Nangong Qingyue offers Gu Sheng a Qiankun Wooden Box containing her family's hidden treasures and a hidden treasure key as a deposit to avenge her family. Gu Sheng accepts the aura trace and sends the box to be inventoried, instructing Nangong Qingyue to wait for his decision. Meanwhile, Gu Sheng prepares to refine a Dispersion Pill for his disciple, Gu Yuanyuan, and encounters Tantai Xueling, who is visibly flustered when Gu Yuanyuan affectionately calls her 'Mistress'.

Gu Sheng ignored her and walked to the Pill Furnace, sitting cross-legged in front of it.

His mind moved slightly, True Yuan flowed at his fingertips, gently tapping the earth fire outlet beneath the Pill Furnace.

A surge of scorching earth fire burst out instantly, enveloping the base of the crimson Pill Furnace!

The temperature of the Pill Furnace rose rapidly, emitting a low hum.

Shadow quickly returned, presenting the Spiritual Medicine that Gu Sheng required one by one.

Without even a glance, Gu Sheng waved his wide sleeve, and all the Spiritual Medicine was lifted by an invisible hand, suspended in front of him.

His ten fingers danced like butterflies among flowers, sending streams of pure True Yuan into the Pill Furnace, controlling the temperature changes within.

At the same time, he multitasked, forming seals with his left hand to harness the power of the earth fire and temper the furnace body.

With his right hand, he seized a sprig of Withered and Flourishing Grass out of the air, his True Yuan transforming into an invisible blade, precisely cutting and removing impurities, leaving only the most essential part to be thrown into the Pill Furnace!

Hiss!

The essence of the Withered and Flourishing Grass fell into the scorching Pill Furnace, instantly turning into a wisp of blue smoke, exuding a rich aura of intertwined desolation and vitality.

Gu Sheng continued without pause, Transformation Fruit, Ice Heart Lotus, Soul-Attracting Flower...

Each Spiritual Medicine was swiftly processed in his hands, transformed into pure medicinal liquid or powder, and added into the Pill Furnace in a particular sequence and proportion.

The entire alchemy process flowed like running water, without the slightest delay.

Gu Sheng’s expression was focused, his eyes sharp like an eagle’s, precisely controlling the fusion and transformation of each medicinal property.

Inside the furnace, the medicinal liquid churned, with medicinal energies of different attributes colliding and merging, producing faint crackling sounds, and the medicinal fragrance in the air becoming increasingly rich and complex.

While performing alchemy, he split his concentration, observing the nearby Gu Yuanyuan.

Gu Yuanyuan sat cross-legged, eyes closed, her small face tight, with fine beads of sweat appearing on her forehead.

It was evident that she was trying her best to memorize the profound Cultivation Technique.

However, as time passed, Gu Sheng keenly noticed subtle changes in Gu Yuanyuan’s aura.

The True Yuan that was originally circulating according to the Basic Cultivation Technique seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, starting to flow on its own in an extremely slow, yet more mystical trajectory!

The dense Spiritual Energy around her was no longer passively absorbed but actively converging into her body in tiny threads!

A barely perceptible vortex of Spiritual Energy even gradually formed around her!

"The Mixed Element Spirit Body... truly extraordinary!"

Gu Sheng’s eyes shone brightly.

This "Mixed Element Qi Scripture" is a top-tier cultivation method passed down from ancient times, which has extremely high requirements for the cultivator’s physique.

Gu Yuanyuan had not even begun formal cultivation, yet just by memorizing the technique, her Mixed Element Spirit Body’s traits began to spontaneously resonate with the cultivation method and draw in nature’s spiritual energy!

Such talent could only be described as monstrous!

He no longer allowed himself to be distracted, refocused, fully immersing himself in the alchemy process.

Inside the Pill Furnace, the medicinal liquid churned, and under the catalysis of high temperature and True Yuan, it was undergoing its final transformation towards becoming a completed pill.

Outside Linyin Pavilion, on the streets of Underground City.

Tantai Xueling briskly walked out of Linyin Pavilion’s gates, the blush on her face not yet completely faded, resembling a light layer of rouge under the lamplight.

The blood-colored vine coiled around her arm seemed to sense the owner’s emotional fluctuation, twisting subtly.

"The mighty Linlang Pavilion Master, driven away by a little girl’s cry of ’Master’s wife’? This is unlike you."

A woman dressed in an elegant, informal silver palace gown stepped gracefully out of the shadows, her face wearing a subtly mocking smile.

Tantai Xueling’s steps came to an abrupt halt, abruptly turning around!

Her icy eyes shot out a cold gleam, a vast spiritual power as deep as an abyss and tangible as reality, like an invisible giant hammer, accompanied by freezing anger, struck fiercely towards the woman in the silver gown!

The air seemed to solidify! An invisible spiritual storm erupted instantly!

The smile on the silver-gown woman’s face froze suddenly, and the expressions of the two guards behind her changed dramatically; they instinctively tried to step forward but were pushed several steps back by an invisible force!

The silver-gown woman let out a muffled groan, her body slightly swaying imperceptibly, her eyes filled with astonishment, which then turned into seriousness.

A soft, gentle light emerged around her, quietly dissolving the violent spiritual impact.

"Xueling, after so many years, your spiritual power... has become even more domineering."

The silver-gown woman’s voice still carried authority but with less mockery and more seriousness.

Tantai Xueling looked at her coldly, her voice like frozen ice.

"Tantai Bingtang, my affairs are not for you to comment on. Don’t dare to speak nonsense, or I won’t consider the last bit of family ties!"

"Family ties?"

Tantai Bingtang, this woman from the Tantai Family in Central Province, curved her lips into a complex smile.

"Between you and me, how much sentiment is there to speak of? If it weren’t for that item, I wouldn’t have set foot in this East Desolation land."

She paused, her gaze becoming sharp.

"However, since you mentioned family ties... let me get to the point. Venerable Ming River, originally known as Zhao Wuming.

Seventeen hundred years ago, he was sealed in the depths of the ’Burial God Abyss’ in the Extreme North of East Desolation by the Dean of the Great Wilderness Holy Academy and several Holy Land experts using the ’Circulation Stars Formation’! Do you know of this?"

Tantai Xueling’s gaze slightly focused, but she did not reply.

Tantai Bingtang continued.

"Before he was sealed, this person had already planned deeply! Not only did he place Xiao Beixuan as a chess piece in the Wuya Sect, but he also planted dark agents within the Holy Academy and several other major sects!

These dark agents are like cancer, deeply hidden and ready to erupt at any moment! This is also why the family sent us sisters to the East Desolation!"
