don’t run! You naughty brat, stand still!" Shangguan Yanran quickly chased after her.
However.
In the midst of their playful chase, they both seemed to sense something, suddenly halting and simultaneously looking up at the sky.
"Such terrifying aura!" Shangguan Yanran frowned deeply, "A late-stage Divinity Transformation, stronger than the Ancient Sect Leader, and two Integration Stage, one of them is a Seventh Grade Alchemist, fearing that they’re here with ill intent."
Ling Qiushui furrowed her brows slightly, speculating, "It’s that old man’s soul power; they’re likely here for the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, let’s go and see."
At this moment.
Above Ancient Peak.
The Ancient Sect Leader and the three Elders had already appeared, as did many strong members of the Ancient Divine Sect arriving one after another.
Disciples from various main peaks also rushed to Ancient Peak at this moment.
"Seventh Grade Alchemist." Celestial Monarch Xing frowned, "This soul power is... Mu Qingwang, didn’t expect it to alarm the Profound Nether Immortal Sect."
The Ancient Sect Leader furrowed his old brows slightly, expressing some concern, "The sect already anticipated it wouldn’t be smooth sailing, what’s meant to come has indeed arrived."
It’s been three days since the news of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill spread, and prominent sects coming to seek it is only normal.
The Second Elder expressed concern as well, "Profound Nether Immortal Sect is a subsidiary of the Soul-Devouring Sect, fearing they come with bad intentions."
The Profound Nether Immortal Sect is a major sect in the cultivation realm, with a heritage lasting thousands of years, their strength far surpasses the Ancient Divine Sect.
Precisely because of this, the Ancient Sect Leader showed worry.
"Such terrifying aura, stronger than the Sect Leader, are they here for the elixir as well?"
"What kind of elixir is the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill? Why are so many people fighting for it?"
"Isn’t the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill just a Sixth Grade pill? Why would Divinity Transformation and Integration Stage powerhouses come? Could they be here to snatch the elixir?"
The disciples of the Ancient Divine Sect discussed in confusion.
"Is the Ancient Sect Leader trying to shut us out?" An elderly, light-hearted voice resounded within the Ancient Divine Sect.
The Ancient Sect Leader waved his hand, the massive array protecting the Ancient Divine Sect suddenly emitted a blue light and then vanished into thin air.
The full view of the Ancient Divine Sect was revealed.
Above the Ancient Divine Sect, there were three elders, their terrifying aura enveloping the sect instantly.
Leading them was the black-robed elder, Mie Xiaoyao, the Grand Elder of the Profound Nether Immortal Sect, followed by the Second Elder Mu Qingwang and the Third Elder Lin Yihan.
The presence of the three elders together indicated their significant attention.
The Ancient Sect Leader clasped his hands courteously and smiled, "Welcome, three elders from the Profound Nether Immortal Sect."
Mie Xiaoyao gently stroked his beard, smiling lightly, "The Ancient Sect Leader is too kind."
Glancing at the members of the Ancient Divine Sect, Mie Xiaoyao smiled again, "The Ancient Divine Sect has produced an extraordinary genius alchemist, one who refined the mystical Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, a pill beyond the reach of any alchemist in the cultivation realm."
The Ancient Sect Leader smiled indifferently, "Elder Mie is too kind."
"Fairy Qiushui is truly remarkable, surpassing all alchemists in the cultivation realm at such a young age, indeed a genius among geniuses, embarrassing us elders," Mu Qingwang praised, hiding his envy.
"Thank you for the compliment, Elder Mu," Ling Qiushui’s gentle laughter came.
Two graceful figures flashed into appearance; it was Ling Qiushui and Shangguan Yanran.
Mu Qingwang looked at Ling Qiushui, clasping his hands and smiling, "With the debut of the Heaven and Earth Immortal Spirit Pill, Fairy Qiushui has truly made a name in the cultivation realm, even Seventh and Eighth Grade Alchemists fall short of Fairy Qiushui."
"Elder Mu overestimates me," Ling Qiushui modestly smiled, "I merely possess a Sixth Grade realm, far from Seventh and Eighth Grades."
"Fairy Qiushui need not be humble," Mie Xiaoyao smiled courteously, "The pill formula given by Fairy Qiushui has been reviewed by many Seventh Grade Alchemists, yet none can refine it, even Eighth Grade Alchemists lack confidence."
Mu Qingwang continued to smile, "I too reviewed the pill formula, and attempted to refine it yesterday, sadly failing; the formula is incredibly complex and extraordinarily challenging, exceeding my expectations."
"Since Fairy Qiushui shared the formula, wishing to benefit the cultivation realm, why not disclose the refining technique to me? I assure the Profound Nether Immortal Sect will protect the Ancient Divine Sect from harm, something for Fairy Qiushui to consider."
Mu Qingwang’s remark, though seemingly courteous, carried a sense of threat.
The Ancient Sect Leader, three elders, numerous strong members, and disciples, all their faces darkened.
"That old guy really has no shame to say such things," Shangguan Yanran muttered under her breath.
Ling Qiushui looked at Mu Qingwang, smiling slightly, "If a Sixth Grade Alchemist like myself can refine it, I believe with the formula, Elder Mu could do it too, given some time."
"The realm of a Seventh Grade Alchemist is quite impressive in the cultivation realm."
