While Laozi envied them, he also pondered whether he ought to study alchemy himself.
Being left so far behind was embarrassing no matter how he looked at it.
Xihua, on the other hand, was exceptionally modest. She understood her own abilities.
At most, her talent for medicine refining was on par with Laozi's skill in alchemy.
The emergence of a super-immortal medicine like the Sage Medicine had relied entirely on the abundant resources and information provided by Luo Qing.
Back then, the raw materials wasted while developing the Sage Medicine would have been enough to bankrupt an ordinary Sage.
After clearing up the doubts in their hearts,
the All Sages turned their gazes toward Zhenyuanzi and the other two, who were undergoing their tribulations.
It was precisely then that the three's Heavenly Tribulations for attaining sainthood entered their second stage.
As soon as the Sage Dao incarnations appeared, Luo Qing, Ancestor Hongjun, and the others all frowned.
It was not that something unexpected had happened with the Heavenly Tribulations.
Rather, the situations of the three who were attempting to attain sainthood were far from optimistic.
In the end, whether it was Zhenyuanzi, Old Ancestor Haoyuan, or the other Peak Quasi-Saint,
none of them had another Sage supporting them from behind.
It was easy to imagine how many resources and Divine Treasures they had in hand.
Under such circumstances, their chances of successfully attaining sainthood were truly slim.
The All Sages were not optimistic about the three undergoing tribulations. They might all follow in the footsteps of the first failure.
They would die beneath the Heavenly Tribulation, become martyrs to the Dao, and be forgotten by the Primordial Immortal Gods.
Ancestor Hongjun and the others cast another subtle glance at Luo Qing.
This outcome had all been caused by Luo Qing.
