“Hahahaha!”

This birthday was simply the most pleasant day of his life.

The Xiao Family had a disciple who had become the teacher of a master level cultivator.

Not only was he a master level cultivator, he was also a teacher of the refined Saint Academy.

Compared to the reputation of the refined Saint Academy, so what if he was a master level cultivator?

Any region would have a master level cultivator, but the refined saint academy only had a few dozen teachers across the entire South continent!

For the Xiao Family to have Xiao Pan and Xiao Hong, it was truly a case of smoke rising from their ancestors!

The Xiao Family’s patriarch pulled Xiao Pan and Xiao Hong aside and asked in a mysterious and low voice.

“What does the mystic master usually like and what hobbies does he have?”

Now that the Xiao Family’s patriarch had spoken, Xiao Hong did not know either. “In terms of hobbies, the mystic master seems to like alchemy and is an alchemy king.”

Before he could finish speaking, the eyes of the Xiao Family’s Patriarch widened as he stared at Xiao Hong intently.

Xiao Hong raised his head in confusion, only to see the Xiao family’s patriarch looking both surprised and delighted. His bright eyes seemed to be able to emit light.

“Is he still an alchemy king?”

The Xiao Family’s patriarch stared at Xiao Hong with doubt in his eyes.

In response, Xiao Hong nodded blankly. “That’s right. The Mystic Master is a genuine alchemy king. This time, other than celebrating the Patriarch’s birthday, we’re here to borrow the alchemy furnace in the south of the city.”

“Is that pill furnace still there?”

“Yes, it’s still there!”

As the patriarch of the Xiao family, he had experienced so many hardships over the years. How could he not understand the potential of Xuan Yi?

The Cult Master Realm and the teacher of the refined Saint Academy.

And now, he was even an pill king!

Pill Kings were existences whose status was even more honorable than the cult master realm!

Now, the Pill King, the cult master realm, and the teacher of the refined Saint Academy. These three identities were placed on one person.

Hiss!

The Xiao Family’s patriarch sucked in a breath of cold air and his entire body trembled!

If the Xiao Family could be closely allied with a figure like Xuan Yi, they wouldn’t have to worry about the Xiao Family’s development in the next tens of thousands of years. In the entire myriad mountains region, who would dare to provoke the Xiao Family?

Upon taking a deep breath, the patriarch called for the Xiao Clan’s patriarch. His tone was firm as he began to instruct him in a low voice.

He had already made up his mind. In order to obtain Xuan Yi’s favor, the Xiao Family would pay any price!

Xiao Zhan on his swift and decisive actions. As long as it was the patriarch’s order, he would definitely put in a lot of effort, not to mention that he was currently serving an alchemy king.

Therefore, Xiao Zhan rode his flying light and headed towards the old man in the south of the city.

The old man in the south of the city was the most mysterious old man in the entire Feng City. It was said that, many years ago, he was born into an alchemy clan, but later on, his family weakened and only left behind an alchemy furnace.

In the past, it was not that no one had ever thought of using this pill furnace. However, no matter what kind of strength one had, they would always return in defeat when they went to the old man from the south of the city.

Some people even suspected that the old man from the south of the city was a cult master level expert!

From then on, no one dared to provoke him.

After fifteen minutes, Xiao Zhan returned to the Xiao family with a happy expression.

“As expected of the patriarch. The old man from the south of the city has agreed to lend out the pill furnace. However, he needs an alchemy king to refine a cauldron of pills for him. After the deed is done, he can borrow the pill furnace and also send out a portion of the pills.”

The patriarch was overjoyed. He cupped his hands in negotiation and passed the news to Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi nodded when he heard this and heaved a sigh of relief in his heart.

It was not easy to find a good pill furnace, which belonged to someone else. Although the other party was not an alchemist, Xuan Yi could not forcefully make a move if he was unwilling.

However, Xuan Yi felt a little heartache when the other pill furnaces refined the Fog Lotus Grass.

Moreover, when an alchemist refined a pill, he would be split into half a furnace of spirit pills. This was an unwritten rule of the pill rank.

This old man from the south of the city was quite interesting.

No one knew what kind of pill he wanted to refine.

Xuan Yi had a smile on the corner of his mouth. He felt somewhat relaxed as he stood up and cupped his hands.

With the Alchemy Venerable’s memory of refining pills, no matter what kind of spirit pill he was required to refine, he would not be afraid.

If the pill furnace was really good, what harm would it do for him to refine a furnace of spirit pills for someone else?

“Many thanks to the Xiao clan’s forefather for taking care of Clan Head Xiao Zhan. We don’t have much time left, so I’ll go to the south of the city to take a look first.”

Following that, Xuan Yi tore through space and landed in the forest in the south of the city.

In front of the forest was a tall mountain. The old man from the south of the city, who had a high-quality pill furnace, lived on this tall mountain.

As Xuan Yi landed at the foot of the mountain, he had a faint smile on his face.

He had killed too many people in the Dongping region. He wanted to ease his mood, so he climbed up the mountain step by step.

After that, the old man seemed to be very happy. It seemed that Xuan Yi’s act of climbing the mountain was taken as an attitude.

He was very satisfied.

With a thick beard, the eyes of the old man sparkled as he stared intently at Xuan Yi.

In the entire myriad mountain region, not to mention the lack of alchemists, it was very rare to see an alchemist at least at the level of a fifth rank pill king.

In the eyes of the old man from the south, Xuan Yi’s face was young and dressed in white. His actions were well-mannered, and he was obviously a disciple of a great sect.

After all, the ancestor of the old man from the South had once produced a pill king. He knew how heaven-defying it was for Xuan Yi to be able to become a pill king at his age.

Xuan Yi grinned faintly and cupped his hands in salute.

“I have a spiritual material. Using an ordinary pill furnace would be a waste of materials. I just heard that you have a pill furnace here, so I wanted to borrow it.”

This was also the truth. Without a good pill furnace, even if one was an alchemy king, refining a fifth grade spirit pill was mostly a low-grade one. In terms of the utilization rate of spiritual materials, it was a huge waste.

“I can lend you the pills, but you need to help me refine a fifth grade essence enhancing pill.”

“After the deed is done, not only will I lend you the pill furnace, I’ll also give you half of the spirit pills.”

Vitality enhancing pill, as the name implies, was a pill that increased the spirit source.

Although the supplementary ingredients were precious, they weren’t much. The key was the main ingredient, the vitality nourishing grass.

After adding the vitality nourishing grass in, the pill would be completed.

After the pill was completed, it would be enough to add several years of cultivation strength to a sect master realm expert.

Certainly, it was impossible to increase it infinitely. The second effect would be greatly reduced, and the later effects would decrease even more.

Xuan Yi was somewhat surprised. Looking at the unremarkable old man from the south of the city, he actually had a vitality-raising grass?

The tip of his nose moved subconsciously. With the alchemy experience of a seventh grade alchemy venerable, Xuan Yi very quickly identified the spiritual grass floating behind the old man.

“You cultivated a vitality-raising grass?”

Xuan Yi was shocked. The essence nurturing grass was not easy to grow, for it required a special environment and meticulous care. It could only be cultivated after several decades of success. This old man from the south of the city actually had such patience and perseverance!

Although the essence nurturing grass could not be compared to the misty lotus grass, it was still extremely precious.

The old man from the south of the city seemed to enjoy Xuan Yi’s shocked expression. He nodded slightly and was rarely complacent.

As a sect master realm expert, the world was vast. Where could he not go?

He brought him to the myriad mountains region because he had discovered traces of vitality-growing grass on this mountain in the south of the city. Moreover, this south of the city mountain was extremely suitable for cultivating vitality-growing grass.

This was a great opportunity for a sect master realm expert, which was why the old man from the south of the city stayed until the day when Xuan Yi came looking for him.

“Can you refine it?”

Xuan Yi nodded and smiled confidently.

Although the increment pill was precious, it was only a fifth-grade spiritual pill. As long as there were ingredients, Xuan Yi could easily refine it.
