Chapter 87: Alchemy

Wang Xuan's face solidified, a bewildered look appearing in his eyes."Pffft!"A black arrow pierced through Wang Xuan's chest, followed by a black spear. Then came the long sword…various attacks fell u...Wang Xuan nodded, focusing his internal power from his feet into the black boat. Instantly, the massive black boat shot off into the air.

Although his combat strength at the same level was formidable, crushing those in the Hidden Treasure Realm, he was still only a cultivator of the Hidden Treasure Realm after all. His Yuan Force output paled in comparison to that of the true Dharma Realm cultivator, Xiangxi Fairy. The black giant ship's flight speed wasn't particularly fast either.

And seeing the black boat of Yinfenggu fly away, the disciples of Wanjianzong had complex eyes.

Today, they were repeatedly abused, and some disciples even perished.

Wu Di muttered in his heart: Hei Feng, I guess you'll also participate in the Star Palace Trial, right Next time we meet, I won't lose to you again.

Zheng Qian's eyes glinted with fighting spirit. She was going to challenge Heifeng once again in the Xinggong Trial.

......

Wang Xuan spurred the giant ship forward. After half an hour's flight, they entered inland.

The Fairy of Xiangxiang suddenly sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, took out a pill and swallowed it, closed her eyes in meditation, and a red and white light kept flashing on her face.

Wang Xuan frowned.

It turns out he was injured, no wonder he could control the giant vessel.

Wang Xuan remained silent, not rushing on his journey. Instead, he steered the giant ship toward the demon beast mountains on one side.

After traveling a hundred miles, Wang Xuan drove his massive boat into a secluded valley within the Beast Mountain Range.

He stood beside the Fairy of XiāngXiāng, protecting her.

Time flies.

After three hours, it was already night, with a bright moon and few stars.

The fairy XiāngXiāng had just opened her eyes, and the brilliance around her body converged. She stood up.

Wang Xuan remained silent, a hint of concern in his eyes.

"It's just a minor injury. The sound waves from the demonic beasts in the Zhenfa Realm struck my Qi Hai, but it has already recovered." Xiao Xiang Xianzi smiled.

Wang Xuan nodded. Xiao Xiang Xianzi had only recently advanced to the True Dharma Realm, so it was normal for her combat strength to be weaker.

The Lady Xiao Xiang looked at her apprentice with amusement.

"Master, do I have any problems" Wang Xuan asked in surprise.

Xiao Xiang Fairy shook her head and smiled, "No, it's just that you performed very well today, bringing back face for your master."

Xiangxiang Fairy thought of the look on Master Wanjianzong's face when he lost the bet, and felt a surge of satisfaction.

Those old-timers looked down on me, a mere fledgling True Dharma Realm cultivator, but they got their comeuppance from my disciple. Keke.”

Xiao Xiang Fairy suddenly gave a mischievous smile.

"With my cultivation and strength, how could I possibly compare to my master"

Wang Xuan wasn't too surprised. The reason why Xiashang Fairy had the reputation of a fairy was because of her beauty. She was truly from an evil sect, decisive and ruthless in her actions, she didn't pay much attention to the image of a fairy.

Xiao Xiang Fairy laughed for a moment, her domineering aura leaking out, making the surging and trembling waves last for a long time. Wang Xuan couldn't bear to look directly at it, and looked at the stars in the night sky.

"Alright, next, this master will refine a Soul-Reviving Pill for your little lover."

Xiao Xiang Fairy giggled for a moment, then took out a blood essence bottle and a pile of herbs, as well as a black and red cauldron.

Wang Xuan hesitated slightly.

The higher the level of elixir, the stricter the requirements for the alchemy furnace. This black and red alchemy furnace is good enough.

While he was eager to refine pills for Lin Miaoy, what about the pill refinement of his own master

"Well Are you not confident in your master's Dao of alchemy"

The fairy of Xiangxi gave the young man a half-smile glance.

"Humph, let me tell you, this deity is weak in martial arts, but in alchemy, throughout the entire Xuanwu Country, your master ranks second, and no one dares to be first."

Wang Xuan, upon hearing this, couldn't help but be very surprised.

Evil cultivators rarely practiced alchemy, let alone refining it to the peak level of a country.

Didn't expect that, did you

The fairy Xiao Xiang muttered softly, as if speaking to Wang Xuan, but not quite. She touched the large cauldron in front of her, a hint of reminiscence in her eyes. Back then, she had awakened to an extremely high level of martial soul talent and thought she would have a bright future in martial arts. However, shortly after her martial soul awakened, she was captured by a sinister cultivator.

That old hag practiced wicked sorcery to covet her martial talent. She even obtained some demonic arts from somewhere, intending to refine her into a pill.

This tripod is the very cauldron she was placed in back then. At that time, she was so helpless, terrified, and wept uncontrollably.

She was also spared because fate had not yet run its course. When that evil witch was about to refine her, a disciple from Yin Feng Valley appeared just in time and killed the old woman.

A trace of bitterness flashed in Xiao Xiang Xianzi's eyes. She had been saved, but she never expected that the disciple would be greedy for her beauty and wanted to take her back to Yin Feng Valley.

But on the way, that disciple of Yin Feng Gu was exterminated by a monk from Jin Guang Temple.

She was still unredeemed, and the master had fallen prey to lust. As he attempted to force himself upon her, he was killed by an elder from the Yin Feng Valley.

And the elder was attracted by Xiao Xiang Fairy's beauty at that time and brought her back to Yin Feng Valley, intending to accept her as his apprentice.

That night when the master of Yinfeng Valley took on a disciple, he suddenly stormed into her chamber and killed the elder. She thought she was truly saved; an esteemed master wouldn't be a lecherous man, would he However, in the end, she became the forbidden concubine of the master of Yinfeng Valley.

"The past is unbearable to recall," murmured Xiāngxiāng Fairy, with a sarcastic and hateful undertone.

Wang Xuan suddenly felt a chill in the air around him, and a shiver ran down his spine.

The Fairy of Xio Xiang sneered. The humiliation she suffered for decades in Yin Feng Valley was the reason why she never really cared about managing it. Otherwise, with her current cultivation level and ruthlessness, she would have slaughtered a whole batch of people in the valley.

She enjoys the chaos Yin Feng Valley is in now.

Actually, she had a secret that she never told anyone. When her husband, the master of Yin Feng Valley, went deep into the demon vein, she secretly poisoned him.

"Keke, do you know why I admire you so much"

Suddenly, the fairy Xiāoxiāng's face contorted into a sinister smile. Her eyes turned terrifyingly cold.

Wang Xuan frowned.

Now, this is the true face of my master, isn't it Not as simple and naive as the disciples of Wanjian Sect thought.

She was just a disguise, deceiving everyone, including me. Wang Xuan took a deep breath secretly.

Xiangxiang Fairy, hailing from the path of evil, has cultivated to her current level. Could she possibly be merely simple and weak on the surface

Wang Xuan: "The disciple does not know."

Xiangxiang Fairy's slender jade fingernails, traced the runes on the cauldron.

“Because you resemble your master so much, when the old master saw you using poison to sustain yourself at the ruins, clinging to that slim chance of survival, he was impressed by your unwavering determination.”

"Master, you also ingest poison" Wang Xuan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly realized something.

He looked at Xiao Xiangxian's face and finally understood why she appeared as a young girl. It wasn't a problem with her cultivation techniques, but because of poison.

"Yes, this master once used poison to feed himself. The method of feeding the poison was quite advanced and helped this master achieve his goals. Later, it was abandoned because it was simply too painful."

Xiangxiang Fairy sighed and shook her head: "When I saw you using poison back then, this master seemed to see myself. That's why I let Chan'er send the last Xiao Nuoyi talisman from Yin Fenggu to you."

"Driving poison ultimately harms both oneself and others, preventing it from reaching the great path. I thought by letting you encounter this again, you could use the small displacement talisman to teleport away when in danger, so as not to harm yourself."

The Fairy of Xiāngxiāng spoke with deep feeling.

If only I had one talisman of displacement back then, how wonderful it would have been.

Thank you, Master.

Wang Xuen was indeed puzzled at the time, wondering how a rogue cultivator from Yin Feng Gu would so generously offer a life-saving talisman.

He was very clear that being able to make a female cultivator endure the pain of poisoning her body every day, enduring unimaginable suffering, must have been a period of great helplessness and despair for Xiao Xiang Fairy. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so crazy.

"You're not curious why this seat keeps a poison" Xiashang Fairy furrowed her brows and asked.

"Not curious." Wang Xuan shook his head.

He wouldn't ask for the reason, as that would be like probing a wound. He might anger Fairy Xiang, and she might slap him to death in a fit of rage.

Although he now has a world-destroying pagoda killing move and the Phantom Shadow Divine Step, his chances of escaping under the eyes of a true Dharma Realm cultivator are still slim.

"He sure has a strong will to live. How could I ever kill my beloved disciple"

The fairy Xiao Xiang's slender fingers curled a strand of her wavy hair, and she suddenly let out a soft, warm chuckle before returning to the dignified appearance seen by outsiders.

“Alright, rest assured. It seems you've read some advanced alchemical texts, but your cultivation level hasn't reached the alchemy fire realm yet. How can you compare to your master's alchemy skills I wouldn't feel comfortable letting you practice alchemy.” a massive wave of primal energy swept across the sky from afar."Wow, impressive!"Wang Xuan hastily operated the Divine Weapon, resisting the impact of the Yuanli waves. He looked in astonishment and...
