Seeing this, Ji Ziyue turned to Azure Bamboo's children and said, "Azure Bamboo, you two should arrange for someone to guard here. No one is allowed to disturb Wang Yi."
"Yes, sister!" Azure Bamboo's children replied.
"Hehe, great! Without those old folks around, I can also get the Breaking Nirvana Pill. When father and elder brother return and see me breaking through the Gaze of the Abyss, they will probably be overjoyed," Ji Ziyue said with a sly smile. "Since Wang Yi is related to Dan Valley, he must not be an ordinary person. Meilan, take Wang Yi's portrait and investigate who exactly he is."
"Yes, sister!" Meilan bowed.
After everything was arranged, Ji Ziyue left the Alchemy Room with satisfaction.
At the same time, Ji Ziyue had brought back a seventh-rank alchemist, and under Ji Chen's deliberate promotion, almost everyone in the Ji Family knew about it.
In the Ji Family's Alchemy Pavilion, there were about ten elderly men seated.
These individuals wore silver robes and had a piece of white jade at their waists, engraved with the three characters "Alchemist." Below these characters was a character representing their identity as alchemists of the Ji Family.
"I heard that the person sister brought back is only in his twenties but is already a sixth-rank alchemist and can refine the Breaking Nirvana Pill," said a Half-Century Elder with a gaunt face and high cheekbones in a low voice. "Most importantly, this person possesses Dan Gu Ling!"
"I have also heard about this matter. This person's name is Wang Yi; he is a sixth-rank alchemist. Sister sought him out specifically to refine the Breaking Nirvana Pill," said a tall elder with broad shoulders in a deep voice.
"Hmph, all of this is your fault. If it weren't for you all, sister wouldn't have had to go out personally to find some Alchemy Room," said an elderly man in silver robes sitting at the top with a cold glance at everyone. "If this gets out, people will think we old folks are just eating our fill and can't even refine a single Breaking Nirvana Pill."
This man was Wang Yun, the chief alchemist of the Ji Family, an eighth-rank alchemist at the Late Stage of Insight cultivation level, someone even Ji Yongtai would respect.
In the entire Yuan Continent, eighth-rank alchemists were extremely rare and few in number.
"Elder Wang, we can't be blamed for this. It was sister who forced us to refine the Breaking Nirvana Pill. But you know that without the family head's order, we cannot engage in Alchemy," said an elder with a horse-like face distressedly. "We have already told sister to let him wait patiently for the family head to return, but you know how sister is; she simply cannot wait and went out personally to look for an alchemist."
"Hmph, enough! The situation has come to this; it’s pointless for you to shirk responsibility," Wang Yun waved his hand. "Since sister has brought this young man named Wang Yi here, let her handle it."
"Elder Wang, this Wang Yi is only in his twenties and is already a Sixth-Rank Alchemist. Do you really believe that? And he also possesses Dan Gu Ling," Half-Century Elder asked doubtfully.
"What do you want?" Wang Yun frowned and asked.
"I wonder if this person is from Dan Valley. Even if not, there must be a significant connection between him and Dan Valley," Half-Century Elder replied.
"Hmph, you all should focus on Alchemy and not bring this up again," Wang Yun snorted and said, "Do you think someone who can become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist at this age has a simple background? Although he may seem lacking in some aspects, the forces behind him are likely not far from the Ji Family. You'd best not provoke him; otherwise, even I wouldn't be able to bear the consequences."
"Wang Lao, is it that serious?" Half-Century Elder asked with a frown.
"Regardless of his identity, just don't provoke him actively," Wang Yun said.
Upon hearing this, everyone in the Alchemy Room nodded. After all, a young man who could become a Sixth-Rank Alchemist before turning twenty had an unimaginable future, and it would be best to befriend him.
In the Alchemy Room, there was an Azure Cauldron, which was the Void Cauldron.
Wang Yi sat cross-legged on a cushion, occasionally tossing in spirit herbs. With the spirit herbs provided by Ji Ziyue, he could afford to use them freely.
Seven hours passed, and Wang Yi's Alchemy skills improved dramatically. By the fifth hour, Wang Yi began refining the Breaking Nirvana Pill. Ji Ziyue was worried about the low success rate, so she prepared enough materials for thirty pills, hoping that Wang Yi could successfully refine at least one. After all, every Alchemist knows that the higher the grade of the pill, the lower the success rate.
Especially for pills above the fifth grade, achieving a one in ten success rate is already considered quite good, while the success rate for sixth-grade pills is even lower.
This is why a Sixth-Rank Alchemist is referred to as a high-level Alchemist.
The sixth grade is a critical point; tens of thousands of fifth-grade Alchemists are stuck at this stage and cannot become Sixth-Rank Alchemists. This is not only a requirement for the soul of the Alchemist but also a harsh standard for them.
However, breaking through to the sixth grade brings obvious benefits; wherever one goes, they will be respected and referred to as a master.
In all of Zhongzhou, there are definitely no more than two hundred Sixth-Rank Alchemists, with only a few dozen seventh-grade Alchemists and no more than ten eighth-grade Alchemists.
From this, one can imagine how rare high-level Alchemists are.
As Wang Yi tossed one spirit herb after another into the Void Cauldron, sounds of melting echoed throughout the room, and Wang Yi's focus became increasingly intense.
He discovered that his Soul Power was becoming stronger as the level of Alchemy increased, which made him very happy, as having strong Soul Power was certainly a good thing.
In the hall of the Alchemy Pavilion, there stood a Half-Century Elder, whose sharp gaze occasionally glanced towards the Alchemy Room where Wang Yi was located.
"Elder Yuan, are you waiting for Wang Yi for something?" Azure Bamboo asked in confusion.
"The old man wants to see if his identity as a Sixth-Rank Alchemist is genuine. If he deceives my sister, I will teach him a lesson on her behalf," Elder Yuan said with a glint in his eyes. Seeing Azure Bamboo's confusion, he immediately adopted a serious expression.
"Oh," Azure Bamboo replied, dragging out her words. "Elder Yuan, don't worry. If he dares to deceive my sister, I will teach him a lesson myself."
"Azure Bamboo, you are my sister's personal maid. Can you tell me how you met this Wang Yi?" Elder Yuan asked casually.
"Myself and Meilan were accompanying my sister in search of an Alchemist when we encountered Wang Yi while passing through a desolate mountain," Azure Bamboo explained.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan furrowed his brows slightly and nodded gently without continuing the conversation.
Seeing this, Azure Bamboo did not say much more.
After a tea break, a figure emerged from the Alchemy Room—it was Wang Yi.
"Miss Azure Bamboo, thank you for your patience," Wang Yi said with a smile.
"Wang Yi, I wonder if you have finished refining the elixir?" Azure Bamboo asked.
"Here you go," Wang Yi replied with a calm smile, taking out a blue bottle from his Storage Ring and handing it to Azure Bamboo. "As promised, the Breaking Nirvana Pill has been successfully refined."
"That's wonderful!" Azure Bamboo exclaimed, her face quickly lighting up with joy.
Just as she was about to take the Potion Bottle, Elder Yuan interjected, "Breaking Nirvana Pill? Let me take a look." He reached out his hand as he spoke.
"Who are you?" Wang Yi retracted the Potion Bottle and coldly looked at Elder Yuan. He said bluntly, "The Breaking Nirvana Pill is something Sister Ji asked me to refine. How can just anyone look at it? Besides, do you even have the qualifications to see it?"
"Child, I am an Elder of the Ji Family's Alchemy division. Do you have the qualifications for this?" Elder Yuan's expression turned cold as he spoke disdainfully.
"You do, but I do not. If you want to see the pills I, Wang Yi, have refined, even the King himself does not have that qualification." A cold smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yi's mouth as he handed the pill to Azure Bamboo, saying, "Take it to Sister Ji."
"Yes!" Azure Bamboo took the Potion Bottle and was about to leave when she heard Elder Yuan say, "Wait!"
Then, he fixed his gaze on Wang Yi and said, "Child, I now suspect your identity. There may be issues with the pills you refined. If Sister Ji takes them and something goes wrong, who will take responsibility?"
"What issues? Elder Yuan, what problems are there with this pill?" Azure Bamboo asked in confusion.
"Azure Bamboo, I sent someone to Dan Valley to check his identity. No one in Dan Valley knows anyone named Wang Yi. I believe his identity is fabricated to deceive Sister Ji and infiltrate the Ji Family with ulterior motives," Elder Yuan declared with righteous indignation. "I suggest we immediately capture him and wait for the family head to return for judgment."
"Ah, is this true?" Azure Bamboo exclaimed. "Sister also sent me to check his identity, and I couldn't find anyone named Wang Yi either."
"Hmph, Child, do you still want to argue?" Elder Yuan pointed at Wang Yi and shouted sternly.
"What do you want?" Wang Yi replied coldly. Even a clay figurine has some fire; this old man had provoked Wang Yi's anger multiple times.
"Hmph, what I want is..." Elder Yuan said coldly.
"Stop!" At that moment, Ji Ziyue and Meilan walked over. Ji Ziyue looked at Wang Yi and asked, "What happened?"
"Sister, this old man suspects that Wang Yi has no connection with Dan Valley. He is deliberately trying to get close to you to infiltrate the Ji Family," Elder Yuan said respectfully.
"Elder Yuan, it is not your place to interfere in Wang Yi's identity. You may leave," Ji Ziyue said to Elder Yuan with an unhappy expression and waved her hand.
"Here, this is the Breaking Nirvana Pill refined by Wang Yi." Azure Bamboo handed the Potion Bottle to Ji Ziyue respectfully.
"Oh, that's wonderful." Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue's beautiful eyes lit up as she reached for the bottle.
"Sister, stop!" Elder Yuan urgently called out.
“Elder Yuan, what do you want?” Ji Ziyue frowned.
“Sister, I am doing this for your own good. Since Wang Yi has a close relationship with Dan Valley, then let him show me the Dan Gu Ling. I have seen the Dan Gu Ling before and can tell its authenticity at a glance,” Elder Yuan said, sensing the slight anger in Ji Ziyue's words and hurriedly bowed.
“You…” Ji Ziyue looked at the stubborn Elder Yuan, her face turning pale with anger. Taking a deep breath, she turned to Wang Yi and said, “In that case, Wang Yi, you should show the Dan Gu Ling to Elder Yuan.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan coldly stared at Wang Yi and said, “Child, no matter what your intentions are for infiltrating the Ji Family, you cannot hide anything from me.”
Seeing this, Ji Ziyue furrowed her brows and looked at Wang Yi. She thought he would immediately take out the Dan Gu Ling, but to her surprise, Wang Yi coldly replied, “You are not worthy!” The three words were firm and unquestionable.
“Hmph, I guessed it right! What are your intentions for infiltrating the Ji Family?” Elder Yuan said knowingly.
Ignoring Elder Yuan's disgusting demeanor, Wang Yi said to Ji Ziyue, “Sister Ji, I have already perfected the Breaking Nirvana Pill. I will take my leave now.”
With that, he walked out of the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Wang Yi…” Ji Ziyue did not expect that Wang Yi would refuse so directly.
