The entire pill room was filled with countless disciples from the Spirit Crane Palace.

The Great Elder's words left everyone in shock.

For the past few days, the sound of exploding furnaces in the Medicine King Palace had been relentless, leaving the disciples of the Spirit Crane Palace traumatized.

No one could understand why the disciples from Muyue Nation were so crazily blowing up furnaces, and why the Great Elder didn't step in to stop it.

Later, it was heard that this was arranged by Junior Brother Xinghe. But even if it was his arrangement, wasn't it a bit too much for the Muyue Nation to keep blowing up furnaces like this?

But at this moment, everyone understood!

They had been too shallow.

Senior Brother Xinghe was known as someone who could see a hundred steps ahead. How could they possibly fathom his thoughts?

People from Muyue Nation had learned alchemy before, but everyone saw the results.

The disciples from Muyue Nation had an unparalleled talent for blowing up furnaces.

But Junior Brother Xinghe had thought of a method to use wood to fuel fire, allowing the disciples from Muyue Nation to learn fire-based techniques, achieving a perfect harmony with the wood spirits.

As Mu Bai gradually mastered the fire techniques, his control over the pill furnace's flame reached a new height.

Today, Mu Bai was no longer the little genius of exploding furnaces; he could perfectly control the furnace flame and even refine top-grade pills.

Mu Bai looked at Senior Brother Xinghe with admiration, who stood there with a calm expression.

After days of continuous furnace explosions, Mu Bai had started to doubt himself.

But Senior Brother Xinghe never doubted them, constantly encouraging them instead.

It was thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe's encouragement that he progressed step by step until today, when he could finally control the furnace flame perfectly.

He even refined top-grade pills, and Mu Bai finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that he hadn't let down Senior Brother Xinghe's kindness.

As Chu Xinghe wore a numb expression, the Great Elder gave an order, and all the other disciples from Muyue Nation began refining pills!

Soon, earthly flames erupted in various pill rooms.

With Mu Bai personally guiding them, the disciples from Muyue Nation began to exert their strength furiously.

The usual sound of exploding furnaces completely disappeared, replaced by the fragrant aroma of pills wafting from each furnace.

"Purple light! Top-grade!"

"There's purple light over there too! Another top-grade!"

"My goodness! Can the people from Muyue Nation really be this strong in pill refining?"

As more and more disciples from Muyue Nation began refining pills, this time, the furnaces didn't explode, but the people from the Medicine King Palace were about to explode!

What does it mean to defy the heavens?

What does it mean to be invincible?

At this moment, the disciples from Muyue Nation showed everyone with facts just how terrifying their wood spirits could be when paired with the fire techniques chosen by Senior Brother Xinghe.

Out of three hundred disciples from Muyue Nation, although one or two couldn't control the furnace and caused an explosion, nearly a third of them managed to refine top-grade pills.

The Great Elder's face was beaming with joy.

Damn, Muyue Nation was practically born for pill refining.

Others might take five or ten years to identify herbs, but Muyue Nation seemed to have an innate understanding.

Others might fail when they start refining pills, but Muyue Nation would blow up the furnace.

But while others might take a long time to go from failure to success, and even then only produce the lowest quality pills, look at the people from Muyue Nation.

A top-grade pill rate of about thirty percent.

Not only had no one seen this before, but no one had even heard of it.

For a beginner, a success rate of seventy to eighty percent would already be impressive.

As for top-grade? Are you kidding me? What chance does a beginner have to produce top-grade pills?

But Muyue Nation perfectly demonstrated what it means to be a prodigy.

Starting with a thirty percent top-grade pill rate, and this was just the beginning. If they truly reached a higher level, what would the top-grade rate be?

Even if they couldn't compare to Chu Xinghe with the Medicine Saint's inheritance, they were still incredibly extraordinary.

But compared to Muyue Nation, the disciples of Spirit Crane Palace were now all looking at Junior Brother Xinghe. As the saying goes, "A thousand-mile horse is easy to find, but a good judge of horses is hard to come by." Compared to the terror of Muyue Nation, Junior Brother Xinghe was truly frightening!

How many years had Muyue Nation been considered useless?

Now, who didn't sneer at the mention of Muyue Nation? No matter how good their talent was, they were ignored.

When Junior Brother Xinghe brought three hundred disciples from Muyue Nation into the Spirit Crane Palace, everyone thought he might just be feeling guilty.

But now everyone realized they had been too shallow. Junior Brother Xinghe wasn't feeling guilty at all; he had recognized the uniqueness of Muyue Nation from the start. Just with this pill refining skill alone, who would dare say that Muyue Nation was no good?

Countless top-grade pills piled together, and Chu Xinghe was completely numb looking at the purple light over there.

Was this what I meant when I told you to learn fire techniques?

Are you doing right by me?

I kindly selected techniques for you, and you repay me like this? Do you people from Muyue Nation have any conscience?

The Great Elder, after appraising those top-grade pills, was grinning from ear to ear.

"Xinghe... good... good... good..." The Great Elder patted Chu Xinghe on the shoulder. Despite having a slight doubt during the days of continuous furnace explosions, the Great Elder now realized he was wrong, very wrong. When had Xinghe ever made a mistake?

Xinghe's actions always emphasized stability. If he thought the disciples from Muyue Nation were capable, then they truly were.

"Xinghe, I never expected you to bring me such a big surprise!" The Great Elder looked gratified.

"Reporting to the Great Elder! Junior Brother Xinghe has more surprises for you!" Ma Biao suddenly jumped out from some corner and told the Great Elder everything about the spiritual fields.

Chu Xinghe: "???"

Didn't you, Senior Brother Ma Biao, claim your lips were tighter than a dead man's?

Damn... your lips are looser than the waistband of cotton pants!

After hearing Ma Biao's words, the Great Elder's eyes lit up!

These aren't the useless people of Muyue Nation; they're practically super geniuses born for alchemy!

From planting to identifying, and finally to refining, it's a complete package.

Moreover, from Ma Biao's words, the Great Elder learned that if the people from Muyue Nation were to plant spiritual herbs, not only would the planting cycle be shorter, but the quality of the yield would be higher.

"God Bless Grand Sky Sect!" Ma Biao shouted excitedly.

Countless disciples from the Spirit Crane Palace echoed the call for God to bless the Grand Sky Sect.

Mu Bai and the three hundred disciples from Muyue Nation shouted the loudest. You've only been in the Grand Sky Sect for a few days, have some shame!

The news that Senior Brother Xinghe had cultivated the disciples from Muyue Nation into alchemy geniuses spread quickly.

In just half a day, the entire Grand Sky Sect knew about the talents of the disciples from Muyue Nation, from planting to identifying and finally to alchemy.

"Before, I was wondering how Senior Brother Xinghe would arrange for the disciples from Muyue Nation. Now it seems that Senior Brother Xinghe had already foreseen everything back in Grand Sky City."

"Indeed... Junior Brother Xinghe's ability to recognize talent is unparalleled. Muyue Nation's reputation outside had long been tarnished, but in the hands of Senior Brother Xinghe, they truly became geniuses."

"Turning decay into magic, Senior Brother Xinghe has always been like this."

Each palace marveled at how extraordinary Junior Brother Xinghe was.

And the new recruits this year were even more amazed.

Since they entered the Grand Sky Sect, they had been hearing various legends about Senior Brother Xinghe from their senior brothers and sisters.

To be honest, many of them had started to doubt if it was all true.

But now, seeing it with their own eyes, they were truly convinced.

Although the three hundred geniuses from Muyue Nation entered with them, in their eyes, these disciples from Muyue Nation wouldn't achieve much. This was evident from the lack of interest during the disciple selection.

When Senior Brother Xinghe took them all into the Spirit Crane Palace, everyone thought it might be Senior Brother Xinghe compensating them.

Now everyone knew that Senior Brother Xinghe had long seen through everything. These three hundred disciples from Muyue Nation were not useless; they were truly the most suited for the Spirit Crane Palace.

Senior Brother Xinghe truly has a plan for everything.

Chu Xinghe didn't know how he walked out of the Medicine King Palace; he only knew he was completely overwhelmed.

Wasn't it supposed to be a new year with new changes?

These changes are really something new!

Muyue Nation, could you act like normal people? I'm having a really hard time.

"Ma Liang thanks Senior Brother Xinghe. Ma Liang always knew that Senior Brother Xinghe would change the fate of the disciples from Muyue Nation!"

Ma Liang, this guy, really wasn't afraid of death. Who knows where he came from, grabbing Chu Xinghe for a chat.

Thunder Shadow! Don't be impulsive... Ma Liang might be despicable, but he doesn't deserve to die!

Changing fate?

The people from Muyue Nation might have changed their fate, but I'm about to lose mine.

After driving away Ma Liang, who still wanted to chat, Chu Xinghe swore that from now on, he wouldn't trust anyone with the surname Ma.

What is it with Ma Liang and Ma Biao... does your Ma family have a grudge against me, Chu Xinghe?

Hiding alone in the Skill Tower, Chu Xinghe knew he needed a few days to recover.

But thinking about the news Senior Brother Feng Fei brought about Mo Kai, Chu Xinghe felt a bit better.

He heard that Mo Kai had become the second most powerful person in Martial Emperor City, just below Zheng Yu?

This guy's lifelong goal was to trample me underfoot and lead Martial Emperor City to surpass the Grand Sky Sect?

Listen! How touching!

Couldn't you people from Muyue Nation learn from Mo Kai? If any of you had even a tenth of Mo Kai's determination, I'd thank your ancestors for eight generations.

Junior Brother Zheng Yu! Don't worry!

Last year's defeat at Martial Emperor City was my responsibility, but this year it won't happen. If Martial Emperor City dares to come, our Grand Sky Sect will dare to lose to you on the spot.

From now on, Martial Emperor City will never take a loss from our Grand Sky Sect!

As long as I'm here, victory will only belong to Martial Emperor City!

Good brother Mo Kai, this year, I will help you achieve a glorious victory in our Grand Sky Sect. Then you can not only trample me underfoot but also bring great disgrace to our Grand Sky Sect's reputation.

With a peerless genius like Junior Brother Mo Kai, even if the odds are against me, I can still snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!
