Chapter 229 My Five Refinements

"Uncle Rong, why hold such a grudge against me? We are both thinking about the future of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom."

A languid and alluring voice rang out, captivating the heart.

A woman gracefully approached, her hair piled high, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her light gauze skirt trailing on the ground, radiating starlight.

The woman entered the Golden Palace, where Emperor Aoki and his son greeted her, and all the officials and elders paid their respects.

Wanwan, also known as Lady Wanwan, is the senior sister of Zixia Danshen and was once the ruler of the Qingmu Divine Kingdom.

Later, she was defeated by Zixia Danshen in both Taoist cultivation and alchemy.

After Zixia Danshen ascended to the position, she traveled far away to the Xingyan Divine Dynasty and married the Beidou Divine General.

Upon his return, he impeached the Purple Cloud Pill God and advocated for the replacement of the divine officials, which received the support of the elders of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom.

Even the generals of the Purple Cloud Pill God remained silent; they did not have a high opinion of the Wine Immortal.

As a divine official, the Wine Immortal has been a burden on the Purple Cloud Pill God for too long, and the divine general is unwilling to waste any more time.

Wanwan recommended Aoki Seiko as the candidate for the new priest, which was approved by the elders of the Aoki Divine Kingdom.

The Holy Son of Green Wood is a genius of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom, and his skills in cultivation and alchemy are amazing.

He is a third-tier deity and a top-grade fourth-tier cultivator; in every aspect, he is stronger than the Wine Immortal.

Choosing Aoki Seiko as the priest of Zixia Danshen is most appropriate.

"For the future of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom? I'm afraid it's for the Starry Sky Divine Dynasty."

The wine connoisseur spoke without restraint, his laughter cold and disdainful.

"Uncle Rong, you've misunderstood me. If it were for the Starry Sky Divine Dynasty, why would they have chosen our Holy Son?"

Wanwan has a solemn and dignified appearance, with a captivating charm that exudes a sense of awe.

"Rest assured, Elder Rong, and all the elders of the Divine Kingdom, I was born to be the Lord God's man, and I will die to be the Lord God's ghost. I will be loyal to the end."

Aoki Seiko pledged his loyalty to Zixia Danshen.

"Although my son is unruly, he is utterly loyal and devoted to the Lord God. In the future, he will stand with the Lord God through thick and thin, sharing joys and sorrows, and supporting each other through thick and thin..."

Aoki-sama took the opportunity to say something nice.

The father and son not only wanted Qingmu Shengzi to become a priest, but also wanted him to marry Zixia Danshen in the future.

After all, many of the chief gods and their priests are husband and wife.

"You think you're worthy? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourself in the mirror—"

The Wine Immortal sneered. Even if Qingmu Shenzi was a genius of the Qingmu Divine Kingdom, he still looked down on him.

Does this thing even deserve his daughter?

The expressions of Emperor Aoki and his son changed, but they held back.

“Uncle Rong, the Holy Son is recognized by the entire Qingmu Divine Kingdom for both his talent and achievements. He is the best candidate.”

When Wanwan spoke, she was the previous ruler of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom and the senior sister of Zixia Danshen, so her words carried great weight.

Seiko Aoki puffed out his chest, feeling smug.

With Wanwan's support, none of the old gods objected, and his chances of becoming a priest were extremely high.

"You dare to call this the best?"

The wine connoisseur scoffed and gave a cold laugh.

"Although Uncle Rong is unwilling, it is a fact that you are not as good as the Holy Son."

"Zixia has wasted too much time in the process of becoming a god, which is not good for her, nor for the Qingmu Divine Kingdom, and even less so for the loyal gods."

"Now is the time to put aside personal feelings and prioritize the greater good. Select the Holy Son as the High Priest. Once the High Priest is established, light the divine fire and give rise to the divine will."

Wanwan exuded an imposing aura. Today, all the generals and elders had gathered together, and she intended to take this opportunity to replace the priests.

Wanwan's words resonated with many people, including the elders of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom and the generals of the Purple Cloud Pill God, who all nodded in agreement.

Many people were skeptical of Zixia Danshen's appointment of Jiuxian as a divine official, believing that the Holy Son was far more outstanding than him.

In the past, people didn't dare to speak up, but now that Wanwan has started, everyone is quietly supporting her.

"I will certainly live up to everyone's expectations and dedicate myself to the Lord God."

Seiko Aoki immediately pledged his loyalty.

"Today, I relinquish my position as a priest!"

The wine connoisseur sneered, and his words immediately shocked everyone present.

Long Ge's expression changed. He was the one who most opposed to changing the priests, but he was not a member of the Green Wood Divine Kingdom and had no right to interfere.

"Uncle Rong puts the greater good first and is willing to let the Holy Son ascend to the throne. No one can match his magnanimity."

Wanwan was also surprised.

"Thank you very much, Elder Rong!"

Seiko Aoki was busy bowing deeply.

"Pah, what are you people? Even if I don't become a priest, you're not qualified."

"Today, I announce that this brother will be the priest."

The Wine Immortal pushed Liu Chengfeng forward and announced it to the crowd.

All eyes were on Liu Chengfeng; no one knew him.

Amidst the uproar, the sudden appearance of a stranger as a priest was unacceptable to the Aoki Divine Kingdom.

This candidate is even worse than Seiko Aoki!

"Second-tier Godhood? You dare to compete for a divine official position?"

Aoki Seiko's face darkened, and he sneered.

"Killing you would be more than enough."

Liu Chengfeng gave him a cold look, looking down at him with disdain.

"Okay, let's try it."

Aoki Seiko's murderous intent rose, and he wanted to kill Liu Chengfeng.

He was at the third level of the Godhood Realm, and had already killed a second-level being. He was full of confidence!
"The affairs of the priests are of utmost importance and cannot be treated lightly—"

Some gods will be dissatisfied.

The crowd was also dissatisfied; they could not accept having a stranger as a priest!

"Hmph, since you want to change the priest, do you think I, as the priest, have no weight? You can nominate someone, and so can I!"

These words left everyone speechless; he certainly had the right to say them.

“Uncle Rong, you can indeed recommend candidates for priest, and we are willing to accept them.”

When Wanwan spoke, she commanded the room.

"Even if you're at the second level of the Divine Conferment, you're qualified to be selected, but, Uncle Rong, our Qingmu Divine Kingdom is unparalleled in alchemy."

"Junior Sister's priest must also be an alchemist, at least a fourth-grade alchemist."

Wanwan reasoned with people and won them over with virtue.

Everyone nodded in agreement: the Azure Wood Divine Kingdom was unparalleled in alchemy.

Zixia Danshen is the number one alchemist in the world, and no one can match her forty-eight miles of blood sea.

Her priest must be an exceptional alchemist to be of assistance to her in the future.

Seiko Aoki puffed out his chest; in terms of qualifications, no one was more suitable than him.

He sneered, looking down at Liu Chengfeng.

Among the younger generation, he is a genius in alchemy; who can compare to him?

"Alchemy? You dare to talk about alchemy? Young brother, suppress them."

The moment the topic of alchemy was mentioned, the Wine Immortal's eyebrows danced with excitement, and he became arrogant, prompting Liu Chengfeng to make his appearance.

"What rank do you hold? How dare you talk about suppressing us?"

Aoki Seiko scoffed, "The world's strongest alchemists are all here; outsiders have no right to stand here."

"A bunch of frogs in a well dare to talk about alchemy in front of me?"

Liu Chengfeng smiled, looked around at everyone, and glanced down at them.

Everyone's expression changed drastically. What does the Azure Wood Divine Kingdom have the most of? Alchemists. They're everywhere.

The alchemists gathered here today are the most outstanding alchemists in the Qingmeng Realm, enough to make them stand out from the crowd.

How dare a young upstart look down on them like that!
"Well said, so very well said—"

The wine connoisseur laughed and clapped his hands. The more he looked at Liu Chengfeng, the more satisfied he became. He was a good match for his daughter!
"What an arrogant tone—" Everyone was furious.

"Speaking such nonsense, what rank do you think you are? Come and have a go!"

Aoki Seiko shouted, "When it comes to alchemy, I can crush anyone among the younger generation!"

"You? You're not worthy."

Liu Chengfeng glanced at him coldly.

"I don't believe you're top-notch! Show me what you've got."

Seiko Aoki was furious.

"Young master, are you capable of reaching the highest level of the fourth refinement stage?"

Wanwan had doubts and stared at Liu Chengfeng.

Everyone scoffed, thinking it impossible, since their main god was the number one alchemist in the world when he refined the highest grade four times.

"Fourth level of refinement? Is that all you weaklings see?"

Liu Chengfeng sneered.

"That's right, let them see what's what!"

The wine connoisseur laughed heartily, full of confidence in Liu Chengfeng.

The son-in-law he chose is absolutely unparalleled; in the entire Qingmeng Realm, who can compare?
"So, how many levels of training are you doing?"

Wanwan's alluring eyes shone brightly, finding it impossible.

"Five Refinements".

Liu Chengfeng looked down at the crowd.

"impossible--"

Seiko Aoki was the first to disbelieve it, and jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on.

"Impossible! There are no Five Refinements in the Azure Mist Realm!"

Everyone's expression changed drastically, and someone shouted.

A fifth-level alchemist is a legendary alchemist; it's been a long time since a fifth-level alchemist has appeared in the Qingmeng Realm.

"You are just frogs in a well; you haven't seen it, so you assume it doesn't exist."

Liu Chengfeng, dressed in special attire, looked down upon all the heroes and gazed arrogantly at the heavens.

"Words are meaningless; who would believe them?"

Seiko Aoki didn't believe it and shouted.

"Young master, are you truly at the fifth level of refinement? It's rare to find someone at the fifth level of refinement in this world!"

Wanwan was second only to Zixia Danshen in alchemy. After marrying into the Xingyan Divine Dynasty, she was very knowledgeable and did not believe in the existence of five levels of alchemy.

"What do you mean by 'unparalleled in the world'? Five refinements? That's not my limit, it's the limit of the Qingmeng Realm's spiritual furnace."

Liu Chengfeng smiled broadly, looking down upon the vast wilderness with an air of boundless ambition.

"Is it really the fifth level of refinement?"

Even Wanwan wavered.

The crowd still didn't believe it; how could someone with the Fifth Refinement suddenly appear?

"If you're so capable, show me what you've got, instead of playing tricks here!"

Aoki Seiko coldly retorted, "He doesn't believe there are five refinements in the mortal world."

The greatest alchemist in the world is none other than their main god, the Purple Cloud Alchemist!

"Suppress them properly."

The wine connoisseur drank heartily, taking pride in it, saying that either his daughter or his son-in-law was the best in the world!

Have you seen this before?

Helpless, Liu Chengfeng took out something.

"Five Refinement Spirit Stove—"

Wanwan gasped in surprise, her almond-shaped eyes widening and her face turning pale.

"A Five-Refining Spirit Stove, it really is a Five-Refining Spirit Stove!"

Everyone opened their eyes wide and saw clearly the Five Refinement Spirit Stove in Liu Chengfeng's hand.

Some people didn't believe it and rubbed their eyes. It really was a Five-Refining Spirit Stove!

Long Ge also stood up abruptly, deeply shocked.

His number one alchemist was Zixia Danshen, but now a fifth-level alchemist has appeared!
"This, how is this possible-"

Seiko Aoki couldn't believe it, and was even unwilling to admit it.

Wanwan's chest heaved, her body surging like waves. The Five Refinements—there really are Five Refinements in the human world!

She is one of the top alchemists and knows what the Fifth Refinement means.

The crowd exchanged bewildered glances. The Azure Wood Divine Kingdom was renowned for its alchemy, and the more powerful the alchemist, the greater their authority!

"This is merely a fifth-level spirit furnace; it does not mean you are a fifth-level alchemist."

Undeterred, Seiko Aoki roared.

"Young master, would you be so kind as to demonstrate your skills?"

At this moment, Wanwan became polite, no longer displaying the domineering attitude she had shown earlier.

"It seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

Liu Chengfeng sneered, circulating his blood and qi, and activating his spiritual fire.

Golden flames flashed, and the Five Refining Spirit Stove ignited.

"Golden Spirit Fire!"

Everyone was speechless. That's right, the fifth level of alchemy. Only a fifth-level alchemist can activate and control the fifth-level alchemy furnace.

"It really is golden spirit fire—"

None of the alchemists present had ever seen the Golden Spirit Fire before. Upon seeing it today, they were all amazed by its beauty and charm.

"Five Refinements—"

Qingmu Huang was distraught. He was also an alchemist and knew what the Fifth Refinement meant!
"Impossible, how could this be—"

Aoki Saint shook his head; it was the first time he had seen the golden spirit fire, and he was unwilling to believe it.

"Five Refinements of Spiritual Fire—"

Wanwan was breathtaking, her movements undulating like waves, a vast expanse of white.

"Are you qualified to be a priest?"

The wine connoisseur sneered, puffed out his chest, and surveyed the crowd.

Everyone fell silent. Five Refinements, the best in the world—if that's not enough, where else can you find it?

"This matter is open to discussion."

Wanwan took a deep breath, her radiance captivating.

"Kid, you're out—"

The Wine Immortal pointed at Seiko Aoki and sneered.

That was his goal: to defeat Seiko Aoki and break the competition for the priesthood.

Aoki Saint's face turned pale. What was supposed to be a sure thing had suddenly turned into a complete disaster because of a Fifth Refinement cultivator.

"Please stay here, young master, and we can discuss this further."

Wanwan is charming and beautiful, with eyes brimming with affection.

No one objected; with the Five Refinements complete, who could possibly rival them?

Whether Liu Chengfeng can become a priest is still up for debate, but Aoki Seiko is out of the running.

Having achieved her goal, Wanwan did not forcefully support Qingmu Shengzi to become a priest.

The discussion on the clock tower has now come to an end.

"I'll get you some evergreen grass when my daughter comes out."

The Wine Immortal took Liu Chengfeng to stay in his palace, waiting for the Purple Cloud Elixir Goddess to emerge from seclusion.

After Liu Chengfeng settled in, he not only needed the Evergreen Grass, but also needed to cooperate with the Purple Cloud Pill God.

Join forces with the Green Wood Divine Kingdom and the Heavenly Martial Divine Kingdom to attack the Heavenly Xuan Divine Kingdom, capture the Heavenly Xuan God, and reclaim the Heavenly Broken Grass leaves!
