Before the words were even finished, he saw the youth following behind Laozi.

Luo Xuan's eyes flickered slightly. "Master, who is this?"

Laozi chuckled, "This is my newly accepted disciple from the Human Race, named Xuan Du."

As expected!

Luo Xuan pretended to be unaware and smiled, nodding at Xuan Du.

Seeing his idol in person, the youth's face instantly turned red.

"Senior Luo, is it really you?"

Luo Xuan's lips twitched. Why did that sound so awkward?

Looking at Xuan Du's adoring expression, Luo Xuan said, "Since you are Master's disciple, you can call me Senior Brother from now on."

Luo Xuan looked at Laozi. "Master, what about the matters concerning the Heavenly Origin Sect and the Intercepting Sect..."

Laozi waved his hand indifferently. "I already know about it. You did well."

Looking at Luo Xuan, Laozi's eyes held a hint of relief and a trace of gratitude.

If it weren't for Luo Xuan, the Three Pure Ones wouldn't know when they would have broken through to become Saints.

Immediately, Laozi's gaze fell upon the Jade Slip in Luo Xuan's hand. After a moment, he frowned.

"Six Revolutions Vast Yellow Elixir? The difficulty of this elixir shouldn't be that great for you, right?"

The Vast Yellow Elixir was considered one of the easier Six Revolutions elixirs.

With Luo Xuan's talent, wouldn't he have learned to refine it in three thousand years?

Luo Xuan smiled. "Of course not. It's just that I feel this formula..."

"Is wrong."

Laozi was slightly stunned, raising an eyebrow. "You think the formula is problematic?"

All the formulas in Taiqing Palace were personally inscribed into Jade Slips by Laozi, stroke by stroke. How could there be a mistake?

Luo Xuan handed the Jade Slip in his hand to Laozi. "Master once said that all things have spirits, and elixirs are no different."

Laozi nodded. "That's right, I did say that. Is there a problem with that?"

Luo Xuan smiled. "There's no problem with that, it's just... I'll refine a batch of Vast Yellow Elixir for Master to see."

Seeing Laozi nod, Luo Xuan walked to the Alchemy Furnace and began refining the elixir with his spiritual fire.

Soon, Laozi's brow furrowed slightly.

No, the fire here is too strong, it needs to be smaller... This part is also wrong... Biquge789

Laozi watched Luo Xuan refine the elixir this time, feeling a sense of impetuousness. However, Laozi still did not speak.

A short while later, Laozi noticed that Luo Xuan had added three Luosheng Fruits.

Did refining the Vast Yellow Elixir require Luosheng Fruits?

Laozi looked at Luo Xuan's unhesitating actions, feeling somewhat perplexed.

However, when Luo Xuan withdrew his spiritual fire, waves of elixir fragrance wafted from the Alchemy Furnace.

Needless to say, Laozi knew that Luo Xuan had successfully refined the Vast Yellow Elixir.

When he saw the elixir, Laozi further realized that its quality was undoubtedly much better than before.

Laozi couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?"

Just by adding three Luosheng Fruits, he could erase all the previous mistakes?

Laozi didn't believe it.

Luo Xuan smiled. "Elixirs do have spirits, that much is true."

"Master might be able to refine elixirs by following the spirituality within them."

"But isn't it too smooth to simply follow that spirituality?"

"We cultivators should face challenges head-on and overcome all difficulties."

"If we don't encounter setbacks, even if the elixir is refined, wouldn't its quality be diminished by a third?"

Luo Xuan's words echoed in Laozi's mind like a great bell.

Laozi's gaze became somewhat dazed. "What about the Luosheng Fruits?"

Luo Xuan smiled. "Luosheng Fruits contain unique vitality, which can awaken new spirituality within the elixir."

After washing away the impurities, one can achieve greatness...

Laozi's breathing grew increasingly rapid.

Suddenly, Laozi also began to refine an elixir.

In the beginning, Laozi used his original method to refine the elixir.

When it was taken out of the furnace, its quality was clearly inferior to Luo Xuan's elixir.

The second time, Laozi used Luo Xuan's method.

This time, Laozi's pills were identical to those Luo Xuan had refined.

"As expected, just as I thought..."

Laozi looked deeply at Luo Xuan.

Xuan Du, standing beside him, was stunned.

Xuan Du understood Luo Xuan's words, but not entirely.

And their pill-refining techniques left Xuan Du dazzled.

However, Xuan Du knew one thing.

Luo Xuan had found the error in Laozi's pill formula, and Laozi had admitted it!

Who was Laozi?

A top-tier mighty figure in the Primordial Era!

This filled Xuan Du with indescribable shock.

His gaze towards Luo Xuan became even more adoring.

Luo Xuan smiled and said, "I was originally worried that Master would blame me, and was thinking about whether to change the formula. Since Master understands now, I won't dwell on it anymore."

Looking at the Jade Slips filling the grand hall, Laozi's old face blushed.

He quickly changed the subject, saying, "Good, good. You are indeed my disciple. Luo Xuan, Xuan Du is also from the Human Race, just like you. You'll have to take good care of him from now on."

Luo Xuan glanced at Xuan Du and nodded, "Yes, Master. Don't worry."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Du became so excited he didn't know where to put his hands.

Soon, ten thousand years passed.

"Whoosh!"

A figure darted through the dense bushes of Kunlun Mountain.

A few breaths later, another figure caught up.

As the two drew closer, they began to unleash their divine abilities again.

"Hiss!"

The former let out a loud shout, and a fiery red flame surged forward.

The latter showed no fear in his eyes when facing the raging fire.

As he swung his magic sword, streaks of pure white sword energy plunged into the flames.

The flames were instantly extinguished, and quite a few sword energies even flew out.

"Ah!"

The figure in front let out a scream.

The latter calmly flew over.

"Senior Brother Xuan Du, you're still not good enough."

On the towering mountain, clouds swirled, making it seem as if the entire Kunlun was suspended in the sky.

Being within it, one didn't feel obscured by the clouds, but rather saw the lush forests.

Several sword lights flashed, immediately carving out a path.

A man in a Daoist robe walked over, his narrow eyes slightly squinted.

"Senior Brother Xuan Du, you came to Kunlun a few years before me, why are you still so weak?"

In front of him, a young Daoist slowly stood up from the ground, patting the dust off his clothes.

Perhaps due to spending a long time with Hou Yi, Xuan Du wore a simple and honest smile.

"Junior Brother Duobao is the chief disciple of Uncle-Master Tongtian, with extraordinary talent. I am ashamed of my inferiority."

This statement seemed to touch a nerve in Duobao. His eyes narrowed even further, and he chuckled.

"Senior Brother Xuan Du is too modest. You and I are both at the middle stage of Golden Immortal."

"Uncle-Master Laozi doesn't have many disciples. Have you still not mastered your Grand Pure Dao Method?"

Facing Duobao's aggressive attitude, Xuan Du didn't want to make an enemy. He tidied his clothes and looked around, changing the subject.

"Since the sparring is over, Junior Brother Duobao, we should hurry back. Otherwise, Master won't find us, and we'll be punished again."

Seeing Xuan Du's yielding demeanor, a hint of disdain flashed in Duobao's eyes.

"The Three Pure Ones are fundamentally one, and their Dao methods converge to the same destination."

"If Senior Brother Xuan Du has any questions, feel free to come to me."
