Meanwhile, Master Liyuan panicked over Qin Shaofeng’s status as a Grandmaster-level Medicine Master and decided to accuse him of being an outsider, heading to Grandmaster Fang’s home to set his plan in motion.

• Qin Shaofeng took the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill, gained five hundred elephant power, and advanced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to its sixth level.

• Master Liyuan decided to label Qin Shaofeng an outsider and went to Grandmaster Fang’s home after recalling their unpleasant confrontation.

Qin Shaofeng faced an accusation that he was an outsider when Grandmaster Fang brought Lihuo City guards to seize him. Li Ruojun halted the arrest and ordered an investigation, leaving Qin Shaofeng surrounded but determined not to flee and endanger Yanhuo Village.

• Yan Gang warned Qin Shaofeng that Grandmaster Fang had arrived with powerful experts.

• Li Ruojun asked Qin Shaofeng whether he was an outsider, and he denied it while agreeing to cooperate with the investigation.
• Fang Zai Shan's suspicions stemmed from Qin Shaofeng's knowledge of the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill, and he hoped to take Qin Shaofeng's belongings.
• Qin Shaofeng chose not to flee because doing so could expose him and put the people of Yanhuo Village in danger.

Qin Shaofeng was brought before Lihuo City's leaders to answer Fang Zai Shan's accusation that he was an outsider. After Liyuan and Fang cited his unusual pill-refining technique as evidence, Qin Shaofeng openly admitted that he possessed alchemy, leaving the hearing in shock.

• Qin Shaofeng admitted that he possessed alchemy, shocking everyone present.

Qin Shaofeng defended himself against Fang Zai Shan’s accusation that he was an outsider, then used similarities between two pill formulas to cast doubt on Fang Zai Shan’s claim that he had created the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill. Old Master Li stopped the dispute and had a person escorted into the room, startling Liyuan.

• Qin Shaofeng argued that possessing alchemy techniques did not prove he was an outsider and explained that he had obtained them after fighting an outsider.
• Fang Zai Shan challenged Qin Shaofeng’s account, but Qin Shaofeng pointed out contradictions in Fang Zai Shan’s accusations and turned suspicion back on him.
• Qin Shaofeng asked Grandmaster Yun about the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill formula, and Grandmaster Yun said its ingredients seemed difficult to combine into a pill.

• The gathering questioned whether Fang Zai Shan had truly created the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill, but Old Master Li ended the dispute and ordered someone brought in.
• Two guards escorted a person into the room, and Liyuan turned pale with fear upon seeing them.

Old Master Li exposed Liyuan and Ran Jinrong’s scheme, but the Ge Family Patriarch raised new doubts about Qin Shaofeng’s identity. Qin Shaofeng faced verification with the Origin Stone, which could reveal that he was an outsider.

Qin Shaofeng tested his strength against the source stone and proved that he could unleash more than ten thousand elephant power without triggering its backlash. After humiliating the Ge Family Patriarch and driving him away, Qin Shaofeng walked with Li Ruojun, who reminded him that even stronger people existed in the outsiders’ world.

• Old Master Li led Qin Shaofeng and the others through a newly opened passage to the underground source stone, where Qin Shaofeng guessed that it contained the world’s power and rules.
• Qin Shaofeng struck the source stone with six thousand elephant power, and it emitted only a faint white arc without harming him.
• The Ge Family Patriarch suggested that Qin Shaofeng was still weakened, so Qin Shaofeng entered the Dragon Elephant Realm and struck the stone with twelve thousand elephant power, making it glow gold.
• Qin Shaofeng called the Ge Family Patriarch a weakling and revealed his power level, prompting the furious patriarch to leave; Fang Zai Shan also hurried away.
• Li Ruojun praised Qin Shaofeng’s strength as they walked, and Qin Shaofeng reflected that even stronger people remained beyond him.

After studying the medical hall’s records, Qin Shaofeng learned that Demigod Realm experts wielded domains and realized he needed to strengthen his Pill Realm. His attempts to refine an Eight Revolutions Divine Profound Pill failed without Ice Ling Grass, until Ge Liancheng sent word that he had some.

• The Ge Family Patriarch confined Ge Baodong and entered seclusion while secretly waiting for a chance to strike at Qin Shaofeng, and Fang Zai Shan shut himself away.
• Qin Shaofeng used his Fiery Golden Eyes’ Perception Domain to copy books into his mind and learned about the Source Ground and the Demigod Realm’s domain power.
• Qin Shaofeng realized that Five Elements Physique Pills and other strength-enhancing pills no longer helped him, so he examined Fang Zai Shan’s damaged jade slip about the Divine Profound Pill.
• Qin Shaofeng discovered the true Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill formula called for Azure Light Glazed Flower, then tried and failed to refine an Eight Revolutions Divine Profound Pill with substitute herbs.
• After another failed attempt, Qin Shaofeng received a message that Ge Liancheng had Ice Ling Grass.

Ge Liancheng tried to recruit Qin Shaofeng into his plan to seize power in King Qing's Territory, then trapped him with a formation when he refused. Qin Shaofeng unleashed Almighty Push to break free, leaving the formation and Ge Liancheng facing the force of his attack.

• Five Saint Elephant Realm experts surrounded Qin Shaofeng and used Formation Disks to trap him in a formation.
• Ge Liancheng said he wanted to control Qin Shaofeng and make him take a special pill, believing the formation could restrain even a Demigod.
• Qin Shaofeng used Almighty Push with his full Saint Origin Power, unleashing a powerful repulsive force against the formation.

Qin Shaofeng broke Ge Liancheng’s formation and discovered that a hidden Demigod was protecting him inside an isolated courtyard. After activating King Kai’s Fist to challenge the Demigod, Qin Shaofeng learned Ge Liancheng knew he had won the Divine Prefecture Grand Selection and threatened to expose the Demigod’s secret.

• Qin Shaofeng picked up Li Kai and passed through the middle-aged demigod’s Demigod Domain, shocking Ge Liancheng as he walked out of the courtyard.

Qin Shaofeng escaped Ge Liancheng’s demigod’s Domain with Li Kai using his enhanced Divine Might: Phasing, then healed Li Kai until he awoke. Li Kai asked after Qi Dongming and the others, leaving Qin Shaofeng troubled because Ge Liancheng still held them and had powerful allies.

• Qin Shaofeng phased through the middle-aged demigod’s Domain while carrying Li Kai, demonstrating that his ability could penetrate certain spaces and solids.

• Li Kai awoke angrily, then recognized Qin Shaofeng and learned that he had been rescued.

Qin Shaofeng learned that Ge Liancheng had captured Qi Dongming, Li Kai, Zhang Xingjie, Han Ruoyu, and other Heavenly Sword Sect members, and decided to keep his true strength hidden while rescuing them. While refining a huge batch of pills under the watch of Ge Liancheng’s men, Qin Shaofeng secretly prepared to exploit their herbs.

• Qin Shaofeng began refining more than a thousand batches of herbs at once and used his Pill Realm Domain to draw Mei Laosi’s attention.
• Qin Shaofeng secretly added a rare Fire Attribute herb and pressed his right palm against the furnace, concealing his real method while Mei Laosi monitored the domain.

Qin Shaofeng secretly collected rare ingredients while refining pills for Ge Liancheng, then made a dozen Five Revolutions Divine Profound Pills that raised his strength to the threshold of two thousand elephant power. Ge Liancheng later arrived on behalf of the Ge Family to ask Qin Shaofeng to refine a special Vermillion Yan Pill and the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill.

• Qin Shaofeng used the Void Source Ring to collect medicinal liquid unnoticed while refining pills for Ge Liancheng.

• Ge Liancheng revealed that the Ge Family wanted Qin Shaofeng to refine the Seven Revolutions Divine Profound Pill and a special kind of Vermillion Yan Pill.

Qin Shaofeng negotiated with Ge Liancheng for compensation and the return of Qi Dongming, then used a compressed Lightning Release: Hammer of Thor to deter Mei Laosi and force Ge Liancheng to accept his terms. Ge Liancheng left to prepare the deal, promising to send the prisoner and requested ingredients once it was concluded.

• Ge Liancheng accepted Qin Shaofeng's demands, and he left with Mei Laosi to prepare the deal.

• Ge Liancheng decided to eliminate Qin Shaofeng after the Ge family obtained the pills, hoping to claim a high-grade Vermillion Yan Fruit tree and cultivate Demigod-level fighters.
• The Ge family agreed to Qin Shaofeng’s terms and arranged for him to refine the pills in the Lihuo City medical hall’s pill-refining chamber.

• Qin Shaofeng reassured Grandmaster Yun that he was confident, then entered the pill-refining chamber.
• The Underground Heart Fire stirred Qin Shaofeng’s pill fire, changing it from emerald green to azure.

He accepted a difficult Extreme Upgrade Mission with three punishing requirements, leaving himself uncertain he could complete it within the time limit.

• Qin Shaofeng absorbed the chamber’s fire-elemental Spiritual Qi, advancing his pill fire and Pill Scripture to Saint-grade Six-star and his Pill Realm to the Fifth Heaven.
• The System announced that Qin Shaofeng had completed the sixth stage of Lord of Nine Clouds and began granting its rewards.
• After reaching the peak of the tenth Saint Emperor level, Qin Shaofeng triggered the Extreme Upgrade Mission and chose Difficult Mode, raising his level to Supreme Realm Level 2.
• The System required Qin Shaofeng to reach the Supreme Realm peak, advance his Pill Realm to the Tenth Heaven and gain its Demigod Domain, and raise a God-grade skill to Level 10 within the mission’s time limit.
• Qin Shaofeng worried that the requirements were beyond his reach, especially the sixty Skill Points needed to raise a God-grade skill to Level 10, but took comfort in gaining World Power early.

After gaining World Power, Qin Shaofeng assessed his strength and reviewed a mission requiring him to kill Heiyun and reclaim Black Cloud Prefecture. He spent seven days cultivating in the alchemy chamber, then discovered that the genuine Vermillion Yan Pill was actually the extraordinarily difficult Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pill.

• Qin Shaofeng realized his new World Power and Dragon Elephant Realm strength could let him kill ordinary Demigods, and vowed to rescue Dongming and the others before dealing with Ge Liancheng.

• Qin Shaofeng opened the Ge family's Storage Bag and learned that the genuine Vermillion Yan Pill was the Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pill, which required 13,333 Saint-grade medicinal ingredients and was exceptionally difficult to refine.

Qin Shaofeng successfully refined all three Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pills and spent the rest of his ten-day stay cultivating in the alchemy chamber. When he emerged, the anxious Ge Family Patriarch eagerly accepted the pills and offered Qin Shaofeng his payment, leaving Qin Shaofeng suspicious of the Patriarch’s sudden change in attitude.

• Qin Shaofeng used his blue-grade pill fire and Cloud Pill Technique to successfully refine an eighth-grade Saint-tier Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pill, discovering that it could greatly raise power and domains.
• Qin Shaofeng refined two more Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pills, succeeding each time and completing the Ge Family’s task in seven hours.

• The Ge Family Patriarch confronted Qin Shaofeng as he emerged, and Qin Shaofeng handed over all three pills.
• After an elder confirmed the pills were genuine, the Ge Family Patriarch eagerly gave Qin Shaofeng a Storage Bag as payment, prompting Qin Shaofeng to wonder whether the Patriarch had taken the wrong medicine.

Qin Shaofeng learned that the Beast Tide had attacked Lihuo City and that the Ge Family had suffered heavy losses, explaining the Patriarch’s generous payment for the pills. As the Beast Tide advanced toward the second defensive line and Lihuo City prepared a demigod team to kill its King Savage Beast commander, Qin Shaofeng returned home and found Mei Laosi waiting at his gate.

• Qin Shaofeng discovered that the Ge Family Patriarch had increased his payment with extra Vermillion Yan Fruits and Source Crystals, and Li Ruojun identified the pills as Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pills.

• Qin Shaofeng decided the Beast Tide was not his concern, returned to his courtyard, and found Mei Laosi waiting at the gate.

Qin Shaofeng negotiated with Ge Liancheng over the Origin Continent people and agreed to refine another Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pill after resting for a day. While Ge Liancheng secretly plotted to capture him, Qin Shaofeng used source crystals to advance his Pill Realm Domain to the Sixth Heaven.

• Mei Laosi demanded the tall Vermillion Yan Fruit tree, but Qin Shaofeng insisted on exchanging it only when the people he wanted were delivered.
• Ge Liancheng appeared through Mei Laosi's Demigod Domain and offered to release every Origin Continent captive if Qin Shaofeng refined another Vermillion Yan Thousand Illusions Pill.
• Qin Shaofeng agreed to refine the pill the next day after resting, then returned to his room.
