"Ha ha! It really works!"

  Xiao Long was ecstatic. Although each time he only gained 300 experience points, the sheer volume made up for it. In just one minute, his experience skyrocketed by fifty thousand.

  Watg the experience bar fill up segment by segment, it took only ten mio reach full capacity.

  "Ding dong! gratutions on leveling up to level 16! You need 800,000 experience for the level!"

  "You gained 169 experience!"

  "You gained 162 experience!"

  …………

  Even after leveling up, the surge of experience didn't stop and tio increase, albeit at a much slower pace.

  After about half an hour, the experience finally stopped growing, and the 800,000 experience bar was now 80% full.

  "Ha ha ha ha! Wonderful, truly wonderful!" Xiao Long ughed heartily.

  Typically, one only take one Qi densing Pill, as the sed one has little effect.

  He took another Qi densing Pill to see if it would still add experience. As expected, the experience gained from the sed pill was minimal, increasing by only about 20%, but it was enough to take him to level 17.

  "Ding dong! gratutions on leveling up to level 17! You need 1,000,000 experience for the level!"

  Xiao Long was quite satisfied with this.

  "Right! If I sell these pills, how much could I earn?" Xiao Long suddenly thought of this.

  He immediately opehe mall interface, clicked on the Qi densing Pill, aed appraisal.

  "Third-grade pill, Qi densing Pill, perfect quality, appraised value: 20,000 gold s."

  "What the heck! Only twenty thousand?" Xiao Long was dumbfounded. Even the Explosive Yuan Pill was worth 32,000, and the Qi densing Pill was so popur in Tianfeng Kingdom, yet it sold for so little in the Myriad Worlds Mall.

  He had spent a huhousand on herbs and made five Qi densing Pills and two gxu Pills, so he hadn't made much profit at all.

  Xiao Long immediately gave up the idea of making money by selling pills. The profit was so small that it was better to sell them at an au in the real world, where he could make a fortune.

  Xiao Long called Huang Mao and Da Hei, Er Hei, and distributed the gxu Pills to Da Hei and Er Hei, giving each of them a Qi densing Pill as well.

  The three demos left excitedly, knowing these pills would help them advance signifitly in a short time.

  Xiao Long stayed behind, purchasing the herbs for the frade Blood Spirit Pill and Spirit-Reviving Pill from the Myriad Worlds Mall. He already had the main ingredients for these pills, but the auxiliary herbs alone cost him 800,000, almost depleting his million before it even warmed up in his hands.

  Out of curiosity, Xiao Long checked the price of Blood Lingzhi and found that even the cheapest one cost a million, prompting him to curse. Fortunately, Xiao Bai had found some Blood Lingzhi, or he wouldn't have been able to make the Blood Spirit Pill.

  "Let's begin then."

  Calming himself, Xiao Long took out the Blood Lingzhi and a rge quantity of herbs to start refining the Blood Spirit Pill.

  The Blood Lingzhi was quite rge and could be divided into three parts. Xiao Long took one part and threw it into the True Qi alchemy furnace, using True Qi fmes to dissolve it.

  The Blood Lingzhi ignited upon tact with the fire, and within a few breaths, it turned into a mass of blood-red liquid in the furnace, resembling a lump of living flesh, rolling within.

  Xiao Long remained calm, throwing various herbs into the furnaine fme dragons rushed forward, refining them rapidly.

  …………

  Frade pills require True Qi fmes for nurturing and take a long time. Even with Xiao Long's alchemy skills, it took him three whole days to refine a single Blood Spirit Pill.

  After ing the Blood Spirit Pill, Xiao Long's depleted vital blood was quickly replenished, and various hidden injuries in his body were healed. He could feel that the Blood Spirit Pill still had a lot of medial power left, hidden within him, ready to be utilized iure.

  , Xiao Long threw the remaining two parts of Blood Lingzhi into the True Qi alchemy furnace, multitasking to refiwo Blood Spirit Pills simultaneously. With his previous experience, Xiao Long was not at refining frade pills, and after just three days, two perfectly refined Blood Spirit Pills were successfully pleted.

  ", the Spirit-Reviving Pill!"

  After st the Blood Spirit Pills, Xiao Long took a short break before beginning the round of refining.

  Refining the Spirit-Reviving Pill was an even longer process, and as Xiao Long began his alchemy, the outside world of Tianfeng Kingdom was already in an uproar.

  There were two mais—

  The entire elder cil of the Hidden Poiso was annihited, and the sect master Gu You was dead, leaving no remains.

  The entire elder cil of the Fire Cloud Sect was wiped out, and the sect master Liao Huoyun had aged and lost his irength.

  These two events swept across the eianfeng Kingdom like a storm, leaving everyone who heard about them in shock.

  The Fire Cloud Sed the Hidden Poiso, both oar sects and among the four major sects of Tianfeng Kingdom, had a history spanning hundreds of years, weathering tless storms and remaining unshake, in a single day, they suffered near-catastrophic disasters.

  Regarding this matter, some said that the two sects engaged in a massive battle outside Fire Cloud City, a battle so earth-shattering that even the Innate Spiritual Treasure, the Fire Cloud Sword, was uhed, resulting in Gu You's death and mutual destru.

  However, everyone khat although the Fire Cloud Sed the Hidden Poiso had been at odds for turies, engaging in both open a struggles, they were wary of each other and dared not engage in an all-out war, let alone fight to such a mutually destructive extent.

  There were also rumors that the Hidden Poiso caused chaos at the Fire Cloud Au, killing Liao Qingfeng and severely injuring Liao Huoyun, which led to the sects' battle.

  Immediately, people questiohe Hidden Poiso's iions. Even if they were responsible, after severely injuring Liao Huoyun, they should have had the upper hand. Why were they then ter-killed?

  In short, the eianfeng Kingdom was rife with specution, and all doubts poio the surviving witnesses of the shog battle—Liao Huoyun and Xue Wuqing.

  Three days ter, Qin Feng, the sect master of the Beast Tami, visited the Fire Cloud Sect to inquire personally. To this, Liao Huoyun only gave one response: "I did not kill Gu You."

  This statement shocked the world!

  If Gu You wasn't killed by Liao Huoyun, then who did it?

  Liao Huoyun did not reveal much about the details, only warning his disciples not to provoke the masked man with the surname Xiao.

  Thus, all eyes turo that masked man with the surname Xiao. Could it be that the "ant" at the first level of the Qi densing Realm was the true culprit behind Gu You's death and the two sects' tragedies?

  The truth of the matter was no longer important; the oute could not be ged.

  Since Gu You's death, the Hidden Poiso was leaderless, being a disanized mess. Various fas of elders began internal power struggles, and many old enemies came seeking revenge. Numerous disciples of the Hidden Poiso were assassiheir external strongholds uprooted, and even obscure small sects attacked their mountain gate, deg they would se the Hidden Poiso with blood.

  pared to the Hidden Poiso, the Fire Cloud Sect fared er. Their shops aories, which had infiltrated various areas, were pluheir disciples beaten or crippled, and even the Ask Sword Sect bullied them, killing an outer elder of the Fire Cloud Sed leaving without sequence.

  Later, Liao Huoyun had no choice but to order a retra of their territories, recalling all external disciples back to the sed sealing the sect for a year.

  Sealing the sect was tantamount to admitti and g.

  The two once-mighty oar sects of Tianfeng Kingdom were likely oh to dee.

  The world sighed with emotion, saying that the two sects, having itted tless evils in the past, were now fag their retribution, proving the old saying true—self-inflicted sins ot be lived with!
