Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Dan Qi’s face broke into a wide smile as he said, "That’s right. Whether it’s first-turn, third-turn, sixth-turn, or ninth-turn, a single furnace can only produce one pill. This is also why the True Immortal Elixir is so astonishingly potent."

"The six ingredients needed to refine a First-Turn True Immortal Elixir combined don’t bring much improvement for someone at the Early Stage of True Immortal; but these herbs mutually reinforce and counteract each other, requiring immense control, and after they’re fused, undergo a severalfold transformation."

"Only by condensing them into one pill can the effect be maximized!"

Xu Yang recalled the earlier alchemy process, falling into contemplative thought.

"Kid, are you willing to take me as your master?" Dan Qi suddenly asked.

"Disciple is willing."

Xu Yang was overjoyed, immediately kneeling without hesitation.

"Disciple Xu Yang pays respects to Master!"

Watching this decisive act made Yi Que curl his lips—like this guy had already been certain of becoming an apprentice at Dan Feng the moment he arrived.

But thinking that Xu Yang would soon be his younger disciple brother, Yi Que couldn’t help revealing a motherly smile.

"Hahaha, good!"

"I never thought I’d take on another outstanding disciple. In terms of talent, you even surpass your second and first senior brothers, but you must never slack off!" Dan Qi said solemnly.

"Yes, Master."

Xu Yang nodded vigorously, secretly amazed—there were actually two senior brothers.

The second senior brother seemed fine, but what about that first senior brother he’d never met—what kind of a person was he?

"Master, there’s something your disciple dares not hide."

"Oh?"

Under the confused gazes of Dan Qi and Yi Que, Xu Yang forced a smile: "During the assessment, I offended the Yang Family’s second young master, Yang Xiao, so after getting accepted, I wanted to come to Dan Feng to seek protection."

He hid nothing.

"Yang Xiao, second young master? Yang Yuan’s brother?"

Yi Que was taken aback, glanced at Dan Qi, then shook his head and chuckled, "It’s just Yang Xiao, so what! Even if you’d offended Yang Yuan, it doesn’t matter!"

Dan Qi said calmly, "On the path of cultivation, whether in the Alchemy Dao or elsewhere, we must fight for everything; if you offend, then so be it—no matter who’s right or wrong, you must always strive to win. Understand?"

Xu Yang’s whole body shook—so these are my Master and Senior Brother?

Good!

Dominant!

Especially Dan Qi’s words—they made his blood boil.

If you offend, then so be it. No matter who’s right or wrong, always strive to win!

Listen to that—how exciting!

Whether it’s the Martial Dao or the Spirit Dao, after all we’ve been through, isn’t it all the same?

For the sake of resources, chances—who cares about right or wrong?

It’s simply not important!

The only thing that matters is winning or losing!

If you win, then you’re right.

That’s the survival law of this world.

But in the Immortal Domain, it’s even more naked and direct!

It’s right there on the surface.

"Kid, how did you do in the assessment?" Dan Qi asked with interest.

Xu Yang scratched his head. "First stage to the end—I should be first; second stage, I got the Tier Four Black Fire Seed."

"As for combat, I wouldn’t dare boast, but I do have some confidence!"

At these words, Dan Qi and Yi Que exchanged glances, both visibly astonished.

Yi Que said, "Master, how shall we arrange things for Junior Brother now?"

Xu Yang couldn’t help looking at Dan Qi.

Dan Qi pondered, "First, have him enter Dan Feng. Of the four stewards, three are present—you three will witness his advancement to First-rank Pill Master together, and then keep it secret."

"Last time, your senior brother stirred up a huge mess with those underhanded tricks—really made me lose face; but this time, it’s a chance to regain some dignity."

"No need to show up at the inner sect—you’ll stay at Dan Feng, and no one will be able to find you; after three months, during the rookie competition, make a real splash!"

Yi Que perked up, "Master really thinks things through. When the rookie competition comes, hehe, if Junior Brother takes a good ranking, I can already imagine the faces of those old geezers."

"Careful with your words—’old geezers’!"

Dan Qi glared at Yi Que, but the gratified smile on his face betrayed his true thoughts.

Xu Yang had a strange expression. From the sound of it, that first senior brother didn’t seem too simple.

"I’ll do as Master arranges," Xu Yang nodded.

Now, he’s become an elder’s disciple—the lord of Dan Feng, with a status second to none.

The Yang Family’s threat was now reduced to the minimum!

Next, it was time to focus on growth!

Already possessing a twelve-grade Immortal Foundation, and on the verge of breaking through to the True Immortal Realm!

"Come with me, I’ll teach you my unique Alchemy Dao skills."

Dan Qi waved his hand.

Xu Yang felt his spirits soar.

The Floating Light Elixir Skill was already extraordinary—but as an elder of Black Fire Immortal Mountain and the lord of Dan Feng, Dan Qi’s unique Alchemy Dao techniques were surely even more formidable.

"Hurry on—our Master’s attainments in the Alchemy Dao are unmatched across all of North Province!" Yi Que said beside him with a laugh.

"I’ll trouble you another time, Senior Brother." Xu Yang cupped his fists in salute.

Yi Que laughed heartily, waving his hand.

"Junior Brother is truly interesting—nothing to nitpick, and much more reliable than Senior Brother."

On the other side—

Xu Yang followed Dan Qi to the highest point of Dan Feng, stopping before a wooden hut surrounded and hidden by ancient trees.

"What I command is Earth Flame Black Fire; the Alchemy Dao I practice is the Earth Flame Elixir Formula inherited from Black Fire Immortal Mountain."

Dan Qi solemnly said, "Earth Flame Black Fire is violent and fierce, vast and majestic; the Earth Flame Elixir Formula is born from its mysteries, and can draw upon the power of heaven and earth’s immortal spirits to incredible heights."

"It has been honed and improved by generations of Pill Masters. Now within the immortal sect, alchemy is carried out at sites gathered with Earth Flame Black Fire..."

Dan Qi narrowed his eyes and said proudly, "When I act, I can control sixteen alchemy cauldrons at the same time, command the Earth Flame Black Fire, and produce over fifty tier-three pills in a single batch!"

Hiss!

Xu Yang gasped, stunned into disbelief.

Controlling sixteen cauldrons at once and producing over fifty pills in one go—if it were tier-two, that would already be something, but those are tier-three pills!

Absolutely godlike!

He suddenly realized—relying on external fire wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.

"Master, in our alchemy, using one’s own immortal fire yields twice the result with half the effort; but when relying on external fire, it must require an extremely strong Primordial Spirit, as well as great affinity and control over the corresponding immortal fire."

Dan Qi praised, "Not bad! Your talent outshines both your senior brothers."

"On this matter, talent is critical!"

"The eldest went down the wrong path. The second, while talented, is still lacking in the end—but you, kid, may be able to carry on my alchemy techniques!"

Xu Yang licked his lips, "Disciple will give it my all!"

Dan Qi laughed heartily, increasingly satisfied with Xu Yang.

Then, he flicked his finger.

Boom!

A torrent of information surged into Xu Yang’s Primordial Spirit.

Earth Flame Elixir Formula, insights into the Alchemy Dao, Fire Control Skill, Pill Condensing insights...

Xu Yang’s head spun, the stream of fragmented knowledge making him incomparably stirred.

This was a nearly complete inheritance of the Alchemy Dao!

With this, he could avoid countless detours.

All these insights, in every aspect, would be treasures for any Pill Master!

The sort of rarities no price could buy.

The rush of knowledge slowly faded, and Xu Yang stood there like a statue, completely immersed, forgetting everything else.

Dan Qi sat beside him, smiling with narrowed eyes, flicking his sleeve to conjure Immortal Tea and Spiritual Spring, making himself a cup. The fragrant aroma spread, and he took a deep breath before drinking it contentedly, gazing comfortably at Xu Yang.

"Later, I’ll have the second one test this kid’s combat skills."

"The humiliation from the eldest must be made up for."

Just thinking about his first disciple, Dan Qi’s face darkened. That little bastard—who knows where he’s run off to this time.

Damn it all!
