Ye Feng had no idea what Dong Dongqiang was up to.

At the moment, he stood at the peak, watching Wang Ping’an guzzling Spirit Spring Water, with an odd expression on his face, he said, “Isn’t it just Spirit Spring Water? Why are you drinking it like you haven’t had water in hundreds of years?”
Wang Ping’an took a few more big gulps, before lying satisfactorily on the ground facing upwards, a look of pure enjoyment on his face.
“This water is simply too delicious! Master… Sect Leader, if I use Spirit Spring Water for alchemy in the future, I can definitely greatly improve the quality of elixirs.”
Having said that, Wang Ping’an picked up a wooden ladle and gulped down a few more mouthfuls of Spirit Spring Water.
“Is the effect really that good?” Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.
His gaze shifted downwards to the Purifying Green Lotus growing in the Spiritual Spring.
After a period of nurturing, the Purifying Green Lotus was nearing maturity. Its fragrance could spread across the entire summit of Misty Peak, and its purifying effect had improved a lot as well.
It seemed that the effectiveness of the Spirit Spring Water was inseparable from the purifying effect of the Purifying Green Lotus.
Wang Ping’an patted his belly, saying, “This water really is too tasty. I’ve never in my life had water this good, I could go without food and just drink water all day long.”
To Ye Feng, this statement felt oddly familiar.
That’s right!
Yan Ruyu had said the same thing before.
And yet, she was eating more than anyone else!
“It looks like our Misty Sect has gained another glutton, and our strange daily expenses have increased again,” Ye Feng muttered.
He turned to Wang Ping’an and said, “Ping An, now that you are a Registered Disciple of our Misty Sect, I have a task for you. You are to refine an Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill within the next fifteen days.”
This was a task just issued by the System.
Once completed, Wang Ping’an could be promoted to an Outer Sect Disciple.
“An Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill?” Wang Ping’an sat up straight, “Sect Leader, that’s simple. If there are enough spiritual medicines, I can refine it today.”
“That quickly?” Ye Feng was surprised.
Wang Ping’an was only at the third level of Qi Refinement; could he really refine an Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill? That was Upper Grade, typically aligned with the seventh level of Qi Refinement.
Under Ye Feng’s gaze, Wang Ping’an pulled out a booklet, turned to page 35, and found the pill recipe for the Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill.
“To refine this elixir, you’ll need three mace of ten-year-old mint and two mace of three-year-old Detoxifying Spirit Fruit…”
Wang Ping’an began to read aloud.
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow, “You haven’t actually refined one before, have you?”
Wang Ping’an said earnestly, “Everyone has a first time. I might lack experience, but I am confident I can succeed within a day.”
“Well, we’ll talk once you’ve made it,” Ye Feng said as he sat down in a lounge chair.
At that moment, Ji Ziling passed by, hugging a large stack of books.
“Ziling, do you really like reading that much?” Ye Feng asked.
“I wish I could bury myself in books all day and learn all there is to know about this world,” Ji Ziling nodded seriously.
Hearing this, Ye Feng glanced at the Scripture Pavilion and said, “Well then, from now on, you’ll be the manager of the Scripture Pavilion.”
“A manager?”
“You can think of it as an acting Pavilion Master.”
“Really?”
Ji Ziling’s eyes were filled with surprise.
Ye Feng nodded, “Of course. Why would I joke about such a thing?”
“Thank you, Sect Leader!” Ji Ziling quickly sat down next to Ye Feng and began to inquire about the responsibilities of an acting Pavilion Master.
“As an acting Pavilion Master, you need to ensure the safety of the scriptures and that no items go missing. Ideally, each ancient book should be protected by formations, and without the consent of either me, the Sect Leader, or you, the acting Pavilion Master, no one should be able to take them out of the Scripture Pavilion. Also, you can assign codes and indexes to the books, which would make them easier to find and inventory…”
Ye Feng, being a former model student who spent his days in libraries, had good understanding of such matters.
As she heard these novel suggestions, Ji Ziling’s eyes widened, continually jotting down notes, afraid that she might miss something.
“Alright, go on and attend to your matters!”
Having sent Ji Ziling away, Ye Feng found Shi Lei and mentioned his idea of constructing the Alchemy Pavilion.
“Sect Leader is preparing to establish the Alchemy Pavilion? No problem, this disciple will go to the Hardwood Plains to cut timber right away, and then I’ll build a pavilion on the empty mountaintop that will satisfy Sect Master Uncle,” Shi Lei promised, patting his chest.
“Thank you for your hard work!” Ye Feng patted Shi Lei on the shoulder, feeling that his senior disciple was doing quite well, bearing burdens without complaint and working proactively.
In modern times, he would definitely be a top employee.
…
Shi Lei went to cut wood.
Ji Ziling sat on the first floor of the Scripture Pavilion, organizing ancient books and assigning them numbers. When encountering something she did not understand, she would occasionally consult Ye Feng, or study the books to absorb the experience of predecessors.
By the cliffside.
Wang Ping’an started the fire for cooking.
After half a day of busyness, “Chef Wang,” with the help of Jia Yu Lan, the person in charge of the Spiritual Medicine Garden, found the materials for refining an Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill.
He still used the iron pot method for alchemy.
First, he weighed the herbs.
Next, he used a stone mill to grind them into a pulp.
Then, he boiled it in the pot.
Long Tian Xing, having nothing to do, pulled Qiao Jiaxi, who had just been beaten black and blue by the Armored Guardians, over to the side. Pointing at the black rock burning beneath the black pot, he noticed that despite burning for a long time, it had not extinguished, piquing his curiosity.
“Junior Brother, what is this?” Long Tian Xing asked.
“This is Blackglow Firestone, uniquely found on Little Emerald Peak. It can burn for a long time and allows precise control of the flame,” Wang Ping’an explained.
“To think there is such a marvelous thing, I’ve gained some knowledge,” muttered Qiao Jiaxi, while Long Tian Xing also found it incredible.
Soon, the water in the pot was gone.
The walls of the pot were coated with the shiny essence of the spiritual medicine, which Wang Ping’an scraped into a pottery jar, added water, stirred quickly, and after filtering out the impurities, he let it settle.
The following procedures were identical to those when refining a Lower Grade Cultivation Qi Pill.
Looking at the three blue and white pills in Wang Ping’an’s hand, Qiao Jiaxi and Long Tian Xing were very curious, so they asked, “Junior Brother, is it considered refined now?”
Wang Ping’an spoke seriously, “Not yet! Right now, I’ve only completed the extraction of the spiritual medicine essence, which is the first step. Next, I need to temper it with spiritual fire to induce a true transformation, only then will it become an elixir.”
After saying that, flames ignited in the palm of his hand.
The three pills floated in the flames, absorbing the spiritual fire and emitting a blue light, becoming increasingly bright and eye-catching.
Puff!
One pill disintegrated into powder.
Puff!
The second pill also broke apart.
The last pill was tough and survived. Under the tempering of the spiritual fire, blue and golden lines covered its surface, and it emitted a pervasive medicinal fragrance, finally turning into an elixir.
“Haha, I’ve refined it!”
Wang Ping’an held the elixir and, with a face full of excitement, ran to Ye Feng, presenting the Upper Grade Detoxifying Qi Pill.
“Ding, Registered Disciple Wang Ping’an has completed the Outer Sect Disciple assessment and can be promoted to Outer Sect Disciple. Congratulations to the Sect Leader for obtaining a small gift pack x1.”
The System’s prompt sounded at the same time.
Ye Feng stared at the pill, his face as surprised as it could be.
In less than half a day, Wang Ping’an had refined the elixir?
This speed was way too fast!
