Shi Lang was holding his spear a few inches away from Han Ming''s throat. The girl was panting and Shi Lang was pale. He was tired, to win the battle he had expended all of his true essence in one go. He asked, "Senior Sister Han, do you concede?"


    Han Ming looked at him and then nodded before she said, "I admit defeat."


    Shi Lang took back his spear and then he bowed his head. He turned around and walked toward the side. Lou Shin appeared beside him and asked, "Are you okay?"


    The Terran nodded and replied, "Yes, I am fine, can we go through the alchemy hall test though itnow?"


    Han Ming replied and then she led him to the Alchemy Hall. The disciples were all watching them leave but none of them came forward to stop him. The young man Yao asked, "Big sister Ming, did you manage to see through thatst move? I have never seen something like that ever before."


    Han Ming shook her head and said, "I have seen drunken fist, but this mix with the spear was something out of expectation. Also, his body movement was very mysterious. I could not keep up with him."


    Yao nodded and replied, "I could sense some traces of speed Dao in his footsteps. Although it exins his speed but what was the second element?"


    One person from the crowd yelled, "I got it, Senior Brother Yao, he hasprehendedws of Illusion. That''s why his steps were illusory."


    The people could not fathom such a thing. Han Ming gulped and said, "He was using three Daows at the same time. Also, his physique is at a level where normal spirit weapons cannot harm him. It might not be rare but it''s still something to take note of. As his spiritual cultivation increases, his physical abilities will only increase."


    Yao nodded and said, "Well, this exchange was not aplete waste, we managed to figure out a few things about him. We all know that a normal cultivator can never gain control of the War Token."


    The people around the square nodded.


    ...


    Shi Lang did not know that his battle has caused a stir among the disciples. He took out a jade bottle and took out a pill. Lou Shin looked at the pill and took a deep breath. She asked, "Is that a tribtion level pill?"


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "Yes."


    He consumed the pill and extended the pill bottle to him. Lou Shin was surprised and Shi Lang said, "This is what I refined on my own."


    Lou Shin nodded and opened the pill bottle. She looked at the content of the bottle, and her soul trembled. She asked, "They are all tribtion pills."


    Shi Lang nodded and they had reached the Alchemy Hall. Lou Shin was still in a daze when the Terran asked her, "Instructor Lou, what do I need to do to enroll in the Alchemy Hall?"


    Thedy pointed at a counter and said, "You would need to go there and the attendant will tell you what you need to do."


    Shi Lang nodded and made his way to the pointed counter. A refined schrly person was reading a book behind the counter. Shi Lang gently knocked on the surface of the counter and asked, "Senior Brother, I am a new disciple. Can you tell me what do I need to do to join the Alchemy Hall?"


    The person raised his gaze from the book and pointed at the pill cauldron on the side. He said, "Refine the best pill that you can. If it is high grade, you will pass the test."


    Shi Lang bowed to him in thanks before he went to the side, and inspected the pill cauldron. He then took out a cloth and cleaned the inside of the cauldron to ensure that none of the residue damages his pills. He even collected the pill residue into a jade bottle.


    Then he waved his hand and a vermillion me lit up under the cauldron. In the meantime he took out some spirit herbs and gradually put them inside the cauldron.


    Some disciples saw him and one of them said, "Hey, look someone is testing to join the Alchemy Pavilion."


    The other disciple sneered and asked, "What do you mean someone? Look at his waist. He is the warring disciple."


    Everyone focused at Shi Lang''s waist and found a token dangling there. One of the disciples asked, "Can we go and challenge him?"


    However, he was retorted with a snort and a news, "You are a bit toote, he fought with Senior Sister Han, and she lost to him. There will be no more battles this month."


    Many disciples were sighing, but many of them were curious as to what Shi Lang could do with the pill refinement.


    Lou Shin furrowed her brows and said, "Do you all not know the biggest taboo of pill refinement? Shut up or get lost."


    The disciples saw an Instructor scolding them and they quickly calmed down. Shi Lang moved his hands and added herbs one by one. When he was done adding the herbs, he began to make seals with his hands. At first he was still slow, but as the process advanced, his hands turned into after images and a blur.


    Shi Lang did not care about the shock that other people had, all he cared about was the herb''s spiritual essence inside the cauldron. The spiritual energy inside the cauldron was following his fingers directions and swirling inside quickly before it condensed.


    After half an hour, the Alchemy Hall reception was blooming with a thick spiritual aroma. Shi Lang stopped making hand seals and said, "Condense."


    The calm word was as strong as amand from the heavens, and the spiritual essence condensed into pills. There were five pills inside the cauldron and as soon as they condensed they pushed open the cauldron lid and flew off in the void.


    The people were still confused when the pills flew away. Shi Lang looked at the man behind the counter and said, "Senior Brother, can you please follow me to verify the refining process?"


    The man was confused and Shi Lang said, "The pills would be going under a minor tribtion."


    Boom!


    Every disciple sensed their soul shiver. Someone asked in a low voice, "Did this guy just say that his pills will undergo a tribtion? Has he gone insane?"


    Many other people began to talk in hushed tones, but the man behind the counter stood up and nodded as he followed Shi Lang outside.


    The situation outside the Alchemy Hall was different, the disciples all saw five pills to fly out of the Alchemy Hall and they circled around each other in the void for a few minutes before lightning streaks descended upon them from the sky.


    Boom! Boom! Boom!


    The entire sect heard these explosive sounds. Many of the elders hade out of their dwellings. After the lightning disappeared, the people saw five jade like blue pearls moving around in the void before the slowly descended before a youth.


    Shi Lang spread out his palm and the pills obediently fell on his palm. He then turned to look at the schrly guy and said, "Senior brother, these are five tribtion level Soul Rejuvenation pills."


    The people were now shocked at Shi Lang''s reaction. The schrly man wanted to say something when an old man appeared out of no where. Everyone was shocked and bowed to the old man.


    Shi Lang followed suit and the old man inspected one of the pills very intensely before he said, "Indeed, a tribtion pill. Hahahaha, my alchemy hall has a Tribtion Level Alchemist. Hahahahaha, we will crush the six big bastards in the annual alchemy meeting."


    Shi Lang did not even know what the old man was talking about. The old man sensed his questioning gaze and asked, "Kid, would you like to be my disciple?"


    The Terran thought for a bit and said, "Elder, thank you for your consideration but I have a master."


    His words caused many people to be startled while the old man was stunned. He asked, "Who is your master?"


    Shi Lang smiled warily and took out the ck Dragon Token, as he spoke with his spiritualmunication, "Holy Elder Cao Ming, is my master, Elder."


    The old man was shocked and the fear caused his face to turn pale. He shook his head and said, "Good, your master is a supreme existence. Well, whatever, you still have fate with my Alchemy hall. I am the Alchemy Chief Elder, Yang Bingshan. You can look for me if you ever need any help regarding alchemy. I will arrange for them to give you an identity token."


    Shi Lang cupped his fist and bowed as he said, "Thank you very much Elder. My name is Shi Lang, and I am obliged to be a disciple of the Alchemy Hall."


    What happened next was a tide of mes that spread across the Martial Spirit Hall and made Shi Lang famous.
