Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, Second Transformation!

After seeing Yun Yun before him, Xiao Ze merely glanced at her before turning his gaze and attention back to his cultivation.

Moreover, after checking his task panel, he understood that he only needed to display his ability to refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill and shock Yun Yun.

Then he could easily complete the task and obtain the reward, right?

Without another word, Xiao Ze immediately took out his pill furnace from his Storage Ring, then retrieved the ingredients he had prepared for a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill and began refining it.

"Xiao Ze, my teacher is speaking to you. She has personally invited you to join our Misty Cloud Sect. Are you still planning to refuse?" Nalan Yanran asked.

When Yun Yun saw that Xiao Ze was about to refine a pill, although she was not an Alchemist and knew little about pill refinement, she could still tell that several of the herbs were extremely precious.

No matter how she looked at them, they did not seem like ingredients for refining a Tier 3 Medicinal Pill. At the very least, they were needed to refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill.

Yun Yun looked astonished. She glanced at Nalan Yanran beside her and muttered to herself, "When we were at the Misty Cloud Sect last time, didn't Yanran say that Xiao Ze was only a Tier 3 Alchemist?"

"So how is he now..."

Before Yun Yun could say anything else through her shock, she saw a flame appear in Xiao Ze's hand. It was clearly a Heavenly Flame.

He then began refining the Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill. In just one hour, Xiao Ze had successfully refined one.

Even Yao Chen was somewhat surprised, muttering inwardly, "Kid, when did you become capable of refining Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills so effortlessly?"

"I dare say that among the Tier 5 Alchemists in your Jia Ma Empire, quite a few of them could not refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill as successfully as you did, much less produce one of such perfect quality."

Yao Chen marveled. Xiao Ze merely smiled without saying anything.

His gaze rested on Yun Yun before him. Whether it was her Dou Qi cultivation, background and status, or her looks and figure, Yun Yun was exceptional in every way.

Xiao Ze greatly appreciated mature women like Yun Yun. However, this was not the time to think about such things. Once he possessed sufficient strength, it would not be too late to consider them.

Only by reaching the Dou Zong realm or above could he completely crush the Misty Cloud Sect beneath his feet, including its former sect leader, Yun Shan.

Otherwise, even if he had any thoughts about Yun Yun, Yun Shan, that arrogant fellow colluding with the Soul Hall, would certainly not agree so easily.

The instant Xiao Ze displayed his strength as a Tier 4 Alchemist, Yun Yun's expression was immediately filled with shock.

Only after a long while did she slowly recover and accept everything before her.

Still, Yun Yun remained deeply astonished. "I never expected Xiao Ze to be the same age as Yanran. They are both such young juniors, yet he can already refine Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills."

"When it comes to Alchemists, the strongest genius in the Jia Ma Empire is undoubtedly Gu He. But compared with Xiao Ze, even Gu He's astonishing talent in pill refinement seems like nothing."

If such a genius joined the Misty Cloud Sect, its future potential would surely be limitless.

Especially when Xiao Ze released his Dou Qi, Yun Yun froze in an instant.

"A Da Dou Shi?"

Yun Yun said in surprise. And Xiao Ze was actually a Two-Star Grand Dou Shi?

Yun Yun was not the only one taken aback. Nalan Yanran was as well. The last time they met, Xiao Ze had clearly still been at the Dou Shi realm.

How had he broken through the barrier of the Dou Shi realm and entered the Da Dou Shi realm so quickly?

He had even reached the strength of a Two-Star Grand Dou Shi.

One had to know that even Xiao Zhan, the head of the Xiao Family, was only a Five-Star Grand Dou Shi!

How had Xiao Ze managed, in just over a month, to rise from the strength of one stage of Dou Qi all the way to the Da Dou Shi realm?

Yun Yun suppressed her shock and thought to herself, "The Misty Cloud Sect must win over a genius like Xiao Ze!"

"No matter the cost, we must recruit Xiao Ze into the Misty Cloud Sect! There are only a few young people with such talent in the Jia Ma Empire."

After saying that, Yun Yun looked at Xiao Ze and voiced her intentions.

"Xiao Ze, in my capacity as the sect leader of the Misty Cloud Sect, I sincerely invite you to join us."

"As sect leader, I can make you this promise: as long as you are willing to join the Misty Cloud Sect, we will fully support you with all the cultivation resources you need, as well as anything else."

Yun Yun felt that she had already shown the utmost sincerity, but to her surprise, Xiao Ze still refused without hesitation.

"I already said it. As for your Misty Cloud Sect..."

"I'm not interested!"

Nalan Yanran had not expected Xiao Ze to refuse even after her teacher had personally come to invite him.

If it had been Xiao Yan, Nalan Yanran would definitely have mocked him mercilessly. But this was Xiao Ze.

Thinking carefully, he was so young, yet his strength had already reached the astonishing level of a Two-Star Grand Dou Shi. He could even refine Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pills.

One had to know that Gu He, an honorary elder of the Misty Cloud Sect, was already quite old, yet he was only a Tier 6 Alchemist.

As for Xiao Ze, he was already Tier 4. His future prospects were absolutely boundless!

Nalan Yanran could only feel regret. If Xiao Ze could join the Misty Cloud Sect and become her junior brother, how wonderful would that be?

After refusing the master and disciple, Xiao Ze looked at the system panel. Seeing the text displayed upon it, he smiled knowingly, extremely satisfied.

[Current task: Refuse Yun Yun and display the ability to refine a Fourth-Grade Medicinal Pill.]

[Task reward: One Orange Treasure Chest.]

[The host has completed the task. The reward has been successfully issued.]

Seeing the system panel, Xiao Ze smiled faintly in satisfaction. He opened his inventory, saw an Orange Treasure Chest, and immediately drew the reward.

"System, draw the reward immediately!"

[The host has opened an Orange Treasure Chest. Drawing reward... Orange Treasure Chest reward obtained: Heavenly Fire Three Mysterious Transformations, Second Transformation.]

After being rejected, Yun Yun did not intend to give up just like that. Since the Misty Cloud Sect's founding, it had never encountered a disciple with such astonishing talent.

Compared with her student Nalan Yanran, his talent and strength were countless times greater.

Especially since he was also a Tier 4 Alchemist.

Yet when Yun Yun spoke again, Xiao Ze rejected her once more!

Two days later, Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran returned to the Misty Cloud Sect. Yun Yun sighed, feeling greatly disappointed.

Yun Yun was disappointed that she had failed to persuade Xiao Ze to join the Misty Cloud Sect. But on second thought, he had relied on his own abilities to enter the Da Dou Shi realm in barely over a month, and he was also a Tier 4 Alchemist.

At this rate, it would not be difficult for him to reach the Dou Emperor realm before long.

With Xiao Ze's talent, he might even surpass the barrier of the Dou Emperor realm in the future and enter the Dou Zong realm!
