"

"How is the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land involved in this?"

If you're going to put on a show, do it properly.

At this moment, it's natural to pretend ignorance.

"Elder Lu, you forgot? The Founding Patriarch of the Moon Embrace Sect's Dao Companion was once the Holy Maiden of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land. Although they later separated, and that Holy Maiden mysteriously disappeared, it seems that some of her 'remaining influence' is still there."

"So, it seems the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land wants to protect the last remaining bloodline of the Moon Embrace Sect."

"But the Holy Land is too powerful, and considering the Moon Embrace Sect is already at its last breath, they sold this face to the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land."

"..."

Elder Lu frowned slightly: "This... doesn't seem right?"

"We understand this principle, so..." Ji Hao Yue lowered her voice: "On the surface, we won't provoke them, but behind the scenes, we haven't stopped driving wolves to devour tigers."

"For example, the disciples of the Moon Embrace Sect, those with exceptional talent, once they leave, will meet their end, never to return."

"It's just that the Holy Land's authority is too powerful, and no one dares to take things to the extreme. This is also why the Moon Embrace Sect has been barely surviving until now."

"I thought that at this point, they wouldn't need much time to self-destruct, but I never expected that a few years ago, the Moon Embrace Sect would rise from the ashes. This is why it re-entered our sect's radar and why we agreed to the Xi Men family's request."

"In any case, Elder Lu, you don't need to worry too much about this."

"Regarding the Xi Men family, there's absolutely no need for concern."

"I understand!"

Elder Lu had a sudden realization: "In that case, I'm relieved."

"I just never expected there to be so many twists and turns!"

Did he really not expect it? In fact, Elder Lu, or rather, Lin Fan, had guessed most of it during his first few days after crossing over.

He couldn't guess the specifics, of course.

But in terms of the actual operation, he had guessed it eight or nine out of ten.

After all, his previous life's memories were too clear!

When he first crossed over, the Moon Embrace Sect still had dozens of disciples.

And among them were several with even better talent than him, and even a few 'Shishu' who were doing quite well.

But gradually, they all died.

They all died outside!

Some went missing while hunting in the wild, leaving no trace.

Some were killed by others, or fell prey to demonic beasts.

In any case, not a single one returned.

This was why, in the years before his crossing over, the Moon Embrace Sect faced such difficulty, and even the five elders had thoughts of giving up.

This was why they let him take on the role of the sect master.

At the time, Lin Fan wondered how such a coincidence could occur.

How could every disciple who left never return? Even a sect plagued by enemies shouldn't be so unlucky.

He couldn't understand why, if they were enemies, they didn't just destroy the sect outright. At first, he thought the enemies weren't strong enough and feared the five elders, so they didn't dare to act recklessly.

Or perhaps the enemies were psychologically twisted, seeking the pleasure of tormenting others, wanting to let the Moon Embrace Sect experience 'pain' by killing them one by one, until the last one, and then reveal themselves to crush their hopes. Later, as he learned more, he realized it was because the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land was protecting them.

And it was only at this moment that he finally confirmed it was indeed the damn Bright Moon Sect!

Since that's the case, I must thoroughly avenge these grudges~

"Forget it, as the Sect Master said, this matter has no direct connection to me, so I won't think about it anymore.

Today, on his first day in Bright Moon Sect, Gu Qingyun was in a good mood, so he decided to... do this.

"Ruyu, go and get some materials."

"I'll gift each of you here with a furnace of pills."

It was just a moment's thought.

The surroundings fell into silence.

The sound of everyone's breathing was clearly audible.

One furnace per person?!

Brilliant!!!

Is this the style of a Great Alchemy Master?

Invincible!

Explosive!

So cool!

"Ruyu!" Ji Hao Yue was so excited that she had to pinch her thigh to maintain her composure. "Why aren't you going yet?"

"Take more materials for the fifth to eighth-rank pills!"

"Take more materials, don't just give one to each person, that's too stingy. Our sect isn't lacking!"

"Yes, yes, take more materials." Great Elder shouted, "In my opinion, just take them all! It's a waste to give them to other pill refiners in our sect!"

Everyone: "..."

Damn, you're not giving any face with these words, right? But after a moment's thought, it's true.

At least from this perspective, the other pill refiners in the sect are indeed lacking by more than just a bit.

They have eaten seventh-rank pills before.

But only occasionally, one or two at most.

Above seventh-rank?

That's even rarer, like a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn. But this Lu Ming, up until now, the lowest rank of pills he has refined is seventh-rank!!!

Thinking about it, giving the materials to other pill refiners would indeed be a waste.

But things can't be done this way.

Giving all the materials to Lu Ming, what about our other pill refiners? Lu Ming is currently only a guest advisor, it's not right to completely neglect our own pill refiners for a guest, even if this guest is exceptional, and his pills are indeed 'fragrant'.

"Hmm? That's not right!"

But soon, they realized.

"Damn it, Gu Qingyun, this shameless old man!"

"He knows better than anyone that our sect will never give all the materials to Elder Lu! He's saying this just to curry favor with Elder Lu!"

"Deceitful!"

"So shameless."

"Sigh! Why didn't I think of this earlier?"

"This old man, with his thick eyebrows and big eyes, always acting so dignified, I thought he had high morals, but I never expected him to have such a side, it's truly... Unacceptable!"

"Pfft!"

The elders cursed inwardly.

Wen Ruyu gracefully bowed and immediately ran to get the pill refining materials.

In the corner, Tang Wu's expression finally improved.

"After all, there are benefits."

"A furnace of pills, I wonder what rank they are?"

"When a Great Alchemy Master like this takes action, it's naturally the most suitable for you all." Ice Emperor said with a hint of surprise, "If I'm not mistaken, they should be refined according to your respective cultivation realms."

"You're at the fifth realm, so he'll refine a furnace of Divine Insight Pills for you!"

"The sixth realm is the Life Decree Pill, the seventh realm is the Unifying Dao Pill, and the eighth realm is the Breaking Void Pill."

"And the quality should be no less than seventh-rank!"

"With a furnace of such pills, you won't need long to enter the sixth realm. Even without the third Soul Beast, your strength will soar, which is great news."

"If so, that's indeed great news."

Tang Wu's heart rejoiced.

But at the same time, his thoughts became more active: "This Lu Ming, to gain the trust of Bright Moon Sect, he's pretending to have a good relationship with me..."

"If I can succeed."

"In the future, pills will no longer be lacking."

Tang Wu's eyes flashed: "Foster Father, you must help me with this."

Ice Emperor: "..."

Is it too late to get off this pirate ship now?

He secretly smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, how could I not help you?"

······

Soon, Wen Ruyu returned.

The storage ring was filled with various spirit herbs.

Looking at the herbs, Lu Ming's heart was filled with admiration for their depth: "These materials, even the Liu family couldn't provide them, no matter how much they've been trading recently, their foundation is still far inferior to Bright Moon Sect."

"But that's right."

"One is a mid-tier second-rate, the other is top-tier first-rate, the gap is natural."

"But~"

"Hey."

"Some of these materials will fall into the hands of our Moon Embrace Sect."

He smirked.

Then, Lu Ming started refining pills.

Compete with me?

A joke!

This is called not letting go of the child to catch the wolf.

Lu Ming already had a complete plan in mind, and the first step was to let them taste the sweetness!

The people from Bright Moon Sect present included their sect master, the top-ranking elders, the saint son, the holy maiden, and the top ten disciples.

You could say that all the important figures of Bright Moon Sect, past and present, were gathered here!

As long as they taste the sweetness, the following steps would be extremely easy~

"So, the lowest rank should be seventh-rank."

"Occasionally refine a furnace or two of eighth-rank pills to prove myself."

"As for efficiency..."

"It should be increased."

Lu Ming's eyes flashed: "Let them further understand my importance."

After that.

Lu Ming started refining pills.

One furnace per person!

Starting with the sect master, Ji Hao Yue.

He was an eighth-realm cultivator, and he obtained three seventh-rank Breaking Void Pills, almost smiling crookedly.

Next was Gu Qingyun, also with seventh-rank pills.

Then the second elder, the third elder...

But these core figures only received seventh-rank pills.

For the disciples, eighth-rank pills started to appear.

This was all part of Lu Ming's deliberate plan.

The Elders were at least at the Seventh Stage, or even the Eighth Stage.

Even a minor increase in their strength would result in a significant boost to their combat power, so a slight difference in pill quality was acceptable.

However, the same didn't apply to the disciples.

Even if it were Lu Zhicai and Wen Ruyu, the Saint Son and Holy Maiden, Lu Ming was unafraid.

After all, in this dazzling Golden Age, Heaven's Pride...

Were usually just background characters and stepping stones.

Even if he gave them an eighth-rank pill, it wouldn't change the overall situation, so he might as well use them to solidify his reputation as a Great Alchemy Master.

Lu Ming even intentionally ruined a few batches.

Otherwise, a hundred percent success rate would be too defying of the heavens.

But even with Lu Ming's deliberate actions, the Bright Moon Sect members were still amazed beyond belief.

After several days, Lu Ming handed a ninth-rank Finger Profound Pill to Tang Wu, saying with a smile, "Brother Tang, it seems we're both lucky. It's a ninth-rank pill."

"Thank you, Brother Lu."

Tang Wu was overjoyed!

"Not at all," Lu Ming smiled. "Also, everyone, this wasn't intentional. It's just a coincidence."

Everyone quickly shook their heads.

"Of course, we wouldn't think that," they said.

"Pill refinement is influenced by many factors, and quality differences are quite common."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Lu Ming nodded slightly.

"In that case, I'm relieved," he said, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Gu Qingyun, who had been observing the entire time, spoke up, his eyes sharper than anyone else's.

"Everyone, let's disperse for now!" he said, stepping forward.

"Elder Lu has traveled a long way, and without even a moment's rest, he's been refining pills for us one after another. Each of us has a high-quality pill, and he must be exhausted. Let's not disturb him further!"

"Indeed!"

Ji Hao Yue realized the situation and waved her hand, "Everyone, go back!"

"Yes!"

"Elder Lu, you should rest first!"

"Here's my communication talisman..."

"This is mine."

"My communication talisman, please accept it."

"In the future, if you need anything, just ask. I won't refuse!"

"I feel the same way, so I won't disturb you further..."

Soon after, Lu Ming had collected dozens of communication talismans, and everyone took their leave.

One reason was that Lu Ming indeed looked exhausted and needed rest.

The other reason was...

With such high-quality pills in hand, the sweet aroma made their mouths water. If not for the unsuitable timing and location, they would have already consumed the pills and begun cultivating.

Now that they could return, they hurried as fast as they could.

...

Finally, the Immortal Mansion became quiet.

Lu Ming waved his hand, setting up a spell, and the Dazzling Cloud Immortal Cauldron, the size of a walnut, glowed with a mysterious light.

"Perfect, just as I thought," he said.

"First, prove myself and give them a taste of success. Then, it's time to find a way to slack off."

"While slacking off, I'll also cause some trouble for them."

"Like..."

"Starting with Tang Wu."

"After all, he has that kind of attribute, and it would be a waste not to take advantage of it."

Lu Ming chuckled.

In Tang Wu's eyes, Lu Ming's efforts to build a closer relationship with him must have an ulterior motive. Perhaps, it was to solidify his position as the Special Elder? In truth, he did have an ulterior motive.

But it wasn't for his own status.

Instead, it was to...

Shift the conflict.

When facing a stronger enemy and wanting to cause trouble, the best strategy is to shift the conflict! He couldn't help but think of his experiences on Earth.

Back then, he had just become a full-time UP main, and being a gaming UP main, he was naturally a homebody, only leaving his home for meals.

In the same building, there was a dog-keeping neighbor who was very unethical.

Every time he walked his dog, the dog would relieve itself in the elevator, and even worse, the neighbor never cleaned up!

The elevator stank, and no matter how much the cleaning auntie cleaned, it was useless. Several neighbors, including Lin Fan, had stepped in dog poop and urine.

Lin Fan was one of them.

However, the neighbor seemed to be a night owl, so Lin Fan never encountered him.

After stepping in dog poop, Lin Fan threw away his shoes in anger. He checked the surveillance footage to find the specific floor and knocked on every door to confront the neighbor.

The neighbor agreed verbally, promising to do better next time, but he continued his ways, and the elevator remained filthy with dog waste.

At that time, Lin Fan didn't have much money, but he was an experienced gamer. So, in a fit of anger, he wrote on an A4 paper: "Dog-keeping neighbor, please be civilized and clean up after your dog."

He then posted it in the elevator.

Other neighbors expressed their agreement and condemnation on the paper.

The dog-keeping neighbor ignored them.

But this was just the beginning.

The next day, Lin Fan used a red pen to write even more arrogant words: "My dog can poop wherever it wants. What are you going to do about it? Bunch of stupid idiots!"

"Stupid poor idiots!"

"If you have the guts, come and fight me!"

The red pen made the words stand out.

The font was also arrogant.

And the content was even more arrogant!

That day, the dog-keeping neighbor was charged by the other neighbors.

During the conflict, he seemed to have lost a tooth.

But Lin Fan never showed his face again, as the saying goes, concealing achievements and fame.

Now, although they were in different worlds and facing different situations, the same strategy could still be applied and implemented.

However, using a piece of paper was no longer feasible.

But with pills...

He should have an eighty-percent chance of success.
