The main story briefly describes the cultivation journey of the protagonist Ye Suixin and the female lead Ye Xiyun.
The ...
At this moment, Zhao Yingtian arrived outside the main peak with Suixin and Xiyun. Lingrui had already left yesterday.
The three stood outside the main peak, separated from each other by a transparent barrier.
"Zhao Yingtian of the Medicine Pavilion requests an audience with Elder Liang Jing," Zhao Yingtian announced, bowing respectfully.
A short while later, a passage more than two meters wide appeared in front of them, and the three of them hurriedly walked into the main peak.
Upon entering, they were greeted by majestic, towering mountains; a sense of awe and grandeur arose in their minds, making it difficult for Sui Xin and Xi Yun to walk. Seeing this, Zhao Yingtian quickly conjured a protective light shield for the two of them. He then led them toward a grand hall ahead.
The interior of the hall was decorated in a simple and elegant style, with three red chairs placed at the top. Liang Jing and Zheng Qiao sat on the chairs on either side, their eyes fixed on the distance, their gazes deep and thoughtful.
They are probably still thinking about the details of yesterday's cooperation between the two groups.
"What brings you here, Pavilion Master Zhao?" Liang Jing asked first as she looked at the three people who had entered.
"Elder Zheng, I have brought my disciples Ye Suixin and Ye Xiyun here; we have a favor to ask."
"Oh? Sui Xin woke up?" Zheng Qiao also became interested.
He had a very good impression of these two young disciples. One was willing to risk his life to save someone, and the other was willing to exchange blood for medicine; their deep affection and loyalty were rare in this world.
"Yes, I was lucky to wake up. I owe it all to the care of the sect and the help of Senior Liang," Sui Xin said as she bowed to Liang Jing.
Liang Jing smiled faintly and waved her hand, "It's just that you weren't meant to die; I only did a small favor."
"So, what brings you here today?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yingtian immediately spoke up, "Suixin and Xiyun are exceptionally talented, and I feel they shouldn't be wasted here. So I wanted them to enter the Seventh Peak for cultivation, but unfortunately, the Seventh Peak isn't accepting anyone right now. So I'd like to find a compromise."
"Oh? Tell me about it."
Zhao Yingtian continued, "I will be their full-time teacher, but the rest of the curriculum will be the same as that of the Seventh Peak disciples, including participation in rankings and competitions. If they fail to make it into the top twenty after one year, they will be immediately removed from the competition."
Zheng Qiao nodded, but then turned to Sui Xin and Xi Yun and asked, "It sounds good, but the rules are clear: only those who are exceptionally talented are qualified to be given special training by the sect. Do they have that qualification?"
Zhao Yingtian looked at the two of them and slowly said, "Now it's your turn."
The two exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and took half a meter forward.
Sui Xin spoke first: "Seniors, I am now at the first level of True Spirit. Although my cultivation is somewhat weak, my spiritual energy is no less than that of a fifth-level cultivator." After speaking, a thick spiritual energy surged from his body and rushed towards the two above him.
Zheng Qiao sensed the amount of spiritual energy with his hand, nodded slightly, and said, "Continue."
"Moreover, my spiritual fire has an extremely high temperature, making it an excellent material for alchemy."
With a "whoosh," the spiritual energy that was spreading towards Zhengqiao suddenly emitted an extremely high temperature, and a cluster of bright red flames emerged.
Zheng Qiao's eyes widened. The spiritual fire of ordinary cultivators was very weak in terms of both temperature and power, not much stronger than a real open flame.
Therefore, alchemy and medicine refining generally require the consumption of spiritual energy to increase the temperature of the flame. To have a flame like the one before us, it is basically only possible to conjure it using special techniques, which also consumes a lot of spiritual energy.
However, the spiritual fire before them was on a completely different level. Not only did it consume far less energy than others, but its effects were also surprisingly good.
“Excellent,” Zheng Qiao exclaimed.
Zhao Yingtian was also somewhat surprised, thinking to himself: Only one day has passed, and the temperature of the flames has increased considerably. It seems that Ye Hao and the others have taught him something.
"And how are your alchemy or weapon crafting skills?" Zheng Qiao couldn't help but ask, "This flame is truly a promising talent for alchemy and weapon crafting."
“Elder Zheng and Elder Zhao, let me address this issue,” Zhao Yingtian said, fearing that Ye Suixin’s words might be too shocking and the two elders wouldn’t believe him.
"Five years ago, Sui Xin learned the Wuwei alchemy method. After practicing for only one month, the alchemy success rate reached 90%."
Moreover, he could remember the changes in medicinal materials each time he refined pills, and created several minor pill formulas; in addition, he also subdued the Mountain and River Furnace.
Thinking back to Ye Suixin's achievements a few years ago, he himself found it somewhat unbelievable.
Upon hearing this, Liang Jing immediately stood up, feeling incredulous. "What? You mean it?"
She was an expert in alchemy, extremely knowledgeable about it. It would be quite impressive if she could refine a first-grade pill in just one month, but her young disciple had achieved a success rate of 90%—truly heaven-defying!
Moreover, creating one's own pill formula is incredibly difficult, as only those who have experienced it know. Using the method of non-action, one would probably need to refine the same pill ten times before remembering the changes in the herbs. Although the first level is relatively simple, it is still not something a novice disciple can do.
Finally, there's the Mountain and River Furnace. She had visited the furnace burial site when she was weak, but the alchemy furnace she obtained was far inferior to the Mountain and River Furnace.
Zhao Yingtian smiled apologetically, "Elder, you may not believe it, but it's all true." As he spoke, he waved slightly to Suixin, who understood and took out the Mountain and River Furnace.
Zhao Yingtian did not conceal the aura of the furnace; a delicate fragrance wafted out, mixed with a faint golden light, making it exceptionally extraordinary.
Upon seeing this, Liang Jing couldn't help but praise, "Good lad, you really are a master of the Mountain and River Furnace!"
Seeing Zhao Yingtian's questioning gaze, Liang Jing responded first, "Don't worry, he passed." She thought to herself, "Such an outstanding alchemy disciple, you probably can't find anyone else in the sect."
Xi Yun stepped forward, just about to speak.
Zheng Qiao waved his hand, "As for Xi Yun, there's no need to look at her. We already know her situation, so there's no need to say more. She's approved."
Zhao Yingtian was taken aback and asked, "The elder knows about that matter?"
Zheng Qiao spoke seriously, "Yes, we only found out a couple of days ago. This matter must be kept secret; it absolutely cannot be spread."
Zhao Yingtian didn't ask any more questions and nodded slowly.
The group then discussed at length the training of Sui Xin and the other two. The two elders above exerted increasing pressure, which ultimately resulted in this:
Sui Xin and Xi Yun can cultivate at the Seventh Peak, and their credits and points will be counted in the ranking.
A year later, Ye Suixin needs to become at least a third-grade alchemist, and Xi Yun needs to cultivate to at least the ninth level, and both need to be in the top five in the points ranking to avoid having to quit.
Sui Xin and Xi Yun were also quite overwhelmed and felt a lot of pressure.
After stating his requirements for Ye Suixin and the other person, Zhao Yingtian led them away, leaving Zheng Qiao and Liang Jing sitting in the hall.
“They are all exceptional talents, worthy of being pillars of society,” Zheng Qiao said.
......
After flying for a while, Zhao Yingtian spoke to the two, saying, "It's clear that the sect has high expectations for you. Don't let them down."
Sui Xin and Xi Yun nodded without saying anything more.
During the flight, Zhao Yingtian talked a lot, but he didn't ask Ye Suixin what Ye Hao had taught him that morning. Some things might be secrets passed down from someone else, and it wasn't appropriate for him to ask.
What does it matter as long as the disciple makes progress?
