All beasts submit, and the peerless imperial princess is about to defy the heavens!

Yu Hongzhi took the pill bottle with some surprise. "Where did you get this pill? Did you find the Dragon Bone Flower?"

Nian Zhao shook his head. "The dragon bone flower is extremely rare. There's still no news about it. I'm afraid it's impossible to find."

"Then this is..."

Feng Ning said in a serious tone, "I met a Taoist priest by chance before. He said that I would have a great calamity in the future. If I wanted to resolve it, I should go to him. He appeared again some time ago. This is the pill I exchanged for something. Because I don't know if it's real or fake, I didn't dare to take it."

Yu Hongzhi looked shocked. "You've been fooled, haven't you?"

However, seeing the bottle of pills in his hand, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Luckily, you're not completely stupid. You still knew to show it to me. If you really took it, then I'd have to admire you. It takes skill to be fooled like this."

Feng Ning's lips twitched. "I'll let you off this time because you're so capable, but don't say that again."

"Elder, please take a look at this for me. What if it's useful?"

Yu Hongzhi really didn't want to pay attention to the two of them. This was such a childish trick. They knew they were being deceived, yet they still insisted on verifying it.

But seeing the pleading looks on their faces, he couldn't resist and opened the stopper to take a sniff.

He then frowned, pondered for a while, poured the pill into his hand, and smelled it.

He infused the pill with his spiritual energy, and the pill instantly shone brightly.

Then the clouds on the horizon suddenly turned a pale gold, faintly carrying a rainbow-like glow.

The three were instantly captivated by this strange phenomenon and remained stunned for a long time.

Yu Hongzhi was stunned and stood there, almost unable to hold the pills in his hands.

He shakily stuffed the pill back into the bottle, only then feeling a little relieved.

But the shock in my heart just wouldn't go away.

"Little girl, tell me the truth, did you really get this from a Taoist priest? Or is it something given to you by some reclusive master?"

Upon hearing his words, Feng Ning's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "Elder Yu, do you mean to say that this pill is effective?"

"Useful! Useful! Tell me quickly, where is that person now? I want to go and become his disciple!"

Feng Ning breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that it worked. She was worried that it might not work, and that she would have wasted a seventh-order demon core.

If it's useful, then it's worth the price.

Seeing Elder Yu's expectant and excited gaze, she slowly shook her head. "I'm sorry, Elder Yu, I don't know where he went, but don't worry, if I see him again, I will definitely bring him to you."

Yu Hongzhi's eyes were filled with disappointment.

"He's gone..."

Nian Zhao always felt that this Taoist priest was someone she had made up.

She hasn't left the house at all during this time, how could she possibly have encountered any Taoist priest? How come he didn't know?

Feng Ning looked at him, who was deep in thought, and really didn't know how to explain it.

She really couldn't explain this magical space and the empty desktop; it would be more plausible to just make up a Taoist priest story.

But seeing Elder Yu's disappointed look, she felt a little guilty.

Elder Yu quickly recovered his senses and said, "Never mind, there's no need to force it. If we're meant to meet, we'll meet again."

Hearing his magnanimous words, Feng Ning smiled and said, "Elder Yu is right."

Elder Yu then remembered the bottle of pills he was holding and quickly handed it over.

"There's nothing wrong with this pill, and it won't harm your body. You can take it. And if I'm not mistaken, this pill is at least a seventh-grade pill."

This time, Nian Zhao was also shocked.

On the Xuanling Continent, even the most powerful alchemists are only at the fifth rank.

Elder Yu is the number one alchemist in the entire Xuanling Continent not only because he refines pills well, but also because he is the person who is closest to becoming a sixth-level alchemist.

His pills are almost comparable to sixth-tier pills. Even though he is only a fifth-tier alchemist and has not yet advanced to the sixth tier, he has already touched the threshold of the sixth tier.

Therefore, it's not surprising that he could sense the grade of the pill.

What's strange is, where did Feng Ning get such a high-grade pill from?

Just as he was thinking this, several figures suddenly rushed in from outside the Alchemy Peak.

They were the other elders.

Almost all the elders of the inner sect have come here.

Everyone wore a joyful expression.

Second Elder Ning Yao stepped forward first and asked, "Elder Yu, there was a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy here just now. Did you refine some rare elixir?"

A look of realization flashed across Elder Yu's eyes, "So that's what you were thinking about..."

He'd like to, but he doesn't have the ability.

He just shook his head with a wry smile, "No, if I could refine a higher-grade pill, the entire Tianxuan Sect would know by now. How could I keep it a secret?"

Ning Yao thought about it and agreed that it made sense.

"Then what was that commotion just now...?"

Nian Zhao chuckled, "Senior brother, we obtained a pill by chance. This pill can heal Feng Ning's injured meridians, but we don't know if it's genuine, so we came to Elder Yu to have it appraised."

Ning Yao also became a little curious, "Was that strange phenomenon just now caused by the pill?"

Nian Zhao nodded. "Yes."

"You guys are so careless! You didn't even know the grade of this thing, how dare you just take it out so openly?"

Nian Zhao immediately admitted his mistake, "I'm sorry, senior brother, it's my fault. I didn't expect the quality of this pill to be so high, which would attract such a celestial phenomenon."

Ning Yao was truly helpless, feeling both love and anger towards him. "Fine, I'll find a way to smooth things over this time, but don't cause such a big commotion again."

Only now did Nian Zhao snap out of her reverie.

This kind of thing is indeed not suitable for too many people to know. If it arouses the covetousness of outsiders, it may bring trouble to the entire Tianxuan Sect.

He admitted his mistake and even punished himself by guarding the sword tomb in the back mountain for ten days before the matter was considered closed.

The other elders initially thought that Elder Yu had concocted some extraordinary elixir and came to see if there was anything they could do to help.

It turned out to be a misunderstanding, so they left.

They never even considered keeping the elixir for themselves.

First, we can't beat them; second, there's no need.

Since the purpose is to restore the meridians, they are not of much use to us.

What they need now is a pill that can help them break through their cultivation level. Given their strength, it's impossible for them to have their meridians severed.
