812: In March, the ground level peak

Three months later.

Xie Weilou walked out of the Primordial Beginning Pill Refining Pagoda. In three months, his pill dao had made immense, heaven-defying progress!

"Kid, how was it?"

The old man outside the Pill Pagoda looked at Xie Weilou, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

This kid had cultivated in the Pill Pagoda for three months; he wondered if his pill dao had reached the Profound-grade.

Xie Weilou smiled and bowed, saying, "Fortunately, I've been promoted."

"Promoted to Profound-grade in three months? Your pill dao talent is truly terrifying. Looking across our Danhe Realm, you are absolutely the youngest Profound-grade alchemist in history."

The old man's face was filled with emotion. The waves behind push the waves ahead; this world belongs to the young!

"..."

Xie Weilou chuckled, bowed again to the old man, and then quickly departed.

Not long after.

He met Feng Qianchi.

Feng Qianchi looked at Xie Weilou and asked with a smile, "Kid, in three months, have you been promoted to Profound-grade?"

Xie Weilou took out several jade bottles from his storage ring: "These are the pills I refined. Senior, please check their quality."

Feng Qianchi took the jade bottles. He opened a stopper and examined the pills inside.

"This is... a Peak Dao Inquiring Pill? And it even has four pill markings..."

After seeing the pills inside, Feng Qianchi's body trembled, and a look of horror appeared in his eyes. The bottle in his hand almost dropped to the ground.

What is a Dao Inquiring Pill?

This is a pill used by those in the Dao Inquiring Realm. Its effects are heaven-defying, and only Earth-grade alchemists and above can refine it.

The one in this jade bottle was a Peak-grade Dao Inquiring Pill, which would require at least a Peak Earth-grade alchemist to refine.

As for the pill markings... unless a Heaven-grade alchemist made a move, it would be very difficult to refine four pill markings.

Feng Qianchi took a deep breath and quickly opened the other bottles, continuously examining them. Most were Peak Earth-grade pills, all with pill markings, which was terrifying.

After finishing, Feng Qianchi was completely numb. He looked at Xie Weilou with a complex expression: "Can a person's talent truly be so heaven-defying? Kid, could you have been possessed by a powerful alchemist?"

Three months!

Just three months!

He actually leaped directly from a Ninth-grade alchemist, past Profound-grade, to Peak Earth-grade? Is he even human?

He recalled his own most glorious moment, which was when he advanced from Ninth-grade to Profound-grade. It took him three years... Yes!

A full three years, but this was also his most boast-worthy achievement.

Because, among alchemists of the same grade in the Danhe Realm, the time they took to advance to Profound-grade was all longer than his.

Now, compared to Xie Weilou, he was practically being rubbed into the ground again and again.

He even felt too embarrassed to mention that it took him three years to advance to Profound-grade. If he were to say such a thing now, it would definitely be an incredibly shameful matter.

Xie Weilou said with a faint smile, "It's just a bit of good luck."

It was indeed a bit of good luck. If not for the images of the Primordial Beginning Pill Emperor refining pills, it would have been somewhat difficult for him to advance to Earth-grade in three months.

"Is this a matter of luck? The path of pill dao only looks at talent and strength."

Feng Qianchi's face was full of bitterness.

In the path of cultivation, luck is indeed very important.

But in the path of pill dao, the test paper and answers are laid out, and one can completely copy them. But even with copying, how many can actually do it? It completely tests talent.

Xie Weilou looked at Feng Qianchi: "How should these pills be handled?"

Feng Qianchi collected them all: "I will hand them over to the higher-ups."

"Alright! Then I'll head back first."

Xie Weilou smiled, waved his hand, and turned to leave.

Feng Qianchi looked at Xie Weilou's retreating figure and sighed, "What a monster!"

He had been obsessed with the pill dao since childhood, cultivating until now, for over five hundred years, before finally entering the ranks of Earth-grade alchemists.

And the young man before him?

In a short time, he had become a Peak Earth-grade alchemist. Such talent was terrifying.

"..."

Feng Qianchi quickly departed. He had to inform the Realm Master about this matter.

The youngest Peak Earth-grade alchemist in the history of the Danhe Realm had appeared. Such a momentous event naturally had to be reported to Yao Youxuan.

Before Gan Peak.

Yan Qingrou was waiting. In the Grave of Primordial Beginning, she had gained something, and her cultivation had risen to Divine Court Peak.

"Miss Yan."

Xie Weilou flew over.

Yan Qingrou hurriedly bowed to Xie Weilou: "Greetings, Elder Xie."

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Qingrou and said with a smile, "No need for such formality. Miss Yan, may I ask if you have something important?"

Yan Qingrou took out a letter and handed it to Xie Weilou: "Venerable Lin Zhan of the Lin family has appeared. He asked me to give this letter to you."

Xie Weilou's heart stirred. Perhaps Lin Qinghuang had made some progress. He immediately took the letter, tore it open, and read it.

The letter was written by Lin Qinghuang. The content was simple: according to the information found by the Lin family, Elder Gu was active in Central Province, seemingly a person from Central Province!

Other than that, the Lin family had not found any additional information for now.

Lin Qinghuang suggested in the letter that Xie Weilou go to Central Province to find a mysterious organization called Tianji Pavilion.

That organization claimed to know everything. As long as one could afford the remuneration, they could provide any desired information.

"Central Province, Tianji Pavilion?"

Xie Weilou thought to himself, it seemed that no matter what, he had to make a trip to Central Province.

He crushed the letter and said to Yan Qingrou, "Since you're here, why don't we have a cup of tea?"

"Alright."

Yan Qingrou nodded with a smile.

The two flew into Gan Peak.

Gan Peak.

In a pavilion.

Xie Weilou brewed a pot of fragrant tea and poured a cup for Yan Qingrou: "These past three months, I've been in seclusion refining pills. Has anything major happened?"

"Major? Indeed, there is one at the moment!"

Yan Qingrou took the fragrant tea.

"Oh?"

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Qingrou.

Yan Qingrou pondered, "The latest news indicates that elders from some major forces have gathered in Danxuan Province, seemingly planning to attack Undying City."

"Attack Undying City?"

Xie Weilou was a little surprised, but not overly so.

Before, Longevity Holy Land had attacked Guangyin Ridge, simply because an elder was dying and wanted to seek a glimmer of hope in Guangyin Ridge.

Now, the elders of various forces wanted to attack Undying City, probably because their lifespans were nearing their end, and they wanted to seek a glimmer of hope.

For those old people, with their lifespans coming to an end, rather than waiting for death, it was better to fight to the death. If they were lucky, they might indeed seize a glimmer of hope.

What kind of place is Undying City?

It is one of the Nine Great Forbidden Zones. Legends say it hides a great secret of immortality.

Since ancient times, countless powerhouses have entered it, just to seek longevity, but unfortunately, very few who entered came out alive.

Even peerless Great Emperors had once stepped into it.

Legend has it that the Longevity Great Emperor of Longevity Holy Land obtained a heaven-defying fortune in Undying City, which allowed him to attain the Dao and become an Emperor!

Yan Qingrou said, "The strongest person in our Danhe Realm, Senior Xiu Tianchen, also plans to participate. The elders from various forces have come to Danxuan Province to rendezvous with Senior Xiu Tianchen."
