Chapter 57: Chapter 57: Can’t Be Wrong, This Time It’s Stable! _1
Translator: 549690339
Looking at Ling Xi a hundred meters away, Mu Xingzhi was stunned like a wooden chicken!
What did he see?
Heavens!
What was Ling Xi doing? Next to her, there was a jade pool about a zhang in size, and its depth was unknown, but the pool was filled with countless Rising Yuan Pills!
At that moment, Ling Xi waved her hand, and the countless Rising Yuan Pills flowed like water from her palm into the jade pool!
Mu Xingzhi’s eyes widened, and he subconsciously used his Spiritual Sense to calculate. He hadn’t thought it was important, but upon calculating, he felt his heart nearly leap out of his chest!
The second-level Rising Yuan Pills flowing from Ling Xi’s palm numbered over ten thousand!
And with Mu Xingzhi’s discerning eye, he could tell at a glance that they had just been refined!
Even stranger was that Ling Xi did not use a Pill Tripod; the Rising Yuan Pills seemed to have been hidden in her palm all along.
After placing the Rising Yuan Pills in the jade pool, Ling Xi casually set a sealing formation over it before turning to greet Mu Xingzhi with a courteous bow, “Greetings to Sect Leader Senior Brother!”
Mu Xingzhi quickly stepped forward, “No need for such formality, Little Junior Sister, how did you do it? Could it be the legendary Medicine Divine Body?”
Special physiques have always been revered by cultivators, and the Medicine Divine Body is a truly miraculous existence. Rumors say: ‘Whoever possesses the Medicine Divine Body possesses the world!’
This kind of physique cannot be concealed unless one abstains from practicing alchemy.
But if one has the Medicine Divine Body and does not practice alchemy, it might as well not exist.
Thus, Ling Xi knew that there are times, with some people, she need not hide her special physique — she just needed to keep those in the know to a minimum.
“Sect Leader Senior Brother, 1 haven’t reached the level of a Medicine Divine Body, it’s just a Medicine Spirit Body,” Ling Xi said softly, her voice comforting like a spring breeze.
“Indeed!”
The excitement in Mu Xingzhi’s eyes was hard to conceal. This news was more exciting than the Little Martial Uncle ascending to the Immortal World!
“To refine over ten thousand second-level Rising Yuan Pills in one go, amazing, truly amazing!” Mu Xingzhi did not skimp on his words of praise, but for the excited him, a simple ‘amazing’ sufficed.
Ling Xi quickly shook her head, “Sect Master, you flatter me too much, compared to Master, I am lacking by more than just a little.”
“If Master were to do it, the quantity of the pills would surely double, and at the very least, they would all be of the finest quality. Yet among those I have refined, nearly half are just high-grade.”
Speaking, a semblance of self-reproach appeared on Ling Xi’s face.
Master was so powerful, and he had passed on all his understanding of Alchemy Dao to her. Yet, she had not reached even half of Master’s standard!
She felt utterly unworthy of Master’s cultivation and her Medicine Spirit Body.
The expression on Ling Xi’s face almost made Mu Xingzhi feel an urge to cough up blood!
Mu Xingzhi pressed his chest firmly, lamenting that it was unfair to be so disheartened!
Throughout the entire Kunlun Southern Region, aside from the Little Martial Uncle, who could match your level?
And yet you…
Well alright, your standards are high, and I’m powerless to refute.
Coughing lightly, Mu Xingzhi said, “Little Junior Sister, there is no need for such self-blame. You haven’t been practicing for long. When you reach the Little Martial Uncle’s level of cultivation, your mastery of the Alchemy Dao will surely be no less formidable than his!”
Ling Xi’s long eyelashes fluttered, and her eyes, bright as the full moon, brimmed with hope, “I’ve been practicing for ten years now, but Master practiced for thirty years. In another twenty years, I must reach Master’s level of mastery!”
“I believe in you!” Mu Xingzhi said earnestly.
Mu Xingzhi thought that whether or not he had confidence didn’t matter, but it was important to show his confidence in her on the surface.
After all, if the Little Martial Uncle could reach his current unmatched level in pills and formations in thirty years, Mu Xingzhi felt it was impossible to surpass.

But then again, once Ling Xi grew up, even if it was just the early stage Medicine Spirit Body, the might of the Medicine Divine Body would bring immense benefits to the sect.
Look at that, those pools of Level 1 and Level 2 Rising Yuan Pills, enough to cultivate several tens of thousands of Foundation Establishment Stage Complete strong practitioners!
“Little Tian, has Little Junior Sister reached the Golden Core Stage Complete yet?” Yun Tianqiong had been observing Ling Xi, and now he asked softly.
Qi Jingtian nodded, “Yes, the speed of our junior sister’s cultivation is somewhat astonishing!”
Yun Tianqiong took a deep breath, “She is a Medicine Spirit Body, able to actively absorb some of the medicinal power during alchemy, the more pills she refines, the faster she improves.”
“The sect is not short of medicinal materials, and as Little Junior Sister refines pills for the sect, her cultivation improves rapidly; I’m afraid we won’t be able to keep up.”
Qi Jingtian deeply agreed with Yun Tianqiong’s words, “Indeed, we are no match for junior sister!”
But to Mu Xingzhi standing aside, it felt as if the two were plunging knives into his own heart!
And it was the kind that thrusts fiercely into death.
You two can’t compare to Ling Xi? In terms of alchemy, of course not!
But look at you both, one with a Sword Body, already beginning to show a sharp edge in the Sword Dao, and also carrying the Sword Path Rules, the other… with a physical body stronger than anyone else’s!
Are such monsters like you really feeling inferior?
Mu Xingzhi suddenly felt that the Eighteenth Peak was absolutely not a place for mere mortals!
Anyone who came would be battered to pieces by the invisible showboating of these monsters!
No matter how high your cultivation, upon arriving at the Eighteenth Peak, you would only face constant blows and provocation, and the slightest carelessness could even lead to the collapse of your Dao heart.
Mu Xingzhi, as the Sect Master, naturally hoped for more such monsters among his disciples, so he could withstand such… provocations!
If it were someone else, they probably would have just chuckled awkwardly.
Clearly, Mu Xingzhi had no intention of consoling these two monsters and changed the subject, “How long has Little Uncle Master been in seclusion?”
Yun Tianqiong pondered, “Since he brought back Qi Junior Brother, he began to seclude himself, and till today, it has been over twenty days.”
Mu Xingzhi looked toward the mountain peak, where Li Cheng had set up a protective formation, unable to sense the situation inside.
“With Little Uncle Master’s cultivation, further seclusion might draw the Heaven Tribulation at every gesture!”
As Mu Xingzhi spoke, he slowly widened his eyes, and joy began to emerge from the bottom of his eyes, “Is Little Uncle Master preparing for Tribulation Crossing?”
“Ah? Is Master going to cross the Tribulation and ascend?” The three disciples exclaimed in unison, their faces showing some panic.
They had just become disciples not long ago, were they about to part with their master?
Mu Xingzhi’s eyes sparkled with brilliance, his face painted with thick joy, seeming to ignore the disciples’ reluctance, he said jubilantly, “No mistake, it’s secured this time!”
Turning his head, Mu Xingzhi saw that his three disciples’ complexions had turned pale and he could not help but speak up to comfort them, “Don’t worry, with Little Uncle Master’s strength, he can easily disperse the Heaven Tribulation!”
“Master…” Ling Xi murmured, her eyes misty as the full moon.
Since becoming a disciple, Li Cheng had taught them without any reservations, and they all felt deeply moved, but now they were about to part so suddenly.
This news came too abruptly!
They were utterly unprepared for it.
Mu Xingzhi understood, “There is no need for sorrow; with your talents, it won’t take but a few decades until you can reunite with Little Uncle Master in the Immortal World…”
Before he could finish, Mu Xingzhi suddenly turned to look at the mountain peak, “Such a terrifying space fluctuation, what’s happening? The precursor to the arrival of a Heaven Tribulation doesn’t involve space fluctuations!”
At the mountain peak, visible to the naked eye, space seemed to be twisting, instantly tearing apart the formation!
