With Chen Shuangbai's words, Ding Chengyu knew what to do.
The Huangji Chen Clan migrated from another country. Although they now live within the territory under the Jade Spring Sect, they were not very close to the Jade Spring Sect in the past.
Now they've come forward, even trying to get involved by using Chen Shuangbai 'Chen Shuangbai reputation without her knowledge.
Having considered this, Ding Chengyu had already crossed Huangji Chen Clan's name off his mind.
The other lineages and cultivation Lineage within the Jade Guarding Hall have already considered the possibility of relocating to East Mountain Commandery, but they need to ask someone to balance the relationships between the various parties.
Ding Chengyu took a sip of tea and asked, "Junior Brother, are you perhaps considering... making some plans regarding the White Water Chen Clan behind you?"
Chen Shuangbai raised an eyebrow slightly.
To be honest, he did have some interest in it...
The reason he didn't say it was simply because he felt that the White Water Chen Clan didn't meet the requirements at all.
The current situation in East Mountain Commandery can be described as one of utter devastation requiring reconstruction.
The first requirement for relocation is sufficient cultural heritage; otherwise, it is not enough to quickly establish a foothold and improve the local livelihood.
Secondly, there needs to be a sufficient number of Qi Refining cultivators stationed there; otherwise, let alone establishing a foothold, they might be swallowed up by the local cultivation forces as soon as they arrive.
A few days ago, someone sent a letter from home saying that there were only three Qi Refining cultivators at most: one at the Third Layer of Qi Refinement and two at the Qi Refining First Layer.
The Third Layer of Qi Refinement is Chen Yizhao, who cultivates at the Spring-Venerating Daoist Academy. His talent is the best of this generation.
As for those with even better talent... the next generation hasn't even grown up yet, so it would be a waste of time for them to go.
Rather than taking a gamble, it's better to stay put and develop steadily for a generation or two, until enough Qi Refining cultivators have emerged and established a foothold within the sect, before considering anything else.
Therefore, Chen Shuangbai decisively refused.
Ding Chengyu was somewhat taken aback.
It's important to know that many of these selected lineages and cultivation Lineage are related to several senior cultivators within their respective sects...
Chen Shuangbai's decisiveness already demonstrates considerable courage.
"I see"
Ding Chengyu answered in this way.
After resolving this matter, Chen Shuangbai turned and went to Deer Deep Waters Peak.
Yi Chongyue took out a somewhat familiar Pill Formula and handed it to Chen Shuangbai, saying, "Your ' Aging-Delay Pill '... well, how should I put it... it's a very strange pill. Its effect should be to indirectly prolong the peak period of one's strength..."
This elixir formula has made a significant contribution to the entire Jade Spring Sect.
This is equivalent to giving those old cultivators who have reached the Foundation Establishment Perfection another opportunity to make a contribution to the sect.
Yi Chongyue sat in the main seat, sipping his tea and speaking casually. But as he spoke, his eyes widened involuntarily as he looked at Chen Shuangbai. After a long pause, he finally said, "You... you've reached the mid-stage?"
Chen Shuangbai smiled slyly and said, "Master has excellent eyesight."
Yi Chongyue was stunned for a long time, then burst into laughter. He then pulled Chen Shuangbai to the portrait of his lineage's patriarch and bowed repeatedly, looking very happy.
His main purpose in coming here was to see how well his master and Uncle Yan had researched the Aging-Delay Pill. He discovered that these two second-level Alchemist had not only thoroughly studied the Pill Formula, but had even improved it slightly.
"Master is indeed Dao of Alchemy."
Listening to Chen Shuangbai flattering him, Yi Chongyue was very pleased. Then Chen Shuangbai took out the perfected Pill Formula for the [ Green Wood Transforming Rain Pill ] and asked his master for his correction.
After obtaining the Spirit-Nurturing Pearl produced by the Spirit-Nurturing Clam, Chen Shuangbai spent some time perfecting it, just as Yi Chongyue had suggested.
Yi Chongyue carefully examined the Pill Formula three times, then said, "Let's refine one batch and see."
"Good."
Some time has passed.
Chen Shuangbai refined a batch of [ Green Wood Transforming Rain Pill ] and happily went to Deer Deep Waters Peak.
Inside the main hall.
This time, not only was their own master sitting there, but there were also several Foundation Establishment cultivators present.
Seeing Chen Shuangbai walk in, Yi Chongyue looked up and introduced him to his fellow disciples with a smile, "Look, my eldest disciple has arrived."
Besides Master Yi Chongyue, there were four other Foundation Establishment cultivators present.
Besides his senior master Shi Yubai Peng Yu, the head of the Jade Dew Hall Yan Nanlai, also came, as well as another junior master in the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage, who was another deputy head of Heavenly Spring Peak named Dong Lüqi.
Chen Shuangbai greeted each of his senior uncles and elder brothers.
Several Foundation Establishment cultivators stared at Chen Shuangbai in astonishment, for they all realized that Chen Shuangbai's current cultivation level was actually at the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.
Dong Lüqi looked like a very kind middle-aged woman, with a round face, gentle eyebrows and eyes, wearing a dark green Daoist robe, her hair tied up with a simple wooden hairpin, and she had few ornaments on her body, making her look very simple.
Her eyes brightened slightly as she clearly sensed that Chen Shuangbai's foundation was very solid, without any of the superficiality that comes with taking pills. She praised Yi Chongyue, " Senior Brother Yi, I'm so envious of you!"
What do you mean?
"Where did you find such a disciple who excels in both alchemy and swordsmanship? Could you also find one for my junior sister?"
Yi Chongyue couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Alright, alright, enough with the formalities."
Shi Yubai interrupted with a smile, clearly very satisfied with his junior apprentice, " Shuangbai, where are the pills you refined? Quickly take them out and let your senior uncles and aunts see them."
Chen Shuangbai responded and took out a warm, white jade elixir bottle from her Storage Bag, presenting it with both hands.
Yi Chongyue flicked his finger, and the bottle stopper popped open. Suddenly, a fresh and elegant fragrance, carrying a rich life force, filled the hall.
Dong Lüqi plucked a wisp of cinnabar fragrance, took a deep sniff, and then closed her eyes, as if making an assessment.
"The fragrance of this medicine is clear and pure, moist but not cloying, and its vitality is contained within without being released. It truly possesses the qualities of a superior elixir that strengthens the body's foundation and nourishes its roots."
Her mastery of Dao of Alchemy was second only to Yi Chongyue and Yan Nanlai, which was quite convincing.
Soon, each of the five Foundation Establishment cultivators held a round, emerald-green pill.
The pill seemed to be surrounded by an extremely faint blue spiritual mist, its surface was smooth and rounded, with natural textures like wood grain, and a point of emerald light flowed in the center, as if it were the condensation of the essence of plants.
As for its effectiveness...
Dong Lüqi swallowed it and began to refine it using her internal energy.
Before long, I felt a gentle and peaceful medicinal power dissipate from my throat. It was not violent, but like spring rain in March, it quietly soaked into my limbs and bones. Many of the hidden injuries in my body had been quietly nourished and soothed by this gentle and lasting life force, and my foundation had also been purified a lot.
What moved Dong Lüqi even more was that the vitality contained in this medicine not only nourished the physical body, but also had a slightly soothing effect on the already solidified soul of Foundation Establishment cultivator.
Dong Lüqi slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling with admiration, and exclaimed:
"Indeed exquisite!"
