Alchemy Peak
Jiang Huaixu and the others stood guard outside the alchemy room, all watching in shock as the tribulation clouds above grew increasingly dense.
Jiang Xiaxia's eyes widened. "Brother, Senior Sister...she refined a fifth-grade pill?"
Jiang Huaixu was silent for a moment, then nodded.
Over the past few days, he had already gained some understanding of alchemy. Judging from the fierce thunder tribulation in the sky today, he estimated that she was probably refining a fifth-grade pill.
"But... but Senior Sister is only at the Golden Core stage, and besides, she has only been practicing alchemy for a short ten or twenty years. How did she become a fifth-grade alchemist?"
Yu Xiaopang: "You don't understand, do you? Senior sister is a genius, and geniuses can't be judged by ordinary standards."
Jiang Xiaxia: "...That makes sense."
Such talent is probably unique in the entire cultivation world.
Jiang Huaixu's gaze remained fixed on the alchemy room. His senior sister's commotion today was sure to attract everyone's attention.
He knew that his senior sister didn't want the Alchemy Peak to become increasingly deserted, but sometimes being too prominent wasn't a good thing either.
However, he was unable to help his senior sister.
Jiang Huaixu lowered his eyes, concealing all the emotions swirling within them, and his hands unconsciously tightened again and again.
The commotion at the Alchemy Peak not only shocked the disciples but also alarmed most of the elders of the Heavenly Profound Sect.
They all rushed towards the Alchemy Peak. At this moment, countless dark clouds gathered above the Alchemy Peak, and golden lightning flashed incessantly, as if accumulating power, waiting for the pill to be born so that it could strike down immediately.
As soon as Lu Zhengming arrived, he saw the law enforcement elder not far away, and the law enforcement elder also noticed him.
"Sect Master, you've arrived."
Lu Zhengming nodded at him, then asked hesitantly, "Who is the person inside refining pills?"
The elder in charge of law enforcement shook his head. "I just arrived too."
Suddenly, a strange voice came from inside, "I heard that the person inside is Lu Fuyue, who has already perished."
"She broke through to the Golden Core stage so quickly in such a short time and successfully refined a fifth-grade pill. Could she have been possessed?"
The law enforcement elder didn't even need to look to know who this person was. Who else could it be but Qian Tianjin, the peak master of the Talisman Peak who had repeatedly targeted Fuyue?
He was the one who almost caused Fu Yue's death during the sect's grand competition back then.
When the news of Fu Yue's death came, he even laughed in front of him.
Now that Fu Yue has not only returned safely, but her cultivation has also advanced by leaps and bounds, breaking through to the Golden Core stage. Qian Tianjin must hate her even more now.
The enforcement elder gave him a cold look. "Elder Qian, I, the enforcement elder, am not dead yet, and you're already in a hurry to seize power from me?"
Having served as an enforcement elder in the Tianxuan Sect for so many years, how could he not know whether someone had been possessed? Besides, he had watched that girl grow up; how could he possibly be mistaken?
Qian Tianjin is clearly treating him like a fool!
Qian Tianjin's fake smile froze, and he instantly fell silent.
He forgot that this old guy was in cahoots with Lu Fuyue.
Lu Zhengming, who was not far away, did not notice the tension between the law enforcement elder and Qian Tianjin.
He was looking at the alchemy room with a complicated expression. If he wasn't mistaken, the person refining the pills this time was Fu Yue.
The other elders came to his side and flattered him, saying, "Sect Master is truly blessed to have such a capable daughter."
However, Lu Zhengming just smiled and didn't know how to answer.
After all, he had never been close to this daughter.
...
Inside the alchemy room at this time
Lu Fuyue, who was refining pills, did not expect that her original plan to refine a fourth-grade pill would unexpectedly elevate the pill's grade to a higher level.
Since she fused the Phoenix Divine Fire and the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, she has become increasingly adept at controlling the divine fire.
Divine fire alchemy is inherently effective in improving the quality of pills. Combined with the phoenix power within Lu Fuyue's body, she inadvertently refined a pill that surpasses the fourth grade, a breakthrough pill for the Golden Core stage, which also attracted the pill tribulation of a fifth grade pill.
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips and continued to control the temperature of the alchemy furnace to prevent it from exploding.
Judging from the current situation, things are probably getting a bit complicated.
However, the effect was still quite good.
Soon, a faint fragrance of elixirs filled the air, and the dark clouds above the alchemy room grew denser, making it difficult for some disciples with lower cultivation levels to breathe.
Seeing this, the elder in charge of law enforcement raised his hand and set up a spiritual energy shield to protect the junior disciples in the Qi Refining stage.
He hadn't expected that Fu Yue was not only exceptionally talented in cultivation, but also outstanding in alchemy.
Just then, a pill with golden Dao patterns suddenly flew from the alchemy room into the sky full of pill lightning.
Countless bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, struck the pill simultaneously.
A white figure, carrying a light blue zither, swiftly flew into the sky, and red lotuses appeared out of thin air wherever its toes touched.
"Look, isn't that Senior Sister Lu?"
"It really is Senior Sister Lu, but why can't I see through her cultivation level?"
"You're so stupid. Of course you can't see through this, you're only at the Foundation Establishment stage. Senior Sister Lu, no, I should call you Martial Aunt Lu now. Martial Aunt Lu has already reached the Golden Core stage since she came back not long ago."
"What? Then Uncle Lu's talent is even stronger than that of Master Yan, who is ranked first on the genius list."
...
Qian Tianjin glanced coldly at the disciples who were chattering incessantly, "Instead of cultivating properly, you're just focusing your attention on these things."
Upon hearing this, the disciples immediately lowered their heads and fell silent.
The law enforcement elder glanced at Qian Tianjin and said, "Speaking of cultivation, it seems like it's been a long time since I've seen Elder Qian break through."
"Elder Qian should set a good example rather than talking about these disciples."
Qian Tianjin stiffened, but he dared not offend the law enforcement elder easily, after all, his cultivation and status were higher than his.
However, he would definitely not let Lu Fuyue go. If she hadn't been so ruthless, his only son wouldn't be lying half-dead in bed.
Thinking of this, Qian Tianjin's hatred for Lu Fuyue deepened, and he was determined to kill her to avenge his son!
His eyes were fixed on the person in the sky who was undergoing tribulation for the elixir, and hatred continued to grow in his heart.
Lu Fuyue, you just wait and see. This time, no matter who you are, I will make sure you die without a burial place!
Lu Fuyue stood in the air amidst a sky full of golden lightning, calmly stroking the zither in her hands. Red lotuses bloomed at her feet, and her beautiful face, dressed in white, was even more stunning, with the red lotus on her forehead becoming even more vibrant.
As the zither music began, streams of spiritual energy shot straight towards the pill lightning. In less than a moment, the dark clouds dispersed, and the golden pill flew into Lu Fuyue's palm.
