Celestial Refining Divine Scripture

Soon, everyone arrived outside a row of small buildings.

Each building was forged from a special silvery-white material, with the edges hidden among ancient, peculiar trees draped in silver and ice sculptures, creating a wondrous scene.

"These ones are all empty. Everyone can pick any one they like—just hang up your name plate."

"Thanks for the trouble, Mr. Li and Miss Zhao."

"By the way, have the folks from Hongtian Guiyuan Sect arrived?"

"They’ve arrived."

"They’re all at the martial arts arena."

"Miss Liou is there too?"

Miss Liou, of course, was Liou Xueyan.

Mentioning Liou Xueyan, Li Qingtian appeared rather proud as he said, "Mr. Li didn’t go. She’s in seclusion, preparing for the grand event in three days."

"Oh?"

Ji Hong’s gaze flickered as he casually asked, "What sort of grand event might that be?"

Li Qingtian smiled mysteriously. "You’ll all know when the time comes."

Everyone exchanged a glance—damn, tight-lipped, no way anything was coming out of him.

"There’s nothing much to rest up for. Why don’t we go check out the martial arts arena?" Yang Yuan suggested.

"Sure!"

"No objections here."

"Let’s go, time to watch the fun."

"Those Hongtian Guiyuan Sect guys are pretty damn fast."

...

Xu Yang had no objections to this either.

Coming to Ice and Snow Immortal Palace—this was the perfect time to broaden his horizons.

Cultivation requires the balance of work and rest, after all.

So, everyone quickly picked their buildings, then followed Li Qingtian and Zhao Yuanyuan straight toward the martial arts arena.

Halfway there, Zhao Yuanyuan suddenly drifted to the back, looking over at Xu Yang.

"You seriously can refine the Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixir?"

No wonder she was doubtful.

After all, with First-Grade Immortal Soldier cultivation, it’s believable you could make a basic first-grade pill at best.

But the Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixir—that’s mid-to-high tier in the realm of first-rank Pill Masters.

Xu Yang shot a glance at Zhao Yuanyuan, replying lightly, "More or less."

More or less?

Zhao Yuanyuan’s heart skipped. She snorted inwardly, but a dazzling smile flitted across her face as she flipped her hand, producing a pill. "This is a Third-Turn True Immortal Elixir. Can you see any flaws?"

Xu Yang gave it a once-over, raising his eyebrows slightly. "The one who refined this did well enough. The medicinal strength is lacking, but they still managed to force a pill out. Though its effect is a bit weaker than a standard Third-Turn True Immortal Elixir, it’s the best you can do under limited conditions."

Zhao Yuanyuan’s eyes instantly widened.

Just one glance?

Could he really be capable of refining the Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixir?

After all, being able to discern the slight loss of efficacy inside due to lacking medicinal strength—that takes some keen damn sense and insight, doesn’t it?

Zhao Yuanyuan was so shocked she almost wanted Xu Yang to demonstrate alchemy then and there.

"Sorry. Not in the mood lately—not interested in alchemy!" Xu Yang’s casual line immediately killed any of Zhao Yuanyuan’s ideas.

The hell would I refine pills for you here?

And what would I get out of proving anything to you?

Zhao Yuanyuan’s face froze in irritation, but she couldn’t lose her temper. She grit her silver teeth and stomped off, fuming.

Zhou Tai sidled up and said, "That girl—looks and figure, both top-notch. Honestly, Ice and Snow Immortal Palace is packed with beauties, but you, man... Not even interested in a little in-depth exchange?"

"If I were a Pill Master, I’d never waste a chance like this! I’d find a secluded place and really show off—heh heh."

Watching Zhou Tai’s smile turn increasingly sleazy, Xu Yang twitched his mouth. "Not interested."

"..."

Zhou Tai’s eyes bulged. He glanced at Zhao Yuanyuan’s graceful figure in front, then back at Xu Yang, finally offering a big, admiring thumbs-up.

But after this round, Zhao Yuanyuan and Li Qingtian kept their mouths shut.

Soon, they reached the martial arts arena, where waves of wild energy and icy chill blasted straight at them.

Within the wide area, there were over a hundred crystalline ice battle stages.

At the moment, at least seven or eight stages already had people clashing on them.

A crowd of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace disciples in immaculate snow-white robes filled the area below, with a few purple-robed disciples mixed in.

The latter were undoubtedly disciples of the Hongtian Guiyuan Sect.

Their top disciples were Core Disciples, just like Black Fire Immortal Mountain’s Seed Disciples.

Whereas, Ice and Snow Immortal Palace’s top rank was True Disciple!

"Kick his ass!"

"Brother Qin, smash that Hongtian Sect bastard!"

"Damn it, acting all cocky in my Ice and Snow Immortal Palace?!"

"Heh, you Ice and Snow Immortal Palace chicks still just know how to talk shit? I never go easy on pretty faces—send another one up!"

"Damn satisfying! Your chicks from Ice and Snow Immortal Palace really know how to take a beating!"

...

The fierce clash was accompanied by some jaw-droppingly crude remarks.

Many of the female disciples of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace were furious and cursing up a storm.

The Hongtian Guiyuan Sect bunch weren’t polite at all either. Facing the beautiful female disciples, they showed not an ounce of mercy.

As they drew closer—

Xu Yang spotted a female disciple of Ice and Snow Immortal Palace, whose looks and bearing were nearly on par with Zhao Yuanyuan, being beaten so badly she rolled off the stage in disarray.

Still, a few Hongtian Guiyuan Sect disciples looked equally miserable!

"This is just..."

Xu Yang couldn’t help clicking his tongue.

The scene really was intense.

The insults flying around made it all the more exhilarating.

Especially the battles between those stunning female disciples—there was something quite different about that.

Zhou Tai’s eyes just about popped out of his head.

"No wonder it’s Hongtian Guiyuan Sect."

"They hit hard!"

"Way too rough and wild."

...

Li Qingtian and Zhao Yuanyuan didn’t look too pleased.

Sure, a few Hongtian Guiyuan Sect disciples were taken down, but their own side wasn’t doing any better.

They couldn’t look too smug about it.

Ji Hong’s fighting spirit surged—he immediately locked onto a duel about to end and shouted, "Luo Jiang, bullying women doesn’t take skill—dare fight me?"

"Ji Hong? You’re a bit late."

"Why wouldn’t I dare?"

"Down you go!"

The Guiyuan Sect Core Disciple named ’Luo Jiang’ bellowed, his aura rocketing upward, and he forcefully drove his opponent off the stage.

He crooked his finger at Ji Hong.

Swoosh!

Ji Hong dashed forward at once.

"Black Fire Immortal Mountain has arrived, too."

"That’s Ji Hong—he actually broke through to the Middle Stage of Celestial Immortal."

"It’s a pity Miss Liou isn’t here, otherwise they wouldn’t be so cocky."

"Black Fire Immortal Mountain’s Yang Yuan made it onto the Immortal Pride List—wonder how strong he is."

...

"Yang Yuan, come—let me see the prowess of an Immortal Pride List elite."

On the battle stage, Ice and Snow Immortal Palace’s True Disciple Qin Qian stared at Yang Yuan, fighting intent boiling over.

"As you wish!"

Yang Yuan replied with a relaxed smile, leaping up.

The atmosphere instantly grew even hotter.

It was pure sparring—challenging one another without restraint.

Especially now, with top disciples from all three sects gathered.

Anyone confident in their own strength rubbed their hands eagerly, hunting for their next target.

"Huh? I thought everyone here’s supposed to be Core, Seed, or True Disciples. Why does Black Fire Immortal Mountain bring a First-Grade Immortal Soldier cultivation?"

"A mere First-Grade Immortal Soldier, a Seed Disciple? Seriously, has Black Fire Immortal Mountain fallen that low?"

A cocky female voice rang out from the crowd.

Xu Yang turned to see a middle-stage True Immortal disciple, taller and sturdier than Zhao Yuanyuan, glaring at him with utter disdain.

Zhao Yuanyuan immediately piped up cheerfully, "Miss Lu, this junior is a Pill Master. Rumor says he can refine Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixirs."

"Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixir?"

The crowd instantly fell silent.

Next second, Miss Lu couldn’t help but throw her head back and laugh aloud.

"Hahaha, what a riot!"

"A puny First-Grade Immortal Soldier, daring to claim he can refine Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixirs? Do you even know what it takes to make a Sixth-Turn True Immortal Elixir? With those scrawny arms and legs, you probably can’t even move a cauldron."

Whoosh!

The arena exploded with laughter.

Both Ice and Snow Immortal Palace and Guiyuan Sect disciples burst out laughing together.
