"Brother Dao, what did you say? You mean you personally refined this pill!" Xiao Hu's mouth was wide open, big enough to fit a fist.

Ji Dao nodded and said with certainty, "That's right. Even if the family doesn't provide them, we won't lack high-grade body-tempering pills in the future."

"Dao Yi, I've heard that the spiritual herbs needed to refine Body Tempering Pills also require points to exchange. One set of Body Tempering Pills requires ten points. Even if you have a thousand points plus ours, it's not enough for all of us to cultivate."

What if I said there were absolutely no problems?

"This...this is impossible. Don't joke around. Even the Dan Sect within the clan wouldn't dare to guarantee it, let alone you who have just started to become an alchemist. You can't waste your cultivation time and resources because of us."

“I agree with what Zihan said; we can’t let you bear everything.”

"That's right, I don't agree with what you're doing either, Brother Dao."

"I don't agree either!"

At this moment, Wang Dan's voice suddenly rang out, clearly indicating that he had just overheard the conversation.

When Ji Dao heard that everyone was against his plan, he felt helpless because no one believed he could really refine many high-grade pills, but he was also extremely gratified.

"Now that you, Wang Dan, have also emerged from seclusion, our five-person team is finally complete."

"Then I won't hide it from you guys, but you need to keep this a secret and not allow anyone outside of this place to know."

Ji Daoyi's expression was serious. After all, he had kept this secret from even his family, and if it got out, it might cause unnecessary trouble.

Seeing Ji Daoyi's expression and being told not to spread the word, Ji Xiaohu and the others all nodded and promised not to.

With everyone's assurances, Ji Daoyi said again, "I will refine some high-quality Body Tempering Pills and some medium-quality ones. The medium-quality Body Tempering Pills can be exchanged for points, and the high-quality ones will be kept for our own use. I believe that's enough."

"My alchemy will not interfere with my cultivation. In fact, alchemy will only help me consolidate my realm and make me break through realms faster. If you don't believe me, you can sense my cultivation aura."

In an instant, Ji Daoyi released his Marrow Refining Realm aura without reservation.

"This... the aura is substantial, and the Yuan Power fluctuations are incredibly refined. Brother Dao, didn't you just break through recently? Could it be that your realm has become so stable because of alchemy?" Ji Xiaohu exclaimed in surprise upon sensing the fluctuations in his Yuan Power aura.

"Yes, if Sister Yueyue hadn't told me to make sure to inform you before she went into seclusion, I would have already gone into seclusion to break through to the next level. Judging from the time, she should be out of seclusion around the end of the month. She will invite us to celebrate when she comes out, so you all need to work hard in your cultivation during this period and break through to the Marrow Refining Realm before Sister Yueyue comes out of seclusion, so as to give her a big surprise."

"Since you've put it that way, Dao Yi, it would be foolish not to take advantage of such a good deal. But let's make it clear first."

"What? Are you trying to lay down some rules with me?"

Seeing Ji Zihan's adorable appearance, Ji Daoyi couldn't help but tease her.

"You could say that. It takes time and effort for you to refine pills, so the spiritual materials for refining pills must be exchanged using our points. When the high-grade pills are refined, we five will split them equally, and we will exchange the medium-grade pills for points."

"Wouldn't that mean I'm taking advantage of everyone?"

"How could that be? After all, this is already much cheaper than using points to exchange for pills. Besides, you don't charge us for refining pills. It's not fair that you put in the work and effort while we reap the benefits!"

“Sister Zihan is right. Brother Dao, if you don’t agree, we’ll really be embarrassed to use the pills you gave us.”

The others nodded in agreement, and Ji Daoyi had no choice but to give up and agree to their proposed solution.

"By the way, Brother Dao, you just said that Sister Yueyue is also in seclusion. Did you give her the Meridian Opening Pill reward you mentioned last time?"

"Yes, on the very day you went into seclusion, the Grand Elder sent someone to deliver the Meridian Opening Pill. I suspect that the Grand Elder sent the pill at that time so that she could break through her cultivation."

"That's good. Before I went into seclusion, I heard that the new teacher in Group Two was already at the Perfected Refinement Realm, and the teachers in Groups Three and Four were also at the Perfected Realm. Only our Sister Yueyue is still in the late stage. It would be unreasonable for the family not to take advantage of this to help her break through."

"By the way, Wang Dan, how many levels of Bone Refinement have you broken through this time?"

"I've reached the fifth level of Bone Refinement. This gravity chamber training has been a great help to me, and I'm confident that I can break through to the Perfection of Bone Refinement by the end of the month. However, I estimate that it will take some more time to break through to the Marrow Refinement Realm."

"It's already very good. Just do it your way. There's no need to rush. As the saying goes, haste makes waste."

Wang Dan nodded repeatedly.

"Now that you've all emerged from seclusion, I've completed the task Sister Yueyue assigned me. Starting tomorrow, I'll also be going into seclusion for a while. You can use your points to exchange for dozens of spiritual medicines, such as Body Tempering Pills and Rejuvenation Pills. I can refine them after I break through and emerge from seclusion."

"Start refining them now? What if the inner academy finds out and doesn't give us the pills for cultivation?"

"What are you thinking? The elixirs are exchanged for points, and the pills are refined by ourselves. How could the inner court withhold the resources that are due to us? Don't forget why the family arranged for us to be in the inner court!"

"I understand." Ji Xiaohu scratched his head sheepishly.

Before you knew it, the night had passed.

In the training room,

Ji Daoyi's aura continued to rise, and suddenly, the Yuan energy in the cultivation room began to surge wildly, forming Yuan energy vortexes.

His body was surrounded by vortexes of Yuan energy, which continuously absorbed the Yuan energy in the cultivation room. At the edge of the cultivation room, the Yuan energy was completely drained.

His aura was rapidly increasing at a visible speed.

Sixth level of Marrow Refinement

Seventh level of Marrow Refinement

...

Nine Levels of Marrow Refinement

When the essence of power within his body reached a level as substantial as frost and snow, and his marrow fluid became as white as jade, he knew he had broken through to the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm.

Ji Daoyi slowly opened his eyes, two beams of light flashing in them. A faint halo, like white frost, surrounded his body. This was only possible when the power within his body reached saturation and overflowed. This was also a sign that he had just broken through to the peak of the Marrow Refining Realm.

He stood up, feeling an unprecedented power, clenched his fists, and threw a powerful punch forward.

bang

His fist produced a loud bang as it struck the air.

Ji Daoyi shook his head and thought to himself, "My control over power is still a bit lacking after just breaking through to the next level. It seems like there's a lot of noise, but in reality, I'm only using about 80% of my power. The remaining two levels of power are being wasted."
