"I have met the Sixth Saint Heir."

Looking at the person before him, Zhong Lin's face was also full of smiles as he got up to welcome them.

"Senior Sister Ying He, you really flatter me."

"I dare not take on the title of Senior Sister. The Sixth Saint Heir, with his Nirvana Realm cultivation, reversed and slaughtered a Sealing King expert, truly achieving what others cannot. How would I dare to call myself Senior Sister before the Sixth Saint Heir?" Ying He said with a smile.

Zhong Lin forced a bitter smile, having no choice but to clasp his hands in surrender.

"Alright, I won't tease you any longer. It's your fault for not coming to find me. You promised to help me with alchemy back then, but you broke your promise, and I've remembered it till now." Ying He said with slight dissatisfaction.

Zhong Lin slapped his forehead; he really had forgotten about it.

At that time, he was still preparing for the Outer Disciple's Grand Competition, followed by a series of events, and Ying He liked to hide away for alchemy, so he hadn't seen her since, hence he truly forgot.

Confused, he asked, "Why didn't Senior Sister come to seek me out?"

"You are the exalted Sixth Saint Heir, how could I dare?"

"Senior Sister, please spare me! If you keep talking like this, I'll really find a hole to hide in." Zhong Lin said with a bitter smile.

Ying He also giggled, "I know you forget things easily, but it's okay. Back then, I mainly wanted to study the path to Ninth Rank Alchemist with you after you broke through to Eighth Rank Alchemist. In hindsight, it was indeed somewhat wishful thinking."

"Ah?"

"I wasn't referring to you, but to the path of the Ninth Rank Alchemist."

Zhong Lin came to realize and, slightly excited, asked, "Did Senior Sister Ying He find something?"

"Yes!"

Ying He's expression turned slightly heavy, "The Ninth Grade is the ultimate limit an alchemist can reach. The elixirs they refine can help an Imperial Realm expert break through to the legendary God Realm. I have tried countless times over the years to make that final leap, yet always failed. Eventually, I discovered that something crucial was missing."

"What is it?"

"The source."

"What is this?"

Ying He shook her head and said, "I do not know, being merely a mere Nirvana Realm Martial Artist. How could I know such a great secret? I only know that Imperial Realm experts need the 'source' to assist in their breakthrough, and we in alchemy are no different. Without it, we are forever stuck at the Eighth Rank."

Zhong Lin frowned, continuously pondering what the so-called divine source that Ying He mentioned could be.

"Enough, no need to think too much. I once asked the Supreme Leader, who said that once I break through to the Imperial Realm, he would tell me. Otherwise, it will only add unnecessary troubles. The same goes for you; once you breakthrough, you can ask the Sect Leader. The 'source' might be a great secret to us, but to an Imperial Realm expert, it might just be something that's not openly discussed. I came today because I heard from Brother Tu that you are going to practice alchemy, and I came especially to observe. You won't refuse me, will you?" Ying He said with a smile.

Zhong Lin was rendered speechless with laughter upon hearing this. Indeed, he hadn't even broken through to the King Realm yet and was already contemplating the legendary God Realm. It indeed was somewhat aiming too high. Even if he knew, what could he do? It would only add unnecessary troubles.

There hasn't been a God Realm expert in Qingyuan World for nearly ten thousand years, surely due to some issues that emerged. These matters can wait until he breaks through to the Imperial Realm to consider further.

"Welcome, of course welcome. I've always wanted to exchange alchemical insights with Senior Sister, but the mundane world has kept me busy, and I've never had the chance. Today presents such an opportunity, how could I refuse?" Zhong Lin said.

"Great, I know you've been looking for spiritual medicine to refine elixirs. I brought you this."

Ying He revealed a jade box in her palm, inside of which lay a spiritual date as black as ink.

"This is... Yin Date."

Zhong Lin's face also revealed a look of surprise.

This is one of the main ingredients for refining the Eight Treasures True King Pill, known as the Yin Date.

Its shape is like a jujube, dark and shiny, growing from the grave of someone born in a yin year, yin month, and yin day, taking three hundred years to bear fruit, then cultivating for forty-nine days using the resentment of souls and grievances with secret techniques.

Its effects are extremely yin and extremely evil, a treasure for neutralizing the violent medicinal power in the True King Treasure Flower.

The Yin Date is of no use in cultivation, and it's even considered poisonous. Mainly, it's extremely hard to find due to the harsh growth conditions. Even if the entire Heavenly Sword Sacred Land's resources are poured into it, it would still take a long time to obtain. Unexpectedly, Ying He had it in her collection.

"This is my tuition fee, are you satisfied?" Ying He said with a smile.

"Satisfied, very satisfied."

Zhong Lin reached out to take the Yin Date, his face full of joy.

"With this Yin Date, the ingredients for refining the Eight Treasures True King Pill are gathered. Thank you, Senior Sister."

"You really are refining the Eight Treasures True King Pill. I suspected as much when Brother Tu was gathering spiritual medicine. This pill is an ancient spiritual pill, extremely troublesome to refine, mainly because it requires the True King Treasure Flower as the main ingredient. I didn't expect that you actually managed to gather all the materials." Ying He said in surprise.

"Speaking of which, it was a matter of chance. A King-level demon beast fell within the Wuhuang Secret Realm forming a blood pool, and the True King Treasure Flower grew there. I had to defeat many opponents to pluck it."

Zhong Lin also waved his hand to take out the True King Treasure Flower from his storage bracelet, revealing a flower the size of a watermelon, resembling jade, emanating a refreshing fragrance, making one feel completely at ease.

Ying He also looked with fiery eyes at this True King Treasure Flower, for a Pill Master, such Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are the hardest to resist.

"It's indeed the True King Treasure Flower; its formation conditions are even harsher than those of the Nirvana Fruit. I've only read about it in the "Cloud Mist Seven Perspectives", never seen it in reality. I thought it was just ancient ramblings, but here it truly is. Using this as the main ingredient allows the refining of the Eight Treasures True King Pill. After consumption, it lets Nirvana Realm Martial Artists fall into an Illusion Realm, experiencing a millennium dream within, comprehending Nirvana, and thus completing the cultivation of the Nirvana Realm."

However, the greatest effect of the True King Treasure Flower is when combined with Starfire Essence, Clear Spring Water, and other materials to refine the Star Fire Jade Pearl Pill. This pill helps Sealing King experts to comprehend the Tao Rhythm. Using it to refine the Eight Treasures True King Pill is indeed somewhat wasteful."

Ying He sighed, her face fully expressing a sense of a squandered treasure.

"What Senior Sister says is true, refining it into the Eight Treasures True King Pill is somewhat wasteful, but what I lack now is time. I must break through to the King Realm as soon as possible, and this is an unavoidable measure."

Ying He said no more, understanding Zhong Lin's current predicament. If he can't break through quickly, once the two-world channel opens, it won't just be the Nine Nether Demon Sect targeting him. The Blood Demon Clan will also not allow such a prodigy to continue living and will undoubtedly try everything to kill him.

"When will you start alchemy? I'll assist you." Ying He asked eagerly.

"Hahaha, the sooner, the better. With Senior Sister's help, the Eight Treasures True King Pill will be complete!" Zhong Lin said with a laugh.
