Chen Sheng's eyes swept across the exploration team. It was like the arrival of winter, invisible and intangible, but one could feel the solemn and murderous intention.

With a movement of his Qi, his figure disappeared directly from the void, extremely fast, just like the sword light, like a swimming dragon, flying dozens of feet away.

"puff"

A cultivator at the twelfth level of Qi Refining was beheaded directly, blood splattered everywhere, and his head fell to the ground.

As it got closer, another expert in the Qi Refining Realm sensed the danger, and with a desperate move, he rushed towards Chen Sheng with his magic sword in hand.

"cut"

Chen Sheng hummed softly, and the iron sword began to hum. The sword's intent swept across the sky, breaking through all things. The visitor's mind was captivated, and his offensive collapsed. Then, his head was pierced by the sword, and his empty mind returned to silence.

"Brother Fang, let's retreat."

The remaining two Qi Refining Realm monks were so frightened that they lost their minds. The enemy's magic power was too strong and there was no sign of it being exhausted.

There is also a precious orb hanging above his head, protecting all directions. He is inherently invincible and is totally unbeatable.

"Retreat? Big risk, big reward. If we kill him, we will get more."

Fang Xiao insisted on his own idea and did not think that Chen Sheng was really invincible. No matter how powerful the magic weapon was, it still needed magic power to maintain it.

As a person who had the same cultivation level as Chen Sheng, he firmly believed that Chen Sheng’s magic power was about to collapse.

“Boom…”

Fang Xiao started to practice his skills, like a glutton, constantly devouring the spiritual energy around him and pushing his power to a higher level.

His eyes were also like Taotie's, full of greed, so intense that he wanted to devour Chen Sheng.

"You are the only one who has a magical weapon? My Frost Sword is not at all disadvantageous."

He let out a long roar and drew out a sword, which was completely white, like condensed ice and snow, and fell into the void, accompanied by wind, frost, snow and rain.

This is a second-level magical weapon, and also Fang Xiao’s trump card, which he will use when he really risks his life.

"clang"

Under Fang Xiao's urging, the Frost Sword flew out of the snow mountain like a jade dragon, cutting through the fierce gale. It was like a cold rule between heaven and earth, attacking Chen Sheng.

Such an attack is already extremely powerful. After all, no matter how weak the magic power of the Foundation Establishment Realm is, it can still launch a terrifying attack by relying on a second-level magic weapon.

"boom"

Chen Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and poured his spirit into the exquisite gem. Brilliant light sprinkled down, and the void changed color inch by inch, as if it were a glazed treasure land, solid and immortal.

The Frost Sword rushed towards him and rushed into the glazed void, but under the suppression of the dazzling light, it gradually became slow until it became silent and was completely immobilized.

"It's still unbreakable."

There was a hint of roar and horror in Fang Xiao's voice. A cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Realm, who activated a second-level magic weapon and attacked with all his strength, was unable to shake the defense of an opponent at the same level.

Absolutely! Outrageous!

"kill!"

Chen Sheng's iron sword flew across the sky, and the sword was so sharp that the void was regarded as nothing. The sword intent rolled like a rushing river, full of unstoppable posture.

"puff"

Fang Xiao was badly defeated, stabbed by a sword, as if his energy and spirit were cut off. He was no longer at his peak, his clothes were stained with blood, and he looked indescribably lonely.

"clang"

Chen Sheng showed no mercy, he drew his sword and slashed with it, but it was the Star-Cutting Sword Technique. The void dimmed for a moment, then brightened, like a flash of brilliance that soon faded away.

"Big risk, no reward, I hate it..."

Fang Xiao's soul was torn apart by the sword light. He repented when he died, but it was too late.

"Senior, spare my life."

"It was this thief who allowed us to commit such atrocities."

There were only two people left in the exploration team. After a while of begging for mercy, Fang Xiao died. Even if they joined forces, they couldn't do anything to Chen Sheng. They really were no match for him.

"How can such a person cultivate immortality?"

The young boy who was picking herbs kept shaking his head as he watched. He was so strong to the end. Even if his original intention was wrong, he could still be called a villain. Now, even his reputation after death has been ruined.

"clang"

Chen Sheng drew his sword, and two heads rolled to the ground. The entire exploration team was buried neatly in the Wenshuo Mountains.

"Senior's divine power."

The young herb collector walked out with a look of reverence on his face. Chen Sheng's fighting skills were remarkable and could be considered among the best among the cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Moreover, this person did not abandon him even in such a dangerous situation, which was truly noble.

His methods and character are both top-notch, how could he not admire him?

Getting the green fungus stone solved the problem.

Chen Sheng felt very happy and always had a smile on his face. He returned to the base in the mountains with the boy who was collecting herbs.

"Teacher, but I succeeded."

Zhou Lie and Chen Sheng had been master and apprentice for decades, and he immediately saw the teacher's mood, which was extremely happy. He felt a little moved and also showed a hint of joy.

"Um."

Mr. Chen smiled and nodded.

“That’s great.”

Zhou Lie missed the people and things in Yaolu a little, and asked, "When will we return to the mountain gate?"

There was nothing of note for him in the Wenshuo Mountains. Even though the medicine and stone business in the stronghold was booming, it was just a small business and not worth mentioning.

The Guangxiu Immortal Sect's medicine house is his home and the stage for him to display his skills.

"Now that we have the Green Fungus Stone, the arrangements here are no longer necessary. There is nothing to deal with, and we can leave at any time."

Chen Sheng had no reason to stay in the Wenshuo Mountains for long, and he began to think about leaving. After all, the Qingfan Stone had been found, and there was no point in staying any longer.

"Senior, I'm leaving..."

The young herbalist knew that this day would come, but when it finally came, he was still extremely reluctant.

"Fate brings together and fate separates, and there will always be separation."

Chen Sheng had always spent his life in parting. He said with emotion: "You have good aptitude and great fortune. If you continue to cultivate well, we may meet again in the future."

He was very optimistic about the young herbalist. He had good aptitude and fortune. If he practiced seriously, he would have a lifespan of at least two to three hundred years and would be able to last until the next time they met.

"I will not disappoint the elders' high hopes. I will practice with all my heart and make achievements in the way of alchemy."

Before leaving, Mr. Chen was still talking about his spiritual practice, which moved the young boy who was collecting herbs very much.

He thought about the five months they had spent together. Chen Sheng had sorted out the flaws in his exercises for him, taught him the art of alchemy, and taught him the principles of being a good person and doing good things. He was like a kind-hearted elder, and he couldn't help but feel excited and inexplicably moved.

"This was given to me by an elder. I am giving it to you now to help you in your alchemy practice."

Finally, Chen Sheng gave the Chixun furnace to the herb-collecting boy. As his alchemy skills improved, this alchemy furnace could no longer keep up.

This item was given to him by Xi Fu, and it contained the old man's earnest hopes. Now he was giving it to the young herbalist, which could be regarded as the passing on of the torch.

"It was given to him."

Zhou Lie admitted that he felt a little jealous. Although such an alchemy furnace was nothing, the emotions contained in it were immeasurable.

As the teacher's direct disciple and only successor, he rarely had the chance to enjoy such caring care, but it was received by the herb-collecting boy. It was really enviable to see him like that.

"Master Chen, I bid you farewell here."

The young herbalist knew that such support was as heavy as a mountain, so he looked solemn, bowed his body, and bid farewell to Chen Sheng.

…

Elder, you are back! When Chen Sheng returned to the medicine house, especially after Zhou Lie revealed that all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill were ready, the entire outer sect seemed to be boiling.

Qianyuan Dragon-Tiger Pill is a top-grade medicine of the second grade. If it is truly refined, the power of this generation of Yaolu will be extremely terrifying.

"This trip took five months."

Ever since Chen Sheng left, Lu Zhu has missed him. Counting day by day, it has been five months since Chen Sheng returned.

For a monastic family, five months is not a long time, but she just missed him very much.

With the protagonist in front of her, all the longing in her heart disappeared, and turned into concrete actions. She took Chen Sheng's hand with indescribable tenderness.

"It's my fault. I was delayed."

Mr. Chen did not refute anything. His face was gentle and there was a smile in his eyes. He could understand Luzhu's feelings very well.

She was not a devout seeker of truth. She was able to achieve the foundation-building stage because she wanted to live for more than a hundred years and stay with him, so she practiced hard.

Time flies, and he really needs to spend more time with the people around him.

"Don't talk nonsense. You are running around for the Immortal Sect's affairs. I am not a fool. I can understand your difficulties."

Luzhu was not happy with this. She hoped that Chen Sheng could be with her, but she also wanted her lover to be powerful and famous in the border areas.

She didn't want to be a burden to Mr. Chen.

"Fortunately, I also have a wife and a child."

In the past, whenever Zhou Lie witnessed this scene, he would cover his face and walk away.

Now he felt the same way, so he returned home, chatted with Tang Hua, and taught his son, feeling the beauty of life.

After hearing the news that the Qingfan Stone had been acquired, Mr. Chen wrote a document to inform Mr. Shen that he no longer needed to worry about the matter.

Then he went to Baiyu Peak.

"When will the elixir be made?"

Fu Yunzi had already heard that Chen Sheng had found the Green Fungus Stone and collected all the spiritual herbs for the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, and he could start refining the pill at any time.

Many people are watching this matter and want to know the subsequent developments.

"Let me sort out the pharmacology of Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, deduce the key points, and then make the pill."

Mr. Chen is extremely dedicated to the refining of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill. He has a sense of responsibility and a drive to challenge difficulties.

This is the most advanced type of elixir in the second stage. As long as it is successfully refined, it will represent that his alchemy skills have reached the top level in the second stage.

The advancement of alchemy is his goal, so naturally he will not do it perfunctorily.

"Don't be arrogant or impatient, you will definitely be fine."

There was a look of satisfaction in Fu Yunzi's eyes. He liked Chen Sheng's way of doing things. It was calm and measured, just like his personality.

He has admired Chen Sheng since the Ascension Conference, and he still admires him now.

It was extremely fortunate for Luzhu to have found such a good match.

"In the past three years, Senior has worked hard on the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill. Now you can rest in peace."

Mr. Chen did not forget that it was this person who first promoted him. Just that one vermilion stroke on the entry list was enough to change his destiny.

So, when he saw Fu Yunzi's hair, the latter half of which was almost hoarfrost-like in color, he felt sad.

"My white hair is not caused by worrying about you."

Fu Yunzi laughed loudly, knowing his own situation, and said: "Time is ruthless, it has cut off my blood and energy. Midwinter has arrived, and the old tree has no chance of sprouting any more."

Amidst his carefree attitude, he still had a tinge of regret that he could not make rapid progress. Now his blood was drying up, and in about ten years, he would be buried in the earth.

"Senior, you are joking."

Mr. Chen had a smile on his face, but his heart was filled with unspeakable emotions and he was unable to say anything.

After returning, Chen Sheng locked himself in the alchemy room and used the matter of elixirs to suppress his rising distracting thoughts.

He had on hand two copies of the alchemy inheritance obtained by the Jingxiao Chamber of Commerce. He read them again this time and gained new insights. He then verified them one by one with his own insights and intuitively felt that his alchemy skills had improved.

The Chixun furnace that he had before was given to the herbalist boy. He found another alchemy furnace in the medicine house and replaced it with a "rainbow trout", a top-grade second-level magical weapon.

He had to get familiar with the new alchemy furnace. As the fire rose between his palms, he practiced the eight methods of controlling fire and was so engrossed in it that he forgot about time.

Chen Sheng also did not forget the secret alchemy method of Sha Liuli, which was to seek life from death and transform decay into spirit.

The refining of the Qianyuan Dragon-Tiger Pill this time is extremely important and cannot fail. If an accident really occurs, we will have to use this secret method to save it.

Last but not least.

He repeatedly looked at the recipe of Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, trying to figure out the changes between the various pharmacological principles.

Sometimes, he would sit cross-legged and deduce the details of alchemy in his mind, trying to be absolutely sure.

This took two years.

"Is there any news about the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill?"

Cheng Yushu was getting impatient waiting, and took the opportunity to hand over things to Qi Luo to finally ask.

He knew that even though he had spent a lot of effort and shown off his feelings for the spiritual herbs of the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill, in Chen Sheng's heart, he was still inferior to Qi Luo.

So he might not know about the planning of such a big event, but Qi Luo might know.

"Master Zhou said that the elder is still comprehending the Dao of alchemy, and it is not yet time for him to make the elixir."

Qi Luo did not receive any instructions from Chen Sheng, but he heard Zhou Lie say by chance that Chen Sheng was currently concentrating on deducing the details of refining the Qianyuan Dragon and Tiger Pill in the alchemy room.

After all, there is still plenty of time, as there are still four years left before the nine-year agreement.

"Zhou Lie? Sometimes, I really envy him for being able to become a disciple of the elders."

If it is said that Cheng Yushu was a little unwilling to admit defeat towards Qi Luo, and thought that the gap between the two of them was due to the words that Xiao Daofeng said that day.

As for Zhou Lie, he was speechless and felt deeply envious.

The master-disciple relationship between Zhou Lie and Chen Sheng naturally overrides that of their subordinates, and they cannot be contested at all.

"Everyone in the entire Yaolu feels this way."

Qi Luo had a deep understanding of the Tao.

This is not a unique mentality of Cheng Yushu, he also has this mentality, and most of the alchemists in the medicine house also have this mentality.

But this is indeed something that cannot be envied.

"The goodwill we showed at the beginning has brought us to the current situation. It's worth it for the Zhou family."

Cheng Yushu has a family of immortal cultivators behind him. When he mentioned this, he was full of emotion and said, "That Deacon Zhou has an outstanding vision."

Just this one thing is enough for Deacon Zhou's spirit tablet to enjoy the highest level of incense in the ancestral hall.

This is undoubtedly the honor most admired by the children of the immortal cultivation family.

"You can't count it that way. Deacon Zhou used all his life's connections to help the elders sincerely, which led to the prosperity of the Zhou family today."

Qi Luo had a different opinion and also distinguished the difference between him and Cheng Yushu.

That is Qi Luo's utilitarianism, which is relatively shallow. When looking at problems, he is more concerned with human nature and morality.

Without this sincerity, even if Deacon Zhou helped the elders, he would not have left such a profound legacy.

"I just hope that the elders will keep us in mind."

Cheng Yushu's eyes became distant. He also wanted his family to receive the same care as the Zhou family. He hoped very much.

From beginning to end.

Neither of them mentioned the failure of alchemy. They and the entire medicine house had enough confidence in Chen Sheng.
