320: Perfect quality soul nourishing pill

“It seems there was a Divine Sense peeking at us just now, but the other party was very cautious, and their Divine Sense was also very powerful.”

“It’s highly likely that it’s the person who left the spiritual energy fluctuation at the entrance of Shenshou Valley at the very beginning!”

“We should leave quickly.”

The opponent’s Divine Sense strength was clearly far beyond his own.

Mu Feng felt it was best to leave this place quickly.

His Divine Sense strength was almost no different from a Nascent Soul.

Yet, the other party could peek over without him realizing it.

This indicated that their Divine Sense was definitely stronger than his.

A person with a Nascent Soul Divine Sense could only be one of a few situations.

First, the other party was a Nascent Soul expert, and their Divine Sense was naturally also at the Nascent Soul level.

This probability was general, because the Trial Tournament did not allow Nascent Soul Cultivators to enter.

However, it did not rule out that some Nascent Soul Cultivators might have entered by possessing someone through a rare treasure or secret art.

After all, there were many treasures in this Trial Tournament.

Especially in the Mystic Heaven Tower, there was even the existence of a heavenly spiritual treasure.

It was normal for a Nascent Soul Old Monster to sneak in.

The second was that the other party was born with a Divine Sense different from ordinary people; although they were only at the Core Formation Stage, their Divine Sense was no different from a Nascent Soul.

There was also a third situation: the other party, like him, had Cultivated Spirit Refining, and their attainment was even higher than his.

In this way, they could naturally peek at him without him realizing it.

None of these three situations were good news for Mu Feng.

Therefore, leaving this place now was the best solution.

Anyway, the purpose of coming here had already been achieved.

There was no need to continue staying here.

As Mu Feng spoke, he was about to retreat.

Li Chenxi, however, was still a bit confused.

Her Divine Sense was much lower than Mu Feng’s.

Even with Divine Soul defense skills, she hadn’t noticed the other party peeking at her.

So, when she heard Mu Feng say that someone was using Divine Sense to probe them and that they needed to leave immediately, she felt a bit dizzy.

“Is someone peeking at us?”

“Why didn’t I see anything…”

As Li Chenxi was speaking, she suddenly realized that Mu Feng had cautiously retreated back along the path they came from.

Helpless, she could only shut up and follow him.

...

As Mu Feng retreated.

Somewhere in Shenshou Valley, a small team of people was using a mirror to observe the movements of Mu Feng and Li Chenxi as they retreated.

“How is it? Should we make a move, Junior Martial Uncle?”

“They seem to have opened many good things from that treasure chest.”

Among the crowd, a Strong Man held a small mirror and respectfully asked the old man lying down and resting for his opinion.

The Strong Man was already at the Nascent Soul Late Stage level.

As for the old man, it was unknown if he was using some rare treasure to conceal his cultivation, as his Realm level was not displayed.

However, judging from the Strong Man’s respectful attitude.

He was very likely the Nascent Soul Old Monster who had sneaked in.

“We have our mission to do upon entering the valley; it’s best not to stir up trouble.”

“That kid doesn’t look easy to deal with.”

“When I just used my Divine Sense to probe him, I almost got discovered by him.”

“Fortunately, I cut off the probe in time.”

“Otherwise, we might really have exposed our location.”

He had just used his Divine Sense to look at Mu Feng.

However, as soon as he probed, Mu Feng discovered him.

So, he knew Mu Feng was not to be trifled with.

Naturally, he also restrained his subordinates from causing trouble.

After all, their mission was more important.

“Junior Martial Uncle, are you sure you’re not joking?”

“The other party could actually detect that you, old man, were peeking at him?!”

The old man’s words left the Strong Man completely astonished.

He knew the old man’s strength.

He was a genuine Nascent Soul Old Monster.

Moreover, he was particularly skilled in Divine Soul related abilities.

Even he himself wouldn't have noticed anything if he were probed.

Yet, Mu Feng, a person who was only at the Dan Formation, could discover the old man’s probe.

This made the Strong Man find it hard to believe.

“What? Do you think this old man is lying to you?”

“That kid’s methods are not bad.”

“If you don’t believe me, you can take people over and try it.”

“But don’t say this old man didn’t warn you beforehand; with your current strength, going to find trouble with the other party is just asking for a beating.”

“Moreover, if our plan fails because of this, don’t blame this old man for turning hostile.”

The old man glanced at the Strong Man.

He warned.

“Understood, Junior Martial Uncle, we won’t act rashly.”

The Strong Man’s eyes darted, and he said respectfully.

“That’s for the best. Let me tell you another piece of news: that kid has a very high amount of Evil Qi on him.”

“You also know the Cultivation Technique I Cultivate, which allows me to see the Evil Qi on others and thus judge how strong an opponent is.”

“Let me put it this way: the Evil Qi on him is twenty to thirty times that of someone at the same stage.”

“So much Evil Qi indicates that the other party is a decisive killer and a master who has repeatedly slain opponents of his own rank.”

“So you’d best put away your little schemes.”

It seemed he was afraid the Strong Man would mess things up and ruin their important task.

The old man warned him again.

“Twenty to thirty times?!”

“Junior Martial Uncle, are you sure you didn’t see wrong?”

The Strong Man swallowed, his face full of shock.

He knew that the Cultivation Technique the old man Cultivated could discern a person’s strength.

Generally speaking.

The more Evil Qi a person had on them, the stronger that person was.

And vice versa.

If Mu Feng truly had a large amount of Evil Qi clinging to him, then his combat power would certainly far exceed that of ordinary people.

He should just obediently listen to the old man.

Lest he try to gain an advantage but end up suffering a loss.

And ruin the plan.

Then he would be miserable.

“Hmph, if you don’t believe me?”

“Feel free to try!”

Seeing that the Strong Man dared to question him, the old man snorted coldly.

He said unhappily.

Seeing this, the Strong Man also knew he had said the wrong thing and repeatedly apologized: “No, no, who doesn’t know that your Junior Martial Uncle’s Yin Sha Art is unparalleled in the world.”

“Hmph, it’s good that you know.”

The old man snorted coldly, then closed his eyes, no longer bothering with the man.

.......

In the valley.

Mu Feng led Li Chenxi through it quickly.

The Little Lizard was placed behind him to cover their rear.

Mu Feng traveled while releasing his Divine Sense and Spiritual Eye Divine Ability to fully probe every blade of grass and tree around him.

He wanted to prevent himself from being ambushed or falling into a trap.

Although that Divine Sense swept past and disappeared without a trace.

Mu Feng was certain it wasn’t his imagination.

“Phew, finally out!”

Under the two people’s rapid journey.

In less than a few minutes.

The two returned to the previous entrance.

The Formation he had set up earlier was still rotating.

Seeing this.

Mu Feng’s tense heart finally relaxed a little.

He still didn’t want to run into those Nascent Soul Old Monsters right now.

Although, his current methods should be fearless of Nascent Soul Cultivators.

However, without any benefit, he was unwilling to use his trump cards.

“Hmm, I still need to improve my strength further, at least enough to deal with these Nascent Soul Old Monsters with conventional methods without having to use my trump cards.”

Mu Feng felt that he might need to further enhance his own strength.

Since Nascent Soul Cultivators had already appeared in this tournament, his previous preparations were somewhat insufficient.

After all, the Yang Lightning Bead was only enough for one or two uses.

And since one Nascent Soul Cultivator had appeared, there was no guarantee that others wouldn't appear later.

If he wanted to take first place.

He must have sufficient means to ensure that he could keep good items in his possession after acquiring them.

Otherwise, if he was targeted by a Nascent Soul Old Monster right after getting good items.

Wouldn’t he be depressed to death?

Fortunately, he now had a method to greatly increase his strength.

That was to refine the Soul Nourishing Pill and raise his Divine Origin Skill to the fourth level.

Sixteen times the Divine Sense bonus would be enough for him to control his Natal Flying Sword even more.

The power of the Qing Luo Sword Formation would definitely skyrocket, right?

Coupled with the Soul-Devouring Bee Cloud Sword also being close to advancing to an Advanced Magic Treasure.

As long as all conditions were met.

Then he truly wouldn't have to worry about any Nascent Soul Old Monsters.

“Fairy, let us part ways here.”

The appearance of the Nascent Soul made Mu Feng feel pressure.

As soon as he exited the valley.

He immediately bid farewell and left.

Li Chenxi originally wanted to continue following Mu Feng, picking up scraps.

Now, seeing Mu Feng’s solemn expression, she had no choice but to give up.

“Okay, goodbye, boss!”

“Little Yue, Little Lizard, goodbye!”

As Li Chenxi waved goodbye.

Mu Feng released the Gale Boat, taking his two pets away from this troublesome place.

“Where should I do Alchemy? There doesn’t seem to be any Earth Fire in these places.”

“Why don’t I just go back to that Immortal Cave in the Luan Shi Lin (Chaotic Stone Forest) from the beginning?”

“But it seems a bit far.”

On the Gale Boat.

Mu Feng suddenly found himself in a predicament.

Alchemy required Earth Fire.

Currently, the only place that met this condition seemed to be the Immortal Cave he had encountered earlier.

However, the distance was a bit far.

And he had gone to great lengths to get here.

He didn’t want to go back.

After all, the resources over there should have all been taken.

Going back and forth.

Too much time would be wasted.

【There is a deserted Immortal Cave not far ahead. Although it has been abandoned, there is still Earth Fire present. You can do Alchemy there.】

Just as Mu Feng was hesitating.

The long-unseen red prompt appeared.

“There’s an Immortal Cave ahead? That’s great!”

Seeing the prompt.

Mu Feng immediately steered the Gale Boat and quickly headed there.

Whether there were resources or not didn’t matter; his top priority now was to Cultivate the Divine Origin Skill to the fourth layer.

This would give him the confidence to face Nascent Soul Cultivators.

“This should be it.”

“Found it!”

Mu Feng followed the route provided by the prompt.

Before long, his Divine Sense detected the location of the abandoned Immortal Cave.

He immediately took his two pets and quickly headed there.

A few minutes later.

Mu Feng put away the Gale Boat.

After confirming there was no danger in the Immortal Cave, he took the little fox inside.

As for the Little Lizard, he placed it outside the Immortal Cave to stand guard.

This was to prevent anyone from breaking in while he was doing Alchemy and Cultivating.

Since this Immortal Cave had already been searched, Mu Feng was too lazy to explore other secret chambers.

He walked directly towards the forging room.

Indeed, the Earth Fire inside was still usable, and Mu Feng immediately took out the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace.

It was fortunate that he had found this Pill Furnace in that Ancient Cultivator Cave earlier.

Otherwise, he really wouldn’t have been able to do Alchemy here.

Opening the Workshop.

Mu Feng brought up the Soul Nourishing Pill recipe.

【Soul Nourishing Pill: sanlun flower x1, Lingxi Grass x1, Primordial Spirit x15, any eighth-order Yao Beast Inner Core x1.】

【System Reminder: All Soul Nourishing Pill Materials have been gathered. Do you wish to refine the Medicinal Pill?】

“Refine!”

Mu Feng nodded.

Then he put all the various Materials one by one into the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace.

The flames within the Pill Furnace were very strong.

As soon as the various Materials were put in, they instantly melted into various medicinal liquids.

Even the hardest eighth-order Yao Beast core didn't last long before it was completely melted.

This allowed Mu Feng to relax his tense heart.

Originally, he thought that if it couldn't melt, he would add some huo yan grass.

He didn't expect the temperature of the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace's flames to exceed his expectations.

One could only say that a Magic Treasure Pill Furnace was indeed a Magic Treasure Pill Furnace.

It was not something a trashy Pill Furnace could compare to.

The Materials were placed.

The entire interior of the Pill Furnace then began to operate at high speed.

The Pill Furnace flames evaporated the dregs of the various medicinal liquids, leaving the essence behind.

And slowly caused it to form a Medicinal Pill.

Looking at the gradually forming Soul Nourishing Pill, Mu Feng became increasingly excited.

Speaking of which.

Although he had done Alchemy many times, he had never seen how a Medicinal Pill was formed.

In the past, he would just put in the Materials and let it operate on its own.

Whether it succeeded or not.

Or what quality it would be, it was all left to chance.

He had never interfered much.

But this time, when using the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace for Alchemy, he found that he could actually see the Formation of the Medicinal Pill inside through the Pill Furnace.

This allowed him to better control the Formation of the Medicinal Pill.

The quality was completely within his control.

Mu Feng finally understood why this Magic Treasure Pill Furnace could improve the quality of Medicinal Pills.

The refining time for the Soul Nourishing Pill was not long.

In less than ten minutes.

The Medicinal Pill had already begun to take shape.

Mu Feng estimated that it would be ready in another one or two minutes.

He participated in the entire process of refining this Soul Nourishing Pill.

Basically, every step was perfectly completed.

“I wonder if I can refine a perfect quality Medicinal Pill!”

“Speaking of which, I don’t think I’ve ever refined a perfect quality Medicinal Pill.”

Mu Feng waited excitedly for the Medicinal Pill to be released from the Pill Furnace.

He had a premonition.

This Soul Nourishing Pill had a very high probability of being of perfect quality.

“Whoosh!”

Another minute passed.

The Soul Nourishing Pill in the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace was completely formed.

And quickly shot out from the Medicinal Pill.

Fortunately, Mu Feng’s attention had always been on it.

The moment it came out, he immediately caught it with his palm.

【System Reminder: Soul Nourishing Pill successfully refined, Alchemy experience increased by 200 points.】

【System Reminder: Soul Nourishing Pill x1】

...

“Two hundred experience points!”

Mu Feng’s eyes lit up.

This was the first time he had encountered so much experience.

This made him even more confident in the quality of this Medicinal Pill.

His attention was focused.

Soon.

The information of this Soul Nourishing Pill appeared before Mu Feng’s eyes.

【Name: Soul Nourishing Pill】

【Quality: Perfect】

【Effect: After consumption, it can increase the Divine Soul and is an essential Medicinal Pill for Cultivating the fourth layer of Divine Origin Skill.】

“Perfect quality!”

“It really is perfect quality!”

“Awesome!”

Mu Feng saw that the quality column indeed stated 'perfect quality Medicinal Pill'.

He was so happy he felt like he could fly.

It wasn’t easy.

After refining Medicinal Pills so many times, he finally produced a perfect quality one.

This meant that his Alchemy skill had officially reached the ranks of a Great Master.

This step was very difficult.

Mu Feng had refined so many times and never succeeded.

He didn’t expect to succeed on his first try using the Purple Clarity Pill Furnace.

This shows how much a good Pill Furnace can improve Alchemy.
