Just the two of you?

Mufu Peak!

With the return of several disciples, this area once again gained a touch of human warmth.

Zhong Qing, as always, stubbornly refined the Quenching God Pill!

However, the results were not satisfactory.

After the pill furnace exploded for who knows how many times.

He looked at the two Outer Sect Disciples waiting nearby.

"You two, come and help me!"

Finally, he chose to ask Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian for help.

"Alright!"

Upon hearing this, the two were excited.

Although the Peak Lord's talent in pill refinement was still disappointingly poor.

They loved the task of assisting.

After all, this was one of the few legitimate opportunities to see the pill formula in their Peak Lord's hands.

The two busied themselves, running back and forth.

They seized every spare moment, determined to engrave the pill formula firmly in their minds.

"As expected, it truly is an ancient miraculous pill!"

"This pill, using only the simplest ingredients, can refine a super-grade divine pill with extraordinary efficacy and superb quality."

"If this pill formula were to spread, it would probably drive the entire Pill Cauldron Pavilion into a frenzy!"

Wu Yue's expression was excited, as he watched and commented.

Shi Xiaotian sighed, "Indeed!"

"Such a miraculous pill formula, so cleverly conceived and extraordinarily functional, is more than a hundred times more profound than the pill formulas circulating on the market!"

Of course, while the two praised, they did not forget their main task.

With their repeated suggestions and help, Zhong Qing's pill refinement this time went much smoother.

Of course, it was only the steps that were smooth; it was still quite far from forming a pill.

As noon approached.

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian's expressions suddenly froze.

In their perception, a familiar aura appeared not far outside Mufu Peak.

"Why is he here?"

The two exchanged glances.

From this familiar aura, they both understood the identity of the newcomer.

It was none other than the Limitless Sect Master—Sect Leader Ouyang Hao!

"Could it be that he came for us two?"

Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian communicated with their eyes.

They both speculated about the purpose of Sect Leader Ouyang Hao's visit.

But no matter what, they could not let him disturb Zhong Qing.

If they displeased that person, it would truly be a huge problem.

Thinking of this.

Wu Yue hurriedly whispered to Zhong Qing, "Peak Lord, an old acquaintance has come to inquire; may your disciples go out and greet him?"

"Go ahead!" Zhong Qing said indifferently.

Having received Zhong Qing's approval, the two then got up and left Mufu Peak.

Not long after leaving the peak, they saw Sect Leader Ouyang Hao arriving through the air.

When the two parties met, the atmosphere was somewhat awkward.

Sect Leader Ouyang Hao descended from the sky, his gaze towards the two filled with complexity.

Originally, he had repeatedly warned himself on the way that saving the Old Ancestor was paramount, and other minor details could be put aside for now.

However, at this very moment.

He couldn't help himself.

In the end, a thousand words condensed into a single sentence.

"Why?"

This soul-searching question made Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian a bit uncomfortable.

After all, they had indeed acted improperly first in this matter.

However, if given another chance, they would still choose to leave the Limitless Sect and join the Immortal River Sect.

After a long silence, Wu Yue stepped forward and slowly said.

"Sect Master, this matter is a long story."

"Let's not talk about it for now."

"You came to find us, presumably not to hold us accountable, right?"

These words instantly made Sect Leader Ouyang Hao, who was about to scold the two, freeze.

Indeed!

This time, not only could he not hold them accountable, but he also needed their help.

This... was very frustrating.

However, thinking of the Old Ancestor being in critical condition, he disregarded everything else.

He quickly explained the Old Ancestor's current situation, stating that it required the combined efforts of everyone from Pill Refinement Peak to have the confidence to refine a pill that could heal the soul.

The two did not refuse this.

"Please wait a moment, Sect Master. For this trip, we need to ask for instructions from the Peak Lord."

Wu Yue's attitude made Sect Leader Ouyang Hao feel a pang of sadness.

After all, even when the two were in the Limitless Sect, they had never been so respectful to him.

This made him feel somewhat incredible.

They were both leaders.

He was a Sacred Land Sect Master.

He was above tens of thousands of people.

Zhong Qing was merely a Peak Lord of a second-rate sect.

Why could he make the two follow him so devotedly?

And what kind of charm did he possess to make the two so utterly devoted, even needing to report before leaving?

As Wu Yue went in to explain the situation to Zhong Qing.

Shi Xiaotian seemed to have noticed Sect Leader Ouyang Hao's confusion.

He immediately said, "Sect Master, this matter is a bit complicated."

"Why are we two willing to be Outer Sect Disciples here? You'll know when we return with you!"

Not long after, Wu Yue came out of the small courtyard.

Zhong Qing readily agreed to his and Shi Xiaotian's plan to return to the Limitless Sect to refine pills and save someone.

"Sect Master, saving someone is like fighting a fire; let's go quickly!"

Speaking of the two, they still had deep feelings for the Limitless Sect.

And they also understood the critical situation of the Limitless Sect's Old Ancestor.

The few of them did not delay at all and set off from Mufu Peak.

After a day of urgent travel, they finally arrived at the Limitless Sect.

Wu Ji Hall!

With the arrival of Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian, the high-ranking officials who were waiting in the main hall couldn't help but rejoice.

Their arrival meant that the Old Ancestor now had a chance.

At this moment, Six Elder stepped forward and said to the two, "Old Bai, Old Hei, I believe the Sect Master has already told you about the situation."

"Time is tight, and the task is heavy; we hope you two will do your utmost."

"However, you don't need to feel too much pressure. This time, the pill refinement will be a collective effort of Pill Refinement Peak; you two just need to assist as usual."

Wu Yue pondered slightly, saying nothing more.

With Wu Yue and Shi Xiaotian in place.

Sect Leader Ouyang Hao waved his hand, and everyone from Pill Refinement Peak was summoned to Wu Ji Hall.

At the same time, various spiritual herbs, precious materials, and ingredients were prepared, piled up like mountains!

Among these, every single spiritual herb was extremely valuable.

There was no shortage of high-grade spiritual herbs and top-grade spiritual herbs.

There were even a few Medicine Kings mixed in.

At this moment, the unique heritage of a Sacred Land Sect was fully displayed.

In the bustling main hall.

The Limitless Sect's alchemists were arguing endlessly.

Because this was a group pill refinement.

Some believed that those with stronger fire control techniques should lead.

Others believed that it would be better for those with abundant spiritual energy to take the lead.

But after a long argument, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.

After all, this matter was too significant; it concerned the life and death of their Old Ancestor.

If the Old Ancestor were to pass away, their Limitless Sect would likely fall from its status as a Sacred Land.

No one could bear such responsibility.

Seeing the endless arguments.

Shi Xiaotian and Wu Yue exchanged glances, seemingly having made a decision.

Then Shi Xiaotian spoke up, "Everyone, for this pill refinement, why don't the two of us lead?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked.

"You two?"

Sect Leader Ouyang Hao looked at Shi Xiaotian.

His expression was full of doubt.

It wasn't because he was deliberately suppressing them for leaving the Limitless Sect.

It was because he truly didn't believe that Shi Xiaotian and the other could lead. Although Shi Xiaotian and the other's pill refinement skills were indeed very strong, they were not ranked highly within the entire Pill Refinement Peak.
