Xuandan remembered the side effect of the pill.
The word "loli" kept bouncing around in his mind.
His expression turned conflicted.
Xuandu happened to notice and immediately offered some comfort.
"Your senior brother understands. I went through the same thing."
"There's no need to feel ashamed."
Xuandan gave Xuandu a meaningful look.
Then he took out the four Tianxin Pills he had just refined.
The rich fragrance of the pills made Xuandu's eyes widen.
He froze on the spot, staring blankly at the Tianxin Pills.
At that moment, he felt like something of a clown.
He had even wanted to offer his junior brother some guidance on the Alchemy Dao.
He hadn't expected his first batch of pills to be top-grade.
Xuandu stared at Xuandan in astonishment.
"As expected of someone born from a Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. Junior brother, your talent is truly monstrous."
"Even I can only refine top-grade Tianxin Pills when I'm lucky."
"But you refined four top-grade pills in your very first batch!"
As he spoke, he reached out and picked up one of the Tianxin Pills.
Suddenly, his expression grew even more astonished, and his brow furrowed.
"Hmm... The medicinal power contained within this pill seems far greater than that of an ordinary Tianxin Pill."
He had refined top-grade Tianxin Pills before.
But their medicinal power had seemed to be only one or two tenths of the power in the pill he now held.
Xuandu looked at Xuandan as if he were some kind of monster.
Xuandan spoke up at once.
"Senior brother just gifted me the Azure Profound Sword, and I have nothing to repay you with."
"If you don't mind, please take all four Tianxin Pills."
Xuandu accepted the four Tianxin Pills.
He had now leaped beyond the River of Time and attained the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit.
Ordinary Tianxin Pills were naturally useless to him.
But he really couldn't refuse Tianxin Pills with such potent medicinal power.
Besides, this was his junior brother's kind gesture. Refusing would only hurt their brotherly bond.
"Since these are your first pills, your senior brother will gladly accept them."
"What's more, these Tianxin Pills really are excellent. When I get back, I'll use them to aid my cultivation."
Just as Xuandu was accepting the Tianxin Pills,
the system's voice suddenly rang in Xuandan's mind.
[ Ding! Congratulations, Host, on gifting four Tianxin Pills to someone else. You have received a random reward! ] [ Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have obtained the divine ability: Samadhi True Fire! ]
Watching Xuandu's departing figure, Xuandan smiled.
He stretched out his hand, and a flame sprang to life, dancing in his palm.
The scorching heat it gave off was unmistakably the Samadhi True Fire.
"My dear senior brother, now I've got both a magic treasure and a divine ability."
Whether used to refine pills or fight enemies,
the Samadhi True Fire was among the very finest divine abilities in the Prehistoric World.
Originally, he would have needed to cultivate Fire in Stone, Fire in Wood, and Fire in Air step by step,
before finally condensing the Samadhi True Fire, one of the Ten Great Divine Fires of the Prehistoric World.
Now, thanks to the system's power, he could master it in an instant.
As for senior brother...
A shrunken, loli version of Xuandu popped into Xuandan's mind.
An expectant smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Who wouldn't want a loli cross-dressing senior brother?
Xuandan turned and went back into his cave abode to continue his secluded cultivation.
After all, in a few hundred years, his master would be checking on his progress.
Back in his cave abode, Xuandu sat down cross-legged.
Remembering what his junior brother looked like, he couldn't help smiling.
"From now on, I have a junior brother too."
A Tianxin Pill appeared in his hand.
Xuandu was even more delighted, sincerely happy for Xuandan's talent.
"I'm probably the first person to eat a pill refined by my junior brother, right?"
Thinking this, he swallowed the Tianxin Pill.
The rich medicinal power immediately spread throughout his body.
Xuandu entered a state of sudden enlightenment in an instant.
Spiritual Energy from a hundred thousand li around him surged toward him in a swirling vortex.
The vast Spiritual Energy poured into Xuandu's body and transformed into boundless Magic Power.
Above Xuandu's cave abode, a vortex of Spiritual Energy had formed, towering like a pagoda that reached the heavens.
Such an extraordinary sight, affecting all of Kunlun Mountain,
naturally drew disciples from the Chan Sect and the Interception Sect to come and watch.
Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, and True Person Huang Long of the Chan Sect flew over on their swords.
"Looks like senior brother has reached a new understanding and made a breakthrough in his cultivation."
Duobao, Holy Mother Wudang, Holy Mother Jinling, and San Xiao of the Interception Sect also came to see what was happening.
Duobao picked up the thread of the conversation.
"I wonder what kind of divine ability it is. He's even drawn in the Dao's resonance."
A full hundred years passed.
More and more disciples of the Xuan Sect gathered outside Xuandu's cave abode.
Then, two golden pillars of light suddenly shot into the sky.
Xuandu's bell-like laughter rang throughout heaven and earth.
"I've finally mastered this pupil technique, the Profound Mirror Divine Eye!"
"Hahaha, little junior brother's Tianxin Pill is amazing!"
"Hehe, I've finally broken through a bottleneck that lasted thirty thousand years!"
The Xuan Sect disciples gathered around him all froze.
What was that sound?
Could senior brother Xuandu really make a sound like that?
Rumble!!!
The cave abode's doors burst open.
When the dust had settled, Duobao looked up, about to offer his congratulations.
But the leg he'd raised froze in midair.
Then there was Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingzi, Holy Mother Wudang...
Almost every Xuan Sect disciple watching turned to stone.
Xuandu looked around, puzzled.
"Eh? Why are you all making those faces?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, he covered his own mouth.
No!
Something was very, very wrong!
Why had his voice turned into a child's?!
Xuandu's Social Death! The Senior Brother of the Xuan Sect? The Xuan Sect's Big Loli!
Xuandu looked around. The respect his junior brothers and sisters had once held for him was gone.
They all looked astonished, and most of his junior sisters were even wearing knowing smiles.
He immediately performed the Mirror Technique and saw what he looked like now.
His long, jet-black hair fell down his back, and his skin was as fair as white jade.
