Chapter 140: Successfully Refining a First-Rank Medicinal Pill, A Visit from Two Sect Masters

Xiao Fan was overjoyed at this moment. Although he had only produced one pill in this first attempt at Alchemy, it was enough to make him happy.

He toyed with the First-Rank yiqi pill in his hand, nodding with satisfaction from time to time.

Although this was the lowest grade of First-Rank Medicinal Pill, for someone who had only been exposed to Alchemy for a few days, it was already enough.

One must know that this was Xiao Fan's first time practicing Alchemy, even though he had been at it all night…

But being able to succeed once was enough.

You see, for others in the Alchemy lineage, without a solid foundation, a certain understanding of pharmacology, and the ability to flexibly control the heat…

…even if you gave them countless Spiritual Plants, they would definitely not be able to succeed.

Xiao Fan swallowed the yiqi pill in one gulp. This type of Medicinal Pill was used to restore spiritual power.

However, because it was a low-grade First-Rank Medicinal Pill, the effect was average.

Outside, the sky was just beginning to brighten.

Xiao Fan, who had been in seclusion in the Secret Room, slowly opened his eyes…

His eyes were full of exhaustion, but his face wore an irrepressible look of joy.

"I managed to refine a First-Rank Medicinal Pill. Although I only succeeded once, it still counts as a success. I wonder if this qualifies me as a First-Rank Alchemist."

Xiao Fan muttered to himself, somewhat excitedly.

One must know that for Alchemists of all ranks, the measure of their own Alchemy attainments is determined by what rank of Medicinal Pill they can refine.

Successfully refining a Medicinal Pill of a certain rank represents that they have attained the qualifications of an Alchemist of that rank.

In Wuhuang Province, there is a Holy Land for Alchemists called Shengdan City.

This place does not belong to any faction, but its status in Wuhuang Province is unshakable.

No faction would ever dare to provoke Shengdan City, not even the Jixian Sect or the Piaomiao Immortal Palace.

This entire city is a Holy Land for Alchemists. Legend has it that many years ago, the profession of Alchemist was not as large or united as it is now.

Alchemists were usually weak themselves and were often bullied. It was common for Alchemists to be kidnapped, threatened, and forced to practice Alchemy.

Therefore, it aroused the dissatisfaction of all Alchemists in Wuhuang Province. Several powerful Alchemists took the lead and established Shengdan City.

One of its purposes was to provide a sanctuary for all Alchemists in Wuhuang Province…

As time passed, the status of Alchemists gradually increased, and this Holy City for Alchemists has been passed down to this day.

Nowadays, it has developed to be extremely large, and all ranked Alchemists in Wuhuang Province are registered there.

High-level Alchemists like Jiang Yushan and Kong Ping all hold certain statuses in Shengdan City.

Xiao Fan's expression was full of excitement. He was even thinking that if he had the chance later, he would like to go to Shengdan City to take an assessment and obtain the qualification of an Alchemist.

At this moment, the golden token inside Xiao Fan's Storage Pouch suddenly trembled…

"Someone is here…"

Xiao Fan muttered, leaving the Secret Room and heading outside his Immortal Cave.

He didn't find it strange that someone would come; on the contrary, it would be strange if no one came.

After all, because of the commotion caused by the Enlightenment Seed yesterday, it would be strange if the Sect had no reaction at all.

Arriving at the entrance of the Immortal Cave, there were two visitors. One had a majestic expression and an intimidating presence.

The other had a head full of white hair and a smiling face.

"Greetings, Sect Master. Greetings, Senior."

After seeing the two, Xiao Fan bowed respectfully with cupped fists.

One was the Outer Sect Master, Sect Master Xu Yongnian, and the other was the Inner Sect Master, Sect Master Wu Xinjue.

Xiao Fan did not know Sect Master Wu Xinjue's identity, so he addressed him as Senior.

The two nodded and both smiled at Xiao Fan with satisfaction. This was a Genius Disciple with a boundless future who must be cultivated as a priority.

"Xiao Fan, this is the Inner Sect Master." Sect Master Xu Yongnian introduced him to Xiao Fan with a smile.

Inner Sect Master?

Xiao Fan was taken aback. He knew this person's status would be very high, but he didn't expect it to be this high. He bowed again and said, "Greetings, Sect Master."

Addressing both of them as Sect Master felt a bit strange…

"Hmm…" Sect Master Wu Xinjue nodded. Although he was usually very serious, his gaze was much kinder when looking at Xiao Fan.

"My name is Sect Master Wu Xinjue."

"Yes, Sect Master Wu." Xiao Fan addressed him again.

"Xiao Fan, aren't you going to invite us two old fellows into your Immortal Cave to sit for a while?" Sect Master Xu Yongnian said with a smile.

With his kind and amiable appearance, it seemed as if he were not the same person who had scared ten thousand Disciples into wetting themselves yesterday.

"Sect Master Xu, Sect Master Wu, please come in."

Xiao Fan said politely. This time, he added a surname before addressing both of them, so there would be no confusion.

Within the Jixian Sect, the two had different divisions of labor; one managed the Outer Sect, and the other was responsible for the Inner Sect.

It was rare for both of them to appear together to see a Disciple.

The two nodded and followed Xiao Fan into the Immortal Cave.

After entering the Immortal Cave, the two sat at the stone table. Xiao Fan made tea for them and stood respectfully to the side.

With these two Sect Masters present, he indeed did not have the qualification to sit down.

"Hehe… No need to be so reserved, you sit down too."

Sect Master Xu Yongnian said with a smile, and Sect Master Wu Xinjue also nodded with a smile.

The two were very satisfied that Xiao Fan could be so respectful.

Xiao Fan nodded and sat opposite them, his attitude extremely respectful.

"Xiao Fan, do you know why the two of us came to find you?" Sect Master Xu Yongnian took a sip of tea and spoke with a smile, his eyes narrowing into slits, but a sharp glint shone within them.

Sect Master Wu Xinjue also cast his gaze on Xiao Fan, but he did not speak.

"Is it because of the Enlightenment Seed?"

Xiao Fan did not beat around the bush and said it directly.

"That's right. The Enlightenment Seed is of great importance, and I think you might not have been aware of it before."
