Chapter 36 When the Pill Emperor Appears, Try to See the Bigger Picture
“How many times have I said that a girl should be more steady? A girl should not be rash, and you shouldn’t make a fuss.”
The white-clothed woman slowly revealed her figure. Her brows were dark, and her lips were red. There was a cinnabar mole between her brows, and she looked like a fairy who descended from the Heavens. Her beauty was peerless, but she was cold and aloof.
However, the moment she opened her mouth, the indifferent and otherworldly aura disappeared and was replaced by a lively and playful aura.
Baizhi said playfully, “Oh, Master! I’m excited for a reason!”
The old man knew his disciple’s personality. He shook his head and said indifferently, “Then tell me what the big deal is.”
Baizhi restrained the mischievous look in her eyes and said solemnly, “There’s news from the capital that a Flawless quality pill has appeared.”
Plonk!
The old man lost his focus and the plant fell to the ground again. The plant’s stem and branches broke apart, looking very pitiful.
The old man suddenly stood up. “Are you serious?!”
A majestic spiritual pressure was released from the old man’s body. In an instant, he transformed from an ordinary farmer into a majestic, towering green mountain.
Baizhi nodded. “The Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce even sent their chief appraiser to verify it. The news must be true. I heard that it was received from a small town.”
The old man smiled faintly, and the aura on his body calmed down. However, that faintly discernible pressure continued to surround him.
“A small town? I don’t think so. Did they say who refined it?”
“No, but according to them, it was a young man who brought it, and he said that it was refined by his master.” The old man revealed a hint of understanding. “I think the person behind it doesn’t want to show himself. It seems that those old men are very low-key. They refined the Flawless pill and want to keep a low profile.”
Hearing this, Baizhi could not help but ask, “Master, do you mean that it might have been refined by those seniors?”
“It’s hard to say.” After all, apart from himself, only those few people had the ability.
This old man was Lu Haoxuan, who was known as the ‘Alchemy Emperor’. His lifelong goal was to refine the Flawless pill. Now that such a pill had really appeared, waves were stirred up in his usually calm heart.
However, Lu Haoxuan was also a little puzzled. Those people were at the same level of cultivation as him. Logically speaking, they should not be able to refine it so quickly unless they had some fortuitous encounter.
However, he had not heard any news recently. If it really was one of them, then, it was quite mysterious.
“Could it be that there are other hermit experts in this world that I don’t know about?”
Hearing this, Baizhi could not help but laugh out loud. She said disapprovingly, “Master, who else in this world is more powerful than

Lu Haoxuan shook his head, stroking his beard, he said, “Do you know that there is a sky beyond the Heavens? There are many masters in this world that we don’t know about. Perhaps the one who created the Flawless quality pill is one of them.”
Whether it was those old monsters he knew or those experts who hid from the world, he could only find out after investigating.
“I remember that the Dao Conference sent me an invitation, right?”
Baizhi revealed a surprised expression. “Master, you mean you want to participate? Didn’t you plan to refuse?” Lu Haoxuan had been immersed in refining pills and had not shown himself for a long time. He had always ignored this kind of grand event, but now he said he wanted to participate. “It’s about time for me to have some fun. I want this person who’s able to refine such a
pill.”
“That’s great! I’m going start growing mold if I stay here.”
Baizhi had a lively personality, but she had been detained here. Although this was also a fairyland on Earth, she was tired of staying here for a long time. Lu Haoxuan’s words were exactly what she wanted to hear. She could not hold it in any longer and wanted to go to the outside world to take a look, “Then I’ll go and pack up my things now, Master.”
At this moment, just as everyone was about to set off, Shen Tianyi gathered everyone together.
“I just received news from the capital that the Wanxiang Chamber of Commerce will be auctioning a Flawless quality pill!”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone was shocked and almost thought that they were hearing things. “What! Flawless quality pills? Sect Leader must be joking, right?”
In the eyes of alchemists, such a pill was like a holy-grade item. However, to cultivators, it could increase their strength and heal old injuries. As long as it was related to the word ‘Flawless’ it might even be able to resurrect the dead. It could be said that it was a heaven-defying existence.
The disciples discussed animatedly. Although the elders were also shocked and excited, they quickly recovered.
“Sigh, but with the strength of our sect, I’m afraid that even if we use all of our spirit stones, we still won’t be able to bid for this
pill.”
“I heard that all the super sects like the Shang Yang Sect, the Xuan Qing Sect, and the Grand Mystery Sect are determined to obtain this pill. We definitely won’t have much of a chance.”

Since even they had received the news, there was no need to mention the other sects. Many factions would gather here.
Gu Xi’s sect was only 100 years old. Compared to these behemoths, it was like a small fish or a small shrimp. No matter if it was in terms of strength or foundation, it could not compare to them.
Shen Tianyi naturally knew the reason, but he had a deeper consideration.
“Of course, our chances of success in the auction are very small, but you might as well take a long-term view. Try to see the bigger picture.”
