A massive red beam of light shot into the sky, exploding with a deafening roar.
All the elders of the Tianbao Sect were startled by the loud noise and rushed out.
"Damn it! Enemy attack!"
"All sects on alert!"
"Who dares to attack my Tianbao Sect?"
Instantly, all the elders gathered around Miao Yunyi's sect leader peak.
At this mont, Miao Yunyi and his disciple Xu Ning were standing beside a huge, deep pit.
Xu Ning opened his mouth. "My damn fool!"
"Ahem!" Miao Yunyi coughed twice, trying to cover his embarrassnt.
Xu Ning said, "Sect Leader Miao, after all these years, it feels like nothing has changed?"
With so many people around, Xu Ning didn't call him "Master" to conceal his identity.
Miao Yunyi glared. "That's because these spiritual herbs aren't old enough! Is it my fault?"
Xu Ning nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, yes!"
The surrounding elders finally understood that it was the sect leader's pill refining that caused the problem.
"Let's go, let's go!"
"The sect leader is always causing trouble!"
A group of elders waved their hands and left.
After everyone had left, Miao Yunyi turned to Xu Ning, rubbing his hands together. "My good disciple, do you have any treasure-grade spiritual herbs? How about I make another batch for you?"
Xu Ning rolled his eyes. "Master, I'm only at the Foundation Establishnt stage. Treasure-grade spiritual herbs are so rare; they're simply beyond my reach!"
Miao Yunyi was disappointed, but his expression quickly returned to seriousness. "Ahem, my good disciple! You don't have much ti left. You need to cultivate diligently. Go back now!"
Xu Ning didn't answer. Instead, he looked at the iron pot, lantern, and desk in the pit. "Good luck to you all!"
The iron pot grumbled, "You beasts!"
The lantern cried, "Is this the important task you ntioned before? If I had known, I wouldn't have agreed!"
The desk protested, "No way! It's for our peanuts!"
Xu Ning didn't answer. He waved his hand, took to the air, and headed towards the Tiancheng Sect, completely ignoring the disgruntled complaints of the three items behind him.
After watching Xu Ning leave, Miao Yunyi looked at the three items in the pit and couldn't help but let out a lewd laugh. "Hehehehe!"
The iron pot, lantern, and desk trembled in the pit.
Back at the Tiancheng Sect, Xu Ning focused on his cultivation.
It must be said that his master, Miao Yunyi, was quite generous, providing Xu Ning with a massive amount of resources this ti, which must be a significant expense for the entire Tianbao Sect.
The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.
After sorting the resources, Xu Ning used the spiritual herbs to upgrade his pills and saved the rest to prepare for advancing to the Yuan-level legendary item level.
Everything was currently on track, and Xu Ning couldn't help but ponder the cultivation of the Yingying Monster and Tie Dan.
After releasing the two, Xu Ning stroked his chin and examined them closely.
Xu Ning said, "It's been almost three hundred years. How co you're only at the sixteenth level of Qi Refining?"
Tie Dan said, "It's all because of you! You kept pushing our levels up, causing our foundations to beco deeper and deeper, and our cultivation to beco slower and slower!"
The Yingying Monster proudly tilted its eagle head. "Exactly! Also, you don't need to cultivate martial arts at all, but we all have to cultivate, four kinds a day."
"Even the dogs and oxen in the production team aren't this tired, are they?"
Xu Ning stroked his chin. "I rember you demon cultivators can directly eat spiritual herbs to improve your cultivation, right?"
Tie Dan glared. "You have the nerve to say that? You usually feed us immature spiritual herbs so that we poop more!"
"Hiss—" Xu Ning gasped. "Am I that inhumane?"
The Yingying Monster said, "Try to rember!"
Xu Ning quickly waved his hand. "Let's not talk about the past!"
Tie Dan and the Yingying Monster looked at Xu Ning, the corners of their mouths simultaneously curling up, then drooping down, as if to tell Xu Ning, "You just don't dare to admit it!"
Xu Ning said, "Alright, alright! From now on, I'll serve you divine-grade elixirs! I'll try to reach the seventeenth level by the ti I leave the North Sea Peak, and then go to the mortal realm to establish my foundation!"
With that, Xu Ning took out his storage bag and grabbed a large portion of the divine-grade spirit-level elixirs, stuffing them into the mouths of Tie Dan and the Yingying Monster.
Tie Dan and the Yingying Monster's eyes lit up instantly, and they began to chew and swallow frantically.
They were overjoyed! Ah! The long-awaited mature elixirs!
However, this presented Xu Ning with a problem. He no longer had divine-grade elixirs to practice alchemy and couldn't attempt to break through to the divine-grade alchemist level.
Legend had it that it took Xu Ning over a hundred years to beco an alchemist.
And the divine-grade level... who knew how long that would take.
So Xu Ning was thinking about whether he should upgrade his other secondary professions to legendary level before considering becoming a divine-grade alchemist.
Ugh! Just thinking about it gives a headache! I'll take it slow! I have plenty of ti!
---
Four years passed in the blink of an eye.
The snow on the North Sea Peak never stopped, and outside the thatched hut, everything was still covered in white snow.
After Xu Ning finished his cultivation, he stepped out of his room and froze.
There stood his master, Miao Yunyi, setting up a pot outside.
Xu Ning imdiately glared at him. "Old man, what are you doing? Stop!"
Miao Yunyi, without turning his head, said, "The precious pill hasn't been working. I suspect it's a problem with the feng shui of the place. Your thatched hut looks a lot like the old Xuanzhi Peak. I was thinking of trying it here!"
Xu Ning quickly stepped forward and grabbed Miao Yunyi's arm. "Old man, you can't! This won't work!"
Miao Yunyi turned and glared at Xu Ning. "What's wrong with this place? I'll just buy you a new one if the hut's broken!"
Xu Ning said, "It's not the hut's fault. With the power of the precious pill's explosion, even my Great Elder Peak would be destroyed!"
Miao Yunyi said, "I don't care. I'm going to try!"
Xu Ning said, "Then wait a minute!"
After saying that, Xu Ning raised his hand, controlling the Yuan-level top-grade defensive formation to shrink its range, finally completely surrounding Miao Yunyi's iron pot and lantern.
Along the way, Xu Ning couldn't help but glare at Miao Yunyi's iron pot, lantern, and desk, as if to say, "How can you be so useless? You haven't been able to help your master refine the precious pill after all this ti."
The three items cried out in their hearts, "We're wronged!"
At this mont, as the defensive formation enveloped them, the iron pot and lantern were lifted into the air by the formation.
Miao Yunyi asked in confusion, "What is this thing?"
Xu Ning replied, "Master, you're supposed to be a master of array formations! You don't even know about defensive arrays?"
Miao Yunyi retorted, "But I've tried it. It's okay once or twice, but after a few tis, it just won't hold up!"
What Miao Yunyi didn't ntion was that he was using a treasure-level array. Destroying one would be a huge loss for him, lasting half a year.
Xu Ning gestured. "Why don't you try it first?"
Miao Yunyi nodded, leaped onto the desk, and announced, "Alchemy, activate!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the lantern ignited, and Miao Yunyi began refining pills.
And the result?
Boom!
The iron pot and lantern were instantly engulfed in an explosion, flas surging within the defensive array.
Miao Yunyi instinctively tried to retreat, but imdiately realized that the defensive array had blocked all the explosive force, and he was relieved.
"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!"
