Primordial Era: At the beginning, the Desolate Heavenly Emperor invited me to drink beast milk, and

Master's intention is clear: this Azure Sword Shadow is not only an opportunity, but also an important signal.

This means that among the third generation of disciples of the Jie Sect, Qin Yuan will become the undisputed leader.

As the supreme treasure used by the Tongtian Sect Leader to attain sainthood, the Qingping Sword's shadow is equivalent to the Sect Leader's personal presence, which is enough to prove the Tongtian Sect Leader's high regard for Qin Yuan.

Although there are very few third-generation disciples of the Jie Sect now, as long as Qin Yuan does not perish, he will surely become the chief disciple of the third generation in the future.

This honor even exceeded Yunshang's expectations.

"Qin Yuan, your master bestowed the Qingping Sword Shadow upon you; this favor is extraordinary."

"This sword shadow is both an opportunity and a responsibility. You must study it carefully and not let your master down."

"Although the Jie Sect is large, there are very few disciples who can truly be valued by their master."

Qin Yuan nodded silently; he could feel the expectation in his master's words.

Yunshang continued, "From today onwards, you must take yourself as an example of a third-generation disciple and devote yourself to cultivation."

Qin Yuan looked at Yunshang, who was earnestly giving him instructions, and couldn't help but smile.

Yunshang encountered such a special disciple on her first attempt at taking on a student, so she inevitably appeared somewhat inexperienced.

This young master of the Five Clouds Immortal Palace, who is usually noble and aloof, is now like a worried elder.

Qin Yuan bowed to Yunshang.

"Master, rest assured, your disciple will always remember your teachings and will never let you down."

The clouds swirled beneath their feet, carrying a faint ethereal aura.

Yunshang then revealed a satisfied expression and gently flicked her sleeve.

"In that case, is there something important you need to ask me for?"

Qin Yuan rubbed his hands together, a sly look on his face.

"Master, what I really want is a few pills to replenish my spiritual energy and heal my injuries."

"This disciple is completely ignorant of alchemy."

Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, Yunshang frowned slightly.

She looked at her apprentice, who appeared to be unharmed.

"Haven't you been cultivating in your cave lately? Why would you need such a pill?"

Qin Yuan was about to explain when Yunxiu waved her hand to interrupt him and spoke on her own.

"Never mind, it's just some ordinary pills. I suppose you have your own plans."

A stream of light suddenly rose from inside the cave, and with a wave of her hand, Yunshang conjured a ball of flame in the void.

The flame was not an ordinary alchemical fire, but a wisp of innate fire, which was as gentle as cotton under her control.

The herbs appeared out of thin air; some were emerald green, some were blood red like fire, and others shone with a rainbow of colors.

These are rare medicinal herbs in the primordial world, but in Yunshang's hands they are like ordinary herbs.

With a gentle touch, Yunshang threw the medicinal herbs into the flames one by one.

Amidst the flickering firelight, the aroma of herbs filled the air, and the entire cave was permeated with a rich spiritual energy.

In the blink of an eye, crystal-clear pills flew out of the flames and landed in the jade bottle in Yunshang's hand.

She casually pointed and said, "This is the 'Jade Marrow Pill,' which can replenish vital energy."

"This is 'Azure Cloud Pill,' which heals injuries extremely quickly."

"This is the 'Cleansing Spirit Pill,' which can cure all poisons."

……

Qin Yuan was dumbfounded. In just a short while, Yunshang had refined more than a dozen different kinds of pills.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought it was some kind of illusion.

It should be noted that in his original world, alchemy was an extremely complex process.

Yunshang noticed Qin Yuan's expression and was taken aback.

"What's wrong? They're just some pills below the Immortal Path level, easily made in a day."

"If we were to separate the medicinal properties, it could have been done much faster."

The spiritual energy swirled in the air, carrying a faint fragrance of elixirs.

Yunshang continued to explain, "These are all ordinary pills, which I am used to refining on a daily basis. If it were to be a true immortal pill, then it would require more effort."

The aroma of the medicine gradually dissipated, but a hint of freshness remained in the air.

Qin Yuan looked at the jade bottle filled with pills in his hand and still found it unbelievable.

In his understanding, alchemy would take at least several days, but he never expected that Yunshang could complete it in an instant.

Seeing that Qin Yuan was still in a daze, Yunshang shook her head.

"What's so surprising about that? Once your cultivation reaches a certain level, such a trivial matter will be nothing more than a snap of your fingers."

Qin Yuan gazed at the crystal-clear pill in his hand and fell into deep thought.

These pills, which are considered commonplace in the primordial world, would surely cause a huge uproar if placed in the Perfect World.

Those cultivators would fight each other over an extremely ordinary pill.

If such a high-quality elixir were to be discovered, it would likely unleash a bloodbath.

Qin Yuan couldn't help but stroke the jade bottle, a bold guess emerging in his mind.

In this primordial world teeming with supernatural powers, it might actually be possible to refine an elixir that grants instant ascension to immortality.

"The path of cultivation is long, and elixirs are merely external things that cannot be relied upon in the end. You must remember that only the advancement of your own cultivation is fundamental."

Yunshang took in her disciple's expression.

"Now that I have accepted you as my disciple, I will naturally teach you well. As the third generation leader of the Jie Sect, you must set an example and not be lazy."

"When my two sisters and brothers return in the future, I will take you to meet them."

"I know you are exceptionally talented, but the path of cultivation is long, so do not be impatient for quick success."

"It's getting late, you should go and cultivate. Remember my words, don't let me down."

Qin Yuan realized that Yunshang was worried that his cultivation level was too low and that he might embarrass her.

"This disciple will certainly keep Master's teachings in mind and live up to Master's expectations."

Qin Yuan replied confidently.

Yunshang nodded in satisfaction, turned to leave, but then stopped.

"If you run out of pills, you may come to me at any time. But remember, cultivation is the foundation."

Yunshang's figure transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the sea of ​​clouds in an instant.

Qin Yuan watched his master leave before turning back to his own cave.

The cave is filled with spiritual energy, which has formed a small vortex after being refined over this period of time.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Qin Yuan adjusted his breathing and began to try to comprehend the supreme mental cultivation method of the Jie Sect—the Intercepting Sword Dao.

This technique is mysterious and unpredictable; even with his double pupils, he found it obscure and difficult to understand.

Qin Yuan felt a faint pain between his brows, where the true essence of the Intercepting Sword Dao technique was sealed.

Each time he practiced the technique, it was as difficult as deciphering a celestial book.

Qin Yuan suppressed his discomfort and tried to decipher the mystery.

But I always felt there was a thin veil between us, and I could never truly reach the core.

Time passed slowly, and the sunlight outside the cave gradually began to slant westward.

Qin Yuan finally gave up on continuing his cultivation. He realized that his condition was not ideal today, and continuing would be futile.

However, this did not affect his mood, because he had another trump card - the ability to travel between two worlds.

In the perfect world, he can use its unique cultivation system to understand the true meaning of the Intercepting Sword Path in another way.
