Chaos Spirit Field

The two elders of the Qingniu Sect had originally planned to jointly force Tantai Mieming to abdicate, but things took a dramatic turn. Qingniu Market not only returned to the Merchant Alliance but also received Level 2 authority, effectively ending their plan.

The Xianbao Pavilion sent Yang Hui a guest token. Zhao Shanhe knew that this was Qian Duoduo's good intention, and his resentment towards Qian Dafu was reduced a lot.

Time flies by, and in the blink of an eye, a year has passed. Ouyang Shaogong finally succeeded in forming a golden elixir and cultivated a third-tier gold elixir, surpassing his master, Tan Tai Yulin, and becoming on par with Tan Tai Yulong, the Qingniu Sect's top genius.

The Second Elder joined with all the other elders in requesting a sect meeting, and Tan Tai Mieming had no choice but to agree. The Qingniu Sect's leaders and true disciples gathered in the sect hall, and even the two ancestors came in person.

When Tan Tai Mieming saw that everyone had arrived, he slowly began, "Everyone is here. This sect meeting was held at the suggestion of the Second Elder to discuss the selection of the Deputy Sect Leader. Over the past year, three disciples have broken through to the Core Formation Stage, proving that this Sect Leader's reforms have been successful and that the sect's new rules are reasonable..."

Everyone in the hall was speechless. That shameless guy, Tan Tai Mieming, kept praising himself without repeating himself. I really don't know what the shamelessness of that guy is made of. The two old ancestors couldn't stand it anymore and coughed several times in a row as a reminder.

Tantai Mieming temporarily stopped his eulogies and said, "Two elders, if you two feel unwell, you can ask the guest ministers of the Chamber of Commerce to make you customized elixirs."

Qingshan Patriarch could tell that Tantai Mieming was boasting about his achievements. He couldn't stop, so he said, "Master, everyone knows your contributions. Let's get down to business."

Tan Tai Mieming said, "Just remember it, everyone. I'm just worried that some people might not know. Let's get back to the point. Our Qingniu Sect has three true disciples who have broken through to the Jindan stage: Tan Tai Mingyue, Luo Tianshuang, and Ouyang Shaogong. As everyone knows, Jindan is divided into four grades: ordinary, mid-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. Ouyang Shaogong is a top-grade Jindan, and can be called a genius. Luo Tianshuang and Tan Tai Mingyue are both top-grade Jindan, and can be called peerless geniuses."

As soon as the words fell, the sect hall seemed to explode. It was okay for Tan Tai Mingyue, who had a natural spiritual root, but how could Luo Tianshuang, who had a third spiritual root, be worthy of producing a top-grade golden elixir?

The Second Elder asked, "Master, how could Luo Tianshuang, with only three spiritual roots, be able to form a purple golden elixir? Your words are truly unbelievable!"

Tantai Mieming smiled slightly and said slowly:

"True gold fears no fire. Luo Tianshuang, Tantai Mingyue, show us your golden elixirs so that we can all see them."

They each displayed their golden elixirs, each a pure purple hue, without a single flaw. Tantai Mieming said, "Second Elder, the facts are before us. This Sect Master is not lying, is he? Not only you, but even I was equally shocked when I first saw their golden elixirs. After asking them, I felt relieved. If you had had enough top-grade golden elixirs to help you when you were forming your elixir, perhaps you too could have achieved a top-grade golden elixir."

After hearing this, the Second Elder immediately asked, "Master, where did Luo Tianshuang get his top-grade elixir?"

Tan Tai Mieming chuckled softly and said jokingly, "Second Elder, are you getting old and your mind isn't working as it should be? Luo Tianshuang and Tan Tai Mingyue are both Zhao Shanhe's wives, so this elixir must have been made by their husbands. This Sect Leader is truly envious of them. I wish I could be decades younger, turn into a woman, and marry him. Ever since he learned how to refine pills, that guy hasn't used any ordinary elixirs. He's never been stingy with those around him, and the Sect has benefited greatly from him."

The Second Elder looked puzzled and muttered to himself, "But, Master, didn't Zhao Shanhe pass away?"

Tan Tai Mieming said jokingly, "Second Elder, the news of Zhao Shanhe's death has not been confirmed, so don't make any false statements. He had already made plans for a long-term journey before leaving the sect, so he naturally had a backup plan. Our sect already has two deputy masters, and now there are two people qualified to take on this position. I declare that Tan Tai Mingyue and Luo Tianshuang will both become deputy masters of the sect!"

The Second Elder was furious. He had been busy for a long time, but it was all for the sake of helping others. He loudly demanded, "Master, what do you mean by this? Why did you exclude Ouyang Shaogong? You must give a reasonable explanation! Otherwise, it will be difficult to convince the others!"

Facing the Second Elder's questioning, Tan Tai Mieming calmly explained, "Second Elder, please be patient. There are three reasons for this decision. First, Ouyang Shaogong's talent is truly mediocre. He is only a top-grade Golden Core, far from meeting the standard for exceptional promotion. Second, he has made no significant contribution to our Qingniu Sect. Third, there are some issues with his identity that do not meet the requirements of the Dongzhou Alliance. Do you have any further questions?"

After hearing this, the Second Elder immediately retorted, "What about Luo Tianshuang? What contributions has she made? Why is she qualified?"

Tan Tai Mieming frowned slightly and responded, "Second Elder, have you forgotten that Luo Tianshuang is Zhao Shanhe's wife? If she's ineligible, then isn't your grandson Tan Tai Yulin equally ineligible? Who in our Qingniu Sect, including this Sect Leader, can match Zhao Shanhe's contributions? If no one objects, this matter is settled. The Immortal Fate Secret Realm is about to open, and this is the most urgent matter. Whoever of the four deputy sect leaders successfully breaks through to the Nascent Soul stage will become the next Sect Leader. If there are no further questions, then we may adjourn this meeting."

Ouyang Shaogong felt somewhat frustrated. He had used a top-grade Jindan to break through to the Jindan stage. Losing to Tan Tai Mingyue was one thing, but he was actually inferior to Luo Tianshuang, a waste of three spiritual roots. This made him very unwilling to accept it.

Little did he know that the golden elixir that Luo Tianshuang ate was not even on the same level as his. How could ordinary top-grade elixirs compare with second-level elixirs? Not to mention three spiritual roots, even five spiritual roots were the same.

After the meeting, Xiao Meir found Yang Hui and said, "Yang Hui, if you still have Golden Cores, could you give me two? Your godfather and I also want to venture into the Immortal Fate Secret Realm. If we don't go now, we won't have the chance anymore."

Yang Hui pondered for a moment, actually communicating with Zhao Shanhe, and said, "Godmother, my brother once told me that I thought you and godfather didn't need it. One each is enough to form a pill."

Xiao Meir asked, "Are there any extra ones?"

Yang Hui was a little dissatisfied when she heard this. She said, "Godmother, it's not easy for my brother to refine the Golden Elixir. One is enough for a breakthrough."

"Yang Hui, I'm asking on behalf of Baoer."

"That's still available, but no one else has any. My brother's pills are only for family members to eat."

Xiao Meir took the two golden elixirs back and broke through. Both she and Tan Taifeng broke through very easily, and they were also the top-level purple elixirs.

Tantai Fengdu said, "Madam, do you think it's possible that Zhao Shanhe is still alive?"

Xiao Meir replied, "That guy won't die so easily. He must have run into something and it's inconvenient for him to show up. Let's just assume he's dead."
