"That was quite reckless of him, but I can't help but admire him!" the Grand Elder reflected.
Indeed, it was true that they had won, and the Grand Elder had never expected Li Rui to seriously injure Yan Xiao! This injury would likely take at least half a month to heal, and full recovery would require at least six months.
He was also quite frustrated; Li Rui's body seemed as if it were made of iron. Perhaps only Li Rui himself knew the condition inside his body, as the external injuries were minimal.
Moreover, after such a battle, it seemed that Li Rui's Cleansing the Marrow stage was on the verge of a breakthrough, giving off a faint sense of breaking through a bottleneck. The upcoming time would need to be spent on proper recovery.
However, the current situation was quite dire; in half a month, there would be the Danhui, and this time, the Danhui was crucial for the survival of the Tai Xuan Sect!
The Grand Elder sighed and then turned to leave.
Li Rui might not know that during his unconsciousness, Ruo Xin had been taking care of him!
"Are you ever going to wake up? I really found you a bit unpleasant when I first saw you, but who knew I would suddenly come to like you? And..." If Li Rui heard these mushy words, he would surely become narcissistic. Fortunately, he was just in a coma.
At the same time, it seemed that the Phoenix Chick Dan within his body was starting to take effect. A violent source of energy was forcefully repairing Li Rui's internal organs and had even changed his vital energy several times, seemingly dissatisfied with his current physique.
Li Rui's condition was indeed very uncomfortable; being in a coma and wanting to shout but being unable to was the most awkward part.
He didn't even know how long he had been unconscious; the only thing he knew was that he heard a door close when he woke up.
The first thing he saw was Ruo Xin.
"What happened? How long have I been unconscious? Have you been taking care of me all this time, my wife?" Li Rui couldn't help but ask.
This time, Ruo Xin did not resist; she nodded repeatedly and explained that she had been doing everything by herself.
"Thank you for your hard work." Li Rui reached out to pat Ruo Xin's head, saying some comforting words. To others, Ruo Xin might think these words were... she didn't know how to describe it, but coming from Li Rui's mouth felt sweet.
"Help me up."
After sitting up, Li Rui began to inquire about the recent situation. From the reactions of the Grand Elder and the crazy old man, it seemed that something had happened in the sect. However, looking at Ruo Xin and the others, they appeared to be completely unaware of the matter.
"The Grand Elder came by just now, sighed, and then left."
"How long have I been unconscious?" Li Rui frowned and asked.
"About a month, but it shouldn't be quite that long."
Li Rui seemed to recall something, unable to control his injuries, and grabbed Ruo Xin's hand before rushing out.
In just three steps, he saw the Grand Elder sitting on a stone chair in a daze, seemingly lost in thought.
"Grand Elder!" Li Rui called out repeatedly.
"You... are awake! It's good that you're awake." For some reason, upon seeing Li Rui awake, the Grand Elder felt a sudden sense of hope, though his words were still fragmented.
"Wasn't there supposed to be an alchemy conference? Is there any news about it?" Li Rui leaned closer to the Grand Elder's ear.
The Grand Elder sighed repeatedly, seemingly lost in thought and appearing quite depressed.
"Is something wrong with the sect? I'll take it all on; everything will be fine." Li Rui patted his chest confidently.
Little did they know, the words spoken by the Grand Elder startled the two present, leaving them completely confused about the current situation.
The Grand Elder glanced at Ruo Xin with a look that suggested he wanted to say something but ultimately swallowed his words.
He soon learned from the Grand Elder that only the champion of this alchemy conference could save the entire Tai Xuan Sect. This was not for any other reason, but because the external forces were eyeing this place too heavily.
"What? The Grand Helmsman has been killed? Is that absolutely certain?"
Li Rui could hardly believe everything the Grand Elder said; it seemed to come as a shock, and accepting it was truly difficult.
But that was not all. It appeared that there was some kind of secret within the sect, and after this alchemy conference, Li Rui would have to be involved in it and must take on the title of Grand Helmsman.
"Even if the Old Man kneels before you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Elder suddenly knelt down in front of Li Rui.
At that moment, Li Rui felt a weight in his heart and hurriedly helped him up. According to ancient sayings, when an elder kneels before a younger person, it shortens their lifespan! Li Rui could not bear that.
"Alright! I agree, but you must tell me everything that has happened."
The Grand Elder glanced at Ruo Xin beside Li Rui and then shook his head with a bitter smile.
Since the last Grand Helmsman of Tai Xuan Sect, more than fifty years had passed, and the previous Helmsman had also disappeared suddenly, leaving no clue as to who from the outside world was responsible for his death.
When the Grand Elder managed to gather some information, he couldn't help but furrow his brow.
"Beiming? What is that..." Li Rui was instantly confused and had no idea what the Grand Elder meant by Beiming.
However, Beiming was a powerful force, and it was a particularly terrifying organization. They liked to claim all sorts of strange things as their own and study their peculiar uses.
How powerful were they? Even those in the Realization Realm could hardly escape their grasp.
This... the Realization Realm! This realm is something that Li Rui has longed for but found unattainable. He never expected such a force to exist. According to the Grand Elder, isn't this force running rampant across the Six Cities and Sixteen States?
"Wrong! It should be said that they are dominating the entire region. It's not that no one dares to provoke them; it's that no one wants to stir up too much trouble."
"Then what does this have to do with the Alchemy Conference?" Li Rui frowned slightly.
"You don't understand. The identity of an Alchemist holds significant weight throughout the entire region. If a champion emerges, others will have to take us into consideration. When there are many strong individuals, they will think twice before acting against us."
Li Rui couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly. It was indeed true; if he possessed top-tier strength, it wouldn't just be Beiming—waving his hand or stomping his foot would cause earthquakes.
According to the Grand Elder, this time they must secure the championship. However, from his gaze, it was clear that this Alchemy Conference would not be as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"Indeed, a freak has emerged. You two should know someone named Dan Leng, right?"
Li Rui shook his head; he had never even heard of him, and he felt quite embarrassed when the Grand Elder asked him about it.
"Dan Leng? Is it him?" Ruo Xin frowned, seemingly recalling something.
