After a few cups of spirit wine, Qi Zhiheng inquired about the Heroes Ranking and its specific timing.

Sheng Mingyue then informed her that the competition would be held in a little over a month, and someone should be able to notify her then. However, she believed that no one would specifically inform the newest batch of disciples, as their cultivation levels were simply too low.

Qi Zhiheng felt that his cultivation was sufficient; the problem was his karmic obstacles. So he listed some items, hoping Sheng Mingyue could see if she could get any information from them.

Qi Zhiheng was looking for items with the light attribute and the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Fu Shen Dan.

"I'll keep an eye out for these for you." Sheng Mingyue raised her glass, and the two drank together.

Qi Zhiheng obtained the information he wanted during this visit and then took his leave.

The Cleansing Pills are now available for exchange in the Mission Hall of the Source Academy, but the quantity is limited and they are often snapped up as soon as they are released, so it is not easy to buy one.

Yang Yiqian's aptitude wasn't very good, so she naturally wanted to buy some pills to improve it. However, not only were the quantities from the Mission Hall small, but the quality was also inferior to that of the Qi Family Pill Shop.

Ji Qiuhan had no choice but to find a solution, so on the morning of the beginning of the month, she sent people to stake out the entrance of Qijia Danpu.

Of course, many people did this, so even if you lined up early in the morning, you weren't guaranteed to buy any. Fortunately, this time she didn't leave empty-handed and received news that she could buy the pills. Yang Yiqian didn't even wait for the servants to bring the pills; she couldn't wait to go to the Qi family's pill shop.

The two servants were not highly skilled, and Yang Yiqian was worried that they would be robbed as soon as they left the store. In the end, she and Ji Qiuhan went to collect the pills themselves.

After waiting for a while at the entrance of Qijia Danpu, Yang Yiqian saw two familiar faces.

It was Qi Dong and Yang Yao, who had accompanied Qi Dong to check on the condition of the pill shop.

Because of their improved cultivation, the two looked about ten years younger than they had a few years ago, but Yang Yiqian still recognized them very well, especially Yang Yao's appearance, which she remembered.

Yang Yiqian was very puzzled when she saw the two people. When she heard the waiter in the shop call Qi Dong and Yang Yao "Grandpa" and "Grandma", she was shocked.

How is that possible?

Qi Dong and Yang Yao are the master and mistress of this alchemy shop, so doesn't this alchemy shop belong to the Qi family of Butterfly Stone Town?!

She was taken aback, but didn't show it on her face. She quickly thought through the whole situation.

This alchemy shop is run by Qi Zhiheng and his family. If Qi Dong and Yang Yao from Butterfly Stone Town are also here, then Qi Zhiheng is also Qi Zhiheng from Butterfly Stone Town!

Yang Yiqian's mind was filled with "How is this possible!"

Qi Zhiheng is no longer that fat man weighing several hundred pounds, and Yang Yitian, how did he suddenly awaken his spirit body? This is understandable. Back in the Yang family, Yang Yitian was an idiot, and no one would want to test the spirit body of an idiot, so it's normal that he was ignored.

It's just that Yang Yitian's cultivation level reached the late stage of the Spirit Realm in such a short time, which is truly enviable.

Originally, Yang Yiqian, as a passerby, didn't think much of Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian's achievements. After all, there are so many people who have the ability to change their own destiny, and Qi Zhiheng and Yang Yitian are just one of them.

Now that she knows that the pills Yang Yitian ate, the spirit stones he spent, and the talismans he used should have originally belonged to her, she feels a surge of resentment!

Although Ji Qiuhan's family wields considerable influence in the imperial city, it pales in comparison to the Yuansheng Academy.

It's different with the Qi family. Although the Qi family doesn't have much influence in the capital, they have high-quality pills. Young noble families in the capital are all waiting to buy pills from the Qi family.

If she had married Qi Zhiheng, why would she be queuing up at the door now, fighting with others for elixirs?

Moreover, in terms of appearance and demeanor, Qi Zhiheng is no less than Ji Qiuhan.

The servant who came out after buying the pills interrupted Yang Yiqian's thoughts. No matter how much she was thinking, she dared not show it in front of Ji Qiuhan.

Since she became Ji Qiuhan's fiancée as she wished, the people of Qianshi City have been incredibly envious. Even those who gossip have been silenced by her.

However, the Yang family was not as glamorous as it appeared. The Ji family quickly took control of the Yang family, leaving the Yang family as nothing more than a dependent entity.

Although she had become a disciple of the Yuansheng Academy, she was able to become a disciple of Class A only because of Ji Qiuhan's help. If she displeased Ji Qiuhan, it would be difficult for her to improve her strength further.

Moreover, she genuinely loves Ji Qiuhan, so it's only right for her family to sacrifice for her happiness. With the Ji family around, no other power or family in Qianshi City would dare to challenge the Yang family, which can be considered a win-win situation.

Regardless of what the Yang family members thought, that's how Yang Yiqian felt.

Sheng Mingyue acted quickly; a few days after Qi Zhiheng returned, he received some information.

Some of the medicinal herbs can be obtained within the Yuansheng Academy, but Qi Zhiheng doesn't have the required points.

Sheng Mingyue called the person over and gave him a suggestion: to use the top-grade Cleansing Pill to exchange for points.

Qi Zhiheng agreed to this method. Now, the Cleansing Pill was no longer of much use to him and Yang Yitian, so it would be better to use it to exchange for some things they needed.

So he handed over the top-grade pills he had saved up while refining pills for the pill shop over the past few days to Sheng Mingyue; there were more than a hundred of them in total.

When Sheng Mingyue saw that there were more than a hundred top-grade pills, she almost thought she was seeing things.

Qi Zhiheng said without changing his expression, "They were all stored up before."

Yang Yitian glanced at Qi Zhiheng, thinking, "He really knows how to talk nonsense."

Sheng Mingyue didn't dwell on it any longer. He simply took some of the points to exchange for points, and he also used his own points to exchange for some.

Even after exchanging all the points on his body, he was still reluctant to part with the remaining top-grade pills.

Qi Zhiheng simply paid back the points he owed, and Sheng Mingyue, who had obtained most of the top-grade Cleansing Pills, finally felt relieved. He then took the remaining fifty or so pills to exchange for points with others. Of course, this was done privately; if others knew he had a lot of top-grade Cleansing Pills, he wouldn't be able to get a high price.

Sheng Mingyue used the points she earned to buy the spiritual herbs Qi Zhiheng needed. She used the remaining points to buy a light-attribute Buddhist bead, and then handed all of these over to Qi Zhiheng.

Qi Zhiheng didn't expect to get what he wanted so easily this time. He put the Buddhist prayer beads on his wrist and recited Buddhist scriptures, and the effect was excellent.

After reciting Buddhist scriptures for three days, Qi Zhiheng put on his prayer beads and took the spiritual herb to find Qi Dong.

Zhongfu Shen Dan is a level 5 elixir. Even if Qi Zhiheng wanted to refine it, his spiritual power wouldn't allow it, so he could only seek Qi Dong's help.

"Grandpa." After Qi Dong finished refining the pills, Qi Zhiheng mentioned the Zhongfu Shen Pill to him, saying that Yang Yitian's soul was unstable and he needed to refine the Zhongfu Shen Pill.

The refining of Zhongfu Shen Dan is relatively complicated. Qi Dong tried to refine it but failed to produce a top-grade Zhongfu Shen Dan. Qi Zhiheng could only come up with a compromise: he would refine the impurities while Qi Dong would condense the pill, and the two would cooperate.

Qi Zhiheng even went so far as to consult some books to increase the success rate of pill refining before preparing to refine the next batch of pills.

The grandfather and grandson's collaboration encountered some difficulties along the way. Qi Zhiheng directly instructed Qi Dong to discard half of the medicinal liquid, condensing only five pills. Fortunately, among these five pills was a top-grade Zhongfu Shen Pill.

After Qi Zhiheng obtained the Zhongfu Shen Dan, he handed it to Yang Yitian and had him take it.

After Yang Yitian consumed it, his cultivation level didn't change much. It seemed that his previous level increases were due to accumulated spiritual energy, but this time there was no spiritual energy to accumulate, so he didn't break through directly.

After Yang Yitian's soul is further repaired, his cultivation speed will be even faster.

Yang Yitian was very focused on drawing talismans for the Heroes List, drawing more and more until he was almost filling the space ring that Qi Zhiheng had given him.

Qi Zhiheng looked at him and asked, "Why are you drawing so many talismans?"

Yang Yitian stopped writing, and a flash of spiritual light appeared on the talisman on the table, completing a talisman. He then stored the talisman in his spatial ring and said, "Is there any need to say more? The people on the Heroes Ranking are definitely stronger than those outer court disciples. Otherwise, what if we don't prepare more talismans and get knocked down?"

Qi Zhiheng couldn't bear it, but he still had to tell him the truth: "The Gathering of Heroes doesn't allow the use of elixirs or talismans, and weapons can only be magical artifacts, not magic weapons, so..."

He didn't say what he was going to say next, but Yang Yitian's drawing of so many talismans might not be of any use.

"Why didn't you say so sooner! All those talismans I drew were wasted!" Yang Yitian said with a bitter expression.

Qi Zhiheng felt a little guilty: "You didn't ask." He really thought that Yang Yitian was just cultivating by drawing talismans. After all, he entered the Dao through talismans. He drew talismans one by one, and his cultivation level increased rapidly without meditating.

Yang Yitian was filled with grief and indignation: "You big jerk! Are you trying to get past me and into the Heroes Ranking? I've finally seen through you."

Qi Zhiheng was a little scared, and just then, spiritual energy gathered.

As Yang Yitian remained angry, he discovered that he had broken through the seventh level of Qi Refining and entered the eighth level...

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Qi Zhiheng's heart. Unbeknownst to him, his wife's cultivation level was only one level lower than his? How could he possibly keep her like this! He felt that he should also start cultivating diligently.

He's been so busy with alchemy lately that he hasn't had much time to cultivate. This time, he's going to cultivate properly and try to reach the tenth level of Qi Refining before the Heroes Ranking begins.

Once you reach the tenth level of Qi Refining, you can enter the realm of Spirit Master. Given the abundance of his spiritual energy, it shouldn't be difficult for him to enter the Heroes Ranking.

He glanced at Yang Yitian and instructed him to cultivate diligently and learn more techniques. Qi Zhiheng wasn't worried about whether he could enter the Heroes Ranking, but he was worried about Yang Yitian.
