In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed.

Ever since the golden elixir was refined that year, it caused a sensation in all directions, and some people gained fame, while others made a profit.

The inner sect geniuses benefited from this and their cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds.

As an assistant alchemist, Chen Sheng became a rising star in the medicine house. He was transferred from the Chenguang Palace and took charge of the Tianwang Palace, one of the twelve palaces.

In the following twenty years, he devoted himself to the art of alchemy, kept a low profile, integrated the strengths of the three schools, and cultivated fire control, pharmacology, and knowledge of spiritual herbs to the highest level.

"Master Chen, I have a batch of Qi-boosting and longevity-enhancing pills that I need you to refine."

A middle-aged deacon walked in. He was humble but not fawning. When he lowered his eyebrows and raised his head, he looked at Chen Sheng with a look of reverence.

It is this young man who is extremely famous among the outer sect. The first-grade pills he refines are of superior quality and are often snatched up as soon as they come out of the furnace.

Even their Yuwu Palace had to rush forward to ask for it.

"That's against the rules. You should inform Elder Shen first, and then he will assign me a task before I can start refining the elixir."

Mr. Chen was helpless. In recent years, as his alchemy skills improved, various parties had specifically asked him to make the elixirs.

This is an affirmation, but he is really too busy to satisfy everyone.

"This is the process for most alchemists, but Master Chen, you are too popular, and you only refine a certain amount of pills every month. If you are not smart, you may not be able to get a place."

The steward of Yuwu Hall was also helpless. He knew that it was not in compliance with the procedures, but they had invested heavily in this batch of Qi-invigorating and longevity pills and could not afford to lose them easily.

After much thought, among the first-level alchemists, only Master Chen from the outer sect medicine house would be the most reliable.

After all, he had withstood the pressure when refining the second-grade superior golden elixir back then, so refining a batch of Qi-invigorating and longevity-prolonging elixirs should be a piece of cake for him now.

"Well, you will bring the spiritual herbs needed for the Qi-boosting and longevity-prolonging pills."

Mr. Chen pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

"Okay, I'll deliver it right away."

The steward of Yuwu Temple was pleasantly surprised. He came to ask Chen Sheng to make the elixir, but he was unsure. However, since the matter was of great importance, he had to try. However, he did not expect to get what he wanted.

Afterwards, he hurried back to get the raw materials for the Yiqi Yannian Pill.

If we delay, something might happen. It is hard to say what Master Chen Dan will arrange.

"Xifu and the other three seniors are also old."

Looking at the hurried figure of the steward of Yuwu Hall, Mr. Chen had a calm expression and then sighed.

He took on this order from Yuwu Palace for his own considerations. The Yiqi Yannian Pill had the ability to strengthen the body and boost the blood. He wanted to take a portion of it and use it on Xi Fu and the other three old men.

Time is merciless, and now the three old men, like Deacon Zhou back then, have become very old and frail.

He was in the Heavenly King Palace, waiting for the steward from the Yuwu Palace to deliver the spiritual herbs, but what he got was Lu Zhu.

"Master Chen of the Heavenly King Palace, you have now achieved extraordinary accomplishments in the art of alchemy. You are already one of the best in the Medicine House."

Twenty years have passed, and Lu Zhu is still as charming as ever, dressed in green, with a graceful figure like a willow in the wind.

She looked at Mr. Chen with her gentle eyes, then narrowed them slightly, with a look of dissatisfaction.

"Why, it's meant to be meaningful."

When Chen Sheng saw this, he knew that Lu Zhu was not really praising him, but he didn't seem to have done anything to offend the girl, so he was puzzled.

"You should also shift your focus from alchemy to cultivation. How can you build a foundation if you haven't yet reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining?"

Luzhu was a little anxious. Twenty years had passed, and Chen Sheng's cultivation had improved from the eighth level of Qi Refining to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

This cultivation speed is a bit slow.

She attributed it to the fact that Mr. Chen spent too much time on the art of alchemy.

Mr. Chen said calmly.

"Don't worry. By then your body functions will decline. How will you build your foundation?"

Luzhu was almost angry to death.

The best time to break through to the Foundation Establishment Stage is as early as possible. Sixty or seventy years old is the final limit.

After this age, the body's functions decline, and even if you want to, you are powerless.

Counting his age, Mr. Chen is already 65 years old this year. How can she not be anxious?

"Okay, I will practice well."

Mr. Chen was very sorry for making Luzhu worry, but his situation was not subject to the normal laws of life and death.

The property of immortality is enough for him to practice slowly without having to fight for a moment or two.

"You always use this sentence to perfunctorily deal with me."

After Luzhu muttered, she took out an object and said, "This is the turtle snake soil I pried out when I went deep into the Suotian Valley and broke through the ground layer thirty feet deep. You should swallow it with water so that you will have time to plan for building the foundation."

Turtle Snake Soil is an underground mineral that contains magical properties. Although it does not have the ability to prolong life, it can activate human functions and prevent them from becoming exhausted and falling.

"It's so dangerous, you..."

Chen Sheng automatically ignored the rarity of the Turtle Snake Soil and was only concerned about Lu Zhu's body. He had heard that the Locking Sky Valley was an extremely dangerous place with mysterious treasures hidden in it. Countless immortal cultivators went there alone, but ended up with no body left. Very few were able to walk out of it.

Not only did Lu Zhu go there, she also dug thirty feet deep into the bottom, making a big noise. This trip was definitely extremely dangerous.

"You know, I'm a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage, there's no problem."

However, Lu Zhu was very calm. She waved her hand, emphasized "cultivate well" and left.

"Master Chen, all the spiritual herbs needed for the Qi-boosting and longevity-prolonging pills are in here."

The steward of Yuwu Hall returned to Tianwang Hall and found that Master Chen Dan's mood had changed and he seemed not as happy as before.

He couldn't help but feel uneasy, fearing that something had changed temporarily, but he pretended nothing had happened and took out a storage bag filled with spiritual herbs needed for the Qi-invigorating and longevity pills.

"good."

Mr. Chen did not notice the speculation in the mind of the steward of Yuwu Hall. His mind was still wavering about Luzhu's going to Suotian Valley. Even though she had returned safely, he could not ignore it.

He took the storage bag casually without even looking at it.

"Then I won't bother Master Chen anymore."

The uneasiness in the heart of the steward of Yuwu Temple turned into great joy, as the magical herbs that could replenish energy and prolong life had already been delivered.

Then, there will be no twists and turns in this matter.

Next, he only needs to wait and then he can report to his superiors with this batch of longevity pills.

Then, the Heavenly King Hall suddenly became quiet and deserted.

The servants outside did not dare to come in without orders. Only Chen Sheng stood there, holding the turtle, snake and soil in his hands, speechless.

"Refine a few furnaces first, and the rest will come slowly."

After a while, Mr. Chen simply shifted his attention to the Qi-invigorating and longevity-promoting pills.

On the one hand, he wanted to calm his mind, and on the other hand, he wanted to take some of the medicine as soon as possible and let Xi Fu and the other three old men take it.
