Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 162: Mi Xiaojing's potential

Wang Weijun thought about it and agreed. Both of them were overthinking. The refining of the Divine Pill had nothing to do with Mi Xiaojing. Even if it was successfully refined, the Spirit Pill would not be given to Mi Xiaojing.

The reason why the elders let Mi Xiaojing try alchemy was out of a fluke mentality, hoping to obtain the Divine Pill. Of course, it didn't matter if they couldn't get the Spirit Pill. As long as they saw Mi Xiaojing's potential, it would be considered a success.

Understanding this, Mi Xiaojing said, "Then I'll try alchemy. I'll go talk to Yong Ji."

Wang Weijun nodded and said, "Alright, be careful. Those guys are quite powerful."

Mi Xiaojing went to the front yard and found Zhang Ke. He said, "I'm going to refine pills. Watch the house and don't go out for now. I should be back soon."

Zhang Ke said, "Don't worry, Xiaojing. I'll take care of everything."

Mi Xiaojing said, "I'm going to find Elder Yong Ji. We'll go to the Pill Room together."

Zhang Ke said, "I'll go inform them."

Yong Ji had already come out of his room. With his cultivation level, he could sense any movement. Hearing the conversation, he came out of his room and smiled, "Going to refine pills?"

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "I'll give it a try. I don't know what will happen." He didn't have any confidence in his heart. With his cultivation level, it would be really difficult to overcome the challenges.

Yong Ji was overjoyed. He knew some inside information and understood how difficult it was to refine the Divine Pill. He said, "Wait a moment, I'll inform the master." He quickly sent out a paper owl with the message.

The two of them then left, flying towards the Grass-Benevolence Hall on Qingmu Peak.

The speed of sword flight was extremely fast. In just a few minutes, they landed in front of the huge cave where the alchemy was conducted. There were still low-level cultivators guarding the entrance. Seeing them, and noticing Yong Ji's attire, they immediately knew his high status and quickly bowed in respect.

Mi Xiaojing recognized these low-level cultivators guarding the entrance. When they saw Mi Xiaojing, they also showed respect. However, Mi Xiaojing knew that in their hearts, they were not only respectful, but also envious and jealous.

Yong Ji, with an expressionless face, didn't respond to the low-level cultivators. He gestured for Mi Xiaojing to go in first. The low-level cultivators were shocked. The Foundation Establishment Ancestor was actually letting Mi Xiaojing go first. What kind of etiquette was this?

And Mi Xiaojing didn't refuse, he just walked in.

Not long after the two of them entered, another person landed at the entrance. The cultivators guarding the entrance immediately knelt down. Kneeling was not a cultivator's etiquette, but the aura of the person who landed was too overwhelming, and the cultivators guarding the entrance couldn't resist.

This person was Mo Chentian, the Sect Leader, a cultivator in the Elemental Infant stage.

The cultivators guarding the entrance watched as Mo Chentian disappeared into the cave entrance, each of them feeling a lingering fear. Before they could stand up, two more people descended from the sky.

Thud! They knelt again.

This time, it was the Azure Descent Immortal Maiden and Mu Hengyuan. The cultivators guarding the entrance were shocked, wondering why all the elders of the sect had come.

The last to arrive was Elder Yu Hong. The cultivators guarding the entrance simply didn't get up, they just knelt there. Their legs were weak, they couldn't stand.

It was only after the four Elemental Infant stage elders had been inside for a long time that the cultivators managed to stand up in a disheveled manner. Their faces were pale. One of them whispered, "That was scary. Why couldn't I stand?"

"Idiot, of course you couldn't stand. Those are the most powerful elders of our sect. One look from them could kill you."

"Is something going to happen today?"

"Stop talking nonsense. We just need to guard the entrance. We can't ask about anything else."

Yu Hong and the others quickly arrived at the alchemy hall deep within the cave. After entering, Yu Hong immediately set up a restriction to prevent outsiders from disturbing them. Then they entered the alchemy hall.

Four Elemental Infant stage elders, plus a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, Yong Ji, were standing in the alchemy hall. The pressure was immense. Mi Xiaojing asked, "Are the materials ready?"

Yu Hong said, "They're ready, but there aren't many."

Mi Xiaojing said, "I'm just trying it out. There are two key points that I can't solve and need your help."

Yu Hong said, "Just say it, we'll support you with all our strength."

Mi Xiaojing said, "There are two points that need support. One is the control of the earth fire, and the other is the control during the condensing and foundation establishment of the elixir. My cultivation level is not enough to handle these two steps. If I force it, the failure rate is almost 100%."

The faces of the four elders showed shock. Even the usually cold Azure Descent Immortal Maiden couldn't help but say, "So, if your cultivation level was sufficient, you would be confident in refining the Divine Pill?"

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "If my cultivation level was sufficient, I should be able to refine the Divine Pill."

Yu Hong said, "If I didn't know your true nature, I would think you were a reincarnated alchemy master. It's incredible. Alright, tell us what you need us to do."

The method Mi Xiaojing was using to refine the Divine Pill was not from the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture, but another method given to him by Wang Weijun.

If he used the method recorded in the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture, the quality of the Divine Pill would be much higher. Unfortunately, Mi Xiaojing couldn't understand it.

Although there was a difference in the two alchemy methods, it didn't stop Mi Xiaojing from boasting. He now understood that only by showing his value would others value him. Otherwise, he would be ignored like the cultivators guarding the entrance of the alchemy hall.

Mi Xiaojing explained the steps of alchemy in detail. The four Elemental Infant stage elders couldn't help but frown. It was not only extremely complex, but also required meticulous control. Among the four of them, only Mu Hengyuan could barely give it a try. The others simply couldn't.

After asking a few more details, Mu Hengyuan sighed and said, "I can only give it a try. It's really difficult."

Yu Hong said, "No matter how difficult, we have to try. Whether we succeed or not, we won't be satisfied if we don't try!"

He didn't blame Mi Xiaojing. The idea of a Foundation Establishment cultivator trying to refine a Divine Pill, which was used by Elemental Infant cultivators, was a joke in itself.Yu Hong and the others had a clear understanding in their hearts. Foundation Establishment stage was just that, even if Mi Xiaojing had recently reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, it was impossible for him to reach the level of refining the Divine Pill. The fact that he could perform to this extent already demonstrated the boy's potential.

Mi Xiaojing's potential was something they all highly admired. His talent and comprehension were absolutely the treasures of the sect, making him the most worthy seed elite to cultivate.

Therefore, whether he failed or succeeded was no longer that important. The most important thing was to let Mi Xiaojing grow.

Once Mi Xiaojing grew up, he would be the pillar of the sect, capable of supporting the entire sect. If the sect didn't cultivate such a person, who would?
