Chapter 110 Half-Step Divine Beast
Juexing's voice revealed a hint of distress: "The alchemy always results in the furnace exploding, no matter what level of spiritual herbs are used, or whether it is earth fire or the fire of a cultivator's dantian."

If it's heated, eight out of ten batches will explode. After that, no one who has not obtained a Pill Master certificate and is at the Foundation Establishment stage is allowed to touch spiritual herbs anymore.

"Sigh, I'm still just an alchemy apprentice. It's so frustrating seeing so many spiritual herbs I can't touch."

"The beast tide mission is already complete. It's good to leave. I can go back to my sect for some seclusion, or perhaps get my alchemist token." Shen Suiren lay back down.

Juexing, however, said: "We will not allow you to return to your clan for the time being, in case of questioning."

Even though the Nascent Soul cultivators cleaned and removed impurities themselves, they still managed to cause explosions in the furnace, seven out of ten times, so they weren't much better than us.

It is said that the spiritual herb on Dragon King Island underwent a change due to the changing weather and interference from the sea breeze, causing the spiritual herb to fail to dissolve when placed in the furnace.

For three days, not a single batch of Breakthrough Pills had been successfully condensed. The Nascent Soul cultivators decided to send half of their alchemists to the Taiyi Sect to refine pills.

He paused for a moment, then added, "We are currently investigating the cause, and we don't know who came up with the idea to cause this trouble."

We disciples are required to record in detail the condition of the herbs when they are picked, what is around them, and the weather conditions at the time, and submit the record.

Remember to write one. I'm not chatting anymore; I'll go find Nie Chengzhang to write one together.

Shen Suiren slowly sat up straight: "Complaining is one thing, but I'll write it seriously, after all, it concerns the breakthrough pill for the Nascent Soul stage."

I'm currently at the sect. Once our master has settled the demon race, we'll return immediately.

"Then let's meet at Taiyi Zongjian. Don't forget to bring some milk tofu pudding cakes, snow skin mung bean cakes, and eight-flavor Qing Shuang Su." Juexing had tried them once and couldn't forget them.

"I'll go prepare now." Shen Suiren hadn't left Tianhu Peak for the past few days because she didn't want to encounter those demons in the valley below.

The forty-nine demons of the Demon Court fought a hundred and eighty times in three days, but they insisted on living near King Chongming instead of anywhere else.

Every day, the sound of their magnificent cry echoes from the foot of the mountain.

Shen Suiren secretly guessed: The reason why the demons, big and small, dared not live on their master's side must be because they were afraid of the Little Dragon King and Ah Bai, who had transformed into a ninth-level being.

Unfortunately, the Dragon King and Tiger King did not move, but Ao Ao, who lived in the bamboo forest of Tiger Peak, would find them noisy and slap them down with a paw.

King Chongming was busy basking in the sun and moon on the mountaintop. After intervening once, he ignored them and stopped them from crying for help every few days.

Thinking of Chongming's prophecy, she lay down and looked at the Xuan Turtle at eye level: "Waaah, will you also be a ninth-rank after you transform? And Ji Yu too?"

"I don't know, I have to go now." Wuwu tucked its head in, turned its four paws, and scurried towards the corridor.

The little fox king was about to raise its paw to press it down when Shen Suiren shook her head to stop her, saying, "Why don't you ask? It definitely knows."

"Its reaction is the answer. Ao Ao is also considered an ancient divine beast, and A Bai is a half-step divine beast."

They both reached the ninth rank after the other two divine beasts, there must be some story behind that. "Shen Suiren had barely finished speaking when Ah Bai appeared before him, looking quite pretty.

He even deliberately floated in the air, trying to be half a head taller than her: "What are you talking about me for? What do you mean by 'half-step divine beast'?"

Shen Suiren went around in circles and said, "Above the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage and below the Deity Transformation stage, one can be called a half-step Deity Transformation."

Snapped

Ah Bai patted her head before landing, instantly becoming half a head shorter than her. "But you're still a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"So what if I'm a powerful demon? Come to think of it, my tiger skin looks pretty good, pure white, nothing special."

After saying that, she glanced at the little fox king, who scoffed at her in displeasure and ran off in the blink of an eye, saying, "I'm going to find the snow fox to make some ice-filled mung bean cakes."

"Tch, you little fox. Zhu Kuang and Zi Quan are going to Taiyi Sect soon, so get ready."

"Then, Zhu Kuang told you to remember this jade slip. You are not allowed to take it out of the sect." Actually, even after Ah Bai transformed, he was still like a half-grown child.

Shen Suiren suppressed a laugh as she took the jade slip: "Are you going?"

"I won't go. If I leave, the demons at the foot of this mountain will cause chaos." Her Tiger Peak and Heavenly Fox Peak are adjacent, forming a valley together. She also took on the sect's task of guarding the lesser demons.

Most importantly, because she took human form, everyone agreed to let Ziquan try to become a god, and she had to stay behind to guard the sect for Zhu Kuang.

"Aww, you want to leave?" That was Shen Suiren's first thought.

Ah Bai nodded approvingly: "Hua Xiong's cultivation has stabilized, and they both want to go back."

"Alright, I need to go and teach Ao Jian a lesson. That brat has turned most of the newly blossoming spirit fruit tree on Tiger Peak into a bare trunk."

"I'll give it to you." Shen Suiren suspected that after the dragon and tiger started fighting, the remaining half of the tree would also be bare.

"No need, I am now faster than a bird feather." As he spoke, Ah Bai had already vanished ten miles away, laughing heartily as he left.

Shen Suiren suspected that she was showing off on purpose. She turned around and saw the Little Fox King peeking out from behind the house. "Why are you hiding from Ah Bai? She's not going to punish you."

"Shh, look." The little fox king raised her paw to signal for a hushed tone, then took half a step to the right, whereupon a tall, muscular cultivator appeared, and he was rather... dark-skinned.

Shen Suiren felt the face looked familiar for some reason, and hesitated before asking, "Flower Bear?"

"It's me, I need your help." Flower Bear scratched his head; he wasn't quite used to human form yet.

Shen Suiren moved swiftly and appeared in front of them in the blink of an eye: "What is it first?"

Hua Xiong hurriedly said, "Can you sell me one medium-grade Longevity Pill?"

I'll give you the most precious treasure of Canglan Mountain..."

"Flower Bear, a mid-grade Longevity Pill is not worth this price."

"It can only extend its lifespan by a hundred years." Xiong Aoao interrupted him before he could finish the sentence.

Even after transforming, he still had an adorable round face and looked a head shorter than Ah Bai, but when he stood with his hands behind his back and wasn't smiling, he exuded the aura of a ninth-rank expert.

Their requirements are also higher: "At the beginning of the year, we need the best quality. Can you help us buy it?"

He had been waiting for Cen Che to come back and buy it, but after a few days, the little demons' idle chatter made him realize that he wouldn't be able to wait for anyone before he left.

While he was still hesitating about whether to look for it at the beginning of the year, Flower Bear solved the problem.

"How about the longevity fruit? I'll give you my longevity fruit." Shen Suiren took out a jade box and opened it.

A crystal-clear, tender white spiritual fruit, sparkling and radiant, exudes a sweet fragrance that instantly refreshes the mind and invigorates the spirit, making one want to devour it just by looking at it.

Bear Aoao and Flower Bear suppressed their drooling desire, "Can it extend lifespan by hundreds of years?"

"One fifty years, ten fifty years is also fifty years."

"The life-extending effect is a bit small, quite different from the superior-grade Longevity Pill." Xiong Aoao didn't understand the Longevity Fruit.

His king has already taken the Longevity Pill twice, and it's unknown what the effect will be the third time.

"We picked a total of thirty-six. After handing them over to the Dragon King, each person will only receive one." The Little Fox King slammed the jade box shut. The tree was delicate, and the Little Dragon King only allowed humans to approach it, forbidding demons from touching it.

Those who teamed up with the group at the beginning of the year collected these rare items, which were kept hidden away from others with the Dragon King's tacit permission.

"This is naturally grown and has more vitality than the longevity pills refined by cultivators."

"Take it or leave it." The Little Fox King glared at Sui Chu: "Why do you give away everything?"

“Awoo saved my life.” Shen Suiren knew that if Xiong Awoo hadn’t pulled her away, she would definitely have died under the Butterfly King’s palm.

"Take this to the Bear King. Now that we have another ninth-rank bear, we have more security." She stuffed the jade box into Ao Ao's hand.

"At the beginning of the year, when the Azure Flame Grass matures, I will bring it to you."

The Great King received a message from the Demon Court and wanted to take a gamble to break through to the tenth rank. "But he lacked vitality, so Xiong Ao Ao carefully put it away."

Shen Suiren couldn't help but ask, "You've decided so quickly?"

"Yes, he said that with me at the ninth level, he no longer has any worries. Now that he's breaking through to the next level, the Great Buddha Temple will give him its full support," Xiong Aoao said somewhat dejectedly.

Shen Suiren patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the Breakthrough Pill will be refined soon, and he will definitely be able to advance smoothly."

Then, if you want to send him to the Demon Court to retire, you'll have to strive to reach the tenth level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Xiong Aoao didn't say that the Great King didn't need the Breakthrough Pill. "I'm willing to follow him to advance. Let's go. The Great King is waiting for the Sect Master."

"Wait, let's exchange communication marks."

Then you can share these boxes of spirit dates and some lightning-struck wood with Senior Corpse King.

"Tell her again that my original communication talisman is broken." Shen Suiren quickly took out several items.

The two Kumamoto students were on loan to the school and were so poor that all they had were spirit stones. They felt embarrassed to give spirit stones to her, as if they were buying something from her.

As they left, they secretly discussed giving her more spiritual herbs in the future.

If Shen Suiren knew, she would definitely shout, "I love spirit stones so much!"

Sure enough, she and the Little Fox King went to the market to buy a bunch of things, and then bought another batch from the Foreign Affairs Hall, quickly spending tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Not to mention the many merit points spent in the Merit Hall. The only consolation is that the spiritual herbs gathered on Dragon King Island will be rewarded with a batch of merit points upon the team's return.

The Little Fox King was very interested in the top-grade Divine Harmony Pill from the Hall of Merit: "If you want more, I'll give you spirit stones."

"Fox King, please forgive us, but there is a limit to the number of pills we can exchange. Each person can only exchange a maximum of ten pills per month." Elder Wan checked the inventory and found that there were no new pills available. Starting this month, there will be no more supplies.

He really wanted to ask Yaofeng to refine more pills, but unfortunately the spiritual herbs in the Elephant King Valley secret realm had already been used up.

The little fox king, unaware of the inside story, was extremely disappointed. However, seeing that the other disciples were exchanging items with their disciple tokens, he transmitted his voice to Shen Suiren: "Can I exchange items with my token too?"

"Not for now, your identity jade token doesn't have any merit points stored." Shen Suiren had just explained to her what merit points were when she received an urgent message from Cheng Zhishun.

Upon seeing this, he grabbed the little fox king and ran towards Wenfu Peak.

……

"Why did Master suddenly faint? Cheng Zhishun, do you even know how to teach people?" Shen Suiren looked at her master, who was still vomiting blood while unconscious, and her grandmaster couldn't stop him. She grabbed the person and wanted to hit him.

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun spoke sternly: "At the beginning of the year, be quiet."

Shen Suiren shoved away the pale-faced Cheng Zhishun, but Cheng Zhishun collapsed without warning.

The little fox king released his spiritual power to catch the person.

“Cheng Zhishun!” Shen Suiren laid him down and took his pulse and pinched his acupoints in one smooth motion: “Could it be that the secret technique given by the Dragon King is wrong?”

"Impossible." The Little Dragon King and Ah Bai flew in together.

"Senior sister, she ingested a little bit of dragon blood, so she can't expel the lightning power." He breathed a breath of dragon's breath onto Situ Shiyuan, and scratched her forehead with his small hands.

Before long, he pulled out a lightning bolt as thin as a silkworm thread, and Situ Shiyuan immediately stopped vomiting blood, his breathing gradually stabilizing.

Shen Suiren noticed the scales on her master's face, which vanished in a flash: "All done?"

"Yes, it's like lightning has refined all five internal organs."

You, you get confused when you care. "Zhu Kuang just tried to find that trace of lightning, but unfortunately he couldn't succeed."

The Little Dragon King then ran over and blew dragon breath at Cheng Zhishun, saying, "He didn't take any dragon blood, so why isn't he awake?"

Seeing that it was no use, she plopped down on Cheng Zhishun's stomach, her little hand about to pinch his philtrum like she did at the beginning of the year, when his eyes snapped open:

"Something must have gone wrong with my master." As he spoke, he swallowed two Mind-Concentrating Pills.

The Little Dragon King wanted to ask a question, but Ah Bai pulled him away and covered his mouth.

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun came over to take his pulse. Apart from his rapid heartbeat, he was fine. "Did your master place a soul protection spell on you?"

"Yes, he was worried that I might get into danger while I was out there."

But I didn't tell him that after reaching the seventh level of Qi Refining, I could sense his danger.

This time, however, it was particularly serious. Cheng Zhishun had just felt like he was suffocating, and as he spoke, he got up to look at Situ Shiyuan.

Shen Suiren stepped aside, "It's too dangerous; we have to cut off this kind of contact."

If you sense that you've fallen during a duel, your opponent will simply save your life.

"It needs to be sealed off." Just then, Situ Shiyuan woke up. She was conscious and could hear everyone talking.

Cheng Zhishun breathed a sigh of relief, but did not agree. "It's good that you're alright. I secretly added the dragon blood to the tea because I was worried that you wouldn't take it, but I didn't expect it to be so potent."

You could definitely tell something was wrong with that tea, why did you force yourself to drink it?

“Even if the tea you serve tastes terrible, Master will still drink it.” Shen Suiren rolled her eyes.

Situ Shiyuan smiled and took Cheng Zhishun's hand, "Brother Shun, let's seal it. I believe your master will agree to seal it if he knows it will affect you."

Cheng Zhishun shook his head: "After he comes back."

Shen Suiren and his grandmaster tacitly led the three little ones out of the room, leaving the mother and son to discuss the matter further.

"Grandmaster, less than ten days have passed since we were teleported away, and two crises have already occurred."

"Do you know anything about the Xuanhuang Realm?" The information she had seen so far contained very little information about other realms.

Zhu Kuang Zhenjun pondered for a moment and said, "It is said to be second only to the ancient Taiyuan Realm."

We'll set off after dark. Have you prepared everything you need?

"Ready?" Shen Suirenxiaoxing clenched her fist as she headed to the Taiyi Sect, temporarily putting the Xuanhuang Realm aside.

She could never have known that just moments ago at the Spirit Realm Sword Sect, Cen Che and the others were waiting in front of the teleportation point, watching the array masters undo a restriction.

Just as the gate to the boundary was about to be revealed, three Mahayana cultivators suddenly appeared silently.

Without saying a word, they bombarded the defensive formation of the Sword Testing Forest.

Fortunately, two Mahayana practitioners, Lian Yu and Yuan Geng, were able to intercept them, but the defensive formation was destroyed in an instant.

One of the Mahayana spells struck the newly broken barrier, causing the teleportation portal that was about to appear to disappear again.

Upon seeing this, Lian Yu angrily said, "Zhuang Xingjian, how dare you harm Jianlin! I will fight you to the death!"

"Lian Yu, this is a warning. You knew about the teleportation portal but didn't inform us." The three Mahayana cultivators decided to stop while they were ahead, and then both sides landed to negotiate.

Inside the Sword Forest, Cen Che, Gui Yue, and the disciples of the two sects, no matter how fast they dodged, were still affected and injured. The oppressive aura of the five Mahayana stage cultivators made it hard for them to breathe.

"Master, those three are from the Taiyuan Sect." Yuanbei stared at the teleportation gate, extremely annoyed.

The Nascent Soul cultivators had already guessed: "Are their sources always this well-informed?"

It seems the ownership of the portal is about to change hands.

"It's not a good thing."

"Their intelligence gathering was incredibly fast."

Yuanbei shook his head: "It can't be that fast. Someone must have leaked it."

After taking the pill, Gui Yue transmitted her voice to Cen Che, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"
