Nalan Clan.
The hall was brightly lit.
Yun Yun sat in the seat of honor, with Nalan Yanran standing behind her.
Nalan Jie and Nalan Su sat on either side, their gazes fixed on Yun Yun.
Nalan Jie set down his teacup and looked at Yun Yun.
"Sect Leader Yun, what exactly happened on the Imperial Family's side?"
Yun Yun lifted her teacup, took a sip, and set it down.
"Jia Xingtian hosted a banquet and invited Xiao Xuan."
"He invited Gu He, Fa Ma, Teng Shan, and the Misty Cloud Sect as well."
Nalan Su frowned.
"What is Jia Xingtian trying to do?"
"Show off," Yun Yun said. "He wants to announce to everyone that the Imperial Family has established ties with Xiao Xuan."
Nalan Jie nodded.
"That old fox really knows how to scheme."
He paused and looked at Yun Yun.
"Sect Leader Yun, did anything unusual happen at the banquet?"
Yun Yun glanced at him.
"Xiao Xuan mentioned something."
Nalan Jie and Nalan Su both straightened up.
"What was it?"
"He intends to refine an Eighth-Rank Pill," Yun Yun said. "It is called the Resurrection Pill."
Nalan Jie's pupils suddenly constricted.
"An Eighth-Rank Pill?"
"Yes," Yun Yun said. "After taking it, one can be revived in a short time and return from death."
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Nalan Jie's hand tightened sharply, and the teacup in his hand nearly fell to the floor.
Even his voice trembled.
"Return from death? Such a pill exists in this world?"
Nalan Su was stunned as well.
"An Eighth-Rank Pill has never appeared anywhere on the entire Northwest Continent."
"Can Xiao Xuan really refine one?"
Yun Yun glanced at him.
"He is a Seventh-Rank Alchemist. Refining an Eighth-Rank Pill would be difficult, but it is not impossible."
