Return!

Su Bai did not delay.

After returning to Heavenly Star City, he took the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit and went straight to the Star Luo Pill Pavilion.

They were then teleported to the sea surface where the Star Luo Pill Pavilion Secret Realm was located via the Star Luo Pill Pavilion's Teleportation Array.

The Secret Realm Mark between his eyebrows flashed, and the Secret Realm Entrance realm opened automatically. A familiar Whirlpool appeared in the sea, and Su Bai darted into the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.

Familiar volcanoes came into view all around.

As soon as Su Bai entered the Secret Realm, he heard True Man He's Divine Sense Transmission in his mind. "You brat, never act alone again."

Clearly, Su Bai's decision to leave Lan Yan behind and act alone this time has caused True Man He considerable worry.

Su Bai was pondering how to reply to his Master.

The next moment, three Golden Core Stage Alchemist from the Star Luo Pill Pavilion appeared in front of Su Bai.

Su Bai cupped his hands in greeting to the three of them, deciding to set aside the topic for the time being. He patted his Storage Bag, took out the Jade Box containing the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit, and presented it to them using his Object Manipulation Technique.

"Master, your Disciple has successfully fulfilled his mission and obtained the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit," Su Bai said softly.

Upon hearing this, the three Golden Core Cultivator were all taken aback.

This was truly a pleasant surprise for True Man He and the other two.

When Lan Yan returned, no one thought that Su Bai, who had rashly decided to act alone, would be able to bring back the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit.

The chances are extremely slim.

Even True Man He was prepared to resort to a desperate measure before Su Bai returned.

But now, unexpectedly, Su Bai not only brought back the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit, but also didn't delay the whole process for too long.

True Man He waved his hand, took the Jade Box, opened it, and examined it. "It really is the Great Void Origin Returning Fruit!"

"At this stage, there's nothing good to reward you with, so your Master will just give you Spirit Stone as a reward."

With True Man He sent a Storage Bag into Su Bai's hand.

Su Bai took the Storage Bag and Consciousness focused his Divine Sense to check it. To his surprise, it contained another two hundred High-grade Spirit Stone!

If converted into Low-grade Spirit Stone, that's two million!

Su Bai was about to explain that he hadn't spent all of the three million his Master had given him.

True Man He quickly followed up, asking, "Are the Spirit Stone I gave you earlier enough to purchase this Great Void Origin Returning Fruit?"

"More than enough..." Su Bai thought to himself, "Apart from the teleportation fee, I didn't spend a single penny!"

The two Fifth-tier Spirit Medicine from the Merfolk Third Prince were a gift; he refused to accept Spirit Stone.

The Great Void Origin Returning Fruit obtained from the Golden Toad was traded by Su Bai for the Spirit Pills he had refined himself.

That's equivalent to three million Spirit Stone remaining basically untouched.

"Then the rest will be your reward!" True Man He waved his hand and said generously.

Su Bai swallowed hard. So, five million Spirit Stone had arrived? What the hell was the point of Assassin?!

Even if he poured his heart and soul into running the Number Nine Pill Shop every day, it would still take him at least ten years to accumulate five million.

Not to mention that there are many times during cultivation when it is impossible to refine pills, plus the daily consumption of cultivation, it would definitely take far more than ten years to accumulate five million pills.

"The spirit medicine have been gathered. I'd like to have a good talk with my good Disciple. You two go ahead and do the preparations. This time, we must succeed in refining it on the first try," said True Man He.

Tong Liu and Qian Lu smiled faintly, then swept away, leaving the space to True Man He and Su Bai.

"This time, it has truly been difficult for you and Lan Yan," True Man He apologetically.

However, this matter cannot be entrusted to anyone other than Su Bai and Lan Yan.

Only Su Bai and Lan Yan, the direct Disciple of the Pavilion Master and Vice Pavilion Master, can be trusted, and will they be able to work with peace of mind and not spread this matter.

Su Bai cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and said earnestly, "I am truly honored to be able to relieve Master's Disciple."

True Man He laughed heartily, becoming increasingly satisfied with this Disciple.

"The Spirit Stone your Master rewarded you with this time are enough for your cultivation needs. From now on, focus on your own cultivation."

"You are different from Lan Yan. He lacks confidence in advancing to the Golden Core, so he has been delaying the process. Refining Spirit Pills to earn Spirit Stone is merely a temporary measure."

"A storm is brewing for the Star Luo Pill Pavilion. Even if the Feng Family Ancestor survives this time, no one can escape his impending death. He cannot hold on for long." True Man He stopped there.

With the death of the Feng Family Ancestor, which faction within the Heavenly Star Alliance should control the immense profits of the Alchemy Street?

How should Star Luo Pill Pavilion itself in the midst of the power struggle? He True Man He and Su Bai, True Man He's only Disciple, are certainly at the center of the Whirlpool and cannot escape it.

"After returning today, I can occasionally refine pills to maintain my skills and cover daily expenses; there's no need to make pill refining my main occupation to earn Spirit Stone."

"Your Dao Heart is firm; Pill Formula in one fell swoop!"

"Once you Golden Core Formation stage, our paths as master and disciple will have many more possibilities!"

"From today onwards, you will focus all your attention on cultivation. Lan Yan mentioned upon his return that you were able to fight three Rogue Cultivator single-handedly using Thunder Method? Your Lightning Attribute Spell Talent seems quite strong."

After Lan Yan returned, he embellished Su Bai's Combat Ability.

It's practically like they're saying Su Bai is the reincarnation of Thor.

The three, True Man He, were naturally extremely surprised. However, although Lan Yan was timid, he was usually a man who always told the truth, so they naturally believed what Lan Yan said.

Su Bai nodded slightly. "It was just luck. This Disciple does indeed have some Talent in Thunder Method..."

"Rogue Cultivator are all skilled in combat; this is no accident. It seems your life as a rogue cultivator must have been very exciting. Since your Combat Talent is so terrifying, it must be no less effective than your alchemy skills in improving cultivation and honing your techniques."

"If my Combat Ability were superior, many options would be... Never mind, let's not discuss this!"

"You need to find a balance between cultivation time and alchemy time..."

After a long talk, True Man He meant that Su Bai should temporarily slow down his alchemy practice, stop running the shop, and focus on his cultivation first, as he had no shortage of Spirit Stone stones.

A storm is brewing; first, one must Golden Core Formation to enhance Combat Power, thus surviving longer and having more options in the face of adversity.

Now that he possesses a fortune of five million Spirit Stone, Su Bai naturally has no shortage of resources for cultivation. After a moment's thought, he decided to follow True Man He's advice and focus on cultivation and Law Technique practice.

Of the three Upper Grade Lightning Attribute Law Technique, Su Bai has only mastered [Myriad Lightning Lure] so far.

True Man He didn't chat with Su Bai for long before returning to the Pill Furnace building to begin refining pills.

The [Nine Revolutions Purple Mansion Pill] needs to be refined for quite some time; the time for the Feng Family Ancestor cannot be delayed.

They were teleported away from the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.

Su Bai quickly returned to the Number Nine Pill Shop.

During his trip away, which lasted only a few days, the shops remained largely unchanged. Zhang Ying was even Su Bai had returned so quickly.

After briefly explaining the potential decrease in future Pill production, Su Bai went to the nearby Spirit Materials Street to purchase some Geng Metal items to enhance his Sword Soul.

The total cost was 150,000 Spirit Stone. With all preparations complete, Su Bai began his intensive cultivation.
