Wen Ping focused on cultivation and improved his techniques, while his mother made rapid progress in alchemy. Meanwhile, thirteen new members joined the sect, including several promising talents. Elder You Yue then returned, bringing Qianqiu Yue, a powerful Five-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan and former Tributor of Zeming Palace. Upon learning of Wen Ping's incredible strength, Qianqiu Yue immediately pledged her loyalty. News then broke that Zeming Palace had been completely destroyed.

"Elder Chen, what’s going on?"

You Yue quickly asked.

Although she had been disappointed with most of the people in Zeming Palace, like Qianqiu Yue, she wasn’t completely without feelings for Zeming Palace.

Chen Xie continued, "Last night, four unknown King-Sealing Experts launched a surprise attack on Zeming Palace. Zeming Palace Master Zhuo Spring rose to resist, fighting four by himself, but he was ultimately outnumbered and killed. He could have escaped, but he didn’t."

"I didn’t expect someone like him to choose to live and die with Zeming Palace." After hearing Chen Xie’s words, You Yue was silent for a long time before she slowly spoke, her emotions quite complex.

"Yes, who would’ve thought that someone like him would choose to live and die with Zeming Palace." Qianqiu Yue also solemnly sighed and continued to ask, "Elder Chen, hasn’t Listening Pavilion managed to find out who those four King-Sealing Experts were?"

"They’ll definitely find out, but it will take time. However, there’s no need to investigate really; either they’re those royal family sealed kings’ people or the Sovereign’s people. Few would dare to swallow Zeming Palace after the fall of Prince Yeze. It can only be You Country’s royal family! As for Thousand Crafts Sect, if they wanted to completely eradicate Zeming Palace, they would have done so long ago; why wait until now?"

Chen Xie analyzed, his gaze passing over You Yue and resting on Wen Ping.

Because he didn’t see any surprise on his Sect Leader’s face, as if he had known this news all along.

However, Wen Ping didn’t say much about it, turned and walked away, leaving behind a seemingly ordinary but significant phrase, "Alright, go about your own business. Cultivate diligently and don’t let Zeming Palace’s fate become written on the Immortal Sect in the future."

"Yes!"

The crowd responded in unison.

Chen Xie didn’t continue to say much either, knowing that the Sect Leader must have had prior knowledge.

After Wen Ping left, he went straight to Immortal Pu Garden. The fall of Zeming Palace taught him a lesson: relying on anyone is not as good as relying on oneself.

Being strong oneself is truly being strong.

Of course.

This was a principle he had understood long ago.

The only thing Wen Ping didn’t expect was that for Zeming Palace, Prince Longyang actually teamed up with others. Four King-Sealing Experts in total, indicating that the team-up involved more than one or two people. Probably, over half of the six royal sealed kings allied with Prince Longyang.

This is the You Country’s royal family.

They contend, they seize, but the guns are always pointed outwards.

In this struggle for the Sovereign’s position, the sacrificed are never from the royal family.

After gathering his thoughts, Wen Ping arrived at Pill Tower. Because the system had just informed him that the Immortal Sect’s first furnace and second furnace of elixirs were simultaneously refined successfully.

Though they’re only Seventh Grade.

When Wen’s father and mother simultaneously stepped out from Pill Tower, each holding a brocade box containing the elixirs.

Seeing their son arrive, both were very excited, pulling Wen Ping straight to Free Spirit Residence. After formally sitting down at Free Spirit Residence, they opened the brocade boxes.

Wen’s mother’s brocade box opened, and a rich fragrance of elixirs wafted out freely. That fresh scent made Wen Ping feel refreshed with just a sniff.

Wen’s mother promptly explained, "This is a Seventh Grade raw flesh pill; currently, I can form five pills in one furnace. Each one can completely heal serious injuries of a Profound Realm cultivator in a very short time. As long as the Spirit Body injury does not surpass seventy percent, it can be treated!"

"Not bad."

Wen Ping praised.

Even though this item was of no use to him, it was indeed a good start.

Wen’s father couldn’t wait to open his brocade box, but upon opening it, it emitted thick black mist with a strange smell.

"This is the Body Transformation Pill, Seventh Grade. Just one is enough to instantly kill multiple Upper Realm Profound cultivators; their Spirit Bodies will be completely destroyed. Plus, the usage method is simple, just activate it with Vein Qi and throw it out."

After that, Wen Ping was stunned.

He didn’t know what to say.

Were his parents going to walk different paths?

One refines elixirs to aid cultivation.

One refines poison pills to kill.

"Father, did Mother know about your poison pill refinement before?"

Wen’s mother was not surprised, "I knew; your father discussed it with me before. We found that an alchemist can walk two paths, so why don’t we each choose one."

"Alright."

Since his parents had already made this decision.

He didn’t want to interfere either.

"Father, Mother, you continue then. By the way, I’ll send a few people to Immortal Pu Garden later to help you plant celestial materials and medicinal herbs, so you can focus on alchemy in the future." Having said that, Wen Ping bid farewell to his parents and went to Jianmu Forest to select a few people to go to Immortal Pu Garden.

Upon hearing there was a new task, the Red-eyed Giant Ape naturally volunteered.

Wen Ping certainly wouldn’t refuse, considering that this guy was an old acquaintance with his mother.

"Later, you choose three people and keep heading to the back mountain of the Immortal Sect, go to the high tower in the mountain; someone will arrange tasks for you there."

Saying that, Wen Ping left directly.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape was delighted, then his gaze swept over his tree-planting team.

Many people promptly volunteered to follow the Red-eyed Giant Ape because they knew that whatever was to be done must be better than planting trees.

The Red-eyed Giant Ape’s glance over them paused on those who were more comfortable to look at daily.

Meanwhile, Wen Ping returned to Tingyu Pavilion to continue cultivating and wait for Listening Pavilion’s successful upgrade. After a brief wait, Listening Pavilion finally upgraded successfully.
