Yunhai laughed and said, "How dare I! The Wuwei Sect only won this time by luck, thanks to our inferior disciple! Our cultivation is just average! Brother, you've come to watch the battle, aren't you just going to see me make a fool of myself!"
The gatekeeper chuckled, "Sect Leader Yun is too modest! I'll go and inform him right away; the master happens to be at his residence today!"
After a moment, the gatekeeper came out and said, "Sect Leader Yun! My master requests your presence in the backyard! Please follow me!"
Yunhai hurriedly led more than ten disciples of the Wuwei Sect to the inner courtyard!
There stood an old gentleman with an air of otherworldly wisdom, his hands clasped behind his back. He was drinking wine and admiring the moon by the lotus pond!
"Sect Leader Yun has come from afar! May I ask what brings you here?"
Yunhai hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Senior Liu! This junior, Yunhai, along with my disciples, happened to be passing through your esteemed place today! We have come to pay our respects!"
Liu Biao picked up the three-cannon teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "Sect Leader Yun is too kind! The former Valley Master Li is also here! I'm afraid you have other business with me today!"
Yunhai laughed and said, "You can't hide anything from your discerning eyes, senior! I have indeed come here today to ask you for a favor! Since you, senior Liu, know Brother Xunhuan, let Xunhuan do the talking!"
Li Xunhuan said calmly, "There is no longer a Valley Master Li! I have joined the Wuwu Sect and am now the Vice Sect Master! Senior Liu, it's been a long time!"
Liu Biao laughed and said, "It doesn't matter which sect you go to! We are both alchemists! It's just that very few people in the world know that you, Li Xunhuan, can make medicine!"
Upon hearing this, even Yunhai was taken aback!
Who knew Li Xunhuan was also an alchemist!
Li Xunhuan said, "Senior Liu! I have come here to ask you to refine a batch of third-order Marrow Cleansing Golden Pills!"
Liu Biao's expression changed, and he said, "Brother Li! Aren't you making things difficult for me? I have the recipe for the third-order Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill! But the refining process is extremely complicated! It requires extremely strong soul power! You know I can't refine it, yet you still want to embarrass me!"
Li Xunhuan shook his head and said, "Senior Liu! In the alchemy world, I am considered your junior! How could I dare to deliberately make things difficult for you! It's just that many elders and disciples of the Wuwei Sect have been stuck at the Core Formation stage for a long time and their cultivation has not progressed at all! I have always wanted to refine a batch of Marrow Cleansing Golden Pills to help them break through their bottlenecks! If Senior Liu is willing, I would like to ask Senior Liu to jointly refine this batch of Marrow Cleansing Golden Pills! How about we split the pills in half?"
Liu Biao shook his head and said, "Refining the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill will take at least ten days to half a month! You and I have never refined pills together before! Even close cooperation would require a month or two of practice! It takes far too long!"
"Senior Liu! Although the refining process will take a long time, if we work together to refine the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill, we can gain a great deal of experience!"
Liu Biao sneered, "Brother Li! Are you trying to teach me how to do things? My mind is made up! I will never join forces with you to refine pills! You may leave! I won't see you off!"
Liu Biao was a top-tier alchemist in the Three Rings Continent! If he were to join forces with Li Xunhuan to refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill, and they succeeded, people would say Li Xunhuan also deserved credit! If they failed, people would say Liu Biao was incompetent! Public opinion can be devastating! Liu Biao was extremely concerned about his reputation, so naturally he would never agree to join forces with someone else to refine pills!
Li Xunhuan was unwilling to give up and wanted to try to persuade him further!
Liu Biao's expression changed, and he said, "Boy! Show the guest out!"
At this moment, a boy wearing a crane hat said, "Please go back, everyone!"
Lin Caogen said indignantly, "Sect Master! He's unwilling to join forces with you to refine pills! I'll join forces with you! It's better to rely on yourself than to ask others for help! Why let others hold you by the throat!"
Li Xunhuan was also angry and said, "Grassroots! With you here, we'll definitely be able to refine a large number of Marrow Cleansing Pills in three to five years! Let's go!"
After saying this, Li Xunhuan led everyone to leave the Liu residence!
"Halt! Li Xunhuan! Have you come here to insult me? A mere disciple at the peak of the 9th level of Body Refinement dares to boast that he can refine the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill within three to five years! I have 700 years of experience in alchemy since I started learning! I still dare not say that I can refine the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill! Li Xunhuan, you and your disciple are far too arrogant!"
Li Xunhuan laughed and said, "Senior Liu! There are countless talented people in the world, like fish in the Milky Way! My disciple Lin Caogen is young, but he has amazing potential! I believe that within five years, he will be able to refine the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill!"
"What a joke, what a huge joke! If that's how you put it, I can't just let you go like this! Lin Caogen, is that the young man who won first place in the Top 100 Sects Battle? I'd like to see how much skill you have to refine the Marrow Cleansing Golden Pill in the future!"
