The screams of agony from the defensive formation reached Xu Ning's ears.
Xu Ning was speechless. "It's just a precious-grade pill exploding in the furnace. Was it really worth it?"
The defensive formation replied, "I can defend against it, that's true, but it doesn't an it won't hurt!"
Xu Ning said, "It's the first ti, so it'll hurt a little, but it'll pass!"
The defensive formation retorted, "Look at this situation. Once it's happened the first ti, your master will definitely get addicted, and there will definitely be many more tis!"
Xu Ning glared. "You'll open any kind of path, won't you?"
The defensive formation asked, "Did I open it first?"
At that mont, the explosion within the defensive formation finally stabilized.
Then, the defensive formation opened a gap, releasing all the smoke and dust with a "poof," spraying Xu Ning and his disciple Miao Yunyi's faces.
Xu Ning waved his hand to clear the dust in front of him. "You did this on purpose, didn't you?"
The defensive formation said, "No way! I just wasn't paying attention!"
Miao Yunyi, after dispersing the dust, looked ahead with shining eyes. "Good! It's good stuff! You always manage to co up with sothing extraordinary!"
Xu Ning quickly said, "I can't give you this!"
Miao Yunyi glared. "What do you take for?"
Even as he said this, Miao Yunyi's eyes darted around the defensive formation.
Xu Ning noticed sothing was wrong and quickly asked, "Master, do you still have pills to refine?"
Miao Yunyi reluctantly took out a set of spiritual herbs. "It's too difficult to collect a complete set of treasure-grade spiritual herbs. The cultivation cycle takes five to ten years. This is my last set. If it doesn't work this ti, I'll have to wait for new spiritual herbs to mature!"
With that, Miao Yunyi put the pills in and began refining.
Whether by coincidence or not, this ti it actually succeeded for the first ti.
Looking at the perfectly round pill in his hand, Miao Yunyi was overjoyed. He was practically ready to hug and kiss Xu Ning.
Luckily, Xu Ning realized sothing was amiss and dodged in ti, giving Miao Yunyi a look of disdain.
Then, Miao Yunyi spoke seriously. "Ahem! Disciple! Did you see that? This is my alchemy technique! Did you learn anything just now?"
Xu Ning frowned. "Master, I can easily refine this kind of mid-grade precious pill!"
Miao Yunyi didn't believe him at all. "Who are you trying to fool?"
Xu Ning sighed. No one believed him when he told the truth.
He wasn't bragging. Xu Ning was now a legendary alchemist capable of refining Yuan-grade legendary spiritual herbs, so refining precious pills across a major level was no problem for him.
Stolen content warning: this content belongs on . Report any occurrences.
It was just that Xu Ning didn't need precious pills yet, nor did he have any precious-grade spiritual herbs, so he hadn't tried refining them.
Imdiately, Xu Ning stepped forward and pushed Miao Yunyi. "Master, the pills are finished. Let's go!"
Miao Yunyi replied, "But I haven't taken my pill-refining equipnt yet!"
Xu Ning waved his hand, and three items flew over, landing in Miao Yunyi's arms.
Xu Ning then pushed Miao Yunyi off the mountain peak. "Go!"
After getting rid of his master, the entire Grand Elder Peak finally beca quiet, and Xu Ning returned to his peaceful life.
In the following years, Miao Yunyi would co to Xu Ning's place every five years or so to refine pills, claiming that Xu Ning's success rate was higher.
And what Xu Ning couldn't refute was that Miao Yunyi's success rate with him was indeed high. Ugh! That damned success rate.
Along the way, Xu Ning's fifth senior sister would occasionally visit and chat with him.
After confirming that this fifth senior sister didn't have any romantic feelings for him, Xu Ning didn't refuse her too much.
Also frequently visiting were Su Yufan and Xia Yuxue, the two holy sons and daughters of the Ice and Snow Sect.
However, Xu Ning always felt that Xia Yuxue was interested in him. Every ti she looked at him, her gaze felt sticky.
This was not a good sign.
If he didn't have other things to do, Xu Ning would probably have packed his things and run away. He wondered what it was about him that attracted this Holy Maiden. He could change it, couldn't he?
Amidst this relentless harassnt, Xu Ning struggled to survive for fifty years.
One day, Xu Ning was cultivating in his thatched hut when his spiritual energy suddenly fluctuated, constantly swirling and leaping, then forming a terrifying vortex of spiritual energy throughout the hut.
After a long ti, the vortex shrank, finally entering Xu Ning's body completely.
Suddenly opening his eyes, Xu Ning's eyes shimred with spiritual energy.
"Finally, mid-Foundation Establishnt!"
Reaching mid-Foundation Establishnt in a hundred years was considered fast for Xu Ning, a Supre Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Of course, this was also related to Xu Ning's consistent use of legendary-grade Yuan Power Pills for cultivation.
To reach late-Foundation Establishnt, continuing to use legendary-grade Yuan Power Pills, Xu Ning estimated it would take two hundred years.
That's right, double the ti.
To accelerate this process, Xu Ning needed divine-grade Yuan Power Pills.
However, producing divine-grade Yuan Power Pills was currently too difficult.
The spirit fields Xu Ning possessed were all top-grade, occasionally yielding legendary-quality spiritual herbs, just enough for his usual use in refining legendary Yuan Power Pills.
Therefore, he simply didn't have any extra legendary herbs to upgrade Yuan Power Pills to divine grade.
Unless Xu Ning stopped refining and using legendary herbs for decades or even centuries, saving them for upgrading Yuan Power Pills, he might be able to upgrade one pill.
After much thought, Xu Ning decided to wait until all his spirit fields were upgraded to the Yuan-grade legendary level before proceeding.
Once Luo Xiu and the others ford their cores, Xu Ning decided to begin his major undertaking. Otherwise, his cultivation resources wouldn't keep up.
Just as Xu Ning was pondering this, his junior brother Xiao Ze's voice ca from outside. "Senior brother, Master is dying!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ning quickly got up and opened the door, just in ti to see his junior brother Xiao Ze standing anxiously outside.
Xu Ning said, "Let's go, junior brother!"
Xiao Ze nodded, and together with Xu Ning, they took to the air, heading towards the Sect Master Peak.
Behind the main hall of the Sect Master Peak was a backyard.
Qi Ruifeng lay on a recliner under the eaves, calmly watching the snowflakes falling in the courtyard.
Soon, two figures descended. It was Xu Ning and Xiao Ze, the two brothers.
"You've co!" Qi Ruifeng's voice was unusually calm.
Xu Ning quickly stepped forward. "Master!"
Qi Ruifeng said, "I've told your junior brother everything I needed to say. Xiao Ze, you go out first. I have sothing to say to your senior brother!"
Xiao Ze nodded and flew away.
Qi Ruifeng then looked at Xu Ning. "Disciple, I'm a little worried about you. You're a Divine-grade Foundation Establishnt cultivator. You can inherit the legacy!"
Xu Ning said, "Master, I know what you're worried about. After you leave, I'll leave too, and I won't cause any trouble for the Tiancheng Sect!"
Qi Ruifeng said, "You're the most sensible one! Actually, I've been worrying unnecessarily!"
Xu Ning sighed. "It's also because I'm too useless, with such low strength. Otherwise, I would have made sure Master lived longer so you could worry about more!"
Qi Ruifeng said, "I'm tired too! I don't have that much energy to worry about your affairs!"
Xu Ning sighed after hearing this and remained silent.
The snowflakes suddenly grew larger, and influenced by the wind, they fell towards Xu Ning and Qi Ruifeng under the eaves.
