At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

Ye Chunqiu then said coldly.

"The demon beast horde launched a frenzied attack, but they also suffered heavy losses."

Even if they know how to set up battle formations, we can still find weaknesses.

As long as we find a weakness, we will definitely be able to turn the tables.

Furthermore, we must reinforce our defensive array; we absolutely cannot allow these ferocious beasts to breach the Earth Lung Mountain fortress now.

Mu Yezhe watched as everyone analyzed the situation. As the sect leader of Tianyu Sect, his status and position were undeniable, so everyone naturally listened to him.

"Alright, let's start assigning tasks."

Fellow Daoists of the Xuan Yang Sect, please reinforce the various defensive lines.

Elder Ling Xuan, you are skilled in setting up formations. Lead your disciples to the formation hub and repair the damaged formation as soon as possible.

Most importantly, the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation in the east was severely damaged. That was the area Elder Ye Chunqiu was originally in charge of, and everything was under his command.

"Elder Yi Xueying, you are a sword cultivator, skilled in battlefield combat, and extremely powerful. You can join the first squad as an assault team and go to the east to be under the command of Elder Ye Chunqiu."

"If any ferocious beasts charge into the fortress, you are responsible for killing them."

Mu Yeze looked at Ling Xiu.

"Elder Li, Sect Master Nangong Xun has sent a message saying that you are a mid-stage alchemist."

The alchemy workshop in the east is your responsibility; ensure a stable supply of pills. Refine plenty of healing pills, and ideally, also refine some that can quickly restore mana.

The alchemical materials there are plentiful, enough for you to refine pills for a long time.

"clear!"

Ling Xiu and the other two obeyed Ye Chunqiu's orders, which caused a great deal of turmoil in Ye Chunqiu's heart, but he remained calm.

The remaining elders were reassigned to other positions.

Ling Xiu glanced at Ye Chunqiu, but the guy didn't sense his presence at all.

It's probably because I changed my appearance and entered the Profound Realm, which made my aura more restrained and powerful, that the other party hasn't recognized me yet.

But when this guy was chasing him back then, hatred began to grow in his heart, and his killing intent surged endlessly.

If he gets the chance, Ling Xiu will definitely kill him.

But not yet, we need to focus on the important matters.

After the tasks were assigned, everyone quickly went their separate ways.

Ling Xiu, Ling Xuan, and Yi Xueying also followed Ye Chunqiu to the east.

Ling Xiu was then led to the simple alchemy room in the east.

This alchemy room was not only dilapidated, but also a completely open cavern, where dozens of alchemists were busy at work. The air was filled with the mixed smell of medicinal pills, and one corner of the cave was piled high with various alchemy materials, while in another large cavern connected to it, many injured people were receiving treatment.

The smell of blood mingled with the scent of medicinal herbs, and it was somewhat pungent.

When Ling Xiu entered, the first thing he saw were two familiar figures. They were sorting through the medicinal herbs, and they were none other than Su Nuonuo and Yun Ziling, whom he knew very well.

Immediately, he looked surprised and was deeply shaken.

Yun Ziling was pure and elegant, with an icy expression. She was carefully sorting and organizing the medicinal herbs, looking somewhat tired. Her long hair was tied up and looked a little messy.

But the sight of her crouching, delicate figure was undeniably captivating to the wounded and the alchemists who were currently refining pills.

Many eyes kept glancing at her, and at this moment, Yun Ziling's cultivation had already reached the Great Perfection of the Condensation Realm.

Nuonuo's pretty face was a little dirty and messy, completely losing its childishness. Her technique was skillful, and she looked much more mature.

Her cultivation level has also reached the late stage of the Condensation Realm; the little girl's growth rate is not slow.

She was squatting not far from Yun Ziling, looking very serious, selecting various medicinal herbs for her and helping her organize them.

It was unclear how long they had been there. The fighting at the front was intense, and the two worked together seamlessly, barely having time to exchange a word.

When they looked up, they met Ling Xiu's gaze directly, but a strange look quickly flashed across their faces before they turned back to their work, probably because they didn't recognize him.

Perhaps they were too exhausted, and the tension of the battle prevented them from observing Ling Xiu closely.

Ling Xiu shook his head and smiled wryly. He quickly arrived at a pill-refining furnace and joined in the pill-refining work.

Looking at everything inside the alchemy room, the efficiency was simply too low.

Regardless of their skill level, these alchemists were arranged in a chaotic manner, and their pills had a low success rate, resulting in countless wasted materials.

The pills made from the main ingredient are all of spirit-grade quality, which have no effect on cultivators in the Profound Realm.

Upon his arrival, Ye Chunqiu immediately announced to the public that he would take over all command of the alchemy room.

Ling Xiu quickly rearranged the alchemists, placing those with exceptional alchemy skills at the front, fully demonstrating his coordination and organizational abilities.

"First, alchemists need to be grouped, and the process also needs to be optimized."

The first group consists of refining elixirs, mystic pills, nourishing essence pills, golden crow pills, blood stasis dispelling pills, and red scale pills…

"The fellow Daoist in charge of organizing the medicinal herbs has assigned three people to specifically relay information."

After being divided into several groups, everyone in the alchemy room had a clear division of labor, greatly increasing the efficiency of operation, and even the number of pills produced also increased significantly.

Ling Xiu was not idle either, specializing in refining even higher-grade Xuan-rank healing pills.

He focused his hands and activated the True Essence Earth Fire of the Profound Realm. With precise control of the fire, those precious Profound-Rank Spirit Pills were refined batch after batch, their fragrance filling the air, each pill plump and round.

His efficiency far surpasses that of four or five alchemists combined.

"Elder Li, your alchemy skills are truly remarkable. May I ask who your teacher is?"

Another Spirit-Rank Alchemist asked from the side.

Ling Xiu shook his head and did not answer.

His extraordinary skills always drew sidelong glances from other alchemists and cultivators who were organizing medicinal herbs, who were filled with envy.

At the same time, he also successfully attracted the attention of Yun Ziling and Nuonuo.

His eyes would occasionally glance in Ling Xiu's direction, his admiring gaze tinged with utter surprise.

"Senior Sister Ziling, I heard that the alchemist is from the Xuan Yang Sect in Zhongzhou, and is an elder of the sect."

That was truly remarkable! So efficient, so impressive! The posture and movements were executed flawlessly, so cool!

"Alright, focus on your work!"

Yun Ziling said in a deep voice, but her eyes couldn't help but linger on the subject a few more times.

It has to be said that the alchemist from the Xuan Yang Sect was indeed quite handsome, especially when he was refining pills; his serious and meticulous manner captivated her.

"Roar! Charge! Charge!"

On the other side of the fortress in the Earth Lung Mountains, the ferocious beasts launched a new attack, their roars shaking the heavens and earth.

Meanwhile, Yi Xueying had already rushed up the eastern city wall.

Looking at the dark mass of beasts, and the ferocious beasts flying overhead.

Among the ferocious beasts, several powerful demons exuded a terrifying aura, clearly comparable to great demons at the late stage of the Profound Realm.

"Quickly form a killing formation and defend!"

Standing atop the city wall, Ye Chunqiu roared, his icy voice echoing throughout the entire eastern region.

The cultivators channeled their magical power, making the defensive formations on the city wall even stronger and the condensed aura even thicker, constantly withstanding the impact and emitting deafening sounds.

Countless ferocious demons went on a rampage, unleashing their demonic energy to bombard the halo.

The array's aura trembled under such intense bombardment, as if it were about to crack at any moment.

"kill!"

As Ye Chunqiu roared, many cultivators, led by Yi Xueying, unleashed their flying swords, blades, and magical weapons, bursting out from within the halo and slaughtering the beast horde.

In an instant, a large number of ferocious beasts perished, their blood staining the ground.

However, there were too many ferocious beasts, surging up wave after wave.

Among them were many large, ferocious beasts with amazing defensive capabilities, which crashed into the array, causing the light halo to tremble violently.

"Quickly, go and stabilize the core of the formation!"

Some of the cultivators reacted quickly, and some even showed expressions of horror on their faces.
