Volume 1 Chapter 46 Refining Silver Snow Pill, Advancing in Rank!

  "Alright, I'll let you take revenge personally!" Leng Ruo Xue nodded slightly in agreement. Since Zheng En had this idea, she would definitely help him achieve it. However, now that the Sun family and the Xuan Shi Sect were involved, she feared that this vendetta wouldn't be easy to settle. Therefore, she needed to plan carefully.

  "Zheng En, you rest well, we'll leave first." Leng Ruo Xue said again, and left Ling in the room to protect Zheng En.

  "Disciple, you should focus on recovering your body first, and then think about revenge. Master has left already." The old man said, and then he left the room with Leng Ruo Xue.

  The old man followed Cold-as-Snow into the living room, where others were already waiting for them.

  "Xiao Xue, you've rescued them all? So quickly!" Lan Meng couldn't help but praise, sighing that this girl was indeed swift and efficient, truly leaving others in the dust!

  "Xiao Lanlan, how's the investigation going?" Leng Ruoxue and the old man each found a chair to sit down on before she asked.

  "It's almost done, I just went to the Xuan Shi General Assembly and found that the internal situation is very chaotic. Indeed, many elders have been locked up, but the place where my master is in seclusion is now very safe. Hmm! Mainly because Wu Hui can't get in there, so Master should be temporarily out of danger!" Lan Ming briefly explained the situation he had investigated, and seeing that his master was currently safe, he felt relieved!

  "I originally wanted to go to Dan Shifu's place, but I'm not very familiar with it, so I didn't go. However, I think the situation at Dan Shifu's place should be similar to that of Xuan Shifu's." Lan Meng continued.

  "Girl, Blue Kid is right, the current situation of the Dan School is indeed like this. My foolish disciple Ren Li and some of the elders of the school have been locked up. The person in charge of the school now is Sun Wei, along with the elders who support him." said the old man.

  "Where were they locked up? Why weren't you locked up together?" Leng Ruoxue asked, somewhat puzzled. Alas! Sun Wei even locked up his own master, what a scoundrel! Whoever took him as an apprentice was truly unfortunate!"

  "No, because Lanning wanted to make me her master, so Sun Wei locked me up alone to please her, and the others should be locked in prison." The old man thought for a moment.

  "Unexpectedly, the Dan Shifu General actually has a prison cell!" Leng Ruoxue said with some surprise, she really couldn't understand why the general would set up a prison cell.

  "Girl, why can't Master Dan have a prison cell? If Master Dan did something wrong, he would also be punished." said the old man.

  "Oh, in that case, let the president and elders of the General Assembly stay inside for a few more days!" Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile. Heh heh, those people have nothing to do with her, so their lives or deaths are not within her consideration!

  "Hmm, let them stay in there for the time being. Anyway, Sun Wei won't kill them anytime soon." The old man also nodded in agreement, sighing, "Who made those people so stubborn back then? They refused to let him cancel his punishment of Zheng En that year. Now look what's happened - they ended up getting locked up by Sun Wei after all! It serves them right! He doesn't feel any sympathy for them at all! Even though one of his own disciples is in there too."

  "Master Du, what's going on here?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "Girl, it's hard to say, I'd be embarrassed to say it out loud." The young old man sighed and said with a hint of helplessness.

  "Grandfather Du, you have to let me know even if it's embarrassing!" Leng Ruoxue said. Although she had heard some things from that Ning Yuan, after all, Ning Yuan was just an ordinary xuan master and wouldn't be able to know too much about the happenings at the higher levels.

  "Ah, Lü'er, after I brought Zheng En back, I thought that with me stepping in, things would be easily resolved. But who knew those old stubborn folks wouldn't agree at all? They even said that the evidence from back then was conclusive and that I couldn't produce any proof of Sun Wei framing Zheng En, so it's impossible to prove Zheng En's innocence. Some people even said that since Zheng En is my disciple, I'm biased towards him and intentionally framed Sun Wei. Hmph! It's infuriating!" The old man said with some anger, still fuming about the situation to this day.

  "Hey, Grandpa Du, it seems that the Dan Shi Association is also quite ruthless! I think they're ignoring you because you're no longer in the association. That's what they mean by 'when a person leaves, the tea goes cold'!" Leng Ruoxue said with some emotion, sighing. It seemed she had misjudged things earlier, thinking that the old man held an extraordinary position in the Dan Shi Association and that no one would dare oppose his opinions. Who knew those people would actually dare to defy him?

  "Girl, you're right. They've been blinded by power." The old man sighed repeatedly. He was still respected by countless people elsewhere, but on his own turf, he was treated coldly, which made his heart feel chilled to the bone!

  "Grandfather Du, since they didn't believe you, shouldn't Sun Wei be grateful to them? Why did he lock them up instead?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some confusion.

  "Hum! That Sun Wei is simply a white-eyed wolf, who took advantage of them and seized their power, just because they disagreed with him succeeding as the president of the association." The old man said with a hint of schadenfreude.

  "Isn't the position of President a gift to Ren Li? Does he want to give up his position as President to Sun Wei?" Leng Ruoxue asked, somewhat puzzled. Hmm! The internal high-level struggles within the Dan Shifu Association are really not ordinary!"

  "Originally, it was Ren Li, but because of my affairs, Ren Li felt sorry for me and voluntarily resigned as the president. He ordered the Council of Elders to re-elect a new president, however, the opinions of the Council of Elders were not unified, many people did not agree with Sun Wei becoming the president of the General Assembly, so Sun Wei used the power of the Sun family and the Xuan Shi General Assembly to lock up all those who opposed him. However, Sun Wei will not kill them for the time being, he still needs their help to consolidate his position, so those old fools are safe for now." The old man said with a humph.

  "Oh, I see." Leng Ruoxue understood.

  "Xiao Xue, Sun Wei's background should be Sun Meilin's mother. Wu Hong will also intervene in this matter because of her. And I saw her at the Xuan Shi General Assembly too." Lan Meng said with a slightly evasive gaze.

  "Isn't it normal to see her? Xiao Lanlan, did you see something you shouldn't have?" asked Leng Ruoxue knowingly. Cut, Xiao Lanlan is actually shy about this? What's the big deal! It seems like the relationship between that pair of dog man and woman isn't a secret or anything! I just don't know if Sun family's person knows or not.

  "Ah!" Blue Ming's forehead dripped with two drops of cold sweat. Had he really been too shocked and frightened?

  "Little Blue, do you know the origin of Mrs. Sun?" asked Leng Ruo Xue after some thought.

  "I know a bit, I heard that the woman was originally just Sun Sheng's concubine, but later on, I don't know what means she used to gain Sun Sheng's favor and became his wife, even giving birth to a son and daughter. So her position in the Sun family has always been very stable, and there are even signs of surpassing Sun Sheng's first wife." Lan Ming told Cold Snow about the information he knew.

  "Is that woman very beautiful?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity, heh heh, indeed a woman with means, to be honest, she really wanted to see this Mrs. Sun!

  "Hmm! It's okay, I guess!" Lan Meng said after some thought.

  "What's 'not bad' supposed to mean? Is it good-looking or not?" asked Leng Ruoxue somewhat impatiently.

  "There's no one as beautiful as Sun Meilin." Lan Meng said with some helplessness, "Wow... Xiaoxue is so fierce!"

  "What right does she have to receive that Sun's favor?" Leng Ruo Xue was very puzzled, huh, men's tastes are really strange.

  "I don't know." Lan Meng shrugged his shoulders. How could an outsider like him possibly know the details of a couple's private matters?!

  "What's going on between her and Wu Huan then? Why is Wu Huan so obedient to a married woman?" Leng Ruo Xue couldn't understand, how could a married woman have such great charm? She can actually make the vice president of the Mystic Master Association listen to her and follow her advice! This is truly unthinkable.

  "There's a rumor that she's Wu Heng's heartthrob, but whether it's true or false, no one knows." Lan Meng said thoughtfully.

  "Oh." Leng Ruoxue nodded, heh heh, didn't expect Wu Huan to be so sentimental!

  "Come to think of it, Master Du, you're a mysterious and powerful figure, how could you be locked up by Sun Wei and the others?" Cold Snow suddenly thought of this and hastily asked.

  "Girl, I forgot to tell you that Wu Hui is also a Xuanzun now, and there are many Xuan Huang by his side. The Sun family also has quite a few. Alas! As one person, I am outnumbered and outmatched, so I was captured." The old man said with great frustration, alas! Having lived for so many years, he had never been calculated to be so humiliated before!

  "Wu Hóng is also a Xuanzun?" Lán Míng was somewhat astonished, no wonder he felt that Wu Hóng's aura seemed stronger when he saw him earlier, but he didn't think he had already become a Xuanzun!

  "Yes, I didn't expect it either, otherwise I wouldn't have suffered such a big loss." Thinking of this, the old man was really depressed!

  "Is there a mysterious and respected person beside Mrs. Sun?" asked Leng Ruo Xue.

  "No, they're all Xuan Huang's people." The old man said with great certainty.

  "Is there only one mysterious master on their side?" Cold Snow looked at the old man and asked for confirmation.

  "Hmm, there should only be one Wu Heng as the Xuanzun, but if a Xuanzun from the Sun family comes over, then it won't just be one person." The old man said with some worry. Alas! Wu Heng is not worried about that, what he fears is the Sun family's ambition!

  "The Sun family wouldn't casually send Xuan Zun over." said Wu, who had been sitting in the chair and hadn't spoken until now, very affirmatively.

  "Are you sure?" Although Leng Ruoxue didn't know why Wu was so confident, but when it came to Wu, she would still believe him.

  "Of course, for Xuanzun, power and status are not the most important things. Their greatest wish is to break through, so unless it's an emergency, Xuanzun will not easily go to war." Wu was a veteran, so he knew very well what was most important to Xuanzun. Very few Xuanzun would fight to the death for fame and fortune.

  "What level is it after breaking through Xuanzun?" Leng Ruxue couldn't help but ask, eh! You should know, right?

  "Haha, I won't tell you now, these are too far away from you, let's talk about breaking through the Mystic King first!" Wuji smiled lightly and intentionally kept the suspense.

  "Hmph! Fine, I'll find out sooner or later anyway." Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly.

  "Cheng Wu, what did you find out?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, turning her gaze towards Cheng Wu.

  "Miss, what I've heard is roughly the same as what Blue said." Cheng Wu hastily replied to Leng Ruo Xue's question.

  "Oh!"

  Leng Ruo Xue lightly nodded her head, and suddenly, a loud "Boom!" sound came from beside everyone's ears!

  "What's wrong?" Blue Ming and others were frightened and quickly got up from their chairs, curiously rushing out of the door...

  Only Leng Ruo Xue, Yao Nie, Wu, and the old man were calmly sitting in their chairs, drinking tea and eating snacks, as if nothing had happened earlier!

  After a long time, Blue Mirage and others who went out to watch the commotion all came back, each with an extremely strange expression on their faces.

  "Xiao Xue, why didn't anyone ask us what happened outside?" Lan Meng asked with some curiosity after sitting down. Hmm! Xiao Xue and the others' reactions were a bit too calm, weren't they?

  "It has nothing to do with me, why ask me!" Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly. Heh heh, actually, even if she didn't ask, she would still know. Hmm, calculating the time, it's about time for it to explode!

  "Aren't you curious?" Lan Meng asked the other three, her beautiful face full of question marks!

  "There's nothing to be curious about." The demon said lightly.

  "Exactly! Little Blue, you still need to train! How can you be so startled and explosive all the time?" said an elder-like voice.

  "Huh!" Lan Meng's forehead was covered in black lines, it turned out he wasn't calm at all!

  "Judging from the direction of the sound, it seems to be coming from the Sun family's other courtyard!" The old man saw that Lan Meng was too pitiful and cooperated by opening his mouth, "Hmph, I wonder if this is something Xue'er and the others have cooked up!"

  "Hmm, a serious explosion occurred at the Sun family's backyard, and Sun Wei and Lan Ning'er are still doing shameful things in public. Alas! The Lan family's face has been completely lost by Lan Ning'er!" Lan Meng sighed, with disdain on his handsome face.

  "Are there any casualties in the Sun family?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "There are quite a few injured people, but I don't think anyone has died." Lan Meng replied.

  "Oh!" Leng Ruo Xue was dissatisfied, it seemed that the explosive ball's power was still a bit lacking! It didn't even kill them, sigh... it was truly disappointing. It seemed she had to increase the dosage!

  "Huh? Xiao Xue, the Sun family isn't dead, you seem quite dissatisfied?" Lan Meng said with some suspicion, Xiao Xue's reaction was truly too strange, did the Sun family's explosion have something to do with her? He guessed in his heart.

  "I'm naturally dissatisfied, if the Sun family had a few more deaths, wouldn't that make things easier for us? You don't even understand this!" Leng Ruo Xue looked at Lan Meng with a hint of disdain.

  "......" Lan Meng was speechless, "Wu... why does this innocent child always get looked down on by Xiao Xue?"

  "Alright, let's all get some rest early today!" said Leng Ruoxue, glancing at the time.

  After finishing speaking, Leng Ruo Xue then went back to her own room with You Yao, and Wu Zi Ran also followed them in!

  "What are you doing here? If others see it, it's hard to explain." The demon in the room glared at Wu, with a hint of dissatisfaction.

  "Huh! I'm going into space." He said with two drops of cold sweat hanging on his forehead.

  "Monster, let's go in too!" said Leng Ruo Xue, suppressing her smile.

  "Mm." The demon nodded in response.

  With a heart as cold as snow, she changed her mind and both the demon and Wu were brought into the cangue together.

  "No, I'm going to cultivate with Yao Jiao." Leng Ruo Xue said to Wu Dao after entering the ring.

  "Hmm, Xue'er, have you ever thought of taking a Dan medicine to advance to the Mystic King stage?" Wu asked with some puzzlement.

  "Dan medicine?" Cold as snow, absolutely beautiful face was full of confusion, for a moment, she really hadn't thought of any dan medicine that could directly make her advance to Xuan Wang.

  "Yin Xue Dan! Don't tell me you've forgotten?" Wu had some incredulity in his tone. In fact, when Xue Er and Yao Jie had just advanced to the rank of Grandmaster, he had wanted to ask this question, but at that time there were too many things going on, so he never found a suitable opportunity.

  "What about those silver snow fish?" Leng Ruoxue suddenly remembered the fish she had stolen from the Blue House Villa, and hummed. If no one reminded her, she would have really forgotten. Actually, this couldn't be blamed on her, as there had been too many things happening recently!

  "It seems you really forgot." He said with some helplessness.

  "Ah, I indeed forgot." Leng Ruoxue somewhat embarrassingly admitted, heh heh, who let the main ingredient for refining Silver Snow Dan be fish? Fish is just food in her heart, who wouldn't always think about food?!

  "Xue Er, after eating the Silver Snow Pill, you can directly advance to Xuan Wang. At that time, I estimate that you will have no problem challenging Xuan Huang!" Wu Cai said with a sigh. Alas! These two freaks were already able to defeat Xuan Wang by leaps and bounds when they were still at the Grandmaster level. If they advanced to Xuan Wang, then poor Xuan Huang would be in trouble.

  "Ordinary Xuan Huang is definitely no problem, but as for Cheng Wu's kind, I'm not sure." said Leng Ruo Xue.

  After finishing, the three of them walked to the pool where the silver snowfish were raised. Looking at the silver snowfish swimming happily in the pool, Leng Ruo Xue was shocked. This... seemed like it hadn't been long ago, but the silver snowfish in the pool had grown twice as big as when they saw them at the Lan residence, and they were jumping about vigorously. Moreover, there were many small fish in the pool.

  "Haha, Xue'er, it seems that these fish are living quite well in space!" Seeing these fish, all the greedy worms were hooked out, uh! He hadn't seen these fish for a long time either, because he was afraid that if he saw them, he wouldn't be able to help but want to eat them up!

  "Hmm." Cold-as-snow nodded and scooped out two immature small fish from the pool, put them into the ring to refine the elixir, then scooped out a nearly one-meter-long big fish, ready to taste its deliciousness.

  "Haha, Xiaoxue has finally decided to eat these fish." The ice fox, who was sleeping in the cauldron, immediately ran over upon hearing the commotion, accompanied by Cold Snow's beast companions.

  Leng Ruo Xue looked at Bing Qi and the other beasts with a mixture of helplessness and resignation, their faces filled with anticipation. She had no choice but to scoop out several more fish from the pool, sighing as she did so. The beasts' appetites were indeed huge, and she wondered if these would be enough for them to eat.

  "Mei, go call down your younger brothers." Leng Ruo Xue instructed, her older brothers were all in their own rooms cultivating!

  "Yes, master." After receiving Ling Ruo Xue's command, a white light flashed and disappeared.

  After a while, Leng Ruo Han and others arrived at the poolside. Feng Da saw the silver snow fish jumping around the pool and immediately instructed Lin Yuan and others to take action...

  "Xue Er, these subordinates of yours are quite good!" Wu said, looking at Feng Da and others who were collecting fish.

  "Of course, and also don't forget who you are under." said Leng Ruoxue with a hint of pride.

  "Xue Er, you've also learned how to be arrogant!" Wu said with a light smile.

  "This isn't called being conceited, this is a fact!" Leng Ruoxue retorted with a sly smile, how could she possibly be conceited?!

  "Miss, everything is ready." At this time, Feng Da walked up to Leng Ruoxue's side and reported.

  "Hmm, Feng Da, leave a few pieces of raw fish for me to eat, and grill the rest! " Leng Ruo Xue said with a thought, Feng Da and others' cooking skills have been trained by her to be almost perfect, so as long as they are there, she doesn't need to do it herself, hehe, great!

  "Yes, miss." Feng Da smiled and replied, he thought so too.

  "Xiaoxue, what is sashimi? Is it eaten raw?" Bing Qi asked with some curiosity, wooo... she doesn't like eating raw things!

  "Yes." Leng Ruoxue nodded.

  "Xiaoxue, can't you just not eat it? Raw is never as delicious as cooked!" Bing Qilan's eyes were welling up with tears as she pitifully said.

  "Xiao Bing, sashimi and what you think of as raw eating are not the same, hehe! You'll know soon!" said Leng Ruo Xue with a hint of mystery. Since she arrived at Huang Tian Continent, it seemed like she hadn't had sashimi before. Mainly because her brother and others weren't around, and there were too few people, so eating didn't have much meaning!

  "Oh!" Bing Qi replied with a mixture of surprise and skepticism, although the food Xiao Xue made was delicious, he still had reservations about that raw fish Xiao Xue mentioned!

  After a while, the aroma of roasted fish wafted into the noses of everyone and all the beasts, and the enticing smell brought out their appetite. Cold-as-Snow and the others, as well as the beasts, all found a spot to sit down in an orderly manner, while the beasts that were good at handling food took the initiative to help with roasting the fish...

  After a while, the raw fish slices were served on the table set by Leng Ruo Xue. Then, the roasted fish was brought up and filled the entire table!

  "Xiao Bing, come, you first try the raw fish slice." Leng Ruo Xue used her chopsticks to pick up a thin slice of fish, dipped it in sauce, and brought it to Bing Ji's mouth.

  "Alright, um!" Bing Qi reluctantly opened his mouth and swallowed the thin slice of fish. Who knew that it would melt in his mouth as soon as he ate it? However, the freshness of the fish and the spiciness of the sauce lingered in his mouth for a long time, refusing to disperse!

  "How is it?" asked Leng Ruo Xue, looking at Bing Ji's slightly stunned face with a light smile.

  "How can this be?" Wu also curiously ate a piece of raw fish, and after finishing it, he asked with a surprised face, the taste was truly unimaginable, completely different from what he had imagined.

  "Haha, enjoy your meal!" Feng Da laughed and said, his reaction was almost the same as Wu's when he first ate it.

  "Hmm, the refreshing taste has a sweet and fresh flavor, I didn't expect it to be so delicious when eaten raw." He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, then continued to devour it mouthful after mouthful!

  "Xiaoxue, give me one of those. The last one I had just melted in my mouth." Ice Ky said after a while.

  "Good." Leng Ruo Xue brought another piece and sent it into Bing Ji's mouth.

  After eating this piece of ice cream, he kept licking his lips and still had a savoring expression on his face!

  "Haha!" Leng Ruo Xue looked at Bing Ji's small face and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

  "Xiaoxue, how can this raw fish slice be so delicious? The taste is completely different from the raw meat I've had before!" Bingji exclaimed in surprise.

  "Of course, it's different now. Silver snow fish itself likes cold temperatures, so the meat is even fresher and more suitable for eating raw. However, the ones you ate before are not the same. If they can be eaten cooked, no one would want to eat them raw." Cold Snow smiled and said.

  "Hmm, yes. I used to not know how to eat cooked food when I was alone, but after following my master, I learned." Bing Qi sighed and said, "Alas! Beasts like us can only receive such good treatment if we follow a good master!"

  "Hehe, the lovely master is the best master in the world." Baby jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms, coquettishly saying, and of course, still rubbing against her lovely master.

  "Ah, my master is also very good." Bing Qi said, however, the master only has one beast, so it's not as lively here as Little Snow's place.

  At this time, Leng Ruo Xue seemed to have suddenly thought of something, stood up and put some food on the table into her storage ring.

  "Xue Er, what are you going to do?" The demon couldn't help but ask upon seeing Xue Er's actions.

  "I'll go give some to Zheng En and Grandpa Du." Leng Ruo Xue said, almost forgetting about them!

  "I'll go with you." The demon also stood up and said.

  "No need, you eat first, I'll be right back." Leng Ruoxue said, and then directly flashed out.

  Soon, Leng Ruoxue returned.

  "You little monster, didn't I tell you to eat first?" said Leng Ruoxue with a hint of helplessness as she looked at the little monster staring back at her.

  "When you're not here, I lose my appetite." The demon's obsidian-like eyes sparkled with starlight, gazing at Cold-as-Snow with a hint of grievance.

  "Hmm! Good boy, I'll feed you." Leng Ruoxue hastily coaxed, sighing that this demon sometimes acted like a child, always liking to throw tantrums!

  "This is just about right." The demon was satisfied, and a captivating smile appeared on his stunningly handsome face!

  Leng Ruoxue picked up a piece of roasted fish and brought it to the demon's mouth, coaxing him into eating it. After finishing, the demon's mood improved, and his smile also increased!

  The beasts looked at the slightly complacent demon with contempt, their hearts secretly resentful. Humph! Such a big person, still likes to throw tantrums, despicable! At this time, they had already forgotten that they were actually the same, not much better than the demon!

  After finishing the sumptuous banquet of silver snow fish, Feng Da and others, as well as the beasts, took the initiative to undertake the cleaning work. Leng Ruo Xue entered the alchemy room in the purple bamboo house with Yao Jie to prepare for the refining of the Silver Snow Pill.

  After entering the alchemy room, Leng Ruo Xue carefully found the formula for Yin Xue Dan from the prescription left by her master.

  Yin Xue Dan is a top-grade pill, apart from the main ingredient being Yin Xue fish, it also requires several auxiliary ingredients such as Yin Ling Cao and Wu Wei Hua, which she happened to have in her possession. After taking out the required medicinal materials, Leng Ruo Xue took out the pill furnace and began formally refining the Yin Xue Dan!

  First, the dan furnace was ignited and preheated. Cold-as-snow then put several herbs into it one after another. After all the medicinal liquid had melted, she finally put the main ingredient, Silver Snow Fish, into the furnace. Soon, the high temperature of the dan furnace melted the Silver Snow Fish, mixing it with the medicinal liquid. Next came the purification process. After purification, what was originally a ball of medicine the size of a blue orb became only as big as an infant's fist. Finally, came the most crucial step - solidification!

  After throwing out the Cong Dan's law with her dancing hands, she sat quietly in front of the dan furnace and waited. A moment later, the dan furnace floated out with a unique fragrance of dan medicine, and she knew that the dan was successful! It is said that the success rate of Silver Snow Dan is very low, but she succeeded once, which made her feel extremely happy.

  She hastily opened the dan furnace, and saw that in the center of the dan furnace lay more than a dozen crystal-like dan medicines, their bodies transparent, emitting the unique fragrance of silver snow fish. Cold as snow, she was stunned for a moment, eh! This was her first time seeing fish-flavored dan medicine! Heh heh, indeed, the world is vast and full of wonders!

  Cold as snow took out the jade small bottle that had been prepared early, and filled it with the elixir from the furnace. Then she stood up and said to the demon guarding beside her: "Demon, let's go!"

  "Good." Seeing Xue'er successfully refine the Silver Snow Pill, Yao Yu was also delighted. Hehe, this should be Xue'er's second time refining a heavenly-grade pill, it seems that Xue'er's status as a Dan Master is unquestionable!

  The two left the alchemy room and walked out of the Purple Bamboo House, only to see Wu Zheng sitting on a stone chair not far away from the house, sipping tea. His dark, bright eyes were filled with a hint of a smile as he looked at them.

  "Did the refining succeed?" asked Wu Lian without a care.

  "Hmm." Cold as snow nodded and pulled the demon child down to sit across from Wu.

  "How come you haven't gone to rest yet?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with some curiosity.

  "I couldn't sleep, at my level, apart from cultivation, sleeping isn't the main thing." Wu said without explanation, in fact, he often sat alone until dawn, and sleep had no substantial significance for him.

  "I understand, you're getting old! People who are older always act like this, sleeping less!" Cold Snow teased.

  "Uh!" A couple of cold sweat drops fell from his forehead, somewhat helplessly. Uh... Was Xue Er looking down on him?

  "Xue Er, you despise me!" Wu Kongsui exclaimed.

  "Where is it? I'm telling the truth! Don't worry, although you're not young anymore, but your looks are still youthful." Leng Ruo Xue said with a hint of envy after sizing her up for a long time.

  "Don't worry, when you reach my age, you'll be as young as I am." Wu An comforted.

  "I'm not afraid, I've still got a long way to go before I reach your age!" Leng Ruoxue said nonchalantly, but she believed that when she became an old lady one day, the demon would not despise her either, because by then, the demon would also be an old codger! Hehe! Thinking of this, she couldn't help but secretly laugh to herself!

  "Xue Er, what are you thinking? You're smiling so slyly?" Wu couldn't help but ask curiously, looking at the expression on Xue's cold face.

  "It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of that day with you and Lao Yao!" said Cold Snow as she glanced at Lao Yao.

  "Xue Er, we won't get old." The demon had a lot of black lines on his forehead, and he said with a sigh, looking at Xue Er's expression, he knew what she was thinking. How could they possibly get old? No matter how old they got, their appearance would never change!

  "Hmm." Leng Ruoxue nodded repeatedly, "The demon said it won't age, so it won't age."

  "Xue Er, are you planning on going out to upgrade your rank?" Wu asked with some curiosity.

  "Yes, I don't know if I can advance to the rank of Xuan Wang." Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat dejectedly. Her cultivation method was mainly based on 'Inverting Heaven's Secret', and only when 'Inverting Heaven's Secret' reached the conditions for advancement could she promote her own Xuan Shi to the corresponding level. However, now her 'Inverting Heaven's Secret' obviously had not reached the conditions that would allow her to advance to the rank of Xuan Wang!

  "You go try it then, anyway, it's just a Silver Snow Pill." Wu Jian said indifferently.

  "Hmm, I'll go with Yao Jiao to find a secluded place to try it out." said Leng Ruo Xue.

  "You can go to the place I took you last time, it's very remote and almost no one goes there." Wu reminded him that this was his private forbidden land, unless he got his permission, otherwise, no one dared to enter.

  "Good." Leng Ruoxue and Yao Jie left the ring, and Ling cast a stealth spell on them. They then snuck away from Xianyao Building and arrived at the back mountain of Xuanshi General Assembly, where they had not been before.

  Arriving at the back mountain, Cold-as-Snow summoned the small Peacock from its ring and sat on its back with the demon, letting the small Peacock carry them down the mountain stream.

  Arriving at the bottom of the ravine, Cold-as-Snow and the demon found a spacious place and took out all their beasts from the shackles. Then, they each found a huge rock to sit on with their legs crossed.

  Leng Ruo Xue took out two Silver Snow Pills and handed one to Yao Jiao, saying: "Eat it!"

  "Xue Er, you eat first, wait until you advance in rank and then I'll eat." The demon said, he wanted to advance in rank with Xue Er together!

  "We'll eat together, it's okay if I don't advance in rank, you can protect me after you've advanced." Leng Ruoxue said, she didn't know if she could advance either, but if the demon could advance to become a Xuanwang first, then their strength would also increase greatly.

  "Alright then, let's eat together!" The demon said helplessly, wu... Actually, he could have protected Xue Er even if he didn't advance to the Mystic King level, because...

  "Hmm." Cold-as-snow nodded, and the two of them put the Silver Snow Pill into their mouths together.

  After taking the Yinxue Dan, not long after, the heavenly rule of promotion arrived, and the demon was promoted first, while Leng Ruxue still had no movement.

  The beasts as cold as snow, their eyes fixed tightly on their master, afraid that the master would have any discomfort. Alas! The master's situation they are aware of, so, their hearts are all tense!

  After the demonic prodigy's promotion was complete, he opened his pitch-black starry eyes. At this time, his breathing became even more restrained, and the aura on his body was as sharp and intimidating as a treasured sword being unsheathed!

  After being promoted to Xuan Wang, Yao Jie slightly adjusted his breath and also stared at Leng Ruo Xue with a fierce gaze like the other beasts.

  At this time, Leng Ruo Xue's face showed a painful expression. After taking the Silver Snow Pill, the mysterious energy in her body suddenly went wild, raging inside her like a hurricane. The massive spiritual energy contained within the Silver Snow Pill quickly merged with the violent mysterious energy after entering her body...

  At first, the two powers collided and competed for their own territory. Later, the spiritual energy gradually retreated and was absorbed by the mysterious power in Leng Ruoxue's body, transforming into mysterious power to fill her internal deficiency.

  With the spiritual energy supplement from the Silver Snow Pill, Leng Ruoxue quickly felt the barrier to advancing in rank. She took a deep breath and mobilized the Xuanli within her body to launch a fierce attack on the barrier. With a crisp "crack", she finally broke through the Grandmaster level and officially advanced to the Xuanwang rank...

  After witnessing the heavenly rules of Jinjie descending, the demonic creatures and beasts that had been guarding Cong Ruo Xue's body finally put their minds at ease.

  Leng Ruo Xue absorbed as much of the benefits brought by the descent of the Heavenly Rules as possible before they dissipated, then adjusted her breath slightly and slowly opened her beautiful eyes.

  "Yao jie, mei... what's wrong with you?" Leng Ruo Xue looked at the men and beasts surrounding her, feeling a bit uneasy. Eh! Their expressions were so solemn!

  "Xuě er, thank you for your hard work." The demon sympathized and said with a sigh. Ah! Just now, seeing Xuě er's pain, he really wanted to take her place and bear it, but he didn't dare disturb Xuě er, and could only watch with his eyes wide open... This feeling is really not good!

  "Master!" The demonic beasts all called out softly, and they all looked at Leng Ruoxue with tears in their eyes.

  "Hey, don't be like that!" Leng Ruoxue hastily said. She admitted that it hurt a bit earlier, but she really didn't want to see them so worried. Besides, wasn't she fine now?

  "Master, I'm going to advance!" Mei suddenly shouted, wu... it hadn't even had time to worry about its master yet, how could it be advancing so quickly?!

  As soon as Mei's words fell, the heavenly rules of Jinjie descended on the mountain valley one after another. The beasts followed suit, advancing in a relay-like manner, each one upgrading their ranks, and their upgrades brought great benefits to Leng Ruoxue!

  "Haha, Master, I've advanced to a Super Divine Beast and it's even a 2nd-level one!" Feng Zhan transformed into a bird-like creature and flew onto Leng Ruo Xue's shoulder to report.

  "Not bad!" Leng Ruoxue gently stroked Feng Zhan's feathers, praising him.

  "Master, I'm also a Super Divine Beast now." Mei also jumped into Leng Ruo Xue's arms and rubbed against her.

  "Hmm, great!" Leng Ruoxue stroked Mei's soft fur, satisfied with the fact that after this promotion, Mei had advanced to a first-level Super Divine Beast.

  Her gaze shifted to the other beasts, and after a glance, she was extremely satisfied. Except for Baobao and Qiuqiu, all of her beasts had advanced in rank this time. Among them, BaoBei, Yu, and Ling had all become 9th-level divine beasts, while Bai Xue had advanced to a 5th-level super divine beast. Although it was only one rank higher, he was still the strongest among all her beasts!

  "Hey, kitty, I'm also a super divine beast now!" At this time, Feng Zhan flew in front of Bai Xu again, deliberately provoking him.

  "You're just a dead bird, even if you became a super divine beast, your level is still not higher than mine, what's there to be proud of." Bai Xue said with a slight raise of her eyelids and a hint of disdain.

  "Master, I request a duel with this dead cat!" Feng Zhan said, looking at Leng Ruo Xue with great discontent.
