Many disciples at Dan Sword Peak were eager to try, but sadly, most were not much different from Luo Qifang; some didn't even have anything to present.

「Meanwhile, elsewhere.」

"Senior Sister, aren't you going to give it a try?" In the Fengyue Sect's designated area, one of the women said with a smile. "The Venerable Lord instructed you to try and overshadow the Sword Sect. Even those old geezers from Dan Sword Peak are participating."

"Utterly uninteresting," the leading woman in red said, waving her hand dismissively.

"Senior Sister, your skill in our Fengyue Sect's Alchemy Dao is truly exceptional! You should win some glory for our sect too…" another woman cooed. "Otherwise, the outside world will think our Fengyue Sect only knows how to refine Youthful Appearance Pills."

"HMPH. This is the Dan King Sect's home ground; observing is sufficient," the woman in red stated. "The elixirs I refined in just a few days certainly can't compare to those from these old masters who've been immersed in the Alchemy Dao for hundreds of years. There's no comparison."

"HEE HEE, Senior Sister, you're fibbing… Oh, Senior Sister, look! Wang Mu from the Sword Sect is here too. When the Venerable Lord returned last time, She said that this young man is extraordinary and will undoubtedly become a great enemy of the Sword Sect in the future. I don't see it, though. Aside from being a bit more handsome, there's nothing particularly special about him, is there?"

"Hmm?" The woman in red suddenly put down her wine cup. Her somewhat listless eyes instantly lit up with a brilliant gleam.

After pondering for a few seconds, the woman in red rose to her feet.

Her rising was like a radiant moon ascending in the night sky, imbuing the world with a sense of brilliance, as if even the humblest abode would shine in her presence.

In an instant, the gazes of almost everyone present converged on her.

"Then I shall go and try," the woman in red said nonchalantly.

She walked forward, her gaze sweeping over the crowd before finally settling on the Sword Sect's location.

"Quick, lower your heads! Don't look directly at her!" the senior disciples from the Sword Sect exclaimed in alarm. Many disciples didn't dare to look and hurriedly bowed their heads. "This demoness will bewitch your heart and mind! A single glance will ensnare you. If that happens, you'll have to walk the Seeking Dao Rope ten times before you can even hope to recover!"

Master Wu shook his head. These youngsters are still too inexperienced; their Taoist Hearts aren't firm enough.

Wang Mu wondered, Is she really that formidable?

He decided to take a look.

The woman in red's gaze also landed on Wang Mu, her expression a subtle, unreadable smile.

However, her expression faltered slightly a moment later, as Wang Mu had already nonchalantly lowered his head.

This fellow!

The woman in red flicked her sleeves and turned around, casually taking out an elixir and handing it to Chen Feng.

She's nothing extraordinary, Wang Mu mused. Compared to Mu Lanxue whom I saw at the Holy Land, this woman is a bit inferior.

He was now somewhat hesitant about whether to go up and present his elixir.

Especially after seeing the illusory phantom manifested by the Pill Furnace just moments ago, a sense of unease filled his heart.

Above, Chen Feng paused, hesitating for a moment.

"Brother Chen!" Shen Jiao, standing beside him, rebuked sharply, her tone laced with displeasure as she shot a hostile glare at the woman in red.

"Ah, yes…" Chen Feng's face flushed slightly as he watched the elixir fly into the Pill Furnace.

"Your Dan King Sect has remained secluded for many years. To emerge now in search of some Treasure Pill... Our Venerable Lord finds this quite interesting, you know," the woman in red said languidly.

"Hmph! Enough nonsense," Shen Jiao retorted, glaring sideways at her. "If I recall correctly, the Dan King Sect never invited your Fengyue Sect. Did you just shamelessly show up uninvited?"

"Little sister, don't be so harsh…" the woman in red smiled faintly. "Your esteemed Ancestor and our Venerable Lord were once close friends, you know. Although they've severed ties and no longer associate, we are, at the very least, fellow Daoists. I too came under orders, incidentally to deliver a message to you from our Venerable Lord."

"What message?" Shen Jiao asked, looking at her warily.

"Our Venerable Lord says that what your esteemed Ancestor is searching for, She has already found." The woman in red smiled, a smile captivating enough to topple cities. "Furthermore, the Venerable Lord repeatedly instructed me to warn you: your Dan King Sect's Ancestor must guard that Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill well. Don't let it be swindled away by anyone."

"Preposterous!" Shen Jiao scoffed. "What kind of personage is our Ancestor? Never mind the Heavenly Heart Protecting God Pill, not even the most ordinary elixir could be swindled from us! You demoness, stop your baseless accusations!"

The woman in red took a graceful, lotus-like step, merely smiling serenely without offering further explanation.

"Um… the elixir's evaluation is out…" Chen Feng stammered, his face tinged with embarrassment as he pointed at the Spirit Pill, which was radiating a pinkish aura. "It shows three strands of flame light, manifesting an image of crimson and pink... Gu Fairy, this elixir of yours…"

"What Gu Fairy!" Shen Jiao snapped. "She's nothing but a demoness!"

"Ah… Gu... Fellow Taoist Gu," Chen Feng corrected himself, his face flushing. "Your elixir…"

"Brother Chen, stop stammering! Hurry up and finish so she has to leave!" Shen Jiao urged, exasperated.

"Her elixir…" Chen Feng looked rather sheepish. "It's a Top-grade Spirit Pill used for Dual Cultivation."

"OOHHHH!"

At that moment, the many cultivators who had been intently watching this scene burst into knowing laughter.

Countless male cultivators instantly perked up, their eyes shining with keen interest as they watched.

At this moment, the quality of the elixir and such seemed to no longer matter.

Don't ask why; just know they were interested.

Meanwhile, many of the female cultivators blushed. Some stole furtive glances, while others indignantly denounced it as an Evil Pill.

"Impossible!" Shen Jiao's face also flushed slightly as she declared sternly. "The various Spiritual Medicines we provided possess no aphrodisiac qualities whatsoever! How could they be refined into such a Spirit Pill for... for... Dual Cultivation?"

"But this truly is a Spirit Pill for Dual Cultivation…" Chen Feng stammered, his face beet red. "And any cultivator can use it, as long as they have a Taoist couple…"
