Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi itself is supreme-grade divine medicine!

It's not merely top-grade, but supreme-grade divine medicine!

It doesn't need to be used in alchemy; just eating it can heal the wounds of the primordial gods.

And when fresh, its effect is best! After all, its medicinal potency suffers no loss.

All the gods were unsettled.

Even the Grand Supreme Elder was dumbfounded.

He just used the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi as an example.

Literal: "He just used Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi as an example." We'll translate: "He just used Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi as an example."

But you don't need such fresh Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi; only the Kunlun God Lord can preserve its potency unchanged even after a long time, unless it was just picked.

Literal: "But that doesn't need such fresh Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi; this fresh, unless just picked, only the Kunlun God Lord can do it—even after picking for a long time, the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi's medicinal potency remains undiminished." We'll translate: "But that doesn't need such fresh Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi; this fresh, unless just picked, only the Kunlun God Lord can do it—even after picking for a long time, the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi's medicinal potency remains undiminished."

If it weren't for recent signs showing the Kunlun God Lord is recovering, he would have wanted to ask...

"Is Shen Shao-di a reincarnation of the Kunlun God Lord?" someone asked this absurd question.

Literal: "\"Is Shen Shaodi a reincarnation of the Kunlun God Lord? \" Someone asked this absurd question." We'll translate: "\"Is Shen Shaodi a reincarnation of the Kunlun God Lord? \" Someone asked this absurd question."

Even though the Kunlun God Lord already shows signs of recovery, this person still couldn't help asking; otherwise, he just wouldn't understand!

Literal: "Even though the Kunlun God Lord already shows signs of recovery, this person still couldn't help asking! Otherwise, he wouldn't understand!" We'll translate: "Even though the Kunlun God Lord already shows signs of recovery, this person still couldn't help asking! Otherwise, he wouldn't understand!"

Everyone remained silent; although they all knew it was impossible, they genuinely couldn't think of a rebuttal.

Literal: "Everyone was silent; although they all knew it was impossible, they really couldn't think of any rebuttal." We'll translate: "Everyone was silent; although they all knew it was impossible, they really couldn't think of any rebuttal."

And the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi in Shen Qingli's hand was likewise driven to its utmost by the Vermilion Bird's divine fire, causing it to exude a rich spiritual fragrance.

Literal: "And the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi in Shen Qingli's hand is likewise stimulated to the extreme by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, to the point that it emits a rich spiritual fragrance." We'll translate: "And the Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi in Shen Qingli's hand is likewise stimulated to the extreme by the Vermilion Bird Divine Fire, to the point that it emits a rich spiritual fragrance."

Even the picky treasure Jiu Li was drawn by the scent, "I kinda want to bite it~"

Literal: "Even the Nine Black, this picky treasure, was drawn by the scent, \"I kinda want to bite~\"." We'll translate: "Even the Nine Black, this picky treasure, was drawn by the scent, \"I kinda want to bite~\"."

When it was growing on the ground, it never wanted to bite it, so how does it now have even a hint of that chirpy flavor?

Literal: "When it's on the ground, it never wanted to bite before; how does it now have a hint of Xi Xi flavor?" We'll translate: "When it's on the ground, it never wanted to bite before; how does it now have a hint of Xi Xi flavor?"

"Are we going to refine a supreme-grade Yunshen Dan?" everyone eagerly anticipated.

Literal: "\"Is this going to refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill? \" Everyone began to anticipate!" We'll translate: "\"Is this going to refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill? \" Everyone began to anticipate!"

Shen Qingli possessing a supreme-grade Yunshen Dan and her being able to refine one are two different concepts!

Literal: "Shen Qingli having a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, and her being able to refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, are two different concepts!" We'll translate: "Shen Qingli having a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, and her being able to refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, are two different concepts!"

The latter could shake the entire divine court; even the Queen Mother of the West, if she wanted to kill Shen Qingli, would find it impossible.

Literal: "The latter could make the entire Shen Ting tremble! Even the Queen Mother of the West, if she wanted to kill Shen Qingli, that would already be impossible." We'll translate: "The latter could make the entire Shen Ting tremble! Even the Queen Mother of the West, if she wanted to kill Shen Qingli, that would already be impossible."

All the gods would oppose it!

Literal: "All the gods would oppose!" We'll translate: "All the gods would oppose!"

The Queen Mother of the West has already realized this.

Literal: "The Queen Mother of the West has already realized this." We'll translate: "The Queen Mother of the West has already realized this."

"That little girl is trying to break the rules again."

Literal: "\"Little girl again wants to break the rules. \"" We'll translate: "\"Little girl again wants to break the rules. \""

She now clearly understands that Shen Qingli is actually checking her!

Literal: "She already understands, Shen Qingli is actually balancing her!" We'll translate: "She already understands, Shen Qingli is actually balancing her!"

Lou Guanxue, surprisingly, is merely a pawn of Shen Qingli.

Literal: "Lou Guanxue, actually is just a pawn of Shen Qingli." We'll translate: "Lou Guanxue, actually is just a pawn of Shen Qingli."

However, if Shen Qingli could truly refine a supreme-grade Yunshen Dan, the three-day limit could be delayed, but she would absolutely not allow this girl to leave the Dao Palace.

Literal: "However, if Shen Qingli truly can refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, the three-day limit may be delayed, but she will absolutely not allow this girl to leave the Dao Palace." We'll translate: "However, if Shen Qingli truly can refine a supreme Essence-Spirit Pill, the three-day limit may be delayed, but she will absolutely not allow this girl to leave the Dao Palace."

Yet Shen Qingli's goal is clearly not limited to this.

Literal: "However, Shen Qingli's goal to achieve is obviously not just this." We'll translate: "However, Shen Qingli's goal to achieve is obviously not just this."

"Splash~"

Literal: "\"Splash~\"\" We'll translate: "\"Splash~\""

The water sound stirred.

Literal: "The water sound moved." We'll translate: "The water sound moved."

Two little fish emerged.

Literal: "Two fish came out." We'll translate: "Two fish came out."

The yin-yang pair of fish flowed and moved, like the Taiji Bagua turning in the water.

Literal: "Yin-Yang Twin Fish, flowing and moving, like the Taiji Eight Trigrams flowing in water." We'll translate: "Yin-Yang Twin Fish, flowing and moving, like the Taiji Eight Trigrams flowing in water."

"She can even raise the yin-yang pair of fish!"

Literal: "\"She can even raise Yin-Yang Twin Fish! \"" We'll translate: "\"She can even raise Yin-Yang Twin Fish! \""

"You say she is a reincarnation of the Kunlun God Lord?"

"She definitely is, right? Right!"

Literal: "\"She definitely is, right? Right! \"" We'll translate: "\"She definitely is, right? Right! \""

Even the immortals lost control! After all——

Literal: "Even immortals have lost control! After all——" We'll translate: "Even immortals have lost control! After all——"

They last saw the yin-yang pair of fish in the Kunlun God Lord's medicinal fields.

Literal: "They last saw the Yin-Yang Twin Fish, still in the Kunlun God Lord's medicinal field." We'll translate: "They last saw the Yin-Yang Twin Fish, still in the Kunlun God Lord's medicinal field."

That was before the summit of Kunlun Mountain was frozen over; although the peak has now thawed, no one has seen whether these fish are still alive.

Literal: "That is, before the peak of Kunlun Mountain was frozen over; now although the peak has thawed, whether this fish is still alive, no one has yet seen it!" We'll translate: "That is, before the peak of Kunlun Mountain was frozen over; now although the peak has thawed, whether this fish is still alive, no one has yet seen it!"

But Shen Qingli has them, and she even carries them with her! This means she can raise them!

Literal: "But Shen Qingli has it, and she even carries it on her person! This means she can raise it!" We'll translate: "But Shen Qingli has it, and she even carries it on her person! This means she can raise it!"

"Well then, I declare she wins, can I?!"

"The judges aren't saying anything, what are you muttering about?!"

Literal: "\"The judges aren't speaking, what are you muttering about?! \"" We'll translate: "\"The judges aren't speaking, what are you muttering about?! \""

"Isn't this obvious? Can Lou Guanxue raise fish? She can't! In the art of nurturing medicine, Shen Shao-di is sure to win!"

Literal: "\"Isn't it obvious? Can Lou Guanxue raise fish? She can't! In the field of herbal cultivation, Young Emperor Shen is sure to win! \"" We'll translate: "\"Isn't it obvious? Can Lou Guanxue raise fish? She can't! In the field of herbal cultivation, Young Emperor Shen is sure to win! \""

"Too bad. I forgot to open the betting earlier; this round feels like it'd be easy to win..."

Literal: "\"Too bad. Just now I forgot to open betting; this round feels like it'll be profitable……\"" We'll translate: "\"Too bad. Just now I forgot to open betting; this round feels like it'll be profitable……\""

Above the Daoist Canon Hall, things were bustling! Not only was the alchemy scene lively, but the discussion sounded like a mortal market doing business.

Literal: "On the Dao Canon Grand Hall, it's bustling with excitement! Not only is the alchemy scene lively, the discussion sounds like a mortal market doing business." We'll translate: "On the Dao Canon Grand Hall, it's bustling with excitement! Not only is the alchemy scene lively, the discussion sounds like a mortal market doing business."

"No, what kind of pill is she going to refine?" someone suddenly asked the crucial question!

Literal: "\"No, what pill is she going to refine? \" Someone suddenly asked the key question!" We'll translate: "\"No, what pill is she going to refine? \" Someone suddenly asked the key question!"

Then the venue gradually fell silent, and everyone looked toward the Grand Supreme Elder.

Literal: "Then, the scene gradually quieted down, everyone looked toward the Grand Elder." We'll translate: "Then, the scene gradually quieted down, everyone looked toward the Grand Elder."

After all, Shen Qingli is refining medicine and must not be disturbed; she has also actively blocked outside sounds.

Literal: "After all, Shen Qingli is refining medicine, cannot be disturbed, she has also actively blocked external sound." We'll translate: "After all, Shen Qingli is refining medicine, cannot be disturbed, she has also actively blocked external sound."

But the Grand Supreme Elder isn't sure either: "A supreme-grade Yunshen Dan doesn't require the yin-yang pair of fish, and a supreme-grade Huapo Dan only needs Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi and one of the yin-yang fish, not both."

Literal: "But the Grand Elder isn't sure either, \"This, supreme Essence-Spirit Pill does not need Yin-Yang Twin Fish; supreme Soul-Consolidating Pill also only needs Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi or one of Yin-Yang Twin Fish, not both required. \"" We'll translate: "But the Grand Elder isn't sure either, \"This, supreme Essence-Spirit Pill does not need Yin-Yang Twin Fish; supreme Soul-Consolidating Pill also only needs Nine-turn Divine Lingzhi or one of Yin-Yang Twin Fish, not both required. \""

But judging from the auxiliary ingredients Shen Shao-di selected, they all match what's needed for a Huapo Dan; so it's likely a Huapo Dan?

Literal: "But from the auxiliary medicinal ingredients selected by Young Emperor Shen, they are all needed for Soul-Consolidating Pill. So, it's very likely a Soul-Consolidating Pill?" We'll translate: "But from the auxiliary medicinal ingredients selected by Young Emperor Shen, they are all needed for Soul-Consolidating Pill. So, it's very likely a Soul-Consolidating Pill?"

"Would using both ingredients together yield a better effect, becoming a supreme-grade Huapo Dan?" Tai Jin asked, doubtful.

Literal: "\"If both are used, would the effect be better? Become supreme Soul-Consolidating Pill? \" Tai Jin asked doubtfully." We'll translate: "\"If both are used, would the effect be better? Become supreme Soul-Consolidating Pill? \" Tai Jin asked doubtfully."

"I doubt it." The Grand Supreme Elder shook his head: "Both are hard to refine, let alone fuse them—this would blow the cauldron! Even a divine cauldron, not to mention my thick-earth cauldron, wouldn't avoid disaster, would it?"

Literal: "\"Probably not. \" The Grand Elder shook his head, \"Both are hard to refine, let alone fuse them; this would blow up the cauldron! Even a divine cauldron, not—my thick earth cauldron, wouldn't have an accident, right? \"" We'll translate: "\"Probably not. \" The Grand Elder shook his head, \"Both are hard to refine, let alone fuse them; this would blow up the cauldron! Even a divine cauldron, not—my thick earth cauldron, wouldn't have an accident, right? \""

"What if they could be fused?" the Queen Mother of the West suddenly asked.

Literal: "\"If they could be fused? \" The Queen Mother of the West suddenly asked." We'll translate: "\"If they could be fused? \" The Queen Mother of the West suddenly asked."

The Grand Supreme Elder fell silent for a while, then said: "Perhaps then they could heal the Dao Lord's wound."

Literal: "The Grand Elder remained silent for a while, \"Then perhaps they could heal the Dao Lord's wound? \"" We'll translate: "The Grand Elder remained silent for a while, \"Then perhaps they could heal the Dao Lord's wound? \""

The Queen Mother of the West's heart trembled! Actually, most primordial gods know why the Dao Lord retreated into seclusion.

Literal: "The Queen Mother of the West's heart jolted! The reason the Dao Lord closed seclusion is actually known by most primordial gods." We'll translate: "The Queen Mother of the West's heart jolted! The reason the Dao Lord closed seclusion is actually known by most primordial gods."

During the great calamity, although the Dao Lord stabilized the situation, he obviously paid an enormous price!

Literal: "During the Great Calamity, the Dao Lord although stabilized the situation, obviously also paid a huge price!" We'll translate: "During the Great Calamity, the Dao Lord although stabilized the situation, obviously also paid a huge price!"

The Dao Lord returned to his throne, and the gods recovered;

Literal: "The Dao Lord returns to position, the gods recover;" We'll translate: "The Dao Lord returns to position, the gods recover;"

The Dao Lord entered seclusion, and the gods also nursed their wounds.

Literal: "The Dao Lord closes seclusion, the gods are also nursing wounds;" We'll translate: "The Dao Lord closes seclusion, the gods are also nursing wounds;"

Obviously, the Dao Lord entered seclusion to heal his injuries.

Since we've come to this point…

Tai Jin Emperor dared to send a mental transmission to the Queen Mother of the West, saying, "It's clear that Young Emperor Shen bears no ill will toward you, Your Majesty; she is indeed your disciple, and given the special circumstances, could you show some leniency?"

The Queen Mother of the West gave no response, as if she hadn't heard Tai Jin Emperor's mental transmission.

"But her cultivation is too low!" the Old Grandmaster exclaimed, hitting the crux: "With her cultivation, how could she fuse the two divine medicines? Her divine power is utterly insufficient to sustain such consumption!"

Tai Jin fell silent. Indeed! She is merely a first-rank lower immortal; even with extraordinary talent and having awakened the Vermilion Bird God's bloodline, making her stronger than ordinary lower immortals, her strength is still genuinely limited.

The earlier image of Shen Qingli standing firm against the Queen Mother of the West caused many to unconsciously forget that her cultivation is actually meager.

Even the Queen Mother of the West forgot.

After all, she had been resisted twice in a row, and each time Shen Qingli did not lose ground……

Now thinking back, the little girl's sudden disappearance earlier likely meant she went to consume elixirs to restore her divine power.

However, "she's recovering quite quickly, so perhaps it won't matter."

The Queen Mother of the West could see that Shen Qingli's speed of divine power recovery was extraordinary.

Just now, she had resisted once, but once the formal alchemy began, she clearly recovered.

"No good," the Old Grandmaster said from experience, "the initial activation layer is fine, but during the refinement of the divine medicine's potency and the merging of the pill, the alchemical divine power must be uninterrupted—otherwise the divine medicine will be ruined or the pill will explode."

However, Shen Qingli is someone who has refined Creation Pills in a space; the Creation Pill requires not just two but four kinds of divine medicine.

But it takes a tremendous amount of time and severely damages one's lifespan.

At present, not being in that space, when calculated, she would need to refine for five hundred years! To produce the top-tier Soul-Transforming Pill she desires.

Five hundred years……

Even though immortals' closed-door seclusions usually last long, decades or centuries are commonplace.

But if we're talking about pill dueling, taking that long would even make the yellow flowers cold.

Of course, this could subtly avoid the Queen Mother of the West's "sanctions".

But this is clearly not Shen Qingli's style!

Since the opening has begun.

Or rather, she initiated it herself.

Then naturally we must go big!

Thus——

Three days had passed, and it was time for the stage of refining the divine medicine's potency.

Zhong Minglan, located in the southernmost part of the Divine Court within the Vermilion Bird God's Palace, was the first to sense it!

She awoke from her state of guarding Shen Kuo, walked out of the hall, and gazed toward the void above the Southern Palace.

Almost simultaneously, Sheng Long Tian faintly appeared, the process of the Southern Vermilion Bird's Seven Mansions lighting up one by one once again.

And within the central Divine Court——

A cry!

Shen Qingli's Vermilion Bird seal on her forehead blazed.

Many deities sensed a subtle tremor in the Divine Court.

The Queen Mother of the West had already fixed her gaze on the south!

The Golden Crow was also looking toward the south!

Then they were the first to see a bright light streaking across the sky.

Sparkling points of light, blazing like fire—the stars of the Southern Palace's Vermilion Bird Seven Mansions!

Answering the summons!

And they came!

Their lesser gods!

She summoned them!

She is still the Master of the Origin!

So……

They came.

The stars of the seven great mansions—Wood Dragon, Golden Sheep, Earth Roe, Sun Horse, Moon Deer, Fire Snake, Water Worm—arrived.

Southern Palace's Li Fire.

All Stars Command Fire!

They came!

Naturally——

"Come."

"Refine medicine!"

Shen Qingli's order!

All the stars are in position!
