Hesitation will only make you miss great opportunities. After all, such Pill Alliance Conferences aren’t seen every year.
"Let’s do it!"
Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with determination, and he made a decisive decision.
He took a deep breath, adjusted his breath, and once again ford seals to cast the spell.
This ti, he didn’t pause and fully pushed his Mana, instantly maturing the two Spirit dicine plants to the thousand-year level.
The azure clouds expanded more than tenfold, and the life rain droplets pouring down beca even more dense.
The whole room seed to transform into an azure ocean, with the two Spirit dicine plants glowing like bright pearls in the center.
As ti passed, the Xuanyin Grass and Ice Crystal Heart Lotus underwent transformative changes.
The six leaves of the Xuanyin Grass had completely turned pitch black like black jade, and the patterns on it resembled manifestations of the heavens and earth.
The stalk beca transparent like black crystal, with strange black liquid flowing inside, exuding an ancient and chilling aura.
The Ice Crystal Heart Lotus was even more astounding, as if the whole flower was carved from the purest Profound Ice, crystal clear to the utmost.
The icy blue light at the lotus heart had ford a miniature nebula, slowly rotating, releasing chilling aura and Spiritual Power fluctuations that made one’s heart tremble.
Thus, ti slowly passed under Xu Ping’s accelerated maturation of the two Spirit dicine plants.
Three days flew by.
"It’s done!"
As the last drop of azure rain rged into the Spirit dicine, Xu Ping finally exhaled deeply and slowly opened his eyes.
At this mont, his face was as pale as paper, devoid of any blood, his forehead covered with fine beads of sweat, making him appear as if he had been severely ill.
Expending hundreds of years of lifespan in one go was sowhat overwhelming even for him.
However, Xu Ping’s eyes were filled with unprecedented joy and excitent.
"Thousand-year Xuanyin Grass, thousand-year Ice Crystal Heart Lotus..."
Xu Ping gazed at the two fully transford Spirit dicine plants before him, murmuring to himself.
"Even if I can’t exchange them for the Nascent Soul Pill and Tier Four Longevity Pill, at least they should be enough to sche for the Purple Heart Dragon Saliva Grass."
He carefully placed these two precious thousand-year Spirit dicine plants into a specially crafted jade box, then began to ditate to restore his Mana.
This ti’s consumption was indeed significant, requiring several days to fully recover.
...
Three days later, in the evening.
As the sun set in the west, Dan Yun City was draped in a layer of golden attire.
While ditating and adjusting his breath, Xu Ping suddenly heard a pleasant Divine Sense transmission, like a clear spring flowing directly into his mind:
"Yan fellow Daoist, co with , I’ll take you to et the Celestial Alchemist."
"Finally here."
Xu Ping’s heart was filled with joy, and he quickly woke up from his ditative state.
He swiftly tidied up his attire and ensured his appearance was appropriate, then took to the air, arriving above the inn.
Amidst the clouds, True Monarch Lan Ling stood in a light purple long dress, bathed in the setting sun, surrounded by a faint Spiritual Light, like a fairy from a painting, untouched by the mundane world.
That elegant deanor and extraordinary temperant inspired awe.
Upon seeing Xu Ping erge, she nodded slightly and lightly waved her delicate hand.
In an instant, a ghostly blue Escape Light enveloped Xu Ping.
The next mont, the two disappeared from their original spot, leaving only a faint blue light flickering in the sky for a mont before vanishing.
The Nascent Soul Escape Light was swift.
In just a short ti, they arrived at the Celestial Alchemist’s mansion.
This mansion was located on a small mountain in the east of the city, surrounded by mist and clouds, in a serene environnt away from the hustle and bustle.
"The Celestial Alchemist is one of the top Fourth Rank Lower Grade pinnacle alchemists of the Pill City Alliance, and his status is far higher than mine."
True Monarch Lan Ling introduced as they proceeded, "Be sure not to offend him."
"I naturally understand that," Xu Ping earnestly nodded in agreent.
Alchemists of this level are treated with respect not just by him but even by Mid-Stage Nascent Soul mighties.
He’d only invite trouble if he were to offend the other party.
...
"Please, True Monarch Lan Ling."
Led by a beautiful maid, Xu Ping and True Monarch Lan Ling arrived before a palace.
On either side of the palace entrance, a Magical Artifact shaped like Pill Furnaces floated, slowly rotating, and emitting a comforting fragrance.
Upon entering the palace, what t the eyes were walls inlaid with rare mica jade stones, emitting gentle light.
Seated on the main seat of the palace was an extraordinary old man.
He wore a plain white Taoist robe, with a simple ancient hair crown as an elderly sage, seated with hands behind his back, with flowing white whiskers like snow, a kind face yet exuding an inherently authoritative aura.
Though his attire was simple, his calm and composed deanor was priceless.
This man was none other than the renowned Celestial Alchemist.
What shook Xu Ping even more was the tall young man sitting below the Celestial Alchemist.
With broad shoulders and a sturdy build, an unwavering face, and sword-like brows matching his starry eyes, the deep black brocade robe outlined his tall figure.
The invisible Nascent Soul pressure emitted from him was as heavy as a mountain, yet restrained and unexpressed, demonstrating excellent control over his strength.
"Hongyi!!"
Xu Ping was shocked to the core, his pupils suddenly contracting. How could he possibly expect to encounter Hongyi here?
Moreover, the other party had already broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm, looking even younger than ten years ago, clearly due to the restructuring of the flesh after reaching Nascent Soul.
Hongyi’s gaze t Xu Ping’s, his eyes shifted slightly but soon returned to normal, as if he were rely observing an unfamiliar passerby.
This deliberate unfamiliarity made Xu Ping cautious internally, but he kept his expression unruffled.
"Celestial Alchemist, Fellow Daoist Hong."
True Monarch Lan Ling saluted the two, graceful and dignified, showcasing the aura of a Nascent Soul True Monarch in her gestures.
"Fairy Lan Ling."
The Celestial Alchemist and Hongyi returned the salute simultaneously, with impeccable courtesy.
Subsequently, the Celestial Alchemist’s gaze turned to Xu Ping, with a hint of surprise flickering in his eyes.
He squinted slightly, seemingly scrutinizing Xu Ping closely.
"Quasi-Fourth Rank Body Refining, a man of fortune!"
Although the Celestial Alchemist’s cultivation was only the typical Nascent Soul Level, his Divine Sense had astonishingly reached the peak of Early-Stage Nascent Soul.
