Chapter 296 Pride always leads to defeat
She looked up at the outside of Qingliang Hall and saw several senior brothers from the back mountain standing high in the air.
Hehe, senior brothers, you can just stand there.
She's now directly refined a ninth-grade pill with nine revolutions, so she's going to be willful and take a nap first.
Who told her to be so tired? Her mind was throbbing with pain!
The Qingyun Sect leaders waiting outside Qingling Peak all eagerly inhaled the rich fragrance of the pills with joyful expressions.
As I kept sniffing, the fragrance of the elixir disappeared.
There was no sound of an explosion.
This must be the elixir that has been successfully refined.
Must be!
Haha, Qingyun Sect has a second ninth-grade alchemist, and it's very likely that he's a mid-grade alchemist.
Congratulations!
The bigwigs took out the congratulatory gifts they had prepared beforehand, ready to congratulate Master Zhong as soon as possible.
Congratulations to Master Zhong while he's in a good mood after refining a ninth-grade elixir are readily offered; it's a good way to strengthen your relationship.
This will cause Master Zhong a lot of trouble in the future.
But, but...
The fragrance of the pills had faded long ago, and they waited in vain for the sound of the Qingling Peak formation activating.
One of the experienced elders said with a slight smile, "No rush, no rush. This is Master Zhong's first time refining a ninth-grade pill. It's his first time, so he's putting in a lot of effort and using his spiritual sense a lot. He must be meditating and resting now. Let's wait a little longer."
The bigwigs nodded vigorously.
That's right. It's normal to be extremely cautious and apprehensive when refining a ninth-grade pill for the first time. It's normal to have a lot of spiritual energy and divine sense involved.
They wait, right here.
Zhang Ningning had been waiting outside the Qingliang Hall for a long time. She had prepared a bowl of spiritual food to nourish her master's spirit and kept it warm with her spiritual energy.
Although her master adopted a free-range approach to raising her, he did not neglect any of the necessary guidance.
She has great respect for her master.
Of course, he was also very afraid of his master.
She couldn't be bothered with the sect leaders waiting outside Qingling Peak.
She knew very well that as long as her master became a ninth-grade alchemy master, even if Qingling Peak did not activate the formation for half a month, they would not dare to say a word against it.
Sect Leader Lu understood perfectly well that this was Zhong Lingxin's protest against him.
But he was still very happy.
He has done what he was supposed to do and can now retire gracefully.
Three days later, feeling refreshed, Zhong Lingxin waved her hand and opened the array of Qingling Peak.
A group of Qingyun Sect leaders crowded into Qingling Peak, singing a series of praises.
Zhong Lingxin listened with a smile, occasionally offering a word of praise.
Sect Master Lu quickly began discussing Zhong Lingxin's mission on behalf of the Qingyun Sect: "Uncle Zhong, congratulations on your direct promotion to a mid-level ninth-grade alchemist, becoming the youngest mid-level ninth-grade alchemist in our Immortal Spirit Continent."
What a blessing for the sect! What a blessing for the sect!
Uncle Zhong, in the past few days, I have discussed this with the old ancestor of the back mountain and the peak masters, and I would also like to ask for your permission, Uncle Zhong.
As is customary, Uncle Zhong is required to refine five Rank 9 elixirs for the sect each year.
However, it was no easy feat for Master Zhong to advance to the ninth rank of intermediate alchemist.
Is it possible to hold off on assigning a task to Uncle Zhong for now?
I was referring to the custom that the sect would give Uncle Zhong three portions of spiritual herbs, and Uncle Zhong would then refine one pill.
Since Uncle Zhong has just been promoted, the sect can supply him with more spiritual herbs.
As for how much Uncle Zhong can refine, that's up to him.
"Having just been promoted, I still need to slowly figure out many alchemy techniques."
Zhong Lingxin shook her head and resolutely refused.
This Sect Master Lu seems to have good intentions, wanting her to refine pills and quickly become proficient in making more Rank 9 spirit pills.
In reality, they were still trying to keep her trapped in the sect, endlessly refining pills.
She won't fall for that!
She wants to go out for a walk.
Having been trapped in the peak for hundreds of years, she was very worried about the teleportation array on Dragon Island.
Although Zhong Chun went to Long Island several times, he always said that the situation was under control when he returned.
But she still wanted to see it for herself to be at ease.
Furthermore, her alchemy skills must be passed down not only by the Qingyun Sect but also by Dragon Island.
Otherwise, the Celestial Spirits and Heavenly Dao would hate her to death.
Zhong Lingxin smiled and said to the group of Qingyun Sect leaders, "I have to go out and gain experience."
This time, I originally wanted to directly attempt to obtain a ninth-grade pill, but I failed. It's a pity because my mental state wasn't good enough.
The key to a ninth-grade elixir lies in the understanding of the rules of the Heavenly Dao.
The essence of the nine-grade elixirs lies in the application of the rules of Heaven.
But above the rules there are laws, and I don't understand the laws well enough; I need to gain more experience.
Dear fellow practitioners, we often talk about achieving a state of mental perfection, but it's easier said than done.
All the bigwigs nodded in agreement.
Once they reach the Tribulation Transcending stage, they will not lack spiritual power; they will have plenty of rare and precious materials to help them increase their spiritual power and cultivation.
But they always felt that something was missing.
This slight difference severely hindered their promotion.
Countless cultivators who have undergone tribulation have concluded that it all boils down to their state of mind.
In order to improve their state of mind, all the cultivators who had undergone tribulation tried every possible method.
Some people take the "Red Dust Pill" and experience the mortal world in their dreams.
He had four experiences and witnessed all aspects of life.
Some cultivators even went directly to the mortal world, living like ordinary people, experiencing daily meals, getting married, and having children.
But improving one's state of mind isn't that easy.
Countless cultivators attempting to transcend tribulations ultimately became stuck on their mental state, remaining trapped until their lifespans ran out, forcing them to ascend to immortality.
Those who were lucky enough became wandering immortals.
But everyone understands that the so-called "wandering immortals" are those who cannot ascend but do not want to die, so they preserve their souls using secret methods, living day after day without any hope of ascension.
As Zhong Lingxin finished speaking, several other Transcending Tribulation Ancestors also had the idea of traveling.
Having no other choice, Sect Leader Lu had to ask them to wait.
After he advances to the Tribulation Transcendence stage, he will pass the position of sect leader to Li Shiyi before leaving.
Zhong Lingxin and several elders from the back mountain gladly complied.
They can afford to wait this short period of time.
Poor Sect Leader Lu, after serving them for so many years, it's really time for him to rest.
So, after Sect Leader Lu relieved himself of his burden, Zhong Lingxin and several elders of the Qingyun Sect bid farewell at the mountain gate and went their separate ways to their respective destinations.
Zhong Lingxin quickly arrived at the entrance of Dragon Island and entered the island in a flash.
Just as Zhong Lingxin remembered, Dragon Island was peaceful and tranquil.
The only change is that the monsters have grown a lot.
Centuries have passed, and some of those little monsters that were captured and brought to the island back then have already reached the sixth or seventh level.
A group of young cultivators from the Long family are training on Dragon Island.
Zhong Lingxin's cultivation was far superior to theirs. With a mere flick of her body, she quietly followed behind them, observing how they trained.
The young cultivators performed well during their training, showing decisiveness in slaying demonic beasts and choosing excellent timing for harvesting spiritual fruits.
However, the conversation among the junior cultivators made Zhong Lingxin frown.
For no other reason than that the young cultivators were proud.
They are proud to be guardians.
At the same time, they also felt that they were guardians, superior to others.
There was a subtle sense of disdain towards the cultivators of the Immortal Spirit Continent.
This made Zhong Lingxin frown deeply.
Arrogant soldiers are bound to fail.
Back then, the Dragon family's ancestors lost Dragon Island to the demons, and their pride was certainly a factor.
