Zhao Shicheng looked at Yan Zhaoge and nodded slowly: "Yan Zhaoge has always been talented, and now it seems that he hadn't even revealed all his potential before."

"Today he truly showed his prowess, or you could say, it's the result of long-term accumulation from another perspective."

Yan Zhaoge bowed to Zhao Shicheng: "Uncle, you flatter me."

"Instead, I owe you for this time."

Zhao Shicheng and Elder Qin joined forces to repel the Dongsheng Jun of the Great Sun Holy Sect, which was no different from making a clear choice between Guangcheng Mountain and the Great Sun Holy Sect.

Dongtang is part of the Tian Dongzhou in the Heavenly Domain, and has always been aligned with Guangcheng Mountain.

However, the Great Sun Holy Sect is now powerful, and the territory of Dongtang directly borders the Fire Region controlled by the Great Sun Holy Sect.

A full-scale war between the two holy sites would be fraught with concerns, but for the Great Sun Holy Sect to deal with Dongtang would be as easy as turning over one's hand.

Even if Guangcheng Mountain were to hold them accountable afterward, the actual damage and disaster suffered by Dongtang would be real.

Material and territorial losses could be compensated for and reclaimed, but the dead cannot be brought back to life.

Zhao Shicheng shook his head: "This reform of the Dan Shi Pavilion was meant to drive Shi Lie out, and making a stance against the Great Sun Holy Sect was inevitable."

"I have always been aligned with Guangcheng, and the Great Sun Holy Sect is well aware of this. This time, it's just putting everything on the table."

His old friend's only son was threatened in Dongtang, and Zhao Shicheng would naturally not stand idly by.

No matter what, he would support Yan Zhaoge to the end.

Elder Qin immediately reaffirmed: "The situation is special, and I will be stationed in Dongtang for the time being."

"Thank you, Elder Qin." Although facing the immense pressure from the Great Sun Holy Sect, Zhao Shicheng remained composed.

He looked at Yan Zhaoge: "I didn't know before that you had such deep expertise in alchemy."

Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly: "Uncle, you flatter me. I've only recently obtained some materials and have been studying on my own, making some progress, but it's not yet systematic and needs further research."

Zhao Shicheng sighed: "The method of transferring elixirs with golden needles, like the inner crystal furnace, is a secret technique that was completely lost after the Great Catastrophe, known only by name."

"Your luck is truly remarkable."

As Zhao Shicheng spoke, he couldn't help but tease Yan Zhaoge, but his tone and expression were quite serious.

Yan Xu and the others were slightly taken aback: "Transferring elixirs with golden needles?"

Elder Qin, however, had already heard some rumors from the sect, so he wasn't very surprised.

As the top leader of Tian Dongzhou, with Yan Zhaoge active in his area, he naturally needed to be informed of some matters.

"Wasn't it said that you were still experimenting? Have you already mastered it?" Elder Qin's face showed a hint of joy.

Yan Zhaoge nodded and smiled: "I'm still researching, but I've become gradually proficient with some of the more basic elixirs."

Zhao Shicheng shook his head: "Healing elixirs are one thing, but Yun Yun San is not a basic elixir; it is a holy healing elixir."

After hearing Elder Qin and Zhao Shicheng's explanations, the others gradually understood what was happening.

Yan Xu's expression was unchanged, but the coldness in his eyes, which had been present when he stared at Yan Zhaoge, had completely disappeared, leaving only calmness.

This did not mean that the previous events were like passing clouds.

On the contrary, Yan Xu now viewed Yan Zhaoge on the same level as himself, without any condescension.

At this moment, even though Yan Zhaoge's cultivation and realm were far below his, Yan Xu placed Yan Zhaoge on an equal footing.

The method of refining with an inner crystal furnace, the essence of transforming cloud-patterned stones into jade, the method of transferring elixirs with golden needles, and his extraordinary martial talent and potential...

Things can happen once or twice, but not three or four times.

Once or twice might be a coincidence, but if it happens every time, coincidence becomes inevitability.

Yan Xu quietly glanced at Yan Zhaoge and then withdrew his gaze, seemingly no longer paying attention.

But in reality, he was even more focused, and his determination was even more resolute.

Considering the succession, when the competition among the second generation reaches a stalemate, an outstanding third generation could significantly influence the final decision of the older generation.

Few people knew that Yan Xu's fear and vigilance toward Yan Zhaoge and his father were far greater than others.

This was not just due to factional struggles but also involved deep-seated fears in his heart.

As Yan Di grew stronger and his influence expanded, Yan Xu already felt uneasy.

"If they find out about that incident from years ago, which is related to me..."

"I thought the threat was only from Yan Di, but now it's not just Yan Di. If this continues, this young man will also become a significant threat."

"Because of him, Yan Di's influence is even growing, possibly surpassing Elder Fang. If this continues..."

Yan Xu took a deep breath, his gaze becoming even calmer and more obscure.

The hesitation in his heart was now gone.

The other high-ranking martial artists of Guangcheng Mountain had mixed feelings when they looked at Yan Zhaoge.

Those close to the Yan Di faction were delighted and found it hard to believe, while those close to the Fang Zhun faction felt extremely conflicted.

After all, they were also part of Guangcheng Mountain, and the emergence of such a talented young genius in their sect was a source of pride and joy for the sect.

But this rising star belonged to the opposing faction.

Yan Zhaoge could roughly guess what the others were thinking.

Now, he was laying the groundwork for the future, preparing to refine a divine elixir as a decisive move for his father's competition for the position of sect leader.

This elixir had never appeared in the Eight Great Worlds after the Great Catastrophe, and no one would recognize it when it was refined.

Unlike treasure weapons and spirit weapons, which martial artists can communicate with and test, elixirs are something to be consumed, and it's hard to predict the reaction after consumption.

There have been cases where an elixir is a great benefit to most people but a deadly poison to a few.

This inevitably causes others to have concerns, so Yan Zhaoge needed to lay the groundwork in advance.

He needed to create an impression: "Yan Zhaoge is not just dabbling in elixirs; he has a high level of expertise and is trustworthy."

To avoid being too abrupt and drawing attention, this groundwork needed to be done step by step, gradually.

While laying the groundwork, he would continue to consolidate Guangcheng Mountain's control over Dongtang, pushing back the Great Sun Holy Sect's influence, achieving multiple goals.

After fully understanding the situation, Elder Qin nodded slightly at Zhao Shicheng: "First, I must congratulate the ruler, who has another outstanding son."

Zhao Shicheng's expression was calm: "Hao, indeed, exceeded my expectations, but many things still need to be verified."

"Furthermore, although Shi Lie lost his share in the Dan Shi Pavilion to Zhaoge, I know him well; he won't give up so easily."

"Over the years, he has placed many people in the Dan Shi Pavilion, including key positions, which need to be cleared out."

"But this can be completed in a few days," Zhao Shicheng said calmly.

Elder Qin nodded: "I am well aware of the ruler's methods."

He then turned to Yan Zhaoge: "Yan Zhaoge, you have once again made significant contributions."

"Let's set aside other matters for now, and let the sect decide. Within my authority, I can reward you for your contributions to the Dan Shi Pavilion this time."

"You have developed the ancient method of transferring elixirs with golden needles, which can effectively improve the quality of elixirs, and successfully expelled the Great Sun Holy Sect's infiltration of the Dongtang Dan Shi Pavilion."

"Besides the share you won from Prince Jing Zhao Shicheng, the shares that our sect secretly held in the Dan Shi Pavilion will also be yours."

"All the income and output will be allocated by you personally. If the sect has any needs, you won't be shortchanged, and we will exchange at market price or with other resources you desire."

"Matters related to the Dan Shi Pavilion will be decided by you."

Yan Zhaoge smiled slightly: "Thank you, Elder Qin."

The others looked at each other, and Yan Xu remained expressionless.
