33: Stealing elixirs from the Ten Thousand Demons Mountain!

Lin Tian saw your Alchemy talent was so high that he no longer stopped you from going to the Dan Sect.

"Go ahead, Little Junior Brother, the Pavilion Master has already passed all your information to all the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters."

The next day, after bidding farewell to Lin Tian, you headed directly towards the Dan Sect.

Five days later, you arrived near the Dan Tower and discovered that the Dan Sect's entrance examination was in ten days.

You were not anxious about this; the Dan Sect's Dan Tower was located in the very center of Dan City.

Dan City, on the other hand, was within the Dan Sect's sphere of influence, a city established to facilitate their sale of Medicinal Pills.

You waited for ten days in Dan City, and during these ten days, you noticed many Cultivators continuously arriving to participate in the Dan Sect's examination.

On the tenth day, you followed the large group to the plaza beneath the Dan Tower.

Soon, a peerless beauty in a black cheongsam walked out of the Dan Tower, and your body trembled slightly when you saw her face.

That face was all too familiar to you; it was the face Gu Xinyue often faked.

You didn't expect that the chief examiner for this year's assessment would be Gu Xinyue.

Gu Xinyue, standing on the second floor of the Dan Tower, scanned the crowd in the plaza, and suddenly her gaze stopped on you.

However, it only lingered for a moment before she moved her gaze away.

You had just made eye contact with Gu Xinyue for that instant, and you knew she recognized your identity, because you had no position or identity when you arrived.

After Gu Xinyue roughly explained the assessment content and rules on the stage, you prepared to begin the assessment.

The assessment content was also very simple: refine a furnace of High Grade Foundation Establishment Pill within the specified time.

After seeing this assessment content, you inwardly sighed, feeling that the Dan Sect's assessment was truly not easy.

Even you, relying on your talent as an Alchemy prodigy, could only refine High Grade Foundation Establishment Pills; ordinary Alchemists with slightly better talent could only refine Medium Grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

After the assessment began, you did not choose to hide your strength, but instead refined a furnace of perfect Foundation Establishment Pills at the fastest speed on the entire field.

You were led into the Dan Tower by Gu Xinyue under the shocked gazes of everyone present.

After entering the Dan Tower, you were led solely by Gu Xinyue throughout, with no one else intervening.

Upon arriving at the Dan Sect's registration hall, Gu Xinyue transmitted a question to you.

"Little Junior Brother, why did you come to the Dan Sect?"

"Didn't I hear that you were here, Senior Sister? I wanted to witness your magnificent presence!"

Upon hearing you say this, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but reveal a smile at the corner of her mouth.

"Stop with the glib talk, I don't believe you came for me!"

In response, you stated that the main reason for coming to the Dan Sect was to improve your Alchemy Realm more quickly.

Upon hearing this explanation, Gu Xinyue then realized that your Alchemy speed just now was incredibly fast, even comparable to her speed as a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

"Little Junior Brother, tell me honestly, what grade Alchemist are you now?"

"Senior Sister, I am currently a Third Grade Alchemist, but I will reach Fourth Grade very soon."

Upon hearing that you were already a Third Grade Alchemist, Gu Xinyue felt a bit disheartened, especially when you said in your last sentence that you were about to Breakthrough to Fourth Grade; she found it even harder to accept.

Under Gu Xinyue's arrangement, you successfully joined the Dan Sect and were assigned to be her Disciple.

And when the others in the Dan Sect saw you become Gu Xinyue's Disciple, expressions of envy appeared on their faces.

Within the Dan Sect, Gu Xinyue was famously a cold goddess who never took Disciples, and now seeing that she had taken you, everyone had thoughts of killing you.

You didn't care about this; from then on, you began to Cultivate by Gu Xinyue's side.

In the third year, you successfully Broke Through to a Fourth Grade Alchemist.

At this time, Gu Xinyue found you and told you that she had received news: the key Materials for the Po Xu Pill had been discovered in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

And she hoped you would go with her, and then, in front of everyone, steal the Spirit Medicine and escape using your Great Void Art.

Upon hearing this, your heart was filled with confusion; you remembered that the last time you searched for the Po Xu Pill Spirit Medicine, its maturation time was in the ninth year.

But only three years had passed, and Gu Xinyue had already found the Spirit Medicine?

Combining this with the previous simulation, you realized that Gu Xinyue was not in the Dan Sect at that time, and you guessed one possibility.

Gu Xinyue failed in stealing the Spirit Medicine this time and defected from the Dan Sect.

You did not refuse Gu Xinyue's invitation and readily agreed to this operation.

Currently, you had already learned what you needed to learn in the Dan Sect; even if you were no longer in the Dan Sect afterward, you could still Breakthrough using your talent as an Alchemy prodigy.

Gu Xinyue told you that the Dan Sect's team would depart in a week, and she would come to pick you up then.

After she left, you used the Great Void Art to start stealing Medicinal Pills everywhere within the Dan Sect.

A week later, you had almost stolen from every place you knew where Medicinal Pills were stored.

You knew that after leaving this time, you might never return to the Dan Sect.

Early on the seventh day, Gu Xinyue came to find you and told you it was time to depart.

You asked her who else from the Dan Sect would be going besides you two.

"This time, besides me, there's also the Dan Sect Master and three Elders."

"Even the Dan Sect Master is going?"

You didn't expect that merely to retrieve a Spirit Medicine, the Dan Sect would make such a big fuss.

Gu Xinyue glanced at you and sighed.

"Because this time, not only will people from the Dan Sect go, but also people from the Feather Transformation Sect and the Yin Yang Sect!"

Gu Xinyue saw the confusion in your eyes and continued to explain to you via transmission.

"The Po Xu Pill is key to Breaking Through to Void Refining, and that Spirit Medicine is crucial for refining the Po Xu Pill; all Sects will fight fiercely for it."

"Senior Sister, with so many Soul Transformation Perfection cultivators present, how can we safely retreat?"

Upon hearing these words, you could already imagine in your mind how intense the struggle would be then.

"It's alright, Little Junior Brother! Once I get the Spirit Medicine, I'll give it directly to you; you take the Spirit Medicine back to the Sword Pavilion and wait for me!"

Hearing Gu Xinyue tell you to return to the Sword Pavilion first, you no longer asked any more questions; none who could join the Sword Pavilion were simple.

Seven days later, you followed the Dan Sect's large group to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

At this time, outside Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, people from the major Sects had already arrived.

You listened as the Sect Masters of the Three Great Sects discussed how to distribute this Spirit Medicine.

At this moment, Gu Xinyue transmitted a message to you.

"Little Junior Brother, I just heard the Sect Master say that there might be a martial arts competition to determine the distribution rights of the Spirit Medicine. When the competition happens, use your Great Void Art to enter Ten Thousand Demon Mountain and steal the Spirit Medicine."

"Are you sure?"

You saw Gu Xinyue's determined gaze and decided to do as she said.

Not long after, you indeed saw the Dan Sect Master begin to arrange the participants for the martial arts competition.

Seeing this, you quietly left the scene, found an uninhabited place, and used the Great Void Art to infiltrate Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.
