Heaven-defying Phoenix

When Jiu Muli stepped out of the transfer array and felt the vast amount of spiritual energy in the sect, he could not help but feel at ease. Although the inside of the Qing Yun Sect was much more scheming than outside, it was still much calmer.    

She did not stay for long. She did not even go to her residence and directly headed to the mission hall. She handed over the two tasks she had taken up and did not stay for long as she went straight to the market.    

The market was still bustling with noise and excitement. It was even more lively than before because of the outer sect competition.    

Ignoring the others, she moved with ease toward Liu Li's location.    

Liu Li was still dressed as a middle-aged man, with an indifferent look on her face, but her eyes would occasionally land on male monk, making her look slightly wretched.    

"Hey, what are you looking at?"    

When Jiu Muli got closer, he did not know which pretty boy Jiu Muli had taken a fancy to, and was in a daze.    

After being disturbed by Jiu Muli, he suddenly regained his senses, and upon realising that it was Jiu Muli, he could not help but stick out his tongue: "Ya, you're here."    

"Sorry to disturb you to watch the beauty." Jiu Muli was a little speechless, as he pointed to the corner of his mouth.    

"Uh, haha, no, no."    

Liu Li laughed awkwardly, while wiping away the saliva at the corner of her mouth, and said mysteriously: "Jiu Muli, I'll tell you a secret."    

"What?" Jiu Muli raised his brows.    

"Your sect has many disciples who are addicted to Long Yang." As she said this, she pointed at the two outer sect disciples in the distance and said, "Look, that skinny bamboo pole and that fatty both had a kick. Just now, they were actually secretly pulling on each other's fingers. It's simply too shameful. And that, that …"    

As she spoke, she pointed out three or four pairs without stopping.    

How idle could he be to be so bored? Why hadn't he noticed this before?    

Jiu Muli was speechless. She realized that she had really underestimated Liu Li's gossipy heart, and immediately surrendered, saying: "Stop, do you have to be so bored."    

Liu Li curled her lips and laughed: "You don't get it, this is called looking at people, it's accurate, when the time comes we will sell our goods and slaughter them ruthlessly, the place is also very willing, we have oversaw it and said that not only are there men who are willing to spend money, but men who are by their side are even more willing to spend money, there are also vicious and evil people, many dark creatures, crafty men are not easy to bully …"    

He even managed to write it on the side!    

Is it really good to rot like this?    

Jiu Muli only thought that it was a big deal and quickly told her to stop, saying: "Don't talk about your business, I just brought you a business here. The thing that you helped to prepare last time, is it done yet?"    

"Alright, I have things to do. You can rest assured."    

He quickly passed the Dragon Blood Grass and other ingredients that Jiu Muli needed to Jiu Muli to him and said: "We bought that Dragon Blood Grass in private from our shopkeeper. The contribution point didn't ask for much, and adding the remaining unprecious herbs, I spent a total of two hundred and fifty thousand on it.    

"Alright!"    

Jiu Muli kept all the things he had collected and couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Now that one Grade Three Mysterious Opening Pill had been exchanged for Dragon's Tooth Grass, Myriad Ice Marrow, and Star Dew, he had already gathered all the required items for the Grade Four Mysterious Opening Pill. Furthermore, he still had three hundred and twenty thousand contribution point!    

The slow harvest made Jiu Muli very happy. After thinking for a while, she took out another space ring and gave it to Liu Li: "Look, are you taking the things here?"    

Liu Li received it and examined it. She could not help but stare at it with her eyes wide open as she exclaimed, "Wow! Heavens! Did you rob some senior expert? How did you get all these things?"    

Liu Li was truly shocked.    

However, the three Star Emperor Stage's weapons that were side by side were extremely valuable. If they were to be replaced by spirit stone, one of them would be worth at least one or two million. After all, this was not a thing that could be of no use to anyone other than the Star Emperor Stage himself.    

Initially, even the Mysterious Light Mirror could be sold for six hundred thousand, but today, these real Star Emperor Stage weapons were at least three times more valuable.    

"It was just a fluke."    

Jiu Muli smiled and did not explain any further.    

This was what she had obtained from the cultivators that died in Huangquan Mansion. She had taken down all the cultivation techniques and other important things, leaving behind a few weapons and some useless mineral materials.    

She did not plan to learn Artifact Forging, so she did not need to use those mineral materials. Adding the weapons, most of them were left behind by the dead experts of Star Emperor Stage, their characteristics were too distinct, once they met with light, who knows how many people would come looking for trouble with her.    

Liu Li tactfully did not linger any further. Instead, she asked, "We need to appraise these before we can set the price. Do you plan on auctioning them to us or sell them directly to us?"    

"It's up to you to sell it directly. As long as the price is suitable, the key is to keep it a secret!" Jiu Muli looked like he did not care.    

This was a windfall. Furthermore, she had some misgivings.    

Liu Li seemed to be a little rotten, but she was indeed very reliable. She immediately said: "How about seven days later, you come with me, we'll go back, and ask Steward Shi, there will be an auction at that time!"    

"That's fine too!"    

Jiu Muli thought for a while, then frowned: "But I'm lacking spirit stone!"    

She planned to use this time to break through her cultivation level to the peak of the twelfth level of Star Master Stage, and she would also need a large number of spirit stone.    

"Why do you need so many spirit stone?" Liu Li did not understand. Apparently, she also felt that it was difficult.    

Jiu Muli said helplessly: "Breaking through cultivation, the outer sect competition is coming soon, time is of the essence, why don't I sell these directly to you guys as a price, do you guys have any good pill that can increase cultivation, exchange them for me, the best would be a fourth grade pill."    

She needed a large amount of spirit energy for her to break through, and she was reluctant to use those spirit crystal s, since she only had five. She still wanted to use them to break through to great stage after consuming the Kaixuan Pill.    

Furthermore, her foundation was too deep. Ordinary third grade pill, being able to suddenly burst forth with their profound energy was not enough to allow her to break through the barrier of cultivation.    

Having been in the Qing Yun Sect for so long, she was no longer a noob. She had gained a better understanding of cultivation knowledge, and this made her feel more and more about the importance of resources.    

Unless she were to enter the Qing Yun Sect right now, the resources of an outer sect disciple would simply not be enough for her.    

Liu Li also realized that it was no longer difficult. After some thought, she said, "Then I'll ask Steward Shi first."    

"Alright!"    

Jiu Muli did not urge him.    

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Liu Li finally received accurate information, and immediately smiled: "It's done, Steward Shi said that if you are really anxious, you can give these few weapons and materials to us as collateral, and then give you a bottle of four bottles of Spirit Cleansing Pills. When the time comes, we will take them out from the weapon's value, he will personally come tomorrow."    

"Sure!"    

Jiu Muli was extremely satisfied with this, the two of them immediately agreed on a course of action, and Jiu Muli immediately left.    

After returning to his residence, Jiu Muli only rested for a bit, and immediately began refining the Grade Four Mysterious Opening Pill.    

Sword grass, Chiyang stone, ten thousand year ice marrow, all of these medicines were present. No matter which one, their effects were much stronger than what she had imagined. This gave her a great deal of confidence in this alchemy.    

Along with the increase in the number of times she had refined pills, coupled with the help from the intelligent lamp and especially the sudden rise in the number of spiritual sense s, she had become more and more adept at refining pills.    

In order to ensure a one-time success, she even went to the Transmutation Hall, spent 20,000 merit points to exchange for medicinal ingredients such as a thousand-year snow lotus, and refined a bottle of Grade Three Mysterious Opening Pill first.    

This bottle had three bottles of Kaixuan Pill, and the quantity was still nine. However, because the amount of herbs required to make these three bottles of Kaixuan Pill was more than the age of Next three days, the effect of the three bottles of Kaixuan Pill, was probably a little stronger than the original.    

If it was really auctioned, even if it was just in the sect, it would be worth at least two hundred thousand contribution points or more, not a small amount.    

"How lucrative!"    

The more he thought about it, the more Jiu Muli felt that the Profound Opening Master and the alchemist were really together, a moneymaking machine.    

Time passed, and without realizing it, night had fallen. The twelve stages of Star River that spanned across the blue sky were dotted with stars, emitting dark halo.    

Inside Jiu Muli's residence.    

The Exotic Flame was burning at the bottom of the furnace. The scorching high temperature was roasting the pill furnace.    

Jiu Muli's expression was serious as the spiritual sense shrank. It tightly controlled the fire within the pill furnace and the spiritual energy gushed out like a tide, transforming into a giant invisible hand that continuously adjusted the conflict between the pill furnace's medicinal strength.    

The irascibility of the Chiyang stone was even more troublesome than she had imagined. It was worthy of being the essence of the earth fire's power, after being stimulated by the Exotic Flame, it became like a crazy beast. Furthermore, she had to control it completely, using the Exotic Flame to continuously purify and tame it.    

Bang!    

Not long after, the Chiyang stone lost control of itself, and the earth fire's power completely exploded, turning into a cloud of black smoke that came out from the pill furnace.    

"Damn it, what the hell is this Chiyang stone?!"    

Jiu Muli was so depressed that she wanted to vomit blood, this was already the third time she failed, a strong sense of defeat made her really want to switch to another substitute.    

After a long while, she recovered to full mastery. Gritting her teeth, she once again threw herself into taming the Chiyang stone.    

And then, the sixth, failure.    

The seventh time, he still failed.    

Until the eighth time, she had finally succeeded and she had exhausted half of the Chiyang stone that was the size of a human head.    

It was fortunate that she had anticipated this earlier. She had refined all the other medicinal ingredients and did not put them in at the same time. Otherwise, she would not have been able to afford to continuously fail.    

The Chiyang stone was successfully refined, followed by the sword grass. Fortunately, after the sword grass was refined, although it transformed into a sharp sword qi, it was not as violent as the Chiyang stone.    

After that, she started to refine pills.    

Dragon Blood Grass, 10,000 Year Ice Marrow, Heavenly Green Fruit, and the like were added one by one. After four hours, the pill furnace was finally fully formed as it was filled with vigorous medicinal aroma.    

"It's finally a success!"    

Sensing the situation within the pill furnace, her taut nerves finally relaxed.    

Two hours later, the pill was completely born.    

The Nine-colored Lotus seemed to have consumed quite a bit of energy this time. Right after finishing, she hurriedly ran back into the space between Jiu Muli's eyebrows and said: "Big sister, I want star stone, star stone ah."    

"Alright, here you go! Don't cause too much trouble! "
