The Soul Refining Pill comes in various grades, from low to high.
Naturally, the higher the grade of the Soul Refining Pill, the more valuable it is.
The Ninth-Rank High-Level Soul Refining Pill is already an extremely precious item. After all, the Tenth-Grade Soul Refining Pill is exceedingly rare; whenever one appears, it becomes a coveted prize among all factions in the Central Domain. Thus, the Ninth-Rank High-Level Soul Refining Pill can already ignite fierce competition in the Central Domain. Many high-ranking members of Major Forces possess strong abilities themselves, but their descendants may not be as capable. A high-grade Soul Refining Pill can provide those truly inept second-generation heirs with some means of self-protection, which is why Soul Refining Pills have always been considered treasures with a strong market.
For the Outstanding individuals, Soul Refining Pills are merely a trivial product; however, for those less gifted, they hold significant value.
Outstanding individuals are, after all, a minority. The vast majority need the assistance of pills to cultivate, especially the youth from Major Forces, who have an even stronger demand for Material Treasures. Consequently, a decent-grade Soul Refining Pill can be worth its weight in gold.
But that was not what shocked everyone; they were astonished that the Soul Refining Pill had been refined by an elder who was only at the second level of Earth Soul Realm.
To concoct a Ninth-Rank High-Level Soul Refining Pill, one would typically need to be a high-level Alchemist corresponding to the Earth Soul Realm, right?
Although an Alchemist at the second level of Earth Soul Realm is already quite impressive—even among Nine-Rank Sects, such an Alchemist holds significant status—finding an Alchemist at the Human Soul Realm in an ordinary Eighth-Rank Force is akin to seeking a miracle.
"Can an Alchemist at the second level of Earth Soul Realm really refine Ninth-Rank High-Level pills?"
"Logically speaking, absolutely not. However, some talented Alchemists possess a Martial Soul that is essential for Alchemy—essentially their own Alchemy furnace. Such innate Martial Souls allow them to adeptly refine pills beyond their own cultivation level."
"Does that senior possess such a Cauldron?"
"I don't know; who can say?"
In response to the skepticism, the Pharmaceutical Sovereign grinned and chuckled. He then silently recited a few incantations, and a large cauldron appeared before everyone’s eyes. This cauldron was no ordinary medicinal cauldron; it was formed from condensed Soul Power and was incredibly precious. As soon as it appeared, the crowd erupted in excitement once again.
Now they finally understood: whatever they speculated came true. An Alchemist capable of refining pills corresponding to high-level Earth Soul Realm at the Initial Stage of Earth Soul Realm could not rely on an ordinary medicinal cauldron but rather on an innate Alchemy Martial Soul!
Only one person in the entire Central Domain possesses such a Martial Soul, and that is from the Fire Sect!
"Pharmaceutical Sovereign" spoke loudly, "I am an Alchemist of the Peach Blossom Sect, and I am here to announce that I am in need of a disciple. My requirement is that the candidate must be a bearer of a medicinal cauldron Martial Soul, or at the very least, someone who has condensed two or more Alchemy cauldron Martial Souls as a Soul Warrior. If any of you possess such talent, you may join our Peach Blossom Sect. We will provide endless resources, and I will impart all my Alchemy skills without reservation. You may have doubts, considering there are other Alchemists like me in the Central Domain, but I assure you that my disciples will receive all my Alchemy techniques; this is my personal guarantee. As the saying goes, 'Teaching a disciple can lead to the master starving,' but such a situation will not occur under my guidance."
The Pharmaceutical Sovereign's kind and gentle gaze swept across the crowd as he continued, "As for us Three Elders of the Peach Blossom Sect, my elder brother Han Mang is Elder Xi of the Peach Blossom Sect and is well-versed in formations. He is also seeking disciples, with the condition that they must possess Formation Assignment abilities. My Second Brother Han Che cultivates an Ice-type Martial Soul and requires his disciples to have either a Water Soul or Ice Soul, or all their Martial Souls must belong to the Water or Ice categories."
"We Three Elders are open to accepting disciples; as long as you meet our conditions, you can become one of us. Of course, those who do not meet such stringent requirements can still join the Peach Blossom Sect. If they perform well enough, we may consider accepting them as disciples."
The Pharmaceutical Sovereign had shared so much more than Han Mang had previously expressed.
Alchemists held a high status in the Soul World, enjoying unparalleled privileges. The kind demeanor of the Pharmaceutical Sovereign made his words particularly fitting.
The crowd murmured in astonishment.
"Their requirements for disciples are indeed high!"
"Isn't that obvious? To directly become a disciple of one of the three great elders of the Peach Blossom Sect—how could the conditions not be high? In my opinion, those who can meet such criteria are exceedingly rare. It might be better to first join the Peach Blossom Sect as a disciple; if one performs well and gets lucky, they might become an elder's disciple. After all, the Peach Blossom Sect is still a newly established Cloud Spirit Sect with not too many disciples; this is our golden opportunity."
"That’s true..."
"But who is their sect leader? They aren't all elders of the Peach Blossom Sect."
"Could it be that remarkable person from earlier?"
"It’s quite possible! If it really is him, then it won't be long before the Peach Blossom Sect becomes as prominent as the Fire Sect within the Cloud Spirit Sect."
"The future of the Peach Blossom Sect is limitless! Once they establish themselves, I must be among the first to become a disciple."
"Nonsense! Who do you think you are? Let me tell you, I will be the first disciple of the Peach Blossom Sect! Don’t even think about competing with me."
"Cut..."
Amidst the bustling discussions, the Peach Blossom Sect was elevated to a pedestal. The chatter showed no signs of stopping; the emergence of Donghua served as a massive advertisement for the Peach Blossom Sect. As news of the events in Maguan City gradually spread to the Chaos Realm, it became clear that once established, the Peach Blossom Sect would undoubtedly become the premier Cloud Spirit Sect in the Chaos Realm. Those four opposing factions against the establishment of the Peach Blossom Sect were bound to face dire consequences.
"Chieftain Chu, I wonder if you can produce a Ninth-Rank High-Level pill?" The Pharmaceutical Sovereign politely clasped his fists and inquired of Chu Liuxiang.
Chu Liuxiang smiled wryly and shook his head. He could indeed procure a Ninth-Rank High-Level pill; with Daxing Gate's financial resources, they wouldn't lack even a single Ninth-Rank High-Level pill. In fact, the Ninth-Rank High-Level pills from Daxing Gate were worth more than the Soul Refining Pill crafted by the Pharmaceutical Sovereign himself. However, could he actually present one?
The pills crafted by others were genuine products of their own making, while his would be purchased. The difference in quality was evident. Although presenting one would still count as a victory due to its higher grade, did he dare to do so?
Gazing at the distant perilous peak that had been cleaved in two, Chu Liuxiang swallowed hard. No way!
"Since I was planning to lose anyway, what difference does it make if I win? The people of Peach Blossom Sect are formidable, especially with that Peerless Strongman backing them. If they truly came to our Daxing Gate, could we hold our ground against them? Sigh, it's better for them to establish themselves sooner rather than later. That Peerless Strongman owes me a favor; Daxing Gate's position would then be secure. No matter how powerful the Peach Blossom Sect becomes, our performance today shouldn't provoke them into turning against us later. Those four factions clamoring for their downfall are truly tragic."
Upon reflection, Chu Liuxiang realized that the establishment of the Peach Blossom Sect would indeed benefit him. He ceased his musings and clasped his fists in concession, saying, "Esteemed seniors, in this literary duel, our Daxing Gate has lost. According to our agreement, you may freely choose a mountain within Daxing Gate's territory for your establishment. We wholeheartedly welcome it without any objections."
"Then thank you, Chieftain Chu. We shall take our leave."
Han Mang smiled and glanced toward Wei Chen before waving his hand. In an instant, an array was set up, and the six of them vanished from the mountaintop.
Witnessing this scene left everyone convinced of the Pharmaceutical Sovereign's words.
That Senior Han Mang was indeed a Formation Master!
With such casual skill displayed, it left everyone in awe.
"The array mastery of that senior is truly rare. With him around and that Peerless Strongman backing them up, supported by formidable martial prowess and formations, the Peach Blossom Sect will stand unyielding."
"Of course, we will keep a close eye on it. When the Peach Blossom Sect starts recruiting disciples, we will go sign up."
"Take a look in the mirror; with your level of skill, you don't even qualify to be a doorkeeper."
...
As the crowd gradually dispersed, only Wei Chen and his four companions remained on the mountaintop.
"They are all my seniors from the Eastern Region. Master, let's go find them," Wei Chen asked Donghua.
Donghua nodded and said, "I have no plans of my own. Wherever you go, I will follow you. It's that simple."
Wei Chen hesitated for a moment before starting to set up a formation. Before leaving, Han Mang had left behind a formation reference point intentionally for Wei Chen, indicating that he wanted Wei Chen to use the formation to find him. If it weren't intentional, Han Mang, being as clever as he was, would never have left any formation reference behind.
Han Mang and his group left in just a few seconds, while Wei Chen, unfamiliar with the formation, took a full quarter of an hour to perfect it.
With a flash of white light, Wei Chen and his companions appeared in a new location—a standalone courtyard on the outskirts of Daxing City.
As soon as Wei Chen appeared, he saw a group of familiar faces.
Han Mang, Han Che, Pharmaceutical Sovereign, Ginger Tooth, Mu Yang, Musa—no need to mention them—Jiang Langying wasn't looking too good either. Mu Qingyan, Weirou, and Snow Cicada were all there as well, their beautiful eyes fixed on Wei Chen with a hint of moisture.
"You finally made it," Weirou said lightly.
"Sister Weirou! Hehe, how have you been lately?" Wei Chen stepped forward and gave Weirou a big hug. Without waiting for her response, he pulled Snow Cicada into his embrace and affectionately held her for a moment before hugging Mu Qingyan right in front of Ginger Tooth and Jiang Langying. Among these three women, it was Mu Qingyan that Wei Chen missed the most.
After all, within Mu Qingyan's body resided the Demon Lotus Petal; that kind of allure was unmatched by any other woman.
"You still dare to come? I thought you were dead," Mu Qingyan pouted.
"Yen Er, how can you say such ominous things?" Jiang Langying laughed.
"Well, it's true. It's been almost a year with no news..."
Mu Qingyan looked extremely forlorn, her eyes red and misty.
Weirou said, "Wei Chen, where have you been? Why did it take you so long?"
"It's a long story; let's talk about it later."
After checking on his woman, Wei Chen approached Han Mang and the others, greeting each of them before saying, "Why are you all so reckless? Challenging the people from Daxing Gate? If we lose, won't we really become guest elders of Daxing Gate?"
"This is unavoidable. The Chaos Realm is dominated by the Five Major Forces, and the other four Major Forces would love nothing more than to wipe us out. Only Daxing Gate has given us this Last Chance opportunity. Even if the chance is slim, we must seize it," Han Mang said with a bitter smile.
Han Che chuckled, "But now it's good; the Peach Blossom Sect's reputation has been established. It's free advertising—why not take advantage of it?"
With that, Han Che and the others exchanged glances and quietly walked up to Donghua, kneeling in unison.
"Greetings, senior!"
