Go to Medicine Valley
Yao Valley is one of the most famous paradises in the Central Region.
The valley is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, and is covered with exotic flowers and plants. The alchemy exchange meeting held once every ten years is held on the natural stone platform in the valley.
At the entrance of the valley, the disciples of Dan Pavilion, wearing uniform Dan robes, were checking the invitations of the participants.
All those who received the invitation were the best in the field of alchemy in Canglan Realm, as well as top sects and families.
Zhong Ling appeared at the entrance of the valley. She was dressed in green and blended into the crowd, inconspicuous.
"Stop! Please show me your invitation." A Dan Pavilion disciple stopped her and glanced at her. Seeing that she was dressed in ordinary clothes and was young, he couldn't help but look at her with scrutiny.
Zhong Ling handed over the invitation given by Gu Xuan.
The disciple took it and looked at it, then bowed hastily, "Oh, it's you, my distinguished guest! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. Please come in!"
His change of attitude attracted the attention of many people around him.
"Huh? That invitation seems to be specially made, different from ours."
"Judging from the disciple's attitude, this woman's identity is not simple."
Just then, a loud voice came from the valley.
"Master Zhong, you are finally here! Gu Xuan has been waiting for you for a long time!"
Gu Xuan, the eighth-grade Grandmaster of Dan Pavilion, came out quickly with a smile on his face.
"Oh my god! It's Master Gu Xuan! He actually came out to greet us personally!"
"Who is this woman? How could she deserve such courtesy from Master Gu Xuan?"
"I seem to have heard of Master Zhong somewhere before. Could he be the Alchemy Master who has recently become famous in the Divine Capital?"
Amid the curious and inquiring gazes of others, Zhong Ling nodded to Gu Xuan and followed him into the depths of the medicine valley.
Gu Xuan led Zhong Ling to the front row of VIP seats, which were prepared for the heads of major sects and alchemy masters.
At this moment, the seats around the stone platform were already full. The leaders, elders, alchemy masters of the major sects in the Canglan Realm, as well as representatives of several of the top families in the Central Region, had all arrived.
"Have you heard? The owner of the pill shop in Shendu City will also be here today."
"I heard that she saved the life of the Xiao family's patriarch! And no matter what kind of elixir that shop owner refines, it is always top-notch!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone around him gasped.
"Hiss—really?"
"Absolutely true! Master Gu Xuan even came personally to invite us with the highest standard invitation from Dan Pavilion, and his attitude was very respectful."
“Bang—”
A melodious bell rang through the valley, and the originally noisy square gradually quieted down.
An old man with white hair and a youthful face, wearing the robe of a Nine Cauldron Alchemist, walked onto the podium.
He is the head of Dan Pavilion, the only ninth-grade alchemist in Canglan Realm, Yao Wuji.
Yao Wuji's eyes swept across the entire audience, and his voice reached everyone's ears: "Welcome all fellow Taoists to participate in this alchemy exchange meeting.
The path of alchemy is a journey that defies destiny, and inheritance is not easy. I hope that we can learn from each other and improve together in this grand event, adding another ray of light to the flame of alchemy in my Canglan Realm."
After Yao Wuji’s brief opening remarks, the exchange meeting officially got down to business.
First, a seventh-grade alchemist from the Lanyue Sect took the stage first and shared her improved version of the Mind-Concentrating Pill, which drew widespread praise.
Afterwards, a wandering alchemy master refined a furnace of the seventh-grade Bi Xin Dan, a top-grade elixir, which glowed with rosy light and won the applause of the whole audience.
The atmosphere gradually became more heated, and finally, it was the turn of Master Gu Xuan from Dan Pavilion.
As a long-established eighth-grade alchemy master, Gu Xuan attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared. Without saying much, he started to refine the elixir directly.
An hour later, the furnace opened and three eighth-grade elixirs, the Golden Pills of Deliverance, shot up into the sky and were put into a jade bottle by him.
"Eighth-grade intermediate level, the Golden Elixir of Deliverance! Master Gu Xuan's alchemy skills have improved again!"
"As expected of an elder of Dan Pavilion, such attainments are beyond the reach of the rest of us."
After Gu Xuan left the stage, several others came on stage to perform. Zhong Ling sat in her seat, occasionally taking a sip from her teacup, looking a little bored.
Gu Xuan looked a little anxious. He had been bragging to the Pavilion Master and several old friends for a long time, saying that Master Zhong would definitely open their eyes today.
But looking at her like this, it seems that she has no intention of going on stage at all.
Finally, after an eighth-grade Grandmaster refined a furnace of top-grade Purple Heart Barrier Breaking Pills, Yao Wuji stroked his beard and smiled, saying, "My fellow Daoists have each demonstrated their strengths, truly opening my eyes. I wonder if any other Daoist would be willing to step up and demonstrate their skills?"
The whole audience was silent. All that needed to be shown had already been shown, and no one dared to go on stage and embarrass themselves after the eighth-grade grandmaster.
At this moment, Zhong Ling put down the teacup, stood up and walked towards the alchemy platform in the center.
"It's her! The Alchemy Immortal from the Divine Capital!"
"I wonder what grade of elixir she can refine?"
Gu Xuan was cheered up when he saw Zhong Ling coming on stage, and curiosity also flashed in Yao Wuji's eyes.
Zhong Ling walked onto the stage, looked around, and then said:
"I'll refine a ninth-grade elixir to help liven up this event."
When these words came out, everyone thought they had heard it wrong: "What? Ninth-grade elixir? Did I hear it right?"
"Is she crazy?! Apart from the Dan Pavilion Master, no one has succeeded in refining it in tens of thousands of years!"
"Grandstanding! What a joke! Does she think ninth-grade elixirs are worth cabbage?"
Zhong Ling automatically blocked out the discussions from the audience. With a wave of her hand, the glazed cauldron landed in the center of the stone platform. Then she snapped her fingers, and a cluster of golden flames fell under the cauldron.
The sun is so hot!
Yao Wuji obviously recognized the origin of the fire and leaned forward slightly. The expressions of the other top experts present also changed instantly.
That is the legendary sun fire that can burn everything!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, Zhong Ling made another move.
She waved her hand casually, and spiritual plants hung above the alchemy cauldron.
"That's...Nine-Leaf Dragon Ganoderma!"
"Oh my god, there's also Immortal Phoenix Blood Grass! Ten Thousand Year Blood Jade Ginseng!"
"These... these are the main ingredients for refining ninth-grade elixirs. How could she have so many?"
There was an uproar in the audience, and many people stood up, breathing rapidly.
Zhong Lingsu raised her hand lightly, and the spiritual plant was thrown into the alchemy cauldron.
"This pill is called the Pill of Breaking Evil and Ascending to Immortality."
Elixir of Immortality!!!
The legendary ninth-grade divine elixir that can help monks who have overcome tribulations to ascend to heaven!
Taking this magical pill can help cultivators in the tribulation period resist inner demons, withstand heavenly tribulations, and increase the chance of ascension by 30%!
Crazy! She must be crazy!
Throughout the history of the Canglan Realm, it was clearly recorded that only the first and current Pavilion Masters of the Dan Pavilion, Yao Wuji, could refine ninth-grade elixirs! How dare this young woman, whose origins were unknown, make such boasts in public?!
Yao Wuji could no longer sit still at this moment. He took a step forward and instantly appeared at the edge of the stone platform, his eyes fixed on Zhong Ling's every move.
Two hours later, the spiritual energy of the entire medicine valley was rioting wildly, forming a huge spiritual energy vortex, which poured back into the glass cauldron.
