Song Wen nodded in response, "I am Wu Sheng. May I ask who you are?"

The Qi Refining disciple replied, "My name is Luo Zhuo. I've been ordered to lead Elder Wu to the Xuan Pill Room."

"Thank you," Song Wen replied.

The two took to the air, heading toward the foot of the Pill Peak.

At the same time, Luo Zhuo briefly introduced the situation regarding the Pill Peak to Song Wen.

At the foot of the Pill Peak, there were four pill rooms, corresponding to the four characters: Tian, Di, Xuan, and Huang.

The four pill rooms were named in accordance with the four levels, from the highest to the lowest: Tian (Heaven), Di (Earth), Xuan (Mysterious), and Huang (Yellow).n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Among them, the Huang Pill Room had the most alchemists, as the Qi Refining disciples were the most numerous; the Xuan Pill Room was second; the Di Pill Room was next; and the Tian Pill Room had the least.

In the entire Beastmaster Sect, there were fewer than a handful of people who could refine fourth-level pills.

As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Song Wen could refine second-level pills, so he naturally went to the Xuan Pill Room.

The two quickly arrived at a grand hall located on the shady side of the mountain.

The Beastmaster Sect's pill room was somewhat similar to that of the Su family.

It was built against the mountain.

Outside the mountain body, there was a large hall for communication among the alchemists.

The alchemy rooms were situated within the mountain itself, carved out of the mountain's interior.

According to Luo Zhuo, deep underground in the Pill Peak, there was a sealed spirit flame known as the Earth Core Refining Flame.

The alchemy rooms were set up at the foot of the Pill Peak to easily draw the heat emitted by the Earth Core Refining Flame for alchemy.

After bringing Song Wen to the entrance of a stone chamber within the mountain, Luo Zhuo took his leave.

As Song Wen entered the stone chamber, he saw four people sitting cross-legged inside-two men and two women.

The person in the main position was a middle-aged male cultivator at the mid Foundation Establishment stage.

In front of him, there was a pill furnace, and beneath it was a bottomless pit.

The pit was only palm-sized, but it emitted a scorching aura.

This pit connected directly to the Earth Core Refining Flame sealed deep underground.

The other three were all young, appearing to have just entered the Foundation Establishment stage.

Song Wen clasped his fists in greeting, "Greetings, fellow brothers and sisters. I am Wu Sheng, newly entered into the Beastmaster Sect, and I hope you all can look after me."

He positioned himself humbly, lowering his status and presenting himself as a junior disciple.

The middle-aged male cultivator raised his hand, pointing to a mat on the ground, and said kindly,

"Wu Sheng, please sit there."

"You're new here, so let me introduce you."

"My name is Wei Ding, and I am a Servicing Elder of the Beastmaster Sect. These three are new Foundation Establishment cultivators who joined the sect in the past three years."

He pointed to the closest female cultivator.

This woman was beautiful, with a graceful figure, and she always wore a hint of a smile, inexplicably giving a sense of warmth and approachability.

"Her name is Zuo Shuiyun, and she is an outstanding disciple who has emerged from the many outer disciples of the Pill Peak."

Zuo Shuiyun took over the conversation, smiling at Wei Ding and saying, "Elder Wei, you flatter me."

After saying this, she turned to Song Wen and said, "Greetings, Junior Brother Wu."

Wei Ding then pointed to one of the young male cultivators and said,

"This is Huo Ding, a genius in alchemy, who has already been accepted as a disciple by the peakmaster of the Pill Peak. The peak master has been busy in seclusion recently and has entrusted me to temporarily teach him how to refine second-level pills."

Huo Ding exuded the pride typical of a genius.

He glanced at Song Wen, acknowledging him with a nod.

Wei Ding pointed to the last female cultivator and said,

"Her name is Zhou Siyi, the daughter of the vice master of the Spirit Beast Peak, and also a cultivation genius. At only twenty years old, she has successfully established her foundation. Junior Sister Zhou has loved alchemy since childhood, and after successfully establishing her foundation, she gained her father's approval and entered the Pill Peak."

Zhou Siyi was very beautiful, radiating a youthful innocence.

Especially with her lively, expressive eyes, she easily drew attention.

She stared at Song Wen with wide eyes, curiously sizing him up.

Song Wen bowed slightly and clasped his fists.

"Greetings to Elder Wei, Senior Sister Zuo, Senior Brother Huo, and Senior Sister Zhou."

Wei Ding said, "Now that the four of you are here, I will outline the arrangements for you at the Pill Peak. For the next ten years, you will follow my lead in studying alchemy. If you have any doubts about your cultivation, you can also consult me."

"In this pill room, you will often encounter experienced alchemists. You can also seek their advice on refining and cultivation problems. There will frequently be exchanges organized by the sect, and you can participate during your free time."

"Today, I will first teach you how to refine the Cultivation Pill. The Cultivation Pill is the most commonly used pill for Foundation Establishment cultivators to enhance their strength."

As he spoke, Wei Ding began to refine pills, demonstrating the method for creating the Cultivation Pill.

It was clear that Wei Ding was very experienced in refining the Cultivation Pill, executing the

process with great skill.

This batch of Cultivation Pills took a full day to refine, resulting in seven pills.

After collecting the seven pills, Wei Ding explained,

"A single batch of Cultivation Pills can yield up to eight pills, but that requires a third-level

alchemist to achieve. The limit for a second-level alchemist is usually seven pills. The reason for this difference is that the spiritual perception of a second-level alchemist is insufficient, to condense eight pills during the refining stage."

making it

Wei Ding's teaching was meticulous, explaining the entire refining process of the Cultivation

Pill in detail.

"For the next month, you should focus on mastering the method for refining the Cultivation

Pill. Each of you can receive ten portions of spiritual herbs. If you use up all ten and still cannot successfully refine the Cultivation Pill but wish to continue practicing, you will need to go to the Herb Peak to purchase more spiritual herbs."

"As honorary elders of the Beastmaster Sect, you will each receive one hundred spiritual stones per month. However, this amount is far from sufficient for your cultivation needs. If you want to earn more spiritual stones, you must learn to refine second-level pills as quickly as possible, complete the sect's pill-refining tasks, and naturally earn the task rewards."

"In two months, I have to deliver a batch of Cultivation Pills to Elder Shen of the Weapon

Peak. I hope you can learn the refining method for the Cultivation Pill quickly to assist me in producing this batch."

Zhou Siyi blinked her large eyes and looked at Wei Ding with a pure and innocent expression.

"Elder Wei, since Elder Shen of the Weapon Peak needs Cultivation Pills, can't he directly purchase them from the Pill Peak? Why is there a need for private transactions with you?"

Hearing this, Wei Ding's expression shifted between anger and concern.

It seemed he wanted to explode with rage but hesitated due to her identity.

Finally, with a grim expression, Wei Ding flicked his sleeve and walked out.

At this moment, Zuo Shuiyun stood up and hurriedly said,

"Elder Wei, don't worry. We will learn how to refine the Cultivation Pill as quickly as possible

and do our part to ensure timely delivery."

However, Wei Ding didn't even look back and left straight away.

Once he was far away, Zhou Siyi looked at Zuo Shuiyun and snorted.

"Senior Sister Zuo, if you want to curry favor with Elder Wei, do it yourself. Don't drag the

three of us into it. I came to the Pill Peak to study alchemy, not to do free labor for someone else."

Zuo Shuiyun lowered her head, pondering for a moment before replying,

"Junior Sister Zhou, I understand your noble status and exceptional talent, which makes you

disdainful of flattery; but I can't afford that luxury. I was born ordinary, with average talent,

and I must lower my gaze and curry favor with the sect's elders to obtain enough cultivation

resources."

"If I acted as freely as you do, I might still be struggling in the outer sect, and it would be hard to even establish my foundation, let alone break through to the late Qi Refinement stage."

"Perhaps you think I'm unscrupulous and look down on me; truthfully, I don't want to be like this either, but I have no other choice."

After saying this, she turned and left for the adjacent alchemy room to begin trying to refine

the Cultivation Pill.
