Zheng Yao was the Sect Leader Sun Tianceâs nephew, and Liao Renping was the Grand Elderâs grandson.
If anyone dared to lie now, they would definitely face the wrath of both the Sect Leader and Grand Elder.
"An Upper Grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasure?"
The Grand Elderâs eyes grew cold. "Lin Changâsheng, you little bastard! I wonât let you off! My grandsonâs death will be repaid a hundredfold!"
Huo Zhi spat out his words and strode away quickly.
No need to guess what he was about to doâeven without thinking, everyone knew he was heading to Celestial Emperor City to take revenge on Lin Changâsheng.
On the high seat, Sun Tiance was still thinking about ordering people to crush Lin Changâsheng.
Looks like he didnât even need to give the command now.
"Sect Leader, Lin Changâsheng is a disciple of the Immortal Palace. If we kill him, wonât that make us enemies with the Immortal Palace?"
After a short silence, one of the Elders finally voiced his concern.
He knew the Sect Leader must be furious right now.
But this matter could not be overlookedâit was about the survival of the Celestial Orchid Sect itself.
"Are you worried about the Grand Elder handling this? Lin Changâsheng will vanish without a trace. Even if the Immortal Palace has heaven-shaking abilities, they wonât be able to trace it back to us!"
Sun Tiance replied impatiently.
Though they couldnât compete with the Immortal Palace, their own Sect disciples had been massacred by Lin Changâsheng; if they didnât retaliate, who on earth would join the Celestial Orchid Sect in the future?
If a Sect canât even stand up when its disciples are killed, where does its prestige lie?
"Uh..."
Seeing Sun Tiance speak so forcefully, the Elders didnât know how to object.
They just had to hope things wouldnât spiral out of control, or theyâd also be facing mortal danger.
...
Celestial Emperor City, Celestial Soaring Palace.
Rumble rumble rumbleââ
Under the relentless bombardment of the Power of Celestial Thunder, Lin Changâsheng furiously tempered his body.
[Divine Healing PillâPerfection!]
At last, after taking the blasting for an entire hour, his mastery over the Divine Healing Pill had reached perfection.
A flood of memories roared into Lin Changâshengâs mindâtechniques and secrets for refining the Divine Healing Pill.
At this moment, Lin Changâsheng felt like an old Alchemist who had spent a thousand years crafting the Divine Healing Pill; he knew it inside and out.
With his Alchemy now at perfection level, Lin Changâsheng brimmed with confidence. Even if he didnât have a 100% success rate,
he would at least succeed in crafting pills nine out of ten times.
"So I still need Immortal Crystal Spirit Marrow, Thousand-Year Spirit Beast Blood, and Blood Lotus Fruit!"
Lin Changâsheng checked the ingredients for the Divine Healing Pill and found these three were extremely rare.
Luck was on his side, thoughâhe happened to have all three of them.
Back when heâd first arrived in the Immortal Realm, Lin Changâsheng snatched a few drops of Spirit Marrow from the Blood Robe Sectâan incredibly precious treasure, and heâd been reluctant to use it.
After all, one drop of Spirit Marrow can boost the chance of Integration by thirty percent.
Maybe it was because Lin Changâsheng had taken Spirit Marrow that his breakthrough to Integration Stage had been so smooth.
Spirit Marrow is a rare treasureâyou wouldnât expect it to be used in Elixir refining; shows how extraordinary this pill is.
Right now, Lin Changâsheng was down to his very last drop.
The Thousand-Year Spirit Beast Blood was no problem; Xiaonan was already at Spirit Beast Level, so getting one drop from her wouldnât be an issue.
He didnât have Blood Lotus Fruit, but Mother and Child Blood Jade Fruit would work as a substitute.
In fact, the Mother and Child Blood Jade Fruit should work even better, as itâs forged from Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi and the blood of many powerful beings.
The blood aura within was incredibly potent.
Lin Changâsheng then summoned Xiaonan, coaxing and tricking her into giving him a drop of blood, and immediately began refining the Divine Healing Pill.
He wasnât even sure what rank this pill belonged to, but Lin Changâsheng figured it had to be of Holy Pill grade.
Above the Holy Pill, thereâs the incomparably revered Emperor Pill.
Rumor has it, an Emperor Pill can even give birth to its own consciousnessâwho knows if itâs true.
Still, the Holy Pill was what most cultivators dreamed of.
Lin Changâsheng took extra care during the entire refinement process.
And so the refining dragged on and on.
In a flash, five days passed.
During those five days, Wu Yue tried to visit Lin Changâsheng multiple times, but Hou Shaojie blocked her every time.
Wu Yue was thoroughly vexed.
A princess of a kingdom, snubbed by Lin Changâshengâhow insulting was that?
Sheâd pleaded with her father King again and again to give Lin Changâsheng more time, hoping heâd change his mind.
Although her first meeting with Lin Changâsheng hadnât gone well, Wu Yue still had a good opinion of him.
After all, who wouldnât like a heaven-chosen one? Lin Changâsheng was so young, his physique so robust.
Whenever she recalled Lin Changâshengâs almost perfect muscle lines, Wu Yueâs cheeks would flush bright red.
But now, after repeated letdowns in finding Lin Changâsheng, Wu Yueâs mood soured more and more.
"Xiaoyue, whatâs wrong?"
Wu Hao saw Wu Yue return in a foul mood and asked with a frown.
"Fatherâ"
Wu Yue threw herself into Wu Haoâs arms and started sobbing.
Wu Hao was startled.
"What happened? Who bullied you? Iâll kill them!"
Wu Hao was furious.
"IâIâm a princess, and my cultivation isnât weak, yet Lin Changâsheng treats me so coldly! Iâve gone looking for him again and again, but he keeps avoiding me, saying heâs refining pills. I think he just doesnât want to see me!"
Wu Yue vented all her frustration.
On hearing this, Wu Hao was enragedâheâd thought their relationship was improving, but apparently, Lin Changâsheng had no intention of marrying his daughter and was just stalling for time.
"Heâs got some nerve!"
Wu Haoâs eyes glinted coldly. If thatâs the case, Lin Changâsheng cannot be allowed to stay.
As he spoke, Wu Hao stood up with a bang. "If heâs so ungrateful, then all that awaits him is death!"
Wu Hao strode off toward the Celestial Soaring Palace.
Wu Yue didnât want Lin Changâsheng to die, but since heâd treated her this way, it would be his own fault if he did.
If she couldnât have him, destroying him wouldnât be a loss.
On this point, Wu Yue was quite like her father, Wu Hao.
Better shattered jade than intact tile.
As Wu Hao, with several Mahayana Stage experts in tow, headed for the Celestial Soaring Palace,
BOOMââ
A beam of white light soared from the Celestial Soaring Palace, piercing directly into the heavens.
A powerful wave of pill aura spread out; the medicinal fragrance filled everyoneâs noses, making them feel refreshed and invigorated, as if every cell in their bodies was greedily absorbing the potent medicine.
The immense change stunned Wu Hao and the others.
"IsâIs this the birth of a Holy Pill?"
Wu Haoâs eyes widened in astonishment.
So Lin Changâsheng had refined a Holy Pill in just a few short days?
This was almost beyond belief.
"Your Majesty, act now! If you leave him be, disaster will surely follow!"
Huang Peng spoke up with concern.
With Lin Changâsheng making such a commotion, it would surely draw the attention of many powerful cultivators.
Once the surrounding experts gathered, and things got out of hand, keeping Lin Changâsheng would become very hard.
Wu Hao understood that the commotion from this pill was too great, so he quickened his pace toward the palace.
Inside Celestial Soaring Palace.
Lin Changâsheng opened the furnaceâinside lay nine blood-red pills.
Divine Patterns danced across the pills, giving off an air of mystery; the thick medicinal aura swirled out, even just smelling them left Lin Changâsheng feeling his body and cultivation nourished and enhanced. Swallowing one would no doubt have an overpowering effect.
"B-Boss, didâdid you just refine a Holy Pill?"
Hou Shaojie shakily pushed open the door and entered.
This wasnât a pill an ordinary person could refine!
Even in the Divine Pill Pavilion, few Alchemists could craft a Holy Pill. Yet Lin Changâsheng not only had monstrous cultivation, he could also make such a miracle elixirâhe was practically a freak.
"Here, try and see how it tastes."
Lin Changâsheng tossed a Divine Healing Pill to Hou Shaojie.
He stashed away the other eight pills.
This wasnât the time to consume them, as he sensed many powerful cultivators in the Imperial City heading in his direction.
They werenât just coming to ask for elixirsâno doubt some wanted to force a marriage as well.
Outside the Imperial Palace, at a nearby inn.
Two figures, one black and one white, gazed toward the palace where the pillar of white light rose; their expressions grew peculiar.
"A Holy Pill has been born."
Hei Yu whispered.
Theyâd already tracked Lin Changâsheng to Celestial Emperor City, never expecting heâd land in Wu Haoâs hands.
Wu Hao was a Tribulation Crossing powerhouse. Neither of them wanted to risk snatching prey from a tigerâs mouthâthey would simply wait.
And after all this waiting, Lin Changâsheng hadnât diedâheâd actually refined a Saint Level Elixir.
"A Holy Pill comes once in a lifetime. We canât miss this chance!"
Bai Yu stated softly.
They hadnât expected to witness the birth of a Holy Pill while out on this hunt.
