This was a bold decision, and at Chen Xiaohan's pleading, Chu Yang agreed.
Because her idea was indeed correct. When a war became a defensive battle for Chen Xiaohan, it also placed restrictions on Immortals like Li Qingyun.
They couldn't focus on dealing with their enemies and always had to pay attention to Chen Xiaohan's situation.
In fact, the previous battle already showed signs of this. After Li Qingyun, Wang Teng, and others successfully ascended, and fought alongside Cang Yuan against the Immortal Slaying Clan kings, only Luo Xiaowei and a few others were left to protect Chen Xiaohan.
Now, everyone except her had become an Immortal.
If teammates who were about to become Immortals still had to protect her, it would be a waste of combat power.
"I'll say it again, protect yourselves. If things become impossible, come back. Failure is indeed terrifying, but the failure now is still within our capacity to bear!"
After Chu Yang finished speaking, he opened the [Book of Planar Anchors] and sent everyone to those cultivation worlds that were experiencing war.
As for Chen Xiaohan...
"What are you thinking? No matter what, when you go to any world, you will definitely face self-detonating attacks from the Immortal Slaying Clan. With your individual combat ability, I am very concerned about your safety."
Chen Xiaohan said softly, "I need an environment to put enough pressure on myself. Otherwise, my cultivation will be difficult to break through..."
Although she was a poison cultivator, she didn't believe her future would end at the Mahayana stage.
She wanted to climb higher, even to become an Immortal Emperor.
However, being constantly protected was not right.
Like Wang Teng and the others, weren't they all battle-hardened, breaking through gradually after fighting enemies until they were covered in scars?
Chu Yang: "???"
"Actually, the reason you are slower than them is not this problem. It's because of the poison cultivator's techniques. As they reach the later stages, their cultivation naturally becomes very slow. Such powerful destructive techniques must have limitations, so there's no use in being anxious."
Chen Xiaohan lowered her head and remained silent. She understood her own problems, but she was a bit unwilling.
Although she was the person the Immortal Slaying Clan feared the most, her growth rate was indeed much slower compared to others. She was still only at the middle stage of Mahayana.
"Since you want to go, I won't stop you. But you must remember that Blue Star also needs you. Your importance is actually no less than that of an Immortal Emperor."
...
Third Cultivation World.
Xue Qianwei had been in this world for a hundred years. Her current cultivation was the same as Chen Xiaohan's, also the middle stage of Mahayana, and she was a seventh-grade alchemist.
Because she had absorbed the "Handbook of the Alchemy Emperor," her status in the alchemy world of this world was extremely high.
Those few Alchemy Kings often sought her out to research alchemy. She was not in a student-teacher relationship with these big shots, but rather a collaborative exchange relationship.
"First, temper it with fire before putting it into the cauldron. Isn't that a bit unconventional? It's like refining artifacts, isn't it?"
"What's so unconventional about it? The medicinal properties of the Seven-Colored Glazed Grass are completely different after tempering with fire than before. Trying it won't cost you anything!"
"But it will cost one stalk of Seven-Colored Glazed Grass..."
"Tsk, Senior, you are already a ninth-grade alchemist, can you stop being so stingy? If you trust me, just do it. If it fails, I'll give you New Year's greetings early!"
Xue Qianwei was discussing alchemy with Ming Yi.
Ming Yi no longer treated Xue Qianwei as a junior. Because she had inherited the legacy of the Alchemy Emperor, many of her alchemy concepts completely surpassed his.
This made Ming Yi keenly aware that the opportunity for him to become an Alchemy Emperor lay with Xue Qianwei.
Xue Qianwei also learned many concepts from these ninth-grade alchemists. Alchemy, in essence, had its own style for everyone, and everyone excelled in different types of pills. Therefore, in these short years, Xue Qianwei gained far more than the few ninth-grade alchemists in this world.
Now, she was discussing the ninth-grade pill "Glazed Heart Purifying Pill" with Ming Yi. After taking this pill, it could cleanse all inner demons and purify all negative states in the body, such as poisoning, hidden injuries, and energy conflicts.
Ninth-grade pills were indeed abnormal, but even ninth-grade alchemists found them difficult to refine successfully.
Ming Yi had not been able to refine it since obtaining the pill formula. No matter how hard he tried, something was always missing in the end.
Then he came to Xue Qianwei to humbly ask for advice, which led to the current conversation.
"So, am I really going to refine it according to your instructions?"
"Of course. You've failed so many times, so you naturally need to find a new breakthrough. Perhaps your pill formula was problematic from the start?"
"That makes sense, I've learned a lot! In that case, I will start refining now."
"Can I watch from the side?"
"Of course, you can."
Xue Qianwei had personally witnessed ninth-grade alchemists refining ninth-grade pills more than once. No alchemist in this world had better treatment than her.
Even the direct disciples of these ninth-grade alchemists were not allowed to disturb them when their masters were refining pills.
Xue Qianwei watched Ming Yi refine the pill intently.
Watching a ninth-grade alchemist refine pills was truly an enjoyment.
Every one of his movements contained profound truths, and his control over the fire was masterly.
The refining process for a ninth-grade pill was extremely long, lasting for two months.
And he had indeed done as Xue Qianwei suggested. As the pill gradually took shape, Ming Yi's eyes lit up. He could clearly feel that the medicinal power within the cauldron seemed to have undergone some different changes.
"There's hope!"
Xue Qianwei did not disturb him from beginning to end, just watched quietly.
Ming Yi's refining techniques crushed hers. The power he controlled was already Immortal Force, so the level of his flames and mental strength were not on the same level as hers.
Under various preparations, a medicinal fragrance permeated the entire valley.
They were currently refining pills in a deserted valley within the Residue Fragrance Valley.
Xue Qianwei's eyes widened as it seemed the pill was about to form.
At this moment, a mysterious Dao rhythm was swirling within the cauldron.
"It's this power... that can give the pill life..."
When pills of eighth-grade and above are formed, they trigger a heavenly rule, causing the pill to develop its own sentience at this moment.
Suddenly, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning tribulations descended.
Ming Yi also understood that this [Glazed Heart Purifying Pill] was basically about to be completed.
Xue Qianwei clearly saw that at the moment the lightning tribulation struck, the pill was like a cracked eggshell, and some form of life was being nurtured within...
