MARTIAL PEAK 4519

In the Elder Pavilion of Profound Pill Sect, Third Elder Yu Boyang rushed in with a scroll.

Seeing this, Great Elder Wu Fenghua asked, “Is there something you need, Elder Yu?”

“Greetings, Great Elder!” Yu Boyang first bowed before saying, “When I was investigating the various Sects’ records today, I found some interesting things that I would like Great Elder to take a look at.”

Wu Fenghua stroked his beard and smiled lightly, “Even Elder Yu thinks it’s interesting, so it shouldn’t be a small matter. What is it?”

Yu Boyang didn’t say anything and simply handed over the scroll in his hand before sitting down on a chair next to the Great Elder and pouring himself a cup of water.

Wu Fenghua opened it and said, “It’s a record file from Asking Pill Pavilion…”

After a quick glance, his eyes couldn’t help narrowing slightly, “This… is Elder Yu sure the record is correct?”

Yu Boyang slowly shook his head, “I ask two Deacons on the Asking Pill Pavilion who are responsible for the report. Each will take turns once every ten days, so it’s impossible for them to make a mistake. I also went to ask them myself, it’s true.”

“How could this be?” Wu Fenghua’s eyes focused on a certain part of the dossier where Yang Kai’s name was clearly recorded, followed by the date, followed by the two words ‘Pill Success’, and finally ‘High-Rank’ and ‘Mid-Rank’. The ratio of High-Rank was a terrifying thirty percent!

Yu Boyang said, “It’s hard to believe, but that’s the truth! Since Yang Kai began refining pills, in the past three months, he has never failed to refine a Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill, and the quality of his pills has always been above Mid Rank.”

Wu Fenghua pondered for a moment before replying, “Of course he might have failed before, but he took out the Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill he had successfully refined before!”

“Even so, this rate of success is truly terrifying, even surpassing us old fogies. In all fairness, can Great Elder accomplish this in three months?”

Wu Fenghua thought about it carefully before slowly shaking his head, “It’s difficult!”

Yu Boyang said, “Even us old fogies couldn’t do it, so how did a little brat like him do it? Moreover, the quality of those Ten Revolutions Heartless Pills are all above Mid Rank.”

Wu Fenghua looked up at the latter, “Elder Yu means…”

Yu Boyang said, “This boy definitely has his own insights on the matter of refining a Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill. He can increase his chances of successfully refining a pill and its quality!”

Wu Fenghua was silent for a moment before nodding slightly.

Yu Boyang said, “Great Elder, take a closer look at the number of pills he has refined in the past three months, you’ll be able to find more.”

With this reminder, Wu Fenghua once again began to inspect the pill. A moment later, he raised his brow and said, “This brat’s pill refining speed seems to be increasing!”

Yu Boyang nodded and said, “That’s right. At the beginning, he could only help two Pill Seeking cultivators to refine pills every day. At that time, he could only make one furnace a day, and each Pill Success can satisfy two people, he gradually became able to satisfy the needs of three or four people a day. In the past ten days, seven or eight people actually managed to obtain a Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill from him every day. Seven or eight people a day were simply unheard of.”

Even if one furnace contained three pills, to satisfy seven or eight people, it would need three furnace Pill Success. How could he refine three furnaces in a day? Even if these old men worked together, they would only be able to refine two furnaces in a day.

And this didn’t include the time they needed to rest.

Wu Fenghua put away the scroll, “It seems this boy really does have his own unique insights on refining the Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill! What is Elder Yu’s purpose in coming here to discuss this matter with me?”

Yu Boyang’s eyes lit up, “Great Elder, this is a great matter that will benefit my Profound Pill Sect. If that boy can promote his Alchemy skills in my Profound Pill Sect, then my Profound Pill Sect’s Pill Master will definitely grow greatly. With his experience, he can only refine a Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill, but if he can refine other pills, then…”

Wu Fenghua’s eyes narrowed slightly. How could he not realize the importance of this matter? If Yang Kai could really spread this insight, it would be a great contribution to the entire Sect. At that time, when the Sect’s Alchemists were refining pills, the amount of time they would spend would be greatly reduced, allowing them to have more time to do other things. In the long run, the benefits they could bring to the Profound Pill Sect would be immeasurable.

“Be that as it may, this is someone else’s thing after all…” Wu Fenghua hesitated slightly.

Yu Boyang said, “He is also a disciple of my Profound Pill Sect! If he can benefit the Profound Pill Sect, he should contribute his insights. The Sect will compensate him.”

Wu Fenghua shook his head and said, “This child’s aptitude is outstanding. In time, he will undoubtedly become Spirit Pill Master, so there is no need to offend him.”

“But…”

Wu Fenghua raised his hand and said, “This matter isn’t small, I’ll go ask the Sect Master first and ask him to make a decision. Elder Yu, come with me.”

Hearing this, Yu Boyang nodded, “Good!”

The two of them immediately set out to meet the Sect Master and report their findings.

Inside the cave mansion of Moon Locking Peak, Yang Kai was using some ordinary materials to teach Wan Yingying Pill Refining when Yang Huai suddenly walked in and called out, “Sir, there’s an old man who claims to be the Sect Master’s personal guard outside. He says the Sect Master wants to see you.”

“Sect Master!” Yang Kai raised his brow, thinking to himself, is he finally here? He didn’t waste his recent days of constant probing, he nodded and said, “Understood, I’ll be right there.”

After instructing Wan Yingying to practice on her own, Yang Kai tidied up his clothes and walked out of the Cave Mansion to see a stooped old man standing there with his hands behind his back. The old man looked ordinary, but one of his eyes was blind. Yang Kai didn’t know what he had experienced in his early years, but his other eye was also cloudy.

Seeing Yang Kai walk over, the old man simply looked up at him and didn’t react much.

“Greetings, Senior,” Yang Kai stepped forward and bowed. Although he was now a Heaven Pill Master, since this old man was the Sect Master’s personal guard, he was definitely a Spirit Rank master, one of the top masters of the Spirit Rank.

The old man nodded lightly, “The Sect Master has summoned you, follow me!”

Saying so, he turned around and in the next moment, Yang Kai felt a gentle force wrap around him and involuntarily flew forward with the old man, the scenery around him rapidly retreating.

In the short span of ten breaths, Yang Kai’s figure suddenly stopped, and by the time he reacted, he had already arrived in front of a large hall.

The old man turned around and said, “You may enter, Sect Master and several Elders are inside.”

“Many thanks, Senior!” Yang Kai cupped his fists in thanks and walked towards the main hall.

Speaking of which, ever since he had entered the Profound Pill Sect, he had never met any of the upper echelons of the Profound Pill Sect. Although there had been a test when he had first entered the Sect, those people had never shown themselves, so naturally he had not seen them.

Being summoned today was also within Yang Kai’s expectations.

Since becoming an Alchemist, because of the need for cultivation resources, he had to constantly increase the speed of his Alchemy and the number of pills he could form. Only then would he be able to obtain more cultivation resources, but with such an outstanding performance, it was only a matter of time before he entered the eyes of the upper echelons of Profound Pill Sect.

Yang Kai was still a bit hesitant. His current strength wasn’t high, so exposing too much would be dangerous, but after thinking about it carefully, he was now a member of the Profound Pill Sect, so no matter what, his life wouldn’t be in danger. Moreover, this way, he might be able to resolve the issue of contribution points.

However, there were some things he needed to consider carefully!

Entering the main hall, Yang Kai immediately noticed three pairs of eyes staring at him. Looking up, he saw three people sitting in the middle of the hall. One of them was a white-haired old man wearing a white robe. Although he wasn’t young, he was quite spirited and his expression was dignified, as if he had been in a high position for a long time.

Below him were two old men, one wearing a green robe and the other wearing a black robe.

The three of them were extremely dignified, and their auras were restrained, they were definitely Spirit Rank masters.

Yang Kai stepped forward and cupped his fists, “Disciple Yang Kai greets Sect Master and Elders!”

The old man in the middle smiled slightly, “How can you be so certain that this old master is the Sect Master? You and I have never met before, right? If you call me wrong, wouldn’t it be awkward?”

Yang Kai said indifferently, “If i'm wrong, i can ask around and call again.”

The Great Elder and Third Elder exchanged a glance before the latter said, “Your skin is quite thick!”

Baili Yunsang raised his hand and said, “The reason I called you here today is because your performance at the Asking Pill Pavilion was quite good. Whether it was in terms of quantity or quality, the Ten Revolutions Heartless Pill you refined far exceeded that of your fellow disciples. It’s just that Great Elder and Third Elder still have some doubts about this matter, so they called you here to personally refine a furnace of Ten Revolutions Heartless Pills!”

Yu Boyang said, “The herbs and pill furnace have been prepared for you. This pill furnace was used by Sect Master when he was young, so it’s definitely better than your own pill furnace. You can use it without any worries.”

Yang Kai raised his brow and looked up at the small pill furnace in front of him. When he first entered this place, he had already seen this thing, but he hadn’t paid much attention to it. Now that he looked at it again, he realized that this pill furnace was indeed quite old and obviously not an ordinary one.

The Great Elder also said, “Refine as much as you can, don’t feel any psychological burden!”

Yang Kai thought to himself that if he tried his best to refine it, wouldn’t he scare the two of them… but he still cupped his fists and said, “Yes, Disciple will not disappoint Sect Master and the two Elders.”

“Do you need to rest and recover?” Wu Fenghua asked again.

Yang Kai replied, “Disciple is full of energy and doesn’t need it.”

Wu Fenghua nodded, “Since that’s the case, let’s begin.”

Yang Kai bowed respectfully before arriving in front of the pill furnace and circulating his spiritual force to activate his Pill Fire and inject it into it.

As soon as the white Pill Fire appeared, Baili Yunsang and the two Elders were stunned for a moment, because in their eyes, this white fire was clearly a type of Mortal Fire.

This little brat actually wanted to use Mortal Fire to refine a Heaven Rank Pill? Great Elder Wu Fenghua was about to ask, but was interrupted by Baili Yunsang.

Wu Fenghua looked towards Baili Yunsang in surprise, only to see him staring at the white fire with a solemn expression, his eyes flashing with excitement.

How could a mere Mortal Fire make Sect Master act like this? Wu Fenghua suddenly thought of a legend recorded in the ancient book…
