Sound Valley Old Ancestor

Just then, a series of white figures flew over and instantly stopped not far in front of Xiao Ming and the others. They were all beautiful young women with graceful figures and above-average looks.

The moment they saw Xiao Ming and the others, their beautiful faces revealed a wary expression.

"Who goes there? Why do you trespass into my Sound Valley...?"

"Xiao Ming of Pill Tower has come at your invitation." Xiao Ming smiled and threw out the token in his hand, along with the invitation from Sound Valley to Pill Tower.

After receiving the token and verifying its authenticity, the female disciples instantly melted away like ice and snow meeting the sun, revealing smiles.

The woman at the head of the group chuckled softly, "So it's Elder Xiao Ming. The Valley Master instructed us to come with you."

After saying that, she moved her delicate body and immediately took off into the air, flying towards the center of the bamboo forest.

Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian, and the others then took to the air and followed behind him, flying towards the center of the bamboo forest.

After Xiao Ming, Xiao Yi Xian Qing Lin, and the others left, the women immediately started chattering amongst themselves.

"Wow, Mr. Xiao Ming is so handsome, hee hee..."

"Hehe, I've heard the elders say that Elder Xiao Ming refined Grade 8 Pill before he was even eighteen, and passed the Pill Tower's selection process to become the youngest of the Eight Great Elders in the Pill Tower's history. Such talent is simply terrifying..."

"Unfortunately, he already has a beautiful woman by his side; he certainly wouldn't look at us..."

"..."

"What are you all doing gathered here? Go patrol!"

An old woman suddenly appeared, and upon seeing the noisy scene, she shouted angrily.

"Yes!"

Immediately, the women scattered in all directions.

Within the Sound Valley.

Several long streaks of light streaked across the sky, flying towards the heart of the Sound Valley, deep into the bamboo forest. A woman led the way, and they encountered no obstacles along the way.

Just a few minutes later, Xiao Ming could see a heavily guarded palace standing there, with countless disciples hidden both in the open and in the shadows around it, alert to any movement from any direction.

With a swift movement, the woman changed her flight path and descended rapidly towards the palace below, with Xiao Ming and the others following closely behind.

Walking on air, Xiao Ming landed lightly on the ground. He looked at the palace in front of him. It wasn't very big, and it was quite conventional, even somewhat resembling a bedroom.

The woman stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "Valley Master, Elder Xiao Ming has arrived!"

Before the words were finished, the palace gates were opened, and a voluptuous woman in palace attire appeared in everyone's sight.

The beautiful woman's gaze swept over the crowd before settling on Xiao Ming's face, a look of delight appearing on her lips.

"Little one, you're finally here. Come on in and let's talk."

"Valley Master Qing Yi, isn't this a bit inappropriate?" Xiao Ming didn't move, looking hesitantly at what appeared to be a bedroom.

"... Never mind, come with me."

Seeing Xiao Ming's hesitation, Qing Yi realized that she didn't actually mind Xiao Ming, whose appearance suited her taste, entering her room. However, Xiao Ming was accompanied by the old man Venerable Tian Huo.

Therefore, she could only take Xiao Ming to the reception room of another palace and order someone to serve him tea.

After tasting the tea, Xiao Ming turned to Qing Yi, who was seated at the head of the table, and asked, "Did Valley Master Qing Yi send someone to the Pill Tower to invite me because you need me to refine that pill?"

"Everyone says you can just call me Sister Qing." Qing Yi smiled at Xiao Ming, her beauty instantly blooming like a hundred flowers, captivating everyone, which made Xiao Yi Xian look at her.

Xiao Ming chuckled dryly, feeling that although Qing Yi was beautiful, something seemed off about her compared to when they first met.

Seeing that Xiao Ming wouldn't change his mind, Qing Yi sighed, then said somewhat dejectedly, "Fine, if you don't want to, then forget it."

"The reason I summoned you here, little one, is indeed regarding that elixir. I wonder if you are currently capable of refining Grade Eight Six-Colored Medicinal Pill?"

"Eighth-grade Six-colored? That shouldn't be a problem, but I need to see the Pill Formula to estimate the Pill Success Rate."

Xiao Ming nodded slightly. With his current strength, Eighth Grade Six-Colored Pill was indeed not a problem.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi's eyes lit up. Without any doubt, she smiled at Xiao Ming and said, "It hasn't been long, and you're already able to refine Eighth-grade Six-colored pill! Your Sister Qing really wasn't wrong about you."

"Here, is the Pill Formula."

A cyan scroll was thrown over, which Xiao Ming casually caught. He probed it with his Soul Power, and a few minutes later, he opened his eyes.

"How is it?" Qing Yi asked upon seeing this.

"This Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill has an extremely yang attribute and requires Heavenly Flames to be refined into a pill. It also requires special techniques and multiple transformations during the refining process. The lowest level is the Third Revolution pill, which is Eighth Grade, three-color pill, while the highest Nine Revolutions is Eighth-Tier Nine-Colored Pill. After successful refining, the Alchemist refined it still needs to use it with special techniques."

"Since Senior Qing Yi mentioned six colors, it's clear that I need to transform them six times. That's incredibly difficult."

"Is the Pill Success Rate low?"

Qing Yi Alchemist and didn't know much about this field. Hearing Xiao Ming it as very difficult, her delicate brows furrowed slightly.

"No, if it's Six Revolutions upgrade, I'm about 80% sure." Xiao Ming shook his head.

"Phew~ Don't breathe so heavily next time you speak." Qing Yi sighed softly, patted her ample chest, and scolded playfully.

"From what you're saying, the Nine Revolutions Refinement technique can also be created?"

"Thirty percent, I guess," Xiao Ming replied, pursing his lips.

"Thirty percent!" Qing Yi's eyes flickered slightly; that probability wasn't low.

"Then please refine the Nine Revolutions Elixir. I have already prepared the reward."

Xiao Ming: "..."

Is there anything difficult about it?

"No, I'm just curious what use you have for this pill. If it's usable at the Six Revolutions, I still recommend refining the Six Revolutions."

A 30% Pill Success Rate in refining pills might seem high to others, given the well-known difficulty of producing Eighth-Tier Nine-Colored Pill. Anyone who can refine pills of this caliber can be considered to have reached the pinnacle of Alchemist.

However, Xiao Ming felt that the amount was a bit low. He worried that all the medicinal herbs might be wasted, leaving no pills to refine. Although he wouldn't have any problems, it would still be somewhat embarrassing.

Upon hearing this, Qing Yi hesitated for a moment before sighing.

"Is this actually related to my Sound Valley Ancestor?"

"Sound Valley Ancestor..." Xiao Ming nodded in realization. It's normal for Sound Valley to have an Old Ancestor since Burning Flame Valley has Fire Cloud Ancestor. Only Ice River Valley is the worst, it has nothing.

"Our Old Ancestor were twins. They once traveled to the Fallen God Ice Plain for the sake of Nai Qiong Divine Ice. There, they were injured by an Advanced Ban Sheng- level Ice Dragon Scorpion and Cold Poison by its Ice Dragon Scorpion."

"They used to rely on their cultivation to tough it out, but now, sigh..."

As she spoke, Qing Yi sighed. It was clear that the Old Ancestor of Sound Valley could no longer withstand the pressure, and therefore needed the Nine Revolutions Returning Yang Pill.
