Originally, everything was smooth sailing for the five of them as they travelled through the mortal realms, killing demons and exterminating devils while doing good deeds. When they arrived at the Medicine King Valley, they discovered a ripe Dragon's whisker fruit, which was already at the late stage of the Aurous Core stage. When they reach the peak, eating this Dragon's whisker fruit would bring them to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, the Pill King Valley's people had appeared, injured Li Fu, and captured him. After ten days, Fourth Elder Zheng Long had successfully escaped under Li Fu's protection.

Within Pill King Valley, in a large hall, sat an old man in his sixties. His forehead was full of wrinkles and he wore a black daoist robe. There were eight more people below him, all in their early thirties, seven men and one woman.

This woman was extremely alluring. She was in her early twenties, slender and well-developed. Wearing revealing clothes, one would easily be able to imagine her beauty. This woman was the daughter of Pill King Valley's Valley Master, Qi Lan Lan.

Qi Lan said, "Father, how should we deal with those disciples from the Qing-Yun Sect?"

Qi Yun coughed dryly and said, "These disciples are not ordinary. Li Fu, who is in the Aurous Core stage, is the personal disciple of the Master of the Qing-Yun Sect. Now that I am old and have not broken through, I am afraid my time has come. If I can use this Li Fu and the Qing-Yun Sect to exchange for a Nascent Breaking Pill, I can break through within a year, and then have dozens of years of life left."

Qi Yun was already a cultivator at the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage, and he was at the end of his life. If he could break through within a year, he could live for dozens of more years, and no one would want to die. At the same time, Qi Yun was also an alchemist. Alchemists were different from alchemists. Alchemists were rare these days, and alchemists rose to prominence. Alchemists were different from alchemists.

Alchemists were only able to use alchemy pills to condense alchemy fire after reaching the Aurous Core stage. alchemists, on the other hand, could use alchemy pills to condense alchemy fire. What they refined were not alchemy fire but beast fire.

Demonic beasts would condense Demonic Cores when they reach Rank 3. As long as they had a fire attributed Demonic Beast Core, they could use their True Qi to stimulate the inner core, allowing them to condense Beast Flames for use in alchemy. Although using beast fire to refine pills wasn't as good as using pill fire, there were still a lot of pill refiners in the mainland and alchemists had already become the common choice of cultivators. The effects of a pill refined by an alchemist were far inferior to those refined by an alchemist.

"Master, why don't we use those few Clear Sky disciples to refine the medicine? We have more or less caught all of the demon beasts nearby, and only half of the customized batch of Thousand Volts Mountain pellets have been captured. If we don't catch any more demon beasts, I'm afraid it will delay the delivery of the goods."

Qi Yun frowned. As a first-rate power, there were alchemists in the sect, but this time, they were able to open the doors to the Thousand Volts Mountain, which required a lot of disciples. Body Transformation required a lot of level one pills, and Thousand Volts Mountain's own alchemists had no way to refine them, so they asked the Medicine Valley to order a batch of level one pills.

Medicine Valley's alchemy technology could be considered famous nearby. The valley had a unique alchemy technique, which was to take the blood and flesh of demon beasts, along with the corresponding spiritual herbs. The result was better than any normal alchemist's pills.

Cultivators all knew that demonic beasts were treasures. Blood, flesh, and bones were all good things. The stronger the demonic beast, the greater its value. Medicine God Valley was not a powerful valley, so Qi Yun's seven disciples were all Aurous Core stage cultivators. Adding Qi Lan Lan to that, there were eight of them.

Among the disciples under his command, only the eldest disciple, Hu Long, was a Grade Three Alchemist, the second disciple Xu Feng's third disciple, Xu Rong and his brother were both Grade Two Alchemists, the fourth disciple Tie Lin, the fifth disciple Xue Fang, the sixth disciple Zhou Ping, and the seventh disciple Lu Shan, although the four disciples were all Golden Core Realm alchemists, they were both Grade One alchemists. Qi Yun was the most proud of her, his daughter, Qi Lan Lan, had fire affinity spiritual roots, great talent in alchemy, and was also a level three alchemist. Qi Yun was the most proud of Qi Lan, having fire affinity spiritual roots, great talent in alchemy, and was also a level three alchemist.

Even though alchemists were popular, they could only become a sixth-grade alchemist in their entire lives when refining external things. If they wanted to advance, they wouldn't be able to do so by relying on external things.

Apothecaries were different. As long as one had sufficient talent, they could reach Grade Nine. This was the reason why alchemists were more popular than alchemists.

Qi Yun looked at his eldest disciple Hu Long and said, "What nonsense to cultivate, although my Medicine God Valley's alchemy skills are unique, they absolutely cannot be refined by cultivators. Back in the days when the ancestor created the Medicine King Valley, he set a sect rule that the disciples cannot use cultivators' flesh and blood to make medicine. As the eldest disciple of our sect, you must remember the sect rule very well."

A hint of sadness flashed across Hu Long's eyes and he said, "Yes, I will remember Master's teachings." Qi Yun snorted coldly and said, "Have you found any traces of that Level 3 demon?"

There are traces," Xu Feng said, stepping forward. "But just as we were about to succeed, we were intercepted by a mysterious cultivator." Speaking of a Rank 3 Great Demon, Xu Feng had a look of lingering fear on his face. Just three days ago, he and his junior brothers had captured a Rank 3 Demon Beast that they had never seen before, and just as they were about to succeed, they were saved by a young cultivator. That cultivator was also in the Aurous Core stage, and was indeed able to flatten the entire mountain with a single move.

Even if their master were to die, a peak Yuanying Stage cultivator would not have such destructive power. I've heard about you guys. It's good as long as you guys are fine. Alright, I'm tired. You can leave now. Lan'er, you stay. "

"After the seven disciples left, Qi Yun's tense face finally relaxed and revealed a kind smile. Lan'er, I'm afraid that my father's days are numbered, and my only concern is you. Remember, do not ever go investigate your mother's grudge. "

Although Qi Lan was usually pretty, but in front of Qi Yun, she was like a cute little rabbit.

"Father, what nonsense are you spouting? You still have a long time. As long as you are still alive, everything will be fine. "

Whenever she talked about Qi Lan Lan Lan's mother, she would feel sad. That was the most unforgettable thing in her life.

"Alright, I'm going to rest now. Oh right, I heard that Thousand Volts Mountain has hired a second tier alchemist. When the Thousand Volts Mountain pills are completed, I'll take you to visit him. Maybe he'll take you as his disciple."

"Aiya, daughter wants to stay with father."

"Alright, Lan'er has grown up. In the future, if you want to marry someone, you can't stay with me, this old man, for the rest of your life, right?"
