After Jiang Huaixu finished planting the spiritual plant in his hand, he looked up and wiped the fine sweat from his forehead. Suddenly, a slender white figure appeared in front of him not far away. He was slightly taken aback. "Uncle-Master Lu, what brings you here?"

At the same time, Jiang Xiaxia and Yu Xiaopang paused upon hearing this, and immediately reacted by bowing respectfully to Lu Fuyue.

"Disciple greets Martial Uncle Lu."

Lu Fuyue nodded. "How long have you been in the Tianxuan Sect?"

Jiang Huaixu lowered his head and furrowed his brows. "Reporting to my uncle, we disciples entered the sect five years ago."

Lu Fuyue pondered for a moment, "Then would you be willing to stay on Alchemy Peak and follow me to learn alchemy?"

The group was startled. "Uncle-Master, are you sure you're talking about us?"

Lu Fuyue looked up at the group and said, "Not bad."

Jiang Huaixu tightened his grip on his side, lowered his eyes, and remained silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

Jiang Xiaxia, who was initially very excited, saw her brother's expression and a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes. She felt that her brother seemed reluctant...

Yu Xiaopang also noticed that something was wrong with Jiang Huaixu, so the excitement in his eyes slowly faded.

"Brother Jiang, you..."

Lu Fuyue's eyes flickered slightly. She never liked to force others, so if he was unwilling, then so be it.

But at that moment, Jiang Huaixu suddenly looked up at Lu Fuyue and said, "Uncle Lu, I am willing."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaxia and Yu Xiaopang breathed a sigh of relief. The three of them had been through life and death together and had agreed to stand together through thick and thin.

It's true that they want to become inner disciples, but if one of them is unwilling, then the other two will also be unwilling.

Fortunately, everyone was willing.

"Uncle-Master Lu, the three of us will certainly not let you down."

Although Lu Fuyue didn't know why Jiang Huaixu had changed his mind, she didn't want to pry into it since he was willing.

"When I came here that day, you probably guessed who I was. Now, my master is in seclusion for an unknown period of time, and the Alchemy Peak is becoming increasingly deserted as a result."

"The Alchemy Peak is the culmination of Master's efforts over the years. I don't want to see it become like this, so I want to teach the three of you alchemy techniques and make you the inner disciples of the Alchemy Peak so that you can protect it well."

Jiang Xiaxia and Yu Xiaopang's eyes lit up. An inner disciple?

They were actually able to become inner disciples, even though the Alchemy Peak was no longer of any value in the eyes of outsiders.

But now that Uncle Lu has returned, even if the Alchemy Peak is not good, it can't be that bad.

After all, not only is Martial Aunt Lu of extraordinary status, but her cultivation talent is also exceptional. If she says that Alchemy Peak will not decline, then Alchemy Peak will definitely not decline.

Jiang Huaixu's gaze slowly fell on Lu Fuyue, "Does Martial Uncle want to take us as disciples?"

Lu Fuyue shook her head. "No, I'm teaching you alchemy as your senior sister."

In the cultivation world, although one can take on disciples once their cultivation reaches the Golden Core stage, Lu Fuyue had no such intention. After all, she might die one day, and taking on disciples would only be a burden on others. Besides, she preferred quiet, and taking on disciples was too troublesome.

A hint of joy flashed in Jiang Huaixu's eyes, "Is what my martial uncle said true?"

Jiang Xiaxia and Fatty Yu were equally shocked. They never expected that they, as menial disciples with mixed spiritual roots, would have such good luck and become the 128th generation inner disciple of Tianxuan Sect.

Lu Fuyue pursed her lips. "Of course."

In the following days, Lu Fuyue taught the three some basic knowledge about alchemy, and then went to the auction house to give each of them an alchemy furnace.

Before deciding to teach these three people, she had already thoroughly vetted them.

Both Yu Xiaopang and Jiang Xiaxia have fire spirit roots, although the purity of their spirit roots is only 50%. Fortunately, Lu Fuyue gave each of them a Marrow Cleansing Pill and a spiritual herb that can improve the purity of their spirit roots.

Although Lu Fuyue gave them these things, they weren't given away for nothing.

Having received the cultivation resources from Lu Fuyue, they must safeguard the Alchemy Peak. Even if they don't make it great, at least when she's gone and their master emerges from seclusion, the Alchemy Peak should still be intact.

However, to Lu Fuyue's greatest surprise, Jiang Huaixu's talent for alchemy was quite remarkable. Among the three, he was the most diligent in his alchemy studies and also had the best talent.

Especially after his hidden injuries were removed, his fire spirit root reached the superior grade, and his cultivation at the second level of Qi Refining also showed signs of loosening.

Soon, Jiang Huaixu memorized all the knowledge about pills in the Complete Book of Alchemy, and was even able to apply it to other situations. Although he could not compare with Lu Fuyue back then, his talent was still extremely rare.

After Lu Fuyue moved to the Alchemy Peak, the fact that she and Elder Dan were master and disciple gradually spread throughout the entire Tianxuan Sect.

Many disciples were shocked that Lu Fuyue was actually Elder Dan's disciple.

Some of the older disciples knew that Elder Dan had an extraordinary background, profound cultivation, and was one of the few fifth-grade alchemy masters in the cultivation world.

Originally, the Tianxuan Sect did not have a Pill Refining Peak; the Pill Refining Peak came into existence because of his arrival.

Before Elder Dan arrived, the Tianxuan Sect never lacked pills or alchemists, since the Pill Sect was an affiliated sect of the Tianxuan Sect.

However, Elder Dan, who never accepted disciples, had already taken Lu Fuyue as his disciple.

Suddenly, a strange phenomenon appeared on the other side of the Alchemy Peak, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the Tianxuan Sect.

"Look, that's... a phenomenon indicating the formation of a elixir?"

"How could that be? Elder Dan has already gone into seclusion, hasn't he?"

...

Inside the main hall,

Lu Zhengming was dealing with sect affairs. After finishing everything, he looked at a bowl of spiritual food on the table and his expression softened slightly.

His affection for Ruan Ruan was not without reason; in this vast Tianxuan Sect, she was the only one who cared about him.

They are all his own flesh and blood, but Fuyue is not as well-behaved and sensible as Ruanruan. Now she doesn't even call him "father" anymore.

After that girl returned, she kicked Ruan Ruan out and moved to the Alchemy Peak without saying a word.

It was only then that he learned that she had actually become Dan Bucheng's disciple.

Thinking of this, Lu Zhengming's dislike for her deepened.

Suddenly, he paused, sensing the commotion coming from the Alchemy Peak, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Could it be that the failed alchemy attempt has ended?

Lu Zhengming rushed there immediately. At this moment, the sky above the Alchemy Peak was filled with thunderclouds, clearly indicating the appearance of a fifth-grade elixir in the world.

No, that's impossible. Once you reach the stage where you can't form the elixir, it would take at least a hundred years to emerge from seclusion.

Could it be... her?

Lu Zhengming was stunned by this idea. How could this be? She was so young, how could she possibly refine pills of such a high grade?
