I am Master Maoshan

Liu Jun took the pen and gently stroked the lines on the pen with his fingers, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that once he signed this contract, he would completely lose his freedom and become Ximen Bisheng's slave.

However, the current situation does not allow him to make many choices. He is at the mercy of others, and this is a reality he cannot change.

Thinking of this, Liu Jun's eyes flashed with determination. He picked up the pen and slowly wrote his name on the black cloth. Every stroke seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, condensing his inner struggle and helplessness. After writing his name, he bit his fingertips and dripped a drop of blood onto the contract.

Instantly, the master-servant contract seemed to be activated, emitting a dazzling light. The golden words and the black cloth intertwined to form a mysterious and powerful contractual force. Liu Jun and Ximen Bisheng were both enveloped by this power, as if they were tightly connected by some invisible bond.

"Don't you need to think about it again?" Ximen Bisheng looked at Liu Jun, with a barely perceptible hint of joy in his voice. This master-servant contract gave him peace of mind.

However, Liu Jun just sneered, his eyes full of ridicule and helplessness.

"What can I change if I think about it again?" Liu Jun whispered, "I am the fish on the chopping board. Since I can't change my fate, I can only accept it."

After saying this, Liu Jun took a deep breath, as if to suppress all his reluctance and helplessness in his heart. He looked up at Ximen Bisheng, with a complex emotion flashing in his eyes - uncertainty and fear about the future, as well as resistance and reluctance to fate.

Ximen Bisheng, however, really enjoyed the look in Liu Jun's eyes. What he liked most was to play with some peerless geniuses in the palm of his hand. He enjoyed this feeling.

"Young man, please continue to refine the pills. I'll give you three days. After three days, no matter how many you have refined, you need to leave here with me," Ximen Bisheng said to Liu Jun with an unquestionable determination in his tone.

Liu Jun didn't say anything, just nodded slightly, then turned and stepped into the glowing light curtain of the formation.

"Continue to refine the elixir." Liu Jun's voice sounded within the light curtain.

The little phoenix and the ghost doll didn't say much. They were in tune with Liu Jun and already understood his current plan.

Following Liu Jun's movements, the little phoenix spread its wings and spewed out blazing flames from its mouth. The flames were hot and pure, like the purest fire power between heaven and earth.

The ghost doll was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by black ghost energy. It used this power to accurately control the balance of spiritual power within the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron, ensuring the smooth progress of the alchemy process.

Liu Jun was fully focused on refining the elixir, skillfully adding various herbs. These herbs were colorful and fragrant, and each one contained rich medicinal power and vitality.

However, unlike in the past, the herbs he added this time did not seem to be simple things for restoring spiritual power, but contained more profound and complex medicinal properties.

Xu Baoer next to him had a gleam in her eyes. She stared at Liu Jun's movements closely, her eyes full of curiosity and anticipation.

Although she was not proficient in alchemy, she was a doctor, and a very good one at that. Naturally, she could recognize every medicinal herb that Liu Jun threw into the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron.

The combination and matching of these medicinal herbs made her come up with an astonishing guess.

"This... this is the combination of medicinal ingredients for Qianyuan Wudao Pill!" Xu Baoer was shocked.

Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill is a legendary pill. Its preciousness and efficacy are incomparable to ordinary pills.

What’s more important is that the Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill can not only help practitioners restore their spiritual power and improve their cultivation, but also has the magical effect of helping people comprehend the laws of heaven and earth and break through bottlenecks.

Although this Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill also belongs to the level of divine pills, its status and power are much higher than many divine pills that exist in the world today.

Xu Baoer knew this very well, so she was full of anticipation and awe for Liu Jun's alchemy this time.

As the alchemy process progressed, the entire space was filled with a strong medicinal aroma and fluctuations of spiritual energy.

The flame of the little phoenix became more and more blazing, and the ghost energy of the ghost doll became more and more pure. Liu Jun's face became more and more solemn. He knew the difficulty and importance of this alchemy, so he did not dare to slack off or relax.

Time passed quietly, and in the blink of an eye, two days and two nights had passed. During this long process, Liu Jun always maintained a high degree of concentration and calmness. He constantly adjusted the combination of medicinal materials and the control of the fire to ensure the smooth progress of alchemy.

Xu Baoer was always waiting by the side, her eyes full of anticipation and nervousness, expecting the legendary Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill to be successfully born.

"Master Ximen, this is not right. Shouldn't this guy be refining eight or ten pills in one furnace? How come after two days and two nights, not a single furnace of pills has come out?" Zhang Wuchen frowned, and with a puzzled look on his face, he walked to Ximen Bisheng with Mo Wushang, and couldn't help but remind him.

Their hearts were shrouded in a lingering sense of uneasiness, as if something important had gone wrong, but they were unable to accurately grasp the root cause of the problem.

"Do you know how to make alchemy or do I know how to make alchemy? If you don't understand, just shut up and keep watching!" Ximen Bisheng was concentrating on the alchemy furnace, his brows knitted, his face slightly solemn. Hearing Zhang Zhongchen's doubts, he retorted somewhat unhappily. Although Ximen Bisheng also felt a hint of uneasiness quietly spreading in his heart, he still stubbornly believed in his own judgment.

After all, Liu Jun had signed a master-servant contract with him, which was certified by the Heavenly Dao and had absolute binding force. Once Liu Jun had any intention of retaliation, he would immediately vomit blood and die without him having to do anything himself, and receive the most severe punishment from the Heavenly Dao.

After hearing what Ximen Bisheng said, Zhang Zaochen and Mo Wushang shut their mouths and stopped talking. They knew that alchemy was a serious matter and that if they were not careful, all their efforts would be wasted.

So, both of them chose to stand aside silently, watching Liu Jun's every move quietly, hoping that this guy would not do anything weird.

Especially Mo Wushang, he had dealt with Liu Jun the most and knew that Liu Jun was a person who was unwilling to suffer losses and would not admit defeat.

He found it incredible that he actually compromised this time and signed a master-servant contract with Ximen Bisheng, becoming Ximen Bisheng's servant.

At this time, Liu Jun was concentrating on controlling the fire, quickly forming seals with his hands and muttering something.

His eyes were deep, as if he had merged with the elixir in the Ten Thousand Demon Cauldron. Although two days and two nights had passed, Liu Jun had no intention of giving up. He firmly believed that he would succeed and must succeed.

The reason why he wanted to refine the Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill, which he was not completely sure about, was very simple, and that was because of the heavenly punishment brought by this pill.

During the elixir refining process, the birth of each elixir is accompanied by a thunder tribulation of varying sizes. This is the test and punishment of heaven for those things that go against the will of heaven.

However, those ordinary thunder tribulations are nothing more than minor fights for powerful alchemists. They can easily withstand them with just a little bit of tricks and continue their alchemy career.

But this Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill is by no means an ordinary thing. Its medicinal effect is so strong that it is beyond imagination, so strong that even the Heavenly Dao believes that such a pill should not exist in the world. Therefore, when this pill is about to take shape, the Heavenly Dao will definitely send down an unprecedented terrible thunder tribulation in an attempt to destroy it invisibly.

However, Liu Jun had already anticipated all this, but he still did it without hesitation because he had a bold plan - to use this thunder tribulation to deal with Ximen Bisheng who was eyeing him not far away.

As time went by, the aroma of the elixir around the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron became stronger and stronger, as if the entire space was filled with this aroma. The aroma contained endless vitality and energy, as if it was the purest gift from nature. However, beneath this fragrance, there was a frightening power hidden, which was the breath of the impending thunder tribulation.

Liu Jun stood in front of the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron with a determined look. He knew that this thunder tribulation would be a life-and-death contest between him and Ximen Bisheng. He had to use his wisdom and strength to gain the upper hand in this contest. And the Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill and the thunder tribulation it brought were the most important bargaining chips in his hand.

Finally, at a certain moment, the elixir in the Ten Thousand Demon Cauldron was completely formed. At that moment, the entire space seemed to tremble. Then, a thunderbolt split the sky, announcing the anger and punishment of the heaven.

"What's going on? Why is there a thunder tribulation?" Zhang Wuchen was shocked, his eyes fixed on the dark clouds and flashing lightning that were gradually gathering in the air, his heart filled with confusion and uneasiness.

"Because the formation that blocks the aura of the elixir has been lifted by Liu Jun." Mo Wushang next to him had a cold face, and there was a hint of solemnity in his tone that was difficult to conceal.

His eyes would occasionally glance at Liu Jun, as if he wanted to read more information from the other's expression.

Mo Wushang roughly understood what Liu Jun wanted to do, but this guess made him even more confused.

He didn't understand. Was Liu Jun trying to die together? You know, the power of the elixir's thunder tribulation is huge. Once it is triggered, the first to suffer are the elixir itself and the elixir refiner. This risky behavior is simply playing with life.

At this time, Ximen Bisheng's uneasiness became stronger. He subconsciously looked at the master-servant contract he had signed with Liu Jun, and found that there was no change in the relationship between the two of them. He was slightly relieved, but his vigilance was not reduced at all.

"Young man, what are you going to do?" Ximen Bisheng finally couldn't help but ask.

He stared at Liu Jun, trying to find the answer from his eyes.

Hearing this, Liu Jun explained with a smile: "I'm not doing anything. It's just that the power of this thunder tribulation is a little bit stronger. My formation can't withstand it, so I lifted the formation in advance."

As he spoke, Liu Jun gently waved his hand, and a light flashed in the Ten Thousand Demons Cauldron, and a pill emitting a faint fluorescent light appeared in front of everyone.

This is the Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill, a precious pill that countless people dream of. At this moment, it is quietly suspended in the air, as if it is silently fighting against the impending thunder tribulation.

"Senior Ximen, I've exhausted all my energy in refining the elixir. I'm afraid I can't withstand this thunder tribulation, what do you think?" Liu Jun's face was full of fatigue. He looked at Ximen Bisheng with a hint of helplessness and expectation in his eyes. At the same time, he carefully handed over the Qianyuan Enlightenment Pill in his hand, which contained strange fluctuations.

At this time, Ximen Bisheng was looking at the pill handed to him with greed and surprise.

His eyes flashed with complex light. Although he could not recognize what the pill was, the strong medicinal fragrance that wafted into his nose and the mysterious patterns on the surface of the pill all told of the extraordinary and precious nature of this pill. (End of this chapter)
