Back Mountain of Celestial One Daoist Sect.

The people from the Celestial Splendor Sect and the Great Dream Immortal Sect had all rushed over. It was also their first time realizing that such a sanctuary, secluded from the world, existed within this Demon Beast Forest.

The Fifth Elder of the Great Dream Immortal Sect seemed to sense something. Staring towards the coastline, he said solemnly, "The aura of the Sea Race is very strong. It seems they've already started fighting over there!"

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader Sun also immediately began to make arrangements.

"Ruyan, you lead the injured disciples into the Profound Yellow Sect first. Kong Qingquan, you stay behind to help."

"Zhao Qixian, you come with us to the seaside. The Sea Race is attacking fiercely this time. We absolutely cannot let them slaughter the people of the Profound Yellow Sect."

"Members of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, I implore you to join us. Otherwise, the Profound Yellow Sect will also be eradicated."

"Everyone, board the Tower Ship immediately! We are going to the seaside to help!"

At once, all disciples from the Celestial Splendor Sect and the Great Dream Immortal Sect boarded the Tower Ship, heading towards the seaside.

Kong Qingquan watched them go, his brow deeply furrowed. If even these individuals cannot stop the threat, then I fear the Great Qian Dynasty may truly cease to exist.

"Follow me to the Profound Yellow Sect."

Kong Qingquan turned and said, "I hope the Profound Yellow Sect still has Herbal Medicine. We must stabilize your injuries as soon as possible."

What? Herbal Medicine?! Is the Profound Yellow Sect *still* using Herbal Medicine for healing up to now? They're all Cultivators! Shouldn't they be consuming Elixirs or Spirit Grass when injured? Can something like Herbal Medicine even be effective?

Momentarily, all the injured disciples were fraught with concern.

Xu Qing of the Great Dream Immortal Sect was also injured. Upon hearing Kong Qingquan's words, her initial curiosity about the Profound Yellow Sect was instantly shattered. A faction that uses Herbal Medicine has actually made it this far; that's already quite something. What a pity. The Spiritual Qi here is so thin that even a lifetime of cultivation would likely not be enough to reach the Golden Core Realm. That Sect Leader Xu is certainly fortunate to have cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm here.

They didn't yet know that Xu Nian had already reached the Divinity Transformation Realm, nor did they know the true state of the Profound Yellow Sect.

Kong Qingquan listened to their conversations but didn't say much more. After all, they were all people of the Great Qian Dynasty, and managing to reach this point hadn't been easy.

Everyone followed Kong Qingquan to the Teleportation Array at the entrance of Taibai Hall.

When Xu Qing noticed this Teleportation Array, a peculiar look entered her eyes. Which Array Grandmaster devised this? To ingeniously overlap numerous small arrays, leveraging the small to achieve something great, and forcefully create such a novel Teleportation Array... Moreover, judging by its condition, this Teleportation Array's stability is exceptionally good. Even the Great Dream Immortal Sect, renowned for its mastery of array formations, probably has no one capable of inscribing such a Teleportation Array.

"This is a Teleportation Array? This ghostly place actually has a Teleportation Array?"

"Could this Teleportation Array be the gateway to the Profound Yellow Sect?"

"They managed to construct a Teleportation Array? They must have expended all the resources of the entire Sect, right?"

"What a pity. To spend all their resources constructing such a Teleportation Array is too wasteful."

Kong Qingquan glanced back at the few disciples who were chattering idly.

Noticing Kong Qingquan's disapproving gaze, those disciples all lowered their heads. Although Kong Qingquan had joined the Sect late, his Realm advancement was the fastest, and he even possessed a once-in-a-millennium Talent. Such a person was not someone these junior disciples could afford to provoke.

Liu Ruyan said with a smile, "I wanted to visit the Profound Yellow Sect the last time I was here. This is a good opportunity to finally go."

She was very curious about this Xu Nian. So curious, in fact, that the Profound Yellow Sect itself had also caught her attention.

Kong Qingquan said nothing more but took the lead in stepping into the Teleportation Array.

The others followed closely behind, all eager to see just how destitute this Profound Yellow Sect truly was.

Yet, when they stepped out of the Teleportation Array and appeared on the square before the Profound Yellow Sect's Great Hall, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

"My heavens, is this the Profound Yellow Sect?"

"How is this possible? How can the Spiritual Qi here be so dense? It's even reached the point of Spiritual Qi Liquification!"

"These puddles underfoot... surely they aren't formed by liquefied Spiritual Qi? My heavens! The Spiritual Qi within the Profound Yellow Sect is actually this dense! Even all the Spirit Gathering Arrays of our Celestial Splendor Sect combined can't compare!"

"I've broken through! I've finally advanced to the Golden Core Realm! HAHAHAHA!"

"How is this possible? My severed arm... it's actually starting to heal! I can even feel it about to regrow! This is definitely not something ordinary Spiritual Qi can achieve!"

The disciples of the Celestial Splendor Sect, who had been so disdainful just moments before, were now astounded by the dense Spiritual Qi within the Profound Yellow Sect. They had never imagined that the Spiritual Qi inside the Profound Yellow Sect could be so abundant.

If one could cultivate here for a year, wouldn't breaking through to the Golden Core Realm be a breeze? And if they cultivated for even longer, wouldn't attaining higher Realms also be possible?

Even Xu Qing, an Inner Sect Disciple from the Great Dream Immortal Sect, couldn't help but circulate her Cultivation Technique and begin absorbing the Spiritual Qi. The Spiritual Qi here was even denser than that of their Great Dream Immortal Sect. Even she hadn't expected such a situation. The mysteriousness of the Profound Yellow Sect far exceeded her imagination.

Kong Qingquan was also dumbfounded when he emerged. Is this the Profound Yellow Sect? Xu Nian, you sly rascal! Possessing such a treasure trove, no wonder you weren't willing to go to the Celestial Splendor Sect. The meager Spiritual Qi at the Celestial Splendor Sect is utter crap compared to this! I regret it! If I'd known earlier, I should have joined the Profound Yellow Sect. There was no need to go to that damn Celestial Splendor Sect! A scholar should indeed know how to adapt to circumstances!

"Huh? Where did you all come from?"

The Great Inventor, hearing the commotion outside, walked out carrying a Big Black Pot. He couldn't help but be taken aback by the crowd of people.

What's going on? Wait a minute! Isn't that Kong Qingquan in the azure Confucian robe? What's he doing here?

"Mr. Kong, what brings you to our Profound Yellow Sect?" the Great Inventor asked, looking at him with puzzlement.

Kong Qingquan and his group, seeing that there were people from the Profound Yellow Sect, also looked over. However, some individuals simply sat down on the spot and began to brazenly absorb the area's Spiritual Qi.

The Great Inventor looked somewhat familiar to Kong Qingquan; he figured he must be one of the disciples he had met on a previous visit.

"We've come from the Celestial Splendor Sect to lend a hand!" Kong Qingquan explained the Celestial Splendor Sect's situation and also mentioned the matter of the Sea Race.

After understanding, the Great Inventor nodded. "In that case, just wait here for now. You can talk to Brother Xu when he gets back. Brother Xu doesn't usually allow outsiders in, so please don't wander off, alright?"

With that, he walked over to one side with his Big Black Pot and, manipulating fire elemental incantations, began his work.

Xu Qing looked on curiously and asked, "Big Brother, what are you doing?"

The Great Inventor looked somewhat advanced in years, so she addressed him as 'Big Brother'.

"Alchemy!" the Great Inventor replied without lifting his head, then tossed the prepared Spiritual Medicine into the pot, poured in some Spiritual Water, and covered it with a lid.

Alchemy?

Everyone was startled by his words. Shouldn't Alchemy be done with an alchemy cauldron? What's the meaning of using a Big Black Pot? Are you sure you're not just stewing a pot of Spiritual Medicine?

Just then, three players ran out from a Room. Paying no attention to the people outside, they excitedly approached the Great Inventor.

"I've done the calculations! With my ratio, Alchemy efficiency can be doubled!"

"His calculations are flawed! Inventor, look at my process. From the weight of the Spirit Grass to the amount of water added, my calculations are absolutely precise, down to the last detail!"

"Precise, my foot! Your equations are the ones that are flawed! *My* Alchemy equation is the most perfect!"

The three men bickered fiercely, as though they might start a fight at any moment.

The Great Inventor continued to control the fire while examining their equations.

Hmm... I can't understand a thing! These three were math prodigies among the players. Ever since they joined the ranks of alchemists, they'd gone completely mad, arguing incessantly every day. None of them respected the Alchemy equations written by the others. To actually mathematize Alchemy... only these three could probably do it. People who are good at math truly are lunatics.

"Why don't you each find a pot and try it yourselves?" the Great Inventor said, focusing on his own Big Black Pot. "Don't interrupt my attempt to create new Elixirs. I have a feeling the Elixir I'm concocting this time will significantly reduce resource consumption."

The three men paused, then came around to the idea. That's right. The Great Inventor isn't a math prodigy, so why bother showing him? They calculated the equations themselves; shouldn't they just try applying them to find out?

"My method for refining the Cultivating Essence Pill is absolutely foolproof! If anything goes wrong, I'll 'die' on the spot!"

"Hmph! As if anyone here is afraid to 'die'!"

"What I'm refining is a Realm-Breaking Pill! It allows for a direct breakthrough to the next Realm!"

The three continued to argue, then went straight to find their own Big Black Pots to start their journey in Alchemy.

Xu Qing watched these individuals, the corner of her mouth twitching slightly. Are the people of this Profound Yellow Sect all a bit touched in the head? Must one really use a pot for Alchemy?

Despite her thoughts, she naturally wouldn't say these things out loud. Instead, she reached over and picked up the sheets of paper the Great Inventor had left beside him, staring at the dense calculations on them.

What in the world is all this? I can't understand any of it! Are these some kind of symbols used in Alchemy? I've never heard of Alchemy requiring such things!

"Mr. Kong, please keep an eye on this for me. I need to use the Toilet. Remember to add water when the pot starts smoking, alright?" The Great Inventor suddenly stood up, gave Kong Qingquan these instructions, and then hurried off towards the Toilets.

This game is too realistic! Eating too much actually requires one to excrete, and sometimes it even causes diarrhea! What in the world! The Dung Beetles no longer rely on player excrement to make Stinky Tofu, so now the Toilets are getting a bit clogged. It seems Farmer's Three Punches has been slacking off; they clearly don't understand the importance of artificial fertilizer. Maybe I should build a Biogas Pool here? In the future, we might even be able to use biogas for Alchemy or Refining. Yes! As soon as the Sea Race Task is over, I'll immediately have someone build a Biogas Pool!
