Chapter 470: Three Nascent Soul Immortals Overwhelm Green Pill Valley

"Continue!"

The mocking voice echoed through the inner valley of the Five Peaks, like the clash of metal and iron, reverberating endlessly.

The Green Pill Valley cultivators led by Tao Wan were all on high alert.

The Mountain Defense Array had been activated to its maximum capacity.

However, the owner of the nine-story palace within was completely unconcerned.

Outside the palace, several figures stood tall, each adorned in exquisite attire, exuding an extraordinary aura.

These were all disciples of Heaven Sail City, primarily at the Refinement Stage, with a considerable number of Foundation Establishment Cultivators among them.

Among them, three Golden Core Cultivators discreetly spread their Spirit Perception, vigilant of their surroundings.

The Dragon Spring Elder, who had been traveling outside for many years, possessed exceptional insight. In just a moment, he recognized the eldest among the three.

"Palace Master, it's Master Hu Yan Zhuo!"

Tao Wan's face darkened. She, too, was familiar with the renowned Artificer Master.

Hu Yan Zhuo!

A Mid-stage Golden Core Cultivator!

Known for his passion for researching and crafting new-style magical tools and artifacts.

Countless exquisite artifacts and top-grade artifacts had emerged from his hands.

Later, many black markets and underground auctions would use his name to inflate the prices of magical tools and artifacts.

Any artifact without a clear origin would be attributed to "Master Hu Yan Zhuo of Heaven Sail City."

It could be said that in this generation of Heaven Sail City, while Hu Yan Zhuo might not have the highest cultivation realm or the strongest combat power, he undoubtedly had the greatest fame!

Naturally, such a person would have a master.

Connecting this to the mocking voice from earlier, Tao Wan had a startling guess.

"Could the visitor be Master Hu Yan Zhuo's master, Tian Yi Zi?"

It was like shooting an arrow and then drawing the target; her guess was spot-on.

The other Golden Core Cultivators of Green Pill Valley, having the same guess, now looked at the nine-story palace with certainty.

Indeed, it matched the rumors about Tian Yi Zi, one of the three Nascent Soul Immortals of Heaven Sail City.

He was known for his love of extravagance and grand displays.

Setting aside all else, the nine-story palace he rode in was the renowned Wind Thunder Pavilion!

It contained the power of wind and thunder, and when fully unleashed, its speed surpassed the imagination of ordinary cultivators.

Its grade was also extraordinary, reaching the level of a Superior Artifact.

A Superior Artifact!

In any major sect, it would undoubtedly be a sect-protecting treasure.

Yet, Tian Yi Zi merely used it as a means of transportation, entering and exiting his palace.

Such a grand display was rare in the Eastern Six Realms!

"Our Mountain Defense Array might be able to withstand attacks from Nascent Soul Immortals, but if they attack with full force, I fear it won't last even a breath."

Someone beside her wailed.

Tao Wan's heart sank.

Green Pill Valley was not renowned for its array formations, and their Mountain Defense Array was quite ordinary.

Over the past few centuries, to maintain the layout of the Five Peaks Sheltered Valley, they rarely invited famous array masters from the outside to reinforce their arrays.

The last time the Jade Cauldron Sword Sect attacked, the Late-stage Golden Core Elder, Yangguang, had merely borrowed a sword from Jade Cauldron Immortal and severed Green Pill Valley's entrance at Mount Yuanhua.

If Tian Yi Zi were to make a move...

Just as she was about to grit her teeth and negotiate, a crane's cry echoed through the heavens.

"Hmm?"

Inside the Wind Thunder Pavilion, there was a soft exclamation.

Then, Tian Yi Zi's mocking voice sounded again.

"Palace Master Tao, it seems your Green Pill Valley has another guest! Tsk tsk, and not just one!"

Tao Wan's face paled.

She looked up and saw white feathers fluttering in the sky.

Four white cranes with long necks and graceful bodies pulled a massive cloud chariot from the east.

This distinctive mode of transportation made it clear to everyone who the visitor was.

When the cloud chariot stopped outside Green Pill Valley, the curtains parted, and a young man stepped out.

He appeared extremely young, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

His thick eyebrows slanted into his temples, and his jet-black hair was tied high in a black jade crown. His handsome face was so perfect that it seemed impossible to find any flaws.

Especially his eyes, with thin eyeliner and shimmering irises, resembled peach blossoms. His slightly upturned lips gave the impression of blooming flowers in spring and summer, captivating the hearts of all who saw him.

He was exceptionally handsome, with a carefree and unrestrained air.

Yet, beneath his dignified demeanor, there was a hint of mischievousness.

"It's him! Harmony Sect's Yun He Zhen Ren!"

Tao Wan trembled, her heart sinking into an abyss of despair.

Especially!

If she hadn't misseen, when the curtains parted, there was also a female cultivator leaning against a soft couch inside the cloud chariot.

Could it be that Yun He Zhen Ren's Dao companion, the legendary Demon Crane Sovereign, had also come?

Yun He Zhen Ren stood atop the cloud chariot, glancing first at the trembling Tao Wan and then at the nine-story Wind Thunder Pavilion beside her.

"Why have you stopped here, Brother Tian Yi?"

Tian Yi Zi chuckled lightly, "Well, it seems the owner doesn't welcome us uninvited guests!"

Yun He Zhen Ren's expression remained calm, "We are not uninvited guests but merely visitors. What do you think, Palace Master Tao?"

Tao Wan opened her mouth to speak, but under the immense pressure, she couldn't find the words.

Not just her.

Even the Mountain Defense Array covering Green Pill Valley trembled slightly, rippling with waves.

At that moment, Qing Danzi's voice, mature beyond his years, slowly echoed.

"Please welcome the three seniors into the valley."

Hearing this, Tao Wan felt a great burden lifted.

She immediately ordered the Mountain Defense Array to be deactivated and welcomed both parties into the valley.

Only after Tian Yi Zi and Yun He Zhen Ren entered the Inner Core Valley did Tao Wan finally breathe a sigh of relief.

A single Nascent Soul Immortal had already overwhelmed Green Pill Valley.

With three Nascent Soul Immortals arriving together, they were completely defenseless.

But seeing the nine-story Wind Thunder Pavilion and the white crane cloud chariot boldly stopping on Mount Yuanhua and Dragon Head Peak, respectively, a surge of shame and anger rose within her.

"What did I just do?"

"As the sect leader, even if there's a difference in cultivation, one shouldn't lose their composure like that."

"No matter how this tribulation turns out for the sect, how will others view me after today's display?"

But she was overthinking it.

Under the pressure of the three Grand Immortals, the tens of thousands of disciples in Qingdan Valley were all as silent as cicadas in winter, and no one seemed to be doing any better.

Who would pay attention to Tao Wan, who was facing the pressure of the three? But someone did notice.

It was Luo Chen, the only outsider in Qingdan Valley.

He shook his head inwardly.

The Tao Wan he had seen before was always proud and noble. Even if she didn't act arrogantly, she at least knew when to advance and retreat.

But today's performance...

"Compared to my own daughter, she's not as good."

"Perhaps this is the drawback of being a sect disciple. They gain honor from their sect, but also shame. When faced with an enemy that the entire sect cannot resist, all composure vanishes instantly."

"During the Danxia Defense, facing enemies several times the strength of the Luo Tian Alliance, and with a powerful Mid-stage Golden Core cultivator like Qin Tai Ran leading them, my daughter never retreated a step and calmly commanded her forces to fight."

"With such a comparison, the difference between the two is obvious."

Of course, Luo Chen didn't look down on Tao Wan either.

After all, he hadn't faced a Primordial Spirit Immortal directly, and he didn't know the pressure of being watched by Yun He Zhen Ren and Tian Yi Zi.

"But from their attitudes, they seem to be here to intimidate, but they probably won't resort to violence. Their purpose..."

Luo Chen slowly raised his gaze.

Qing Danzi's youthful figure seemed to have aged even more, perhaps due to days of failed alchemy attempts, the approaching end of his lifespan, or the arrival of the three Primordial Spirit Immortals.

The real pressure was actually on Qing Danzi, the Grand Elder of Qingdan Valley!

"Continue!"

"This time, we'll refine seven pills together!"

Upon hearing this, all the alchemists were astonished.

Refining seven pills together meant using up all the remaining raw materials, refining them, and then crafting the Incarnation Pill.

Wouldn't this make failure more likely? But under Qing Danzi's cold gaze, the surprised alchemists gradually calmed their minds and focused on their own tasks.

Luo Chen thought to himself, "The greater the pressure, the greater the motivation. Qing Danzi is taking a bold gamble, or perhaps, through his previous failures, he has gained the confidence to succeed?"

...

The atmosphere in Qingdan Valley was oppressively heavy, like condensed water.

Only in the Inner Core Valley, where thirty Earth Fires were harnessed, was the atmosphere even more fervent than before.

Two powerful Divine Perceptions intertwined in the air.

They belonged to Tian Yi Zi and Yun He Zhen Ren, two Nascent Soul Period cultivators communicating.

"It's no wonder it's known as the Land of Phoenix's Demise! It's rare to see a Sourceless Flame in this domain, and yet within this small sect, there are four of them!"

"Is Tian Yi Zi interested?"

"Hehe, my Heaven Sail City doesn't lack these low-tier Sourceless Flames."

"Yun He Zhen Ren is mistaken. After all, your sect's Hundred Flow True Flame is already a Fifth Tier, so why would you be interested in these low-tier flames... Eh, that young man!"

Yun He Zhen Ren's gaze paused, landing on the back of a man in a black bamboo and white robe.

If his eyes didn't deceive him, the Primordial True Flame controlled by that young man had already reached the Fourth Tier.

Moreover, this young man didn't seem to be a disciple of Qingdan Valley.

"That's the Flourish Wither Fire, a Fourth Tier Sourceless Flame that the Flame Alliance cultivated for three hundred years using the Ghost Valley Soul Snatching method. Are you interested, Yun He Zhen Ren?"

Tian Yi Zi's light laughter echoed.

Yun He Zhen Ren's eyes flickered, not surprised by Tian Yi Zi's keen recognition of the flame's origin.

The covert actions of Heaven Sail City against the Flame Alliance were clear to them as bystanders.

They were well aware of Heaven Sail City's intentions.

In the past, the Eastern Six Realms had an unspoken understanding, if not a united front.

Each sect had its primary expertise and didn't encroach too much on others' businesses.

Medicine King Sect excelled in alchemy, so they dominated the pill business in the six realms.

Divine Talisman Sect was skilled in talisman crafting, so they controlled the talisman business in the six realms.

Of course, Heaven Sail City, the best at forging artifacts, also dominated the magical treasure business in the six realms.

But they encountered an anomaly in the form of Jade Cauldron Domain.

Jade Cauldron Sword Sect, skilled in combat but not management, had only established their domain a few hundred years ago. As a result, they struggled to control the internal Golden Core sects.

The Sword Sect had its own agenda and deliberately allowed internal sects like the Flame Alliance and Qingdan Valley to grow.

The Flame Alliance, in particular, had over a dozen Golden Core cultivators and was diligently cultivating a Fourth Tier Sourceless Flame, making them increasingly formidable in artifact crafting.

Before their destruction, they had almost started to suppress Heaven Sail City's magical treasure business.

In response, Heaven Sail City didn't resort to force but made frequent moves.

They utilized their sect's resources to flood Jade Cauldron Domain with inferior magical treasures, suppressing the Flame Alliance's high-end magical treasure business.

It was obvious that magical treasures beneficial to Golden Core cultivators wouldn't be sold for just a few tens of thousands of spirit stones.

In other realms, low-grade magical treasures started at a hundred thousand spirit stones.

The low prices in Jade Cauldron Domain were a result of Heaven Sail City's market manipulation.

Furthermore, Heaven Sail City incited Luoyun Sect to start a civil war, and during the chaos, they directly eliminated the Flame Alliance.

However, Luoyun Sect clearly had its own agenda.

They didn't completely eradicate the Flame Alliance, leaving them a chance to survive.

But they didn't expect Luo Chen to show no mercy, and Jade Cauldron Sword Sect completely turned a blind eye.

By now, the Expansion War had already begun, and the magical treasures and artifacts that Heaven Sail City had prepared for years were finally put to use.

Regardless of the outcome of this war, Heaven Sail City would reap substantial profits.

His thoughts drifted.

Yun He Zhenren watched Luo Chen's back, subconsciously stroking his chin.

The woman beside him suddenly spoke up.

"Aren't you planning to establish a sect and create your own path? This young man is said to be the renowned Dan Dust Master in the Jade Cauldron Domain, and his greatest reliance is just a Golden Core Sect."

"If you take him under your wing, you'll gain a capable assistant, and at the very least, you won't lack low-tier pills in the future."

Yun He Zhenren nodded slightly, "You understand me, my lady!"

He had indeed been thinking along those lines! However, the playful smile on Senior Tianyezi's face made him inexplicably uneasy.

Tentatively, he asked, "This young man seems extraordinary. With your sect's three Nascent Soul Immortals, you dominate a domain. Surely you can accommodate him, and you don't feel a bit tempted?"

In response to his probing, Tianyezi from the ninth layer of Wind Thunder Pavilion paused briefly.

Then, he said directly, "I advise you not to set your sights on him."

"Hmm?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try. But I fear that your newly established sect will face embarrassment even before its grand opening."

Yun He Zhenren's expression turned uncertain upon hearing these words.

Could Dan Dust Master have some powerful backer that he was unaware of?

Perhaps he should investigate this young man thoroughly.

"Don't overthink it. Focus on Qing Danzi instead! If he truly refines the Incarnation Pill, you and I will each get a few to distribute to our disciples for their Nascent Soul formation. That's the right path."

Hearing this, Yun He Zhenren couldn't help but agree.

His purpose for coming to Green Pill Valley was the Incarnation Pill! With Luoyun Sect's momentum, he could break away from Harmony Sect, choose another domain, and establish his own sect.

This was the intention of the Grand Elder of the sect, as well as his own and his wife's plan.

If he could use the Incarnation Pill to cultivate a Nascent Soul cultivator, the pressure he would face in the new domain would be greatly reduced.

But...

"Can Qing Danzi succeed?"

He gazed at him with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Compared to Tianyezi, though they were fellow cultivators, he had achieved the Nascent Soul stage later.

In fact, Qing Danzi was of the same generation as him.

He was very familiar with Qing Danzi's alchemy skills.

Very impressive!

But to refine a fourth-rank pill, and the most difficult Boundary-Breaking Pill at that, through transcendent alchemy, it might be beyond his capabilities.

With the resources of Green Pill Valley at his disposal, how much would his chances of success increase?

As Yun He Zhenren, Tianyezi, and the other cultivators watched with anticipation, the alchemy process in Inner Core Valley continued to progress.

Time passed slowly.

This time, it seemed particularly long.

In a daze, ten days flew by in the blink of an eye.

On this day, the wind howled, clouds raced, thunder roared, and heavy rain poured down in the oppressive atmosphere.

Suddenly, a low, muffled shout sounded, like thunder exploding.

"If not now, then when?"

Qing Danzi swept his wide sleeves, and the pill fire blazed intensely.

The mother cauldron in front of him spun rapidly, emitting a deep hum in mid-air.

Below him, Luo Chen and the other four withdrew their Primordial True Flames, and with their spirits flagging, they knelt on the ground.

They had reached the critical moment of pill formation.

Would they succeed this time?

Luo Chen stared up, letting the raindrops wet his face.

Suddenly, a sense of danger he was familiar with rang in his mind.

"Something's wrong!"

"This is a sign of an exploding cauldron!"

His face changed slightly, and layers of blue light screens burst forth from his body, along with layers of white armor.

Just as he made these movements.

A voice filled with misery echoed from the sky.

"Haha..."

The miserable laughter had barely lasted a moment when a terrifying spiritual energy burst forth.

Amidst such terrifying power, Qing Danzi appeared to be in a state of frenzy, neither advancing nor retreating, with one hand pressed against the mother cauldron.

Following his action.

The bursting spiritual energy, following the connection of the Qingdan Formation Array, continued to flow downward.

Crimson Cauldron Elder, Flying Cloud Elder, Dan Yangzi, Qing Danzi, and Luo Chen were directly in the line of fire! The other four didn't hesitate and immediately used their powers to protect the son cauldrons.

Luo Chen clenched his teeth and continuously cast defensive spells.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The continuous muffled explosions formed a sad song in Inner Core Valley.

At some point.

The muffled sounds stopped.

Qing Danzi, no longer in his youthful form but with white hair, looked down at the scene in Inner Core Valley with a shaking head.

Blood trickled from Crimson Cauldron Elder's mouth, and Flying Cloud Elder's face turned pale.

Qing Yunzi was enveloped in green-black flames, which didn't seem to extinguish even in the heavy rain, an external sign of the Primordial True Flame running amok.

Dan Yangzi lay unconscious.

Luo Chen knelt on the ground, his ink bamboo white robe torn to pieces, leaving only the white armor standing upright.

Additionally.

Thirty second-tier alchemists were affected, with twenty-one of them perishing on the spot, leaving only nine survivors.

Not only that, but the son cauldrons exploded, and even one of the five son cauldrons of the low-grade magical treasure level was shattered.

He opened his mouth, and liquid slid down his face, whether it was rainwater or tears, he didn't know.

"At least the mother cauldron was preserved!"

As he muttered.

The ninth layer of Wind Thunder Pavilion slowly flew away from Green Pill Valley.

The white crane cloud chariot also changed direction, no longer lingering in Green Pill Valley.

Qing Danzi watched this scene, his smile uglier than tears.

"Heh... The sect was also preserved."
