"... Pei Yun?"

Hearing the call from Lord Wei, Pei Yun immediately came to his senses and bowed respectfully to him: "Junior Pei Yun greets Lord Wei."

"I heard from Elder Qian that you are able to refine the seventh-grade perfect pill at such a young age. It's amazing. Who is your master?"

Wei Cheng asked with a smile, inviting the two to sit down opposite him, looking kind and amiable like an ordinary old man.

"My Lord, I am a disciple of the Yunshan Sect of Beiqizhou. I came to Nanyuezhou mainly to travel. I heard that Shengdan City is about to hold a grand event and many alchemists are flocking to it. So I came here to see the elegance of the alchemists of Nanyuezhou..."

"Oh! Then why didn't Pei Xiaoyou participate in the selection of disciples? I am amazed by your talent in alchemy..."

"Please forgive me, Lord Wei. I am already a disciple of the Yunshan Sect and a guest elder who specializes in alchemy within the sect. I am sorry that I cannot change my sect..."

Wei Cheng had expected this and was not surprised. An outstanding disciple like Pei Yun could not be a casual cultivator without any sect or school. He must be an elite disciple from a large sect.

He was no longer obsessed with asking Pei Yun to become his disciple. At his status and realm, accepting disciples was completely a matter of chance and to help outstanding juniors, not to consolidate his own power.

"...Northern Qizhou Yunshan Sect? I seem to have heard that your sect has produced a genius swordsman named...Luo Rufeng?"

"Yes, Venerable Rufeng is the elder of my sect." Pei Yun did not expect that the Lord of Wei City, who was far away in Nanyue Continent, also knew Luo Rufeng.

Of course, she didn't know that Wei Cheng had lived in Dongcangzhou for many years, and the various temples were not far away from each other. He had also heard about the little guy with excellent luck who came from the Taoist Temple.

"The fortunes of the Yunshan Sect are also on the rise. Before, there was Luo Rufeng, and now we have you..." Wei Cheng said with emotion with a smile.

Wei Cheng was just very curious and wanted to meet a talented young man like Pei Yun, but he had no special purpose.

The three of them chatted for an entire afternoon. When they talked about alchemy, Wei Cheng gave Pei Yun a lot of advice, which made her full of admiration and gratitude for the old man.

In terms of alchemy realm and experience, the Lord Wei of the city before her far surpassed her, and even Zhang Su of Danxiang Pavilion was far behind her.

As for Wei Cheng, he also discovered that Pei Yun had a strong comprehension ability. Often, after he made a point, Pei Yun would be able to fully comprehend his meaning and draw inferences about other cases.

He felt regretful again. The girl in front of him was truly the most talented alchemist he had ever seen. It was a pity that they were not destined to be master and disciple.

After Pei Yun left, Elder Qian reported to Wei Cheng what he had seen in the Lecturer's Pavilion. Wei Cheng's face suddenly darkened: "It seems that I have been away for too long, and the City Lord's Mansion has become a mess..."

Following Wei Cheng's order, a major purge began in the entire City Lord's Mansion. Not only were many disciples punished or even expelled from the City Lord's Mansion, but even some elders who usually formed cliques and factions were punished.

Pei Yun was completely undisturbed. Every day, she either stayed in the Guest Pavilion or went to the Lecturer Pavilion or the Shuxiang Building. She was not at all interested in the personnel changes in the City Lord's Mansion.

Some disciples even came to her and told her that Li Wu was expelled from the City Lord's Mansion, Li Wen was demoted to an ordinary disciple, and the group of disciples who followed Li Wen were all punished to reflect on their mistakes behind closed doors, during which time all their resources were canceled.

Pei Yun smiled but said nothing. He just treated it as gossip and forgot about it after hearing it.

After three months of classes now, the elders in the Lecturer's Pavilion who had taught Pei Yun were full of praise for her. Who wouldn't like such a talented, hardworking and humble disciple!

To be honest, they wish Pei Yun could come to their class every day! Because they feel a sense of accomplishment when teaching Pei Yun, and they can see her progress with their own eyes almost every day!

In the alchemy class of the sixth-grade alchemist that day, Elder Fang stood beside Pei Yun, picked up a bottle of pills she had just made, checked it, and found that it was full of sixth-grade medium-quality Qingxin Pills.

"...You are worthy of being an alchemy genius that is rarely seen in a thousand years. In just one month, you have completely improved the quality of the elixir by one level..."

A month ago, the sixth-grade pills refined by Pei Yun were roughly 50-50 between low-grade and medium-grade. Now, they can all be maintained at medium quality.

Elder Fang witnessed Pei Yun's gradual progress with his own eyes. He was full of praise for her performance and praised her again and again in front of everyone, making the surrounding disciples extremely envious of her...

Early the next morning, Pei Yun had an herb-picking class. She and a group of disciples followed the instructor, Elder Zhang, to a barren mountain ridge outside Shengdan City.

"Everyone be careful! Just pick herbs on the outskirts. There are high-level monsters lurking deep inside the Desolate Mountain Ridge. Everyone, don't go in. If you encounter any danger, report it to me..."

Elder Zhang is an elder in the Nascent Soul stage, and the herb-picking class that Pei Yun is in is full of disciples in the Golden Core stage, so as long as he doesn't do anything stupid, he won't encounter any danger.

Qu Fanwu also took the herb-picking class, so Pei Yun joined him in a group to pick herbs together.

Ever since the incident at the Lecturer's Pavilion, in order to compensate Qu Fanwu for the blackmail he had suffered before, and because Elder Qian saw that although Qu Fanwu was a little older, he did have good talent, but had been a casual cultivator without resources and had wasted a lot of time, he decided to make an exception and accept Qu Fanwu as an ordinary disciple of the City Lord's Mansion.

"...This is forsythia, this is phoenix bell..." The two of them took small hoes, released their spiritual sense, and carefully picked the spiritual herbs.

"Be careful!" Pei Yun's soul is powerful, and the range of his spiritual sense can be detected is ten times that of a cultivator of the same level.

She saw a colorful caterpillar as long as an arm sneaking towards her, and quickly pulled away Qu Fanwu who was concentrating on picking herbs, and cut the poisonous insect in half with one sword. The black blood flowing from the poisonous insect's body corroded the surrounding flowers and plants.

"...Thank you, Fellow Daoist Pei." Qu Fanwu looked at the corpse of the poisonous insect with lingering fear and thanked Pei Yun.

Afterwards, the two walked and came to a forest. Before they entered, they saw two disciples running towards them in panic...

“Run!” the two men roared at them, and behind them followed a group of gray demonic wolves, each with eyes emitting a faint green light...

"Let's go!" Pei Yun and Qu Fanwu turned around and ran away without saying a word. These dozens of gray wolves were almost all in the Jindan stage, and they would be in trouble if they were surrounded by them.

After Pei Yun's spatial state of mind reached a minor level of success, her movements in the space realm became even faster, and in a few moments she left Qu Fanwu and the others, as well as the group of demon wolves, far behind...

Unexpectedly, she had sent out the communication talisman for a while but did not see Elder Zhang coming. Pei Yun's heart sank slightly. She guessed that Elder Zhang must have encountered trouble as well and would not be able to arrive for a while.

At this moment, the group of gray wolves in the distance had surrounded Qu Fanwu and the other two, and the three were struggling to resist...

Pei Yun turned around and rushed to help without any hesitation.

"Friend Pei, let's go!" Qu Fanwu desperately resisted the attack of the gray wolf while telling her to escape quickly.

But Pei Yun was not the kind of person who would run away alone after seeing her companions in trouble. Besides, she had been practicing the Water Flame Sword for a while, but had never used it much. This was a good opportunity for her to hone her sword skills...

Qu Fanwu and the other two saw the gray wolf getting closer and closer to them, and its sharp claws brushed past them several times. Just as they were feeling desperate, they saw a blue sword light and a red sword light intertwined and merged with each other, forming a huge sword formation diagram that attacked the gray wolf...

In just a blink of an eye, a fierce attack came instantly, sweeping across the surrounding wolf pack...

The three of them couldn't believe what they saw and stared in amazement at Pei Yun who was coming with a sword.

It’s hard to imagine that this is the strength that an alchemist in the early stage of the Golden Core Stage can possess!

Isn't it rumored that Pei Yun's Jindan cultivation was achieved by taking drugs? Oh my god! Who is spreading rumors? Who can achieve such strength by taking drugs?
