Everyone gathered around, especially the three Great Demon Kings, Xiao Kun, Shali, and She Lan, who were staring intently at the Immortal Pill, their eyes wide open.

This pill was what they had been dreaming of.

"Since you all want it, just take it!"

Since the Seven-Life Primordial Demon Pill couldn't be used to increase cultivation, Brother Cheng was generous enough to give it to these three, six pills each.

The three were overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Even the three Elders of the Celestial Pavilion were a bit envious.

The Celestial Pavilion did have Seven-Life Primordial Demon Pills, but not of this high quality.

Off to the side, Jiyun, Wu Jue, and others sourly curled their lips, lamenting that they weren't Demon Cultivators themselves and could only make snide remarks.

"Do you three have any shame?"

"That's right, Sect Leader Jiang has supported you all along, and not only do you not repay him, you even dare to take his pills?"

"So greedy, so inconsiderate, I disdain you all!"

"What else can you expect from Demon Cultivators?"

Xiao Kun, Shali, and She Lan were happy with their pills and didn't take offense.

On the contrary, they deliberately flaunted their pills with a grin.

"Is your jealousy going to help?"

"These were rewarded by Sect Leader Jiang, how could we not accept them? Otherwise, wouldn't that be disrespectful?"

"This reward signifies our different status in Sect Leader Jiang's eyes compared to you, hahaha!"

At that moment, Miao Yu suddenly spoke.

"This stage is still ongoing."

Those words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly waking everyone up.

"That's right!"

"Why haven't we passed yet?"

The scene hadn't changed.

The Pill Furnace remained, and there were still plenty of precious materials around.

"Could it be that the Seventh-grade Immortal Pill isn't enough?"

"This is a top-quality Seventh-grade pill!"

"Could it be that we need an Eighth grade?"

Even Du Chen Immortal King couldn't help but roar: "This is ridiculous, there's simply no Eighth-grade Immortal Alchemist in the Middle Immortal Realm!"

"This stage wasn't meant to be passed, was it?"

"Damn, what should we do now?"

Seeing that the Seventh-grade Immortal Pill couldn't get them through, Brother Cheng was also speechless.

He had worked hard for forty-nine days!

All his previous flaunting combined wasn't as tiring as this, and this was the result?

After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to make another attempt.

Given his alchemy skills, an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill wasn't hard.

What really troubled him was the time; the fastest method still required sixty-four days.

In fact, for other Pill Masters who might take years or even decades to refine a single batch of Immortal Pills, this was an enviably short time.

"Sigh, looks like I'll have to put in some effort."

The others didn't understand until they saw him fly to the Pill Furnace again.

Du Chen looked incredulous: "Sect Leader Jiang, could it be that you can refine Eighth-grade Immortal Pills?"

"Somewhat acquainted."

Somewhat acquainted again?

He said the same when refining the Seventh-grade Immortal Pill, yet he succeeded.

In an instant, everyone was excited.

"Looks like it might actually be possible!"

"This is unbelievable, he's actually an Eighth-Grade Immortal Alchemist?"

Xiao Kun, Wu Jue, and others were thrilled.

"Indeed, every time Sect Leader Jiang decides to take action, he's absolutely confident!"

"Haha, this one's definitely in the bag!"

"Indeed, Sect Leader Jiang can create miracles at any time..."

Soaking in this shower of praise, Sect Leader Jiang felt a bit more motivated.

Once again, he earnestly began his work.

Day by day passed.

Sixty-four days later, the day of the pill completion arrived.

Under the reflection of celestial phenomena, 24 Eighth-grade Grand Soul Returning Dust Pills glittered as they emerged from the furnace.

At this moment, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and everyone found themselves in the outside Seventh Realm.

This stage was finally cleared!

"Succeeded again!"

"Even the Eighth-grade Immortal Pill was a one-time success!"

"Sect Leader Jiang is simply godlike."

"Without him, this stage would have been unimaginable."

"That's right, even if Liuyuan, that old scoundrel, were here, he couldn't have refined an Eighth-grade Immortal Pill..."

This was unequivocally a forceful carry.

Without Brother Cheng, they wouldn't have made it through.

In no time, Du Chen Jiming and others flocked to express their gratitude.

But as they offered their thanks, their eyes couldn't leave the Eighth-grade Immortal Pill.

The Soul Returning Dust Pill was for repairing Immortal Souls.

A single pill could restore an Immortal King from a damaged to a perfect Immortal Soul status.

It was known that problems with the Immortal Soul were often very tricky.

In mild cases, it would affect progress; in severe cases, one could end up like Mo Chen back in the mortal realm.

In other words, every extra Soul Returning Dust Pill was equivalent to an additional life insurance.

This grade of pill simply didn't exist in the Middle Immortal Realm.

They had been able to remain calm with the Seventh-grade Immortal Pills, but this time, with the Eighth-grade ones, they couldn't remain calm.

However, before they could speak, Brother Cheng nonchalantly distributed the 24 Immortal Pills among the four Immortal Kings, Jiyun, Hua Yin, Wu Jue, and Jingyu.

He wasn't interested in them as they weren't for improving cultivation.

He wanted to refine Immortal Pills to enhance cultivation, but the materials provided from the last stage weren't suitable for that.

Once again, it was six pills each, keeping it fair and even.

The four who received the pills were a bit dumbfounded, unable to believe that such valuable Eighth-grade Immortal Pills were so easily given to them.

Just moments ago, the three Great Demon Kings, Xiao Kun, Shali, and She Lan, who were smug, suddenly turned envious.

They had been given Seventh-grade pills, while these guys got Eighth-grade ones!

When compared like this, it felt a bit unfair.

But unfortunately, these Immortal Pills were useless for Demon Cultivators.

Therefore, Shali Demon King could only offer his insidious advice from the sidelines: "Sect Leader Jiang, the Eighth-grade Immortal Pill is too valuable to be rewarded so casually!"

Xiao Kun also quietly whispered: "They totally aren't worthy of such a high-level reward; maybe you should give them a lower-grade one?"

Jiyun and Wu Jue finally snapped out of their ecstasy.

Upon hearing this, they nearly exploded in anger.

"Who are you to tell Sect Leader Jiang how to do things?"

"Exactly, it was rewarded by him, and even though we wouldn't dare to accept it if we were unworthy..."

"Being given Eighth-grade Immortal Pills by him signifies his higher recognition and expectations of us!"

Even Hua Yin Immortal King, a leading figure of the Ghost Alliance, sternly distanced himself from them: "You three insolent heretics, stop speaking, as if Sect Leader Jiang would be swayed by you!"

Meanwhile, Du Chen, Ji Ming, and others from the Celestial Pavilion were rubbing their hands as they approached the four Immortal Kings, smiling broadly.

"Ahem, Jiyun Immortal King, would you be interested in selling your Immortal Pills?"

"We'll offer a price you'll be satisfied with. How about considering it, Wu Jue Immortal King?"

"Given by Sect Leader Jiang, we intend to cherish it, how could we sell?"

As they went on their way, the group was quite lively.

And Brother Cheng was approached by Fairy Miao.

"How did you manage to do that?"

Before, she suspected that Jiang Cheng might have visited here before, but refining Immortal Pills was no act of 'prophecy'; it was real skill.

Having borrowed some of her wisdom before, Brother Cheng felt a tiny bit apologetic, so he was uncharacteristically sincere for once: "As you saw, I'm an alchemist, so this is naturally what I do."

"An Eighth-Grade Immortal Alchemist would be eagerly recruited by even the Upper Immortal Realm; you should have already made a name for yourself across the Immortal Realm! But I had never heard of you before."

"That's because I keep a low profile and don't care about superficial fame."

Miao Yu thought to herself, you're fooling no one; there's no bigger braggart than you on this journey.
