The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

"What went wrong? Or is she busy?"

After all, Jiang Lingyue is now a highly skilled alchemy master, and Lu Ye naturally remembered this.

The time required for alchemy is not short; high-level pills can take several days or even half a month.

If something had happened, given that girl's important position in Wuxiang Mountain, the news should have spread by now.

The North could never be as peaceful as it is now.

After returning to the Northern Territory, Lu Ye unexpectedly encountered some cultivators who did not seem to be native to the region during his journey.

These people actually set up ambushes and robberies in certain locations...

This phenomenon was something Lu Ye had not anticipated.

Moreover, these people's targets are not ordinary people; they seem to only target cultivators at or above the mortal realm.

Their own strength had reached the mid-to-late stage of the Earth Realm.

"Could it be that they plan to capture those cultivators who came out of the Misty Heaven Palace in the Northern Territory and haven't left yet, so they can rob them of their gains and reap the benefits?"

Upon realizing this, Lu Ye's mind suddenly cleared, and he understood the motives of these people.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye actually hoped they would rob him, but Chen Beixuan's appearance and the cultivators of the Misty Heaven Palace were recognized by more than half of them later on.

Whenever someone tried to jump out and block their way, they were immediately terrified upon seeing Lu Ye, and their legs went weak on the spot.

I almost delivered myself right into the hands of that terrifying killing god!

They quickly hid, letting the killer leave their fishing and hunting grounds, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief, having escaped death.

"Alright, let's hurry up and leave. It's been a while now, and there probably aren't many cultivators left in the Northern Territory."

A moment later, many of those who had prepared to fish left with a sense of lingering fear.

This was something Lu Ye hadn't expected.

An hour later, the two arrived at the small town at the foot of Wuxiang Mountain, only to hear a heated discussion taking place in the town.

Within the Wuxiang Sect... a fifth-tier alchemy master has appeared!!

"I never expected that the Wuxiang Sect would hit the jackpot this time, actually managing to take in a disciple with such terrifying talent. I heard her name is Jiang Lingyue, a fifth-level alchemist who is not even thirty years old!"

"If nothing unexpected happens, the Wuxiang Sect is bound to rise to prominence in the future. It might even be able to take this opportunity to grow into the number one sect in the Northern Territory."

Some people are already very optimistic about the future of the Wuxiang Sect.

Indeed, a fifth-order alchemy master is far more powerful in the Northern Territory than a late-stage mortal realm alchemist.

Meanwhile, news was spreading rapidly from the town to the outside world.

The Wuxiang Sect did not conceal this news. After confirming the true emergence of the Mortal Realm Pill a short while before the incense stick burned, the Wuxiang Sect announced the news to the outside world.

However, the outside world is unaware that the newly emerged fifth-tier alchemy master of the Wuxiang Sect possesses the terrifying ability to refine mortal-level Grandmaster pills; they only know that he can refine fifth-tier pills.

For the Northern Territory, a Grandmaster Pill in the Mortal Realm is still a bit too powerful.

In fact, the Wuxiang Sect did consider concealing the truth at first, but many disciples in the Pill Hall discovered the anomaly later on.

Within the Wuxiang Sect, there are also spies from other forces.

The news could not be kept secret in the end.

Therefore, after a brief period of consideration, the Wuxiang Sect still chose to proactively disclose this information.

After listening to the story in the town, a faint smile appeared on Lu Ye's face. "Although this girl's talent for cultivation is average, she has put all her skill points into alchemy, which is not bad."

However, Lu Ye quickly realized one of the points...

A fifth-tier alchemy master is simply too tempting for the entire Northern Territory.

Could it be that someone, or some other force, might choose to attack the Wuxiang Sect, find an opportunity to take Jiang Lingyue away, control her, and make her help with alchemy?

After all, Jiang Lingyue is only at the fifth level right now.

He did not form a network of connections unique to himself as a master alchemist.

The best time to kidnap and control them is now!

Thinking of this, Lu Ye's eyes turned slightly cold. Fortunately, he was also here today and happened to be at Wuxiang Mountain.

Otherwise, if someone is prepared to make a move, given that the Wuxiang Sect only has two martial arts grandmasters, they might actually succeed.

After all, in Lu Ye's memory, the two martial arts masters from Wuxiang Mountain were only at the early stage of the Grandmaster level.

It is more powerful than ordinary grandmaster families, but not as powerful as the Crimson Cloud Sect or the Myriad Laws Sect.

"Perfect, let's see if anyone will take this opportunity to make a move..."

With a flash of inspiration, Lu Ye had an idea. In a small alley in the town, he used a disguise mask to change his appearance into that of Lu Yan from Qingzhou.

This change of appearance caused quite a stir in Qingzhou and Yuanzhou, but in Xuanzhou, not many people knew him yet, making it easier to carry out his plans.

Qingyu was somewhat surprised to see Lu Ye suddenly change his appearance.

However, after Lu Ye said something, Qingyu suddenly realized that they had encountered someone fishing on the way...

The son-in-law wants to try fishing this time too!

Let's see who dares to make a move at this time.

Qingyu immediately showed a hint of interest. Sure enough, following the son-in-law would definitely keep her from being bored.

Qingyu didn't need to change her appearance, as not many people in the Northern Territory knew her anyway.

So, instead of rushing to the Wuxiang Sect, the two of them booked two guest rooms in the small town at the foot of the mountain.

The distance from here to the Wuxiang Sect's mountain gate is such that Lu Ye can instantly extend his spiritual sense to observe every move there if he so desires.

Sure enough, less than half an hour after the news of the Wuxiang Sect broke, this small town at the foot of the mountain, which originally didn't have a large flow of people, suddenly became a hotbed of activity.

Previously, Lu Ye had roughly scanned the distribution of cultivators in the entire town and found that there were only two or three people at the Innate Realm, one of whom was at the late Innate Realm.

As for the martial arts grandmaster, there was none to be seen.

Half an hour later, under Lu Ye's deliberate observation, more than five Xiantian masters had arrived.

Even a martial arts master, whom it is rare to see in the North, has arrived.

Moreover, he wasn't even at the early stage of martial arts master; he was actually at the fifth level of master!

If Lu Ye weren't around, this level of strength would be enough to suppress both Grandmasters of the Wuxiang Sect without them being able to fight back.

"As expected, martial arts masters have been attracted here..."

Observing all this in secret, Lu Ye nodded slightly.

Although he might not need the Grandmaster Pill for the mortal realm for the time being, a fifth-tier alchemist can definitely refine all kinds of fourth-tier pills! (End of Chapter)
