Ye Qiu left the Piaomiao Sect, escorted personally by a middle-aged Saint, leaving many disciples of the Piaomiao Sect astonished.
"Our sect’s Saint escorting him down the mountain, tsk tsk... This treatnt is truly enviable."
"He has the prowess. If you can refine Divine Grade pills, the Saint would treat you the sa way."
"Young and with such high status and strong abilities, compared to him, it’s like we’ve been living a dog’s life."
"Don’t insult dogs; you weren’t born a dog."
...
After returning to the Dan Shen Sect, Ye Qiu did not cultivate but instead reflected on his journey to the Piaomiao Sect.
In Ye Qiu’s hand was a pill recipe, and his storage ring contained many Spiritual dicines required by the recipe. The reason he acquired these naturally was that he agreed to refine God-level Pills for the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect.
Previously, he promised to refine a Divine Grade pill for the Piaomiao Sect, and now that the Saint stepped forward and designated the pill to be refined, it was clear that they intended to use the divine pill to break through the Saint Realm.
Ye Qiu weighed the pros and cons in his mind. Once the divine pill was refined, whether it would be beneficial or detrintal to him and the Dan Shen Sect, particularly if the other party indeed advanced another step in their martial path, would it pose a threat to him.
Ultimately, Ye Qiu still agreed. Although there was so risk involved, it was not significant.
Several Saints of the Piaomiao Sect swore an oath and made promises, and Ye Qiu felt that the other party would likely not repay kindness with enmity.
Of course, when negotiating with a tiger, Ye Qiu naturally had his preparations, ready to face the crisis if the other party turned against him.
Actually, refining pills for them was more beneficial than harmful to Ye Qiu.
Firstly, the Dan Shen Sect and the Piaomiao Sect would maintain a good relationship. The rise of the Dan Shen Sect was rapid, and Ye Qiu understood that it could beco unstable easily. However, with the support of the Piaomiao Sect, many troubles could be reduced.
Secondly, cultivating a good relationship with a Saint is far better than having enmity. Even though he had a Saint’s avatar, it had its flaws and could only protect him temporarily. Therefore, maintaining a good relationship with the Saint from the Piaomiao Sect was extrely advantageous for him.
Finally, there were those three conditions, which he could propose freely, and the other party would always lend a helping hand.
Conversely, offending the Saint and making enemies with the Piaomiao Sect would only add another adversary. Why not have one more friend instead?
Ye Qiu was not in a hurry to refine the Divine Grade pill. With his Alchemy skill, especially using the mysterious Elixir Spell thod, he could refine the pill desired by the other party in less than a day, but Ye Qiu did not plan to do so.
He did not want others to be left with the impression that Divine Grade pills were easy to refine. These pills were not like those low-end ones, and if Ye Qiu showed extraordinary success in refining twice without fail, it would definitely attract others’ covetousness. Having too high a success rate would not be good.
Similar to treasures, they should never be showcased easily, as it would invite enemies.
Ye Qiu planned to pretend to fail several tis at first, and then finally succeed to avoid arousing suspicion. Otherwise, if soone targeted his Pill Refining Techniques, it would be troubleso.
In the realm of Alchemy, the mysterious Elixir Spell thod was Ye Qiu’s trump card, capable of transforming decay into miracles. Ye Qiu believed this Pill Refining Techniques would provide great assistance in the future, thus cannot be exposed, just like the three great treasures.
After Ye Qiu left, the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect stood in the main hall as the Piaomiao Goddess slowly walked in. The Saint said, "He agreed."
"Congratulations, Martial Uncle. As long as the divine pill is completed, the prospect of achieving the heavenly level is within reach," said the Piaomiao Goddess.
"The divine pill is just one factor for breakthrough, serving as the catalyst. Breaking through this realm is not simple at all. If not careful, it could lead to death and the disappearance of one’s path," the Saint said with a sigh.
"However... that Ye Fentian is quite a surprising youth. You said that the Thousand Illusion Sage died at his hands?"
"Precisely. The other day, the Thousand Illusion Sage personally acted to kill this young man. They entered the Formation, and only this young man erged alive, carrying the head of the Thousand Illusion Sage," explained the Piaomiao Goddess.
"That’s strange. I clearly perceived that the young man’s strength was only at the late peak Divinity Transformation Realm, not even reaching the Ruins Returning Realm. How did he manage to cross two major realms and kill the Thousand Illusion Sage?" asked the Saint.
Upon hearing the Martial Uncle ntion Ye Qiu’s martial prowess, the Piaomiao Goddess was quite surprised, realizing that Ye Qiu’s martial realm was Divinity Transformation Realm. Imdiately, she too wondered how a Divinity Transformation Realm could possibly kill a Saint, which was simply contrary to common sense.
"There’s definitely sothing unusual about Ye Fentian, but I’m certain he’s not so old monster but a genuine young Martial Artist. As for how he killed the Thousand Illusion Sage, there must be another reason," analyzed the Saint.
"Martial Uncle, do you think he might have a Saint expert with him, one in the open and one in the dark, just that we haven’t discovered them?" The Piaomiao Goddess’ words made the Saint’s expression flash, feeling this possibility was indeed considerable.
"Your words are not without reason; this could explain it. The death of the Thousand Illusion Sage must have been the act of the hidden Saint. If you hadn’t ntioned it, I’d nearly forgotten. This kid entered the Piaomiao Sect truly alone, without any strong experts accompanying him. Looking at it now, I seem to have made a mistake. There must have been experts following him; it’s just that I couldn’t detect them. To evade my probe, this is indeed remarkable." The Saint, the more he thought about it, felt that there was a hidden strong presence protecting Ye Qiu, at least at the Saint level.
The Piaomiao Goddess also felt that this possibility was very high.
"Piaomiao, go investigate this young man’s background. To have two Saint protectors, I feel this young man must hail from a remarkable background, it seems I’ll need to change so decisions," said the Saint. His previous idea was that once Ye Qiu successfully refined the divine pill, his strength would further advance, he would imprison Ye Qiu to continue refining pills for him. With his strength against only a single Saint beside Ye Qiu, he could easily handle it.
But now, it seems this thought needs to be abandoned. Ye Qiu must have more than one Saint beside him; there’s another one hidden, extrely adept at concealing themselves, even capable of evading his probe.
With two Saints, the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect had to think more deeply about Ye Qiu’s actual identity, being guarded by two Saints.
Could it be a Protector?
To mobilize two Saint level Protectors, it must be a super sect’s prodigy, the deeper the thought, the more the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect felt chills down his spine, realizing Ye Qiu was not to be provoked.
As the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect was contemplating the frightening possibilities, Ye Qiu was leisurely observing the Spiritual dicine garden, little knowing that the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect had severely misunderstood him, a misunderstanding that rather than being detrintal, actually assisted him, causing a strong apprehension towards him and his supposed backing sect.
If Ye Qiu knew about this, he’d definitely have mixed feelings; he’d certainly appreciate the nurous assumptions made by the Saint of the Piaomiao Sect.
He actually had no powerful backing or sect; he was just a lone individual. Though he had few enemies, those enemies’ strength was indeed formidable.
