Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Yang Xiao and Lin Yue searched desperately for Xu Yang, but he was secretly hiding atop Dan Feng, following his own pace.

Earth Flame Elixir Formula, he had already mastered it thoroughly.

And under the witness of the three chief stewards of Dan Feng, he completed the First-Tier Pill Master assessment.

In this assessment, after Xu Yang became proficient with the Earth Flame Elixir Formula, he boldly attempted the Third-Turn True Immortal Elixir!

According to the history of Dan Feng, to be able to refine a Third-Turn True Immortal Elixir, most people need late stage True Immortal cultivation, only a few outrageously gifted ones in middle stage True Immortal.

Xu Yang was merely a First-Grade Immortal Soldier.

The two chief stewards, except for Yi Que, had their jaws drop in shock right then and there.

Pill Masters on Dan Feng have a special status in Black Fire Immortal Mountain, and their attire differed sharply from the ordinary disciples.

Outer sect disciples, inner sect disciples, and seed disciples all wear black robes, but Pill Masters wear white, embroidered with patterns of immortal fire.

One glance at the white robe is enough to identify a Pill Master; no immortal fire pattern means a Pill Master apprentice, yet to reach the rank; one immortal fire stands for First-Tier Pill Master, two for Second-Tier...

After finishing all this, Xu Yang settled on Dan Feng to focus on cultivation.

As for the inner sect, he simply paid it no mind.

Whatever the inner sect stewards did, he could act as if he had already left Black Fire Immortal Mountain.

When the new disciples’ tournament arrives, he would naturally reappear.

"The First-Tier Pill Master status is confirmed, each month’s resources will include a thousand First-Tier Immortal Crystals, ten Fiery Sun Purple Fire Elixirs, and one First-Turn True Immortal Elixir."

"If Master manages to secure the seed disciple spot at Dan Feng, resources in terms of Immortal Crystals and regular pills would be almost limitless, just First-Turn True Immortal Elixirs alone would reach five per month!"

The resources for seed disciples are truly astonishing.

Xu Yang looked at the pile of Immortal Crystals and stack of First-Tier pills at his side—all sent to him by Yi Que.

As a Second-Tier Pill Master, second disciple of Dan Qi, Yi Que’s net worth was naturally immense, these things were nothing to him.

"Although Master said there shouldn’t be any problem, even these resources aren’t enough."

"When I break through even further, even First-Turn True Immortal Elixirs become ineffective."

But Third-Turn True Immortal Elixirs were only accessible to most middle-stage True Immortals.

Even for seed disciples, there are limits!

It’s best to obtain two seed disciple identities.

With the resources of two added together, it would barely suffice.

Xu Yang speculated—it would only barely suffice.

Because he had not yet taken the final steps before forging his immortal foundation.

At that time, the resources consumed would be astronomical.

"These three months, I cannot take it easy."

Cultivation and alchemy!

He was determined to secure one of the two seed disciple spots at the new disciples’ tournament in three months.

This batch of newcomers, although he’d seen most, didn’t lack formidable ones.

Those few middle-stage True Immortal cultivators are hardly without background.

Upon thinking of this,

Xu Yang’s face grew solemn, tossing the heap of resources into the Divine Cauldron.

While waiting for refinement, he immersed himself in the Ten Thousand Blades Melody.

This blade technique packs considerable power—it is his current trump card.

As for the rudiments of Windfall Immortal Wilds, that was his real killer move.

Yi Que said he’d find a Second-Tier blade technique for him soon.

It would take some time when the moment came.

During cultivation, time felt never enough for Xu Yang.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

In just half a month, even all the resources Yi Que gave him were burnt through.

That day—

Yi Que paid him a visit.

"Junior Brother, I’ve got good news for you."

"Is it the seed disciple spot?"

Xu Yang’s spirit lifted.

Yi Que laughed: "Exactly! Thanks to Yang Yuan, the Sect Leader was pleased. After Master’s persuasion, Dan Feng was given a seed disciple spot, and the resources have all been approved."

"Also, Master and I prepared some extras for you, they’re all inside."

"By the way, last time I gave you all those resources—there should be plenty left, right?"

Xu Yang twitched at the corner of his mouth: "Used up."

"What? Used up? It’s just been half a month..." Yi Que’s eyes nearly popped out.

"Not only that, the resource quota from Dan Feng for this month is also exhausted."

Xu Yang could only helplessly shrug.

"No way, Junior Brother, your foundation is just...?" Yi Que stared at Xu Yang like he was a monster.

First-Grade Immortal Soldier—even Yang Yuan back then wasn’t so excessive...

The total resources would last a middle-stage True Immortal more than a month!

Xu Yang pondered: "Senior Brother, my cultivation technique is special, and my goal is to forge an immortal foundation beyond Grade Six, even above Grade Seven!"

"I’m aiming for Grade Nine!"

Grade Twelve is too earth-shattering.

If he said that aloud, nobody would believe it.

Grade Nine is more than enough.

You know, even Yang Yuan of the Immortal Pride List only had a Grade Seven immortal foundation!

"NINE???"

Yi Que’s mouth gaped, speechless for a long time.

He thought about Xu Yang’s strength.

With mere First-Grade Immortal Soldier cultivation, his formidable power all came from his overwhelming foundation.

Grade Nine, though outrageous, was not impossible!

If Junior Brother truly forged a Grade Nine immortal foundation... Immortal Pride List?

Yi Que licked his lips and silently calculated; Yang Yuan was only Grade Seven, Liou Xueyan of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace was also Grade Seven.

Even those ranked higher than them on the Central Continent’s Immortal Pride List are Grade Eight!

"Junior Brother, be honest—do you have confidence?"

Yi Que stared intently at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang replied in a deep voice: "As long as the resources are sufficient, I have seventy percent certainty!"

Seventy percent is actually an understatement.

With enough resources, it’s ninety-nine percent!

Grade Twelve immortal foundation!

Bam!

Yi Que slapped his palm on the table, scaring Xu Yang out of his wits.

He handed the Storage Ring to Xu Yang, then probed inside his own storage ring, eventually pulling out a millstone-sized morsel of black immortal jade.

"This immortal jade—tch."

Xu Yang couldn’t help but gasp, his eyes full of awe.

The aura from the immortal jade was utterly astounding, making him feel an invisible pressure.

At the very least you need to be at middle or late stage True Immortal to absorb and refine it.

"This is Black Fire Ink Jade bred from the earth veins of our Black Fire Immortal Mountain; the power inside the immortal jade is fierce and vast, only a peak middle-stage True Immortal at minimum can withstand refining it."

"Such a big chunk—will it last you a while?"

Yi Que’s eyes gleamed brightly at Xu Yang.

Gulp!

Xu Yang swallowed hard, nodding nonstop: "Enough, that’ll definitely last over a month."

Over a month?

Yi Que’s hands trembled slightly.

Junior Brother, you really don’t stop until you’ve shocked people senseless.

Such a massive chunk, only last over a month?

"Take it."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Xu Yang took it without ceremony—he really needed it.

"Senior Brother, where did this immortal jade come from?"

"I only have this one, Junior Brother. If you want more, you’ll have to clear some trials."

Yi Que solemnly answered: "In the inner sect, there is a trial ground called Fire Fiend Cave, inside which gathers masses of fire fiends spawned by immortal fire, corrupting the primordial spirit; entering and clearing the stages can earn immortal jade as a reward. The real purpose is to temper the primordial spirit, so you can withstand even mightier immortal fire."

"This piece of immortal jade counts as medium in there—there are even greater, more astonishing ones."

"If you’re keen, you can always try it later, no rush for now!"

Xu Yang’s eyes lit up—he was more than interested.

"Alright. For now, focus on cultivation, don’t worry about anything else. The new disciples’ tournament is priority."

"I’ll head out now. If you need anything, send me a message with the Immortal Command."

Yi Que waved his hand and swiftly left.

Xu Yang stroked the immortal jade, drooling endlessly.

Second Senior Brother really is great.

Moments later, he picked up the Storage Ring and peered inside—it really was packed full.
