"Your companion spirit beast is the ancient mythical beast Suzaku?" The great elder went straight to the point.

"Yes." When Di Yunli exposed Suzaku, she knew her identity might be exposed. But it didn't matter, she had already thought of a countermeasure.

"Do you know that in the mortal world of Beili, there is a school for cultivating immortals called the Imperial Capital College?"

"Have heard a little bit."

"Did you know that there is a female disciple named Di Yunli in the Imperial Capital Academy who also possesses the ancient mythical beast Suzaku?"

Di Yunli smiled faintly, "Great Elder, why don't you ask more directly? I want to ask if Li Yun is Di Yunli?"

The Great Elder stared at Di Yunli, his eyes full of scrutiny and intimidation, as if he could detect any trace of guilt in Di Yunli about lying.

"Before Liyun answers this question, I would also like to ask the Great Elder a question."

"You ask."

"Do you believe that someone can break through from Spirit Infant to Spirit Master in two years?"

The Great Elder was silent and thought for a while, "I don't believe it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"The Great Elder has determined that I am Di Yunli?"

"do not you?"

Di Yunli looked directly into the eyes of the Great Elder, "If I were Di Yunli, would the Great Elder want to kick me out?"

There was a flash of hesitation in the Great Elder's eyes.

"Great Elder, you and I both know that it's best if I'm not Di Yunli, right?"

The Great Elder stood up and stood with his hands behind his back. Now, he had the answer.

Di Yunli also knew that this old fox who had practiced for who knows how many years was not so easy to deceive.

But is this important? She had already considered the current situation, so from the beginning, all the plans she set up in Yundan Pavilion were open conspiracies.

For example, if they attacked her now, or expelled her from the Cloud Pill Pavilion, the recipe for the Broken Emperor Pill would be useless to them.

The Great Elder knew very well that if he wanted to refine the ninth-grade Emperor-breaking Pill, there was no better fire than the Southern Ming Fire. If he used other fires, it would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but would also greatly reduce the probability of success.

After all, the spiritual herbs needed for the ninth-grade elixir were extremely rare. Even with the strength of the entire Yundan Pavilion, they could only gather three sets of spiritual herbs for alchemy at most.

They can't stand failure even more than Di Yunli.

Moreover, leaving aside the Emperor-Breaking Pill, just the alchemy inheritance she obtained in the Yundan Pavilion and their treasure, the Soul-Calming Gourd, were not things that Di Yunli could be allowed to take away.

But the alchemy inheritance had already been completely owned by Di Yunli, so they couldn't take it out. The soul-soothing gourd had also recognized its master, so they could only take it back if they killed Di Yunli.

But if we kill her, everything will vanish into thin air and all our previous efforts will be wasted.

"Have you planned everything from the very beginning?" the elder asked with a sidelong glance.

"Almost. However, the alchemy inheritance and the soul-calming gourd were really unexpected gains."

The Great Elder sighed. "You can just be Liyun, and my Yundan Pavilion can be handed over to you in the future. But I have a condition."

"Great Elder, please speak."

"I want you to lead Yundan Pavilion and break away from the control of Fuxian Academy. I want my Yundan Pavilion to stand up straight, be famous in Gengshi Continent, and no longer be restricted by any force."

The Great Elder knew that he was one step behind and there was no turning back. He knew that if Li Yun was really Di Yunli, then her cultivation had increased unprecedentedly, so he should not make enemies with her.

Since the only option left is to make friends, why not negotiate terms and give it a try.

When mentioning Fuxian Academy, Di Yunli's eyes suddenly turned cold.

"Isn't it said that there are three major forces, a tripartite balance of power? Why is Yundan Pavilion controlled by Fuxian Academy?"

The Great Elder sighed, "A year ago, a disaster struck. All of our Yundan Pavilion's disciples are alchemists. Even though they have beast fire, they are not good at fighting. In order to protect our foundation, we had to ask for help from Fuxian Academy."

"The price is that from now on, you will become a subsidiary of Fuxian Academy and be provided with all elixirs for free."

The two of them fell into silence, feeling disappointed. After a while, the Great Elder spoke.

"I am very curious. It is said that the Queen of Beili seemed to have known that the disaster was coming long ago and she also protected the mortals of the world. How did she do it?"

This sentence seemed to be asking Di Yunli, but also seemed like just a normal chat.

Di Yunli also stood up from the stone bench, "Great Elder, if you believe me, Li Yun can also tell you that the demons from outside the domain will come again."

"What!" The Great Elder could not hide his out-of-control emotions, "I'll come again!"

After all, when in Beili, the highest demon that Di Yunli fought against was the Spirit King Qi Ye who was led away by Xi Yan.

But here, they are facing hundreds of demon kings, and there is also the Demon Emperor who can control a large sect with just a wave of his hand!

The last brutal war makes people feel terrified just by recalling it.

"Great Elder, do you now understand why I offered you the Emperor Breaking Pill as soon as I entered the sect?"

Yes, only by possessing the Emperor-Breaking Pill and creating a Spirit Emperor can we have the power to resist the next demon invasion.

"Whether the Great Elder believes it or not, it is true that Li Yun did plot against Yun Dan Pavilion. But what Li Yun did from the beginning to the end was to prepare for the next arrival of the foreign demons. I need to build my own forces to fight against them and keep this area safe and pure."

The Great Elder's heart was like ripples in the water, and it took a long time to calm down.

"If that's the case, then I have overturned what I said before. Now I have only one request of you."

"Guarantee that Yundan Pavilion survives in the troubled times and preserve the alchemy heritage of our Yundan Pavilion!"

The elders of their generation don't have many years left to live. But the older they get, the deeper their feelings for Yundan Pavilion become. If it is really as Di Yunli said, then all his previous ambitions were just imagination.

Today, the Yundan Pavilion may be one of the three major forces, but the next time the demons from outside the domain attack, there will be a major reshuffle of the forces among the various parties, and the future of their Yundan Pavilion will be an unknown.

What he wants now is to preserve the foundation of Yundan Pavilion in troubled times, which is the most important thing.

Di Yunli bowed and saluted, "If Liyun is the Pavilion Master, he will definitely protect the inheritance of the Yundan Pavilion."

There was no way, she was a more realistic person. The title of Young Pavilion Master was not enough for her to risk everything to save Yundan Pavilion. Since today was a confession, she had nothing to hide.

Her ambition began when she entered Yundan Pavilion, and she never thought of hiding it.

The elder took a deep breath and stopped talking. After all, they all knew that the topic had come to an end.

"Are you ready for the Alchemist Assessment?"

"I will definitely not let the Great Elder down."

"Okay, then I look forward to the performance of the Young Pavilion Master." The Great Elder said with a smile, then he slipped away.

Today's news was too explosive. He needed to calm down and also prepare for the chaos that might come in the future.

Alchemist assessment, that day.

The Soul Gathering Platform has now been reopened and has become an important place for assessment.

On the first day, the test was for fourth-grade alchemists.

On the second day, the test was for fifth-grade alchemists.

On the third day, the test was for the sixth-grade alchemist.

And so on,

As the young pavilion master, Di Yunli can choose which grade to start the assessment from.

So she waited and watched for the first two days.

As two days passed, the number of people on the Spirit Gathering Platform had dropped from several thousand to less than a hundred people who came to take the sixth-grade alchemist assessment.

"Young Pavilion Master, what's wrong?" Xia Li brought Di Yunli the spiritual herbs she needed.

Di Yunli covered his chest, feeling somewhat uneasy and depressed, as if even breathing was a little laborious.

She thought there was something wrong with her practice, but when she looked inside her body, she found nothing unusual.

"No problem, just get ready first."

"Yes."
