Ning Rongrong: Oh No! This Old Man Was Too Competitive!

Pill Hall.

The hall was bustling with activity.

The major surrounding factions had sent over plenty of resources, including pills and all kinds of medicinal herbs.

So there was no need to worry about running out of ingredients for pill refinement. They only needed to keep refining.

Yao Chen stood before a pill cauldron.

Bone Spirit Cold Flame blazed in his left hand, while his right hand continuously added medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

He repeated the process over and over.

Batch after batch of pills emerged from the furnace.

And from their fragrance and pill patterns alone,

one could tell that every single one was a supreme-grade pill.

Ning Rongrong, who had just arrived, was left dumbfounded by the sight.

This old man was actually this fierce!

She simply could not compete with him at all!

In the time she had been standing here, that master had already produced several batches of pills.

Wouldn't he get tired?

Did he have endless soul power and Dou Qi?

Wouldn't repeating this work drain him dry?

Moreover, she noticed that the flame in the master's hand was anything but ordinary.

It was a ghastly pale flame that made one shudder just by looking at it.

It resembled ghostfire.

Yet she could not recognize what kind of flame it was.

Could it be a Heavenly Flame?!

She was shocked by her own thought.

Heavenly Flames were not something just anyone could possess.

One needed a great opportunity and had to earn the recognition of the Heavenly Flame. Otherwise, not only would it be useless,

but one would also suffer backlash from the Heavenly Flame and be burned to ashes!

As far as she knew, even within the Pill Tower of Central Continent, there was not a single alchemist who possessed a Heavenly Flame.

"Senior, is that master an elder of the Pill Hall?"

Ning Rongrong asked Ye Cheng, who had just handled her disciple registration.

If he was an elder, then she would have to work even harder. She could not let an elder look down on her Sacred Pill Sect.

In her eyes, this master refined sixth-tier pills at an astonishing speed, and every one of them was a supreme-grade pill.

He was definitely someone of elder status.

The atmosphere here was simply too amazing. Even the elders were so driven!

"Him? He doesn't even count as a disciple. He's only an apprentice in the Pill Hall."

"Besides, he's just a remnant soul right now."

"And when he was alive, he was merely a peak Dou Venerable and an honorary elder of the Pill Tower."

"It's nothing remarkable."

"Oh, according to my observations, the flame in his hand should be Bone Spirit Cold Flame, ranked eleventh on the Heavenly Flame Ranking."

"Ahem, it's nothing much. Work hard and strive to surpass him."

Ye Cheng spoke with a nonchalant expression.

Yet his tone completely failed to match the look on his face.

"Damn!"

"And you call that nothing much?"

Ning Rongrong was utterly stunned!

Was this deacon cold and aloof, or was he just messing with her?

Such a powerful expert, yet he said he was only an alchemy apprentice?

At the same time,

Ye Changge and Ye Dan also arrived at the Pill Hall.

The Pill Hall was equally grand and imposing, no less impressive than the Cultivation Technique Hall.

The two entered one after the other.

Ning Rongrong happened to turn around and saw a picturesque young man walking in.

The young man was devilishly handsome, with sword-like brows and starry eyes. A bewitching violet light flickered within his deep pupils, and he carried the aura of someone long accustomed to holding a high position, exuding an intense sense of pressure. Behind him followed an equally unfathomable old man.

This should be one of the sect's higher-ups, or perhaps an exceptionally high-ranking prodigy.

Ning Rongrong thought to herself.

"Sect Master, why did you come here personally?"

When Ye Cheng saw that the newcomer was the Sect Master, he hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I came to see how the Pill Hall is coming along."

Ye Changge looked around the hall, then spoke with his hands behind his back.

"Sect Master, rest assured."

"I have completed everything you instructed me to do."

"This is the daughter of the Sacred Pill Sect's Saint Master. She has already sent word to the Sacred Pill Sect, and before long, the Sacred Pill Sect will submit to our Ye Emperor Hall."

"When that happens, the alchemists of the Sacred Pill Sect will also come here."

Ye Cheng pointed toward Ning Rongrong behind him.

"What?!"

"This mysterious young man is the Sect Master?!"

Elder Ye Xie had already been so powerful. Then wouldn't the Sect Master be...

She had actually met someone she had never even dared to imagine.

A figure she could only look up to was now standing not far from her.

Seeing the senior point at her,

she immediately came to her senses and hurried forward.

"Rongrong greets the Sect Master."

"What Senior said is correct. My Sacred Pill Sect is willing to submit to Ye Emperor Hall."

She had seen and experienced many things during this visit.

The Sacred Pill Sect was simply incomparable to Ye Emperor Hall.

They could only follow its lead and submit to it.

Perhaps—

No!

It would definitely allow the Sacred Pill Sect to advance even further.

"Mm, you've done well."

Ye Changge did not respond to her words and merely continued speaking with Ye Cheng.

"Thank you for your praise, Sect Master."

"How was it?"

"My subordinates didn't force them, did they?"

"Our Ye Emperor Hall is a peace-loving sect. What we dislike most is fighting and bullying the weak."

"Rest assured, Sect Master, absolutely not."

"Elder Ye Xie definitely reasoned with them and moved them with sincerity. That was why they agreed."

Ye Cheng patted his chest and promised.

"That's good."

Ye Changge nodded.

At the same time, deep within Ye Emperor Hall.

"A Nine-star Dou Sheng."

"And the Sect Master's strength has already risen to a six-star Dou Sheng."

By now, Ancestor Ye Xuan had gradually gotten used to it.

Over the past month or so, what hadn't he seen in Ye Emperor Hall?

He had already gone numb.

It made him, a Dou Emperor Realm expert, seem like some country bumpkin who had never seen the world.

He could only stop caring!

Forget it. With the Sect Master here, our Ye Emperor Hall will eventually soar straight to the heavens!

Pill Hall.

"Haha, look at you, acting like you've never seen the world."

"What you see now is only the tip of the iceberg of Ye Emperor Hall's true foundation."

"Serve the sect well, and the sect will not treat you or your Sacred Pill Sect poorly."

Ye Cheng laughed heartily.

"Please rest assured, Sect Master. Rongrong will give it her all and refine pills with everything she has!"

Ning Rongrong declared that she was going all out!

If she did not work hard now, then when would she?

Whether she could lead the Sacred Pill Sect toward glory depended on how much she could contribute to the sect.

At that moment, Yao Chen, who had been working fervently inside, also heard the commotion outside.

It seemed they were talking about elders or something.

They appeared to have mentioned the Sect Master as well.

The Sect Master?!

After finishing the batch of pills in his hands, Yao Chen immediately ran outside.

"This old man, Yao Chen, greets the Sect Master."

The moment he reached the front of the hall and discovered that the Sect Master had truly arrived,

he hurriedly stepped forward and spoke.

"Mm."

"I heard you've been doing quite well lately."

"Keep working hard. If you perform well, the sect will definitely give you a new body."

Ye Changge gave him a verbal promise.

There was nothing shameful about motivating disciples.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

Yao Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Why had he been working so hard?

Wasn't it precisely to reconstruct his body?

Now that he had the Sect Master's verbal assurance, he felt much more at ease.

He felt that his days ahead would only become more and more motivating.
