Sect Annihilation

On the large ship on its return journey.

Fang Yu was playing with a ' Five Elements Spirit Fruit ' in his hand. This was a reward given to him by True Person Jade Liquid on behalf of Jiangxia Jiang Xiasheng. According to True Person Jade Liquid, Jiang Xiasheng gave him two, so they each got one.

The Five Elements Spirit Fruit is the core ingredient for refining the ' Golden Core Formation Pill '. Its effects are much milder than those of using Inner Core Demon Beast inner cores, and the probability of forming a core after consumption is also higher.

This is an incredible fortuitous opportunity for Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Besides the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, there was also a considerable amount of contribution points, which allowed Fang Yu to make up for all the contributions he had made in setting up the third-order formation, and there were even some left over.

From these two perspectives, Jiang Xiasheng was quite generous to True Person Jade Liquid and Fang Yu, the two survivors of the alchemy process.

"Once you return, you must keep silent about what happened during the alchemy process, especially regarding the Five Elements Spirit Fruit —don't let anyone know!"

When True Person Jade Liquid gave him the Five Elements Spirit Fruit, he was in a good mood, but his instructions to Fang Yu were very serious, and he repeated them several times before he felt at ease.

Fang Yu felt relieved, but also a little regretful.

The fact that Jiang Xiasheng could give them the ' Five Elements Spirit Fruit ' meant that he wouldn't specifically target the two of them anymore. Perhaps in his heart, he didn't care about those who assisted in alchemy at all; he didn't care if they died or if they were lucky enough to survive.

This left Fang Yu had already decided to try and steal something, with some regret, but that regret quickly disappeared, replaced by a sense of security from returning home.

While a desperate act of robbery might be thrilling, he prefers the sense of security that comes from having everything under control.

Several months later.

The Four-Feather Great Warship returned to the mountain gate and landed steadily in the port square. Fang Yu followed True Person Jade Liquid aboard and glanced around the square, noticing that it was much busier than usual.

Large ships of various classes set sail one after another, with large groups of disciples waiting to board.

"What's going on? Why are so many disciples gathered at the port?"

True Person Jade Liquid also noticed the situation at the port and said, "Just ask someone!"

The two then randomly asked a passing junior disciple what had happened.

"You two senior brothers must have just returned, which is why they don't know that the sect issued a large-scale annihilation mission a month ago!"

"A mission to exterminate a sect?"

True Person Jade Liquid was slightly startled, but after inquiring carefully, he learned the details.

A month ago, a merchant ship belonging to the Nascent Soul faction ' Yellow Cloud Sect ' under the sect was hijacked.

The cause was later determined to be the work of the Primordial Devil Sect Heavenly Devil Sect.

The two Nascent Soul Ascension Immortal Sect immediately went to war. Yellow Cloud Sect immediately sought help from its superior sect, the Feathered Primordial Devil Sect. The sect then issued a large-scale mission to assist Yellow Cloud Sect in annihilating the Yuanmo Sect, and offered the opportunity to exchange for precious resources such as Foundation Establishment Pill, Golden Core Formation Pill, Spirit Artifact, and Law Treasure. This immediately made the disciples of the sect green with envy. Inner disciples, outer disciples, and even menial disciples all accepted the mission to eliminate the demons and defend the righteous path.

Fang Yu and True Person Jade Liquid exchanged a glance and immediately understood that this was an act of revenge by the sect against Sima Batian Heavenly God Sect for attempting to seize the Nine-Aperture Golden Core.

Yellow Cloud Sect and Primordial Devil Sect are merely agents of two major Spirit Transformation level forces.

"Such a large-scale sect-annihilation mission is a great opportunity for us Alchemist. The sect will definitely issue a large number of alchemy tasks, and our contributions will certainly be much greater than usual!"

True Person Jade Liquid immediately became excited and then checked the latest sect mission. "Junior brother, how about you and I join forces? Let's take this opportunity to make a fortune."

Fang Yu immediately nodded and said, "I'll do whatever you say, Senior Brother!"

True Person Jade Liquid nodded and said, "Alright, you go back to your cave abode and settle in first. I'll see what tasks are suitable for us and find you right away. By the way, you're different now than before. You need to find some disciples to assist you in alchemy. If you have time, take on more tasks explaining the Dao of Alchemy. This is the fastest way for us to cultivate our own people..."

"Yes, Senior Brother is right!" Fang Yu nodded repeatedly upon hearing this. He chatted with True Person Jade Liquid for a while longer before parting ways and returning to his own cave abode.

*****

Activating the third-order array restriction, Fang Yu returned to his cave abode, which he had not visited for ten years.

The ' Cloud Mist Cave,' which had been closed for ten years, had accumulated even more Spiritual Qi energy; the misty Spiritual Qi was already almost up to his waist.

Walking inside the cave abode truly felt like being in the clouds.

"Suck..."

He immediately took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Qi in the cave abode was absorbed into his Purple Mansion. In just a short while, most of the accumulated spiritual mist was absorbed, and the cave abode returned to its original state.

He sat down at the tea table, brewed a pot of tea, and slowly sipped it while pondering his next steps.

Continuing to follow True Person Jade Liquid in accepting large-scale alchemy tasks and refining pills is a must, after all, this persona cannot be ruined.

In addition, the "preaching" that True Person Jade Liquid mentioned should also be put on the agenda, and cultivating some of his own alchemy practitioners will also help solidify his persona.

My current cultivation level can be improved appropriately.

'I participated in the refining of fifth-tier Great Pills. Reaching the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage from the Foundation Establishment Early Stage in ten years isn't particularly fast.'

Fang Yu murmured something, thought for a moment, and then raised his Foundation Establishment Third Layer cultivation to Foundation Establishment Fourth Layer, officially entering the Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

*****

One year later.

The Dharma Transmission Platform.

"Quick, quick, quick! Today Senior Brother Jiang is explaining the second-level Dao of Alchemy, we must grab a good spot!"

"I've heard that Junior Brother Jiang once refined a fifth-tier Spirit Transformation Pill alongside Grandmaster Jiang Xiasheng. I wonder if that's true or not."

"How could this be fake? It must be true, otherwise how could Senior Brother Jiang's Dao of Alchemy skills be so strong?"

"I had heard other Alchemist explain the Dao of Alchemy before, but I didn't understand it very well. Later, after listening to Senior Brother Jiang's lecture, I suddenly felt enlightened!"

"If you ask me, among the Second-Tier Alchemist, Senior Brother Jiang's explanation is the best!"

"Look, Senior Brother Jiang is here!"

"..."

Before the crowded lecture platform, all the Qi Refining Realm disciples aspiring to the Dao of Dao of Alchemy looked into the distance. Then they saw a streak of light slowly approaching and landing on the platform, revealing an ordinary-looking young man.

Fang Yu sat down on the platform, his gaze sweeping over the numerous Qi Refining Realm disciples, and said in a deep voice, "Today's lecture will cover the method of refining second-tier Foundation Establishment Pill..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples below the stage were all excited, and they all pricked up their ears, afraid of missing a single word.

As time passed, two hours quickly went by. Fang Yu explained the method of refining the Foundation Establishment Pill without reservation, and then looked at everyone, saying, "If anyone has any questions, please ask them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, many disciples raised their hands. Fang Yu's gaze swept over the crowd, then he looked at an outer disciple in the Qi Refining Late Stage and called out his name:

"Chen Tang!"

Chen Tang immediately stood up, bowed respectfully to Fang Yu, and said, "The method for processing the Gold Jade Lingzhi that Senior Brother just mentioned..."
