Chapter 45 The Sword-Questioning Competition Begins



Pei Yuan eventually became a master alchemist.

The name of the new Pill Saint spread instantly after he successfully transcended his tribulation. Many cultivators of his age exclaimed in surprise, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.

Then he slapped his thigh and realized that this was Pei Yuan, who had been highly praised but failed to break through to the Pill Saint level and then disappeared!

He was once hailed as a genius.

Unfortunately, it was not as satisfactory as expected.

So what? A genius is still a genius. Even after being hidden for so long, he can still amaze the world.

Countless geniuses have disappeared from the cultivation world, so how did this one rise to prominence?

On the long and arduous path of cultivation, one must always find some amusement amidst the boredom.

The powerful figures suddenly arrived at the Sword Inquiry Sect, wanting to see where the new Pill Saint was.

After the tribulation of the Dan Saint ended, the Class C disciples who had been standing by gathered around him. As the smoke and dust dissipated, the person revealed was still slender, but he was a young man with a feather fan and a silk turban.

The crowd looked at each other, wondering who this person was.

The question had barely formed when the man, seeing their puzzled expressions, laughed heartily and, as he walked toward them, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he transformed into an elderly man with ruddy complexion and white hair.

"Is it strange? I was young once too. After a breakthrough, everything returned to me." With a great increase in cultivation, the cultivation and appearance that had gradually faded with age naturally returned to their peak.

Most cultivators like to conjure up their youthful appearance, and he was no exception as he grew older.

He still loves his youthful appearance, but his state of mind is no longer the same.

No spirited young man possesses eyes etched with the marks of time.

Pei Yuanchao smiled with relief at the group of Class C members before him.

Thank you all.

The bow I made on graduation day reappears now.

This time, however, the old man's eyes were bright and piercing.

"Congratulations, Elder, on your ascension to sainthood in one fell swoop."

When the bigwigs and Lord Yanshan arrived, they saw this scene.

The entire Class C stood in neat rows, bowing and congratulating the old man in front of them.

“This…” someone looked at Lord Yanshan with a puzzled expression.

Yan Shanjun and Fuqu were acquainted and had stood side by side with Pei Yuan when he was in high spirits.

But his former friends have all become great figures in their respective fields, while he himself is unable to break through due to his state of mind.

As a result, Pei Yuan gradually lost contact with his old friends.

Only Fuqu, disregarding Pei Yuan's objections, frequently went to comfort him.

But Yan Shanjun often paid close attention and knew the reason for the teacher and student exchanging greetings today.

"Senior Brother Pei Yuan's heart knot has remained unresolved for a thousand years. Today, he has become a Pill Saint, all thanks to the disciples before him."

The bigwigs who came nodded knowingly, and were happy to see the scene of master and apprentice exchanging greetings.

.

Pei Yuan was escorted away by Yan Shanjun and others. Song Tingwan told Baili Xijiang to leave first, but she stopped Pei Xiang'an, who had been unusually quiet lately.

"Did Senior Brother go to guard the epiphyllum again?"

Pei Xiang'an looked at her in surprise, and chuckled at her teasing words: "You didn't guard the epiphyllum, but you did help Elder Pei organize many spiritual plants."

"Aren't we going to earn spirit stones anymore?" Song Tingwan walked out alongside him, a smile playing on her lips.

Seeing his junior sister's composed expression, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with the same cheerful tone as during the annual exam, "Back then, Elder Pei was nearing his end and had no intention of earning spirit stones anymore, but..."

He looked at the old man being greeted by a group of big shots and smiled from the bottom of his heart: "Now I have the motivation to earn spirit stones again."

Now that Elder Pei has broken through and has latched onto a Pill Saint, he needs to save money even more and acquire more precious spiritual plants for Elder Pei to use in making pills.

Perhaps... that could cure his meridians.

"Senior Brother Pei, would you dare to make a deal with me?"

She suddenly stopped, slightly raised her chin, and her bright eyes sparkled.

Pei Xiang'an stopped and turned around in confusion.

When I met her gaze, my heart suddenly started racing.

He couldn't quite describe his feelings at that moment, but he instinctively wanted to hold on.

"…you say."

Song Tingwan chuckled softly, and a box suddenly appeared in her hand.

A calming fragrance wafted from the box.

Pei Xiang'an was startled, but subconsciously looked around.

He had stayed in Pei Yuan's cave for many years and had seen many sixth-grade pill formulas, but none of them had reached his heart and mind.

“Take care of my business, and this pill will settle your obsession.”

Pei Xiang'an paused, looking at the box in her hand.

"Put it away first."

It would be bad if the fragrance of the elixir wafted out, as those powerful figures from earlier had not gone far.

Song Tingwan smiled nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just a fifth-grade pill."

He couldn't believe it. "How could this fragrance possibly be from a fifth-grade pill?"

The woman shoved the box directly into his arms, saying, "Since I dared to take it out, I can withstand any inspection."

After that sudden enlightenment on the way to Beihe, she felt a greater sense of identification with the Dao of Alchemy. After finishing the pills ahead of time in class, she would drift off into a daze and have many wonderful ideas.

This is a Grade 5 pill.

Everything was done using a seventh-grade pill formula, but at the moment the pill was formed, the condensed pill was forcibly pressed into the Shennong Cauldron, and a powerful divine sense isolated the cauldron from the outside world.

His divine sense continued to control the pill that was half-formed inside the cauldron, suppressing the pill's excitement and desire to escape. After a long time, he finally formed a quiet pill.

The pill, which had stopped struggling, was taken out of the cauldron. It did not have the pill marks of other seventh-grade pills. Its surface was pitted and uneven, and it was also duller than other pills.

The effect was somewhat diminished.

Yet it still retains 80% effectiveness.

It's just right to treat Pei Xiang'an's meridians.

As for what others might know—

It's quite normal for a genius fifth-grade alchemist who can't break through to the next level to go crazy in frustration and start refining all sorts of strange things.

Anyway, it's not a seventh-grade pill.

Pei Xiang'an, however, was not as calm as her. The moment she touched the box, she put it into her spatial ring, and then tore off a Wind Summoning Talisman with heartache.

A gust of wind suddenly came, and Song Tingwan helplessly covered her eyes.
