349: Xuanhuang Immortal Pill

Xuan Huang light bloomed from the purple poison cauldron, and nine Medicinal Pills flew out simultaneously to hover in mid-air. Each one was as translucent as jade, breathing in Spiritual Qi as if they were living things.

This was not the end; smaller pills flew out one after another in a dense cluster, totaling seventy-two.

"A total of eighty-one pills: nine Low Grade Tier 3, and seventy-two Peak Grade Tier 2. Not bad!"

Liu Xuan took out Advanced boxes engraved with sealing Formation patterns and placed the nine Low Grade Tier 3 xuanhuang undying pills into them individually.

The secondary Peak Grade Tier 2 xuanhuang undying pills didn't require such care; nine to a bottle, stored in High Grade jade bottles was sufficient.

Liu Xuan took out one Low Grade Tier 3 xuanhuang undying pill and handed it to An Yunmiao. "Senior Sister, I created this xuanhuang undying pill myself. Please, give me your evaluation!"

An Yunmiao's mind wasn't on the Medicinal Pill; she was still in shock that Liu Xuan had truly refined a Tier 3 Medicinal Pill.

"Liu Xuan, since you are a Tier 3 Alchemist, why didn't you show my father back at the Zhengqi Tower?"

"You are a Tier 3 Alchemist Great Master at less than sixty years old; Father would have highly valued you."

'Is it that I didn't want to show him? He didn't ask!'

Back at the Zhengqi Tower, after True Lord Haoran saw Liu Xuan draw talismans out of thin air, he gave him the Mountain Shaking Sacred Bear, Big Stone, and immediately teleported him out. What could he have done?

Liu Xuan was known as the 'Four Excellences' of Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Talismans, and Formations. Among them, his Alchemy and Talismans were his weakest; his Artifact Refining and Formations were already at the peak of Tier 3. Yet, the world only knew of his Talismans.

Liu Xuan assumed a modest look. "My apprenticeship to Revered Master was out of sincerity, not an intentional attempt to curry favor."

"How could a mere Tier 3 Alchemist boast in front of Revered Master?"

An Yunmiao was stunned! It seemed to make sense. From what she knew, Liu Xuan had always been low-key. If her father didn't ask, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to volunteer a display. Furthermore, her father had suspected his identity was problematic at the time and hadn't given him the chance.

'Forget it, it's not too late to know now. Such an Alchemy Genius must be properly nurtured from now on!'

An Yunmiao planned to send this news back to her father later; such an Alchemy Genius could not be neglected as before.

Leaving those thoughts for later, she carefully examined the Medicinal Pill Liu Xuan handed over.

"The blood and Qi are robust yet gentle, but it lacks the Dao charm of the Divine Soul. It truly is a Beast Pill for increasing physical strength!"

A Middle Stage Tier 3 Yao Core, such a treasure, used to refine a mostly useless Beast Pill... If she hadn't witnessed Liu Xuan's skill as a Tier 3 Alchemist with her own eyes, she would have given him a harsh scolding.

"Junior Brother Liu, although my Beast Taming Sect values natal Spirit Beasts and the price of Beast Pills is relatively higher, a Yao Beast's cultivation depends more on Bloodline and accumulation. The price of a Beast Pill is still only ten to twenty percent of a cultivation pill of the same tier."

"A Middle Stage Tier 3 Yao Core is worth no less than thirty million Spirit Stones. Whether you can even break even on these pills depends on finding a suitable buyer. It's truly not worth it!"

Middle Stage Tier 3 Yao Cores were top-tier spiritual materials and rare. They were generally used to refine high-tier pills. Refining them into Beast Pills was indeed not worth it in the eyes of most people.

But that was for most people; Liu Xuan was different. The xuanhuang undying pill was no ordinary Beast Pill, but a gentle Beast Pill specially researched by Liu Xuan. Its greatest advantage was its gentleness; even a Qi Refining Cultivator could consume it.

Liu Xuan never intended to sell the xuan huang immortality pills; they were for nurturing his children.

To others, the xuanhuang undying pill was a Beast Pill of little value, but to Liu Xuan, it was a Divine Pill.

With eighty-one pills in total, distributed to his eighty-one children with the best talent, their cultivation would skyrocket, and his own cultivation would accelerate in turn. This was much more cost-effective than taking pills to Cultivate himself!

Of course, he couldn't tell An Yunmiao this. Liu Xuan humbly admitted his fault, saying, "Senior Sister is right to lecture me. My Alchemy level is currently insufficient, so I used high-tier Yao Cores to hone my skills. I definitely won't do it again!"

"Mhm! It's good that you understand."

An Yunmiao guessed this was the reason and didn't dwell on the issue. Liu Xuan was now a Tier 3 Alchemist; what did wasting one Tier 3 Yao Core matter?

She returned the pill to Liu Xuan. "I will immediately send someone to handle the purchase of the Yao Beast Essence Blood for you. You should focus on honing your Alchemy skills!"

Liu Xuan was delighted. "Thank you, Senior Sister!"

"Senior Sister, you must be tired after watching Alchemy for three days. Why don't we go out and relax?"

An Yunmiao wasn't tired, but now that the Alchemy was finished, there was indeed no need to stay in the Alchemy Room. She nodded and turned to walk outside.

Liu Xuan prepared to follow, but saw Zi Ling return to the purple poison cauldron, looking like she was going to consolidate what she had learned over the three days.

Little Compassionate had been placed in a corner again. When Liu Xuan looked over, the little girl was looking at him pitifully, not saying a word.

Liu Xuan picked up his daughter and said to Zi Ling, "In the future, when you have things to do, send our daughter to me. What's the point of a little girl watching you refine pills all by herself?"

"Little Compassionate, how about playing with Daddy from now on?" Liu Xuan smiled and pinched his daughter's cheek as he walked out.

"Okay! Okay!"

The little girl nodded excitedly, her grip on her cloth doll loosening slightly.

Liu Xuan carried his daughter, Xin Ci, and followed An Yunmiao. He was about to chat about the Beast Taming Sect when Xia He hurried over to report:

"Husband, Immortal Master Yunhe sent someone with an order, saying there is an important matter to discuss with Immortal Master Wang Qiao. True Person Wang is currently in seclusion, so..."

Liu Xuan glanced casually at An Yunmiao beside him, then instructed Xia He, "Where is the person? Bring him to see me now!"

"Yes!"

Xia He took the order and left.

A moment later, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator wearing a cloud-patterned dharma robe and an arrogant posture followed Xia He over, looking impatient.

Cheng Hao was very angry. He was a trusted Disciple of the Golden Core Great Immortal Master Yunhe and was ordered to deliver a message to True Person Wang.

It was one thing for True Person Wang to be in seclusion and not see him, but Liu Xuan, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator from a small place, actually dared to make him come and pay respects. He simply had no sense of etiquette!

"Husband, this is Fellow Daoist Cheng Hao. He is the one responsible for delivering the message for Yunhe."

"So it is Fellow Daoist Cheng. A pleasure to meet you!" Liu Xuan cupped his hands in greeting. "May I ask what business Yunhe has with my Junior Martial Uncle, True Person Wang?"

"He is currently in seclusion. If it is an important matter, I can pass it on for you."

Cheng Hao wanted to teach the ill-mannered Liu Xuan a lesson, but he suddenly saw An Yunmiao beside him, whose aura was profound and whose temperament was incredibly noble.

"Yun... Senior Sister Yun Miao!"

His expression changed drastically, and he bowed respectfully. "Disciple Cheng Hao greets Senior Sister!"

An Yunmiao waved her hand impatiently. "Answer the question!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Cheng Hao didn't dare say more and hurriedly turned to Liu Xuan. "My Revered Master wishes to purchase that Middle Stage Tier 3 Yao Core in True Person Wang's possession and asked me to invite him over to discuss the price."
