Could It Be That the Pill Tower's Feng Shui Was Bad?

Two figures walked inside and sat down at Xuan Yi's desk. "Xuan Yi, I heard you arranged an assessment for an Rank 8 Alchemist?"

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Xuan Yi looked at Xuan Kongzi and Tianleizi in front of him, not expecting them to be so unsteady on their feet so quickly.

"Is it him?" Xuan Kongzi asked, looking at Xuan Yi uncertainly.

"That's right." Xuan Yi nodded, a hint of pride on his face.

Tianleizi, who was rather impatient, couldn't help but ask, "He looks only twenty-three or twenty-four, right? He can already refine Rank 8 Pills with Three-Colored Pill Lightning?"

"Of course it's true. Would I have made arrangements if I wasn't confident?" Xuan Yi smiled, thinking to herself, "A mere Three-Colored Pill Lightning, as Xiao Tian would say, is something anyone can do."

Xuan Kongzi and Tianleizi exchanged a surprised glance. They had seen Rank 8 Alchemist in their early twenties before, but it was rare to see someone in their mid-twenties who could refine Three-Colored Pill Lightning Rank 8 Pills. Judging from Xuan Yi's appearance, the success rate of his refining seemed to be quite high.

Xuan Yi glanced at the two astonished old men, secretly pleased, especially at Senior Brother Xuan Kongzi, who usually maintained a calm demeanor. "Whether it's true or not, you'll know tomorrow when you come and see."

"Hehe, it seems the young disciples of the Pill Tower are going to feel the pressure. This year's Pill Gathering quite a spectacle." Tianleizi thought about how, in the Pill Tower, no one had yet broken through to the Rank 8 Alchemist; the only one was currently in Secluded Cultivation, striving to reach that level.

"It's not just those little guys; even some of the Elder are feeling the pressure. It's time to let these arrogant youngsters know that there are always people more capable than them, and mountains beyond mountains." Xuan Kongzi said with a smile. He had thought the other party was probably Alchemist, but he hadn't expected the other party to be so talented.

"But that guy's incredibly lazy; it's uncertain whether he'll even participate in the Pill Gathering more than a year from now. He said it's not challenging enough." Xuan Yi shrugged and stood up. "Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving. I still need to keep my promise."

After finishing her sentence, Xuan Yi walked outside, secretly pleased with herself. She subtly revealed the same expression as Wang Yousheng from the Bright Sword" —was this the pleasure of showing off her man?

Her man was just too outstanding; there was nothing she could do about it. Even though he was hiding a great deal of excellence, it was still enough to astound everyone.

After Xuan Yi left, Tianleizi turned to Xuan Kongzi beside him and said, "Did you notice that Xuan Yi seemed to have changed, but you couldn't quite put your finger on it?"

"Perhaps she has found someone she truly loves, and is no longer the melancholy girl she once was." Unlike Tianleizi, Xuan Kongzi didn't just focus on cultivation; he needed to know more in order to manage the Pill Tower well. From Xuan Yi's appearance and gait, he could naturally tell that Xuan Yi had transformed from a woman into a woman.

"That's true. The current Xuan Yi is quite similar to the one before. Mischievous, self-reliant, and with that former heroic spirit, it's been so long since I've seen him. Decades, I suppose. Sigh~" Tianleizi fell into reminiscence and sighed deeply.

"But it's good that she's moved on now. She knew it was a hopeless situation, but she couldn't let go of her past obsession because no one was good enough to replace her. Now she finally has someone," Xuan Kongzi said with a cheerful laugh.

In fact, Xiao Tian's information had already been placed on his desk last night. Xiao Tian Xiao Tian usually didn't hide his identity from the outside world, and most first-class forces had information on him.

As a Dan, he was naturally well aware of Xiao Tian's background, and after reading it, he was both delighted and surprised.

The good news is that it can be confirmed that Xiao Tian is on the same side as them. The information suggests that the Free and Unfettered Hall and the Soul Hall are not on good terms; the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

What surprised Xuan Kongzi was that Xiao Tian's portrait was nine-tenths similar to the person his disciple was looking for. The only difference was that one was younger and the other was slightly more mature, but Xuan Kongzi was certain that they were the same person.

Shocking! The man her martial uncle loves is the one her nephew has been longing for. Did her martial uncle beat her to it, or was it unintentional? What should the nephew do?

(Here I'm using the local way of addressing people: the master's junior brothers and sisters are called "Shishu" (师叔), and the senior brothers and sisters are called "Shibo" (师伯). The terms "Shishu" and "Shibo" are gender-neutral.)

"Sigh~" Xuan Kongzi didn't know how to tell his disciple about this. No matter what he said, it would be wrong. If he told her the truth, she might be the next one to become depressed and follow in Xuan Yi's footsteps.

"No, old man, why do you suddenly look so sighy?" Tian Lei Zi looked at Xuan Kong Zi's expression and couldn't help but scratch his head, completely baffled. Dude, is melancholy inherited or contagious? How come one gets better and another appears? Could it be that the feng shui of the Pill Tower is bad?

Xuan Yi, who had just left, quickly reunited with Xiao Tian and the other two in a secluded spot in the Pill Tower via the Sound Transmission Stone. Xuan Yi naturally and smoothly held the little one's hand in one hand.

Xiao Ling looked up at Xuan Yi: "Hey, Mother Xuan Yi, why do you look even more beautiful and younger? You have a radiant glow."

"Yes, it's like you secretly ate some super nourishing food; your whole demeanor is bright and energetic, and you look even better." Xiao Meng nodded silently, praising her.

Hearing their words, Xuan Yi couldn't help but blush slightly. She was indeed quite full. She quickly composed herself and said, "You two little ones aren't planning to praise me like this to please me so that I won't refuse you later, are you?"

"Oh dear, how could that be? It's just a tiny bit of an idea~" Xiao Meng blinked her big eyes, innocently shaking her sleeve.

"Besides, we were just telling the truth. Mother Xuan Yi, you seem to have undergone a complete transformation; your mental state is entirely different."

"Alright, alright," Xuan Yi sighed helplessly, but couldn't hide the smile in his eyes, "Since you're so good at talking, then I'll reluctantly agree. We'll buy you anything you like, of course, not too much."

"Yay! Mother Xuan Yi is the best! Mother Xuan Yi is the number one!" Xiao Ling cheered immediately, jumping up and down to express her joy.

Xuan Yi couldn't help but laugh out loud, tightening her grip on their hands slightly. "Let's go, let's go out and have some fun, let's go!"

"Let's go! Let's go!!!" The two little ones excitedly grabbed Xuan Yi and ran off, their pronunciation even a little off due to their excitement.
