Duobao's mind was filled with the chaotic scene of Jie Sect disciples running wild like demons.
He suddenly shuddered, as if the wine had sobered him considerably.
"Both senior brothers speak rightly. Mention a gift of thanks again, and this humble Daoist will truly lose his temper."
"Keep the pills well."
Xuandan cheerfully drained his cup, feeling the genuine warmth of his senior brothers' sentiments—a kindness beyond words.
After three rounds of wine, the Dragon Palace Grand Array had been repaired, and for now the situation was relatively stable.
Everyone began voicing their opinions on this battle.
Duobao spoke freely and bluntly.
"As this humble Daoist sees it, our masters surely know of this matter—they simply want to use it as a trial for us."
"Expecting our masters to step in and help is unrealistic. Relying on ourselves, we can still carve out a chance for survival."
Guang Chengzi nodded slightly and chimed in.
"The junior brother speaks truly. We Chan Sect disciples excel at the art of artifact refinement."
"This humble Daoist happens to know of a treasure that requires many to activate."
"With the combined strength of all fellow disciples, it can slay a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and even hold a Great Luo at bay for a moment."
Hearing this, Duobao perked up.
"The Jie Sect excels at formation arts. We can lay down a net that covers heaven and earth and use the power of formations to slay the enemy!"
San Xiao also spoke with a smile.
"Perfect timing to test our sisters' Nine Bends Yellow River Formation."
"Let alone a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal—even a Great Luo who comes will be trapped for a time!"
Xuan Du, caught up in the group's enthusiasm, added.
"This humble Daoist has some modest achievements in the Alchemy Dao. I'll refine some pills for all junior brothers, to have on hand when needed."
Everyone laughed—Xuan Du's achievements in the Alchemy Dao were far from modest.
He was a disciple of Laozi, the foremost alchemist of the Prehistoric World.
The pills he refined were remarkably potent.
Xuandan happened to recall the Poison Scripture he had obtained from Lü Yue.
If he could use that scripture to refine poison pills effective against the Strange Beasts, that would be excellent.
He could also brew some plagues to drive the Strange Beasts away.
The Xuan Sect disciples present sketched out a plan in just a few words.
Without any hesitation or delay, they quickly rose and began to act.
The Chan Sect disciples refined Houtian Spiritual Treasures for their Jie Sect fellow disciples to use in battle.
The Jie Sect disciples generously contributed, bringing out the materials needed to set up the formations.
Xuandan and Xuan Du each found a cave dwelling to refine poison pills and medicinal pills respectively.
Such a scene made the Four Dragon Kings look on with envy.
The East Sea Dragon King stroked his beard and couldn't help sighing.
"As expected of Xuan Sect disciples—the three sects united in heart. No one can match them."
They were even more stunned by the execution of the Xuan Sect disciples.
They acted as soon as they decided, with no complaints.
They were even willing to take out their most treasured Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to overcome the crisis.
"Truly Saints' disciples. To have caught the Saints' eyes, they must have extraordinary qualities."
With such unity and thriving spirit, who could rival the three sects?
Their bonds ran deep, and each possessed remarkable talent—truly a flourishing scene.
If the younger generation of the Dragon Clan after the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation could have the same spirit as these disciples of the three sects...
Perhaps they too could rise again one day.
The East Sea Dragon King watched with longing that pierced his eyes.
The Four Dragon Kings exchanged glances.
No words were needed—they were brothers, and their thoughts couldn't be hidden.
They each sent their own juniors to join the three sects' disciples and lend their full support.
To forge a good karmic bond with the disciples of the three sects was a blessing for the Dragon Clan's younger generation.
If they could raise the goodwill of the Three Pure Ones, that would be a blessing for the entire Dragon Clan!
Meanwhile, within the Eight Sceneries Palace on Kunlun Mountain.
The Three Pure Ones watched the united scene of the three-sect disciples within the Dragon Palace of the East Sea.
A smile broke out on their faces almost simultaneously.
Tongtian spoke with a chuckle.
"All good children, hahaha."
The other two sages said nothing more; the smiles on their faces said it all.
Far away at the shore of the East Sea, Ji Meng had stationed his great army there.
A fierce glint flickered in his eyes as he secretly sent out a strand of demonic aura.
The demonic aura vanished into the boundless sea domain, landing upon a mighty Strange Beast.
The beast, as if driven mad and possessed, its eyes bloodshot, charged toward the Dragon Palace!
Chapter 31: Xuandan's Poison Path Shows Its Might, Dual Mastery of Alchemy and Poison? Each Displays Their Prowess!
Inside the Dragon Palace, the three-sect disciples had been preparing intensively for a long time.
Xuan Du had refined a massive quantity of pills to meet any need.
Guang Chengzi had successfully forged a Houtian spirit treasure, the Five Elements Demon-Breaking Crossbow.
Its grade was High-grade Houtian spirit treasure, its power linked to the number of users and the Magic Power infused into it.
The remaining Chan Sect disciples were not idle either, all helping their Jie Sect fellow disciples refine the ritual implements needed for the formations.
The Dragon Palace trembled and shook from time to time.
The repaired formation was clearly on the verge of collapse.
The Four Dragon Kings showed expressions of terror on their faces.
If the Dragon Palace were breached, they could not bear the consequences.
Fortunately, at this critical moment, the three-sect disciples were fully prepared and ready to strike together.
Duobao stood with his sword, laughing loudly as he called out.
"All Senior Brothers have come for my sake; I wish to strike first!"
Xuandan let out a great shout, infected by the group's fervor, and stepped forward.
"Junior Brother, you've only just broken through to Golden Immortal..."
Duobao instinctively tried to dissuade him.
Everyone knew Xuandan's strength.
When it came to alchemy, he was truly unmatched, whether in positive effects or side effects.
But his combat ability?
He had never fought before!
Moreover, facing Countless Strange Beasts, among which were no lack of Golden Immortal and Taiyi level ones, how could he, a newly broken-through Golden Immortal, stand against them?!
"Junior Brother, be cautious!"
"Junior Brother, let me make the move!"
One by one, the three-sect disciples all came to dissuade him.
Xuandan waved his hand: "No matter, it's merely Countless Strange Beasts."
At these words, everyone's movements froze for a moment.
Merely Countless Strange Beasts?
Was that a human way of speaking?
Xuandan seized the moment, opened the formation, and with a wave of his hand released a wave of Plague Toxin.
The green-purple Poison Miasma flowed with the current, steadily approaching the Strange Beasts.
This was a plague poison he had specially researched to deal with the beasts; any Strange Beast that entered the Poison Miasma, below the Golden Immortal realm, would instantly have its life extinguished.
In an instant, tens of millions of Strange Beasts lost their lives.
Their corpses turned to withered bones at a visible rate.
Such a sight immediately shocked the Xuan Sect disciples present.
Xuan Du's expression was one of surprise, as if he no longer recognized this Junior Brother.
"Junior Brother, when did you cultivate the Poison Path!?"
Though alchemy and poison were inseparable, for a proper alchemist to walk the Poison Path still required considerable effort.
Xuandan had never dabbled in the Poison Path before; how long had it been since he left Xuan Du's sight, and he already had such mastery in the Poison Path?!
This, this, this...
