Shi Lang looked at the pills in his hands and then he turned to look at the people who were drained of color from their faces. He asked, "Hall Master, may I keep these pills?"


    The old man nodded and said, "Umm, can wee to watch you refine the pills?"


    Shi Lang nodded, he did not mind them learning from his refining actions. After all, they would eventually figure it out. Yang Bingshan saw his actions and said, "Thank you."


    He was an erratic personality, but he was saying thank you to this junior very frequently now. It was not a glorification, but the simplest and the most sincere manner of showing his gratitude. Shi Lang began to refine more pills and the old people began to observe and discuss.


    Xiao Yue was also entranced by Shi Lang''s movements. They did not expect him to be so skilled that even their masters would learn from him. For the next five days, the alchemy hall was covered in lighting tribtions. The people outside knew that it was because of Shi Lang refining pills.


    The Terran might not care, but his actions would change the path of Martial Spirit Hall. Shi Lang continued to refine pills before the end of the month came. Yang Bingshan and the others wanted to ask him a few questions when Shi Lang said, "Hall Master, Elders, I have to go to the square. It has been a month. I have to fight today."


    Yang Bingshan suddenly realized that Shi Lang was the warring disciple, as long as he does not be invincible, he would have to keep fighting everyone. He said, "Take the cauldron with you, it will help you with defense."


    Shi Lang patted the cauldron and the size of the artifact shrank into something that was sittingfortably in his palm. He said, "The artifact is strong, and it is a card. The people know that it is a heavenly spirit artifact. If Ie across a situation where I cannot handle the enemy, and my life is in danger, then and only then shall it be taken out."


    The alchemists looked at him in appreciation. They have seen many warriors who flex their treasures, but Shi Lang was different. Xiao Yue said, "Junior Brother, can Ie with you, to watch the match?"


    Shi Lang nodded and then left the refinement hall with Xiao Yue leaving behind Yang Bingshan and the rest of the people. The hall master said, "This young man does have the right to be taken in as a disciple by the Holy Elder."


    The rest of the elders nodded and then they began to discuss the things about alchemy.


    ...


    Shi Lang walked silently, he did not care about the gaze locked at his back. He could tell that Xiao Yue was curious about him, but it was not his duty to satisfy her. They quickly reached the square. During the past month, Shi Lang was busy refining and studying things. This was why thepetitor was very rxed, thinking that the Terran did not have any significant growth.


    He only found how wrong he was when Shi Lang defeated him within ten moves. This man fought with him using closebat techniques, and the Terran disyed mixed fighting styles withbination of his movement art.


    The people were left speechless, and Shi Lang walked away from the square after an hour. He was headed to his cave abode when a voice echoed in his mind, "Xiao Lang,e over."


    Shi Lang stopped and a figure run into his back. The Terran turned around and asked, "Senior Sister, is there something you need?"


    The person who run into his back was Xiao Yue, she nodded and asked as she backed away, "Why are your eyes dead?"


    Shi Lang looked at her and replied, "To me the world has lost color."


    Xiao Mei was surprised but the next moment, Shi Lang said, "I apologize, but I have to go visit my Master."


    That said, he bowed and left thedy standing in a daze. When Xiao Yue woke up, Shi Lang was long gone and she couldn''t help but mumble, "I wonder if time will cause the color to return to your life, kiddo."


    …


    Shi Lang appeared outside the valley, and a calm voice sounded in his mind, "Come in, Xiao Lang."


    The Terran was not even the least surprised that his Master could locate him. Cao Ming was strong and the impression he gave Shi Lang was unfathomable. The Terran went inside the valley, and knelt before Cao Ming, before he asked, "Greetings Master."


    Cao Ming smiled faintly and asked, "Why are you kneeling?"


    Shi Lang shook his head and didn''t say anything. Cao Ming smiled and said, "Xiao Lang, for the nexting month, I want you to go to the foot of the crimson peak, and practice there."


    The Terran was confused and asked, "Master, where is this Crimson Peak?"


    Cao Ming smiled and looked at thedy beside him, as he said, "This is Yao Yao, you can call her Elder Yao. She also perceives the Dao of ughter and has a special ce in the Martial Spirit Hall."


    Only when Cao Ming told Shi Lang about the person was he able to sense her. She did not exist in his sensory radar. Shi Lang bowed and greeted thedy, "I have seen Elder Yao."


    Yao Yao only nodded to him and said, "For the next few months, you will cultivate below the mountain, and if you manage to keep your sanity, I will take you to the peak of the mountain."


    Shi Lang nodded and Cao Ming said, "Xiao Lang, don''t hold back. I will be here for you."


    The Terran bowed deeply to the man and said, "Thank you, Master."


    Cao Ming said, "Go, learn well."


    Shi Lang nodded, and left with Yao Yao. The old sect master appeared next to Cao Ming and asked, "Why didn''t you tell him the meaning of the Crimson Peak?"


    Cao Ming replied, "I am not his nanny, he needs to find out the answers on his own."


    The sect master sighed and shook his head, he asked, "Do you think he would be able to persist in that array?"


    Cao Ming merely smiled and said, "Come, let us y chess, let me see how much you have grown."


    … Stay updated with м??


    Shi Lang followed thedy silently, he did not show any impatience, and neither did he ask her about anything. After a few minutes, when Yao Yao stopped, the Terran found out that his destination was a Crimson-colored mountain.


    Yao Yao said, "Ie from a lineage that held absolute power in the Martial Spirit Hall. This ce was a secluded ce for cultivation. One of my elders was cultivating here when the Sect was invaded. The battle erupted on the peak and my elder yed seven hundred enemies. That night the blood was absorbed by the soil and the entire mountain turned into what it is today.


    I am here to y the remnant souls of those invaders. Every week I kill one, andprehend ughter Dao as I do it. However, that is only the foot of the mountain.


    I will tell you about the top of the mountain when we are done here."


    Shi Lang nodded and then walked up to the spot where Yao told him to. Then thedy said, "You have ten days to y a remnant spiritpletely."


    Shi Lang bowed and took out his spear. The foot of the big mountain was surrounded by mist, and Shi Lang walked inside that mist. The wind howled but the young man appeared uncaring. He moved slowly, but his steps were firm.


    He closed his eyes and then began to channel spiritual energy inside his body. Suddenly, he ducked, and avoided a w sh from behind his back. Shi Lang turned around quickly and stabbed his spear. The golden lightning from his body traveled through the spear and thennded on the remnant spirit.


    The creature let out a terrifying wail. However, Shi Lang did not stop. His lightning could immobilize the creature. He danced around and fought to his heart''s content. His actions were visible to Yao from outside the mist, and she could not help but sigh, "What a monster."


    Shi Lang did not hesitate in fighting with anything or anyone who was thrown at him. He was very skilled and calm. Yao did not know whether it was his desire to get stronger, or the desire to avenge his wife, or was it because he gave up hope on his life.


    His movement was getting very proficient with the passage of time in the mist cloud. On top of that, he was not getting tired. Yao knew why it was like that, the red mist had a strong spiritual attribute.


    However, she also frowned, because while this mist increased the rate ofprehension, it could also drive anyone mad.
