The South Sea Alchemy Grand Gathering

The Pill Pavilion Secret Realm.

Su Bai at the stone table for his Master to finish refining pills and emerge from seclusion.

Before returning to Qingzhou, I need to inform my Master.

By the way... I need to ask my Master for the Profound Gold Pill.

Although those with Heavenly Spirit Root have a certain probability of achieving Golden Core Formation even without using Breakthrough Pill.

But with Master who is a high-level Alchemist here, we're naturally more confident about the Breakthrough Pill.

Golden Core Stage Alchemist typically spends several days refining pills each time, with no upper limit.

Su Bai waited in the Secret Realm for a full five days.

True Man He appeared before Su Bai, looking slightly tired.

"Master, you seem to be quite weak after refining the pills this time?" Su Bai asked jokingly, bowing respectfully.

True Man He sighed softly, "You brat, do you think Breakthrough Pill the Nascent Soul Realm stage is so easy to refine?"

"Both your Tong Liu and senior uncle Qian Lu were seriously injured in this furnace explosion."

"Fortunately, they helped suppress it; if I had been refining pills alone, I would have been seriously injured this time."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai clicked his tongue in amazement. The refining of this Top Grade Spirit Pills was terrifying; an explosion in the furnace could even injure Golden Core Cultivator.

However, it's understandable when you think about it. Top Grade Spirit Pills use Fifth Rank- or sixth-tier spirit medicine that contain terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. Compressing and Refinement these spirit medicine into Spirit Pills is not much different from making bombs.

"Hmm? You've advanced to the Peak Foundation Establishment." True Man He immediately recognized Su Bai's current Cultivation Realm.

Su Bai chuckled and cupped his hands, saying, "I can't hide it from you, Master. During my travels, I was fortunate enough to find some fortuitous opportunity and advanced to the Peak Foundation Establishment. I wanted to tell Master that I intend to make the most of this opportunity and advance to the Golden Core Stage within the next few years."

True Man He naturally didn't inquire about Su Bai's so-called "fortuitous opportunity," but simply nodded in agreement. "If you can advance to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop, that would be ideal."

"If you advance to the Golden Core stage, then I have something for you to do."

Su Bai was slightly taken aback. "What is it?"

True Man He spoke up, "The Heavenly Star Alliance informed me some time ago that they will attempt to form an alliance with the Nine Islands forces of the Southern Sea Cultivation World to expand the influence of the Human Race Cultivation World."

"The two Cultivation World are so far apart that there are many things they don't understand about each other."

"Therefore, it was proposed that before forming an alliance, each side should hold a grand event and send Elite Cultivator to the other's Cultivation World to participate in the event and take the opportunity to exchange ideas."

"In the Southern Sea Cultivation World, it's said that their alchemy skills are quite good. They'll be holding a South Sea Alchemy Grand Gathering first, and the Heavenly Star Alliance intends for the Star Luo Pill Pavilion to submit half of the list."

"After the alchemy competition, the Heavenly Star Alliance will hold the Heavenly Star Magic Duel Tournament, but that's none of your business."

"If you advance to the Golden Core stage, I will let you lead the team to this South Sea Alchemy Grand Gathering."

This is a great opportunity to shine. If Su Bai can take on this important task, his reputation in the Heavenly Star Alliance will naturally rise in the future.

The Star Luo Pill Pavilion will eventually be integrated into the Heavenly Star Alliance. At that time, it would not seem so abrupt if Su Bai, Cultivator who has grown up in Heavenly Star City since his youth, led the Star Luo Pill Pavilion to fully integrate into the Heavenly Star Alliance.

After hearing this, Su Bai coughed lightly. "This... Master trusts me so much?"

True Man He laughed heartily, "Do you think I don't know your Talent? You're unparalleled in both alchemy and Combat. If I don't trust you, who will I trust?"

Su Bai felt a warmth in his heart upon hearing this, and said, "Since it is Master's consideration, this Disciple will naturally do his best."

True Man He nodded slightly. "You don't need to be too nervous. It's just an exchange after all. It doesn't matter if you lose face. After all, you are a junior. That girl from the Ying Family should be leading the team with you. The two of you can look after each other. In addition, the Heavenly Star Alliance will have Nascent Soul Cultivator escorting you. There's no need to worry about any accidents."

"But Master, I'm afraid Disciple advancement to the Golden Core stage won't be completed in a short time," Su Bai said.

True Man He smiled and said, "Do you think an alliance between two major forces can be formed so easily? Especially since the Upper Nine Islands of the Southern Sea Cultivation World are different from our Heavenly Star Alliance, with deep-seated differences. Don't worry, the two major cultivation forces have plenty of time to negotiate, enough time to wait for your return after advancing to the Golden Core stage."

Upon hearing this, Su Bai naturally cupped his hands in agreement.

True Man He waved his hand, and a small bag appeared in front of Su Bai.

"The Profound Gold Pill, and three Third-tier Spirit Pill to aid your advancement. I wish you success in your advancement to the Golden Core stage. Have you chosen a location for the breakthrough? You can do it directly within the Pill Pavilion Secret Realm. I will mobilize the Spiritual Qi of the Secret Realm to assist you in the breakthrough, and your safety will be guaranteed."

Su Bai reached out and took the small bag.

"Thank you for your kindness Master!"

"However, Disciple still have some matters to sort out in the mortal world, so I may choose to Golden Core Formation outside," Su Bai said.

Upon hearing this, True Man He nodded, knowing that Su Bai had some secrets he was reluctant to discuss, and didn't ask any further questions, "You may go."

"If anything happens, you can be teleported back to the Secret Realm at any time. Even if you fail to advance, I have a way to preserve your foundation."

Su Bai bowed in thanks, then stood up. His Master had already disappeared from his sight, presumably having gone back to recuperate.

The damage caused by the furnace explosion during the alchemy process appears to be quite severe.

After a moment's thought, Su Bai returned to Heavenly Star City via the Teleportation Array.

Even if the advancement to the Golden Core stage is done quickly, it will still take at least a year and a half.

Su Bai met with everyone he needed to see in Heavenly Star City.

Naturally, he received a blessing for successfully advancing to the Golden Core stage.

Thus, on this day, after giving Zhang Ying instructions, Su Bai quietly slipped away from Profound Pill Market.

The Demon Star Sea is an unknown distance from the Qingzhou Cultivation World; if one were to travel by Sword Flight, it would take at least half a year to reach it.

Therefore, Su Bai naturally planned to return to Qingzhou via the Teleportation Array of [Azure Fish Hall].

Su Bai used the Teleportation Array in the Star Sea Teleportation Area to travel to a sea area controlled by the Heavenly Star Alliance that was relatively close to Azure Fish Island.

This sea area is a Stronghold for the Heavenly Star Alliance Cultivator to hunt Demon Beast.

The Cultivator came to this Teleportation Outpost were all in large groups, exuding a murderous aura.

Su Bai did not linger any longer. He took to the Sky-Flying and leaped towards Azure Fish Island.

Azure Fish Island is located in a truly remote area.

Only with the Azure Fish Talisman in hand can one pinpoint the exact location.

Su Bai traveled for many days before finally seeing the same sea area again.

The concentration of Spiritual Qi in this sea area is not high, so the number of sea Demon Beast is naturally not large.

Moreover, rumors circulate that a strange and eccentric cultivation Lineage resides in this sea area, forbidding cultivators from Sky-Flying in this area and punishing violators with death. Therefore, cultivators generally do not approach this sea area.

Su Bai patted his Storage Bag, took out the wooden boat he had prepared in advance, put on the Azure Fish Hall mask, and the familiar black robe slowly grew and enveloped his body.

Su Bai then used his Spiritual Power to propel the wooden boat toward Azure Fish Island.

Before long, Su Bai saw the Azure Fish Island pier, which he hadn't seen in a long time, and the Azure Fish Hall assassin, dressed the same as him, occasionally driving wooden boats back and forth.
