Legend of the Transcendent

Chapter 163: Preparation stage

Mi Xiaojing was once a minor cultivator of the Western Evolutionary Sect, a fact they were all well aware of. However, they didn't take it seriously.

They were confident that the world of Evolutionary Immortality and that of Cultivation were completely different. The former was much more challenging, and as a child, they believed that Mi Xiaojing would make the right choice.

The world of Cultivators was where Mi Xiaojing truly belonged.

Mu Hengyuan sat on a rush cushion, carefully considering how to cooperate. Fortunately, he had previously worked with Chen Shouyi to refine the Profit and Loss Pill. Although they were unsuccessful, he gained a lot of experience and lessons.

Mi Xiaojing explained in great detail, as if he had refined the Divine Grain Pill before, which was incredible. All four of them had confirmed that Mi Xiaojing was neither reincarnated nor possessed by someone else. He was a standard mortal who had reached his current level through cultivation. His talent and potential were so impressive that they were all amazed.

After testing Mi Xiaojing's potential with the Ancient Tribulation Pill Scripture, Yu Hong did not hesitate to send Yong Ji to protect Mi Xiaojing. He was aware of what was happening in the sect, but he needed unity, especially when the Vast Gold Sect was constantly harassing and attacking them. The sect needed stability, so any conflicts had to be suppressed.

The materials for the Divine Grain Pill were hard to gather. After scouring the entire sect's storage, adding the collections of several Elemental Infant elders, and exchanging materials from various markets, they only managed to gather seven sets. Some of them were only recently completed.

This time, they gave Mi Xiaojing three complete sets of materials. In other words, if Mi Xiaojing could really refine the Divine Grain Pill, and achieve a 100% success rate, then three Divine Grain Pills should be produced.

Of course, this was just a hypothesis. These three sets of materials were just for Mi Xiaojing to practice. They didn't expect him to succeed. The four Elemental Infant elders had a simple idea: use three sets of materials to test Mi Xiaojing's real skill. If there was hope for success, but his cultivation level was not enough to refine the pill, it would prove that he could succeed in the future as long as they helped Mi Xiaojing improve his cultivation level.

One day, Mi Xiaojing would have the cultivation level and strength to refine the Divine Grain Pill. Although alchemy was difficult, improving one's strength was not too hard. This was their real goal.

Mu Hengyuan and Mi Xiaojing kept discussing. Even though he knew it was difficult to refine the Spirit Pill, he didn't relax at any step. As a cultivator of Mu Hengyuan's level, he was seriously discussing with a low-level cultivator like Mi Xiaojing. It was clear how much he valued the Divine Grain Pill.

The two of them discussed back and forth, revisiting each issue several times. During this, Mi Xiaojing also discussed a few points with Wang Weijun. Of course, even Mu Hengyuan, a high-level Elemental Infant, didn't know that Mi Xiaojing was also communicating with another super expert.

Yu Hong and the others sat on the side listening without interrupting. Although they were not good at alchemy, their knowledge was not lacking.

What shocked the three of them was that Mi Xiaojing was not at all inferior in his discussion with Mu Hengyuan. His broad knowledge and logical speech were simply incredible.

Mu Hengyuan was equally shocked. The more they discussed, the more he regarded Mi Xiaojing as an equal. This kid was simply a freak. How could he know so much?

If Chen Shouyi were compared with Mi Xiaojing, Chen Shouyi would be nothing. In terms of cultivation level, Chen Shouyi definitely surpassed Mi Xiaojing, but in terms of alchemy, Mi Xiaojing was far ahead.

The more Yu Hong and the others listened, the more shocked they were. But they were also ecstatic. Having such a genius in their sect was like a dream. They could almost foresee that with such a Pill Master, the Heart Sect could develop greatly if nothing unexpected happened.

They checked the details over and over again, and neither Mi Xiaojing nor Mu Hengyuan showed any impatience. They just wanted to cooperate well when refining the pill. If they could really reach a level of tacit understanding, they might be able to refine the Divine Grain Pill with the three sets of materials.

Then it was Mu Hengyuan's turn to assist Mi Xiaojing in processing the materials. Many materials couldn't be used immediately and had to be processed. When Mi Xiaojing started processing the materials under Wang Weijun's guidance, Mu Hengyuan truly realized the gap. Many of Mi Xiaojing's methods were ones he had never seen before.

His rare and profound magical techniques and incantations processed the materials quickly and well. For some materials, because Mi Xiaojing's strength and cultivation level were not enough, Mu Hengyuan had to do it himself. At this time, Mi Xiaojing showed another talent: when teaching, he spoke clearly and concisely, explaining each step clearly, making it easy for Mu Hengyuan to understand.

This credit actually belonged to Wang Weijun. With his previous cultivation level at the Unity stage, his understanding of these matters was beyond the comprehension of an Elemental Infant cultivator. Every word he said shocked Mu Hengyuan.

Such explanations were clear, easy to understand, and hit the core. Even Yu Hong and the others could understand. Without deep understanding, such words could not be spoken.

Yu Hong and the others were extremely impressed. Mi Xiaojing was just a cultivator in the late Foundation Establishment stage. If he grew up, what heights could he reach?

Yu Hong sent a message to Mo Chentian: "This kid is a genius. The sect must protect him!"

Mo Chentian slowly nodded and replied: "Yes, I didn't expect this little guy to give us such a surprise."

Azure Descent Immortal Maiden also joined the discussion: "It seems... there's hope for success?"

Yu Hong shook his head: "It's not that easy. But, I see hope, real hope!"

Yu Hong was very excited. He was a cultivator in the late Elemental Infant stage, just one step away from Great Perfection. Once he reached the Great Perfection stage, the importance of the Divine Grain Pill to him would be paramount.

Reaching the Great Perfection stage of the Elemental Infant was not difficult for Yu Hong, but he was not confident about advancing further. However, with the Divine Grain Pill, the difficulty would be greatly reduced, and he would see hope for advancement. This matter was very important to him, so how could he not take it seriously?

Some of the materials were processed by Mu Hengyuan under Mi Xiaojing's guidance, and some were processed by Mi Xiaojing himself. Just processing the materials took two days.During this period, except for Mo Chentian who had gone out a few times, everyone else sat by and watched. After all, Mo Chentian was the Sect Leader, and there were many matters that he had to handle.

Mi Xiaojing asked, "Senior, shall we start the alchemy?"

Mu Hengyuan nodded and said, "Alright, let's refine the first batch of pills and see how the coordination goes."

Yu Hong and the others also perked up, feeling an indescribable anticipation in their hearts. Perhaps it was because the two of them had been so serious before, giving a sense of reliability, which made Yu Hong and the others feel that maybe they could really succeed?

Wishing everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, may your family be full of happiness and joy. Old Xiao is here to give gifts—

Up to this day, thank you all for your companionship, support, and love along the way. I have no way to repay...cough cough, today, I will try to update as much as possible! (To be continued.)
