I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun was concentrating on refining the ninth batch of precious medicinal materials. His mind was completely immersed in the process of refining the pill, so much so that he completely forgot that this was the last batch he was refining. When he finally succeeded in refining it, he was too focused and made some burnt smells.

The burnt smell drifted out of the hall and spread directly outside. The people waiting in the Ice Palace were already nervous and expectant, but when they smelled the burnt smell, their hearts instantly fell into an icy cave and became despairing.

At this moment, they only had one desperate thought in their minds, that is, all the nine materials failed to be refined without exception. Mu Qianchou could not bear such a heavy blow, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes, and the whole person fainted. You know, this is a master of the half-step God King realm, and he was unconscious because of this blow. It is conceivable what a huge shock this is to them.

The noisy sound outside the hall reached Liu Jun's ears. He slapped his forehead and said in annoyance, "Oh no, I forgot this is the ninth one."

Then, he quickly waved his hand to dispel the burning smell in the hall. Afterwards, he deliberately smeared some furnace ash on his face, carefully took out the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill that he had prepared long ago, and walked out of the hall slowly with a trembling body.

"What on earth happened?" Liu Jun looked at Mu Qianchou who had fainted on the ground, with a look of pretended surprise on his face, and asked loudly.

"You, you succeeded in refining it?" An elder of the Ice Palace was about to respond to Liu Jun's question, but he suddenly turned his head and his eyes were immediately attracted. He saw the jade box in Liu Jun's hand.

The jade box was translucent, and because of this, one could see the extremely precious Chaos Kaiyuan Pill inside the jade box with extreme clarity.

As soon as the elder's words came out, the Ice Palace masters who had been tightly surrounding Mu Qianchou quickly turned their heads. Their eyes, as if attracted by a magnet, stared intently at the jade box in Liu Jun's hand, their eyes full of curiosity and desire.

Even Mu Qianchou, who had fainted on the ground and was unconscious, was slowly awakened and opened his eyes under the influence of the unique and powerful aura of the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill.

"I succeeded. Fortunately, I have accomplished my mission and successfully refined a Chaos Kaiyuan Pill." A pleased smile appeared on Liu Jun's face, and he said with a bit of pride in his tone.

Mu Qianchou was instantly refreshed when he heard this, and he immediately stood up and walked quickly to Liu Jun, looking very cautiously at the elixir inside the jade box. He saw that the elixir was covered with dense and intricate mysterious runes.

"It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, it's the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill, it's the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill! It's exactly the same as recorded in the ancient books, with a strong medicinal fragrance and flowing pill patterns. This is definitely the legendary Chaos Kaiyuan Pill!" A master alchemist in the Ice Palace had a red face and his voice trembled slightly with excitement. His eyes were shining with disbelief, as if he had witnessed the birth of a miracle.

The other alchemy masters were also excited. They looked at each other with shock and joy in their eyes. In the God Realm, divine pills were rare to see, and many alchemists could not see a real divine pill in their entire lives. Now, they were lucky enough to witness the refining of the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill with their own eyes. This luck was like a blessing from heaven, which made people feel awe.

"Oh, that's not right. Why is there no thunder tribulation for the divine pill?" Suddenly, a master from the Ice Palace frowned and spoke in confusion, breaking the joy.

Before he finished speaking, everyone looked up at the sky and found something unusual. Normally, the birth of a divine elixir should be accompanied by the arrival of a thunderbolt, which would show how powerful the elixir was. But at this moment, the sky was clear without even a trace of dark clouds. It was as if the thunderbolt had disappeared out of thin air.

Everyone looked at each other with confusion and puzzlement on their faces. They thought to themselves, is there something special about this Primordial Chaos Kaiyuan Pill that doesn't even cause a thunder tribulation? Or is it that the thunder tribulation has not arrived yet and is brewing?
Just as everyone was full of doubts and was about to ask Liu Jun for the truth, the sky suddenly changed, as if an invisible hand was fiddling with the vitality between heaven and earth. Dark clouds gathered quickly, rolling like ink, and in the blink of an eye they covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire Ice Palace in darkness.

"The thunder tribulation is coming!" Someone exclaimed in a low voice, with a tone of nervousness and anticipation. Everyone looked up and stared at the sky, only to see lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, and thick lightning flashes through the clouds, as if they would pour down at any time and completely devour the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill.

"Activate the sect protection formation to block the thunder disaster!" There was unquestionable determination in Mu Qianchou's voice. Her eyes were like torches, staring at the increasingly turbulent thunderclouds in the sky, as if she wanted to block everything outside the Ice Palace.

"Master, it's too late!" The voice of an Ice Palace master was filled with anxiety and helplessness. As soon as he finished speaking, a sturdy thunder dragon suddenly emerged from the rolling dark clouds in the sky. Its body was winding, and lightning and thunder intertwined, like the anger of the gods, roaring towards the Ice Palace. The momentum was so fierce that it seemed to tear the entire world apart. The Ice Palace's sect protection formation was created by the ancestors of all generations with great effort. It was powerful enough to resist many external threats. However, the opening of this sect protection formation was not achieved overnight. It required a certain amount of time and complex spells to cooperate before it could exert its true power. But at this moment, the thunderclouds in the sky that were constantly gathering and becoming more and more oppressive were obviously not going to leave any breathing space for the people of the Ice Palace.

"Form a formation!" Mu Qianchou's voice sounded again, this time, her tone was more anxious and resolute. She knew very well that it was not easy to refine the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill. This was not only the result of Liu Jun's personal efforts, but also the hope of the Ice Palace's future. Whether it was a thunder tribulation or a heavenly tribulation, she would never allow the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill to be destroyed as soon as it was born.

Hearing this, the masters of the Ice Palace quickly took action. They were agile, like the wind in the forest, and quickly stood in the predetermined formation. Everyone's face was full of seriousness and determination. They knew that at this moment, their fate was closely linked to the fate of the Ice Palace.

As the formation gradually took shape, powerful forces surged out of their bodies, gathering into a torrent that could not be underestimated. Although the sect protection formation had not yet been fully activated, this force was enough to make the approaching thunder dragon feel a little threatened, and its roar seemed to pause slightly.

Faced with the might of heaven and earth, the people of the Ice Palace did not flinch at all. They gritted their teeth, formed seals with their hands quickly, and continuously injected their own strength into Mu Qianchou's body.

With the Qi blessing of many masters in the Ice Palace, Mu Qianchou's aura began to rise rapidly and violently like bamboo shoots breaking through the ground in spring. Her eyes flashed with determination and unyielding, and the spiritual energy surrounding her body became more and more dense, as if even the space was trembling slightly under her majestic momentum. Although at this moment she was still separated from the middle stage of the Half-Step Divine King Realm by a subtle and insurmountable gap, the accumulation of this power was enough to deal with the upcoming Thunder Dragon.

The huge thunder dragon tumbled and roared, carrying the power of destroying the world, and in a flash it came in front of everyone. The thunder dragon was surrounded by dazzling arcs of electricity, and every swing seemed to tear the world apart, and the air was filled with a terrifying pressure.

Facing the purest lightning power in the world, Mu Qianchou took a deep breath. There was no fear in her eyes, but a burning fighting spirit. She moved as fast as a rabbit, flew into the air in an instant, intercepted the Thunder Dragon, and started a head-on confrontation with the Thunder Dragon.

Mu Qianchou quickly formed seals with her hands and chanted something. As her deep and powerful spell sounded, the surrounding space seemed to be given life, and the spiritual energy surged, turning into brilliant rays of light, heading towards the Thunder Dragon. These rays of light were not simple attacks, but she used the secret method of the Ice Palace to perfectly integrate her own spiritual energy with the spiritual energy of the world, forming a unique means of defense and counterattack.

The thunder dragon roared, and the arc of electricity was like a net, colliding fiercely with the light released by Mu Qianchou in the air, erupting with a deafening roar. Every time they fought, it seemed as if countless stars fell, and the light splashed, reflecting the whole world like a dream. In this violent storm-like attack, Mu Qianchou's figure was erratic, sometimes turning into a stream of light and shuttling between lightning, and sometimes condensing spiritual power, using fists, feet, swords and other combat skills to start a shocking contest with the thunder dragon.

Everyone in the Ice Palace looked up at the sky, only to see Mu Qianchou and the majestic Thunder Dragon colliding in the air. Every clash seemed to tear the sky apart, making the air around them buzz. Their faces were all tense and solemn, and their hearts were tense, fearing that if Mu Qianchou was not careful, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.

At this moment, a voice that was extremely discordant with the tense atmosphere suddenly rang out, breaking the silence around.

"Awesome, such speed and skills, he is worthy of being the master of the Ice Palace!" I saw Liu Jun, who had appeared from a corner at some point, with a rattan chair in his hand. He sat down on it carelessly, crossed his legs, held a handful of melon seeds in his hand, and ate them with relish, squinting his eyes, pointing and commenting on the thrilling duel in the sky, looking very comfortable.

Seeing this, all the masters of the Ice Palace were speechless. They secretly complained in their hearts, but they couldn't say anything because of the relationship. After all, Liu Jun was now the benefactor of the Ice Palace, a guest of honor they invited, who helped them refine the Chaos Kaiyuan Pill. With such a great favor, they naturally didn't dare to offend him easily.

However, just when everyone was thinking about their own things, Liu Jun suddenly shouted, "Oh my god, be careful, Palace Master Mu, here comes another thunder dragon!" His voice was loud and clear, instantly bringing everyone's thoughts back to the crisis at hand.

Everyone was suddenly awakened, and when they looked up, they found that another thunder dragon had suddenly emerged from the dark clouds, with lightning wrapped around its body, and it rushed towards Mu Qianchou with great momentum. For a moment, the atmosphere became tense and critical again.
