"Yan Ruchen has disappeared into Dan Yun City without a trace. How do we find him?" True Monarch Chixiao furrowed his brow.
Though they are Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they dare not act recklessly in Pill Alliance City.
"No problem!"
True Monarch Yue Qian let out a cold laugh, a hint of a sinister light flashing in his eyes: "I have already contacted two fellow cultivators. They will arrive in three days."
"At that ti, we will lay in ambush outside the city. Yan Ruchen must leave Dan Yun City, and by then, he will have nowhere to escape."
With five Nascent Soul True Monarchs joining forces, including so at the peak of Early-stage Nascent Soul, they could even handle a Mid-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
The Snake Demon Monarch licked his scarlet lips, greed filled his vertical pupils: "This Rat Demon’s bloodline, devouring it grants immortality. We can hardly wait any longer."
...
Five days later.
Within Dan Yun City, in the Celestial Alchemist’s pill refining chamber.
With a crisp, lodious sound like that of a jade chi, a multicolored glow shot skyward from the ancient pill furnace, enveloping the chamber in smoke and a rich pill fragrance.
"It’s done!"
The Celestial Alchemist couldn’t help but reveal a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
He slowly raised his hand, a spiritual light flew from the top of the furnace into his palm, transforming into a crystal-clear Pill.
The Pill emitted a brilliant multicolored glow, with a tiny, vividly lifelike figure that seed to swim within it, astonishing all who saw it.
"This Nascent Soul Pill, the quality is excellent!"
The Celestial Alchemist carefully examined the Pill in his hand, nodding in satisfaction.
Xu Ping, who had been waiting silently at the side, had a flash of joy in his eyes, and the stone in his heart finally settled.
Although the chances of failure were low with the Celestial Alchemist’s skills, the possibility still existed.
Had it failed, it would have been a bitter disappointnt.
Thankfully, the Nascent Soul Pill was finally refined.
"Fellow Yan, please check it first."
The Celestial Alchemist flicked his fingers, and the Nascent Soul Pill landed in Xu Ping’s hand.
Xu Ping somberly received the Pill, inspected it, and then put it away, bowing respectfully: "Thank you, Celestial Alchemist."
"You’re too kind, Fellow Yan. This is just my duty." The Celestial Alchemist waved his hand, a kind smile on his face.
Then, the two of them moved to the living room to chat leisurely.
The Celestial Alchemist explained so tips on using the Nascent Soul Pill in detail.
The conversation was pleasant and harmonious.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
"Now that the Nascent Soul Pill is refined, I must return to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to prepare for my breakthrough into the Nascent Soul stage," Xu Ping rose to say goodbye.
"Take care, Fellow Yan."
The Celestial Alchemist stroked his beard with a smile, "When we et next, you will surely be a fellow cultivator of my level."
"Then I’ll take your kind words to heart, Celestial Alchemist," Xu Ping replied with a smile and a bow.
As he reached the door, Xu Ping suddenly paused and turned around: "I encountered so trouble along the way, it seems soone has taken an interest in ."
"I wonder if the Celestial Alchemist has any way to help quietly leave Dan Yun City’s area of influence?"
"Soone’s after you?"
The Celestial Alchemist furrowed his brow, a hint of seriousness and contemplation in his eyes.
Anyone who dared target Yan Ruchen would not be ordinary.
At least two Nascent Soul cultivators or a peak Early-Stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have the audacity.
He would certainly avoid such powerful opponents.
But after a mont of thought, the Celestial Alchemist still decided to help Yan Ruchen out.
After all, only when he achieves Nascent Soul can the value of helping twice be maximized.
If he were intercepted midway, all efforts would be in vain, which would be a loss to both parties.
Furthermore, with his concealnt ability, safely escorting him out of Dan Yun City shouldn’t be a problem.
"No worries, I will arrange for you to join a team that is escorting pills."
The Celestial Alchemist nodded, with a tone of certainty and confidence, "Within Dan Yun City’s area of influence, no one dares easily intercept a Pill City Alliance team; at most, they will sweep the team a few tis with Divine Sense."
"Thank you very much, Celestial Alchemist!" Xu Ping’s eyes flashed with joy as he bowed.
Although his disguise ability also gave him a fair chance to leave safely, blending into the team arranged by the Celestial Alchemist seed far safer.
...
A month later, the large auction in Dan Yun City officially began.
Powerful figures from all sides flocked in, making the city bustling for a ti.
anwhile, an unremarkable escort team quietly departed from the north gate of Dan Yun City.
This team of over ten people was led by four cultivators wearing the outer disciple uniforms of the Pill City Alliance, with the rest dressed as ordinary guards.
Among the guards, a burly figure was the disguised identity of Xu Ping.
At this mont, he had perfectly concealed his aura; even if Nascent Soul cultivators swept their Divine Sense over him, it would be hard to detect anything unusual.
The team slowly left the city gates, heading towards the mountains north of Dan Yun City.
When they reached an open area about ten miles from the city gates, Xu Ping suddenly sensed several powerful Divine Senses sweeping in like a tide, enveloping the entire team.
"They’re here!"
Xu Ping felt a heaviness in his heart but maintained a calm face, continuing to move forward with the team.
He carried on with the team, walking with ease, his expression calm, just like an ordinary guard performing his duties.
Those Divine Senses was like sharp blades, scanning each mber of the team over and over.
Xu Ping concentrated fully on maintaining his disguise, not daring to relax in the slightest.
Fortunately, after scanning several tis, those Divine Senses finally retreated, having found nothing amiss.
"Finally cleared it," Xu Ping thought to himself, secretly letting out a sigh of relief, though his vigilance remained undiminished.
The escort team continued onward, and only after several days, when they had completely left the Pill Alliance City’s area of influence, did Xu Ping finally relax.
