I, the Chaotic Being, began my path to enlightenment in a brothel!

If this matter were to spread, it would surely leave all the alchemists in the world speechless.

Most of the pills circulating in the market are of white-veined quality, while red-veined pills are extremely rare.

As for the perfectly effective Golden Pattern Pill, only top-tier alchemy masters have a chance of successfully refining it.

Lin Feng is so young yet he has already mastered such alchemy skills; his future is limitless.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Lin Feng had endured countless failures and honed his skills over the past six months, finally reaching his current level of proficiency.

Hu tide stared wide-eyed at the gleaming golden-patterned pill in his palm, her mouth watering.

The rich and mellow aroma of medicinal pills wafted into my nostrils, extremely enticing.

"Come over if you want to eat," Lin Feng said with a smile.

"Thank you, Master!"

Hu tide was overjoyed and quickly walked to Lin Feng.

Although she had transformed into human form, she still retained some of the habits of a spirit beast and did not reach out to take the pill.

She leaned down slightly and extended a tip of her pink and soft tongue.

With a light flick of his tongue, he deftly swallowed a Golden Tempering Pill into his mouth.

After swallowing the pill, she slightly stuck out her tongue and gently licked the corner of her lips, her eyes filled with lingering pleasure.

"Master, this pill tastes so good!"

Seeing this, Lin Feng asked with a smile, "Want one more?"

Hu tide suddenly opened her eyes wide, filled with astonishment.

After a moment, Hu tide asked cautiously, "Master, can I eat some more?"

"Eat as much as you want! There's plenty of elixirs and pills!"

In the blink of an eye, Hu tide swallowed seven or eight Golden Pattern Body Tempering Pills.

Her eyes lit up with surprise, and she said in a clear voice, "Master, I can clearly feel that my physique has become much stronger!"

"I will refine second-grade pills next, and once they are completed, I will give them all to you to consume," Lin Feng said earnestly.

As a member of the Blood Fox clan, the more advanced Hu Xi's cultivation, the wider the range of ancient god blood essence she can sense.

In addition, the unique cultivation environment within the small tower will allow this innocent and naive little fox girl to fully transform and grow up in no time.

They are pleasing to the eye and can fight side by side, killing two birds with one stone.

Upon hearing this, Hu tide felt a surge of warmth in her heart and was so moved that she almost shed tears.

No one has ever treated her like this since she was born...

Meanwhile, news of Qin Tao's disappearance had spread far and wide.

Shi Bing, Situ Kuang, and their disciples were all alarmed and made a special request to Elder Qi to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Elder Qi's expression was solemn as he personally led a team to search outside.

Three days later, the sect announced the results: Qin Tao had died in a hidden cave in the Three Thousand Mountains.

According to the investigation, he inadvertently disturbed a spirit beast at the Martial Core realm, and its remains were never found.

No one doubted the outcome, and after a few sighs and reflections, no one mentioned the matter again.

The path ahead in the cultivation world is unpredictable; life and death hang in the balance.

Every cultivator who has embarked on the path of cultivation has long since become indifferent to fortune, misfortune, life, and death.

Even in the area where the true disciples reside, undercurrents are surging and turmoil is constant.

Just as Luo Cheng had previously told Lin Feng, Yaoxing Pavilion has excellent feng shui and is a rare cultivation treasure land in the world.

Now that this blessed land has been occupied by a newly recruited disciple, the veteran disciples are filled with resentment.

Even though Lin Feng had previously defeated Luo Cheng head-on, many veteran disciples with even higher cultivation levels still coveted the position and were eager to make a move.

At first, people only dared to discuss it in private.

However, as news of the sect's annual exchange meeting spread, everyone could no longer hold back and gathered around the Yaoxing Pavilion to observe.

"The annual sect exchange meeting is finally about to begin!"

"This is a grand event hosted by the Xuanhuang Academy! If you can make a name for yourself at this event, you will become famous throughout Xuanhuang Prefecture, and there will be generous rewards!"

"Unfortunately, there are only ten spots available for the exchange meeting, making the competition extremely fierce."

"If I could join the Shining Star Pavilion for cultivation, my cultivation would definitely advance by leaps and bounds, securing my place in the top ten!"

"Lin Feng is just a newcomer. Even if he works hard, he has no right to compete for the top ten. Why should he occupy the Radiant Star Pavilion? In my opinion, he should give it up voluntarily!"

Similar criticisms and dissatisfactions have been rising and falling around Yaoxing Pavilion.

In the Dragon Martial Continent, each state and region has its own top-tier academy.

The Divine Wilderness Academy of the Divine Wilderness Martial Domain is personally managed by the Domain Lord. It is an orthodox official academy with a transcendent status, comparable to the world's top powers.

The Martial Domain has a top-tier academy in each of the three states of Lingwu, Xuanhuang, and Jingge, which belong to Lingwu Academy, Xuanhuang Academy, and Jingge Academy, respectively.

All three academies are under the jurisdiction of the Divine Wilderness Academy. Although they have not reached the top level, they are superior to all the top sects and are the holy land of cultivation that countless cultivators dream of.

The academy's entrance examination is extremely rigorous, selecting only one in ten thousand candidates; ordinary cultivators have no chance of ever entering.

Such a precious opportunity for cultivation is naturally regarded as of utmost importance by countless disciples.

Many disciples threatened to meet with the elders and expel Lin Feng from the Shining Star Pavilion.

The Shining Star Pavilion was awarded to Lin Feng for his meritorious service and was personally bestowed by the sect leader. None of the elders had the right to interfere or change it.

Just as everyone was discussing the matter, a man and a woman slowly approached from a distance.

The man had a handsome face and a tall, upright posture, and his cultivation had reached the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Sea Realm.

The woman was dressed in a long robe with flowing clouds, her figure slender and her curves exquisite.

She was surrounded by a faint, cool aura, like a fairy banished from the moon palace, aloof and ethereal.

Her appearance was unparalleled, her skin was as white as snow, and her cultivation was unfathomable. She had already broken through the Spirit Sea Realm and entered the Martial Core Realm.

As the two approached the vicinity of Yaoxing Pavilion, the expressions of the surrounding disciples changed slightly, and they all took the initiative to give way, their discussions suddenly falling silent.

"I heard that Senior Sister Shangguan has been searching for spiritual herbs recently, and I happen to have a Nine-Headed Blood Ginseng."

"This was found by an elder in my family on a cliff. Its medicinal properties are rich and potent, so it's a perfect gift for my senior sister."

Hu Xu smiled gently, raised his hand and took out an exquisite wooden box, which he slowly opened.

Inside the box lay a deep red ginseng root, its potent medicinal properties emanating from it.

"Junior Brother Hu, you're so thoughtful!"

Shangguan Yue hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the wooden box.

"I do urgently need healing medicine these days, so I won't refuse my junior brother."

"As long as I can win Senior Sister's favor, a mere fifth-grade spiritual herb is nothing to worry about."

Hu Xu smiled freely, a burning expectation hidden in his eyes, and asked softly, "Recently, I've observed many alchemists entering and leaving the Shangguan residence. I wonder if your father's injuries have improved?"

Hu Xu had long been in love with Shangguan Yue.

Shangguan Yue possesses the Cold Moon Body, with skin as white as ice and bones as white as jade, and her talent surpasses all her peers.

The Shangguan family behind him has a profound foundation and is one of the top families in Xuanhuang City, far superior to the Hu family.

If he could marry Shangguan Yue, both he and the Hu family would benefit greatly.

However, Shangguan Yue is aloof and keeps strangers at bay. It was only by taking advantage of the opportunity to give her medicine that he was able to get close to her today.

"With the resources of these officials, they can easily hire fifth- or sixth-rank alchemists, and even seventh-rank ones are not out of the question..."

Shangguan Yue's eyes dimmed, and a hint of worry lingered between her brows.

"But the fifth-grade elixir my father needs can only be cured by Jinwen."

"Junior Brother Hu also knows that there are very few alchemists in this world who can refine golden-patterned pills."

"Even with the Shangguan family's considerable wealth, it was ultimately difficult for them to find and earnestly request assistance."

"If this continues, my father's injuries will likely become very serious."

Upon hearing this, Hu Xu gently comforted her, "Senior Sister Shangguan, there's no need to worry. If you can shine at this exchange meeting, perhaps you can take advantage of the grand occasion to ask the alchemists of Xuanhuang Academy for their help."

"The Xuanhuang Academy is full of experts and talents; how could I possibly stand out..."

Shangguan Yue frowned, lacking confidence in herself.

The two happened to arrive at the entrance of Yaoxing Pavilion. Hu Xu raised his hand and pointed to the pavilion in front of him, speaking softly with a smile.

"There is still a month before the exchange meeting. If Senior Sister Shangguan can take over the Yaoxing Pavilion for cultivation, her cultivation level will definitely increase dramatically."

"What does Senior Sister think?"
