“I can't believe someone has actually managed to restore all the pill recipes. That's just too unbelievable. Who the h.e.l.l is he? ”

“Yeah, does an Alchemist like him even exist on the Firmament Star?”

“Tsk tsk, this is truly an eye-opening experience indeed!”

However, the crowd of Alchemists did not intend to leave that quickly.

Despite not being able to obtain the Grandmaster's Inheritance, the valley they were at right now was still a Sage's residence. Besides the beautiful scenery, a variety of strange plants and flowers were grown everywhere. For that crowd of Alchemists, that place possessed a great value for them to explore.

Many of them had decided to stay back for three days before leaving. At the same time, some of them were interested to inquire about Chu Kuangren's ident.i.ty as well.

An Alchemist of his level was a great target for everyone to make connections with.

Meanwhile, the scene of Chu Kuangren's silhouette leaving replayed in Gujiang's mind as that person felt somewhat familiar.

As if he had suddenly recalled something, he gulped. “Wait, no… It can't be… It can't be, right?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. After all, he could not think of anyone else in the whole Firmament Star who possessed such a level of alchemy besides Chu Kuangren.

Meanwhile, having followed the Fairfrost Sage to the depths of the mountain valley.

A larger variety of extremely valuable medicinal herbs were grown there, in which each of them was at least an Honorable-Grade Supreme Elixir. If the crowd of Alchemists outside saw this area, who knew how excited they would get.

“n.o.ble Sage, do you often grow and plant these medicinal herbs?”

Chu Kuangren looked like he was deep in thought.

“Yes, I've obtained a technique that enables me to hasten the growth of medicinal herbs during my early years, so I've been steadily cultivating that technique ever since. I've grown a rather large number of plants and herbs.”

The Fairfrost Sage smiled gently. These Honorable-Grade Supreme Elixir may be incredibly valuable to outsiders, but in her eyes, they were just ordinary plants and flowers. She had merely used them to add to the beauty of the mountain valley's scenery.

“I see, this is truly a great technique, Sage.” Chu Kuangren exclaimed in praise. Although Fairfrost Sage's extraordinary technique that could hasten the growth of plants and herbs may be nothing special to an individual, it could provide great benefits to an orthodoxy instead!

One should know that the use of various Supreme Elixirs was a strategic resource to any orthodoxy. With a technique that could hasten the growth of plants and herbs, it would be enough for an orthodoxy to put themselves above others in terms of Supreme Elixirs' resources.

However, it was a shame that the Fairfrost Sage preferred to live a detached life. She had not joined any orthodoxy or plan to ever start one.

Otherwise, that technique she possessed would no doubt make her stand out among the rest.

“By the way, seeing that you're able to restore the pill recipes on the scroll earlier, which was quite an extraordinary feat by itself, do you mind telling me your name? And let me see your face as well?”

The Fairfrost Sage was just too curious about Chu Kuangren.

Upon noticing that no one was around them, Chu Kuangren too felt that there was no need to conceal his ident.i.ty any longer. He then looked at Lan Yu and nodded.

Picking up on Chu Kuangren's intention, Lan Yu dispersed the spiritual veil and revealed her divine appearance, which amazed the Fairfrost Sage.

She then looked towards Chu Kuangren as his spiritual veil was lifted. After his face was revealed, even a Sage like her could not help but be stunned by it.

She did not know how to describe his appearance with words. It was as if every word of praise had become weak and meaningless before it.

That face of his had excited the youth in her.

It made the Fairfrost Sage feel something that she had never felt for thousands of years as if her unwavering heart had been touched, and her Daoist core throbbed.

“Sage… Sage?” Looking at the stunned Fairfrost Sage, Chu Kuangren waved his hands before her.

“Pardon me, that was inappropriate of me to act like that. I can't believe that you possess such a heavenly form.” Fairfrost Sage apologized once she returned to her senses while secretly scolding herself for that embarra.s.sing act.

'You've been alive for thousands of years now, so what if he's a handsome man? Haven't you seen it all by now? I can't believe you're dazzled by his looks. That's so shallow of you.'

'Then again, this guy is just too good-looking.'

The more she looked at him, the more the Fairfrost Sage adored and got interested in Chu Kuangren's looks. She even had the intention to keep him inside her valley just for her to look at forever.

However, luckily her Daoist core was strong enough for her to toss away those malicious thoughts.

“I apologize for concealing my appearance earlier. It had to be done because I had no other choice. Now, allow me to introduce myself once more, my name is Chu Kuangren, and this woman here is Lan Yu.”

Chu Kuangren replied gently.

“It's alright.”

The Fairfrost Sage had no intention to reprimand Chu Kuangren.

With such great looks, he would be forgiven for anything he does.

'Hold on a moment.'

'What is his name again?'

Fairfrost Sage suddenly returned to her senses again as her face stiffened. “Hold up, so you're Chu Kuangren? The Black Heaven Sect Leader, Chu Kuangren?”

“That's correct.” Chu Kuangren nodded slightly.

“It really is you!”

The Fairfrost Sage was shocked.

Chu Kuangren's name was so well-known around the world that even Fairfrost Sage, who was ignorant of the news, had heard of him too.

She could not put together the image of this person with an immortal-like temperament before her and the lunatic who messed up the whole Murong clan and killed two of their Sages.

'It seems that the Murong clan have gone overboard this time to cause someone like Chu Kuangren to rage against them.'

'Yeah, it's certainly the Murong clan's fault.'

Soon after, Fairfrost Sage brought Chu Kuangren and Lan Yu to a chilly pool within the valley.

The chilly pool emanated surges of freezing qi, but in the middle of the pool floated a Supreme Elixir that radiated with light.

The Supreme Elixir had the shape of a peony flower, but it had different colors on its petals, which were the seven beautiful colors of red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.

“This is the Seven Colored Nebula Flower. I managed to get a seed of it back then, and it took nearly a hundred years for it to mature and bloom,” the Fairfrost Sage said.

Even with her ability to hasten the growth of plants and herbs, it still took almost a hundred years for that Sage-grade herb to mature. This showed how rare and valuable it was.

“Many thanks, Sage.”

Chu Kuangren took the Sage-grade herb and smiled.

'With this, Murong Xuan's spiritual mound can be saved.'

“Does Brother Chu have to leave now? If you're not in a hurry, feel free to stay in the valley for a few more days. Besides, I would also like to take the opportunity to exchange some ideas with Brother Chu about the Dao of alchemy,” the Fairfrost Sage said hopefully.

Although she had obtained the Alchemy Grandmaster's Inheritance, there were too many mysterious aspects within it that needed to be studied and understood. If an Alchemy Grandmaster like Chu Kuangren were to guide her while she did that, she would no doubt achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Chu Kuangren pondered for a while before he said, “Speaking of which, seeing that there are so many medicinal herbs in this valley, I'm just about to refine a type of medicinal pill myself and could use a place somewhere in this precious location to do so. Will the n.o.ble Sage allow me to do so?”

“Hah, of course you can.”

The Fairfrost Sage laughed and agreed immediately. “By the way Brother Chu, what kind of medicinal pill are you trying to refine?”

“The Soul-Healing Pill.”

“A Soul-Healing Pill? I've never heard of it before.”

“It's a medicinal pill used to restore one's spiritual mound.”

At those words, the Fairfrost Sage's face instantly changed.

The healing of one's spiritual mound was one of the most insolvable challenges in the world of pill alchemy for countless years now. There was no telling the number of alchemists who wanted to try but failed to do so.

'I can't believe Chu Kuangren wants to refine a medicinal pill like that.'

As such, the Fairfrost Sage could not help but look forward to it.

Outside the Fairfrost Valley.

Master Lee who had just left was speaking towards the void. “Contact the lord, I have something to discuss with him.”

“What's the matter?”

An elderly man walked out of the void.

That person was an Honorable Supreme who had a domineering aura emanating from his body. He was one of the skilled cultivators from the Overlord Sage Tribe.

“I want to get the Alchemy Grandmaster's Inheritance that is currently in the Fairfrost Sage's possession. As long as I can obtain it, I will definitely break through my current level and become an Alchemy Grandmaster!”

Master Lee said enthusiastically.

“But that's a Sage we're talking about here.” The elderly man frowned.

“Is the Overlord Sage Tribe short on Sages? As long as I become an Alchemy Grandmaster, I'll be able to refine a higher level of the Prime Tyranny Supreme Pill. This will truly be a great achievement for the Overlord Sage Tribe!”

“What if we offend a Sage because of this?”

After listening to Master Lee, the elderly man thought for a while and replied, “I'll inform the lord about this and let him decide then.”
