Gang Qi was used as a guide to transform into a raging flame, stronger than many heavenly exotic flames.

Every step was pleasing to the eye, as if divinely created. The only observer beside him was the White Ape, who had been following Ning Qi to learn the Alchemy Dao since the previous year. Now, he had made some progress, and every time Ning Qi opened the furnace to refine an important pill, he would let him watch from the side.

The White Ape's eyes were full of admiration.

After a two-hour period.

The furnace opened, and the pill was successfully made.

Ning Qi felt at ease and carefree.

He looked at the twelve light purple pills inside the furnace, his eyes showing satisfaction. The unique fragrance of the pills filled the courtyard. If he hadn't shielded it, it might have already drifted far outside. Not only that, but when the pills were completed, a vague phenomenon appeared as if the Power of Heaven and Earth was roaring.

Without a doubt.

These were the highest level pills Ning Qi had ever refined.

"This pill can be called the Heaven-Reaching Pill, intended to make the Celestial Being Realm accessible!"

Ning Qi felt a bit sentimental.

Sometimes, using external objects can indeed significantly shorten cultivation time. He thought that if he had gone down the mountain to train right after initially forming his cultivation, seeking treasures along the way, he might have been stronger now.

But he had no regrets.

Going down the mountain carries risks, and he might fall halfway. Staying on the mountain for secluded cultivation and enlightenment, building step by step, better suited his path.

He picked up a Heaven-Reaching Pill and examined it closely.

The Blood Demon Flower and other such Spirit Medicines can be called unparalleled, rare to find in the world. Just one can greatly aid the Celestial Human Realm, let alone mixed together with Ning Qi's Alchemy Dao to integrate the essence.

The Demon Sect's large number of Celestial Realm experts are inseparable from the Blood Demon Flower, but those cultivated with the Blood Demon Flower primarily specialize in the Flower of Essence. Ning Qi found the cultivation method of the Blood Demon Flower in ancient texts, which goes against the harmony of heaven. This is one of the reasons the Great Yan identified it as the Demon Sect.

Dispelling miscellaneous thoughts, Ning Qi didn't hesitate.

He swallowed a Heaven-Reaching Pill.

In an instant, a tremendous medicinal power surged through his body, gentle and continuous, the Three Flowers trembled, more active than ever.

Ning Qi immediately activated the Dharma Method to begin refining the Three Flowers.

The astonishing efficiency made him intoxicated.

This was just inside the Seeking Tao Institute; if it were in High Heaven, the effect would be even greater!

After experiencing it, Ning Qi slowly opened his eyes. He had already estimated the time it would take him to reach the Celestial Being Perfection Realm.

"One Heaven-Reaching Pill can sustain my cultivation for ten days. In just three months, I can effortlessly achieve Three Flowers Perfection!"

Ning Qi was extremely satisfied.

It should be known that, even with the many Dharma Methods he created to expedite cultivation, it was originally estimated to take a year or two to reach Celestial Being Perfection. But now, this time has been greatly reduced.

"This way, there are three Heaven-Reaching Pills left. Based on the medicinal power sensed earlier, just one can bring an ordinary Celestial Realm to Perfection Realm, though it'll take them far more than ten days to fully assimilate this power, probably about a year."

"However, even so, compared to the long years spent painstakingly cultivating, this is still extremely short."

This is an unparalleled Treasure Pill never before seen in this world.

If it spreads to the Martial Realm, a storm of blood is sure to arise in an instant.

"Give one to Master, and leave the other two as reserves."

He wasn't worried about only having two being insufficient. By the time all senior and junior disciples reach the Celestial Realm, he might have already been able to refine even more powerful Treasure Pills. But the key lies in the rare materials.

These twelve Heaven-Reaching Pills have already exhausted the Demon Sect's years of accumulation.

To find such unparalleled Spirit Medicines again, there might only be a few forces as resourceful as the Demon Sect that could possess them.

...

Years passed at True Martial Mountain.

Everyone was cultivating diligently, just waiting for the day to astonish the world. Upon receiving the Heaven-Reaching Pill from Ning Qi, Taoist Longshan stood still for a long time, both gratified and ashamed, and finally took it with a heart full of complex emotions.

Everyone else was also working hard, from the Sect Leader to the disciples, all the same.

The threat from the Demon Sect and the Southern Border greatly diminished.

The True Martial Sect enjoyed a rare period of peace.

Yet during this time.

The Great Yan was constantly undercurrents.

The Demon Sect suffered a catastrophe, initially unbeknownst to the Southern Border, but as the hidden movements became more significant, they inevitably affected the Southern Border. When they found they couldn't contact the Demon Sect's upper echelons, they were startled to realize that something significant had happened to the Demon Sect!

In no time.

The Southern Border began swiftly retracting all activities in the Great Yan, leaving no remnants this time.

They were extremely apprehensive of the mysterious force that annihilated the Demon Sect.

According to various intelligence received, the Demon Sect was not eliminated by the Imperial Court. They just took advantage of the situation.

They intended to contact Lin Xueshuang, who had been overseeing the hunting of Exotic Beast Inner Cores in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, but discovered that unbeknownst to them, Lin Xueshuang, together with many of the core members of the Lin Clan, had vanished without a trace.

This naturally caused even greater alarm for the Southern Border.

They felt that there seemed to be an invisible hand manipulating everything behind the scenes.

And Lin Xueshuang naturally came to True Martial Mountain.

After receiving a message from her daughter, she deliberated for several days and finally decided to bring the Lin clan members to come.

"Lin Xueshuang, greets the True Man." The well-dressed lady in the long dress looked with slight surprise at the Taoist Longshan, whose aura was beyond her imagination. According to the information, this True Man Longshan had only been at the Celestial Realm for a few years, yet his aura was exceptionally powerful.

She secretly praised that this True Man Longshan was a genius, and so she even more acknowledged this family connection.

Taoist Longshan smiled warmly:

"Clan Leader Lin, there's no need for formality. We are now family. By rights, my unworthy fifth disciple should have come to ask for your daughter's hand formally, with a proper marriage proposal. But now that they're wed in private, I hope Clan Leader Lin does not take offense."

Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua stood embarrassed to the side, especially Lin Ruhua, who dared not meet Lin Xueshuang's gaze.

Indeed, matters had been handled hastily, forcing Lin Xueshuang to make many concessions.

Lin Xueshuang gave a soft snort before finally letting out a long sigh:

"True Man speaks too highly. From now on, there is no more Holy Sect or Demon Sect in this world. Lin Xueshuang is merely the clan leader of the Lin Clan, and in the future, we will reside in seclusion within the realm of True Martial Mountain, so I ask the True Man for some guidance."

The meaning was already clear: all past matters were set aside, she would establish a new Lin Clan with no connection to the Demon Sect.

Looking at her daughter and son-in-law, her face softened:

"As for them, as long as they are harmonious and joyful, everything else is trivial."

She had learned about the previous attack on them and affirmed Jiang Baishan's performance. In fact, barring the fact that he ran away with her daughter, Jiang Baishan had considerable talent and was destined for great achievements. Having such a talented individual as her son-in-law, she had no reason to be dissatisfied.

Especially after learning her daughter was with child, it was even more so.

Taoist Longshan's smile deepened.

"Thank you, Clan Leader Lin, for your understanding. But tradition must not be abandoned. Since you are here, we should set an auspicious date for a wedding ceremony for them."

Lin Xueshuang also nodded with a smile:

"Naturally, but given the circumstances, we shouldn't make it too grand. Our two families can just gather a few close friends."

Everyone looked at Jiang Baishan and Lin Ruhua with amusement.

The two were increasingly embarrassed, only murmuring softly:

"We'll leave everything to Master (Mother) to decide."

Lin Xueshuang shook her head with a smile, then continued:

"One more matter to confess to the True Man; I brought a guest up the mountain without your permission.."

Taoist Longshan hurriedly gestured:

"Clan Leader Lin, there's no need to be so formal."

Upon receiving the cue, Lin Xueshuang glanced outside the Bright Martial Pavilion and called out:

"Yiyi, come in."

Everyone looked on curiously.

Just then, a woman wearing a black veil stepped in slowly. Although veiled, her graceful and willow-like figure left no doubt she was a peerless beauty.
