Chapter 320: Seclusion Again

Not long after Deacon Gong and his companions left Ji Yang’s tower, they quickly heard this news.

Everyone sighed upon hearing it:

"This young man not only has an extremely high talent but also works so hard! It truly makes me feel ashamed!"

"I am no match for this junior brother Feng!"

Several deacons expressed their admiration.

Perhaps in the near future, Alchemy Peak would see another master alchemist arise.

This would be a blessing for the Heaven Demon Sect!

Even though they wished to keep pace with Ji Yang, they couldn’t help but shake their heads when they thought about spending years in the Alchemy Room.

Forget it; they had more important matters to attend to.

For example, establishing rules to encourage other disciples to strive toward this junior brother Feng.

They exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

This was a good idea, and they immediately began to plan, hoping to implement it in Alchemy Peak by next month!

Perhaps the lack of diligence among the disciples was why there was a discontinuity in skills at the Alchemy Peak.

Inside the Alchemy Room, Ji Yang remained unaware of the happenings outside. At that moment, he had already embarked on a new path of pill refinement.

Since Ji Yang required many spiritual plants, even Alchemy Peak needed some time to gather and search for them, so only a portion of the necessary plants had been delivered.

The first batch brought to him included materials for refining the Stabilizing Spirit Pill.

Ji Yang didn’t hesitate and immediately began refining the Stabilizing Spirit Pill.

This type of pill is used to restore a cultivator’s internal magic power and is very effective for high-level cultivators.

Ji Yang took out his Seven Star Dan Furnace and started the refinement process.

Although the Alchemy Room had a skylight, he could not harness the power of the stars until night fell.

Since this was Ji Yang’s first time refining the pill, despite having his unique methods, he encountered several failures.

However, through summarizing the experiences from these failures, Ji Yang quickly succeeded in refining the finished Stabilizing Spirit Pill.

With the success of the first furnace, the success rate of the subsequent batches stabilized significantly.

His cultivation points rapidly began to increase.

What delighted Ji Yang was that he produced more Stabilizing Spirit Pills compared to the Dropping Dew Pills.

In just one furnace, he already achieved three or four successful pills.

This meant that his cultivation points would increase more quickly, and the threshold for gaining points from this type of pill was easier to reach. However, this was a good thing for Ji Yang, as it saved him more time.

As Ji Yang devoted himself to refining pills without rest, time swiftly passed by!

…

"Miss, we have found out that Xiaodie is a pawn sent by the Four Symbols Sect to infiltrate us! She is now being held in the dungeon by the Sect Leader!"

Upon hearing the response from the maid below, Ren Yuning’s brows furrowed tightly.

Although she lacked experience, she quickly sensed that there was an unusual reason behind the pursuit by those two individuals.

So upon returning, she immediately informed her father.

As the Sect Leader of the Heaven Demon Sect, Ren Zizai lived up to his title and soon gathered the relevant information.

Once he learned that it was the doing of the Four Symbols Sect, Ren Zizai did not elaborate further and simply instructed Ren Yuning not to go out!

Seeing that her father did not want to explain the reasons, Ren Yuning felt helpless.

The Four Symbols Sect was one of the six demonic sects. Although their overall strength was not on par with the current Heaven Demon Sect, the Four Symbols Sect was thriving, and talented disciples were emerging one after another.

Perhaps this was why they entertained other ambitions.

For instance, to take the leading position among the six demonic sects.

However, there were many matters involved, and with Ren Yuning’s current knowledge, she couldn’t analyze everything fully.

All of this was merely her conjecture.

Ren Yuning had hoped to investigate and achieve some merits to show her father.

However, after Ren Zizai’s stern warning, Ren Yuning had no choice but to give up!

Her face was filled with displeasure.

Ji Yang also hadn’t been captured, and she had lost quite a few magical tools. Moreover, she was pursued this time; if she had not brought an Ancient magical tool with her, she would have been in real danger.

Thinking about all these unpleasant matters, Ren Yuning silently clenched her fist!

These people better not get caught by her; otherwise, she would surely not let them off easily!

The maid below felt uncertain and couldn’t find the right words to comfort her, so she tried to change the subject.

However, the topic the maid brought up did not divert Ren Yuning’s attention.

But then, the maid’s eyes lit up, and she quickly spoke up:

"Miss, do you know that Feng Yu, who entered the sect with you some days ago?"

Hearing Feng Yu’s name, a spark of interest appeared in Ren Yuning’s eyes, and she immediately asked,

"What happened to Junior Brother Feng?"

Seeing that the miss was captivated, the maid proceeded to inform her about Ji Yang’s situation at Alchemy Peak.

Ren Yuning was greatly astonished after hearing this and said,

"Speaking of which, I haven’t visited Junior Brother Feng since returning to the sect. Why not go now?"

The maid smiled upon hearing this and quickly went out to prepare the spiritual boat.

…

Cultivation +1

Cultivation +1

At this time, Ji Yang was still focused on refining pills. After refining several batches of Stabilizing Spirit Pills, his proficiency in making this pill improved significantly, and his success rate rose sharply.

With the enhancement of ground fire and formations, along with the unique benefits of the Seven Star Dan Furnace at night, Ji Yang’s speed in refining Stabilizing Spirit Pills increased quite a bit.

Yet, it still took him ten days to completely finish the refining of the Stabilizing Spirit Pills.

When he reached the later batches of refining, as expected, he had hit the threshold for this pill and no longer gained cultivation points.

Fortunately, the necessary spiritual plants for the other two types of pills had been delivered, so Ji Yang decided to stop refining the Stabilizing Spirit Pill and began to refine the Returning Void Pill instead.

This pill is used to enhance magical power, and its effect is quite similar to that of the Dropping Dew Pill, but the difficulty of making the Returning Void Pill is slightly higher.

During the first few batches, due to lacking experience, he had failed, but as the saying goes, "practice makes perfect," Ji Yang quickly regained his rhythm.

Outside the Alchemy Room at the peak, the spiritual boat carrying Ren Yuning arrived at Ji Yang’s tower.

"Is Junior Brother Feng still refining pills?"

Ren Yuning sighed as she looked at the maid beside her.

"Hmph! Miss, this person really lacks appreciation. Even though you have come, he still does not come out to greet you and is busy refining pills!"

"I’ll go get the formation token from the Alchemy Peak deacon and bring him out!" the maid said angrily.

To her surprise, Ren Yuning waved her hand, saying,

"Forget it, let’s not disturb Junior Brother Feng while he is refining pills. We can wait for him to finish his seclusion and then come back!"

The maid was astonished at this but nodded slightly, deciding in her heart to teach Ji Yang a lesson once he emerged from his seclusion.

Word of Ren Yuning’s visit to look for Ji Yang quickly spread among the other disciples of the sect.

Upon hearing the news, the other disciples were deeply angered, wondering what kind of charm this person had that made Senior Sister Ning unable to forget him.

Some disciples immediately wanted to challenge Ji Yang again at Alchemy Peak.

However, they were stopped by the Alchemy Peak deacon before they even reached the top.

After all, the top of Alchemy Peak was not a place ordinary disciples could enter!

At this point, the name "Feng Yu" also became known to more disciples.

Especially after learning about his impressive skills in pill refinement, many cultivators wanted to seek Ji Yang’s help in making pills.
