The Eternal Saint of Alchemy

"Xiao Fan...you are truly a blessing to our Xiao family!"

Xiao Fan waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, let's talk about this later. My friend's injuries are serious and he needs treatment as soon as possible. I can't be disturbed by anyone for the next three days."

Xiao Zhankui nodded, then personally sent men to seal off the west courtyard, preventing anyone from approaching.

For three consecutive days, Xiao Fan did not rest, refining pills day and night.

He took out three petals of the Ice Soul Lotus, along with dozens of auxiliary medicines, and placed them into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron to begin refining.

The Breakthrough Pill, a third-grade elixir, requires extremely high control over the heat and the proportions of medicinal materials; any mistake could ruin the entire effort.

Xiao Fan was on high alert, not daring to be distracted in the slightest.

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the Qiankun Creation Cauldron slowly rotated, and the cracks on its body automatically healed as the alchemy process progressed, which both surprised and delighted him.

Three days later, accompanied by a slight tremor, the lid of the cauldron opened automatically, and a rich fragrance of elixir wafted out.

Three pure white pills floated in mid-air, shimmering with a cold light.

Breakthrough Pill! Done!

Xiao Fan put the pills into a bottle and let out a long sigh of relief.

Three Breakthrough Pills are enough to push the three people's cultivation level directly from the peak of the Spirit Realm to the Yin Realm.

He took one out and personally brought it back to the Yun family.

Yun Xiaotian accepted the pill with trembling hands.

"Xiao Fan, this... this was made by you?"

Xiao Fan nodded and said, "Uncle Yun, you take it. I'll protect you."

Yun Xiaotian took a deep breath and then swallowed it in one gulp.

A moment later, a violent aura erupted from him, shaking the entire room.

Yun Ruoxi stood at the door, her hands tightly gripping her clothes, her palms sweaty.

Half an hour later.

Yun Xiaotian stepped forward from the crowd, his entire demeanor undergoing a dramatic transformation. His cultivation level had risen from the peak of the Spirit Realm to the second rank of the Yin Realm!

"Good, good, good!" Yun Xiaotian laughed loudly, his voice so loud that the roof shook.

Yun Ruoxi's eyes immediately turned red.

Xiao Fan smiled slightly and cupped his hands, saying, "Uncle Yun, congratulations."

Yun Xiaotian released his daughter, went to Xiao Fan's side, and patted him heavily on the shoulder.

"Xiao Fan, you've done me, Yun Xiaotian, a great favor! If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know!"

Xiao Fan laughed and said, "Uncle Yun, you're too kind. But I do have a few things I need your help with."

"explain!"

"Shen Wanshan of the City Lord's Mansion has been relentlessly pressuring the Xiao family ever since he entered the Yin Realm. I want Uncle Yun to step forward and join forces with the Xiao family to fight against the Shen family."

Yun Xiaotian agreed without hesitation: "Alright! From now on, the Yun family and the Xiao family are one family!"

Upon hearing his words, Yun Ruoxi's face flushed crimson once more.

Xiao Fan winked at her, which made her glare at him angrily and run away in a flash.

After returning to the Xiao family, Xiao Fan began refining Soul Nourishing Pills for Han Fei to take.

The Soul Nourishing Pill, a third-grade elixir, requires a special material: Soul Crystal.

Soul Crystal ore is extremely rare, found deep within the Netherworld Mountains. Xiao Fan obtained a small piece by chance in a secret realm, and has yet to use it.

Then, he threw soul crystals into the Qiankun Creation Cauldron and added dozens of medicinal herbs, which he then quenched with a gentle fire.

This training lasted for five days.

Once the pill was formed, a jet-black pill, gleaming with a cold light, flew out.

Xiao Fan fed Han Fei a pill, then sat on the edge of the bed, waiting silently.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, Han Fei's eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"Where...where is this?"

"The Xiao family." A look of relief appeared on Xiao Fan's face. "You've finally woken up."

Han Fei struggled to sit up, rubbing his temples, looking completely bewildered.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

"Ten days."

Han Fei was stunned for a moment, then suddenly grabbed Xiao Fan, his eyes filled with gratitude.

"Brother Xiao, you saved our lives, we will never forget it! If you ever need my help again, just call me!"

Xiao Fan smiled slightly: "Take care of your health first, and we can talk about the rest later."

Han Fei nodded and lay back down in his seat.

Xiao Fan walked out of the house and stood in the courtyard, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

Although the trip to the Netherworld Mountains was fraught with danger, it was also very rewarding.

The Ice Soul Lotus, the Breakthrough Pill, and my friend Han Fei—these are the most important things.

Most importantly, his cultivation level broke through to the Yin Realm, bringing him one step closer to the peak of his previous life.

"The next step is to attack the Shen family."

The news of the alliance between the Xiao family and the Yun family was like a bombshell, instantly detonating throughout Donglin City.

Those who had initially thought the Xiao family would be suppressed by the City Lord's Mansion were now dumbfounded.

How big is the Yun family? The second largest family in Donglin City. The patriarch, Yun Xiaotian, is a master who has just broken through to the Yin Realm and is one of the top figures in the entire Donglin City.

Although the Xiao family's foundation is slightly inferior, the emergence of Xiao Fan, a peerless alchemist, is enough to make up for this.

Together, the two are already showing signs of overshadowing the City Lord's Mansion.

Inside the city lord's mansion, Shen Wanshan sat on a grand chair with a gloomy expression.

"The Xiao family and the Yun family have formed an alliance?" His tone was calm, but it gave Shen Zhao a feeling that a storm was brewing.

"Yes." Shen Zhao bowed his head and said, "I heard that Yun Tianxiao took the Breakthrough Pill that Xiao Fan refined for him, and his cultivation has now reached the second level of the Yin Realm. I can confirm this."

"A Breakthrough Pill?" Shen Wanshan frowned slightly. "A third-grade pill, Xiao Fan can refine it too?"

"That's not all. There's also a fourth-grade spiritual herb called 'Ice Soul Frost Lotus'."

Shen Wanshan remained silent for a long time.

He realized that he had underestimated Xiao Fan.

I initially thought he was just a spoiled brat who got lucky, but it turns out he's a hidden master. He's proficient in alchemy, cultivation, poetry, and more, and he also knows how to win people's hearts.

This kind of person is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than that brute Xiao Zhankui.

"Father, what should we do?" Shen Zhao asked.

Shen Wanshan stood up, walked to the window, looked at the darkness outside, and slowly said, "Since we can't use it, then let's destroy it."

"But the other side has a Yin realm—"

"So what?" Shen Wanshan sneered, "What do you think I've been doing for the past month or so?"

He took out a blood-red token and handed it to Shen Zhao.

"Take this with you, let's go to Black Wind Stronghold."

Shen Zhao picked up the token and his expression changed drastically: "Black Wind Stronghold? Those are the desperados?"

"Yes. After this matter is over, I will give them half of all the assets of the Xiao and Yun families."
