Watching the Wolf King leave, Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then swooped down, landed next to Yan Nanshan, and said, "Uncle Yan, I need your help with something."

"What is it?" Yan Nanshan was puzzled.

The disciples of the Holy Temple around him all looked at Qin Feiyang, some in fear, some in awe.

Qin Feiyang glanced at them and whispered, "I have a few pill fires; I need your help to erase the Blood Covenants within them."

"How many?" Yan Nanshan looked surprised and whispered, "Where are the pill fires?"

"In the ancient castle."

Qin Feiyang waved his hand and led Yan Nanshan into the ancient castle.

Fatty was still sorting medicinal herbs. Lu Hong and the Mountain Piercing Beast were in secluded cultivation.

Seeing Yan Nanshan come in, Fatty and Lu Hong immediately stood up and paid their respects.

"So many medicinal herbs?" Seeing the medicinal herbs strewn all over the floor, Yan Nanshan was dumbfounded. The air was filled with a rich medicinal fragrance.

"This is just a small part," Fatty chuckled.

"A small part?" Yan Nanshan was startled. He shook his head helplessly, then turned to look at the Netherworld Demon Flame.

At that very moment, his eyes popped! Next to the Netherworld Demon Flame, there were six clusters of pill fires.

Yan Nanshan turned to look at Qin Feiyang, gulping. He struggled to ask, "Didn't you say there were only three types? How are there so many?"

Qin Feiyang waved his hand. Two clusters of fire flew over, and he laughed, "These two are just First-Rank pill fires; the Blood Covenants have already been erased."

Initially, the leaders of the three major tribes near White Fox City had given him their pill fires. But only one was of the second grade, which had already been devoured by the Netherworld Demon Flame. He also hadn't returned the remaining two First-Rank pill fires to them. After all, even a First-Rank pill fire was very valuable.

"First-Rank?" Yan Nanshan was startled. He looked at the other four pill fires and asked, "What grade are they?"

"One is of second grade, and the remaining three are of Third Grade," Qin Feiyang said.

The second grade pill fire came from the Xu Tribe. The three Third Grade pill fires naturally came from the three super tribes.

"Second grade pill fire... Third Grade pill fire..." Yan Nanshan was speechless. Any one of these pill fires could be considered a once-in-a-century rarity. Yet, in just seven months, this kid had obtained so many?

He shivered, then turned to look at Qin Feiyang seriously and said, "Tell me honestly, where did you snatch these pill fires from?"

"From an ancient ruin," Qin Feiyang said.

"Ancient ruin?" Yan Nanshan was surprised.

"That ancient ruin was full of pill fires," Fatty chimed in with a sigh. "There was even a Sixth Grade pill fire! Unfortunately, we weren't strong enough to seize it."

"Sixth Grade!" Yan Nanshan's heart roiled with shock. In Spirit State, even a Fifth Grade pill fire was the stuff of legends, practically unattainable, let alone a Sixth Grade one. What kind of ancient ruin could possess even a Sixth Grade pill fire?

"Uncle Yan, I'll tell you the details later. Quickly help me erase the Blood Covenants," Qin Feiyang urged, sounding impatient.

"Alright." Yan Nanshan nodded, composed himself, and unleashed his Battle Intent, surging towards those four pill fires.

「At the same time!」

In the Land of Oblivion, the High Priests of the three super tribes, as well as the High Priest of the Xu Tribe, all suddenly vomited blood!

"The Blood Covenant on the pill fire has been erased!"

"Qin Feiyang, I will kill you sooner or later!"

Four angry roars echoed through the sky.

「Inside the ancient castle.」

Yan Nanshan recalled his Battle Intent and laughed, "They're all erased."

The moment the Blood Covenants disappeared, waves of intense heat surged outwards. Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and his Battle Intent flared. Instantly, a Battle Intent barrier appeared, protecting the Mountain Piercing Beast, Lu Hong, and Fatty.

Simultaneously, the Netherworld Demon Flame automatically revived, pouncing towards the cluster of second grade pill fire.

"Huh?" Yan Nanshan was stunned. What's happening now?

Qin Feiyang smiled, "Uncle Yan, the Netherworld Demon Flame can devour other pill fires to upgrade its grade."

"How is that possible?" Yan Nanshan exclaimed in utter disbelief.

Soon, the second grade pill fire was completely consumed by the Netherworld Demon Flame. The aura of the Netherworld Demon Flame intensified, successfully promoting it to a Third Grade pill fire!

"It can really upgrade?" Yan Nanshan was astounded. After contending with Zuo An for so many years, he thought he understood the Netherworld Demon Flame somewhat. He'd never heard of this ability!

Next, the Netherworld Demon Flame began to devour the three Third Grade pill fires. After a short while, the three Third Grade pill fires vanished without a trace, and the Netherworld Demon Flame's aura rose another grade.

At the same time, eight large characters flashed through Qin Feiyang's mind: Fourth rank pill fire, Netherworld Demon Flame!

Fatty anxiously asked, "Boss, how did it go?"

"It worked," Qin Feiyang nodded.

"Haha..." Fatty laughed heartily. "With your alchemy talent, Boss, a fourth rank pill fire means you can definitely refine pills with three Elixir Patterns! Though it might not compare to the Flame of Heavenly Thunder, it's absolutely unique in Spirit State!"

"What's the Flame of Heavenly Thunder?" Yan Nanshan was puzzled.

Fatty smirked. "That's the Sixth Grade pill fire we were just talking about. With the Flame of Heavenly Thunder, Boss can refine pills with five Elixir Patterns."

"Five patterns!" Yan Nanshan's eyes widened in shock. So Qin Feiyang's cultivation had skyrocketed five minor realms because of a Nine-Bend Yellow Dragon Pill with five Elixir Patterns? This brat… his feats were enough to shock a person to death!

Qin Feiyang smiled, pointing to the two Pill Furnaces on the altar. "Uncle Yan, please help me erase their Blood Covenants too."

These were the Pill Furnaces of the Black Tortoise Tribe and the Purple Sun Tribe. Yan Nanshan looked over and discovered they were two Third Grade Pill Furnaces!

"Incredible!" he exclaimed in admiration. His Battle Intent surged, instantly obliterating the Blood Covenants.

Qin Feiyang also sliced open his finger, dripping blood to claim ownership. A stream of information rushed into his mind.

Third Grade Pill Furnace, Nine Yang Cauldron! Third Grade Pill Furnace, Qingyuan Cauldron!

He immediately began alchemy with the Pill Furnaces. In just a few hundred breaths, he had mastered their heat control and successfully refined a healing pill. It indeed had three Elixir Patterns!

"Let me see!" Yan Nanshan's eyes burned with curiosity.

Qin Feiyang passed it to him. Yan Nanshan snatched it, examining it from every angle. Amazing! This was the first time in his life he'd seen a top-grade pill with three Elixir Patterns.

Qin Feiyang then took out three Potential Elixirs and two Potential Pills, all with five Elixir Patterns, and handed them to Yan Nanshan.

Then he asked, "Uncle Yan, do the people in State City still not know that I can refine pills with two Elixir Patterns?"

"Indeed, they don't." Yan Nanshan put away the pills and smiled. "But everyone is speculating that those Vermilion Glazed Pills with two Elixir Patterns that the Treasure Pavilion auctioned last time were all refined by you."

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then left the ancient castle with Yan Nanshan.

Yan Nanshan continued rebuilding the martial arts arena. Qin Feiyang opened a portal and returned directly to Alchemy Room No. 2. With Lu Ziyuan dead, the Blood Covenant on the Pill Furnace there had automatically dissolved. Without hesitation, he dripped his blood onto it, claiming it as his own.

He then closeted himself away, focusing solely on alchemy.

「Meanwhile!」

"Breaking news! Breaking news!"

"Qin Feiyang, missing for seven months, has made a powerful comeback!"

"Not only did he deal with the four major families, but he also suppressed all the top talents of the Holy Temple!"

"Even the Dong Family's ancestor, the Family Head of the Dong Family, and Dong Qing, the favored prodigy of the Inner Hall, were all crippled by him!"

"Steward Dong, Dong Cheng, and Lu Ziyuan were publicly executed by him!"

"Lu Xingchen also suffered a major defeat at his hands!"

"He even admitted that he was the one who refined the Potential Elixir!"

"Most importantly, it was the Dong Family who first tried to eliminate him outside the city, which is why he killed Dong Zheng!"

"We've all misunderstood him for these past seven months!"

These reports spread like wildfire throughout State City. Everyone who heard them was shocked speechless. His sudden reappearance was like that of a dark horse, causing a massive sensation. It seemed no one could stop his rise!

Compared to the bustling activity outside, an oppressive atmosphere hung over the Dong Family. Despair, grief, and anger permeated every corner. The Dong Family owed its current status to its ancestor, a supreme overlord at the War Ancestor level. Old Monster Dong was the pillar supporting everyone in the Dong Family. But now, Old Monster Dong's cultivation had been crippled; the pillar had collapsed. This also signified that the Dong Family's era of glory had come to an end. What's worse, the Treasure Pavilion had also blacklisted the Dong Family, rubbing salt in their wounds.

At this moment, everyone in the Dong Family, from the Clan Elders down to the servants, was terrified.

The Lu Family was also consumed by grief and fury. Lu Ziyuan had been exceptionally talented in both alchemy and martial arts. It could be said his future potential was limitless. His death was an undeniable and significant loss for the Lu Family.

As for the Zheng Family and the Wang Family, upon hearing this news, a profound sense of fear washed over them. In the past, when Qin Feiyang was still relatively weak, his schemes alone had nearly pushed their two families to the brink. And now? This man and his wolf possessed strength fully comparable to their families. With the Treasure Pavilion backing him, did they even have a way out? If only they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have colluded with the Lu Family these past few months!

「Late at night.」

The waning moon hung high in the sky, and cold stars twinkled. Qin Feiyang finally stepped out of the alchemy room. But as soon as he opened the door, he saw six figures standing outside: Ho Shan, Jia Gao, and the other four young men and women with Ninth Level spiritual power.

Qin Feiyang was taken aback and asked in confusion, "What are you doing standing here?"

Jia Gao forced a fawning smile. "We're here to apologize to you, Senior Brother Qin."

"Apologize for what?" Qin Feiyang feigned ignorance.

The six of them shivered inwardly. How could someone as astute as Qin Feiyang not know? He was clearly making things difficult for them on purpose.

Ho Shan pleaded, "Senior Brother Qin, please be magnanimous. Don't lower yourself to our level, alright?"

"In your eyes, am I not just a little mutt?" Qin Feiyang teased.

"No, no, no! We misspoke! We were thoughtless!" Ho Shan's and Jia Gao's expressions changed. They quickly knelt, begging incessantly. The other four also wore ingratiating expressions.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the six of them and said lightly, "It's not impossible for me to forgive you. But there's something I need you to handle for me."

"Please tell us, Senior Brother Qin! We'll definitely do it!" the six exclaimed, overjoyed.

"Don't get excited too soon," Qin Feiyang said. "You might not be able to do it."

"We guarantee we can!" the six of them vowed earnestly.

A cold glint flashed in Qin Feiyang's eyes. "Alright then. From now on, disappear forever. Never appear before me again!"

"What?" The six of them froze. Wasn't this the same as telling them to leave the Holy Temple?

"This is the greatest concession I can make. The choice is yours." With that, Qin Feiyang leaped down, landed at the bottom of the courtyard, and strode away.

"He's gone too far!"

"Does he really think he's some big shot?"

"Let's go! We'll find Elder Lv and report him!"

The six left the Elixir Fire Palace in a huff and hurried towards Lv Yun's residence.
