Mortals, and even my disciple Han Li, don't mess with me!

Without exchanging a word, Wu Yun and Song Yu quickly and quietly arrived at Luoyun Sect.

Not many people were alerted during this time, and even those disciples who knew about it were given a gag order.

Wu Yun and Song Yu then went their separate ways back to their caves.

……

The first thing Wu Yun did upon returning to his cave was to take out the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill he had worked so hard to obtain and begin studying it.

Only after confirming that there were no problems did I feel relieved.

There are really only two things left to do.

The first thing to do is to refine the Nine-Bend Elixir.

Because there is only one Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng, the opportunity is not many.

At most, there will only be three or four chances.

If Wu Yun's alchemy skills weren't also top-notch, he wouldn't have had enough confidence to refine it.

To Wu Yun's surprise, he succeeded in refining it on the first try.

There were no unexpected events.

Moreover, two were successfully refined at once, which truly surprised Wu Yun.

After refining the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill, Wu Yun focused on his final cultivation, attempting to break through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage and successfully condense his Nascent Soul.

The most difficult part of this step is overcoming the inner demons.

Fortunately, Wu Yun obtained the Spirit Stabilizing Pill; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been confident of getting through it smoothly.

The situation among the three factions of Yunmeng is much better than before.

Although the alcohol was taken away, nothing else major happened.

Wu Yun is naturally unaware of all this.

Because he is currently focused on breaking through the bottleneck of the Nascent Soul stage, he is completely ignoring everything else.

Of course, from the outside perspective, Wu Yun was trying to break through the bottleneck of the Core Formation stage and condense his Golden Core.

Therefore, several Core Formation stage cultivators were specially assigned to stay next to Wu Yun's cave to help protect him, just in case.

As for Wu Yun's disciples, several of them have already successfully established their foundations.

This further enhanced Wu Yun's reputation within the Luoyun Sect.

Countless Qi Refining stage disciples wanted to become Wu Yun's disciples.

Unfortunately, he is currently in a critical period of seclusion and has no time to deal with these things.

Moreover, even if he were to collect maps now, he would only accept disciples at the Foundation Establishment stage or above.

Disciples in the Qi Refining stage are limited only by their cultivation level.

Meanwhile, Han Li, his disciple who was in the late stage of Core Formation, was also diligently cultivating.

They are also refining the Nine-Bend Spirit Pill and the Spirit-Stabilizing Pill.

Han Li obtained the recipe for the Spirit Stabilizing Pill from the Three Holy Lands.

A portion of the roots and stems of the three sacred trees were also obtained and are being cultivated in small green bottles.

Therefore, if we're talking about who benefited the most this time, it has to be Wu Yun's disciple, Han Li.

For some reason, Han Li felt a bit suspicious of his master, Wu Yun, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

In addition, he was even more concerned about his condensation of the Nascent Soul.

He basically doesn't care about or concern himself with external affairs.

As for the sect's tasks, he handed them all over to Yin Yue to handle.

He focused on cultivating and refining pills in his cave, hoping to condense his nascent soul as soon as possible.

Apart from the matter concerning the three factions of Yunmeng, neither the righteous nor the demonic paths acknowledged their actions, and their plans failed.

Ultimately, the matter was dropped.

But the atmosphere of peace between them has become very tense, as if a major war could be restarted at any moment.

Time passed little by little, year by year, and ten years flew by in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of ten years, Wu Yun finally broke through to the peak of the late-stage Core Formation realm.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he's at the half-step Nascent Soul realm.

On the very day he broke through, his feelings became exceptionally complicated.

After all, they were about to rise to the top in one fell swoop.

But if you fail, there will be little chance to start over.

"We can finally begin!"

After taking a deep breath, Wu Yun took out the two most important pills.

One is the Stabilizing Elixir, and the other is the Nine-Bend Elixir.

He had put in a lot of effort to refine these two pills.

Now the time has finally come to use it.

Without hesitation, Wu Yun swallowed the two pills in one gulp.

……

On this day, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth outside Wu Yun's cave suddenly surged and churned, transforming into countless vortexes of spiritual energy in just a short while.

Every cultivator within this area felt it, especially the Core Formation cultivators who were specifically assigned to protect Wu Yun.

As soon as they stepped out of their respective caves, they saw colorful specks of light appearing in the sky above them. Without exception, these specks of light were all pure spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

It looks even more beautiful than the bright stars in the night sky.

But this was just the beginning. While they were still in awe, similar scenes appeared within a radius of a hundred miles, though far less spectacular than what they had witnessed.

"What's going on? Can such a phenomenon occur when a golden core is condensed?"

The peak master of Tianquan Peak did not show much improvement; instead, his brows were furrowed with deep confusion.

He was the first high-ranking Core Formation cultivator to choose to protect Wu Yun.

The stronger Wu Yun is, the higher the future status of Tianquan Peak will be, simply because Wu Yun is a disciple of their Tianquan Peak.

But to his utter surprise, Wu Yun's condensation of the Golden Core seemed to be far more extraordinary than ever before.

In fact, it's not true at all.

"This isn't the condensation of a Golden Core, it's the condensation of a Nascent Soul!"

Just as the peak master of Tianquan Peak and the others were surprised and puzzled, an old man with silver hair appeared in front of them.

"See you at Master Cheng's place!"

"Greetings, Master Cheng!"

Upon seeing this silver-haired elder, all the elders and disciples of the Luoyun Sect bowed respectfully.

"Alright, get up. Leave this place immediately, do not disturb anyone, and do not make any noise."

The silver-haired elder, Cheng Tiankun, waved his hand and immediately ordered everyone to leave.

His face was filled with complex emotions, and his eyes were fixed on the cave below.

Just then, another middle-aged man appeared in front of him, his face slightly sallow.

"Senior brother, has someone formed a Nascent Soul here?"

As soon as the middle-aged man landed, he immediately expressed his doubts to the silver-haired old man.

"That's right. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Wu Yun, the cultivation genius that our Luoyun Sect has not seen in a thousand years."

At this point, Cheng Tiankun's face showed a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

"I knew it! How could a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator possibly produce a thousand-year-old spiritual tea? Turns out he's a late-stage Core Formation cultivator. He's cultivated in the Falling Cloud Sect for many years before choosing to condense his Nascent Soul. I hope he can successfully condense his Nascent Soul this time. That way, our sect will have one more Nascent Soul cultivator, which would be an excellent thing."

"Senior brother, what do you mean?"

The middle-aged man was shocked and blurted out something he could hardly believe.
