The Yin Luo Palace was the supreme faction that ruled over the Yin Luo Immortal Realm. It was governed by two late-stage Heaven Immortals: the Lord of True Life and the Lord of Heaven Alchemy, both collectively known as the Two Heavenly Maidens.Within a verdant garden located in a certain area of the Palace, there was a small lake filled with koi fish. A curved bridge stood at the center of the lake, connecting its two shores.At this moment, a beautiful woman stood atop the bridge—so beautiful that even the heavens themselves would feel envy.She was Xiao Zhiyi, standing there as she waited for someone.“I thought the Mogui Immortal Realm would launch a large-scale attack. Turns out it was just a bluff. Huh, what a hassle for nothing.”Another woman’s voice rang out, and Xiao Zhiyi immediately turned her head, seeing her close friend clad in battle armor with a spear in her hand. It was Luo Ning’er.Luo Ning’er landed beside Xiao Zhiyi. At the same time, her armor and spear vanished

“You are not alchemists, so you must be cultivators here to participate in the auction, correct? Show us your tokens!” The guard stopped Ye Yuan and Vyserielle as soon as they landed in front of the gate.Ye Yuan presented his invitation token, and the alchemists nodded.“In that case, please follow us. We will escort you to the guest residence,” one of the guards said.“Wait a moment. Actually, I also wish to register as an alchemist. How should I do that?” Ye Yuan asked.“Oh? Then what is the highest grade of pill you can refine?” the guard asked.“I can refine Heaven-grade pills,” Ye Yuan replied, releasing a trace of his Heaven Immortal aura.“Heaven-grade!” Both guards were shocked, but they quickly regained their composure.Naturally, they could not believe such a claim without concrete proof before their eyes.“If that is the case, then we do not have the authority to test you directly. However, before that, could you at least refine a Dao Realm–grade pill?” The two guards requ

Fang Mu, one of the Elders of the Jade Heaven Pill Sect and a Heaven-level alchemist, was currently in his study, researching various herbs in an attempt to create a new pill recipe.The middle-aged man was so focused that he did not notice the knock on the door from outside.“Master, it’s me, Ling Yun.”“Hm? What is it? I’m busy right now, so don’t disturb me,” Fang Mu replied without even turning his head.“A senior wishes to take the Heaven-level alchemist examination, so the presence of an Elder is required to test him.”“Just call another Elder. I already said I’m busy,” Fang Mu refused.If a new Heaven-level alchemist were to appear, the other Heaven-level alchemists would certainly try to meet them.Fang Mu did not refuse to be an examiner because he did not care about Heaven-level alchemists, but because the one being tested might not even pass.Among all the alchemists who attempted the examination, only about 1% succeeded. Because of that, the Elders often refused to act as

Ye Yuan was invited by Elder Fang Mu to have a conversation at his residence. Ye Yuan did not mind, but he first went to meet Vyserielle and explained everything that had happened to his wife. Fang Mu came along as well, wanting to see the wife of this newly promoted Heaven-grade alchemist. He praised Vyserielle’s beauty—who was using the alias Long Lian—feeling that such a beautiful and powerful woman was indeed well-matched for a man who was equally strong. Ye Yuan chatted briefly before escorting Vyserielle to the guest residence. Fang Mu accompanied them as well, talking along the way. After that, Ye Yuan and Fang Mu returned to Fang Mu’s residence. “Incredible. This garden is filled with aromatic herbs meant for diffusion. Even though there are many different types of herbs with different scents, they don’t clash at all. On the contrary, when all the fragrances blend together, they create an even more delightful aroma,” Ye Yuan praised Fang Mu’s green garden. “You seem to ha

Feng Huang Yin, the young miss of the Blue Phoenix Branch, was now the fiancée of the young master of the Sky Phoenix Clan.She had been chosen by her clan as the host of the upcoming grand auction and was currently in the treasure storage chamber, the place where all the auction items were kept.Feng Huang Yin had to inspect this chamber every day, ensuring that all the treasures would be in their best condition when the auction began.“No matter how many times I look at them, all these treasures are truly astonishing.” Feng Huang Yin began walking through the chamber, inspecting each treasure one by one.“They’re all extremely rare items, so difficult to obtain that any cultivator who sees them would start drooling.” Feng Huang Yin said this while swallowing her saliva.More than once, her gaze lingered on a particular treasure, as if she could hear a whisper urging her to take it. But Feng Huang Yin was able to restrain herself.“No wonder all the hosts of the Heavenly Phoenix Auct
