Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Gu Chenzhou took a deep breath: "Star Lord Xu, these are the savings Gu has accumulated over thousands of years; compared to this flower they may not amount to much, but you have use for them."

Having spoken, he produced a Storage Ring.

Xu Zhangqing's Divine Sense swept over it, and his heart stirred slightly.

Inside this ring, Top-Grade Spirit Stones were piled like mountains.

A heap of cultivation resources, moreover, were too numerous to count.

There were also several scrolls of top-tier Star Domain secret maps that only the Yaoguang Star Foreign Affairs Office's internal personnel could access.

A permanent Pass Token for the Yaoguang Star Star Radiance Core Area.

And a Transfer Talisman bearing the Foreign Affairs Office's highest authority seal.

The spirit stones and Star Domain secret maps are hard currency among hard currencies.

And the most valuable among them are the permanent Pass Token and the Foreign Affairs Office Transfer Talisman.

This token allows one to freely enter and exit Yaoguang Star.

The Transfer Talisman means he can borrow the Foreign Affairs Office's intelligence network and Space Passages.

This is not emptying his family assets; it is clearly bestowing privileges.

Xu Zhangqing did not refuse: "Fine, I'll accept them."

Matters having come to this, the old and the young gazed at each other for an instant.

The He Tianhe Yueji Flower is the hope for breaking through, but breaking through has never a one-hundred-percent matter.

No one can guarantee whether Gu Chenzhou can rely on this flower to break through to the Unity Stage.

"I'm leaving!"

"Goodbye."

"Hope we can... meet again!"

Gu Chenzhou left.

Xu Zhangqing watched him depart, thoughtful.

A single high-grade Breakthrough Pill can increase the breakthrough chance by two tenths.

For ordinary cultivators, it is already a rare item.

The problem is, he has quite a few similar people around him.

Ruo Qunshuang, Linglong, Xiao He, Xiao Sui — they all possess Water Spirit Roots.

If all are taken into account, the Breakthrough Pills needed would not be just one or two.

These several people's cultivation and realms differ; some have been stuck at bottlenecks for a long time unable to break through, some are about to face a Great Realm threshold.

Xu Zhangqing thought for a moment: rather than apply to the Dan Ding Si, better to refine them himself.

The Dan Ding Si would regularly report pill distribution to him, and had long since disclosed the location of the Xianfu's best alchemy chambers.

Located in the Dan Ding Si's Tian Zi Xing Da Xiao Dan Fang.

The pill furnace used is named the Chi Ming Nine Yang Furnace.

This is a top-tier pill furnace inherited by the Beidou Xianfu for tens of thousands of years.

The furnace body is cast from Chi Ming Divine Iron, the furnace bottom engraved with a Nine Yang True Fire Array.

Drawing earth-core molten fire as the fire source, its temperature control ability is unrivaled in the entire Beidou Xianfu.

And the Beidou Xianfu's best Alchemist is named Ye Xuan.

Every hundred years, he opens only one furnace.

After obtaining Gu Chenzhou's He Tianhe Yueji Flower, he immediately sought out the other party.

Outside the Tian Zi Xing Da Xiao Dan Fang, the alchemy boys bustled in and out, while Ye Xuan personally manned the furnace.

The Chi Ming Nine Yang Furnace's fire erupted from the Nine Yang array eyes at the furnace bottom; nine crimson Fire Dragons coiled and intertwined within the furnace walls, refining one by one the medicinal herbs thrown in from the furnace mouth.

The earth-core molten fire's temperature, regulated by three layers of fire-control Dharma Arrays, was precisely maintained at each herb's optimal melting point.

Wrapped by the Fire Dragons, the herbs sequentially melted, purified, and fused; every step strictly followed the Breakthrough Pill's refining method.

Unknown how long passed, Ye Xuan, amid a solemn atmosphere, suddenly lifted the furnace lid.

Instantly, a rich pill fragrance diffused outward.

Two Breakthrough Pills lay quietly at the furnace bottom.

They were perfectly round throughout, their luster translucent white with a trace of extremely faint moonlight Silver Radiance.

"High-grade!"

"They are high-grade Breakthrough Pills!"

"Master Ye, worthy of being the entire Beidou Xianfu's top-tier Alchemist!"

The alchemy boys offered congratulations one after another.

High-grade Breakthrough Pills, second only to supreme-grade quality.

For the vast majority of cultivators, being able to consume a high-grade Breakthrough Pill is already a tremendous Opportunity.

Ye Xuan's face showed a pleased expression; he smiled and cupped his hands: "Inspector Gu, I have not failed your trust!"

……

……

At the same time, Xu Zhangqing was also refining pills.

There was no Earth Fire.

There was no flame-control array.

There was no Nine Yang Array Eye.

The sole source of fire was a cluster of Golden Flame from his palm.

The flame burned quietly, like a mass of solidified golden glaze.

Immediately, Xu Zhangqing tossed one batch of medicinal herbs after another into the fire.

Dragon Vein Crystal Marrow, Taiyin Fragments... and the essence of the Tianhe Moonmarrow Flower.

His technique was very simple, without the spectacular sight of Ye Xuan's Nine Dragons Coiling.

He simply used the most suitable heat to refine the rarest medicinal herbs.

The Primordial Flame's characteristics were extreme: it did not burn the flesh body, only burned laws.

Such a flame, used for pill refining, was an unparalleled razor.

It could peel open the medicinal herbs layer by layer, remove all impurities, and keep only the core medicinal potency.

No one knew how long the entire pill-refining process lasted; when the Primordial Flame gradually dispersed, three pills lay quietly in his palm.

These three pills were perfectly round all over, with a lustrous white color.

Within the lustrous white shone a rich moonlight silver radiance.

Judging by appearance and color, they were different from the top-grade Breakthrough Pills produced by the Pill Cauldron.

Top-grade Breakthrough Pills did not have this translucent quality between moonlight and starlight.

And these three Breakthrough Pills, when held under the light, showed moonlight within the pill body.

And the moonlight was not static; rather, it flowed within the pill body.

Every time it flowed a circle, it would release a wisp of extremely pure Taiyin law.

Top-grade Breakthrough Pills always emitted a pill fragrance.

Smelling a mouthful made one's magic power become active.

But these three Breakthrough Pills had almost no obvious smell.

One needed to sink divine sense into the pill body's interior to perceive that pure medicinal power locked in the pill heart.

This was not insufficient quality.

Quite the opposite, this was quality too high, so high that all medicinal power was locked inside the pill body, not a single wisp escaping.

Xu Zhangqing nodded slightly: "Supreme-grade Breakthrough Pills!"

The first refining attempt not only succeeded, but also produced three Supreme-grade Breakthrough Pills.

He was very happy, and moved another batch of pill-refining medicinal herbs out from his Shen Guo.

A mature Tianhe Moonmarrow Flower was among them.

The refining of the second batch of pills was smoother than the first time.

Under the tempering of the Primordial Flame, Dragon Vein Crystal Marrow and Taiyin Fragments were peeled open layer by layer, impurities turned into fine light scraps and dissipated, leaving only the purest medicinal potency.

The entire process was shortened by nearly half compared to the first time.

And the heat for every step no longer needed deliberate calculation.

When to raise the temperature, when to withdraw the fire—all relied on feel.

The Primordial Flame dispersed bit by bit, and four Breakthrough Pills appeared in his palm.

Still perfectly round all over.

Still lustrous white with moonlight silver radiance.

The moonlight within the pill body was even richer than the first batch.

Afterwards, Xu Zhangqing sealed the refined Supreme-grade Breakthrough Pills one by one into jade bottles.

Then his figure flickered, and he returned to the Yu Heng Xing Gong.

The path of Refining the Void was still very long.

From Early Stage to Middle Stage was the key stage of Shen Guo expanding from inside out.

What ordinary Refining Void Cultivators needed to do at this stage was carefully expand the scale of their Shen Guo.

But Xu Zhangqing's Shen Guo was much larger than others from the start, with the integration of his Personal Space, plus the bonuses of mutant Lingti such as the Many Children Much Fortune Mother Rice, Three Spirit Sacred Tree, and Earth Element Fruit Tree.

His Shen Guo, from the start, was already close to the Late Stage of Refining the Void.

However, the higher the starting point, the more enormous the energy required afterward.

Others' Shen Guo only needed to roughly double from Early Stage to Middle Stage.

But Xu Zhangqing from Early Stage to Middle Stage needed to at least triple, or even more!
