Junior sister, I really need to control you

There are hardly any Great Immortals on the entire Five Clouds Peak. Are you worried that I will refuse?

It's a pity that this kid has already been taken seriously by the Shangguan family, otherwise she really wanted to use the Five Elements Treasure Wheel as an excuse to try to take him as a disciple.

But it doesn't matter. As long as Ling'er is reliable and can win over this kid, it won't make much difference.

She had previously worried that Ling'er's talent was not a good match for Li Yinsheng.

Unexpectedly, that girl was also blessed by heaven, and when her divine veins awakened, she showed some signs of ancestral regression.

Once her divine veins are fully awakened, her talent should be no less than this boy's, so they can be considered a perfect match.

……

Deep within the palace, in Shangguan Ling'er's quiet room.

At this moment, Shangguan Ling'er was not wearing her usual gorgeous colorful feather dress, but only a simple white gauze dress.

But her skin, from her forehead to her toes, was covered with a layer of beautiful, multicolored divine patterns.

These divine markings flowed and shifted on her skin like liquid, but no matter how they changed, they always vaguely formed an ancient phoenix totem.

As these totem-like divine markings shone brighter on her body, her aura also increased accordingly.

"I wonder if Yin Sheng has arrived yet." She closed her eyes slightly to cultivate, her heart filled with anticipation.

"If we work harder, we can stabilize the divine veins before the Dao Examination, and then we won't miss Xiaoyu and Yinsheng's Dao Examination."

"Hmm... Xiaoyu's Shaoyang Dao exam is a bit earlier. If it's really not possible, it's okay to miss it."

"But after the Lesser Yang stage, it will be the Greater Yang stage that Yin Sheng will participate in. We must stabilize the Divine Vein before then, no matter what."

Thinking about how much her cultivation would improve when she met Li Yinsheng again, she couldn't help but smile.

When she last emerged from seclusion, she had only just stabilized her Grand Master realm.

But after she emerges from seclusion this time, she can begin preparing to condense her Dharma form!

Although it was mainly due to the awakening of the divine veins and the benefit of ancestral reversion, it is unlikely that such a good thing will happen again in the future.

Regardless, once they emerge from quarantine, they can finally enjoy the dumbfounded expression on Yin Sheng's face.

No matter how extraordinary his talent is, it would be impossible for him to reach the level of condensing a Dharma body in such a short time through normal cultivation alone!

When she emerges from seclusion this time, her cultivation level will far surpass Yin Sheng's!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Ling'er was immediately filled with motivation.

……

At the same time, a dazzling five-colored light rose up in the palace.

In the flash of light, Li Yinsheng stood beside Elder Qin, surrounded by a five-colored leaf.

"Aunt Qin, where are you taking me?" he asked curiously. "Aren't we going to refine that dragon pearl?"

"I am going to take you to refine the Flood Dragon Pearl," Elder Qin said, "but this method is not up to me, but requires another elder who is more skilled in this art."

"Another elder?" Li Yinsheng asked, puzzled. "Which elder could be more skilled than Aunt Qin, who cultivates the Five Elements, in helping me refine the Flood Dragon Pearl?"

"The Eighth Elder of the Dharma Lineage, Yue Fuyun, is the youngest alchemist in the history of the Dharma Lineage at the Dharma Aspect Realm," Elder Qin explained. "If she hadn't been born many years later, the title of 'Number One Alchemist' held by the Heavenly Cauldron True Person of the Azure Cloud Dharma Lineage would probably have been hard-pressed to be preserved."

"It's a pity that this Junior Sister Yue is so engrossed in alchemy and has such a cold and aloof personality that she rarely interacts with us senior brothers and sisters."

Elder Qin shook his head and sighed, "Otherwise, I would definitely ask her to open a furnace every year to refine some good pills."

Li Yinsheng thought to himself, "Now I know why that elder has such a cold and aloof personality."

If every elder went to her to refine a batch of pills every year, she probably wouldn't have anything else to do all year round.

"However, this time I have no choice but to trouble Junior Sister Yue."

Elder Qin was unaware of Li Yinsheng's inner turmoil and continued to explain.

"She once created a unique method of external alchemy, which could refine demon cores into pills, which cultivators could then consume to refine the essence within the demon cores."

"Although this external alchemy method cannot help people increase their cultivation level, its essence can indeed be perfectly absorbed and refined by cultivators."

"Even the origin that has been refined by a cultivator can continue to be nurtured and strengthened, as if it were something one was born with."

"Hiss... So miraculous?" Li Yinsheng exclaimed in surprise.

There is actually a method in the world that allows human cultivators to refine the essence of demon cores.

"There are still quite a few restrictions. For example, the external pills can conflict with each other, and one can only take one in a lifetime."

"There is also the external elixir, which can only allow cultivators to obtain its essence, but cannot inherit the supernatural powers and powerful physique that the demon race is born with."

"What's even more troublesome is that there are some dangers when taking the external elixir. The demon souls remaining in the demon core will resist fiercely and try to perish together with it."

"However, you don't need to worry about that. I will personally take action to protect your soul."

Elder Qin explained in detail.

Li Yinsheng nodded. Hearing about the many limitations of this external alchemy method, he felt it was somewhat reasonable, although its wonder was still undeniable.

But when Elder Qin mentioned that the demon souls within would resist to the death, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

Rebellion? Rebellion is good! I've been looking for a place to test my Moon Soul Sword.

The speed of the Imperial Decree Master's escape light was extremely fast. After exchanging only a few words, Elder Qin spoke.

"We're almost there. The herb garden where Junior Sister Yue lives is just ahead."

"She did not receive the Dharma lineage's teachings; instead, she lives in the medicine garden in front. You can look around freely once you go in, but please do not touch anything indiscriminately."

Elder Qin cautioned, "Junior Sister Yue's herb garden contains many delicate medicinal herbs. If we damage them, we'll both be kicked out by her."

Li Yinsheng immediately became solemn: "I will remember this!"

Chapter 143 Hidden Dragon Valley, Alchemy

A dazzling, multicolored beam of light descended before a simple medicinal garden that resembled an ordinary mansion.

Elder Qin led Li Yinsheng to the entrance of the medicine courtyard and coughed lightly.

"Junior Sister Yue, I have something to discuss with you. Please open the formation."

Although this junior sister Yue was ranked one place lower than her, alchemists held a superior status, which left her no choice but to be polite.

As soon as she finished speaking, the gate to the herb garden in front of her opened automatically, and a flash of light appeared on the gate.

"Alright, the formation is activated. Follow me."

Elder Qin said to Li Yinsheng.

Li Yinsheng's gaze swept over the walls and gates of the herb garden, and he discovered that there were many parts of the formation that blocked divine sense and sound.

The divine sense below the Dharma Aspect Realm is probably unable to interfere with it at all.

It seems that this Elder Yue truly prefers tranquility.

Upon entering the herb garden, Li Yinsheng kept Elder Qin's instructions in mind and only looked at the various strange and wonderful medicinal herbs without touching them.

After passing through the herb garden, Elder Qin led Li Yinsheng directly to a simple wooden house and pushed open the door to enter.

In the center of the wooden house stood a bronze single furnace, about half a person's height, with a deep blue flame burning inside.

A figure dressed entirely in white sat cross-legged in front of the stove.

Li Yinsheng looked up.

The one sitting cross-legged refining pills must be Elder Yue; he looks to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

She wore a simple white dress with no visible decoration, her beautiful and refined face was free of makeup, and even her long hair was simply tied up with a wooden stick.

To his surprise, the long hair that was neatly coiled up was a clear, silvery-white color, just like moonlight.

And those eyes staring at the alchemy furnace were a clear, warm crimson, like ruby.

As Elder Qin pushed open the door and led Li Yinsheng in, Elder Yue also looked up.

A hint of surprise flashed across her face: "You're Li Yinsheng?"

Li Yinsheng and Elder Qin were both stunned.

"Junior Sister Yue, do you know this young friend Li?"

Elder Qin asked with a look of surprise.

That doesn't make sense. She knew that when the Grand Elder summoned them for discussion, he had also spoken to this Junior Sister Yue.

But this junior sister Yue was clearly not interested; she didn't even show up at the time and stayed in the medicine garden to refine pills.

At most, she could only remember Li Yinsheng's name. How did she recognize Li Xiaoyou at a glance?

"Elder Yue...do you know me?" Li Yinsheng asked.

However, he wasn't as surprised as Elder Qin, since he didn't know those details.

Faced with their questions, Elder Yue blinked but did not answer. Instead, he waved his hand to extinguish the flames in the alchemy furnace and stood up.

"What is it, Senior Sister? If you need pills, let's wait for another ten years or so. I'm currently studying a pill formula and have no interest in refining pills."

"More than ten years!" Elder Qin immediately forgot everything else. "Junior Sister, you want me to wait for more than ten years?"

Although more than ten years is not a long time for her, what kind of elixir formula requires more than ten years of research?

Moreover, given Li Yinsheng's talent, he could probably catch up with the age he has cultivated to this point in just over ten years!

Li Yinsheng, who was standing to the side, was even more unable to accept it.

More than ten years?

If you wait more than ten years, the daylily will be too late!

I need to gather the five elements before I can condense the Dharma form!

"Junior sister, junior sister," Elder Qin hurriedly said, "It's just refining an outer core with a dragon pearl, it won't take long, there's no need to wait that long, right?"

"A dragon pearl elixir?" Elder Yue seemed somewhat surprised. "Senior Sister hunted a dragon?"

"It wasn't me, it was this young friend Li. He has a dragon pearl and wants to refine it into a source of water element."

Elder Qin pointed at Li Yinsheng.

"Let me see," Elder Yue said.
