With Qing Shuang's arrangement, Bandit Leader didn't have to starve this time. He ate to his heart's content. Since Bandit Leader couldn't leave, he gladly accepted it. His eyes emitted a blue light as he prepared to eat him for a few days.
The location of the pill refinement was in a courtyard arranged by Qing Shuang. When Yang Xuan entered, he saw that there were already a few Imperial Family Alchemists waiting.
Yang Xuan sneered. Want to steal my skills? You have to be able to control spiritual energy first.
He didn't expose them. After all, no one would be able to learn his pill refining skills.
Qing Shuang asked what herbs were needed. Yang Xuan didn't hide anything and listed out the herbs needed to refine the Heaven Reversal Pill in detail.
Qing Shuang frowned after looking at the list. With her knowledge, how could she not see that the herbs listed in the list were only for refining ordinary healing pills.
However, she didn't say anything. It was normal to hide the pill formula for such a heaven-defying pill.
With the Imperial Family's power, these herbs were naturally not a problem. In just half a day, all the herbs that Yang Xuan needed were delivered. There were even some left over.
Yang Xuan didn't delay and started refining the Heaven Reversal Pill in front of Qing Shuang and the other Alchemists.
Qing Shuang and the other Alchemists didn't expect that Yang Xuan wouldn't let them leave. Hence, they opened their eyes wide, afraid to miss any details.
However, until the first batch of six Heaven Reversal Pills came out, they didn't see any difference between Yang Xuan's method of refining pills and ordinary healing pills. Even the quantity and order of adding the herbs was no different from ordinary healing pills.
In disbelief, they watched as Yang Xuan started refining the second batch. However, until the second batch of six fragrant Heaven Reversal Pills appeared in front of them, they didn't see any difference.
Qing Shuang smiled and left the room. She already knew that it was impossible to get any clues like this so she might as well be more generous.
Yang Xuan's refining speed was extremely fast. In just half a day, not only did he finish refining the promised hundred Heaven Reversal Pills, he even refined more than double.
The door was pushed open and Yang Xuan walked out of the room.
Qing Shuang, who was sipping tea in the courtyard, turned her head to look. Behind Yang Xuan, there were a few imperial alchemists with bitter expressions on their faces.
At this moment, their hearts were filled with shock. Although they didn't learn anything from Yang Xuan, Yang Xuan's alchemy speed and success rate still made them respect Yang Xuan like a celestial being.
Half a day later, Yang Xuan had opened the furnace dozens of times, and he had not failed once. Not a single pill was wasted.
One had to know that even if it was the most common healing pill, if they were to refine it, it would be extremely difficult for them to succeed six or seven times out of ten. Even so, they still had to rest in between to conserve their energy and adjust their aura.
However, Yang Xuan had continuously opened the furnace dozens of times, without any pause or rest in between. Furthermore, he had not failed once, nor had he produced a single useless pill. To them, this was simply a miracle.
Qing Shuang could understand their feelings. Anyone who suffered such a blow to their skills that they were proud of would probably not be any better than them.
"The pill is done. What about your promise?" Yang Xuan asked.
Qing Shuang put away her sigh and waved her hand, indicating for the few alchemists to leave.
After the few alchemists left, she said, "Twenty miles west of the Giant Spirit Sect, there is a small mountain valley. There is a cave inside. Go there three days later and you will see the key. However, I have to remind you that you only have one night."
Yang Xuan nodded. How important was the key to the Giant Spirit Sect's forbidden area? Being able to set aside one night was already commendable. He naturally understood.
Qing Shuang threw a golden token to him. Yang Xuan didn't even look at it and threw it into his storage ring.
The identity of Qing Shuang's imperial consecrator was not beneficial to him, but it was better than nothing.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye. On the third night, he and Bandit Leader touched the boundary of the Giant Spirit Sect.
In a nameless cave in the small mountain valley, he saw the key to the Giant Spirit Sect's forbidden area. The key didn't look like a key. Instead, it looked like a small spear that was less than half a foot long. The tip of the spear flashed with a cold light.
Following the same pattern, he once again arrived outside the forbidden area of the Giant Spirit Sect's back mountain with Bandit Leader. Yang Xuan looked at the few thatched huts, but he didn't feel the existence of a Great Venerable from inside. There were only a few Venerables and some ordinary Xiantian disciples guarding the surroundings.
Yang Xuan couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart. Where did the few Great Venerables who were originally guarding the forbidden area go?
However, he had no choice but to release the arrow. After touching the door, he directly inserted the key into the small hole on the door. At the same time, spiritual energy was emitted, blocking any sound.
The door opened. Behind the door was darkness without any light.
After entering the door, he quietly closed the door without making a sound.
Behind the door, there was a flight of stairs that led downwards with no end in sight.
Yang Xuan looked at Bandit Leader. Bandit Leader understood and walked in front.
Here, his spiritual sense was suppressed and couldn't spread far. It was equivalent to nothing.
How could a forbidden area not have any traps? This was also the reason why he insisted on bringing Bandit Leader with him.
However, something that shocked him happened. Bandit Leader had just taken two steps when a dark hole suddenly appeared on the originally ordinary stairs. Caught off guard, Bandit Leader's entire body began to sink rapidly.
Bandit Leader was shocked. He suddenly turned around, wanting to escape. However, there seemed to be an incomparably powerful suction force coming from the dark hole, making him unable to escape.
Yang Xuan's reaction couldn't be said to be slow. Just as Bandit Leader's body began to sink, he had already rushed forward and reached out to grab him.
However, in the next moment, an irresistible force came from the hole, causing Yang Xuan's movements to stagnate.
In the blink of an eye, Bandit Leader had already disappeared into the dark hole. The last thing Yang Xuan saw was Bandit Leader's inexplicably shocked face.
The hole had disappeared. The stairs were still stairs. There was nothing strange about it. It was as if what had just happened had never happened.
Yang Xuan squatted down. However, no matter how he observed, even using his spiritual sense to scan, he couldn't see how the stairs had turned into a hole and swallowed Bandit Leader.
Bandit Leader had disappeared in such a strange way. It was so strange that Yang Xuan felt an inexplicable sense of horror in his heart.
However, Yang Xuan didn't have time to waste. If he retreated now, he didn't know how long he would have to wait to enter this place again.
The Earth Spirit Qi quietly gathered and tightly wrapped around his body. Then, he carefully continued to walk downwards.
However, the strange thing was that along the way, he didn't encounter any danger. There wasn't even the slightest abnormality.
Yang Xuan walked on tenterhooks. After an unknown period of time, he finally saw a glimmer of light in front of him.
After walking down for a while, a stone door appeared in front of him.
On both sides of the stone door, there was a stone statue. The stone statue was in the shape of a human with its head lowered. Its hands were held together and in its palms, there was a dim light.
The light Yang Xuan saw was emitted by these two lamps.
The dim light shone on the stone door. The stone door was very simple and looked like it had existed for a very long time. There were some birds and beasts engraved on it that Yang Xuan had never seen before. It looked very mysterious.
There was a bronze ring on the stone door. It was rusty and it looked like no one had been here for a very long time.
Yang Xuan grabbed the bronze ring and tried to push it.
"Creak!"
The stone door opened and what appeared in front of Yang Xuan was a huge space.
