Chapter 1045: Refining Eighth-Grade Pills Again

"Hmm? Is Brother doing this because..."

"Are you disgusted with me?"

Hearing Xuanyi's words, Wang Jianqiang's expression suddenly became dejected.

"Little Brother, what are you saying? How could I possibly be disgusted with you?"

"I was just... I meant... um..."

"I just wanted you to spend more time on cultivation, and didn't want you to delay your own talent."

Xuanyi's eyes flickered, his tone earnest and sincere.

Wang Jianqiang was full of suspicion, "Is that so?"

Xuanyi nodded solemnly, "Of course it is. We are as close as brothers; how could your elder brother be disgusted with you?"

Wang Jianqiang nodded, "That's true."

After saying this, he looked at Xuanyi, his face full of sincerity, "Good brother!"

Xuanyi also looked at him with a face full of sincerity, and the two stared at each other, "Good brother."

Ugh~

Not long after, once Wang Jianqiang had left.

Xuanyi looked disgusted, nearly vomiting.

"Damn it, that grandson finally left."

A look of excitement appeared on his face.

With that grandson by his side, he was always worried about when that grandson would come to scam him again.

He never felt at ease in his heart.

Now, he could finally set his mind at ease.

Ugh~

On a winding path of the Gentleman Alliance.

Wang Jianqiang recalled the eye contact with Xuanyi earlier, and his stomach felt a wave of discomfort.

That old bastard Xuanyi is just too shameless.

He was clearly disgusted with him and wished he would leave immediately, yet he had to be so pretentious.

Too hypocritical, too disgusting.

"I have despised such hypocritical people my whole life!"

Wang Jianqiang cursed fiercely and spat on the ground.

Not long after Wang Jianqiang returned to his residence.

Dong Yue sent a message, telling him that the Gentleman Alliance cultivators had finished gathering.

He packed up the items in his residence.

He walked out of the residence.

Half an hour later.

Wang Jianqiang flew out of the Gentleman Alliance and flew toward the distance.

Behind him.

Dong Yue and the other women followed closely.

As for the group of Gentleman Alliance cultivators, they had been taken into the Jade Bead Space by him.

The group flew all the way toward the Northern Territory.

Several months later.

Wang Jianqiang and the women arrived at the core area of the Tianhuo Domain.

Although this was still within the Tianhuo Domain, it was a long distance from the Northern Territory.

If the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators invaded again, there would be plenty of time to escape.

Moreover, the core area of the Tianhuo Domain was the place with the most concentrated Spirit Qi in the Tianhuo Domain.

The cultivation environment and surrounding resources were much better than those of the Northern Territory.

Although the Out-of-Boundary Cultivators looked down on it, they, as Northern Territory cultivators, were used to being poor and were quite satisfied with the environment here.

After confirming the new sect site.

The group tidied up a bit and temporarily stationed themselves here.

As for the construction of the sect, it could be done slowly.

"Uncle Wang, I am going into seclusion to refine the power I haven't had time to inherit yet, and attempt to break through to the Great Vehicle Stage."

Chen Jiaojiao was also among the relocating group.

After the group was stationed, she looked at Wang Jianqiang.

It was unknown when the war between the Sea Clan and the Eight Continents Outside the Realm would end.

She had to seize the time to refine the power within her body and break through to the Great Vehicle Stage before the next invasion by the powerhouses from outside the realm.

Wang Jianqiang nodded and whispered a reminder, "Go ahead, but remember not to be too hasty. Even if you can't break through, it doesn't matter."

Cultivation is a rigorous process.

If one is too impatient, it is hard to guarantee that something won't go wrong.

When one's cultivation level is still low, even if something goes wrong during cultivation, it won't be too serious.

But it is different for someone at Chen Jiaojiao's level.

Once a mishap occurs, it is very difficult to recover, and even a moment of carelessness can lead to irreversible injuries, affecting future cultivation.

For instance, the Pill Emperor who originally established the Alchemy Emperor Secret Realm suffered a backlash because he was disturbed by a powerful enemy while breaking through.

Even though he was an Eighth-Rank High-Level Alchemist, he only barely managed to save his own life.

His cultivation, however, came to a halt because of it.

Until his lifespan was exhausted, he was unable to make even the slightest bit of progress.

"Mm, I understand, Uncle Wang."

Chen Jiaojiao nodded, summoned a Palace Artifact, and flashed inside.

After Chen Jiaojiao went into seclusion, Wang Jianqiang also selected a spot, took out a Palace Artifact, and placed it there.

He entered it.

The interior of the Palace Artifact was vast, with a spacious hall, bedrooms, a Cultivation Room, an Alchemy Room... and rooms for various functions.

Wang Jianqiang went straight into the Alchemy Room and took out a Space Ring.

He tapped his finger on the Space Ring.

Specks of Spirit Light immediately drifted out from the Space Ring, transforming into a large quantity of Medicinal Herbs.

These Medicinal Herbs were precisely the raw materials he had previously requested from Xuanyi for refining the Eighth-Tier Pill.

He swept his gaze over the Medicinal Herbs and waved his palm; the amount of herbs instantly decreased by two-thirds.

Ever since he obtained the system, he had never failed at Alchemy.

One portion of herbs was enough.

Afterward, he took out a Jade Slip.

This Jade Slip contained an Eighth-Rank Low-Level Pill Recipe that could increase a Cultivator's probability of breaking through to the Great Vehicle Stage.

The Eighth-Tier Pill he had promised Xuanyi he would refine was precisely this one.

He first spent 50,000 Cultivation Points to optimize and upgrade the pill recipe into a Perfect Pill Formula, and after familiarizing himself with the optimized and upgraded recipe in his mind, he began the Alchemy.

A few days later.

Muffled sounds spread out one after another.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth in this area was drawn in, gathering toward the new site of the Gentleman Alliance.

The Spirit Qi of heaven and earth in this region rapidly became much denser.

"Daoist Friend Wang is refining an Eighth-Tier Pill again!"

Seeing this familiar celestial phenomenon, Yun Xin was startled, and then a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She flashed and appeared outside Wang Jianqiang's Palace Artifact.

Not long after Yun Xin arrived, Dong Yue and the others also rushed over one after another.

They looked toward Wang Jianqiang's palace with faces full of astonishment.

The higher the level of an Alchemist, the lower the frequency of their pill refining.

This is because the raw materials required for high-level pills are too precious to be refined often.

As for low-level pills, high-level Alchemists generally disdain to refine them.

Therefore, in this world, once Alchemists reach the Seventh-Rank or above, they almost rarely open their furnaces to refine pills.

Generally, being able to refine one furnace within eight or ten years is considered a high frequency.

This is also another reason why the difficulty of improving one's Alchemy Dao leaps significantly after an Alchemist reaches the Seventh-Rank.

After all, only by refining pills of the same rank as one's own Alchemy Dao cultivation can one best improve their Alchemy Dao level.

As an Eighth-Rank Alchemist, Wang Jianqiang had actually opened two furnaces of pills in such a short time.

Where did he get so many precious Medicinal Herbs?
