Super Divine Daoist Skill

He did not wish to publicly disclose the status of the people in the Desolate Ancient Realm.

The explanation he provided was merely to offer a reasonable explanation for his appearance here.

"A Loose Cultivator? An Alchemist?"

Qiu Yuepiao's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly and cautiously said, "This place is still quite a distance from the Gushe Mountain Range.

If the elder is not in a hurry to return, perhaps staying here for a while might not be a bad idea.

Just so happens that the Qingxu Sect will organize the Qingxu Summit, which occurs once every ten years, for cultivators within a radius of several thousand miles it is considered a grand event. Perhaps the elder could also participate.

If the elder lacks a place to stay, my Qiu Family is quite renowned around here. Why not join us and head to Xinghe Town?"

"Indeed, elder, being unfamiliar here can be quite inconvenient. Why not come with us? We can act as guides and save you some trouble."

Qiu Dingyue also hurriedly spoke up with caution.

"In that case, I'll trouble you both."

Bai Ziyue pondered slightly and then nodded in agreement.

The reason he revealed himself was also because he planned to find a temporary foothold.

*After all, he knew nothing about this place. To recklessly venture might invite unnecessary trouble. Now that they suggested it, he naturally went with the flow and agreed.*

Thus, shortly after, the three of them turned around and completely left the Hundred Thousand Mountains, heading straight for a riverside town.

Xinghe Town, despite being named a 'town,' actually covered a vast area, with more than hundreds of thousands of people, surpassing even the population of a county.

Moreover, most of Xinghe Town's residents bore the name Qiu, and the few outsiders also had intricate ties with the Qiu Family.

It could be said that this place was essentially the private property of the Qiu Family. It would be more apt to call it Qiu Town rather than Xinghe Town.

Additionally, it is worth mentioning that, unlike the various territories in the Desolate Ancient Realm belonging to different nations,

most of the ordinary people in the Heavenly Domain actually belonged primarily to Immortal Technique Sects.

Like Xinghe Town, which was under the governance of the Immortal Cultivation Clan Qiu Family. Hence, law enforcement and safety were managed by the Qiu Family, while nearby Ancient Bronze Town and Wangyue Town were similarly managed by local Immortal Cultivation Clans, the Wang Family and Zhang Family.

Yet, the Qiu Family, Wang Family, Zhang Family, and other surrounding Immortal Cultivation Clans and forces were all subordinate to the Qingxu Sect, which was the primary sect. Therefore, the ordinary people in each area considered themselves subordinates of the Qingxu Sect.

If they faced troubles they could not resolve, or powerful Demon Beasts wreaked havoc, they could report to the Qingxu Sect, and disciples from the Qingxu Sect would naturally come to handle it.

Conversely, the Immortal Cultivation Clans within this power range were required to regularly submit certain taxes and resources and cooperate with Qingxu Sect disciples to verify mortal qualifications, study Immortal Technique knowledge, and potentially become official disciples of the Qingxu Sect.

...

Immortal Cultivators generally sought to absorb the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, so most members of the Qiu Family's Immortal Cultivation method were separated from ordinary people and resided on a mountain peak not far from Xinghe Town.

This mountain peak housed a Second-grade High-tier Spirit Meridian, further enveloped in an array, cloaked in clouds and mist, making it indistinct.

Bai Ziyue, being newly arrived, naturally refrained from probing directly with Divine Thought. He accompanied the siblings to the foot of the mountain gate.

"Please, elder!"

Qiu Yuepiao respectfully guided Bai Ziyue, stepping into the Grand Array, then swiftly told two family disciples in gray robes guarding the entrance, "Quickly inform the patriarch, we have a distinguished guest."

"This esteemed elder is adept in alchemy."

Qiu Dingyue also quickly spoke up.

"Yes!"

The two hesitated initially, but upon hearing this, were startled and hastily agreed, turning to rush toward the towering peak.

Momentarily, a figure in a cyan robe rapidly flew from the mountain, practicing Sword Flight, slicing through the sky, appearing in front of Bai Ziyue and others in the blink of an eye.

This person was indeed an Enlightenment Realm Cultivator in the late stage.

"Greetings to the clan leader."

Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue promptly bowed slightly in salute.

The newcomer did not acknowledge them but turned his gaze to Bai Ziyue. His initially calm and composed expression quickly changed, with uncertainty and hesitation. After a while, he slightly bowed, saying, "Junior Qiu Dashang greets the elder. I didn't know of your esteemed arrival and failed to welcome you from afar. It's truly my fault."

*"Elder?"*

Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue were suddenly shocked, looking incredulously at Bai Ziyue beside them.

Their clan leader was an Enlightenment Realm Cultivator in the late stage, with formidable power among the top in the surrounding hundred miles. He had also established an alliance known as the Super Divine Alliance, with the title 'Grand Shang Alliance Leader,' holding some fame in Blood Peak City.

*Yet, for him to address someone as an elder couldn't possibly be just any Enlightenment Realm Cultivator.*

*Above the Enlightenment Realm was the Divine Realm.*

*Could he be a Divine Realm powerhouse?*

*Considering this, they were stunned.*

*Previously, when they addressed him as elder, they assumed he was like their clan leader, merely an Enlightenment Realm Cultivator. Not knowing his actual prowess far exceeded their imagination.*

Thinking of what the other party had said earlier, about getting lost in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and wandering for more than a month before finding their way out, it suddenly dawned on him.

*Without the extraordinary means above the Divine Realm, how could the other party have survived for more than a month in the perilous, Demon Beast-infested Hundred Thousand Mountains?*

"Patriarch Qiu, you're too kind."

Bai Ziyue waved his hand slightly, speaking with a relaxed expression.

"Please come in."

Qiu Dashang did not dare to be negligent and remained respectful, quickly guiding Bai Ziyue straight to the reception hall.

Meanwhile, Qiu Dingyue and Qiu Yuepiao, the brother and sister, were following obediently behind, no longer as composed as before.

"I wonder how I should address you, Elder, and where your Immortal Mountain is located?"

After inviting Bai Ziyue to sit, Patriarch Qiu Dashang respectfully inquired.

"I call myself Kunlun; you can refer to me as Kunlun Daoist. As for an Immortal Mountain, I am just a Loose Cultivator, so there is no such thing as an Immortal Mountain.

I merely wander the world, seeking fortune."

Bai Ziyue waved his hand, speaking.

"Elder Kunlun, not only is your strength astonishing, but you are also a skilled Alchemist.

This time, it was coincidental that the Elder had just come out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, saw us hunting the Cyan Fox Demon, and, encountering danger, came to our aid…"

Seeing that Bai Ziyue was always amiable, Qiu Dingyue's nervousness eased, and he quickly spoke, recounting the events in detail.

Bai Ziyue smiled faintly, naturally enjoying having someone else explain for him.

Qiu Dashang nodded slightly, his eyes flickering; he was somewhat suspicious about Bai Ziyue's sudden appearance and coincidental rescue of the siblings.

It all seemed a bit too coincidental.

However, considering the other party's identity and strength, it shouldn't be that he harbored any ill intentions toward his small Qiu Family. Only then did he feel slightly relieved and quickly continued to compliment, saying, "I didn't expect Elder to also be an Alchemist. I wonder, at what level is Elder's Alchemy Technique?

Oh, and I haven't yet thanked Elder for saving my two reckless nephews."

As he spoke, Qiu Dashang bowed again, full of courtesy.

"It was merely a trivial effort, Patriarch Qiu. There's no need for you to be so polite.

Instead, I came here abruptly. If there's any discourtesy, please don't take offense, Patriarch Qiu."

In response to the grand gesture, Bai Ziyue sidestepped, avoiding it.

Having accepted a courtesy from Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue earlier, he felt it was only fair since he had indeed saved their lives. However, he had no particular favor toward Qiu Dashang, as the two siblings weren't his blood relatives, so naturally, he couldn't accept such a grand courtesy from him.

He then spoke, "As for Alchemy, I do indeed have some insights.

If the materials are complete, I can also refine the Enlightenment Pill."

In this regard, he was quite confident.

Because even before he broke through to the Enlightenment Realm, he possessed the strength of a Second-grade High-tier Alchemist and had experience successfully refining the Enlightenment Pill.

Although some time had passed, his Alchemy skill had not diminished; instead, it had become even more refined due to the passage of time.

Especially in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, where he diligently studied Alchemy skills, combined with his existing foundation, he had already achieved Entry Level in Master Six Extremes' Alchemy Technique that could directly lead to the level of a Third-Grade High-tier Alchemist—the Nine Yang Refining Technique.

Although he was currently still a Second-grade High-tier Alchemist, he was confident that once his Attribute Panel was fully upgraded, he could elevate his Alchemy skill to the level of a Third-Grade High-tier in a short time.

Thus, he had boundless confidence in refining the Enlightenment Pill.

"Enlightenment Pill? You can refine the Enlightenment Pill?"

Qiu Dashang suddenly stood up, looking at Bai Ziyue in disbelief, exclaiming.

The Enlightenment Pill was a crucial resource for an Immortal Cultivation Clan to develop and thrive steadily.

Without the Enlightenment Pill, the Qiu Family members would either need to spend vast resources to trade with the Qingxu Sect if they wanted to break through to the Enlightenment Realm, or they would have to let exceptionally talented family members join the Qingxu Sect and become its disciples.

While having family members join the Qingxu Sect could lend support in some areas, it was a self-destructive path, disregarding the family's development.

*If they had their own Enlightenment Pills…*

Qiu Yuepiao and Qiu Dingyue were both shocked, deeply moved.

They naturally understood the value of the Enlightenment Pill.

Especially when one was at the Eighth Layer of Qi Cultivation and the other at the Ninth Layer, both ready to break through to the Enlightenment Realm.

Their breathing became rapid in an instant, as they looked at Bai Ziyue with intense eagerness, their hearts exclaiming, *Who exactly was this Elder before them? Handsome and youthful in appearance, yet immensely powerful, and proficient in Alchemy?*

To refine the Enlightenment Pill, one needed to be at least a Second-grade High-tier Alchemist, if not a Third-Grade…

*Could it be that he was a Third-Grade Alchemist?*
