The clouds rolled like the flames rising from a furnace, or like cinnabar splashed in ink, so gorgeous that it was almost blinding.
The mountain mist was dyed a light red-gold color, lingering among the people queuing, like a layer of gauze, blurring the figures who were eagerly waiting.
The evening breeze gradually picked up, bringing a bit of coolness, but it could not blow away the bustle on the mountain path.
The news that Li Lingge had obtained the Danbi inheritance swept through the entire Fuyao Sect like a storm. Within half a day, everyone in the sect knew about this new alchemy genius.
The Qingming Peak where he was located was originally a relatively secluded place for cultivation within the sect, but now it has become the most lively place in the entire Fuyao Sect.
On the mountain path, there are shadowy figures of people, stretching from the foot of the mountain to the top. From a distance, it looks like a long winding dragon.
Most of them are young and beautiful disciples of Fuyao Sect, and even elders.
Some of them covered their faces with fans, some held spiritual fruits in their hands, and some even came directly with the pills they had refined, hoping to take the opportunity to chat with Li Lingge.
Dresses of various colors fluttered in the wind, and pearl hairpins swayed, reflecting the afterglow of the setting sun, like a flowing galaxy of stars.
Some people were talking and laughing in low voices, some were waiting silently, and some were looking at the cave on the top of the peak shrouded in rosy clouds, their eyes full of longing.
In the distance, the sound of the bell from the Fuyao Sect could be heard slowly, creating ripples in the twilight.
Birds returned to their nests, flying across the sky, leaving behind a few black silhouettes in the crimson glow.
"I heard that Senior Brother Li is not only incredibly accomplished in the art of alchemy, but also incredibly handsome!"
A senior sister in a lavender gauze dress whispered to her companion beside her, admiration glittering in her eyes.
"Hmph, you're late. I'm afraid you won't be able to get a spot."
The other junior sister in blue snorted and proudly raised the jade box in her hand.
"I have specially refined a furnace of Yang Yuan Dan. When I see Senior Brother Li later, I will definitely give it to him personally!"
At the front of the team, several female examiners were talking in low voices, occasionally giggling, but their eyes were always looking towards the ancient cave on the top of the mountain, as if they were expecting that figure to appear.
Luo Hongying stood at the foot of the mountain, looking at the sea of people in front of her, and was a little dazed for a moment.
She had just passed the sect's assessment and wanted to ask Li Lingge for advice as soon as possible, but she didn't expect that it would be so difficult to even get close to his cave.
"Junior sister, are you here to see Senior Brother Li as well?"
An older senior sister next to her saw her standing there in a daze and asked with a smile.
Luo Hongying nodded, lowered her head and blushed slightly.
"I just want to ask some questions about the Dao of Alchemy..."
Upon hearing this, the senior sister chuckled.
"Junior sister, I've heard excuses like yours no less than a hundred times today." She pointed ahead, "Look, do you see that senior sister in red?"
Luo Hongying followed her gaze and saw a graceful woman in red, looking forward anxiously, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips.
"This senior sister is——"
"She claimed that she had some health problems while refining the elixir, and she insisted that Senior Brother Li come to her rescue."
“…”
Luo Hongying was speechless for a moment. These people could come up with any excuse to see Master Li.
At the top of Qingming Peak, outside Li Lingge's cave, several deacons and disciples were sweating profusely as they maintained order.
"Senior sisters and junior sisters, Senior Brother Li is not seeing guests today. Please come back another day!" A deacon disciple shouted loudly.
"Not seeing guests? Then why did Senior Sister Liu from Yuxia Peak go in just now?" Someone immediately asked dissatisfiedly.
"That's right! Could it be that Senior Brother Li only sees the beautiful senior sisters and not ordinary disciples like us?" another female cultivator said sourly.
The deacon disciple smiled bitterly and could only explain reluctantly.
"Senior Sister Liu came here to deliver the elixir on the orders of the Sect Master, not out of personal interest..."
However, this explanation obviously failed to quell people's dissatisfaction.
On the mountain path, the sounds of chirping rose and fell one after another, and some people even began to compete secretly, trying to squeeze to the front of the team.
Inside the cave, Li Lingge sat cross-legged on a cushion, with the Fulong Pill floating in his palm.
There are fine dragon scale patterns on the surface of the pill body. With every breath, one can seem to hear the low dragon roar echoing deep in the blood.
"Use the elixir as a guide to refine the spirit and transform it into emptiness."
As the Fulong Pill entered his throat, a huge wave of consciousness surged in his sea of consciousness in an instant.
The originally calm mental power suddenly surged like a flame injected with boiling oil!
A ray of silver-white spiritual fire suddenly lit up in the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows.
The flame was only the size of a bean at first, but it burned brighter and brighter under the stimulation of the elixir power, gradually turning into a ball of light the size of a fist.
Li Lingge's temples were throbbing and beads of sweat were oozing out of his forehead, but his expression remained as calm as the depths of the abyss.
At this moment, the mental power began to rotate autonomously, forming a silver-white vortex in the center of the sea of consciousness.
Every time the vortex rotated, a visible ripple spread out from Li Lingge's body.
The medicine cabinets, alchemy furnaces and other objects in the cave were swept by the ripples and spontaneously floated up!
At the same time, his mental strength was also rising steadily.
The next moment, an illusory golden dragon flew out from the elixir that had not yet been fully refined, and rushed straight into the sea of consciousness along the meridians.
Li Lingge groaned, and light golden mist emanated from all seven of his orifices.
The dragon shadow roared and rolled in his sea of consciousness, and every swing of its tail caused the spiritual vortex to expand several times.
The originally silver-white spiritual power was now stained with brilliant golden light.
Click——
There seemed to be a sound of a barrier breaking in the dark, and three inches above Li Lingge's crown, a crystal clear diamond-shaped crystal suddenly appeared.
