Chapter 648: with translation of chapter title

648. Chapter 646 You have already made great progress

Everyone who heard Lu Yuan's words expressed their understanding.

Just as Lu Yuan was wholeheartedly cultivating in seclusion, a huge conspiracy was secretly brewing.

Xueying is the leader of an evil force; he hates Lu Yuan and the popularity and reputation of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

In order to strike at Lu Yuan, he decided to deal a heavy blow to Lei Huo Dan Ge.

Xueying sent his subordinates to infiltrate the Yingyue Lou located at the center of Heavenly Wind City; it is a grand and mysterious building.

Inside the building, the subordinates began setting up a forbidden formation known as the 'Blood Moon Nirvana Array'.

It is said that if this forbidden formation is successfully activated, it can trigger a devastating large-scale disaster.

The news quickly reached Lu Yuan's ears.

He immediately interrupted his cultivation and rushed to Yingyue Lou with Su Liyan and Mo Di.

When they arrived, it was already too late.

As they got closer to the entrance, they saw that the entire building was filled with thick black mist and a foul odor.

"Is this the 'Blood Moon Nirvana Array'?"

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, "It seems we've arrived just in time."

Su Liyan nodded, the Ice Crystal Long Whip in her hand emitting a hint of cold; she decided to provide Lu Yuan with auxiliary support.

Mo Di stood aside observing the arrangement of the villain disciple, saying: "This formation seems unusual; the demonic aura inside is growing stronger."

They began to carry out actions around the entire floor.

Lu Yuan hoped to locate the core of the Blood Moon Nirvana Array by using the Five Elements Escape Technique.

Su Liyan was responsible for protecting Lu Yuan from interference, using the Ice Crystal Long Whip to launch ice attacks.

In the fierce battle, Lu Yuan discovered a key position.

Without hesitation, he stepped onto that forbidden formation and swung the Heavenly Gang Thunder Fire Sword.

A flash of lightning-like light passed; he used the thunder-fire sword to emit strands of thunderous power, gradually breaking the forbidden formation.

With Lu Yuan's efforts, the forbidden formation could no longer hold.

Finally, under the dazzling thunder and lightning light, the Blood Moon Nirvana Array completely collapsed.

In a corner of the now-calm Yingyue Lou, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Too dangerous!"

Su Liyan panted, "Fortunately, the two of you cooperate very well."

Mo Di, after returning to his original appearance, laughed: "We are merely little helpers to Senior Brother Lu Yuan."

In the Cuiyun Pavilion of the Xuanxiao Sect, Lu Yuan stood before everyone, holding a jade bottle filled with shimmering seven-colored light.

He joyfully said: "See? This is the 'Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill' I refined!"

"Although it is only low-grade, it can already greatly enhance the efficiency with which cultivators absorb heavenly and earthly spiritual energy."

Everyone let out a chorus of praise, feeling genuine admiration for Lu Yuan's achievement.

Su Liyan laughed and said: "Lu Yuan is really amazing!"

"This 'Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill' is practically a blessing for cultivators!"

Mo Di also couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Having a senior brother like you by our side makes us truly fortunate!"

Just as everyone was cheering, suddenly a powerful pressure descended upon the Cuiyun Pavilion.

Everyone looked up and saw several senior figures of the Xuanxiao Sect and a mysterious venerable slowly flying over.

The venerable wore a black robe that covered most of his face, giving off a mysterious and imposing aura.

His gaze swept over everyone in the pavilion, and he said indifferently: "Lu Yuan, I've heard of your achievements; not bad."

The venerable actually expressed approval of Lu Yuan's alchemical achievement!

This surprised everyone greatly, and all present bowed to the venerable.

Lu Yuan's face showed delight; he respectfully bowed to the venerable and said: "Thank you for your praise, venerable; receiving your recognition is my honor."

The venerable nodded slightly and said calmly: "According to our prior agreement, you will enter the ranks of inner disciples."

"I will personally guide you in the Dao of alchemy and impart higher profound immortal methods. What is your wish?"

Although Lu Yuan's heart was extremely excited, he held in his hand the Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill he had created; he knew cultivators had great expectations for this pill, and hoped to soon refine a higher-quality Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill.

Thus he respectfully said: "Venerable, please accept me as your disciple and allow me to serve by your side in the humblest capacity."

The venerable smiled faintly, his demeanor solemn, and said: "You have high comprehension and a diligent spirit; I appreciate your humble attitude."

"Since you earnestly request it, from now on follow me and learn my way of cultivation."

Lu Yuan instantly beamed with joy, unable to contain his smile, and bowed again to the venerable: "Thank you, venerable, for accepting me as your disciple!"

"From today onward, I will devote myself wholeheartedly to cultivation, not failing your nurturing."

The fellow disciples all felt envious that Lu Yuan had become an inner disciple.

After all, becoming an inner disciple means they will enjoy more resources and opportunities.

Mo Di, who had fought side by side with Lu Yuan, felt a tinge of melancholy while cheering for him.

They had once been equal partners, but now Lu Yuan has stepped into a higher realm.

The venerable inquired in depth about the formula and refinement process of the Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill.

Lu Yuan answered each question meticulously and submitted his improved formula and refinement method.

Upon hearing these, the venerable nodded, indicating satisfaction.

"Very good, you have already made great progress," the venerable encouraged.

"But for now it is only a low-grade Spirit Source Gathering Qi Pill, which cannot meet cultivators' demand for higher-quality pills."

"You can work together with other elders to improve the formula, assisting each other in your respective strengths, hoping to enhance the pill's quality."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.

He knew the task was not easy, but he had confidence that through close cooperation with the other elders and with the Venerable's professional guidance, he would surely be able to refine a higher-grade Spirit Source Qi Gathering Pill.

The Venerable watched the cultivators preparing for the trial, smiling and said: "The process of testing the medicine will have some dangers, but only by personally experiencing it can we improve it better."

Lu Yuan walked to the test area, and the innate curiosity of several cultivators made them unhesitatingly take the low-grade Spirit Source Qi Gathering Pill refined by Lu Yuan.

After a moment, they began to gradually feel the obvious change of their cultivation progress speeding up.

The Venerable nodded satisfiedly, knowing that the low-grade Spirit Source Qi Gathering Pill refined by Lu Yuan had already achieved a certain effect.

Although there is still great room for improvement, this result has already proven Lu Yuan's talent and effort in the art of alchemy.

"Next, I will fully support you in continuing the pill research work." The Venerable said with a firm tone.

"Our goal is to create a higher-grade Spirit Source Qi Gathering Pill."

Upon hearing this goal, everyone became excited.

They knew that if they could successfully develop a higher-quality Spirit Source Qi Gathering Pill, it would have a huge impact on the entire Xuanyao Sect's cultivation world. (End of chapter)
