On a stormy night, was someone hiking alone in the back mountains?
Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning?
Everyone stared at Yang Zhen with bewildered expressions, their eyes flashing with absurdity, clearly thinking, "I don't believe you for a second."
Yang Zhen didn't care what others thought. He took a deep breath and said, "Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from mid-air, like a bull bellowing. It almost scared me to death. Then, with a thud, a blood-soaked old man fell from the sky. I received nine years of compulsory education in the village, so Dao Venerable and care for the young. I also know that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. So, risking my life... risking being bitten to death by the bull, I saved this old man."
"A ferocious beast like a bull?" Mei Chaofeng's expression suddenly hardened as she stared at Yang Zhen and asked, "Did you see clearly what kind of ferocious beast it was? Its roar was so terrifying that it could shake one's mind."
Yang Zhen shook his head and said, "I was so scared I almost peed my pants. I didn't dare to look at what kind of ferocious beast it was. But then the Elder Yao said that he still wouldn't give up and that he had to personally kill that four-legged worm."
" Elder Yao?" Guan Guan was taken aback, and hurriedly took control of the furnace, her eyes flashing with surprise and uncertainty.
"A four-legged worm!" Mei Chaofeng took a deep breath and said with a strange expression, "So, your alchemy skills were all passed down from him?"
Upon hearing Mei Chaofeng's words, everyone present gasped in unison.
The chubby boy looked on with envy, muttering to himself, "So these legendary fortuitous opportunity are real! This 'Elder Yao ' must be an incredibly powerful senior. I'm so envious! No wonder Fellow Daoist Yang Kaixin's skill in alchemy is so high."
"No!"
Yang Zhen's words startled everyone. Mei Chaofeng frowned and asked in surprise, "No?"
Damn it, why are you telling us all this stuff?
Isn't that utter nonsense?
Ji Yourong looked at Yang Zhen with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. She was the only one present who knew Yang Zhen's personality well; she would just blurt things out without ever telling the truth.
Ironically, the very words that even ghosts couldn't believe came out of Yang Zhen's mouth, making it hard to tell whether they were true or false.
Doubt is better than disbelief, so most people were confused by Yang Zhen's words. Once confused, the question of belief or disbelief no longer existed, and in the end, all that remained in their minds was the thought, "So that's how it is. How absurd!"
As expected, under Ji Yourong and exasperated expression, Yang Zhen took a deep breath and said, " Elder Yao ultimately failed to survive; his soul and spirit were annihilated. Before his death, he sealed all his life's learning into my Divine Sense space. These... are the fruits of his life's research, which I cherish immensely."
"Ah!" Guan Guan exclaimed, tears welling in her eyes, and said to Yang Zhen, " Yang Kaixin, you must carry forward the legacy of our elders."
Yang Zhen nodded heavily, looking at Mei Chaofeng with innocent eyes.
Mei Chaofeng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "In that case, I will not ask any further questions. Cultivation for a hundred years is not easy. Since you and that Elder Yao have such a connection, cherish it. However, the path of alchemy is ultimately Dao Path with difficulties. Take care of yourself."
"Yes, junior will remember!" Yang Zhen bowed and winked at Ji Yourong.
Ji Yourong glared at Yang Zhen, who had once again gotten away with something.
At this moment, Ji Yourong understood why Yang Zhen had suddenly brought up their acquaintance. It turned out that this guy had been confident all along that he could be vague and cover up his past.
This is for her own good, to prevent her from being implicated if things are exposed in the future.
Just then, Guan Guan suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and slammed her hands heavily onto the Pill Furnace Pill Furnace. A burst of multicolored light erupted from Pill Furnace furnace, and wisps of steam rose from its vents, carrying with them a fragrant aroma that delighted everyone.
"This... this is Origin-Stabilizing Pill?" Mei Chaofeng's face showed shock as she stared at the Pill Furnace in disbelief. Suddenly, she exclaimed, "Impossible! How could there be such a pure Origin-Stabilizing Pill?"
The higher the purity of a pill, the better its effect. This is a principle that every cultivator understands. Therefore, high-purity pills are basically priceless and unavailable for sale. Cultivators who obtain such pills are reluctant to sell them and keep them all for their own use.
Everyone gasped. Although they didn't know how to refine pills, they could easily tell the purity of the pills.
The aroma emanating from this elixir clearly indicated a high-purity Origin-Stabilizing Pill, unlike anything ever seen before. This shocked everyone even more than hearing about the four-legged worm.
Everyone looked at Yang Zhen with surprise. They never expected that with just a few words of guidance from Yang Zhen, Guan Guan would not only break through the bottleneck that had been hindering her, but also successfully refine the Origin-Stabilizing Pill using a simple method. Moreover, the purity of the Origin-Stabilizing Pill was even higher than that of the traditional method.
This... this is simply impossible.
All the Pill Formula in the world have been perfected over many years. Almost every mature Pill Formula is nearly perfect, and no other method can replace it. Even a slight error can result in drastically different pills.
This is also why the same Pill Formula can produce pills with vastly different effects and appearances when refined by different Alchemist.
But... everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with shock.
The Origin-Stabilizing Pill Formula was broken by such a young Alchemy Grandmaster?
Although Yang Zhen was largely to blame, this still left everyone feeling incredulous.
The happiest person was Mei Chaofeng. She looked at Guan Guan with undisguised joy and asked expectantly, " Guan Guan, you succeeded?"
Guan Guan's face lit up with a happy smile. She glanced excitedly at Yang Zhen before turning to Mei Chaofeng and saying, "Yes, I succeeded, Elder Mei! I succeeded!"
Mei Chaofeng laughed heartily and said reassuringly, "May Heaven bless my Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain! May Heaven bless my Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain! Guan Guan Origin-Stabilizing Pill, the strength of my Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain will increase significantly in a very short time."
All the disciples of the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain behind him were excited. The higher the content of the Origin-Stabilizing Pill, the higher the success rate of pill formation, and the more Origin-Stabilizing Pill they would obtain. As a result, their cultivation speed would be almost twice or even more than that of cultivators outside the Heavenly Snow Sacred Domain. With such a cultivation speed, even a fool would not be much slower than an ordinary cultivator.
boom--!
A roar burst forth from the Pill Cauldron, shooting into the sky. Five-colored light shone brightly, and the intoxicating fragrance of the elixir became even stronger, leaving everyone in awe.
Rumble!
As terrifying air currents churned in mid-air, celestial phenomena slowly coalesced, and everyone's faces immediately showed expressions of shock.
It worked!
When the celestial phenomena are complete, the elixir will appear!
It had only been a short time since it was refined, but the Origin-Stabilizing Pill had already been successfully refined, and it was a superior Higher Vehicle Origin-Stabilizing Pill with extremely high purity. Everyone who had some skill in alchemy could hardly contain their shock.
With such terrifying refining efficiency, what kind of earth-shattering refining method did Guan Guan create?
Even Yang Zhen was taken aback. He hadn't expected this refining method to be so fast. The Origin-Stabilizing Pill, which would normally take half a day to refine, was completed in just half an hour?
Seeing Guan Guan was about to complete her elixir, Yang Zhen became interested and curiously watched what Guan Guan would do.
