Seeing Little Master-Uncle’s stunned expression, everyone laughed out loud.

“How did you gather the medicinal herbs for the Foundation Establishment Elixir?” Chen Jingzhai asked in surprise.

“As a disciple of Daoxuan Peak, we focus on comprehension, not aptitude. So I naturally need the Foundation Establishment Elixir for that,” Sun Changrong explained with a smile. “Every time I enter the secret zone, my primary goal will be sourcing the medicinal herbs for the Foundation Establishment Elixir.”

“That’s right.” Li Yifei smiled and said, “After entering the secret zone, I gathered all the medicinal herbs by the fifth day. The disciples of Elixir Peak had discovered the Phantom Heart Grass.”

In the secret zone, most of their gains had to be handed over. No matter how much Phantom Heart Grass they could pick, only a few would be left for themselves.

Therefore, the disciples of Elixir Peak or other peaks would not stay behind if they found a large number of medicinal herbs. Instead, they would spread the news and let the others come over to pick them up. This way, they could earn some favors. It was much more valuable than obtaining some spiritual stones.

Of course, the disciples of Elixir Peak also had different levels of closeness in their relationships with their fellow disciples. It was inevitable and normal.

When the various branches explored secret zones, they would subconsciously protect the disciples of Elixir Peak. It was so that they could quickly find the herbs they needed. This was also how fellow disciples got along with each other.

“As long as the news spreads, we’ll naturally be able to find it,” Chu Jingsong said with a smile. “Although we’ve successfully reached the Foundation Establishment Plane, we still have to think about our branches. Moreover, these medicinal herbs are very valuable.”

“Is it the same for everyone?” Chen Jingzhai’s face darkened as he asked.

“Yes, that’s right.” Zhao Qinghe smiled and said, “I think no one told Little Master-Uncle about this, causing you to miss this opportunity. But it doesn’t matter. There’s enough for us to share.”

“Yes, he’s right,” Zhou Yuanhao said. “There’s no need to add more people.”

After experiencing the wave of essence power, he did not want to share it with anyone else either.

Just like Sun Changrong, he was half a step into the Complete Foundation Plane.

This pure and bountiful essence power was of immeasurable benefit to him.

Sun Changrong took the initiative to step forward and remove a portion of each medicinal herb from everyone’s hands. This way, Chen Jingzhai had eight portions. After they left the secret zone, it would still be enough for Chen Jingzhai to refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir after deducting the portion he had to hand over.

“Alright!” Chen Jingzhai did not hesitate and promised, “After I go out, I’ll refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir. Everyone will get it. It can be considered as fulfilling this favor of sharing the medicinal herbs with me.”

The elixir he refined was of high quality. There were at least twelve pills in a cauldron. Even if everyone were to take one, he would still have four left. So it was not a loss for him.

“Of course!” Chu Jingsong smiled and said, “I’ve long heard that Master-Uncle’s progress in refining pills at Daoxuan Peak is rapid. If Master-Uncle can refine a Foundation Establishment Elixir, I think you won’t be far away from succeeding in refining the Dustfall Elixir.”

As soon as he said that, everyone who was initially smiling looked over in surprise. All of them stared at Chen Jingzhai with burning gazes.

Chu Jingsong’s reminder was too timely.

Everyone was at the Foundation Establishment Plane, so they naturally did not need Foundation Establishment Elixirs.

However, the Dustfall Elixir was an elixir that increased the chances of purifying the core. It was equivalent to an advanced version of the Foundation Establishment Elixir.

This kind of elixir was something that every inner disciple lacked!

If Little Master-Uncle could really refine the Foundation Establishment Elixir, it would probably not be difficult for him to refine the Dustfall Elixir.

“The Dustfall Elixir is a Grade 3 elixir. So don’t overestimate me.” Chen Jingzhai waved his hand casually.

He used the White Crane Cloud Tree Celestial Cauldron to resolve the loophole in the Pill Extraction and Purification Scripture.

Although the cauldron had the word ‘celestial,’ it was only a Grade 2 spiritual item.

If he wanted to refine a Grade 3 elixir, he had to first upgrade the spiritual item cauldron to a Grade 3 magic treasure.

Otherwise, there was a high chance that he would be unable to refine the Dustfall Elixir.

“Master-Uncle, don’t be humble.” Li Yifei smiled and said, “How long have you been in the sect? You can already refine a Grade 2 elixir. This speed has already broken the sect’s record.”

“Master-Uncle is a genius at the path of elixir alchemy,” Jiang Youning said in affirmation

“This is why the disciples of Elixir Peak are not convinced by Master-Uncle.” Zhao Qinghe pondered and felt that he had found a blind spot. He was wondering why the disciples of Elixir Peak listened to Lin Feiyang!

The inner disciples of Elixir Peak were all cultivators who had entered the path of elixir alchemy.

They even considered this their main profession when Chen Jingzhai suddenly appeared and became an alchemy genius. Moreover, he was a Master-Uncle.

Could they not get any ideas?

“Let’s not talk about this anymore.” Chen Jingzhai waved his hand. “Let’s break the Restriction first!”

Next, Chen Jingzhai continued to work on the fifth Restriction.

Chu Jingsong and Jiang Youning stood guard behind him. Sun Changrong and Li Yifei went to study the fourth Restriction of the door on the right. Zhang Kui held the Heavenly Hammer and carefully studied various details in the first palace. Zhou Yuanhao brought Xiao Yan to the second palace to meditate. At the same time, Zhao Qinghe wandered around and sometimes went to the passageway to pay attention to the movements of the formation.

Time passed slowly.

Outside the secret zone, it started to drizzle.

Because the formation had long been removed, Feiliu Valley was also covered in light rain.

On this rainy day, Feng Liuyun exited the secret zone and fell into the pool in shame.

Lin Feiyang was sitting cross-legged on a rock in Feiliu Valley. When he heard the commotion, he immediately looked over.

When he saw the Golden Core Sage pick up Feng Liuyun of the Divine Cloud lineage, his face trembled.

Feng Liuyun looked terrible!

He was in a much worse state than he had been. His entire head had been beaten into a pig’s head.

If not for the name on the transportation slip hanging on his waist and the identifiable robes he wore, who would have thought that this person was the suave Feng Liuyun of the Divine Cloud lineage?

At first, Lin Feiyang wanted to laugh, but he could not. This was because he thought of himself. Even if he was not as miserable as Feng Liuyun, how much better off was he?

An inexplicable sadness lingered in his heart at this thought.

Following the patter of the rain, he was actually distracted by the pool.

Fortunately, someone spoke at that moment.

“Another is marked by the nine-section bamboo staff. Master-Uncle Jingzhai seems to like Elixir Peak’s spiritual weapon very much.”

The Golden Core Sage of Elixir Peak stood in the rain with a smile.

Raindrops fell three feet above his head, separated by invisible forces. They silently followed the inexplicable force and landed at his feet.

There was a ripple and a trace of the raindrops.

He looked at Cui Chengen with a smile.

“Junior Brother Cui, why don’t you let Master-Uncle Jingzhai come to Elixir Peak? I heard he’s already a Grade 2 alchemist and can be said to be a genius in alchemy. He can only maximize his potential at Elixir Peak.”

“Senior Brother, you must be joking.” Sage Cui shook his head.

He had an unmistakable glow wrapped around him to keep the rain away.

“Senior brother, please take a look at the Restriction on this disciple’s body. This is the Small Heavens Cloud Forbidden Restriction. Little Master-Uncle has already officially entered the entry-level in the field of formations and Restrictions. He can be said to be a formation genius. Therefore, it’s only right for him to be at Daoxuan Peak.”

“Junior Brother Jingzhai is indeed not bad to have such prowess in alchemy and formations.” Elder Qin nodded and looked at Feng Liuyun. “Is Junior Brother Jingzhai breaking the Restrictions of the immortal abode? What’s his progress now?”

The Restrictions on Feng Liuyun’s body had already been removed by the Golden Core Sage of his branch.

Under the circulation of his spiritual power, he returned to his original appearance.

Hearing Elder Qin’s question, he immediately replied, “Elder Qin, Little Master-Uncle has already broken the fourth Restriction. I don’t know what will happen next.”

“I won’t interfere with the matters in the secret zone,” Elder Qin said indifferently. “Junior Brother Jingzhai knows his limits. It’s your fault if he treats you like this.”

“I was wrong.” Feng Liuyun lowered his head.

“Then remember this lesson and don’t repeat it.” Elder Qin looked at everyone. “Although Jingzhai is young, he is my youngest junior brother. If you dare to mistreat him, you will suffer the consequences.”

The Golden Core Sages who were present said that they did not dare, and the Foundation Establishment disciples lowered their heads.

For a moment, the only sound in Feiliu Valley was the patter of rain.
