Six Realms Immortal Emperor

On this day, Ochi finished refining another batch of pills, which were still 30% good pills and 70% bad pills.

Xu Jingtian selected all the best pills and put them into a pill bottle. He carefully carried the pill bottle and was about to send it to the storage room when Yuezhi called him back.

"Today is the day the sect collects the pills. In a little while, one of the four elders will send a disciple to collect them. Go to the storage room to register first, and then wait outside the pavilion," Yuezhi instructed.

"Understood, Elder Ochi," Xu Jingtian nodded and carefully carried the pill bottle to the storage room.

"Hmph, every time it's only 30% good pills, how come Ochi hasn't improved at all!" Elder Shou Dan said while registering the pills he brought.

"Yes, seventy percent of the pills are useless!" Xu Jingtian hurriedly replied.

Xu Jingtian had wanted to ask him about replacing the waste pills with good ones several times, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous. This time, when the elder guarding the pills asked, he deliberately brought up the waste pills and carefully observed the elder's reaction.

But Elder Shoudan seemed not to hear, not taking the matter of the discarded pills to heart at all, and was only busy counting the number of pills. He moved slowly, first pouring out the pills brought by Xu Jingtian, counting them one by one, and then putting them into several red bottles. It took him quite a while to distribute all the pills.

As it grew later, Xu Jingtian, worried about the discarded pills in the alchemy room, couldn't help but remind him, "Elder, today is the day for inner disciples to collect their pills. Don't be late."

Elder Shoudan looked up at him and said slowly, "I don't need you to remind me, I remember it clearly."

He pointed to several red bottles and said, "I've already distributed the pills according to the number of inner disciples. These are Five Elements Blood Coagulation Pills; each person can have one." Then he pointed to some blue bottles and said, "These are Spirit-Stabilizing and Mind-Concentrating Pills; each person can have ten. Don't get them mixed up."

"Yes, Elder."

Since Elder Shoudan didn't mention the matter of ruining the pill, Xu Jingtian was too embarrassed to bring it up again, so he could only find another opportunity.

Xu Jingtian carried the divided pills to the outside of the pavilion. This was the first time he had stepped out of the Wan Dan Pavilion during the day, so he was very curious.

He looked up at the plaque hanging in the attic, but couldn't make sense of it. Then he took out the jade pendant that Ochi had given him, waved it in front of the attic, and stared intently at the spot where the light screen had appeared, but saw nothing.

"Strange, where is that light barrier?"

Just as he was wondering, a disciple in white robes arrived on a sword and landed on the peak. He stopped a few feet outside the pavilion and was quite surprised to see Xu Jingtian. Why had Uncle Yuezhi's attendant changed again?

"Disciples of Pingtian Pavilion have come to receive their pills."

Could this be the pill-collecting disciple Ochi mentioned? It seems the Brahma Sect truly harbors hidden talents; even a random disciple sent to collect pills can fly on a sword.

"Where is Pingtian Pavilion?" Xu Jingtian asked curiously, but he held the pills in his arms and did not go forward immediately.

Xu Jingtian was unaware that retrieving the pills, though seemingly a simple matter, was a crucial matter for the sect, allowing no room for error. Therefore, each elder sent a core disciple to collect them.

The white-robed disciple said irritably, "You're a new recruit, aren't you? You've never even heard of Ping Tian Pavilion. Kid, you'll find out when you break through to the third level of Qi Refining and become an inner disciple."

He clearly didn't take Xu Jingtian seriously. Seeing that Xu Jingtian hadn't given him the pills, he impatiently took out a jade token from his pocket and threw it at Xu Jingtian.

Xu Jingtian took it. The jade pendant was very similar to his, except that it was engraved with the words "Pingtian Pavilion" and "Feng Yong". It turned out that this inner disciple was named Feng Yong, and he could also fly on a sword. It seemed that his cultivation level was similar to that of Yan Gang, whom he had met when he first came up the mountain. No wonder he was so arrogant.

"So it was Senior Brother Feng Yong. Here you go." Xu Jingtian passed the jade token back.

Seeing that he was still standing there, the white-robed disciple became somewhat anxious: "I can't enter the barrier of your Wan Dan Pavilion. I would like to trouble you, junior brother, to send out the pills so that I can go back and report."

"Oh, I see." Xu Jingtian finally realized.

It seems this light barrier is truly powerful; even disciples who fly on swords cannot get in.

Xu Jingtian carried the pill bottle toward Feng Yong. When he stepped over the light barrier, the barrier appeared out of thin air but did not stop him. He passed through it with ease.

Xu Jingtian couldn't help but admire the barrier; it was truly miraculous. He wondered which master had set it up. And that jade pendant—the wearer could move freely in and out of it. It was incredibly thoughtful.

The white-robed disciple accepted the pill, coldly said "Farewell!" and made no other comment. He drew his long sword, flew away on it, and disappeared into the clouds in a few flashes.

"Disciples of Yue Tian Pavilion have come to collect their pills!"

"Disciples of Shengtian Pavilion have come to collect their pills!"

Just after Feng Yonggang of Pingtian Pavilion left, two more pill collectors arrived one after the other. Although they were young, they were both highly skilled and arrived and departed on swords, looking quite impressive.

Xu Jingtian couldn't tell what level their cultivation had reached, but he could sense that they were arrogant and haughty, and none of them even glanced at him.

This is understandable; wherever you go, the strong are respected. If this is true even in the secular world, it's even more so in the hierarchical world of cultivation. It seems that cultivation level is paramount here; when will he be able to reach that level?

However, Xu Jingtian didn't pay much attention. The other party's cultivation was profound, so of course he didn't need to take this little boy seriously. He was just filled with envy for flying on a sword. If he could do that, it would be much easier to find his parents in the future.

Just as Xu Jingtian was lost in thought outside the pavilion, another disciple in white flew over.

"Disciples of Qingxia Academy have come to collect their pills!"

It turned out to be a female disciple. Perhaps it was related to cultivation, but she was tall and slender, with jet-black hair, jade-like skin, bright and beautiful eyes, and an incomparably charming appearance. Every smile and frown exuded an indescribable charm.

Xu Jingtian was stunned to find that there was a woman even more beautiful and charming than Dongfang Siyu.

The female disciple blushed slightly and scolded coquettishly, "What are you looking at? I am Pu Lan, a disciple of Qingxia Academy. Hurry up and bring me the pills!"

Xu Jingtian then realized that it wasn't that he was lecherous, but rather that he hadn't seen many women his age, and Pu Lan was simply too captivating. He gave an awkward smile, twitched his handsome nose, and honestly said, "I just couldn't help but glance at Senior Sister Pu Lan because she's so beautiful. I hope you won't mind!"

Whether he was seeing a beautiful woman or simply not thinking straight, he actually blurted it out himself!

However, anyone would feel extremely pleased to hear kind words, let alone a woman.

Pu Lan smiled slightly, then chuckled and scolded again, "You chatterbox, hurry up and bring the pills over!"

Seeing that she was easy to talk to, and remembering Dongfang Siyu, Xu Jingtian inquired of her, "Senior Sister Pulan, do you know Dongfang Siyu?"

"You mean Junior Sister Siyu? Of course I know her. Why are you asking about this?" Pu Lan suddenly looked wary upon hearing this.

After all, they were both women, and they would get jealous no matter where they went. Xu Jingtian couldn't help but smile.

"Senior Sister Pu Lan has misunderstood. Dongfang Siyu is the eldest daughter of our Dongfang family. I was able to enter the Brahma Sect this time thanks to the eldest daughter."

"Oh, I see." Pu Lan said with a smile, "Junior Sister Siyu has always been very good and diligent in her cultivation. She has just been promoted to an inner disciple and her cultivation has broken through one after another, which is why she is deeply loved by Master."

"Really? Miss is amazing! I'm so happy for her." Xu Jingtian was pleased to hear that Dongfang Siyu was performing well in the sect. However, even he himself couldn't understand why he cared so much about Dongfang Siyu.

Pu Lan then frowned and said softly, "But this time, when Junior Sister Siyu returned from her family visit, for some reason, she was suddenly put into confinement by Master."
