It is easy to find something after searching for a long time.

Above the firmament, Fire Enchantress’s figure streaked across the sky like a spark with lightning.

The direction she was headed was none other than Phoenix Feather Sect.

Currently, Phoenix Feather Sect was a well-known entity throughout the entire Chaotic Land.

Along the way, she continuously inquired about the situation at Phoenix Feather Sect.

Although Fire Enchantress was arrogant, she was definitely not foolish!

The fact that the other party could cultivate ten thousand Innate Dao Body disciples to make it onto the rankings, and even cause Ye Ji to fall deeply and irrevocably in love within a short period, surely indicated something extraordinary.

She did not believe that with her cultivation at the Saint Realm Third Heaven, she could directly subdue the other party by force.

Therefore, when dealing with Zhong Qing, she had no intention of using brute force from the very beginning.

Only through strategy, not by force.

And in her mind, a preliminary, refined plan had already formed.

The other party could charm Ye Ji to such an extent, making her unable to control her emotions and fall desperately in love.

Why not use his own methods against him?

She possessed a Bewitching Body!

In this world, besides Lord Gu Chenxian, she had never seen anyone who could resist her allure.

If she could make the so-called Zhong Qing fall for her and love her, what secret would be difficult to extract from him? It would be a piece of cake.

Even if she asked him to hand over the essence of fortune, he would probably have no choice but to obediently offer it up.

By then, just as she had said earlier, she could even bring Zhong Qing before Ye Ji, letting her see that the man she was devoted to was only fit to wag his tail and beg for mercy before her, to be toyed with in her palm.

As soon as she thought of this, Fire Enchantress was already somewhat impatient to see Ye Ji’s expression.

She and Ye Ji had been in a loving rivalry for many years, and although Ye Ji was deeply entangled in a love affair, which Fire Enchantress found quite disdainful.

But having the man whom the other party loved grovel before her still gave her a strange thrill.

This proved that in every aspect, she was beyond Ye Ji’s reach.

And to accomplish this entire plan, the first step was to find that man.

With this thought, it wasn't long before Fire Enchantress arrived near Phoenix Feather Sect.

She also possessed the Emperor Armor of the Tortoise and the Extreme Dao Scroll, so when she infiltrated Phoenix Feather Sect, she was not detected by anyone.

…

At this moment, Zhong Qing was unaware that he had been targeted by another woman.

However, even if he knew, he wouldn't care too much.

As he arrived at Pill Refinement Peak, it immediately caused a stir on the peak.

His presence on Pill Refinement Peak today made everyone even more overjoyed.

Countless people rushed forward to greet him, and upon learning that their master intended to refine pills, everyone was even more moved.

One by one, they expressed their desire to learn their master's earth-shattering and ghost-weeping pill refinement techniques.

Zhong Qing felt a bit awkward about this.

He knew nothing about refining pills.

In terms of pill refinement, he was purely driven by interest.

But as for talent?

That was truly too ordinary!

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian, who had followed Zhong Qing from the Eastern Region, knew Zhong Qing's pill refinement skills, and it was indeed accurate to describe them as an alternative form of earth-shattering and ghost-weeping.

However, this talent should not be easily displayed in front of others, otherwise it might affect their master's glorious and magnificent image.

Immediately, with the thought of prioritizing their master, they found an excuse and dismissed everyone.

Although everyone wanted to stay and watch, seeing that their master had no intention of showing off in front of others, they could only regretfully withdraw.

Then, the entire Pill Refinement Peak was left with only Zhong Qing, Wu Yue, and Shi Xiaotian!

“Master, what kind of pill do you want to refine this time?”

Wu Yue asked with a fawning expression.

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Qing casually flicked a ball of the Heaven and Earth Exotic Flame, Purple Gold Glazed Flame, into the ground fire sea beneath the alchemy furnace.

“This time, let’s start by refining a relatively simple fourth-grade Primordial Cultivation Pill to get a feel for it!”

At his peak, Zhong Qing had once refined a sixth-grade medicinal pill.

But that time, a slight accident occurred.

What was originally intended to be a great tonic pill later turned into a poisonous one.

Now, his cultivation had grown exponentially, incomparable to what it was back then, and with the aid of the exotic flame.

He was confident he could handle a fourth-grade medicinal pill.

Upon seeing the legendary Purple Gold Glazed Flame, Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian's beards trembled violently.

Heaven and Earth Exotic Flames were the supreme alchemy fires that alchemists dreamed of!

And among all the Heaven and Earth Exotic Flames, the Purple Gold Glazed Flame was the most revered in the hearts of alchemists.

Simply because this exotic flame was more docile and easier to control compared to other Heaven and Earth Exotic Flames, and it could even increase the success rate of pill refinement.

“With this Purple Gold Glazed Flame, refining a small fourth-grade Primordial Cultivation Pill, I believe with Master’s methods, it will surely be a piece of cake.”

Shi Xiaotian had already offered his congratulations.

Zhong Qing nodded, feeling very pleased.

“Open the furnace!”

He instructed the two, already impatient to show off his skills.

The two nodded!

They skillfully opened the alchemy furnace, guided the furnace fire, prepared the spiritual materials, and completed all the preliminary preparations.

Zhong Qing stepped before the ten-zhang-tall alchemy furnace, and once the furnace fire reached the appropriate temperature, he began to methodically place the medicinal ingredients inside.

Then, he formed hand seals, guided the exotic flame, and extracted the essence of the spiritual herbs.

However, after half an hour!

The exotic flame became restless!

It surged into the sky with an unstoppable force.

“Boom…”

A thunderous roar was heard.

The entire Venerable-grade cauldron directly exploded!

The impact was so violent that the entire mountain range trembled along with it.

If not for the countless grand formations protecting Phoenix Feather Sect, this single impact wave would likely have completely destroyed the entire sect gate.

In an instant!

Zhong Qing’s face immediately darkened.

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian exchanged glances, their faces filled with disbelief.

The Purple Gold Glazed Flame, known as the most docile exotic flame, could actually cause a furnace explosion?

This, in a sense, was unprecedented!

At this moment, countless alchemist disciples waiting outside Pill Refinement Peak all showed expressions of amazement in their eyes.

“Is this Master’s pill refinement technique? Just the commotion is so grand, I wonder how astonishingly high the quality will be?”

“Could it be? Is he refining some kind of Saint-grade pill?”

This commotion not only startled them but also the entire sect.

“What’s going on?”

Countless figures rushed to the outside of Pill Refinement Peak, asking questions.

“It’s nothing! Master is refining an earth-shattering divine pill.”

An alchemist provided the answer.

Everyone immediately understood.

No wonder!

Given their master’s abilities, even if he were to punch a hole in the sky one day, no one would be surprised.

Immediately, they all retreated one after another.

And this commotion also startled Fire Enchantress, who had infiltrated Phoenix Feather Sect.

“This is? Has someone attacked Phoenix Feather Sect?!”

It was not surprising that she had this thought; the commotion created earlier was simply too great.

“Who is so bold? To dare to attack Phoenix Feather Sect, I must go and see!”

As she muttered to herself, her figure moved like a ghost, heading straight to Pill Refinement Peak.

It wasn’t until she heard the conversations of the disciples on Pill Refinement Peak that she learned it wasn’t someone attacking the sect, but rather their master, Zhong Qing, refining pills.

This made Fire Enchantress rejoice!

It truly was a case of finding what you seek without searching.

She had been wondering where to find Zhong Qing, but she never expected him to be here!
