280Chapter 279 The Dao of Alchemy is as vast as the sea the Grand Sect Competition begins

Many people in the Haotian Sect know about the Second Holy Son, Hua Yuandu; in fact, it can be said that everyone knows him. After all, how could anyone not know about the Holy Son’s reputation?

But very few people know Hua Yuandu.

Let alone the Qi Condensation disciples of the outer sect, even the Foundation Establishment disciples of the inner sect have only heard of their names but have never seen them in person.

The last time he caused trouble at the entrance of Yu Xian Courtyard, it was just a fleeting moment. Among all the Foundation Establishment disciples of the entire Haotian Sect, no more than thirty people knew him.

Therefore, when he came to speak to Yu Xian, in other people’s eyes, he was just a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator asking for pills, so it did not cause any sensation.

Only a very few Foundation Establishment cultivators who recognized him suddenly narrowed their eyes, their faces filled with shock!

Hua Yuandu, the second holy son of the Haotian Sect, actually came to ask Yu Xian to refine pills!?

His master is Li Shengjiang, the second elder of the Nascent Soul stage. What kind of pill can’t he get?

Yu Xian frowned slightly as he looked at Hua Yuandu in front of him, wondering whether Hua Yuandu was here to cause trouble or genuinely wanted to refine pills.

He and Hua Yuandu almost got into a fight that day, but Li Shengjiang stopped them. Hua Yuandu was furious at the time, his eyes filled with resentment, as if he would make him pay later.

However, he didn’t target me after that, and four or five years passed without any further action.

Now, he has reappeared before me. What is his intention? Simply to ask me to refine pills? That shouldn’t be the case.

After all, he has such a powerful master, he must have no shortage of any kind of pills, right?

“Fellow Daoist Hua, you want me to help you refine pills?”

Regardless of whether he was friend or foe, Yu Xian asked calmly, “How could you be short of pills?”

“Why can’t I be without medicinal pills?”

Hua Yuan waved his hand and said, “My master is my master, and I am me. Why should I ask my master for things I can do myself? I’m just asking you, can you help me refine it? If you still remember those little grudges from back then, I’ll turn around and leave.”

Yu Xian had long forgotten the so-called “grudges” from back then.

The two of them didn’t actually fight, did they?

Therefore, Yu Xian nodded and said, “As the chief alchemist, since you request the pill, I have no reason not to refine it. However, whether I can refine this pill depends on the formula. If I cannot refine it, then there is nothing I can do.”

“If you can refine even a mid-grade fifth-rank pill, then refining a low-grade fifth-rank pill is a piece of cake for you.”

Upon hearing this, Hua Yuandu smiled and waved his hand, sending a storage bag flying towards Yu Xian.

“Take a look.”

Yu Xian reached out and took it. He probed inside with his mind and saw a large pile of nearly a thousand kinds of spiritual herbs, two fifth-grade low-level demon cores, and a pill formula.

“Is this…two portions?”

Yu Xian pondered to himself, then his gaze fell upon the pill formula. Upon taking one look, his brows immediately furrowed.

The next moment, he took out the pill and examined it carefully, his brows furrowing more and more as he looked at it.

Spirit Sword Pill, a low-grade fifth-tier precious pill.

Although the recipe indicates that this pill is a fifth-grade low-level pill.

However, its complexity is such that it is the only pill formula that Yu Xian has ever seen!

And most importantly, this formula looks more like weapon crafting than alchemy!

A formula combining alchemy and weapon crafting, solely for the purpose of refining a sword pill?

Is this sword-shaped pill a magical artifact or a medicinal pill?

How should it be taken?

However, this prescription is just a prescription; it doesn’t specify how to take or use the sword pill. Presumably, only Hua Yuan knows how to take or use it.

“The combination of alchemy and weapon crafting… How strange… How wondrous…”

Yu Xian frowned in thought, staring at the prescription and falling into deep contemplation.

“Hello?”

After an unknown amount of time, a voice suddenly rang out. Hua Yuan frowned and looked at Yu Xian, saying, “You’ve been watching for three hours now, and it’s getting dark. Are you even capable of refining it?”

“oh?”

Yu Xian was startled by these words. He had been so engrossed in the mystery of the pill formula that he had completely forgotten the time.

Coming to his senses, he shook his head with a wry smile and said, “This pill is too complicated. With my current level of alchemy, it’s already difficult enough to understand it, let alone refine it. I can’t refine it.”

“Isn’t this just a low-grade fifth-tier pill?”

Hua Yuan frowned at Yu Xian and said, “You can refine mid-grade fifth-rank pills, but you can’t refine low-grade fifth-rank pills? If you don’t want to refine them, why make up such an excuse?”

Upon hearing this, Yu Xian looked at Hua Yuandu and smiled, “Fellow Daoist Hua has misunderstood me. Although this pill is a low-grade fifth-rank pill, it is extremely complex. It belongs to the category of rare pills and cannot be compared with ordinary grades. However, if Fellow Daoist Hua trusts me, I might as well study this pill formula for a period of time. In half a year, I may be able to try to refine it.”

“The elixir formula is meant for you to comprehend?”

Hua Yuan frowned as he looked at Yu Xian, and after a moment said slowly, “No, if you can’t refine it, I have to find someone else to refine it. How can I do it if someone else doesn’t have the formula?”

“Yes, that makes sense.”

Yu Xian nodded, put the pill formula into his storage bag, and tossed it back to Hua Yuandu, saying, “Perhaps our Pill Refining Sect Master and Second Elder can refine this pill. You may go and ask them for help.”

Hua Yuandu took the storage bag but did not leave. He just frowned and looked at Yu Xian.

If he were to request the sect leader and the second elder to refine pills, it would still be a waste of his master’s face, not his own.

As for himself, although he was a holy son, before he reached the Golden Core stage, he was not qualified to ask the sect leader of the Alchemy Sect, Hong Shao, or even the Second Elder, Chen Manman, to help him refine pills.

Perhaps these two would refine it for me out of respect for my master, but… it’s better to just ask my master directly!

Or… could we let Yu Xian give it a try?

Previously, Yu Xian had no right to befriend him.

But now that he has displayed such amazing talent in alchemy, and his cultivation is at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, he might become a Grandmaster of Golden Core Alchemy one day. In that case, he can help me for a long time to come.

Of course, once he reaches the Nascent Soul stage, he will be left far behind and disappear without a trace.

Thinking this to himself, Hua Yuandu suddenly smiled and said, “Forget it. I did pick a fight with you before and my words weren’t very pleasant. You can keep this pill formula to study as compensation. I’ll come back to you in six months.”

Yu Xian paused for a moment, then smiled helplessly and said, “Okay.”

He’s quite shrewd. He gave me this pill formula to refine pills for him, but now it’s become compensation for me.

However, Yu Xian naturally wouldn’t dwell on this matter.

Seeing that Yu Xian readily agreed, Hua Yuandu waved his hand, and the storage bag flew towards Yu Xian. He smiled and said, “Keep these alchemy materials too. You can compare them with your own understanding, and you might comprehend them faster. If you’re missing any materials, just let me know and I’ll go and collect them. Study them carefully. If you can really help me refine the Spirit Sword Pill in half a year, I, Hua Yuandu, will consider you my friend! I’ll definitely help you if you ever need anything in the future!”

Yu Xian smiled and said, “Since Fellow Daoist Hua trusts me so much, I will certainly not let him down.”

“Well then, farewell.”

Hua Yuan raised his hand as a greeting, then turned and left.

Yu Xian watched him leave, shook his head and smiled again, then stood up and, ignoring the shocked expressions of the disciples around him, calmly said, “It’s late today, we’ll practice again tomorrow.”

After saying that, he turned around and went to the inner hall.

As the chief alchemist, he had to sit in the hall for three months straight, so there was naturally a special place for him to rest in the inner palace.

Seeing this, Xiaoyu quickly followed, wanting to serve Yu Xian as he rested, or act as a servant, relaying messages or fetching items, just as she had done for Guo Pin before.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian turned his head and said, “Go about your business, I don’t need you to serve me.”

After saying this, he went into the inner hall.

Xiaoyu watched Yu Xian’s retreating figure with a hint of regret in her eyes. She bit her lip and could only turn and leave.

Yu Xian entered the inner hall, looked around, then walked into a side hall and waved to close the door.

The interior of the hall was simply decorated, with three sticks of incense burning to refresh the mind, and several futons, creating a rich spiritual atmosphere.

Yu Xian sat cross-legged, not cultivating, and took out the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill and began to look at it again.

Meanwhile, outside the gate, a new piece of news quickly spread.

Yu Xian and the Second Holy Son Hua Yuandu are actually friends!

This news sent chills down the spines of countless Foundation Establishment cultivators, while also filling them with a profound sense of relief…

…

The rest of the time was quite leisurely.

Yu Xian spent his days refining pills for the main alchemist, sometimes one pill, sometimes two, and sometimes none.

In the evening, he continued to study the recipe for the Spirit Sword Pill.

Two months passed by in this way without anyone noticing.

Over the past two months, Yu Xian’s reputation has become completely solidified and continues to rise!

The name of Master Alchemist Yu is already known to everyone in the Haotian Sect!

Because in just two short months, Yu Xian has refined the fourth-grade superior and fifth-grade pills that Guo Pin used to take several years or even ten years to refine!

He didn’t know how many Foundation Establishment disciples who had been unable to obtain elixirs in the past had used up their accumulated materials over the years.

His efficiency, the quality of his pills, his willingness not to deliberately make things difficult for others, and his avoidance of asking for favors in a sarcastic or hypocritical manner.

It has moved, impressed, and inspired countless people!

Similarly, Yu Xian also benefited greatly.

Over the past two months, he has come into contact with more fourth-order pills and even fifth-order pill formulas. A wealth of pill-refining experience has filled his path of pill refining, and his alchemy skills are also progressing rapidly.

The most important thing is the recipe for the Spirit Sword Pill.

This formula for pills is increasingly profound the more you look at it. The combination of alchemy and weapon crafting is definitely the philosophy of a powerful master who is also a master weapon crafter!

However, the combination of these two approaches is far too complex.

Therefore, even those powerful individuals who could create sixth- or even seventh-order pill formulas could only create low-grade fifth-order rare pill formulas; they could not create anything higher.

Too complicated, too mysterious, too profound.

The more Yu Xian pondered, the more alarmed and solemn he became.

The prescription seemed acceptable at first glance, but as you read on, it became completely obscure and difficult to understand!

Sometimes he even had to overturn his previous deductions about the refining methods and start from scratch!

It seems I was just bragging about the six months figure…

Perhaps even Hong Shao and Chen Manman had never seen such a prescription before!

It is unknown where Hua Yuandu obtained this elixir formula.

The Spirit Sword Pill… was it created by a powerful figure who combined the arts of swordsmanship, alchemy, and weapon crafting?

…

Another month has passed.

Yu Xian sat in the clinic for three consecutive months, a total of ninety days. If he sat in the clinic for five days each month and rested for twenty-five days, he would have a year and a half of leisure time afterwards.

However, after these three months, he finally understood.

The rules of the alchemy sect state that a master alchemist must sit in the office for five days a month, but in reality, these rules are rigid, while people are flexible.

This is essentially the same thing: if I want to sit in the clinic, I can sit there; if I don’t want to, I don’t have to come!

Of course, you can’t stay away for too long either; it all depends on how you manage it.

At most, Guo Pin only spent a little over a month in a year practicing medicine.

At the lowest point, he didn’t even sit in the clinic once a year!

Even under normal circumstances, he would only be on duty for ten or twenty days a year.

As for the so-called sect rules… Chen Manman and Hongshao didn’t have time to care about those.

You Xiaohua herself rarely sits in the office and has no right to intimidate people with the rules of the sect.

Therefore, it is unheard of for someone like Yu Xian to sit in the clinic for three months in a row.

In addition to his alchemy efficiency, Yu Xian has refined almost all the fourth-grade medium and fourth-grade high-grade pills needed by all the late-stage and peak-stage Foundation Establishment disciples in the past three months!

On this day, Yu Xian finished refining a fourth-grade superior treasure pill, put away the pill furnace, let out a breath, stood up and said: “Today’s pill refining is finished. Fellow Daoists, I will not be sitting in the hall from tomorrow onwards. If there is time in the future, I will sit in the hall again.”

As he spoke, he put the jade bottle containing the pills into his storage bag and tossed it to a late-stage Foundation Establishment disciple in front of him.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators’ expressions changed, and hundreds of them bowed to Yu Xian in unison, saying, “Thank you, Alchemist Yu, for refining pills in your hall for three months! You have helped us in our cultivation!”

Yu Xian has been sitting in the clinic for three consecutive months, so it is only natural that he should stop today.

Yu Xian raised his hand in return and said, “There’s no need for such formalities, everyone. Farewell.”

After saying this, he stepped down from the high platform, left the alchemy hall, and headed towards the mountain peak.

There are still three days of alchemy instruction at Hongshao’s place, I need to go there.

Yu Xian couldn’t guess how high a master alchemist’s skill in alchemy was, but it was certainly beyond his current comprehension.

Even a fifth-grade superior pill is beyond Yu Xian’s reach at this stage.

Not to mention refining the sixth-grade pills that represent the alchemy master.

Upon arriving at the main hall of the sect, Yu Xian bowed and said, “Disciple Yu Xian greets the sect leader.”

“Come in.”

Inside the hall, Hong Shao’s voice followed.

Yu Xian got up, straightened his robes, and stepped inside.

“Come with me.”

Hongshao did not sit on the main seat, but stood there. When she saw Yu Xian enter, she said something indifferently and walked towards the inner hall with her hands behind her back.

Yu Xian immediately followed.

The main hall outside is where Hongshao usually gathers her disciples and relays messages.

The inner hall is where Hongshao usually lives, cultivates, and refines elixirs.

Yu Xian followed Hong Shao through the inner hall and soon arrived at a beautiful garden.

This place is abundant with exotic flowers and rare herbs, with a hundred flowers vying for beauty and various delicate fragrances surrounding it, forming a unique and refreshing aroma that soothes the mind and body. The spiritual energy is also incredibly rich, almost like mist, clearly indicating that there is a separate spiritual vein here.

In the distance, amidst the shadows of flowering trees, Chen Manman was in a pavilion, speaking to You Xiaohua with a serious expression. You Xiaohua listened attentively, nodding repeatedly.

This garden was quite large, covering hundreds of feet. Hong Shao then led Yu Xian to another pavilion, where they could leave Chen Manman in the distance alone.

“Yu Xian, what do you think alchemy is?”

Upon entering the pavilion, Hongshao calmly sat down, looked at Yu Xian standing beside her, and asked indifferently.

What is the Dao of Alchemy?

Yu Xian paused for a moment, then thought carefully and said, “The Dao of Alchemy… is to gather the essence of all things born from heaven and earth, so that they complement each other and can be absorbed by cultivators to the maximum extent, thus enhancing their cultivation.”

“You’re not wrong.”

Hong Shao nodded and said, “The Dao of Alchemy is to condense the essence of heaven and earth and use it to shorten the cultivation time. There was no Dao of Alchemy in ancient times. Spiritual herbs could only be eaten raw, and only a fraction of their medicinal effects could be absorbed. Later, sages and great masters comprehended the properties of all kinds of herbs and assisted each other, eventually achieving the Dao of Alchemy, which was then passed down by countless beings.”

Yu Xian looked at Hong Shao, not understanding why Hong Shao was telling him this.

Hong Shao said slowly, “So the way of alchemy is actually cultivation.”

…

Yu Xian’s brows twitched suddenly, revealing a look of sudden realization. He bowed and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Sect Master. This disciple understands!”

“Um.”

Hong Shao nodded in satisfaction, raised her hand and said, “I’ve observed your alchemy over the past three months. Your foundation is extremely solid. If it were first or second-grade pills, you could probably refine them all to the highest quality. However, while your technique is steady, it still has shortcomings. In particular, you’re too focused on stability, which has caused you to lose your spirituality…”

Yu Xian’s expression hardened, and he listened attentively.

Hongshao began to discuss Dan (a type of medicinal herb), and the knowledge about it was vast and boundless.

Yu Xian listened attentively, as if he were swimming in the sea, absorbing all kinds of knowledge about alchemy.

Ultimately, seeking stability and strictly adhering to the alchemical formula is not inherently wrong.

But what if an alchemist loses his spirituality and runs out of pill formulas in the future?

Without one’s own creativity, ideas, and feelings, even if one is skilled in alchemy, one’s future path is predictable.

The highest level of alchemical formulas in the world is the ninth rank, but what comes after the ninth rank?

Or what if the pill formulas for grades five, six, seven, eight, and nine don’t contain the pill you need?

Then we need to create!

Creativity is the soul of an alchemist! Without the heart to create, one is merely an imitator.

Yu Xian listened attentively and humbly accepted the teachings. Of course, he also had questions and asked them.

Hong Shao wasn’t angry; instead, she looked pleased and answered all her questions one by one.

A disciple with problems is a good disciple.

No problem, they seem to know everything you say. Unless they’re some kind of genius, they’re just pretending to listen, not really learning anything.

Such extraordinary and monstrous talents only exist in fantasy; they don’t exist in reality.

Even the greatest genius has to learn step by step; no one is born with innate knowledge.

Time passed quickly; it seemed as if Yu Xian had only taken a few buckets of water from the ocean of alchemy, and three days had gone by in an instant.

When the three days were up, Hong Shao stopped talking about alchemy, looked at Yu Xian and smiled faintly, “I’ll stop here for now. Go back and reflect on it yourself. Come back in a few months.”

Yu Xian came to his senses and realized that three days was indeed a short time. But when the time was up, he wouldn’t linger. He would wait a while, save up a few days, and then come back to ask for advice.

Therefore, he bowed respectfully and said, “Thank you very much, Sect Master, for imparting the Dao of Alchemy. This disciple will take his leave now.”

“Go.”

Hong Shao nodded slightly and waved her hand.

Yu Xian then took three steps back, turned around, and strode away.

In these three days, he gained a great deal from Hongshao. The alchemy master’s teachings were extraordinary.

Upon returning, Yu Xian will need at least one or two months to absorb, understand, and internalize the principles of alchemy.

After leaving the main hall, Yu Xian descended from the alchemy gate and went straight back to his courtyard. He entered the house, sat cross-legged, and began to meditate without stopping for a moment.

And so, three months passed in the blink of an eye.

In three months, Yu Xian spent a month and a half transforming the alchemy teachings passed down by Hong Shao into his own alchemy.

The remaining time was spent tirelessly studying the formula for the Sword Spirit Pill.

However, six months is simply not enough time, and Yu Xian is helpless about this.

He absolutely cannot attempt to refine pills without fully understanding the formula!

But just halfway through the seventh month, the formation in the courtyard began to stir. Before anyone knew it, Hua Yuan was already standing at his door, knocking and calling for help.

“Why……”

Yu Xian knew he had come to ask for the pill, but he had only comprehended half of the Spirit Sword Pill.

As for the remaining half, Yu Xian didn’t dare to guarantee when he would be able to comprehend it. He had mentioned it to Hua Yuan for half a year before, which was indeed presumptuous of him.

With a sigh, Yu Xian got up, walked out of the main room, and opened the door of the array hall.

Hua Yuandu was standing at the door. When he saw Yu Xian open the door, he immediately smiled and said, “Master Yu, how is it? Is it possible to refine the pill?”

Yu Xian shook his head with a wry smile and said, “To be honest, Fellow Daoist Hua, the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill is truly profound. I have been studying it for several months, but I have only gained three or four parts of the understanding. If I want to fully comprehend it… it will probably take another year or two.”

“ah?”

Hua Yuandu was stunned for a moment, staring at Yu Xian blankly for a long time before finally saying, “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

“this……”

Yu Xian smiled wryly and said, “I never imagined that this pill formula would be so difficult to comprehend. I was too presumptuous in my words. Please forgive me, Fellow Daoist Hua.”

Hua Yuan frowned as he looked at Yu Xian. After a long while, he exhaled and said in a deep voice, “Alright, I’ll trust you one more time. One or two years, that’s two years. After two years, I must get the Spirit Sword Pill and use it to break through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment and make my Sword Pill.”

Yu Xian naturally dared not make any guarantees, but simply nodded and said, “I will do my best.”

“Um!”

Hua Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the disappointment in his eyes, turned around decisively, and quickly walked away.

Breaking through to the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment is not difficult, but for the most perfect breakthrough, the Sword Spirit Pill is extremely important.

He wouldn’t allow his path of cultivation to be imperfect in the slightest, so he preferred to wait!

Seeing Hua Yuandu leave, Yu Xian breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and went back into the house to continue studying the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill.

At this moment, comprehending the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill is no longer about refining pills for Hua Yuandu!

Instead, he must thoroughly understand this elixir formula!

This is his own Daoist philosophy of alchemy!

The art of alchemy is profound, especially the formulas that combine alchemy and weapon crafting, which are even more obscure.

Yu Xian immersed himself in it once again, pondering and comprehending, searching diligently.

Time flies, and two months have passed in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the entire Haotian Sect was suddenly filled with the sound of bells.

The main peak, the gates of all the secondary peaks, and even the outer gate, encompassing an area of ​​hundreds of miles, all heard this enormous bell toll!

At this moment, all the disciples of the Haotian Sect felt a stirring in their hearts!

Especially those cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage or the Great Perfection stage showed expressions of surprise, joy, worry, and anxiety!

The long-awaited Foundation Establishment Competition for the inner disciples of the Haotian Sect is finally about to begin!

This grand competition will select ten disciples from among hundreds of Foundation Establishment disciples, and the entire sect will dedicate its resources to helping them condense their cores and become Golden Core experts!

This is an opportunity for countless Foundation Establishment cultivators who have been struggling to break through the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection realm!

Inside the main room of the small courtyard, Yu Xian was immersed in comprehending the formula for the Spirit Sword Pill when he suddenly heard the tolling of the bell. His brow twitched, and he snapped out of his reverie.

“Is it time…? How fast…”

Looking up, Yu Xian put away the pill formula in his hand and stood up.

In the sect’s Foundation Establishment Competition, the top ten receive preferential treatment in resources, enough to create a Golden Core expert.

And Yu Xian, naturally, also needs these resources!

He was determined to finish in the top ten! This was a decision he made long ago, after learning about this competition.

Stepping out of the courtyard, Yu Xian headed straight for the main peak square.

At the same time, countless disciples also rushed to the main square.

These disciples, those in the late Foundation Establishment stage and those at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment, went to register for the Grand Competition, while the vast majority of those in other realms were just there to watch the show.

Such a grand event, such a competition, might not happen once every few decades or even centuries. It is a grand gathering, how could they let it pass by?

Yu Xian continued forward. Along the way, the cultivators he encountered greeted him respectfully or obsequiously, bowing and scraping. They were no longer the cold-faced, sarcastic, and malicious people they had shown him just a few months ago…

Yu Xian didn’t put on airs, smiled and nodded, while his speed increased, quickly passing through the crowd and arriving at the central square of Haotian Sect.

However, a dozen or so people exuded powerful auras, and two figures stood in the center of the square, their imposing presence even more striking.

The Third Supreme Elder, Sun Liancheng.

Ning’an, the Fifth Supreme Elder’s Residence.

And seventeen powerful individuals at the mid-to-late stages of the Golden Core realm.

Looking at the growing number of disciples gathering around him, Fu Ning’an said slowly, “Today is the Foundation Establishment Competition for the inner sect of Haotian Sect. Although all Foundation Establishment disciples are qualified to participate, I would still like to say that those disciples whose cultivation is not at the late Foundation Establishment stage or above should not waste their time in vain!”

He was straightforward. After all, disciples in the early or middle stages of Foundation Establishment might be able to turn the tide and defeat those in the late or even Great Perfection stages of Foundation Establishment in the wild by using various means.

However, in sect competitions, due to the restrictions of various rules, they basically have no chance of defeating cultivators in the late Foundation Establishment stage or even the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment!

However, it’s hard to say how many early or mid-Foundation Establishment disciples will listen to him.

A sense of luck, or overconfidence, permeates everyone’s heart.

“Alright, let’s begin registration.”

Sun Liancheng remained calm, and seeing that almost everyone had arrived, he waved his hand dismissively.

The seventeen Golden Core experts immediately waved their hands, and each sent out dozens of jade tablets.

“Those who are qualified to participate in the competition will each receive a jade token.”

Fu Ning’an’s voice was calm, yet it resonated in all directions.

Upon seeing this, Yu Xian immediately raised his hand and summoned a jade tablet, which flew into his hand.

Other cultivators at the late Foundation Establishment stage or near completion also quickly waved and put away their jade tokens.

As for cultivators in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment, many couldn’t resist reaching out and taking the jade tokens.

Losing doesn’t matter.

What if you win all the way in?
