Tu Longjian stopped refusing and accepted it readily.

Before leaving with Peng Nana, she gave the male cultivator in blue who delivered the message another spirit stone, which made the cultivator quite happy.

The two walked away, their figures disappearing from sight as the yellow-robed female cultivator and the green-robed male cultivator were about to start fighting.

"You're really something, aren't you? That way, the spirit stones given by the fairy won't be mine alone." The female cultivator in yellow said sarcastically.

"Hehe, don't be angry, Senior Sister. It's my honor to serve the fairy. I didn't expect her to be so generous." The male cultivator in blue robes looked satisfied.

"If only she would like me." (gesturing with fingers)

The woman in yellow spat and grabbed his ear: "You? Go water the plants right now."

"A treacherous and cunning scoundrel!"

"Ouch, ouch, senior sister, have mercy! I'll go right away..."

----------------

Tu Longjian followed Peng Nana to the alchemy room, where he was greeted by a rich and fragrant aroma of elixirs, filling the room with a refreshing and pleasant scent.

She was secretly shocked. Was this the strength of a high-level purple-grade alchemist? The aroma of the pills was extremely rich.

To be honest, she only has theoretical knowledge and has never actually refined pills. I wonder if she will have the opportunity to try it today.

Peng Nana quietly opened the door and called Tu Longjian to come in together.

She pressed her index finger to her lips and whispered, "My mother is refining elixirs. Let's go in quietly and not disturb her."

Tu Longjian was also curious about what it looked like for cultivators to refine pills, so the two of them sneaked in.

A middle-aged female cultist was seen concentrating intently on refining elixirs; her features bore a striking resemblance to those of Peng Nana.

She opened her arms wide, and two solidified red spiritual energies condensed in her palms, resisting the two streams of medicinal liquid in the alchemy furnace.

One was a blue medicinal liquid, and the other was a red medicinal liquid. The two did not mix. Even in the ultra-high temperature of the alchemy furnace, they still resisted each other and refused to merge. In fact, they became more and more stubborn, causing the alchemical fire to burn even brighter.

The heat hit them in the face, almost scorching the two people watching nearby.

Tu Longjian reacted quickly, pulling Peng Nana aside to avoid the flames.

The middle-aged female cultivator was focused intently; without even looking behind her, she knew who had dared to barge in. Her tone was authoritative yet tinged with a hint of helplessness:

"Pong Nana! You haven't even reached the Foundation Establishment stage yet. This alchemy furnace chamber is dangerous. Why did you come in again!"

"I told you to learn alchemy, but you refused and now you want to steal my pills? You're utterly incorrigible!"

Peng Nana was shocked that her mother exposed her shortcomings in public. She retorted, "Mother! Chunxiang is here too, so please don't speak ill of me!"

The middle-aged female cultivator exclaimed in surprise, but stopped bringing up Peng Nana's shortcomings. Refining pills was too mentally taxing, and she hadn't even noticed that the top freshman was also there.

Her tone softened considerably as she greeted those behind her:

"Please forgive me, young friend Chun. Nana really doesn't know how to choose her timing. I'm currently trying to refine the Water and Fire Yin-Yang Pill and can't stop. Please wait a moment."

Tu Longjian smiled and said, "Disciple greets Elder."

"It's alright, it's just that I came at the wrong time, don't blame Nana."

"However, it is also a matter of fate. I have only learned about alchemy from books, and it is my good fortune to be able to see the alchemy process of a high-level alchemist."

"Hahaha, Nana is right. You really are a good kid. It's rare to see her approve of someone so much. She's praised you to me so many times, which is why I had the idea to meet you..."

Elder Peng spoke with a smile.

Poonana coughed, looking somewhat awkward.

Tu Longjian glanced at Peng Nana's slightly flushed face and changed the subject.

"I've never seen Elder Peng's pills in any pill-making books. How can materials with two different elemental properties, water and fire, be combined together?"

Elder Peng sighed and replied, "This is an ancient gold-grade pill formula. I have been trying to break through to become a gold-grade top-level alchemist, so I wanted to give it a try."

"It goes against the common sense of alchemy, and it is indeed quite difficult."

Tu Longjian nodded, remaining silent as he watched the middle-aged female cultivator's fluid movements.

Water and fire are incompatible, and the two source liquids collided even more violently under the fierce pill fire, showing a sense of impending doom.

Tu Longjian thought to himself, if this continues, the furnace might explode.

She grabbed Poonana's arm and led her to the door, ready to escape with her at any moment.

Elder Peng is a Golden Core cultivator, so he should be fine. However, since one of them is at the Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Qi Refining stage, it's still best to be cautious.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when, sure enough, the alchemy furnace cracked slightly, and the water and fire source liquids surged wildly, as if it were about to explode!

"Not good!" the middle-aged cultivator exclaimed, channeling more spiritual energy to suppress the two clashing forces.

Tu Longjian quickly pulled Peng Nana outside the door. Peng Nana broke free and anxiously ran to find the peak master or other elders to suppress the attack together.

Tu Longjian, fearing unforeseen circumstances, remained where she was. She had already planted the Qingfeng Hanshuang flag, securing herself and preparing to escape at any moment.

Seeing the water and fire energies colliding violently, a flash of inspiration struck her.

Water and fire are incompatible, but what if water contains fire?

Water can lower the temperature of the outer flame of a fire and isolate it from oxygen, making it weak.

Meanwhile, the fire is inside, posing a constant threat of the water evaporating due to the high temperature.

If we can find a balance between the two, we might be able to achieve a stable state!

Since the oven is about to explode anyway, there's no harm in giving it a try!

Tu Longjian shouted to Elder Peng, "Elder Peng, try water enveloping fire! Use water to wrap around fire and achieve a balance between the two!"

Hearing her words, Elder Peng decided to give it a shot, and decisively wrapped the red fire spirit liquid with the blue water spirit liquid.

The menacing fire-elemental liquid was suddenly doused with cold water, trapped in the water prison, unable to escape, and its arrogance vanished.

The water spirit liquid, scorched by the fire spirit liquid, fearfully and tightly enveloped the enemy, lest even a wisp of flame escape.

The two opposing spiritual liquids miraculously stabilized, and the alchemy furnace stopped roaring.

Bang—a strange fragrance wafted out.

"The elixir is complete?!"

"Hahahaha, from now on I am a top-level alchemist!"

"Thank you so much, young friend Chun! I'm so grateful for your help!"

Elder Peng gazed at the gleaming Water and Fire Yin-Yang Pill in his hand, overjoyed.

A transparent scene appeared above the Water and Fire Yin-Yang Pill, with rippling water and fiery red clouds, a natural phenomenon formed by a high-level pill.

"Hahaha, congratulations Junior Sister Peng on your promotion to Gold-grade Alchemist." Upon hearing the commotion, the Peak Master of Danfeng immediately cupped his hands in congratulations, his face beaming with joy.

In today's world, top-tier gold-grade alchemists are hard to find. The emergence of two top-tier gold-grade alchemists within the Guanqing Sect undoubtedly strengthens the sect's power.

Top-tier alchemists can provide more high-grade pills, greatly enhancing the strength of the sect's disciples.

At the same time, high-level pills can be auctioned off or exchanged for other resources, creating a virtuous cycle.

"Junior sister can begin her seclusion now, preparing to refine the unique natal pill of a gold-grade alchemist. At that time, it will not only be able to unleash a powerful attack, but also save lives in times of crisis."

"I am a peak master," Danfeng Peak Master said with a smile, patting Elder Peng's shoulder forcefully.
