Chapter 311 Listening to the Dao of Alchemy and Sitting in the Hall Again This Lowly Servant Has Someone to Back Her Up

Yu Xian glanced at her stunning figure and face, then lowered his eyes, quickly walked over, and bowed, saying, “Disciple Yu Xian greets Sect Master.”

Hong Shao withdrew her seemingly admiring but actually thoughtful gaze, turned to look at Yu Xian, and said with a faint smile, “Yu Xian, you’re amazing.”

“Forehead……”

Yu Xian was taken aback, unsure whether Hong Shao was praising him or teasing him. He knew what Hong Shao meant.

Killing Mu Hanling earned Yu Xian 5,000 sect contribution points; if we’re talking about skill, Yu Xian certainly deserves the title.

After all, being able to achieve this level within the same realm already qualifies one as a prodigy.

“This disciple is ashamed…”

Yu Xian smiled shyly, neither explaining nor denying it outright.

“It seems that the three months you and Hua Yuan disappeared together were a purposeful and planned attempt to assassinate Mu Hanling. Hua Yuan gave you the contribution points, but he also brought you disaster.”

Hong Shao said calmly, “Mu Hanling is the beloved disciple of Wan Hun Zhenren. Although Wan Hun Zhenren is a demonic and evil cultivator with an extremely cruel heart, and he is not bothered by feelings and righteousness, you still killed his disciple. He will definitely hold a grudge against you. If he has the chance in the future, he will definitely not let you go. Being remembered by a powerful evil cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage is really troublesome for you.”

In fact, Yu Xian had already thought about the issue of red peony.

But no matter how strong Wanhun Zhenren is, would he dare to openly come to Haotian Zhengzong to cause trouble for him? If he dares to come, he will definitely not return.

As for being in the wild, whenever I go out, I will definitely disguise myself and not tell anyone else.

Could the Myriad Souls True Man possibly be so shrewd as to know where he is going?

The Great Dao of Deduction is beyond the grasp of even a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even if one could grasp a little, one could at most deduce a direction, but would absolutely not be able to accurately locate Yu Xian personally.

Therefore, Yu Xian was not worried about being resented by Wan Hun Zhenren.

After all… there’s no use in worrying, right?

Therefore, Yu Xian shook his head and said, “What is meant to be will be, and what is meant to be will be. Let him hold a grudge if he wants. I will be extremely careful when I leave the mountain in the future. If I am still found by him under such circumstances, then it is my fate to die.”

“You’re quite easygoing.”

Hong Shao smiled, carefully examined Yu Xian, and nodded, saying, “Well, you’ve already reached the peak of Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, and you’ll probably condense your core within ten years. Strive to achieve your Golden Core as soon as possible. The higher your cultivation level, the harder it will be for True Person Wan Hun to pinpoint your location.”

Yu Xian solemnly replied, “This disciple will strive to achieve the Golden Core stage.”

Hong Shao said no more. She knew in her heart that if Yu Xian’s cultivation was not considered diligent, then there was no one in the world who would be considered diligent.

She smiled and turned to walk towards a pavilion: “Come, I will continue to tell you about the Great Dao of Alchemy. After I finish this, I will go into seclusion for five years to break through to the Nascent Soul stage. You should also prepare during these five years. After five years, I will take you to Ascension Island again to settle your heart’s burdens.”

Yu Xian paused for a moment upon hearing this.

Should we visit Ascension Island again?

Could it be that she’s trying to find out the real cause of You Xiaocao’s death?

But now more than 20 years have passed, and You Xiaocao’s remains have probably been eaten by wild animals. Where can we find the cause of death?

Yu Xian thought to himself for a moment, and then returned to normal.

Let’s talk about it then. It’s five years from now, so there’s no need to worry about it now.

If she really finds out the cause of You Xiaocao’s death, then she can do whatever she wants with her.

Anyway, I envy myself and have a clear conscience.

Following Hongshao to the pavilion, Hongshao waved and said, “Sit down.”

Yu Xian shook his head and said, “When the sect leader imparts his teachings, this disciple should stand and receive instruction.”

Seeing this, Hongshao shook her head and smiled, then tapped him and said, “You, being too polite makes you seem old-fashioned.”

“My mother once told me this.”

Yu Xian shook his head again and said seriously, “If a person doesn’t even know the proper etiquette towards the elders who have been kind to him or whom he has been taught, and thinks he is carefree and unrestrained but doesn’t know how to respect them, then he has lost the principles of being a human being and is no different from an animal.”

“oh?”

Hong Shao’s eyes flickered as she looked at Yu Xian and said, “Your mother is quite knowledgeable.”

“My mother…”

Yu Xian paused, but couldn’t say anything.

Seeing this, Hong Shao reached out and gently patted Yu Xian’s shoulder, saying, “Alright, don’t think about sad things. We cultivators have left the mortal world. Due to the difference in lifespan, no matter how close our mortal relatives or friends are, we can only turn into dust. This is something we can’t help. Remember, feelings can stay in your heart, but they can’t become a burden.”

Yu Xian let out a soft breath and nodded, saying, “Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master.”

“Yes, your state of mind is excellent, so I’m not worried. Just calm down.”

Hong Shao smiled calmly and said, “Let’s start from where we left off last time…”

Hong Shao began to explain the Dao of Alchemy, and Yu Xian stood beside her, listening attentively, immersed in the vast ocean of Dao of Alchemy.

In this way, more than ten days passed without us realizing it, and all the teaching time accumulated over the year was used up.

Hong Shao was also straightforward. When the time was up, she stopped talking and said with a faint smile, “Time’s up. That’s all for now. Go back and ponder it slowly.”

Yu Xian was slightly taken aback, then his eyes showed a look of realization. He bowed and said, “Thank you for your teachings, Sect Master. This disciple will take his leave.”

Under Hong Shao’s instruction in alchemy for the past ten days or so, Yu Xian felt that his alchemy skills had improved significantly!

Although it’s only a theoretical improvement, Yu Xian believes that when it comes to actually starting to refine pills, it will definitely increase the success rate of pill refining by a lot!

Yu Xian even felt that he could try refining a fifth-grade superior treasure pill!

“Go.”

Hong Shao smiled calmly and said, “Starting tomorrow, I will go into seclusion.”

“This disciple wishes the Sect Master a successful Nascent Soul Formation!”

Yu Xian immediately shouted earnestly.

“I hope it works, but if it doesn’t… hahaha, I won’t die anyway, go on, go on.”

Hong Shao laughed heartily, full of carefree joy, and waved her hand.

Yu Xian glanced deeply at Hong Shao, bowed again, then took three steps back and turned to leave.

The danger of breaking through from the Golden Core stage to the Nascent Soul stage is more than a hundred times greater than that of breaking through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage!

Once they fail, very few survive.

Unlike the Foundation Establishment to Golden Core breakthrough, where some lucky ones can transform into pseudo-core to survive if they fail, the Golden Core Great Perfection to Nascent Soul breakthrough is truly a dead end if one cannot condense their own Nascent Soul!

However, Yu Xian could not provide any help to Hong Shao in forming a Nascent Soul. Even Nascent Soul Blood was only useful for Core Formation and Golden Core cultivators, and had almost no effect on Golden Core Great Perfection cultivators forming a Nascent Soul.

Therefore, all he could do was sincerely wish Hong Shao success!

Every breakthrough in cultivation is a path to becoming stronger, but also a path to overcome tribulations!

Many cultivators, lacking courage, didn’t even dare to break through, choosing instead to live on until their time was up.

This is a great calamity that will destroy cultivators!

Cultivators who devour the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and use all living beings as nourishment for their cultivation are a great calamity and disaster for this “heaven and earth”.

Therefore, with each step a cultivator takes, a great calamity will befall them. Only after breaking through can their cultivation advance greatly, their lifespan increase significantly, and they can continue to wreak havoc on “heaven and earth”.

However, if one’s realm becomes too high and one achieves Mahayana, then to advance further, one will face a true calamity of heaven and earth!

Heavenly thunder, earthly fire, and inner demons all attacked and killed!

If one can withstand the pressure and break through to the next level, then one will no longer be human.

Rather, they are immortals!

In theory, aside from the five calamities of heaven and man, immortals are those who can live forever!

Ultimately, the path of cultivation is a path of struggle against heaven and earth!

Ultimately, one must cultivate oneself to be as powerful and enduring as heaven and earth!

It is said that it lives as long as heaven and earth.

Some even more powerful ones boast that they surpass heaven and earth, that even if heaven and earth perish, they will not perish! Even if the universe collapses, they will live on forever!

Yu Xian quickly left the main hall of the sect, adjusted his somewhat worried mood towards Hong Shao, and walked towards the alchemy hall at the foot of the mountain, recalling the alchemy techniques that Hong Shao had just taught him, which left a deep impression.

Hong Shao’s alchemy skills far surpassed his own; Yu Xian felt he would never catch up with her alchemy attainments within fifty to a hundred years.

However, she had cultivated for over five hundred years, more than five hundred years older than me, so it was quite normal for her to have such attainments.

Once I reach the Golden Core stage and achieve the middle or late stages, I will surely be able to catch up with and surpass her.

Of course, by then she might have already broken through and become a Grandmaster of Nascent Soul Alchemy, and her alchemy skills would have far surpassed his own.

While pondering to himself, Yu Xian had unknowingly arrived at the foot of the mountain.

After more than ten days, the alchemy hall had become very lively, with many people waiting there, hoping to be the first to ask Yu Xian to refine pills when he took the reins.

Just then, as Yu Xian walked down the mountain road, someone with sharp eyes spotted him immediately and excitedly shouted, “Master Alchemist Yu is down! He’s back from the Sect Master!”

“He’s here! He’s finally here!”

“A full fourteen days! What alchemy techniques did the sect leader teach him this time?!”

“Master Alchemist Yu! You’ve finally arrived! I’d like to ask you to help me refine a high-grade fourth-rank pill!”

“Me! Me too! Senior Brother Yu! Please sit in the hall and help me refine a high-grade fourth-rank pill!”

…

Various sounds rushed in, immediately interrupting Yu Xian’s thoughts.

Yu Xian looked up and saw hundreds of people rushing towards him, as if they wanted to devour him.

Even Yu Xian was taken aback and immediately stopped in his tracks.

“Master Yu the Great Alchemist!”

“Are you here to sit in the clinic?”

“Please help me refine a mid-grade fourth-tier pill!”

“I urgently need a top-grade fourth-tier precious pill. Please grant my request, Senior Brother Yu!”

The crowd surged forward, crowding around Yu Xian. Everyone spoke at once, but their requests were almost identical: they wanted Yu Xian to sit in their office and help them refine pills!

“this……”

Looking at the dozens of people in front of him, and the hundreds more behind him, Yu Xian was speechless for a moment.

So many people want to refine their own pills?

Is this a joke? You’re an alchemist, not an alchemy machine!

If each person has one, that would require hundreds of pills. How could anyone possibly refine them all?

It seems that I was too lenient last time I was refining pills, and I made a bad start.

This can’t continue. If we keep going through all this trouble to refine them, next time we’ll probably have a thousand or even ten thousand for them to refine!

If he refuses to practice, he will surely be cursed by thousands!

Therefore, Yu Xian’s expression turned cold, and he glanced around before slowly saying, “What are you all doing crowding around here? I’m here to sit in the alchemy hall and refine pills, but the rules of the Alchemy Sect stipulate that you can only refine a maximum of two batches of pills a day. This time, I’ll be sitting in the hall for a month and will only refine sixty pills! Go back and line up now. I won’t refine any pills beyond the sixtieth person!”

The surrounding sounds immediately fell silent.

One of them quickly chuckled awkwardly, “Master Yu, don’t joke around. This is your first time sitting in the clinic, but you’ve been sitting there for three months, refining a maximum of five pills a day. How come this time…”

“You also knew that was the first time?”

Yu Xian turned to look at the man and said calmly, “Since it’s the first time, it’s natural that it took a little longer, but how can it always be like this? Wasn’t it the same when other people were in the office before?”

Everyone looked thoughtful.

Yu Xian raised his hand and waved his hand, saying, “Alright, stop crowding around me. There are sixty spots available. Whoever grabs them gets them. As the resident alchemist of the Alchemy Sect, I’m only responsible for alchemy. I don’t care about personal relationships or face!”

Everyone was stunned again, and the next moment the back row suddenly became the front row, and the front row turned around and rushed straight towards the alchemy hall.

Yu Xian is not joking!

This time he really will only be sitting in the clinic for a month, refining only two pills a day. There are a total of sixty spots available, and whoever signs up first gets to use them!

If we can’t get in line this time, who knows how long it will take for Yu Xian to practice next time!

Seeing everyone scatter and head back to the alchemy hall, Yu Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He wasn’t such a heartless person, but he knew that if he wasn’t strict now and didn’t show that he was just following the rules, he would be in big trouble later!

You can give favors, but you shouldn’t give too many, or it will become a habit!

If it becomes a habit, and you suddenly stop giving it to them, then they’ll become enemies!

After regaining his composure, Yu Xian took another step, heading towards the alchemy hall amidst the envious gazes of the many disciples who weren’t actually practicing alchemy but were simply watching.

But they had only taken a few steps, still far from the alchemy hall, when a cold voice suddenly came from the side.

“You crippled my master, so you should compensate him by refining more pills, sitting in the clinic more often, and taking over his tasks! But you deliberately destroyed a great alchemist rival to make yourself irreplaceable! Now you’re putting on an act! You’re utterly despicable and disgusting!”

The sound was harsh and unpleasant.

Yu Xian frowned slightly and turned to look over.

In the distance, Chu Li’er stood in the crowd, pointing at Yu Xian and shouting, “Isn’t he the same as I said before?! I told you before that he would definitely put on airs and act superior, unwilling to refine pills for everyone! Now you should understand how malicious he was for deliberately crippling my master!?”

Chu Li’er’s words caused a stir among the hundreds or even thousands of people around her.

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators who rushed towards the alchemy hall, eager to grab a spot in line, couldn’t help but ponder this in their hearts.

Yu Xian dismissed Guo Pin, claiming it was an accident, but who knows if it really was an accident?

Perhaps he really did it on purpose, with the aim of crippling Guo Pin, so that from then on, apart from You Xiaohua, his alchemy skills would be the best in the alchemy sect!

Then, everyone would flock to him to refine pills, and his status would naturally rise! He could then manipulate others at will!

That makes perfect sense…

“Chu Li’er…”

Several years have passed since Chu Li’er ignored this woman last time, and she has now reached the Great Perfection of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

Her appearance hadn’t changed much, except that her eyebrows and eyes had become more resentful, and the way she looked at him still seemed to want to tear him to pieces.

But she wanted to tear Yu Xian to pieces, and Yu Xian wanted to tear her to pieces too!

Yu Xian gave her a cold look and said in a cold voice, “The sect has already made a decision about Guo Pin’s matter. You have insulted me several times and even tried to kill me. I have tolerated it all for the sake of our fellow disciples. But don’t push your luck. Otherwise, it would not be against the sect rules for me to take you down!”

“I’m pushing my luck!? I should have had those elders kill you in public back then! You thief who stole alchemy techniques!”

Upon hearing Yu Xian’s words, Chu Li’er was not afraid at all. She only screamed and pointed at Yu Xian, gritting her teeth: “How come you didn’t die in Medicine King Valley!?”

Upon hearing the mention of what happened back then, Yu Xian’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he raised his hand and waved it!

That wretched maid was so hateful, so unruly, and so reckless back then!

Ultimately, this led to his being trapped in the Heavenly Demon Valley and separated from his master.

Even now, she still doesn’t think she did anything wrong!?

At the alchemy conference, everyone could learn. How could watching Guo Pin refine elixirs be considered stealing?

She took the opportunity to cause trouble, until things got out of control!

Damn it!

A burst of energy suddenly shot out. Even though it wasn’t a spell, the energy driven by a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator was quite powerful!

If Chu Li’er hadn’t reacted to this sudden attack, it would have sent her flying on the spot, or at least beaten her half to death!

Even if she resists, she will still suffer a great loss!

This kind of woman deserves a slap!

boom!

But before the rapidly approaching energy could even reach Chu Li’er’s face, it was suddenly struck by another energy and dissipated completely.

Yu Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, a murderous intent flashing in them, and looked towards the direction where the energy clashed with his own!

Five people walked out from behind Chu Li’er.

Yu Xian recognized one of them, Yang Song, while the other four were all at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment.

One of the young men, around seventeen or eighteen years old, possessed a powerful aura and exuded a deep sense of pressure.

Yang Song then looked at Yu Xian and sneered, “Yu Xian, if you can’t win an argument, you resort to violence? And you even hit a woman? I thought you were a man, but now it seems you’re nothing but a despicable person!”
