Great Bamboo Peak.
Shou Jing Hall.
As Tian Buyi's words fell.
Lin Jingyu's eyes shone brightly, and the way he looked at Ye Xuan changed.
He only joined two years earlier?
But his cultivation was already a prodigy of the Qingyun Sect?
What kind of genius was this?
Even Zhang Xiaofan, who had been staring at his toes, couldn't help but sneak a glance at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan, in robes as white as snow, wore a lazy smile on his lips and played with a jade pendant in his hand.
His demeanor was indeed different.
"Lin Jingyu (Zhang Xiaofan), greetings, Seventh Senior Brother!"
The two dared not delay, bowing respectfully to Ye Xuan.
"No need for formalities."
Seeing this.
Ye Xuan's lips curved slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Since you've called me Senior Brother."
"I can't be too stingy."
With that said.
Ye Xuan tapped his Storage Bag.
Two exquisite small jade bottles appeared in his palm out of thin air.
"These are Marrow Cleansing Pills that Senior Brother refined himself."
"Marrow Cleansing Pills, while not some rare treasures."
"They are still quite rare for disciples who haven't undergone Spirit Induction into Body."
"Take them tonight after you return."
"Even if you can't achieve a complete transformation, you can expel all the impurities accumulated over time."
"This will make your meridians smoother during future cultivation, and you'll suffer less."
Ye Xuan casually stuffed the jade bottles into their chests.
His movements were very casual, as if he were handing over two pieces of candy.
But the words he spoke caused the atmosphere in Shou Jing Hall to freeze.
Song Daren's honest smile froze on his face.
Wu Dayi's teacup stopped in mid-air.
Du Bishu, who was about to take out his dice, trembled and almost dropped them.
Even the well-traveled Tian Buyi was stunned at this moment.
Marrow Cleansing Pills?
What were those?
The Qingyun Sect cultivated the Tai Chi Xuan Qing Dao, emphasizing gradual progress and Spirit Induction into Body by drawing Spiritual Energy from heaven and earth.
As for the art of pills?
Although the Qingyun Sect had some involvement, they were not proficient.
"Seventh."
"What did you just say... what pill was that?"
A moment later.
Tian Buyi leaned forward slightly.
His eyes, already not large, were now wide open, staring intently at the two small jade bottles.
"Reporting to Master, they are Marrow Cleansing Pills."
Ye Xuan turned around, cupped his hands towards Tian Buyi, his expression unchanged.
"Hand them over for me to see!"
Tian Buyi beckoned.
An invisible suction force surged out.
The jade bottle in Lin Jingyu's arms, not yet warm, flew into Tian Buyi's hand with a "swoosh."
He pulled out the stopper.
A faint, delicate fragrance instantly permeated the great hall.
The scent wasn't strong, yet it was incredibly penetrating.
Just taking a single whiff made one feel clear-headed and refreshed, as if every pore on their body was expanding at that very moment.
Su Ru couldn't sit still either and leaned in.
At the bottom of the bottle lay a round, black pill.
A subtle, dull luster flowed faintly across the pill's surface. If one looked closely, they could even spot a few extremely intricate patterns on it.
Although he'd never eaten pork, he'd at least seen pigs run.
Judging by its appearance and medicinal aroma alone, this was no ordinary item!
Tian Buyi's expression shifted unpredictably.
He carefully poured out the pill, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and then scraped a tiny bit of powder with his fingernail to taste.
It melted in his mouth.
A warm current instantly flowed down his throat into his abdomen, then dispersed throughout his limbs and bones.
In an instant.
Tian Buyi's eyes lit up.
Such pure medicinal efficacy, with not a trace of impurity!
"This..."
"Seventh, this pill... did you really refine it?"
Tian Buyi suddenly looked up, his gaze towards Ye Xuan filled with scrutiny, even a hint of shock.
The Qingyun Sect had no dedicated alchemy lineage.
The pills refined by each peak were all concocted by themselves.
For example, Tian Buyi could refine Dahuang Pills, which had excellent healing effects.
But aside from Dahuang Pills.
Tian Buyi didn't have any other signature pills.
Even so.
Tian Buyi's alchemy skills were considered top-notch among the seven peaks.
And the Marrow Cleansing Pill?
Even if he hadn't formally taken a Marrow Cleansing Pill.
He knew its medicinal effects were absolutely superior to those of the Dahuang Pill!
Could such a pill truly have been refined by his Seventh Disciple?
"Master."
"The Marrow Cleansing Pill was indeed refined by this disciple."
"When this disciple was training down the mountain, I coincidentally received the inheritance of a senior."
"Currently, this disciple has achieved some accomplishments in alchemy, artifact refining, and formation arrays."
Facing Tian Buyi's inquiry.
Ye Xuan's smile didn't diminish as he replied with a relaxed expression.
Two years ago.
Upon joining Great Bamboo Peak.
He had obtained Low-tier Alchemy Mastery through a System sign-in.
However.
At that time, Ye Xuan had only just begun to practice cultivation.
He had no medicinal ingredients to refine pills.
Nor did he have a reason to explain why he knew alchemy.
But now.
Ye Xuan had been down the mountain for over a year.
He could naturally find an excuse to reveal some of the skills he had mastered.
After all.
When he went down the mountain, Tian Buyi and the others were not present.
My luck was just a tiny bit better, and I got an expert's inheritance, is that not allowed?
"Uh~"
Hearing Ye Xuan's explanation.
Tian Buyi's mouth twitched, unsure of what to say.
An inheritance from a senior expert?
Indeed, powerful figures would leave behind inheritances on the continent.
But obtaining such an inheritance was no easy feat.
It might take years, even decades, for a single lucky individual to appear.
And his seventh disciple was actually one of the lucky ones?
Yes.
From beginning to end.
Tian Buyi had no doubt Ye Xuan was lying.
Because Ye Xuan possessed the Innate Dao Body, a legendary cultivation physique.
Perhaps it was precisely because of this.
That his seventh disciple was so fortunate.
Just then.
A pink figure suddenly darted out.
"Seventh Senior Brother!"
"I want some too!"
"I want pills too!"
Tian Ling'er threw her arms around Ye Xuan's, clinging to him.
She tilted her exquisitely carved, rosy face upwards, her large eyes blinking, looking utterly adorable.
"Tsk~"
"Little Junior Sister, calm down a bit."
Seeing Tian Ling'er's actions.
Ye Xuan let out a slightly disgusted scoff.
Back then.
He had made a bet with Tian Ling'er.
Whoever cut down the Black Bamboo first would be the senior brother or sister.
Ye Xuan had won.
But Tian Ling'er refused to honor the bet.
From that point on.
Ye Xuan called Tian Ling'er Junior Sister.
Tian Ling'er called Ye Xuan Junior Brother.
Now.
Tian Ling'er had voluntarily changed her address.
This made Ye Xuan a little unaccustomed.
"Seventh."
"Don't forget about your Senior Brother."
"Is there a Marrow Cleansing Pill for me?"
As Tian Ling'er spoke.
Du Bishu and the others also gathered around, chiming in one after another.
Even the honest Song Daren's Adam's apple bobbed up and down, clearly tempted.
After all!
Who wouldn't want to become stronger?
"Esteemed Senior Brothers."
"The efficacy of the Marrow Cleansing Pill is limited."
"For mortals, the effect is quite noticeable."
"You have all been cultivating for some time and are not considered mortals."
"Even if you take the Marrow Cleansing Pill, it won't have much of an effect."
Seeing this.
Ye Xuan shook his head and softly explained.
"Hmph."
"You should have said so earlier."
Upon hearing Ye Xuan's words, Tian Ling'er immediately shook off Ye Xuan's arm.
I lost out.
I lost out big time.
This stinky junior disciple actually tricked her into calling him senior brother.
"However,"
"I've also refined another type of Foundation Replenishing Pill."
"One Foundation Replenishing Pill is equivalent to five years of hard cultivation."
