Chapter 75: The Perfect Alchemy Method

Kui Bi was a loose cultivator, an alchemy master who had wandered for over fifty years. Once an ordinary alchemy disciple in the Ziyun Sect, he endured hardships after the celestial maiden’s fall. Through misfortune, he gained deeper insights into alchemy, eventually rising to become a sixth-tier alchemy master.

His obscurity faded as sects began inviting him to join, even offering elder positions. Yet due to lingering regrets, he refused to rejoin any sect, focusing instead on secluded cultivation in Qingjing Valley and occasional alchemy practice.

He knew he teetered on the edge of reaching the Nascent Soul stage but had yet to break through. When the Zhen Yan Sect approached him, he nearly dismissed them—until they mentioned refining the Bone Refinement Pill.

This surprised him. The Bone Refinement Pill was considered mediocre, effective only for Qi Refinement cultivators or ordinary mortals. Yet it required the rare Seven Heart Spirit Leaf, a key ingredient for the Barrier Breaking Pill used to advance from Nascent Soul to God Transformation Stage. Any sensible sect would prioritize the latter. Clearly, the Zhen Yan Sect was… unconventional.

Seeking to refine high-tier pills for deeper alchemical insights, Kui Bi proposed using half a Seven Heart Spirit Leaf for a Barrier Breaking Pill. As a sixth-tier master attempting a ninth-tier pill, failure was likely—but the experience would still benefit him.

To his shock, the Zhen Yan Sect rejected his proposal. Instead, they offered Tianyuan Dragon Bamboo, Ice Fire Crystal Flower, or Xuan Feather Grass—any one of these top-tier Spiritual Plants, even negotiable for two! These plants were priceless; Xuan Feather Grass could even craft tenth-tier pills! Were they mad? Trading such treasures for mere seventh-tier pills?

Kui Bi couldn’t sit still. Fearful these clueless fools would ruin the plants, he dragged their messenger disciple and rushed to the Zhen Yan Sect. As a professional, he had to safeguard those Spiritual Plants himself.

Arriving at dawn, Kui Bi gaped at the floating peaks shrouded in dense spiritual energy—a sight rivaling first-rate immortal sects. The messenger disciple led him unimpeded toward the main peak.

“Wait,” Kui Bi blurted, “where’s your protective mountain formation?”

“We had one!” The disciple shrugged. “After our sect master Established a Contract with Master Yuan Qi, he layers ten protective mountain formations every few days. But Master Feng Rong keeps burning them for being ‘too weak.’ See that blackened peak? That’s from his last tantrum.”

Kui Bi stared. Ten-layered formations required top-tier mastery! How could they be so casually destroyed?

His attention shifted to disciples swarming the sky on swords. “Why allow such chaos here?”

“It’s orderly!” The disciple pointed at three glowing formations above. “Our sect master’s ‘traffic lights’—green means go. Prevents collisions. Very efficient!”

Indeed, the swarm moved with eerie discipline. Kui Bi gave up and demanded, “Take me to the alchemy room. Now.”

The room held a towering Xuan Iron pill furnace, cold from disuse. Ling Qi, the Golden Core Stage steward, greeted him. “Daoist Lord Kui, we trust you’ll succeed.”

“I have seventy percent confidence,” Kui Bi warned. “Failure is possible.”

Ling Qi smiled. “This time, you’ll succeed.”

Before Kui Bi could question his certainty, Ling Qi ushered in a stunning man in white—Yuan Qi, the sect master’s sole Follower.

“Master Yuan Qi will observe until the pill is complete,” Ling Qi said.

Yuan Qi sat calmly, smiling. “Proceed as usual. Ignore me.”

Kui Bi: “…”

How could he ignore a *God Transformation Cultivator* staring at him?!
