An unexpected turn

The [Profound Gold Pill] refined by True Man He is naturally not available for purchase on the market.

For ordinary cultivators, only those who have achieved a certain status in Heavenly Star City can purchase the [Profound Gold Pill] refined by True Man He through various channels.

If Lu Ming hadn't found Su Bai's connection, he could only have purchased [Profound Gold Pill] made by other Alchemist or Breakthrough Pill of a lower quality through ordinary channels as Spirit Ascension.

After Lu Ming explained his request and received a reply from Su Bai, he took his leave.

After watching him leave, Su Bai pondered for a moment, then sent a Flying Letter to his Master True Man He, explaining the reason for the matter.

True Man He highly valued Su Bai, his only Disciple.

Although he was still refining pills within the Secret Realm, a short while later, the mini Pill Furnace on Su Bai's body received a reply.

"Yes, you can come to the Secret Realm to retrieve it yourself."

Upon hearing the reply, Su Bai did not delay and immediately set off for the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.

True Man He granted Su Bai permission to freely enter and exit the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.

Teleporting from the Star Luo Pill Pavilion's Teleportation Array to the entrance of the Secret Realm realm on the sea, Su Bai slightly connected with the Secret Realm Origin between his brows. The next moment, a suction force came, and Su Bai appeared inside the Secret Realm.

The Pill Pavilion Secret Realm remained as tranquil as ever.

Su Bai darted towards the Pill Furnace building in the Center.

They met the True Man He was guarding the Pill Furnace.

In addition, Su Bai also saw two other Golden Core Cultivator, Tong Liu and Qian Lu.

Both of them are at the Mid Golden Core and are also the Vice Pavilion Master of the Star Luo Pill Pavilion, as well as two other heavyweight figures in the Alchemy Street.

Su Bai had met these two before at the Disciple Recruitment Ceremony.

At this moment, the two Vice Pavilion Master, with solemn expressions, were guarding the radiant Pill Furnace in the hall together with True Man He.

A single batch of Pill had alarmed three Golden Core Stage Alchemist, making Su Bai Consciousness that the importance of the Spirit Pills being refined in this Pill Furnace was beyond his imagination.

True Man He naturally noticed Su Bai's arrival.

He smiled at Su Bai.

He waved gently.

The next moment, a rather exquisite Jade Bottle flew over and stopped in front of Su Bai, landing lightly in Su Bai's hand.

Su Bai reached for the Jade Bottle, gently opened it, and inside was the [Profound Gold Pill], worth a million Spirit Stone.

Su Bai was slightly surprised, not expecting his Master to hand over this Spirit Pills to him so easily.

Seemingly noticing the surprise on Su Bai's face, a voice transmission from True Man He appeared in Su Bai's mind. "As the saying goes, the Dharma should not be lightly passed on."

"For Alchemist, the Spirit Pills we refine are our own magic."

"From now on, you must cherish the Spirit Pills you refine yourself and not give them away carelessly."

"However, Master trusts your judgment."

"Since you're here to ask me for the Spirit Pills on behalf of your fellow Daoist, then there must be something about him that you value."

"By using Spirit Pills on suitable and worthwhile investments, we Alchemist can make many friends in the Cultivation World."

Su Bai bowed to True Man He in the distance, "Master, I will give the spirit stones to you after I receive Spirit Stone."

They did not receive a reply from True Man He.

With a loud bang.

A violent explosion of the Pill Furnace rang out.

The Alchemy Furnace between the three Golden Core Stage Alchemist suddenly exploded, and the Pill Furnace Lid was blown off its hinges before coming to a stop after encountering Magic Array set up in advance by True Man He.

Su Bai was startled. What grade of Spirit Pills was this? The power of the furnace explosion could have injured him. Fortunately, Defense Formation Array had been set up in advance.

Su Bai remained silent because he noticed that his Master's three Golden Core cultivators looked extremely unwell.

The three of them worked together to refine the alchemy for half a month, but unexpectedly, the furnace exploded. Even the Golden Core Stage Alchemist couldn't hold back anymore.

"Old Crane, that's too much for you."

"The difficulty in refining this Fourth Tier Spirit Pills is no less than that of the Golden Core Stage Breakthrough Pill."

"The Feng Family only provided one set of Spirit Medicine Ingredients and expects us to succeed in refining it. That's too much to ask of us," said Vice Pavilion Master Tong Liu slowly. Qian Lu, standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

True Man He a helpless, bitter smile, "Who can blame him when the Feng Family is behind the Alchemy Street?"

"Without the strong support of the Feng Family Ancestor, the Alchemy Street could not have become so prosperous."

"Over the years, our Alchemy Street has made a lot of money."

"If we cannot help the Feng Family Ancestor in this calamity, and lose this backer, there will be many people in the Heavenly Star Alliance who want to take over the Alchemy Street."

"After all these years of getting along, do you really think anyone has been more friendly to us than the Feng Family?"

Tong Liu and Qian Lu both lowered their heads and remained silent.

Su Bai, standing to the side, was completely confused. He could only glean that the Alchemy Street was facing a crisis, and that the so-called Feng Family... was probably one of the four most powerful Four Great Clans in the Heavenly Star Alliance.

The Feng Family Ancestor was a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

So, behind the Alchemy Street lies the Feng Family! No wonder they've grown to this level!

"The failure to refine the Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill must not be publicized."

"We need to find a way to resolve this matter," True Man He, glancing at Su Bai almost imperceptibly.

Su Bai immediately cupped his hands and replied, "This Disciple knows nothing."

Tong Liu and Qian Lu also tacitly agreed, acknowledging that it was not easy for the Feng Family to gather the Spirit Medicine Ingredients for this Fourth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Pills.

If the alchemy fails, it means that the Feng Family Ancestor will have no way out for a short period of time.

There is also considerable political infighting within the Heavenly Star Alliance. The release of this news and the actions of political enemies are undoubtedly extremely detrimental to the Feng Family Ancestor.

Therefore, this information must absolutely not be leaked.

"Let's gather another batch of the Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill's spirit medicine."

"With this experience, the chances of success next time should be around 40% to 50%," True Man He said solemnly.

Tong Liu smiled wryly, "Old Crane, the Feng Family is the one who supplies us with Spirit Medicine Ingredients. They only managed to gather one portion. Where do you think we can get more?"

"Go to Demon Star City? If we Golden Core cultivators go there, we'll probably be devoured alive by those Demon Race the moment we arrive."

True Man He's expression remained unchanged. "Of course it's not us going."

"There are people from the Heavenly Star Alliance watching us. Since we are still in the Secret Realm, we can say that we are still researching Spirit Pills. If we appear in the outside world now, wouldn't that be telling everyone that we have failed in our elixir refining?"

True Man He's gaze fell on Su Bai.

"Lu Jiu, make a trip to Sea Star City. The Merfolk Third Prince of the Sea Tribe and I have a past relationship; he owes me a huge favor. Ask him to find a way to help gather the Spirit Medicine Ingredients."

As Top Grade Alchemist among the Human Race of True Man He Demon Star Sea, Master He's network of relationships naturally extends beyond the Human Race.

Su Bai was slightly taken aback, "This..."

"What? You're unwilling?" True Man He frowned slightly.

Su Bai said, "Master, I am willing to share Master Disciple, but my Disciple is too low. I fear that I might encounter danger in Sea Star City and perish before completing the task you assigned me."

"Don't worry, I'll create a Clone to stay by your side."

"Even if Demon General at the Golden Core stage attacks you, your Clone can still entangle them for a while, giving you a chance to escape," said True Man He.

Upon hearing this, Su Bai nodded, "In that case, this Disciple is willing to share Master's burdens."

"Good! Finding spirit medicine is no easy task. We'll discuss the details later." True Man He looked at Su Bai with considerable satisfaction, realizing he hadn't misjudged this Disciple.

At this moment, Qian Lu also spoke up, "Lu Jiu's cultivation level is low after all. I'll inform Lan Yan later so we can travel together."

Upon hearing this, True Man He nodded in agreement.

This also shows that Su Bai and Lan Yan are undoubtedly the successors they recognize, as they were able to pass on such an important matter.

Tong Liu has not yet accepted Disciple. After thinking for a moment, he took out a Jade Bottle, waved it, and it fell into Su Bai's hand.

"Your cultivation level is a bit low, and this journey is dangerous. This Spirit Pills can help you break through a minor realm; it's better than nothing."
