Stealing Spirit Herbs from Ten Thousand Demon Mountain!

Lin Tian saw that your alchemy talent was so high, and no longer stopped you from going to the Pill Sect.

"Go ahead without worry, junior brother. The Pavilion Master has already passed your information to all the senior brothers and sisters."

The next day, after bidding farewell to Lin Tian, you headed directly towards the Pill Sect.

Five days later, you arrived near the Pill Pagoda and discovered that the Pill Sect's entrance examination was ten days away.

You weren't in a hurry about this. The Pill Sect's Pill Pagoda was located in the very center of Pill City.

Pill City was a city established by the Pill Sect within their sphere of influence, making it convenient for them to sell pills.

You waited in Pill City for ten days. During these ten days, you noticed that many cultivators participating in the Pill Sect's examination had arrived one after another.

On the tenth day, you followed the large group to the plaza below the Pill Pagoda.

Soon, a peerless beauty in a black qipao walked out of the Pill Pagoda. Your body trembled slightly when you saw her face.

That face was all too familiar; it was the face Gu Xinyue often faked.

You hadn't expected the chief examiner for this year's assessment to be Gu Xinyue.

Gu Xinyue, standing on the second floor of the Pill Pagoda, swept her gaze across the crowd in the plaza, and then her gaze suddenly stopped on you.

However, she only lingered for a moment before shifting her gaze away.

At that moment, you happened to make eye contact with Gu Xinyue. You knew she had recognized your identity because you hadn't revealed your identity upon arrival.

After Gu Xinyue briefly explained the assessment content and rules from the stage, you prepared to begin the examination.

The content of the assessment was also very simple: refine a furnace of High-grade Foundation Establishment Pills within the allotted time.

Upon seeing this assessment content, you inwardly sighed that the Pill Sect's standards were indeed not low.

Even for you, it was thanks to your talent as an Alchemy Prodigy that you could refine High-grade Foundation Establishment Pills. Normally, even alchemists with slightly better talent could only refine Mid-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

After the assessment began, you didn't choose to hide your strength. Instead, you refined a furnace of Perfect Foundation Establishment Pills at the fastest speed of everyone present.

Under the shocked gazes of everyone present, Gu Xinyue brought you into the Pill Pagoda.

After entering the Pill Pagoda, you were led solely by Gu Xinyue the entire time, with no one else involved.

Upon arriving at the Pill Sect's registration hall, Gu Xinyue transmitted a message to you.

"Junior brother, why have you come to the Pill Sect?"

"Aren't I here because I heard Senior Sister was here? I wanted to catch a glimpse of Senior Sister's grace!"

Hearing you say this, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but reveal a slight smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Stop joking. I don't believe you came here for me!"

In response, you stated that your main reason for coming to the Pill Sect was to improve your alchemy realm more quickly.

Hearing this explanation, Gu Xinyue realized that your alchemy speed just now was ridiculously fast, even comparable to her speed as a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

"Junior brother, tell me honestly, what grade alchemist are you now?"

"Senior Sister, I am currently a Third-grade Alchemist, but I will reach Fourth-grade before long."

Upon hearing that you were already a Third-grade Alchemist, Gu Xinyue felt a bit of a blow, especially when your last sentence said you were about to break through to Fourth-grade, which she found even harder to accept.

Under Gu Xinyue's arrangement, you successfully joined the Pill Sect and were assigned to be her disciple.

Seeing you become Gu Xinyue's disciple, everyone in the Pill Sect showed envious expressions.

Within the Pill Sect, Gu Xinyue was famously a cold and aloof goddess who had never taken disciples before. Now that she had taken you, everyone had the urge to kill you.

You didn't care about this. From then on, you began cultivating by Gu Xinyue's side.

In the third year, you successfully broke through to become a Fourth-grade Alchemist.

At this time, Gu Xinyue found you and told you that she had received news that the key ingredient for the Void Breaking Pill had been discovered in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

She also hoped you would go with her. The plan was to steal the spiritual medicine in front of everyone and then use your Great Void Technique to escape.

Hearing this, you were filled with confusion. You remembered that the last time you searched for the Void Breaking Pill's spiritual medicine, it was supposed to mature in the ninth year.

And now, only three years had passed, and Gu Xinyue had already found the spiritual medicine?

Combining this with the previous simulation, where you found that Gu Xinyue was no longer in the Pill Sect at that time, you guessed a possibility.

Gu Xinyue failed during this attempt to steal the spiritual medicine and defected from the Pill Sect.

You did not refuse Gu Xinyue's invitation and readily agreed to the operation.

At this point, you had learned everything you needed to learn in the Pill Sect. Even if you were no longer in the Pill Sect, you could still break through using your talent as an Alchemy Prodigy.

Gu Xinyue told you that the Pill Sect's team would depart in a week and that she would pick you up then to go together.

After she left, you used the Great Void Technique to start stealing pills all over the Pill Sect.

A week later, you had stolen from almost every place you knew that stored pills.

You knew that after leaving this time, you might never return to the Pill Sect again.

[The morning of the seventh day, Gu Xinyue came to find you to tell you they were ready to depart.]

[You asked her who else from the Pill Sect would be going besides the two of you.]

["Besides me, the Sect Master of the Pill Sect and three Elders are also going."]

["Even the Pill Sect Master is going?"]

[You didn't expect that the Pill Sect would make such a big fuss just to retrieve a spiritual medicine.]

[Gu Xinyue glanced at you and sighed.]

["Because this time, not only people from the Pill Sect will be going, but also people from the Feather Ascension Sect and the Yin Yang Sect!"]

[Gu Xinyue saw the confusion in your eyes and continued to transmit her voice to explain.]

["The Void Breaking Pill is crucial for breaking through to Void Refining, and that spiritual medicine is the key to refining the Void Breaking Pill. All the sects will fight fiercely for it."]

["Senior Sister, with so many Spirit Transmutation Great Perfection cultivators present, how will we safely retreat?"]

[Hearing this, you already imagined how intense the competition would be.]

["Don't worry, Junior Brother! Once I get the spiritual medicine, I'll give it directly to you. You take the spiritual medicine and return to the Sword Pavilion to wait for me!"]

[Hearing Gu Xinyue tell you to return to the Sword Pavilion first, you didn't ask any more questions. Those who can join the Sword Pavilion are no simple folk.]

[Seven days later, you followed the main force of the Pill Sect to the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.]

[At this time, outside the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, people from various sects had already arrived.]

[You listened as the Sect Masters of the three major sects discussed how to distribute this spiritual medicine.]

[At this moment, Gu Xinyue transmitted her voice to you.]

["Junior Brother, I just heard the Sect Master say that they might hold a martial arts competition to determine the distribution rights of the spiritual medicine. During the competition, use your Great Void Technique to enter the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and steal the spiritual medicine."]

["Are you sure?"]

[Seeing Gu Xinyue's determined gaze, you decided to do as she said.]

[Not long after, you indeed saw the Pill Sect Master begin to arrange the participants for the competition.]

[Seeing this, you quietly left the scene, found a secluded spot, and used the Great Void Technique to infiltrate the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.]
