"Du Family?"

Old Zhuang thought for a moment and said, "Is it the Alchemy Du Family within fifty miles of the outer city?"

"Yes, before, the Du Family closely collaborated with our Dao Guang, and most of the first-tier and second-tier Pills were purchased from the Du Family."

Qingdie nodded.

Although Dao Guang has its own alchemists, the supply is inadequate.

So they sought external cooperation, and within fifty miles of the outer city, the Du Family was the best partner.

Over the years, they have contributed countless pills to Dao Guang. Although the tier is low, it cannot be denied that they have stockpiled for Dao Guang.

And whenever Dao Guang had events, they would invite this partner.

Today, the Du Family's quinquennial Pill Flame Society was about to begin, and Dao Guang also needed to attend to confirm their cooperative friendship with the Du Family.

"We've been cooperating with the Du Family for five years, so since the Du Family is an alchemy family, why not give them five low-grade medicinals cauldrons?"

Old Zhuang muttered.

"Yes, five low-grade medicinal cauldrons are within the reasonable range."

Qingdie nodded, as the cooperation over these five years with the Du Family brought Dao Guang fame and wealth.

Five low-grade medicinal cauldrons value thousands of Supreme Grade Spirit Stones, and giving them is also safe.

Just as Old Zhuang was about to speak, the flames inside the Purple Gold Cauldron began to extinguish, and a whiff of medicinal fragrance wafted out from inside.

Soon after, a golden shimmering pill flew out.

"Good! Another Supreme-Grade-looking pill!"

Seeing this, Qingdie couldn't help but feel envious again.

Because the pills refined by Xia Liu were never ordinary goods,

the pills he refined these days were almost entirely sold out.

For example, the second-tier Spirit Protection Stone Elixir, the main effect of which was to stabilize and solidify the Spiritual Energy within the body.

Even a cultivator at the sixth layer of Qi Cultivation could use a Supreme-Grade-looking second-tier Spirit Protection Stone Elixir.

So the price rose, and Supreme-Grade-looking pills started to become popular in Dao Guang.

Every day, a large number of cultivators would come to place orders.

However, Qingdie knew the hardships of alchemy, so she accepted only fifteen orders a day.

She ignored all the others, no matter who came; they had to wait in line.

"Miss, the Pill Flame Society you're talking about, is it managed by Family Head Du Feixiong of the Du Family?"

Xia Liu smiled slightly, for he remembered why he had come here.

It was all due to Du Yan.

So much time had passed, and he didn't know how Du Yu was doing.

"Yes, yes, it's Family Head Du Feixiong. Senior Xia, are you acquainted with someone from the Du Family?"

Qingdie asked with anticipation.

"You could say I'm acquainted, but I have only one friend in the Du Family."

"Hehehe, that's great. How about this, when the Du Family's Pill Flame Society begins, we will go together."

Qingdie displayed an enchanting smile.

Xia Liu was now Dao Guang's alchemist ace, and the pills he refined had already become explosive across half of the Thousand Mechanisms City.

Many people outside were discussing what terrifying alchemy talent could refine Supreme-Grade-looking pills.

If Xia Liu's identity was revealed, Qingdie was sure, countless cultivators in the Thousand Mechanisms City would revere him.

To become friends with an alchemist who could refine Supreme-Grade-looking pills was unimaginably wonderful.

"The Du Family's Pill Flame Society in five days, huh..."

Xia Liu fell into deep thought, considering what kind of manner he should use to enter the Du Family then…

"Yes, yes, it's five days from now."

"You might be disappointed, Miss, but I can't accompany you."

Xia Liu replied, knowing that going together with Qingdie would certainly ruin many things.

He couldn't forget Du Yan's ruthless and treacherous ways.

In dealing with siblings and fathers, she must be taught a lesson.

"Uh, uh, it's fine, it's fine."

Although Qingdie was a bit disappointed, she thought being able to see Xia Liu at the Pill Flame Society was inevitable.

After all, he had a friend in the Du Family.

"I wonder what gift Senior Xia intends to send; I can prepare it for you."

"My gift is rather special and needs my personal effort, but thank you for your kindness, Miss."

"Oh, oh, it's fine to prepare it yourself. If there's nothing else, I'll go check the site. Those cultivators would go crazy to buy the pills you've refined."

After speaking, Qingdie picked up the pills Xia Liu refined yesterday and left.

"Sigh..."

After Qingdie left, Old Zhuang couldn't help but sigh.

"Senior Zhuang, how much do you know about the Du Family?"

Xia Liu did not rush to refine the listed pills but consulted Old Zhuang instead.

This time, going to the Du Family, he would bring them a surprising gift.

"Ah, the Du Family, I suppose I have a rough understanding."

Recalling carefully, Old Zhuang believed if Xia Liu brought up any uncertainties about the Du Family, he could answer about seventy to eighty percent.

"What's the highest tier of alchemist currently in the Du Family?"

"The highest alchemists would naturally be Family Head Du Feixiong and Great Elder Du En, third-tier alchemists!"

"Hmm! They're third-tier alchemists!"

Xia Liu was surprised by this result.

Who would have thought the Du Family had two third-tier alchemists?

"Indeed, if these two Daoist fellows reached the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation, they could have relocated their residence to the main city by now, alas."

Old Zhuang couldn't deny, compared with Du Feixiong and Du En, he fell far behind in the field of alchemy.

Unfortunately, the Du Family had no cultivators at the fifteenth layer of Qi Cultivation, even if the City Lord of Thousand Mechanisms wanted to promote them, it wouldn't convince the public.

"Understood, thank you, Senior Zhuang, for the information."

"Daoist Fellow Xia, what do you intend to do? Do you need assistance?"

Old Zhuang asked.

"No need for that; I have my own plans."

"Alright then, for the time being, you will..."

"Continue refining pills."

...

Without waiting for Old Zhuang to speak, Xia Liu entered into serious mode.

According to the pill prescriptions on the list, he searched for materials.

Old Zhuang said nothing.

Now with Soul Renewal Pill and Pill Restoring Pill, Xia Liu was almost invincible, enduring day and night without feeling fatigue or other issues.

However, continuing like this with his current cultivation could make his foundation unstable.

Because there were no cases seen before, Old Zhuang couldn't say much.

The impression Xia Liu gave was of being insane, very insane.

Perhaps achieving his current cultivation was closely related to his madness.

Few young people could achieve what he did.

In the time that followed, Xia Liu continued alchemically crazed.

After refining the designated pills each day, he would refine some ordinary second-tier pills.

The success rate was seventy percent.

Old Zhuang secretly hoarded the excess pills Xia Liu refined, not letting Qingdie discover immediately.

If Qingdie knew Xia Liu was disregarding his foundation, refining day and night, she would surely force him to rest.

There were also some ideas from Xia Liu.

Old Zhuang followed one by one.

The most Xia Liu refined were Pill Restoring Pills and Soul Renewal Pills.

Two days before the Du Family's Pill Flame Society, Xia Liu continued refining pills that evening.

When one Soul Renewal Pill was completed, Xia Liu swallowed it in one go. After restoring some Divine Sense, he turned to look at Old Zhuang: "Senior Zhuang, you should have a third-tier pill prescription, right?"
