"Aunt Qing, you're back?"

The girl didn't turn around. With a soft utterance from her rosy lips, a clear, melodious sound, like a silver bell, echoed across the mountaintop.

As her voice faded, a woman dressed in a light blue dress appeared beside her, her face full of sorrow.

"Xun'er..."

"How's it going? Any news about him?"

The girl sat up from the stone platform, turned around, and revealed a smiling face that exuded a pure and refined charm. At this moment, her voice, which was usually quite calm, was surprisingly filled with a hint of impatience.

It has been about five or six years since Xun'er left Xiao Jue. In these years, Xun'er has obviously matured a lot. Now, compared with the girl she was back then, she has lost some of her naivety and gained a calm and serene quality from the depths of her soul.

However, no matter how she changes, there is still one thing she retains: when she hears news related to that name, her usually calm heart will be stirred by ripples.

Clearly hearing the urgency in Xun'er's tone, Gu Qing sighed inwardly. In the years since returning to the Gu Clan, Xun'er had only truly acted like an ordinary young girl when she heard about Xiao Jue.

Her usual calm and unwavering demeanor was like that of an old monster who had cultivated for many years; she had achieved a profound and unfathomable level, but she lacked the liveliness that a young girl should have.

Of course, knowing Xun'er's status and position, he naturally understood that she could never be like an ordinary girl; her identity destined her to be extraordinary.

The man who could be worthy of her would surely be the most outstanding person on the continent. At this moment, although Xiao Jue has already reached that point, he does not seem to be a good match for Xun'er, because she is the young master of the ancient clan!

These thoughts flashed through Gu Qing's mind, but his face was full of doting affection as he smiled and nodded, then recounted what she had experienced since leaving the Gu Clan.

"After I left the Ancient Realm, I went to Canaan Academy in the Northwest Continent. Although I found Xiao Jue, I was also suppressed there."

"Who!?" Xun'er was very surprised. With Gu Qing's strength as a half-saint, how many people in the Northwest Continent could be her match?

Back in Wutan City, Ling Ying, a peak Dou Huang, was secretly protecting Xun'er, but in reality, it was Gu Qing, a half-saint, who acted as Xun'er's guardian.

"I was suppressed twice."

Gu Qing found it difficult to speak, but still told the truth: "The first time was when I was suppressed by Lei Xi, the daughter of Lei Ying, the patriarch of the Lei Clan. Although she is of the same generation as you, she is the same age as me and her strength far surpasses mine. She is already a four-star Dou Sheng."

"She didn't make things too difficult for me; after suppressing me for a while, she let me go."

"But then, I encountered the Supreme Elder of the Yan Clan, Huo Ling, who was second only to Yan Jin in strength. Her strength was the same as that of the three immortals of my ancient clan, all of whom were seven-star Dou Sheng. I was suppressed by her at Canaan Academy this time."

"She was with Xiao Jue, but I only sensed their presence before the fire spirit easily suppressed me."

After hesitating for a moment, Gu Qing said, "Xiao Jue seems to have joined forces with the Yan Clan and the Lei Clan."

Xun'er fell silent upon hearing this, then slowly said, "Don't tell Father about this."

"I already know."

A figure suddenly appeared beside them. Gu Yuan said calmly, "I didn't come here on purpose to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just noticed that Gu Qing had returned, so I came to check on you."

After Gu Yuan finished speaking, the three of them fell silent. In the end, no one spoke, and Gu Yuan disappeared from the spot again.

Gu Qing sighed inwardly. Of course, Gu Yuan hadn't just heard about it. She had reported the news to Gu Yuan the moment she returned to the Gu Clan before coming to Xun'er's place.

The reason she showed up was to make Xun'er believe that she was not the one who betrayed her, and she did not want to create any rift or distance between her and Xun'er.

Xun'er said calmly, "Aunt Qing, please let me have some peace and quiet by myself."

……

Meanwhile, Xiao Jue of the Northwest Continent was refining pills. The pills he was refining were not eighth-grade pills, but ninth-grade pills, specially made for Cai Lin.

The materials Xiao Jue used to refine the pills this time were extremely precious, and they were treasures that could not be activated by the Flame of Life.

Fire orbs from the fiery lizardmen of the underground magma world of Canaan Academy!

Previously, Zhu Kun had given these things to Xiao Jue and Zi Yan, but they had never had a chance to use them. Now, Xiao Jue had put all these fire beads into the fire cauldron.

At the same time, Xiao Jue added thousands of medicinal herbs to harmonize the energy within the fire pearl. The resulting Grade 9 precious pill would undoubtedly have the highest spiritual quality!

The combined energy of the fire orbs of over a thousand Dou Zong Flame Lizardmen, over a hundred Dou Zun Flame Lizardmen, and two Half-Saint Flame Lizardmen is no less than that of a Grade Nine Treasure Pill, or even the most top-tier Grade Nine Treasure Pill.

The latest novel is first published here!

In addition, Xiao Jue had over a thousand extremely precious medicinal herbs. If he weren't worried that the colorful scales wouldn't be able to absorb them, he would have already refined them into a ninth-grade Xuan Dan.

Such a grade nine precious pill does not have many special effects; it merely contains a vast amount of energy. Although its spirituality is only that of an ordinary grade nine precious pill, the energy within it is far beyond that of an ordinary grade nine precious pill.

However, Cai Lin's true form, being an Eight-Colored Sky-Swallowing Python, is even more suited to taking such pills to enhance her strength. Furthermore, Xiao Jue can use the Yin-Yang Technique to help her accelerate the refining process of the pills.

For Xiao Jue, who is now the number one alchemist on the mainland, forcibly fusing medicinal properties to refine a ninth-grade precious pill is an easy task.

In just three days, a Grade 9 precious pill was produced. Xiao Jue controlled the Heavenly Demon Puppet Tiger King to absorb the black demon lightning in the sky, and then reached out to suppress the Grade 9 precious pill and held it in his hand.

"Is this a grade nine elixir?"

Cai Lin, who had been by Xiao Jue's side these past few days, was also very interested in the pills in his hand.

"Ninth-grade pills, in a sense, have already seized the creation of heaven and earth, and are divided into three levels: ninth-grade treasure pills, ninth-grade profound pills, and ninth-grade golden pills."

"Among them, the ninth-grade golden pill has not appeared for thousands of years, and the ninth-grade profound pill is equally rare. Currently, among the alchemists still alive on the Dou Qi Continent, including myself and this clone of Long Yan, there are probably only five people who can refine the ninth-grade profound pill."

"Besides Long Yan and me, only Yao Dan, the former number one alchemist on the continent and the patriarch of the ancient Yao Clan, is confident in successfully refining a ninth-grade Xuan Dan."

"The other two Xuan Dan alchemists also have a 100% success rate in refining ninth-grade Xuan Dan."

"As for the Ninth-Grade Precious Pill, there are at most a dozen or so alchemists on the continent who can refine this kind of pill, no more than twenty." (End of this chapter)
