Eating It Might Just Kill You on the Spot

Top floor of the Hall of Stars.

The banquet has been prepared, and all three forces invited by Yan Emperor have arrived.

Although cultivation sects are often esoteric and have few followers, they consider themselves to be extraordinary and detached from worldly affairs.

But it wouldn't be good to easily offend Yan Emperor.

The Great Yan Imperial Dynasty is thriving, and in the land of Spirit Province, it is no less powerful than any other sect.

Besides... Dragon-Seeking Sect.

The Heavenly Extremity Pavilion Master, Dongfang Shao, glanced at an empty seat next to the Yan Emperor's.

That spot was reserved for the Dragon-Seeking Sect.

Dragon-Seeking Sect, he couldn't help but feel dissatisfied.

Moreover, the current leader of the Dragon-Seeking Sect is still just a young boy.

He lived to be so old.

Fruit Position is lower than that of a teenager?

He's jealous...

And yet, they have to wait here for so long.

His gaze then shifted to the other people.

The sect leader of the Profound Yin Sect was leisurely waiting for the banquet to begin.

The white-haired old man in the Longevity Hall closed his eyes to rest, seemingly unconcerned about the banquet.

It appeared very peaceful.

Dongfang Shao was secretly surprised, not expecting that True Person Qingyang from the Longevity Hall would also be here today.

This is a master Alchemist.

He was a legendary figure throughout Spirit Province.

The Longevity Hall became a sacred place for Alchemist because of True Person Qingyang alone.

The Longevity Hall is detached from worldly strife, focusing solely on alchemy.

In times of chaos, he would open his temple gates to practice medicine and help the needy.

He enjoys extremely high prestige.

Both the righteous and the demonic paths hold it in high regard.

Since True Person Qingyang had no complaints, Dongfang Shao could only continue to wait patiently.

Not long after.

Chen Ning and his group went up to the top floor.

It seemed someone had specifically informed them, and Yan Emperor happened to appear, smiling as he said, "Sect Leader Chen, please take a seat."

Thank you.

Chen Ning and Cang Yue sat down together in the same seats as Yan Emperor.

He sighed inwardly, thinking how well Yan Emperor had put on a show.

He's definitely destined for great things.

Which emperor wasn't arrogant? There aren't many who could be as domineering as Yan Emperor.

After taking their seats.

The banquet officially began.

The delicacies from land and sea, the exquisite dishes, are dazzling.

Yan Emperor looked down and smiled, "Do any of you know each other? Would you like me to introduce you?"

"Your Majesty need not trouble yourself. Sect Leader Chen is young and promising, having ascended to the position of sect leader at such a young age. His future is limitless. Just a few days ago, he even recited the Emperor's words, bringing blessings to Spirit Province. How could we not recognize him?"

Dongfang Shao smiled and offered some insincere pleasantries.

Dongfang Shao was utterly disdainful. He simply couldn't believe that someone so young could utter such astonishing words.

These must be the words entrusted to him by the previous sect leader in his time of crisis.

It was told through his words.

This would allow him to make a name for himself and secure his position as sect leader.

Throughout history, sacred words have always come from the mouths of the most sages and virtuous men. How could a young man possibly utter such words? Dongfang Shao was convinced that Chen Ning was merely a figurehead with an empty reputation.

It wasn't just him.

Many people had doubts after hearing about this story.

I really can't believe it.

Profound Yin Sect Duan Feng Master Duan Feng raised his wine cup in a toast, saying, "I, Duan Feng Leader Sect Leader Chen's talent and demeanor. Meeting you today, I can see you are indeed extraordinary. Sect Leader Chen, please!"

Duan Feng drank it all in one gulp.

Chen Ning saw this and also drank a cup.

Both of them had introduced themselves, but True Person Qingyang of the Longevity Hall remained with his eyes closed, not making any move.

The apprentice standing to the side then spoke up, "My ancestor doesn't drink alcohol."

Yan Emperor smiled and smoothed things over, saying, "Yes, True Person Qingyang cultivates a state of purity and detachment from desires. I am already very honored that you could come today."

The disciple from the Longevity Hall stepped forward two more times, carrying a small mahogany box in his hands.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's words have blessed Spirit Province, and the Great Yan Imperial Dynasty will prosper even more. This is a joyous occasion for Spirit Province. My ancestor has specially refined an Earth Spirit Pill to present to Your Majesty."

One word fell.

Yan Emperor's face immediately lit up with a smile, and he said with great joy, "I am even happier than if I had received this elixir because True Person Qingyang cared about me."

A servant stepped forward and took the mahogany box.

Bring them back to Yan Emperor's side.

Yan Emperor was overjoyed; the Earth Spirit Pill was a second-grade elixir.

Only master-level Alchemist can refine it.

Extremely precious.

The Earth Spirit Pill has only one effect: it can help Earth Martial Realm experts directly increase their level.

The specific number of minor realms one can break through depends on the martial artist themselves and the quality of the elixirs.

Yan Emperor opened the wooden box, and a rich fragrance of elixirs immediately wafted out.

"It has seven pill patterns! This is a top-grade Earth Spirit Pill!"

Dongfang Shao exclaimed in surprise.

I never expected the Longevity Hall to bestow such a large quantity of pills upon Yan Emperor.

This greatly surprised him.

Although the Earth Spirit Pill is ranked as a second-grade elixir.

However, different alchemists use different methods and have different levels of skill, resulting in different qualities of the pills they produce.

However, it is necessary to examine the specific details of a grade.

The purpose was to examine the patterns on the elixir.

It has a single red mark, barely qualifying it as a second-grade pill, and only has a faint medicinal fragrance.

With three or more red markings, the medicinal effect is stable.

The seven-lined cinnabar pattern can be considered top-grade.

The Earth Spirit Pill before us is a top-grade second-rank pill!

"I never expected that True Person Qingyang's alchemy skills would improve again. He's probably close to breaking through to the Grandmaster Dao of Alchemy."

An elder of the Profound Yin Sect also exclaimed in a low voice beside the sect leader Duan Feng.

There isn't a single Grandmaster of Dao of Alchemy in the entire Spirit Province.

I've only heard that there are two Grandmaster in Central Province.

"The Longevity Hall truly is a treasure trove for Alchemist! A second-grade pill with seven pill patterns—that's something else!"

"Indeed, it's easier for low-grade pills to form pill patterns, while it's more difficult for higher-grade pills to form them."

"Let's ask the Longevity Hall for a few pills in a few days."

A chorus of exclamations of praise rose from the crowd, and the two elders of the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion were even more eager to obtain the medicine.

But True Person Qingyang remained unmoved.

He never opened his eyes from beginning to end.

It's as if they're detached from it all.

Alchemist, like talisman masters, held a prestigious position and were favored by various powerful sects and factions.

High-level Alchemist are even more prestigious than talisman masters.

Many elixirs have miraculous effects.

Yan Emperor also planned to take the medicine as soon as the banquet ended, hoping to break through two more minor realms.

But just then...

An untimely voice rang out.

"I think there's something wrong with how this pill was made; eating it might kill you on the spot."

Chen Ning spoke softly, not wanting to attract attention, and simply whispered it to Cang Yue.

But Sect Leader Chen of the Dragon-Seeking Sect is a prominent figure recently.

As soon as he opened his mouth, the entire room fell silent.

Chen Ning was taken aback, realizing everyone was looking at him, and quickly said, "You guys keep talking, don't look at me, eat your food."

At this moment, Yan Emperor's expression also stiffened.

It was in this quiet and eerie atmosphere that...

True Person Qingyang, who had been resting with his eyes closed, raised his eyelids and looked at Chen Ning.
