Lin Yitang didn't care. She had read the original text. Alchemy was not an easy task. An ordinary alchemist would be very good if he could refine one or two tenths of the pill's quality. Xu Xiping could refine three or four tenths, which showed that she was exceptionally talented.

No wonder he was able to become a personal disciple. Not only did he reach the eighth level of Qi Refining at just over twenty years old, but his alchemy and talisman-making skills far surpassed those of ordinary people. You should know that outside, intermediate alchemists and talisman makers are highly sought after by various forces.

Four hours later, as dawn broke, Xu Xiping finally emerged from the alchemy room.

She handed the jade bottle to Lin Yitang, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "This time the alchemy was in good condition, and the materials were excellent, so the success rate was as high as 40%. Originally, these materials could have made ten pills, but now we have made four."

Lin Yitang was shocked to hear this; there were actually four! More than she had expected!

She eagerly opened the jade bottle, inside which lay four crystal-clear pills, emitting a faint fragrance. Carefully picking one up, she saw that the pill's surface was as smooth as a mirror, with a subtle shimmering light, clearly indicating that it was a pill of extremely high quality.

She exclaimed sincerely, "Junior Sister Xu's alchemy skills are truly remarkable! You can even refine Foundation Establishment Pills to such a high standard. I've really found the right person this time!"

Xu Xiping said politely, "Senior Sister Lin, you flatter me. The materials are all excellent. If you need any help next time, please feel free to come to me."

Lin Yitang carefully put the jade bottle away and looked up at Xu Xiping. Although she looked somewhat tired, her complexion was rosy, and there was a hint of excitement in her eyes. She figured it was because she was happy to have obtained those thousand-year-old purple cloud herbs, which put Lin Yitang at ease.

So Lin Yitang smiled and invited, "Junior Sister Xu, would you like to come to the school with me? There's still an hour before class starts, we can fly there slowly."

Xu Xiping readily agreed: "Okay, let's go together."

After saying that, the two of them jumped onto Lin Yitang's paper crane and flew towards the school.

It was still dark, and all around was quiet. Lin Yitang circulated her spiritual energy as she walked, her fingers rapidly forming hand seals. After two weeks of diligent practice, her hand seal-forming speed had improved considerably.

When the two arrived at the inner classroom, they saw a large group of people gathered outside, who turned out to be the disciples of the Anti-Lin Alliance.

The anti-Lin alliance, numbering several dozen, all wore unfriendly expressions and were shouting loudly: "Lin Yitang, you traitor who betrayed your master and ancestors, come out now! We want to have a match with you and see just how capable you really are!"

"We must seek justice for our fellow disciples who have been oppressed by you!"

"Come out now! Don't hide inside like a coward!"

Shouts rose and fell, never ceasing. This startled many of the nearby inner disciples, who peeked out and glared angrily at the troublemakers.

The scene felt familiar to Lin Yitang, and she couldn't help but sigh a few times.

It's been a long time since I've seen the Anti-Lin Alliance, and I kind of miss it. It's time to start dealing with the stronger ones after sparring with those average inner disciples every day. She was even a little excited.

Xu Xiping, on the other hand, had a furrowed brow and a face full of dissatisfaction.

She couldn't stand such disruptive behavior and immediately scolded, "What are you doing? Making such a racket so early in the morning, what kind of behavior is this! The classroom hasn't even opened yet, and you're already shouting like this. Aren't you afraid of disturbing the other senior brothers and sisters? If you continue to be so rude, I'll have to ask the elders of the Enforcement Hall to come and settle this matter!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Anti-Lin Alliance changed their expressions. Although they outnumbered and outmatched others, they were, after all, a private organization, and if they were to alert the Enforcement Hall, it could cause them considerable trouble.

However, there were a few fearless people who didn't take Xu Xiping's words to heart.

Several troublemakers from the anti-Lin alliance sneered, saying with disdain, "Senior Sister Xu, you shouldn't get involved in this. We're here to see Lin Yitang, it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, they turned to Lin Yitang and said arrogantly, "Lin Yitang, why don't you come out and face your death! This time we have invited the strongest Qi Refining expert in the inner sect of Tai Que Sect, Senior Brother Mo Ziheng, to show you what a true expert is!"

His words were full of provocation and anger.

Before Lin Yitang could react, Xu Xiping's expression suddenly changed drastically upon hearing the name, and she exclaimed, "Mo Ziheng? Is that Senior Brother Mo Ziheng? Mo Ziheng from One Sword Peak?"

Seeing this, the anti-Lin alliance members became even more smug and shouted, "That's right, it's Mo Ziheng! Lin Yitang, you're not getting away this time! Senior Sister Xu, just wait and see the show. This villain, Lin Yitang, will finally get the punishment he deserves!"

In the end, they even treated Xu Xiping as one of their own, completely disregarding the fact that she had no grudge against Lin Yitang. In their eyes, every disciple of Danfu Peak must have a grudge against Lin Yitang.

Xu Xiping frowned, about to say something, when she saw Lin Yitang gently pat her shoulder, indicating that she didn't need to pay attention.

She stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said to the anti-Lin alliance members, "Since you're so sincere, then I won't hold back. Mo Ziheng, right? Let him come out; I want to see just how capable he really is!"

Seeing Lin Yitang's arrogance, the members of the anti-Lin alliance sneered and were about to say something when Xu Xiping interrupted them.

Xu Xiping tugged at Lin Yitang's sleeve anxiously and whispered, "Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Mo Ziheng's strength is unfathomable. You must not be careless!"

Lin Yitang patted her hand and gave her a reassuring look, indicating that she knew what she was doing.

Just then, a commotion arose in the crowd. A young man dressed in a blue robe, with an ethereal air, slowly walked in. He had a handsome face, carried a large sword, and was surrounded by a faint aura of sword energy; it was Mo Ziheng.

Mo Ziheng's appearance instantly froze the atmosphere. All eyes were on him, filled with awe, anticipation, and a touch of inexplicable tension.

Seeing this, the members of the Anti-Lin Alliance immediately perked up. They shouted in unison, "Senior Brother Mo is mighty! Senior Brother Mo is valiant! Quickly come and uphold justice on behalf of Heaven, punish the wicked, and bring glory to us righteous disciples!"

The sound waves grew louder and louder, as if they were about to overturn the entire inner door.

However, Mo Ziheng had absolutely no interest in the anti-Lin alliance. He merely glanced at the clamoring disciples before turning his gaze to Lin Yitang.

"So you're Lin Yitang?" Mo Ziheng asked calmly, his tone flat yet exuding an air of arrogance.

Lin Yitang calmly replied, "Exactly."

Mo Ziheng nodded slightly, a hint of interest flashing in his eyes.

He slowly began, “I heard that you have declared that you will challenge all the inner disciples. I was not originally interested in this. But the sect is talking about you a lot, and many disciples have even come to invite you in person, so I can’t refuse.”

"Today, I accept your challenge and see just how capable you, the so-called legend of the outer sect, really are!"
