Chapter 294: Finally Starting to Refine the Breaking Realm Dan!

Xiao Yang’s return to Qingyun Mountain quickly reached Qin Fei’s ears.

Qin Fei was furious.

Another failure.

Xiao Yang already knew his secret.

If Xiao Yang didn’t die, he couldn’t eat or sleep properly.

Once this thunderstorm erupted, not only would Qin Fei’s reputation be shattered, but he might even end up without a resting place.

Moreover, he had no idea if Xiao Yang had any evidence.

If Xiao Yang held proof that he was the Demon Sect’s Young Master, it would be game over for him.

So, he had to kill Xiao Yang.

He was desperate.

Inside the Qingyang Sword Sect, in the Saint Son’s Residence,

Qin Fei was nearly pulling his hair out.

People supporting him in the Demon Sect were getting killed one after another.

He could smell a conspiracy in the air.

Could there be a mole in the Demon Sect?

He quickly dismissed that thought from his mind.

That’s impossible.

It was the Demon Sect’s secret method of controlling believers that allowed it to survive in the North.

Once someone joined, they wouldn’t dare betray the sect easily.

The consequences of treason were severe.

Betrayers would not only endure torture before execution but also have their entire lineage wiped out.

The Demon Sect was known for its ruthless tactics and its absolute cruelty.

“Could it be my older brothers’ doing?”

Qin Fei thought of his two half-brothers.

Those two were just waiting for him to die.

And it was him who was dying.

While the first and second brother were doing just fine.

“Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, I refuse to believe I can’t kill you.”

Qin Fei gritted his teeth.

He was about to reveal his trump card.

To kill Xiao Yang, there were no other options left.

Qin Fei suffered heavy losses in his attempts to kill Xiao Yang, forcing him to reveal his cards early.

Since returning from Falling Phoenix Valley, Xiao Yang had stayed on Qingyun Mountain.

This frustrated Qin Fei to no end.

With Xiao Yang on the mountain, he couldn’t act against him.

After all, the entire Qingyun Mountain was protected by an unmatched grand formation.

Plus, that mysterious Sword Saint was hiding in the shadows to protect the Qingyun Sect.

Even if he called for the Demon Saint to help, they probably wouldn’t be able to kill Xiao Yang.

They could only wait for Xiao Yang to descend from the mountain; that’s when they would have a chance to take him out.

…

In the blink of an eye, another six months had passed.

The Qingyang Sword Sect finally stopped recruiting disciples.

Meanwhile, the Qingyun Sect also took in quite a few new members.

These new disciples were selected from Qingyun City.

Adding the children of the Chen family, Qingyun Sect had recruited a little over a hundred new disciples.

On the other hand, the Qingyang Sword Sect brought in over three thousand new disciples in the past six months.

The number of new disciples in the Qingyun Sect was just a drop in the ocean compared to that of the Qingyang Sword Sect.

The Qingyang Sword Sect was about to hold a disciples’ initiation grand ceremony.

Xiao Yang heard the news and couldn’t help but laugh.

Jiang Qitian wanted the recruitment of new disciples at the Qingyang Sword Sect to be as sensational as possible.

They were even organizing this massive initiation ceremony.

The Qingyang Sword Sect sent out invitations far and wide.

All the major sects received invitations from the Qingyang Sword Sect.

This time, however, Jiang Qitian didn’t invite the Qingyun Sect.

The last time the holy son of Qingyang Sword Sect invited the Qingyun Sect, Xiao Yang completely humiliated them.

How could Jiang Qitian dare invite anyone from Qingyun Sect again?

Jiang Qitian didn’t invite Xiao Yang.

But Qin Fei was worried Xiao Yang might take advantage of this gathering of northern heroes to stir up trouble.

He had already summoned a terrifying figure to guard Qingyun Mountain.

As soon as Xiao Yang came down the mountain, he would take him out.

The half-step Killing Saint from the Smoke Rain Tower had also begun to mobilize.

Qin Fei was scared; he feared Xiao Yang would expose his secrets during the disciples’ initiation ceremony.

If that happened, he’d really be in deep trouble.

In the past six months, Xiao Yang noticed some mysterious powerhouses arriving outside the mountain.

But he couldn’t care less.

He had worked hard over the past six months but hadn’t managed to break through to the true Sacred Martial Realm.

But his alchemical skills had made significant progress.

He needed to refine the Breaking Realm Dan before the Qingyang Sword Sect’s initiation ceremony to help Ling Xian’er, Nangong Hui, Liu Qingyun, and Chen Taixu improve their cultivation.

The Breaking Realm Dan was a miraculous pill in the North.

One Breaking Realm Dan could raise a martial artist’s realm by an entire level, provided they were below the Sacred Realm.

This meant that if a martial artist at the Transforming Dragon Realm took a Breaking Realm Dan, they could immediately break through to the Divine Ability Realm.

A martial artist at the Divine Ability Realm taking one could instantly leap to the Heavenly Martial Realm.

The Breaking Realm Dan was indeed that insane.

While others struggled for decades with their cultivation, a single pill could rival that effort.

He had gathered all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Breaking Realm Dan.

However, the spiritual herbs required for this particular pill were hard to find.

Xiao Yang only managed to gather enough for two batches.

That meant he had two chances.

If both failed, he’d have to collect everything again to try refining the pill.

Just as Xiao Yang was contemplating whether to seclude himself for alchemy, someone arrived, prompting him to make a decision.

Lin Wangchuan was back.

He and Song Qiang had been visiting Qingyun Mountain intermittently over the past six months.

Sometimes they would come together.

This time, however, Song Qiang was absent.

Xiao Yang learned from Lin Wangchuan the exact date of the Qingyang Sword Sect’s initiation ceremony.

It would be in three months.

He also found out from Lin Wangchuan about Jiang Ting’s recent situation.

According to Lin Wangchuan, Jiang Ting seemed to have changed.

In the past six months, Jiang Ting had deliberately distanced herself from Qin Fei.

She hadn’t set foot in Qin Fei’s Saint Son’s Residence.

She also stopped being willful and spoiled, focusing instead on her cultivation and progress.

The current Jiang Ting was like a different person.

When Xiao Yang heard about Jiang Ting, his heart felt no ripples at all.

It was like listening to the story of a stranger.

Meanwhile, Zheng Fan, Lei Renjie, and Han Bin were all still loyal followers of Qin Fei.

Three more months.

After sending Lin Wangchuan off, Xiao Yang directly isolated himself.

He was going all in.

If he could refine the Breaking Realm Dan, the strength of the Qingyun Sect would significantly increase.

Then they could reclaim the lands that were occupied by other forces.

There were still many territories claimed by other sects.

Those areas needed to be reclaimed.

At this moment, the Qingyun Sect didn’t seem as desolate anymore.

More people began to gather on the mountain.

The new disciples, led by their Senior Brother Zhao Fan, began training diligently.

With ample spiritual pills supporting them, the cultivation of the new disciples improved tremendously.

Over ten people even broke straight into the Transforming Dragon Realm.

This training rate was definitely insane.

Even if they threw spiritual pills at them, they could still produce a batch of experts.

In the back mountain’s secret realm of the Qingyun Sect,

Xiao Yang began refining pills.

He had already built an alchemy chamber deep within this serene secret realm.

The chamber was constructed from large stones, surrounded by a spiritual gathering array.

The gathering array was also connected to the Underground Spiritual Veins.

When Xiao Yang refined pills, he continuously drew in the Earth Veins Spiritual Energy for alchemy.

The alchemy chamber was enveloped in lush greenery.

Xiao Yang stepped into the chamber and sat down on the ground.

His eyes sparkled with determination, exuding an extraordinary aura.

In the center of the room stood a crystalline alchemy furnace, intricately carved with complex runes and spiritual beast patterns, seemingly containing some transcendent power.

This was the Divine Jade Profound Fire Immortal Furnace.

Xiao Yang had gotten this Divine Jade Profound Fire Immortal Furnace at a bargain in Nine Heavens City.

Flames leaped beneath it, not ordinary flames but spiritual fire, warm in color and exuding a faint ripple of spiritual energy.

Xiao Yang gently caressed the furnace, his gaze resolute and focused.

He took down exquisite jade bottles one by one from a nearby wooden rack, each containing different herbal essences.

This was the refined herbal liquid he had prepared over the past six months, the essence of exquisite herbs, each drop containing the quintessence and life force of nature.

He carefully poured these herbs into the furnace in sequence.

The steps couldn’t be wrong.

Every step in the pill formula had to be precise.

If messed up, the whole batch would be ruined.

These were hard-earned spiritual herbs he had painstakingly collected.

So, there could be no mistakes.

Any slip-up would mean all his efforts for the past six months would be wasted.

Moreover, the main ingredient for the Breaking Realm Dan was extremely hard to find.

Even the dozens of auxiliary spiritual herbs were tough to come by.

In today’s North, even with a complete recipe, no one could refine the Breaking Realm Dan.

That was because gathering the necessary herbs for the Breaking Realm Dan was incredibly difficult.

Xiao Yang only got so many rare spiritual herbs by sheer chance.

Otherwise, even with the Wujidan Canon and a complete recipe for the Breaking Realm Dan, he still couldn’t make it.

It’s tough to cook without rice.

Xiao Yang followed the steps, adding the spiritual herbs into the furnace one by one, channeling his internal energy to merge the spiritual energy among the herbs, triggering their potential medicinal properties.

As the herbs were added, the furnace emitted bursts of extraordinary light, displaying vibrant colors like a dazzling rainbow.

Xiao Yang’s expression grew serious.

He cautiously adjusted the flame and the flow of spiritual energy inside the furnace.

Refining pills was really no easy task.

He couldn’t afford to let his mind wander for even a moment.

The medicinal liquid within the furnace began to bubble, creating a “gurgling” sound, accompanied by a refreshing fragrance that filled the entire alchemy chamber, making one feel elated.

At this moment, outside the alchemy chamber,

Ling Xian’er and Nangong Hui stood guard at the stone door.

Chen Taixu was napping under a nearby tree.

When they caught a whiff of the medicinal fragrance wafting from the alchemy chamber, they were instantly invigorated.

They had no clue what kind of pill Xiao Yang was refining.

Soon, a devouring force gradually emerged within the alchemy chamber.

All the spiritual energy in the secret realm began to converge into the alchemy chamber.

The gathering array was operational.

Before long, the energy from the Underground Spiritual Veins was also drawn in.

At this moment, the Divine Jade Profound Fire Immortal Furnace was floating in mid-air, surrounded by radiant spiritual light as the medicinal power inside began to concentrate, about to form pills.

At this point, Xiao Yang was drenched in sweat.

He was pushing the Divine Jade Profound Fire Immortal Furnace to its limits.

The spiritual light in the furnace began to coalesce into shiny, translucent pills.

This was the final step of pill refining: pill formation!

The success or failure all depended on this moment.
