Even though it was an unintentional mistake, Xing Jue was still filled with a trace of guilt towards that young lady. After all, she was still a young lady and it was not good for him to take advantage of her.
However, that young lady did not give Xing Jue any chance to explain. Of course, even if he did explain, it might not be clear. Therefore, after that young lady left, Xing Jue returned to his and Wang Yanran's residence with a trace of guilt.
"What a fragrant smell."
Just as Xing Jue opened the door of the palace, he felt a wave of fragrance assailing his nostrils. This fragrance was the unique pill fragrance of the pill.
Following the pill fragrance, Xing Jue arrived at the living room on the second floor of the palace. Only then did he realize that Wang Yanran was standing in the living room.
Moreover, there was a golden medicinal cauldron placed in front of her. There was a layer of faint red light lingering on the surface of the medicinal cauldron. It was obvious that there was a special enchantment on it. At this moment, a strange blue flame was slowly rising from the medicinal cauldron.
Moreover, around Wang Yanran, there were thousands of strange medicinal herbs floating in the air. As Wang Yanran's arms continuously danced, those medicinal herbs flowed into the medicinal cauldron like floating clouds and flowing water.
However, they quickly flew out of the cauldron. The strangest thing was that the shape of those medicinal herbs did not change. It was just that the medicinal herbs that had entered the medicinal cauldron once contained a lot of energy.
Towards this strange phenomenon, Xing Jue was a little surprised. Speaking of which, this was the first time that Xing Jue had seen an alchemist refine a pill. As for the mysteries within, Xing Jue did not understand at all. However, Xing Jue could tell that Wang Yanran's alchemy ability was definitely not to be underestimated.
Wang Yanran's technique was very proficient. In just a short moment, she had refined thousands of medicinal herbs. Then, with a light wave of her sleeve, the medicinal herbs and the medicinal cauldron in front of her were stored into her storage bracelet.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, when did you come back?"
After tidying up everything, Wang Yanran suddenly realized that Xing Jue was standing behind her. She hurried to Xing Jue with a smile.
"Heh, I didn't want to disturb you since you were concocting pills," Xing Jue said with a smile.
"Hehe, this is not concocting medicine. It is just a simple processing of medicinal ingredients," Wang Yanran explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is. By the way, Senior Sister Wang, I've found all the items you wanted."
Seeing this, Xing Jue lightly smiled. He waved his sleeve and took out all the items that he had purchased from the Immortal Medicinal Store and placed them before Wang Yanran.
"Oh my god, he actually bought all of them?"
Looking at the various exotic treasures floating in front of her, Wang Yanran revealed a look of disbelief and astonishment.
It should be known that even Wang Yanran had never seen these items before. No matter which of the items floating in front of her, they were all difficult to find in the Eastern Continent. Regarding these items, she only knew of their names and characteristics from the ancient records in the Herb Concealing Mountain Villa.
Actually, when she handed these items to Xing Jue, Wang Yanran did not expect that Xing Jue would really be able to buy all of them. After all, rare items like the Iron Demon Tree Root were clearly recorded in the ancient records in the Herb Concealing Mountain Villa. It was an item that was hard to find in this world.
Back then, Wang Yanran had only written it down to try her luck. However, she had never expected that the Punishment Execution would actually be purchased. This was truly out of Wang Yanran's expectations.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, these items must be expensive, right?" At this moment, Wang Yanran suddenly looked at Xing Jue with eyes full of gratitude.
This was because she could completely guess the price of these items. However, Xing Jue actually didn't care about the cost of buying these items and bought them all for her. This really made Wang Yanran feel touched.
"Heh, as long as it can help you." Seeing this, Xing Jue chuckled, but did not directly answer.
Seeing Xing Jue like this, Wang Yanran also didn't say anything else. She hid this touch of gratitude in the bottom of her heart. In the following time, Wang Yanran continued to prepare for the Alchemy Grand Conference.
On the other hand, Xing Jue hid in his room to practice. After advancing to the Intermediate Combat Emperor realm, Xing Jue discovered that not only his physical body had been upgraded to another level, but his control of soul force had also increased by a level.
After reaching this level, Xing Jue suddenly remembered the soul secret book that he found in the ancient ruins. In that secret book, other than the cultivation method of the Soul Armor, it also recorded another kind of mysterious soul martial skill, Soul Doppelganger.
The Soul Doppelganger was an extremely mysterious soul martial skill. According to the soul secret book, it was able to create a doppelganger that was exactly the same as the original body through the soul force. Moreover, the doppelganger possessed the same power as the original body. It could be controlled by the original body, and could even self-destruct.
If Xing Jue could successfully cultivate this Soul Doppelganger, it would be equivalent to doubling his strength when he fights with others in the future. Such a powerful martial skill was naturally something that Xing Jue yearned for.
However, because this martial skill had very strict requirements on the body and soul, Xing Jue couldn't practice it before. However, it seemed that this requirement had been met. Since he had free time now, Xing Jue couldn't wait to practice it.
While Xing Jue and Wang Yanran were concentrating on their cultivation, a month quietly passed. On this day, the Alchemy Grand Conference organized by the number one alchemy force in the Sky Martial Continent, the Sacred Pill Clan, which attracted countless alchemy geniuses in the Towering Sky Domain, had officially begun.
At this moment, there were millions of people seated in the huge plaza at the center of the city. Most of them came from various sects or forces in the Towering Sky Domain, and this time, they wanted to witness the glory of an alchemist. After all, most of them had never seen alchemy before.
At the center of the plaza, there were close to a thousand alchemists scattered in the plaza. All of them were alchemists that had passed the qualification test, and all of them were geniuses with top-notch alchemy skills.
Furthermore, among these alchemists, there were some alchemists that had a certain reputation in the Towering Sky Domain. For example, the Palace Master of the Jade Lady Palace, Hu Feifei. Even in the Towering Sky Domain, she was a famous alchemist.
Although she was in the midst of nearly a thousand people, she was the center of attention. Almost everyone's eyes were on her. She wore a proud smile on her face as she enjoyed everyone's gazes.
However, compared to everyone else, Xing Jue did not even look at Hu Feifei. Instead, his gaze was fixed on Wang Yanran. He wanted to cheer her on. After all, this was the first time Wang Yanran had encountered such a scene.
However, what surprised Xing Jue was that Wang Yanran did not seem to be afraid at all. Instead, she smiled confidently at Xing Jue, trying to put Xing Jue's mind at ease.
"Look, it's an elder of the Sacred Pill Clan."
However, at this moment, an uproar suddenly broke out in the plaza. At this moment, Xing Jue discovered that over a dozen figures had suddenly appeared on the originally empty and luxurious platform in the deepest part of the plaza.
The ones in the lead were two old men in white robes. There was a lifelike golden gourd engraved on their white robes, and the aura of the two old men shocked Xing Jue even more.
Although he couldn't feel the aura of the two old men, just the aura they emitted was enough to make people feel reverence. These two were the elders of the Sacred Pill Clan, the organizers of this Alchemy Festival.
Behind the two elders were three young men. One of them was a man and the other was a woman. They were wearing the same white robes as the two elders. Furthermore, they actually possessed the strength of a Middle Stage Combat Emperor. Obviously, the two of them were also members of the Sacred Pill Clan.
However, when Xing Jue looked at the last young man, his expression couldn't help but turn ugly. This was because this person wasn't a member of the Sacred Pill Clan, but the Young Hall Master of the Mystical Palace, Dugu Feng.
"I never thought that the Mystical Palace would actually have such strength. Even in the territory of the Sacred Pill Clan, they would be treated as distinguished guests." Looking at Dugu Feng, who had a face full of pride and was looking around, Xing Jue said indifferently.
"However, from the looks of it, the situation of the Sacred Pill Clan doesn't seem optimistic." However, when Xing Jue sized up the two men and women from the Sacred Pill Clan again, he couldn't help but frown.
This was because everything in front of him had already told Xing Jue that the current Sacred Pill Clan didn't seem to be as strong as before. This could be seen from this Alchemy Festival. This was originally a branch of the Sacred Pill Clan, but before the appearance of the two elders and the two youths, Xing Jue had never seen a single Sacred Pill Clan member.
Furthermore, as an ancient clan that used the pill as its foundation, the Sacred Pill Clan would actually hold this kind of Alchemy Festival to recruit its clansmen. All of this meant that the current Sacred Pill Clan was most likely facing a lack of talents. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to do such a thing.
Thinking about it this way, the Demon Refinement Clan, who had also extended their hands into the Towering Sky Domain, would probably not be any better. Just what had happened to these ancient clans had become the thing that Xing Jue was most curious about.
At this moment, other than the two elders of the Sacred Pill Clan, the two youths of the Sacred Pill Clan, and the young master of the Mystical Palace, Dugu Feng, there were also a dozen experts with extraordinary strength. However, they weren't wearing white robes, nor did they have the unique temperament of the Sacred Pill Clan. Clearly, they were experts that the Sacred Pill Clan had recruited in the Towering Sky Domain.
When the two elders of the Sacred Pill Clan sat down, one of them gently waved his hand. Thereafter, an expert with the strength of a War Emperor walked in front of the stage and explained the rules of this Alchemy Festival.
"The Alchemy Festival will now begin."
Then, under the excited cheers of the crowd, he announced the start of the Alchemy Festival.
