The pill patterns on the surface of this Heavenly Secret Saint Pill were indeed not complete, and it was still a little short of being a tenth-grade spiritual pill.

This slight difference created a flaw, a defect, and what was originally a perfect elixir was no longer perfect.

“This…this is impossible! This is a elixir that my master risked his life to finally refine. How could it be incomplete! I don’t believe it, I absolutely don’t believe it!” Li Cuicui shook her head repeatedly, and two lines of tears streamed down her face.

Ye Feng looked at Li Cuicui calmly and said, "I'm not slandering your master, but what I said is true. You can tell for yourself by looking at the patterns on the surface of the pill. Can't you tell whether what I said is true or false?"

Li Cuicui shook her head repeatedly, but couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

"Let me see your pill formula," Ye Feng said again.

Li Cuicui hesitated for a while before finally making up her mind, taking out the prescription and handing it to Ye Feng.

Ye Feng picked up the alchemy manual and studied it carefully. Soon after, a slight smile appeared on his face.

"I see. One ingredient is missing. If we can incorporate that ingredient, it might complete the pill," Ye Feng said.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Li Cuicui was extremely shocked.

Chen Heihu was also extremely shocked. He looked at Ye Feng in astonishment and said, "Mr. Ye, how did you know that this prescription was incomplete? And how did you know that a certain medicinal ingredient was missing?"

"Because I already possess the formula for refining the Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill, I can tell whether this formula is complete or not just by looking at it," Ye Feng said with a smile.

In fact, the Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill is a simplified version of the Heavenly Treasure Divine Transcendence Pill.

Although both the Heavenly Secret Saint Pill and the Heavenly Treasure Divine Transcendence Pill are grade ten spiritual pills, there are still differences in quality among grade ten spiritual pills.

The Heavenly Treasure Divine Leap Pill is the pinnacle of tenth-grade spiritual pills, just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to become an immortal pill!

The Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill is far inferior.

Even if Ye Feng completes the Heavenly Mystery Saint-Entering Pill in his hand, it will only just reach the level of a tenth-grade spiritual pill, and it is no match for the Heavenly Treasure Divine Transcendence Pill.

It is precisely because of this that Xi Yao, Sun Muqing, and Jiang Lingxuan were able to become Saints with a 100% success rate by taking the Heavenly Treasure Divine Leap Pill.

If Sun Muqing and the others had taken the Heavenly Treasure Divine Leap Pill instead of the Heavenly Mystery Sainthood Pill, their chances of becoming Saints would not have been 100%, but only 20-30%.

If you're lucky, it might work; if you're a little unlucky, it won't.

This is the difference between the Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill and the Heavenly Treasure Divine Transcendence Pill!

Ye Feng didn't even take the Heavenly Treasure Divine Transcending Pill seriously, let alone the Heavenly Secret Entering Saint Pill.

Ye Feng casually handed the Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill and its formula to Li Cuicui, and said with a smile, "Since this pill was refined by your master, it means that your master is a ninth-grade alchemist and also a transcendent realm expert. Now tell me, who exactly is your master?"

"My master is Baige Liu."

Li Cuicui hesitated for a moment before finally answering.

"So it's the Hundred Boats Stream! No wonder!" Chen Heihu said with a sigh.

"Is the Hundred Boats Stream very famous?" Ye Feng asked curiously.

Chen Heihu immediately explained, "Bai Geliu was once the fifth-ranked alchemist in our Great Xia Kingdom, working for the Danhua Pavilion. However, Bai Geliu's alchemy went wrong, leading to the death of a great figure. As a result, the emperor of the Great Xia Kingdom investigated and prepared to execute Bai Geliu."

"Therefore, Bai Ge fled in fear of punishment and his whereabouts are unknown. Moreover, this happened more than 30 years ago."

Chen Heihu stopped there, because that was all he knew.

Li Cuicui continued, "After my master escaped from Danhua Pavilion, he was hunted down and was seriously injured. Fortunately, he was skilled in alchemy and made himself a Great Concealing Breath Pill to hide his aura. As long as he does not use his martial arts skills or strength, even a Saint Realm expert standing in front of him cannot tell his identity or martial arts strength."

"So my master used this opportunity to escape the pursuit and traveled all the way to Lanling City, where he lived in anonymity. I used to be an orphan in Lanling City. My master adopted me, raised me, taught me martial arts, and also taught me alchemy."

"Unfortunately, my talent is not very good. I have only cultivated to the True Essence Realm after more than 20 years. My alchemy level is only seventh grade."

“My master hid in Lanling City for more than 20 years, but he did leave no trace. In fact, he was discovered by the Ximen family of Lanling City more than 10 years ago. However, Ximen Yue, the head of the Ximen family, did not report this matter. Instead, he covered for my master.”

"However, what I didn't expect was that Ximen Fei's help in hiding my master's whereabouts was not out of kindness at all, but simply because he coveted my master's alchemy skills!"

"Over the past ten years, Ximen Yue has taken away hundreds of kinds of elixirs and pill formulas from my master under various pretexts! What he wants most is my master's Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill and its formula."

"Later...later..."

Li Cuicui started sobbing at this point and couldn't continue.

Even if she hadn't continued, the matter was already quite clear.

Bai Geliu was already seriously injured and had not yet fully recovered. However, he was reluctant to abandon his alchemy skills, so he often practiced alchemy.

Thus, Bai Geliu reached the end of his life. Before his death, he refined an imperfect tenth-grade elixir—the Heavenly Secret Saint Pill—and gave it and the formula to Li Cuicui as his final legacy.

However, the Simon family had been paying close attention to Bai Geliu's every move, so they were very clear about Bai Geliu's final arrangements.

So, as soon as Bai Geliu died, the Ximen family made a move to seize the Heavenly Secret Saint-Entering Pill and its formula from Li Cuicui.

However, the Simon family is an ancient family with a history of over a thousand years, and they cherish their reputation and face very much.

Therefore, the Ximen family did not take action themselves, but instead hired Zhao Yuanlie and others, who were notorious on the black list, to come and rob them!

"Keep the pills and formulas for yourself. Now come with me, and I can protect you," Ye Feng said.

"Really? Thank you so much, senior! I am deeply grateful!"

Li Cuicui kowtowed repeatedly in excitement, but Chen Heihu frowned and transmitted his thoughts to Ye Feng: "Mr. Ye, are you really going to take in Li Cuicui? By doing so, you are undoubtedly standing against the Ximen family, and even against the Great Xia Kingdom."

"You said I'm standing against the Ximen family, which isn't wrong, but what do you mean by standing against the Great Xia Kingdom? I don't understand. Explain it to me," Ye Feng said calmly.

Moreover, Ye Feng didn't use divine sense to transmit his voice; he simply said it aloud, so Li Cuicui heard it too.
