<span style="font-weight:400">"Fortunately, my Dragon Soul Cauldron is sturdy enough. If it were an ordinary cauldron, it would have likely shattered under this energy impact," Gu He remarked, watching the cauldron only slightly tremble amidst the energy surge.
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing the cauldron''s resilience in the face of the energy impact, Gu He couldn''t help but silently admire.
<span style="font-weight:400">Outside the alchemy room, Mitertengshan paced back and forth in the corridor. He asionally stopped to look at the alchemy room, his face filled with worry and impatience.
<span style="font-weight:400">"We must seed," Mitertengshan silently prayed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Just then, he suddenly sensed a violent vibrationing from the alchemy room.
<span style="font-weight:400">Hearing this vibration, Mitertengshan''s expression changed.
<span style="font-weight:400">Could it be a failure?
<span style="font-weight:400">With this thought, Miteer Tengshan''s face became somewhat unsightly.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, shortly after, he sensed a strong energy fluctuation rapidly taking shape.
<span style="font-weight:400">Simultaneously, a rich medicinal fragrance wafted through the alchemy room and reached the outside.
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s a sess!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Feeling the intense energy fluctuations, Mitertengshan was momentarily stunned, and then his face quickly showed joy.
<span style="font-weight:400">But at that moment, the energy inside the alchemy room suddenly surged to a terrifying degree. Then, with a loud bang, a roughly half-foot-wide column of energy shot out directly from the alchemy room, pierced through the ceiling, and soared into the sky.
<span style="font-weight:400">Watching the column of light pierce through the ceiling and reach the sky, Mitertengshan was momentarily stunned, and then his face showed a look of astonishment.
<span style="font-weight:400">Was this the might of a sixth-grade pill being formed?
<span style="font-weight:400">The energy column rising above Miteer Auction House immediately caught the attention of many strong individuals in the imperial city.
<span style="font-weight:400">Many people looked surprised, and then quickly flew out of their houses. In less than a moment, many strong individuals had gathered outside Miterteng Auction House.
<span style="font-weight:400">As they watched from up close, some of the strong individuals finally recognized the origin of the light column, and exmations filled the air.
<span style="font-weight:400">"The light column is filled with a medicinal fragrance; it seems someone is refining pills inside that room."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Although high-grade pills can cause somemotion, unless it''s a seventh-grade pill, there''s rarely such a phenomenon. Could it be someone is trying to refine a seventh-grade pill?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Impossible. Themotion caused by a seventh-grade pill formation is much greater. It''s probably a rare high-grade pill among the sixth-grade pills."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Tsk tsk, any pill that can cause such a disturbance is definitely not ordinary. I wonder who the master alchemist inside is. Could it be Grandmaster Fama from the Alchemist Guild?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"Heh, Grandmaster Fama is only a peak fifth-grade alchemist. How could he have the ability to refine a sixth-grade pill like this?"
<span style="font-weight:400">As more and more strong individuals gathered around the tower, whispers and discussions became increasingly frequent. Some people who heard these conversations looked at the light column with growing greed in their eyes. A pill that could cause such amotion was undoubtedly extraordinary.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Whoosh!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Suddenly, the sound of rushing wind erupted, and figures swiftly arrived. They suspended themselves in the sky, looking down in amazement at the column of light.
<span style="font-weight:400">"With such a phenomenon, it must be a sixth-grade pill. I wonder which master is refining pills in Miterteng Auction House?" A figure in the sky said, sounding surprised.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Yes, judging by the disturbance, it''s probably close to reaching seventh-grade. Pills of this level are not something even Gu He can easily refine," another person added, his face showing seriousness.
<span style="font-weight:400">If Miteer Tengshan were here, he would recognize the elderly figure in the sky as Guardian Jia of the Jia Ma Royal Family, also known as Jia Rong, and the middle-aged man as Mu Chen, the head of the Mu Family.
<span style="font-weight:400">"Not long ago, there was news from the Cloud Mist Sect that Pill King Gu He can now refine high-grade sixth-grade pills," Jia Rong suddenly recalled, looking towards the direction of Miterteng Auction House, his eyes filled with spection.
<span style="font-weight:400">At this, Mu Chen blinked in surprise. "Are you suggesting that the person inside might be Pill King Gu He?"
<span style="font-weight:400">"It''s highly possible!"
<span style="font-weight:400">Jia Rong nodded slightly, his expression somewhat grim. "It seems the pressure from the royal family on the Miteer family is too great. I wonder how Miteer Tengshan managed to invite Pill King Gu He."
<span style="font-weight:400">For the Jia Ma Royal Family, the Cloud Mist Sect, the foremost sect in the Jia Ma Empire, was undoubtedly a significant concern. The sect boasted formidable strength, with a Dou Emperor expert, Yun Yun, presiding over it. Additionally, Yun Shan had been in seclusion, seeking a breakthrough to Dou Ancestor.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although the strength of the Jia Ma Royal Family was not to be underestimated, whenpared to the Cloud Mist Sect, it fell somewhat short.
<span style="font-weight:400">Over the years, the two colossal entities seemed to coexist peacefully on the surface but had engaged in numerous secret conflicts.
<span style="font-weight:400">Publicly, both sides had not dered their stances, but behind the scenes, they were gathering allies and promoting their own development, avoiding direct conflict.
<span style="font-weight:400">Despite the royal family being cautious, they had not torn their faces. Yun Yun was not clear about the foundation of the Jia Ma Royal Family, and even if she had any thoughts, she dared not act on them.
<span style="font-weight:400">The Cloud Mist Sect had several Dou Kings, but the Jia Ma Royal Family also had numerous Dou King powerhouses. Moreover, they had the support of many ns, with the Mu Family being a close ally, controlling numerous legions in the Jia Ma Empire.
<span style="font-weight:400">As for the Nn Family, it was hard to say before. However, ever since Nn Yanran joined the Cloud Mist Sect and became Yun Yun''s direct disciple, her allegiance was undoubtedly with the Cloud Mist Sect.
<span style="font-weight:400">That left only the Miteer family.
<span style="font-weight:400">However, the Miteer family had maintained a neutral stance over the years.
<span style="font-weight:400">Although the royal family coveted the wealth of the Miteer family, they did not dare to be too overt, fearing that pushing the Miteer family too hard might drive them toward the Cloud Mist Sect.
<span style="font-weight:400">Now, with Pill King Gu He appearing in the Miteerteng Auction House and sessfully refining a sixth-grade pill, it couldn''t help but make Jia Xingtian suspect that the Miteer family might have inclined towards the Cloud Mist Sect.
<span style="font-weight:400">Thinking of this, Jia Xingtian''s expression immediately darkened.
<span style="font-weight:400">Surveying the surroundings, Jia Xingtian''s eyes narrowed, and he said calmly, "Unexpectedly, Nn Jie is here too."
<span style="font-weight:400">At these words, Mu Chen was also taken aback. Following Jia Xingtian''s line of sight, he saw Nn Jie, the patriarch of the Nn family, hovering not far away in the sky.
<span style="font-weight:400">Mu Chen cast a cold nce at Nn Jie and remarked indifferently, "It seems thest Spiritual Purity Pill has helped him break through. Even the poison inside his body has been suppressed."
<span style="font-weight:400">Jia Xingtian, hearing this, also looked at Nn Jie coldly. "Suppressing the poison is not so easy."
<span style="font-weight:400">"Find out what kind of pill Pill King Gu He has refined this time and whether the Miteer family has already leaned towards the Cloud Mist Sect."
<span style="font-weight:400">Having said that, Jia Xingtian nced once more at the direction of the Miteerteng Auction House and left.
<span style="font-weight:400">...
<span style="font-weight:400">In the alchemy room, the sound of the bell gradually diminished. A milky white pill in the cauldron suddenly emitted a dazzling light, forcefully breaking through the cauldron. However, despite flying around the sealed room for half a day, it could not escape.
<span style="font-weight:400">"This Qingming Longetivity Pill is indeed extraordinary; it wants to escape as soon as it''s born."
<span style="font-weight:400">Seeing the pill''s behavior, Gu He was startled, then smiled and shook his head. With a gesture, a suction force directly pulled the scattered white light back into his hands, and he then took out a jade bottle and sealed it inside.
<span style="font-weight:400">As the pill was sealed in the bottle, it gradually calmed down. Seeing this, Gu He smiled satisfactorily, deeply exhaled, and realized that this round of alchemy had consumed a considerable amount of his energy.
