Xiao Yan directly ighat shameless old fellow Hai Bodong. The idea of master and disciple w together and refining some kind of forbidden red pill had never even crossed his mind!

  In the end, he still chose to proceed with the exge because, in his heart, he felt that a mere Four Lines White Spirit Pill wasn't enough to repay Yun Yun for the many times she had helped him.

  Whether it was with the Ten Thousa Fme or the Green Lotus Core Fme, Yun Yun's assistance had been crucial. It could be said that she was his beor.

  "Well, well, you little rascal are pnning t down the Misty Cloud Sect from the inside, aren't you?" Hai Bodong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Yan with an admiring expression.

  What geions of emperors in the Jia Ma Empire couldn't achieve might just be aplished by this young man.

  Xiao Yan paid o this old geezer ag in a manner unbeing of his age.

  He turo Hai Bodong and said, "Old Hai, do you still want the Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill? We've gathered all the medial ingredients now."

  Hai Bodong immediately dropped his wisecrag expression and turned serious when he heard Xiao Yaion the Spiritual Restoration Purple Pill, "Do you have fiden refining it successfully?"

  Refining a pill always carried a ce of failure. The Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill was a high-grade tier 5 pill. If the refi failed, who knew how long it would take to gather another plete set of ingredients.

  "If I were to refi now, the success rate wouldn't exceed 20%. So I pn to use the medial ingredients we've obtaihis time to gradually familiarize myself with refining tier 5 pills. Then I'll refihe Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill for you," Xiao Yan expined.

  "Alright, I've waited this long already; I don't mind waiting a bit longer." Hai Bodong revealed a gratified aed expression upon hearing this.

  "Rest assured, Old Hai. I will definitely refihe Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill befoing to the Misty Cloud Sect."

  Xiao Yan wasn't worried about the Misty Cloud Sect pying any tricks. What he was ed about was the Hall of Souls!

  He was now almost certain that the Hall of Souls was definitely within the Misty Cloud Sect. He had always been very wary of this mysterious and powerful anization.

  He inteo use the Hall of Souls to bee stronger, but this was undoubtedly akin to gazing into the abyss. One misstep, and there would be n back.

  Finally, the au cluded smoothly. This Tian Css Au had thhly shocked all the alchemists in the Jia Ma Empire with Xiao Yan's name. Even the eion of alchemists were vinced by his skills.

  Especially after they personally withe medial pills he had refihey no longer dared to uimate this eighteen-year-old champion of the Alchemist Graing.

  All the pills were successfully aued off without any being passed over. Xiao Yan didn't go out to meet Yun Yun and simply hahe pills over to Ya Fei to handle.

  After pleting all the procedures, Ya Fei returned backstage from the au hall. She sat down beside Xiao Yan, took a deep breath, and revealed a weary expression as she said, "Little Brother Xiao Yan, your Elder Sister has helped you a lot this time. How do you pn to repay me?"

  Xiao Yan smiled and took out a scroll from his ste ring. "This is the pill recipe for the Appearance Recovery Pill that I obtained from Yan Li."

  "Appearance Recovery Pill! The medial pill that restore one's youth!" Ya Fei's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

  Whia wish to be forever young aiful?

  "This pill recipe only restore youth for a period of time. However, I might be able to try modifying the recipe to slow down the aging process and maintain the skin's dition. Wheime es, I'll give the first pill I refio Sister Ya Fei," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

  Ya Fei, who had just bee, poised, and in trol on the au stage, now nodded her head vigorously like a little girl, her eyes filled with excitement.

  Standing aside, Hai Bodong couldn't help but secretly admire Xiao Yan. Appeasing women with pills? That should be illegal!

  "Oh, by the way, Nan Yanran asked me to tell you that she will e out from the sect's secret realm to challenge you in as soon as one month or as te as two months," Ya Fei recalled what had happened when she delivered the pills to Nan Yanran.

  Xiao Yan pondered for a moment and then slowly nodded. "Oo two months' time is enough for me to properly solidate my tier 5 alchemy skills. Then I refihe Spiritual Recovery Purple Pill for Old Hai."

  He po refiier 5 pills while honing his alchemy skills, allowing his abilities to fully reach the tier 5 level. He would use this one month to stabilize the cultivation he had raised through medial pills.

  "Also, Princess Yao Ye sent an invitatioer saying that she would like to meet with Little Brother Xiao Yan. She has something to discuss and hopes you make a trip to the pace," Ya Fei said. She and Hai Bodong gave Xiao Yan a strange look. This boy seemed to be a little too popur with the dies.

  "Princess Yao Ye currently doesn't have a didate for Prince sort," Ya Fei said with a pyful smile.

  "Sister Ya Fei is joking. How could Princess Yao Ye faneone like me from a small ? It's probably about recruiting me or askio refine pills," Xiao Yan waved his hand and accepted the invitatioer.

  …

  In the imperial pace garden.

  "Princess Yao Ye invited me here. May I ask what the matter is?" Xiao Yan raised his hand slightly and asked softly.

  Princess Yao Ye gestured for Xiao Yan to sit down and said, "Grandmaster Xiao Yan, we've met a few times now. I won't beat around the bush. Our imperial family hopes to request Grandmaster Xiao Yan's assistan refining a medial pill."

  Xiao Yan furrowed his brows, perplexed. "As far as I know, Chairman Fa Ma has a close retionship with the imperial family. Why doesn't Princess Yao Ye ask Chairman Fa Ma for help and instead e to me?"

  Although he possessed a Heavenly Fme, he khat in terms of pure alchemy skills, Chairman Fa Ma, who had been at the peak of tier 5 for a long time, was definitely superior to him.

  "Because the medial pill the imperial family needs is the Tier 6 Mixed Bone Molding Pill." Yao Ye handed a handwritten scroll to Xiao Yan.

  Xiao Yan took the scroll and g the description on it. "This pill is specifically used to heal old injuries in magical beasts, restore their strength, and remove hidden ailments. Could it be that the imperial family possesses a Rank 6 magical beast?"

  Yao Ye didn't ceal anything and nodded. "Please e with me, Grandmaster Xiao Yan. Perhaps you will uand once you see it for yourself."

  The jourook only a few minutes. After smoothly passing through yers of strict security, the two of them arrived at the shore of a huge ke before halting their steps.

  When Xiao Yan arrived, he immediately spotted Jia Xing Tian, who had been waiting there for some time. The tter also noticed the two of them at the same moment and quickly stepped forward to greet them.

  Xiao Yan smiled and swept his gaze toward the vast ke. Here, he could vaguely sense a powerful aura cealed in the depths of the ke.

  "It's in the ke?" Xiao Yan said slowly.

  Jia Xing Tian's eyes revealed a hint of astonishment. Xiao Yan's spiritual perception was actually this strong!

  "Great-Grandfather, please summon the Serene Sea Scaly Beast," Yao Ye said with a slight nod.

  Upon hearing this, Jia Xing Tian's figure fshed and appeared above the ke. His feet nded oer's surface, and then he plunged both hands into the water. Powerful Dou Qi surged forth, and as the Dou Qi poured in, the calm ke surface suddenly seemed to boil, bubbling with tless ripples.

  On the shore, Xiao Yan could clearly sehat a magical beast aura far surpassing that of the Amethyst Winged Lion King was gradually surging up from the bottom of the ke.

  Although it wasn't as strong as Queen Medusa back then, it wasn't far off. It had probably reached the level of a 7-star Dou Emperor.

  As if sensing a threat, Xiao Yahe Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing Python within the Green Lotus in his ste ring showing signs of awakening. However, it quickly returo slumber.

  A massive water pilr suddenly shot up from the ke with a loud boom, aually transformed into a rain of water droplets that fell back down.

  Roar!

  The water pilr shot into the sky as an unusual, deep beast roar suddenly resounded from the ke. After which, an enormous figure that instantly took over half of the ke emerged.

  The magical beast that appeared before Xiao Yan had an enormous, meandering body covered in deep blue scales. On its gigantic head was a blue, spiral-patterned single horn. A pair of ntern-like giant eyes made it look quite terrifying to look at.

  "This is our imperial family's guardian magical beast, the Serene Sea Scaly Beast."
