At this moment, Xue Qingge continued, "Refining the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill requires thousands of kinds of spiritual herbs, most of which are extremely rare. It will be extremely difficult for you to collect them, not to mention that it will take a long time. Even if you are lucky enough to collect them all, in the entire cultivation continent, only our Crimson Pill Sect can refine ninth-grade pills. In the end, you will still have to come to our Crimson Pill Sect for help."
"Since that's the case, why not hand over the Nine Emperor Fruit to our Crimson Pill Sect now? Ninth-grade pills are difficult to refine, with an extremely low success rate. I promise, in the name of the Crimson Pill Sect Master, that no matter how many Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pills are successfully refined in the end, I will give you one. What do you say?"
“In that case, I’ll leave the Nine Emperor Fruit to Sect Master Xue.” Mo Xingjue quickly made his decision.
He knew that with Xue Qingge and the elders of the Crimson Pill Sect present, he was destined not to be able to take the Nine Emperor Fruit. Moreover, Xue Qingge's words made sense; since the matter was going to fall on the Crimson Pill Sect anyway, he might as well give it to them now, saving time and effort.
Xue Qingge smiled, "There's no need to ask me for help. I can't refine ninth-grade pills yet. Only our Chidan Sect's ancestor can do it. Refining pills takes a lot of time. Why don't you and your fellow disciples from Fengyang Sect stay at Chidan Sect for a while?"
Mo Xingjue nodded, "Alright."
In the mountains and forests, bolts of lightning struck one after another, scorching the surrounding vegetation and even the central Li Ze.
The cultivator in the distance looked at the heavenly lightning and hesitated, "Is this an advancement to the Golden Core stage?"
"With such immense power, could it really be a Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
"Forget about Golden Core cultivators, we can't beat them."
"Don't even think about it. There are definitely protectors nearby. It's better to stay here and let those who come out of the secret realm be the easy targets."
......
At this moment, Li Ze was unaware that, because of the secret realm, he had escaped several groups of people with ill intentions.
As the thunder subsided and the rain fell, Li Ze's injuries healed rapidly. His charred outer shell peeled away inch by inch, revealing his fair and jade-like skin, which glowed with a warm, luminous light in the forest.
The boy was so beautiful that he seemed otherworldly, more like a captivating spirit from the forest.
"Mid-Foundation Establishment!" Li Ze raised an eyebrow, not expecting that the dense baleful aura would allow him to skip the early Foundation Establishment stage and directly enter the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
This is truly an unexpected delight.
Li Ze stood up, cast a cleansing spell on himself, and then took out clothes from his storage bag to put on.
The next moment, he realized something was wrong; his clothes had shrunk.
He's grown taller!
This is truly a triple celebration!
Li Ze grinned.
In the guest courtyard of the Crimson Pill Sect, the disciples of the Sealed Sun Sect surrounded Mo Xingjue, pestering him to recount the thrilling process of seizing the ninth-grade spiritual fruit.
Mo Xingjue couldn't persuade them otherwise, so he simply said a few words.
"That's it?" The junior brothers and sisters felt unsatisfied.
Mo Xingjue grunted and turned to go back to his room, but the others were not going to let him off the hook. "Senior Brother, tell us more about your relationship with Fellow Daoist He Yu."
Mo Xingjue frowned. "What do I have with him?"
The junior disciples were somewhat disappointed, saying, "We thought he was your Daoist partner."
"No," Mo Xingjue said coldly, his aura turning icy.
He was unhappy.
The junior disciples shuddered, realizing they had inadvertently stepped on their senior brother's landmine. Unable to withstand his cold aura, they all shut their mouths and dispersed, even Liu Haozhi, who was closest to Mo Xingjue, left.
"Didn't you hear what Yu Zhuo said? Senior Brother's Daoist partner is named Li Ze," a disciple whispered.
"Who is Li Ze? I've never heard of him. Does our Fengyang Sect have such a person?"
"No!" a disciple answered decisively. "Senior Brother Mo's Daoist partner must be no ordinary person. If this Li Ze were in our sect, we would definitely have heard of him."
"I don't know who Li Ze is, but I really think Fellow Daoist He Yu is quite good. Fellow Daoist He Yu is good-looking, strong, kind-hearted, and wealthy. He is a good match for our senior brother."
"I also think they are a good match."
......
Two days later, Li Ze had left the territory of the Crimson Pill Sect and was flying towards a city in the distance.
Upon entering the city, Li Ze first went to the Treasure Pavilion and bought three sets of magic robes, three pairs of boots, two high-grade flying swords, a mid-grade alchemy furnace, and spent all 50,000 high-grade spirit stones in one go.
It seems that even if he doesn't need to absorb the spiritual energy from spirit stones to cultivate, he still needs to earn more spirit stones to buy various items.
Spirit stones are used up too quickly!
After leaving the Treasure Pavilion, Li Ze went to the Pill Shop and sold some monster corpses, earning a thousand high-grade spirit stones and a hundred low-grade spirit stones.
Before he could even enjoy the spirit stones he earned from selling monsters, he bought some spirit herbs at the pill shop and spent all the spirit stones he had earned, even losing several hundred mid-grade spirit stones.
Being an alchemist is truly an expensive profession.
