"Where is the Heavenly Spirit Root?"

A cold voice rang out from outside.

A figure immediately rushed in from beyond the door.

Lu Chen looked over and saw an old man in white. His beard and hair were entirely white, yet his complexion was rosy and his face did not bear a single wrinkle.

The moment the old man in white entered, he spotted the Spirit-Testing Pearl in Little Xixi's hand.

"Ha ha... a Heavenly Spirit Root... Little girl, you are fated with me. Come back to the Sacred Pill Sect with me and become my disciple!"

As he spoke, the old man reached toward Little Xixi with his right hand.

Little Xixi was instantly seized as if by an invisible giant hand and flew directly toward the old man, crying out in fright.

"You're courting death!"

Lin Yue flew into a rage. She pointed a finger, and a ball of fire shot from her fingertip, swelling in an instant as it blasted straight at the old man.

Scorching waves of heat immediately surged outward.

"A Fireball Technique?"

The old man chuckled and casually waved a hand.

The fireball hurtling toward him instantly went out in midair.

Lin Yue was sent flying by an invisible force. Her back slammed heavily against the wall, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Yet she continued to glare fiercely at the old man.

"Elder Lei Xuan, you..."

Lin Tianhe was greatly alarmed.

For this man was none other than Lei Xuan, the Sacred Pill Sect's First Elder, whom he had summoned by message.

"Who crippled my useless disciple, Lin Daoyun?"

Lei Xuan held Little Xixi in one hand as he stared at Lin Tianhe.

"Big brother, save me..."

Little Xixi struggled as she called out to Lu Chen for help.

Lu Chen was both shocked and furious, but he did not dare make a move. The moment he did, he would be finished.

Lei Xuan tapped a finger against Little Xixi's brow.

Little Xixi immediately fainted.

"My daughter..."

Seeing this, Little Xixi's parents stared at Lei Xuan in shock and fury.

"I am the Sacred Pill Sect's First Elder, an Alchemical Grandmaster. Those wishing to enter my tutelage could line up from here all the way to the gates of my Sacred Pill Sect. For this girl to become my disciple is a blessing earned over three lifetimes."

The old man spoke arrogantly.

Everyone was stunned. This man was actually the Sacred Pill Sect's First Elder—and an Alchemical Grandmaster.

This was outrageous!

The Sacred Pill Sect, was it?

Lu Chen clenched his fists tightly.

He glared fixedly at the man.

At that moment, he deeply understood what helplessness truly meant.

Without formidable strength, he could accomplish nothing.

"It was her. She was the one who crippled Lin Daoyun."

Lin Tianhe directly pointed at a masked woman in white in the corner of the hall and shouted.

"You dare cripple my disciple? I'll take your life!"

Lei Xuan's eyes widened in fury as he prepared to attack the woman in white.

The next moment, he suddenly sensed something.

"Outrageous! I'll spare you for now!"

With that, Lei Xuan held Little Xixi and rushed straight out of the hall, turning into a bolt of lightning that shot into the sky and vanished in an instant.

"Damn it..."

Lu Chen was fit to explode with rage.

He could only watch helplessly as the other man took the little girl away.

Because the moment he made a move, his cultivation would be exposed, and everyone would discover that he was merely a Qi Refining Realm piece of trash.

He would die without even a place to bury his corpse.

"..."

Lin Tianhe was dumbfounded.

He had just accused the woman in white of crippling Lin Daoyun, and Lei Xuan had immediately slipped away.

What was he supposed to do now?

He had thought that with Lei Xuan's arrival, he would finally have someone to rely on and could avenge himself. Yet now, his backing had run away.

"You've got some nerve..."

Jiang Yingxue, masked and dressed in white, stood up and walked step by step toward Lin Tianhe.

"N-no... this..."

Lin Tianhe's legs trembled, and a large patch of his pants was soaked.

A dignified elder of the Lin Household had actually been frightened into wetting himself.

One had to know that this auntie before him was someone who had crippled Lin Daoyun with a casual wave of her hand.

Jiang Yingyue stretched out her right hand, grabbed Lin Tianhe by the neck, then flung him away as though tossing out garbage.

Boom!

Lin Tianhe smashed through the wall and rolled onto the ground, no longer making a sound.

"..."

The eyes of everyone in the hall nearly popped out of their sockets at the sight.

"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist. I will help bring her back. When the time comes, we can discuss alchemy again."

As Jiang Yingyue spoke, she walked out of the hall, transformed into a streak of fire, and shot into the sky after Lei Xuan.

Just then, three figures descended from the heavens and landed outside the House of Ten Thousand Beauties.

Their powerful auras surged outward, leaving everyone in the hall terrified.

"Master? Master has come?"

Inside the hall, Yun Feiyan was utterly shocked.

Their master, Ye Chenyu, the sect master of the Joyful Union Sect, had arrived.

Besides their master, two of their martial aunts had also come.

"Master, the Sacred Pill Sect's Lei Xuan took her away."

Seeing that her master had arrived as well, Lin Yue hurriedly shouted.

"What?... Chase!"

Ye Chenyu and the others immediately tore through the air and departed.

"My daughter..."

Little Xixi's parents were anxious and helpless.

Lu Chen was deeply helpless.

The Sacred Pill Sect's First Elder, was it? Once I soar into the sky, I will surely trample you beneath my feet.

Lin Yue also rushed out.

She paid no attention whatsoever to whether Lin Tianhe lived or died.

Even though he was her uncle.

The people Lin Tianhe had brought hurriedly stepped forward and carried him away.

"Senior, you must save my daughter!"

Little Xixi's parents stepped forward and knelt directly before Lu Chen.

"Don't worry. That Fellow Daoist from earlier has already gone to save her."

Lu Chen's tone was calm, but inwardly he was uneasy. He had no confidence either.

"Tch, still pretending to be some reclusive expert."

Just then, a disdainful voice rang out.

Lu Chen looked toward the source of the voice and saw another masked woman in white rising from her seat.

The look she gave him was icy cold, making Lu Chen's heart turn solemn.

And why did the figure of the woman in purple beside the woman in white seem somewhat familiar?

"What did you say?"

Zhao Hong, who had been protecting Lu Chen from behind, angrily demanded.

"Isn't that the truth? If you truly are a reclusive expert, why did you watch your own disciple get taken away without lifting a hand?"

The woman in white became even more disdainful.

"That's right. Why didn't you make a move?"

The woman in purple beside her chimed in.

"Hm?"

The instant the woman in purple spoke, Lu Chen recognized her voice.

She was Jiang Yurou, the inner sect senior sister who had delivered the ruined Nascent Soul Pill to the Waste Pill Repository and handed it to him that day.

Anyone who could make Jiang Yurou act as an attendant must have an extraordinary background.

"You know nothing. My master must have had his own profound intentions in doing this. How could you possibly fathom my master's actions?"

Zhao Hong said coldly.

"Still making excuses? Fine. Didn't your master claim he could custom-make pills? Then I'll place an order for a pill."

Yun Feiyan looked coldly at Lu Chen.

"You wish to custom-order a pill? Certainly. Please tell me what pill you want."

Lu Chen thought, Business has come knocking.

Looking down on me, are you? If I don't fleece you properly, I'll be fit only to carry your shoes.

At this moment, everyone gathered around.

"The pill I want to order is a Realm-Breaking Pill!"

Yun Feiyan fixed her gaze on Lu Chen.

"A Realm-Breaking Pill?"

Lu Chen nearly laughed aloud. He had thought this woman wanted some high-grade pill, but she was actually asking for a Realm-Breaking Pill.

Wasn't this a perfect coincidence?

Before coming down the mountain, he had just restored three Realm-Breaking Pills.

"What, can't do it?"

Yun Feiyan chuckled lightly.

"I can."

Lu Chen replied calmly.

"Don't agree so quickly. What I want to order is no ordinary Realm-Breaking Pill, but a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill!"

Yun Feiyan sneered inwardly. If it were an ordinary Realm-Breaking Pill, would I even need to place an order with you?

"This..."

Lu Chen froze.

She actually wanted to order a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill.

When he had inventoried Alchemy Room Number Eighteen before, there had not even been a single ruined Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill inside.

Everyone else was also greatly shocked.

That was a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill.

Ordinary Realm-Breaking Pills were easy to refine, but Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills were entirely different.

"You actually want a Realm-Breaking Pill refined to nine turns?"

The expression beneath Lu Chen's mask became incomparably grave.

"What? You don't dare take my order? Tch, and you dared make my second brother and third sister kneel outside your door for an entire night?"

Yun Feiyan snapped angrily.

"..."

Lu Chen was instantly startled. This woman was actually Yun Ao and Yun Feier's eldest sister?

Wait, the Yun Household's eldest daughter... damn it.

She was actually Yun Feiyan, the Joyful Union Sect's inner sect senior sister, with Foundation Establishment, Great Perfection cultivation.

She truly needed a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill to break through into the Golden Core Realm.

Ordinary Realm-Breaking Pills could only raise a cultivator's minor realm. Only Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills could help a cultivator break through a major realm.

But she had truly come to pick a fight as well.

Because she knew very clearly just how difficult Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills were to refine.

That was a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill. The difficulty of successfully refining one was not even below that of a Nascent Soul Pill.

"What? Nothing to say now? You claimed you could custom-make pills, yet you cannot even refine a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, and you still dare call yourself an alchemy expert?"

Yun Feiyan mocked.

"If you can't refine it, then roll up your bedding and get out. Even my Joyful Union Sect's Alchemical Master, Martial Aunt Su Mei, failed when she opened her furnace to refine Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills three months ago. She only produced a few ruined pills. If you can refine one, wouldn't that make you even greater than our Joyful Union Sect's Alchemical Master? Is that even possible?"

Jiang Yurou said scornfully.

"What..."

Lu Chen was both shocked and delighted upon hearing this. Three months ago, Elder Su Mei had opened her furnace to refine Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills?

And there were even discarded pills?

Haha, the discarded Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills had to be stored in the Waste Pill Repository.

Wasn't this practically free points?

"Mm-hm. I didn't say anything because I was wondering whether you could produce the spiritual herbs needed to refine a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill. I may take custom pill orders, but you still have to provide the herbs. Without spiritual herbs, what pill am I supposed to refine?"

Lu Chen said calmly.

"The spiritual herbs needed for pill refining? Fine. I'll personally deliver them tomorrow night. But if you fail to refine a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, what will you do then?"

Yun Feiyan gritted her teeth. If she emptied her own stores and gathered all the spiritual herbs in the Yun Household, she could still scrape together enough herbs for one batch of Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pills.

"Very well. Everyone here can bear witness: if I fail to refine a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, I'll let you deal with me however you wish."

Lu Chen said sternly.

"And you? If I refine a Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill, what will you do?"

Lu Chen looked coldly at Yun Feiyan.

"I'll also let you deal with me however you wish!"

Yun Feiyan met Lu Chen's gaze directly.

"Good. You said it yourself. Heh heh!"

Lu Chen's eyes burned as he stared at Yun Feiyan.

"Eldest Senior Sister, this..."

Jiang Yurou looked at Yun Feiyan worriedly.

"What are you afraid of? You don't seriously think he's even better than Martial Uncle Su Mei, an Alchemical Master, do you?"

Yun Feiyan said dismissively.

"Then it's settled!"

Lu Chen was overjoyed. Once he went back tomorrow morning, he would immediately scour the Waste Pill Repository.

I refuse to believe I won't find a discarded Nine-Turn Boundary-Breaking Pill.

I've already won.

The Joyful Union Sect's eldest senior sister, huh? I'll make her sing 'Conquer' right in front of me.
