Xiao Ming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the letter containing the secret that his mother had given him.

---

In the Lingyin Hall, they had solved half of their problems, which greatly reduced Zhang Xiaojiang's pressure. After all, a good start is half the battle.

"By the way, I almost forgot. Xiao Jing, we had an unexpected gain this time. We found a broken cave, and although there wasn't much good stuff, the spirit herbs inside were quite old. I checked, and they should be enough to refine a decent Gu Ben Pei Yuan Pill."

Seeing the pile of spirit herbs that Wang Meng took out, Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaopang were once again stunned. Even when she saw a pile of spirit stones, Hu Jing had never been so delighted.

"Heaven! This is a hundred-year-old Dragon Whisker Grass. It's so hard to find!" Hu Jing's face lit up with a radiant smile. For a pill cultivator, what could be more important than materials?

Every sect must cultivate pill cultivators, but pill cultivation is the most luxurious form of cultivation. A large amount of treasure might be wasted, but without good materials, it's impossible to cultivate good pill cultivators.

That's why the Zhou family has a special status in the Holy Hall. No matter how much they compete, no one wants to provoke the Zhou family. Who knows when they might have a bad day? They can't do without medicinal pills.

Moreover, the Zhou family possesses several famous pill formulas in the Small Thousand World.

Suddenly, Hu Jing sighed, "I should give it to my master. She has a better chance of success. Such good materials might be wasted in my hands."

Wang Meng shook his head, "Xiao Jing, you're making a big mistake. The most precious thing in the world is failure. The experience it brings is something no success can give. These things are external. One day, when you become a powerful pill cultivator, our lives will be better. Isn't that right, Master Zhang?"

"That's absolutely correct. Jingjing, listen to Brother Meng. Your master can only lead you to the door; cultivation is up to you. Can you rely on Elder Zhao for your whole life? I support you!"

"You two rascals!"

Though she said this, the usually calm Hu Jing was deeply moved. She had always been indifferent to external things, which is why she could become friends with Wang Meng and Zhang Xiaojiang. There might be many who could share hardships, but how many could share prosperity?

They had been in the Small Thousand World for some time, but friends were still friends!

"Don't worry, a mere Gu Ben Pei Yuan Pill won't be a problem for me!"

Wang Meng and Zhang Xiaojiang both gave her a thumbs up. This was Hu Jing, the ever-confident fairy!

This would be an important step for Hu Jing on the path of pill cultivation.

In the Holy Hall's Fengyun Pavilion, Zhang Liang had been pondering for some time. There was something fishy about this.

The Lingyin Hall had issued a task that caused a lot of discussion, but it was completed very quickly. Almost everyone thought it was a ruse by the Lingyin Hall, but Zhang Liang didn't think so.

Though his cultivation wasn't high, he was good at reading people. Li Tianyi was definitely not the type to do such a thing. This kind of person was naturally a dominant strong one.

If it wasn't a ruse, then they must have really found the person. His friends had been gathering information in the Lingyin Hall, and though the Lingyin Hall was tight-lipped, they managed to get some clues. It was said that the person was found, but a secret agreement was reached.

Zhang Liang was itching with curiosity. He didn't cultivate to ascend and achieve enlightenment; he knew his limits. But uncovering the secrets of the strong gave him immense pleasure, and these secrets often fetched a good price. He was already somewhat famous in his circle.

He had connections with big figures like Senior Sister Yang Ying and Senior Brother Liang Yuan. These people wanted valuable information, and as long as he provided it, they were never stingy.

It satisfied his interests, brought benefits, and allowed him to meet famous people. It was a win-win situation.

He didn't believe that as long as this person was in the Holy Hall, they could escape his search.

At that moment, the seventh-ranked task on the main hall's task board, the Lei Chi Double-Headed Thunder Python, dimmed. Someone had completed it!

This caused a crowd to gather. Damn, it was like seeing a ghost. Who was so crazy to take on such a monster?

Everyone was discussing it. Lei Chi was a hellish place, and someone was willing to go there. Snake demons were incredibly cunning and were among the types no one wanted to provoke.

The Leiguang Hall?

Zhang Liang suddenly smiled. Even if the entire Leiguang Hall were to be thrown in, it would probably just be enough for the Thunder Python to have a good meal.

Zhang Liang's intuition told him that it was likely the person Li Tianyi had found who did it!

He was incredibly excited!

But Zhang Liang didn't plan to go to the Leiguang Hall. There was a high chance that this expert came from the main hall, possibly an elder or even a new disciple of the patriarch. Since the task was completed, they probably wouldn't stay long. Since Li Tianyi completed the ninth task, he would complete the seventh. Would they continue?

As long as one of them made a move, he could verify his guess!

This made Zhang Liang feel the excitement of being in the midst of a battle.

Zhou Feng, an elder of the main hall, was also the next generation of pill cultivators in the Zhou family, the successor recognized by Elder Zhou Luodan.

"Zhou Elder, the inner core of the Thunder Python you requested has been delivered."

A pill cultivator disciple stood respectfully outside the door. Zhou Feng was second only to Patriarch Zhou Luodan in the hearts of the pill cultivator disciples. Moreover, Zhou Elder was the most kind and often helped and guided everyone, unlike other elders who had their noses in the air.

"Put it there."

Zhou Feng wasn't too excited. He had been trying this pill formula for over two years but had always failed. One of the ingredients was the inner core of a snake demon, and the Zhou family wasn't short of one. However, the main hall knew he needed the inner core of a snake demon, so they issued this task, achieving two goals at once.

Zhou Feng was very stubborn. Even though the patriarch had advised him to give up, he refused. If he gave up now, wouldn't he give up every time he faced a problem in the future? What kind of pill cultivator would he be then?

The Lingxu Pill was an ancient formula, discovered by a disciple by chance. How could someone like Zhou Feng, who was obsessed with pills, let it go? In his research, he found that it was a formula to treat the condition of fire entering the mind, and he was even more determined not to let it go. But every time he was just one step away from success, he failed.

A regular pill cultivator would have given up long ago, but Zhou Feng refused to do so, and even the patriarch couldn't do anything about it.

Fire control? Insufficient medicinal power? Poor pill furnace?

Over the years, he had almost ruled out all possibilities, but he still failed. What was he missing?

Zhou Feng opened the jade bottle, and a strong aura of primordial energy filled the air, but it didn't make Zhou Feng feel anything. To help him refine pills, he had obtained even stronger inner cores, but they were useless.

"Hmm... the smell... Wait, what is this smell?"

Zhou Feng looked closely and saw that inside the jade bottle were a Fish Scale Grass and three slices of Snow Ginseng.

"Fish Scale Grass can dispel demonic qi, and Snow Ginseng can enhance yin supplementation. Fire entering the mind requires yin supplementation, but it also needs yang nourishment. Yin moistens and yang nourishes..."

Zhou Feng murmured, "Yin moistens and yang nourishes, yin moistens and yang nourishes, yes, yes, yes!"

(Recently, there have been more class reunions. Why does everyone greet me with, 'Ah, how did you lose weight again!'... But I've actually gained a pound, a pound!)
