“Ahem! Ahem”

The sect leader looked at Zhou Yun, who was surrounded by a group of senior and junior sisters with Qiao’er in his arms. He couldn’t help but cough twice to remind the crowd.

After hearing the sect leader’s cough, all the senior and junior sisters came to their senses and quickly dispersed.

After they dispersed, the sect leader found that their faces were slightly red. Apparently, they were ashamed of what they did just now.

However, they did not regret it. If they could attract Zhou Yun’s attention today, it would not matter even if they were embarrassed.

After all, Zhou Yun had a great talent for alchemy. He definitely had a promising future.

Moreover, his appearance also made all the senior and junior sisters fascinated.

It seemed like they would benefit a lot if they managed to get close to Zhou Yun.

In terms of either his talent or his appearance and temperament, Zhou Yun was definitely one of a kind.

If they failed to seize such a good chance, it would slip forever.

As the group of senior and junior sisters thought of this, they kept flicking flirtatious glances at Zhou Yun.

Zhou Yun felt everyone’s attention on him. It was as if he had returned to the time when he was an outer sect disciple.

At that time, there were many junior sisters among the students who found various excuses to get close to him.

At this moment, Qiao’er also came down from Zhou Yun’s back. Her little face was even redder than those of other senior sisters.

After a while, her face regained its calm. She stared unblinkingly at the sect leader and completely ignored Zhou Yun as if she was not the one who hugged Zhou Yun excitedly just now.

After Zhou Yun and the others all gathered on the stage, the sect leader finally spoke.

“I hereby announce that Zhou Yun has been officially promoted to a glory disciple of Spirit Valley. His status shall be equal to that of an elder in the sect!”

The announcement caused uproar in the crowd.

An hour ago, no one present expected Zhou Yun to be able to refine perfect-tier pills and become a glory disciple of the sect.

No one had expected that by using his dramatic alchemy technique, Zhou Yun would actually succeed.

And now, he had used his talent for alchemy to conquer everyone present and become the glory disciple that everyone dreamed to be

Glory disciples were the highest-ranking disciples in the sect. Their status was even higher than that of the inner sect disciples and was equal to that of the elders of the sect.

“Glory disciple! It’ll be great if I can get promoted!”

“That’s impossible. It’s not easy to be a glory disciple!”

“Yeah, unless you can refine a perfect-tier pill like Zhou Yun. Or, you’d better stop dreaming right now!”

A person in the crowd let out an envious sigh and was instantly scorned by the crowd.

As was known to all, one had to make extraordinary contributions to the sect or be an unparalleled genius. Otherwise, it was impossible for him or her to become a glory disciple.

A glory disciple’s status was even higher than that of the inner sect disciples. Everyone, including the inner sect disciples, had to address Zhou Yun as their senior brother when meeting him.

As for the treatment, it was even better. It was definitely something that an inner sect disciple could never get. Besides, Zhou Yun had a great talent for alchemy. He wouldn’t lack any of the pills he needed in daily life. In fact, he might not even be able to use them up even if he wanted to.

Everyone present looked at Zhou Yun, who was in the middle of the crowd, envy and admiration filling their hearts.

At this moment, Zhou Yun quietly walked up to Ling Qingyun.

“Sect leader, can I continue to refine pills?”

Although Zhou Yun’s voice was soft, everybody heard what he said due to their excellent hearing.

“Zhou Yun still wants to refine pills?”

Someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed. Everyone got dumbfounded again.

“You still need to refine pills? Do you have an endless supply of energy?”

“We can’t even handle refining pills once a day, yet Zhou Yun still has the energy to refine pills twice a day?”

The disciples who had some experience in alchemy looked at each other and saw the deep shock in their eyes.

At this moment, Ling Qingyun had also come back to his senses. He was a little surprised by Zhou Yun’s words.

“You’ve already proven yourself. There’s no need to continue!”

Ling Qingyun said with a faint smile. The surprise that Zhou Yun had given him today was already big enough.

“No, since I’m going to show it, I have to go through with the whole pill-refining. Everyone has been delayed for so long because of me. I really feel sorry about it.”

A trace of guilt appeared on Zhou Yun’s face.

Hearing Zhou Yun’s words, everyone was confused. They had no idea what Zhou Yun was trying to do. “He wants to show off?” they wondered. “That’s not necessary at all!”

After all, Zhou Yun had already made an exception to become a glory disciple. There was no need to show off.

Even if Zhou Yun did something even more shocking than this today, there was no way that he would get promoted to sect leader.

No one could understand Zhou Yun’s actions, but Ling Qingyun could read his mind.

He could not help but smile bitterly in his heart.

Zhou Yun was not at all trying to prove himself. He was clearly trying to benefit from refining pills!

After all, Ling Qingyun had said that all the medicinal herbs would be provided by the sect.

Zhou Yun did not want to let go of any opportunity to plunder resources!

Thinking of this, Ling Qingyun couldn’t help but laugh.

“Alright, as I’ve said before, all the herbs you need for pill-refining will be provided by the sect. Since you want to continue, then… just do it!”

At this point, Ling Qingyun felt a little unwilling as well, but he still waved his hand and had the Grand Elder take out a few sets of medicinal herbs for Zhou Yun.

“Since you want to continue refining pills,” Ling Qingyun thought, “then let me see where your limit is!”

The Grand Elder was extremely excited when he heard that Zhou Yun was going to continue refining pills. Because he had underestimated Zhou Yun earlier, he had not seen the details of Zhou Yun’s actions. Therefore, the moment the pill was formed, he was filled with regret and wanted to slap himself in the face.

And now that Zhou Yun was going to continue refining pills, he had to watch carefully.

Sir Pill walked over to Zhou Yun and took out all the herbs he had.

In a short while, the medicine preparation table in front of Zhou Yun was filled with a layer of medicine.

Everyone present, including the sect leader, was dumbfounded and couldn’t speak.

Zhou Yun’s eyes twitched as he looked at the medicinal herbs on the table.

“Oh my god! There are so many medicinal herbs! I won’t be able to finish them till the day I die!”

Seeing that Sir Pill was still taking herbs out, Ling Qingyun hurriedly stopped him.

“Sir Pill, there are enough medicinal herbs. He doesn’t need so many of them.”

The eyes of the surrounding people widened when they saw these medicinal herbs. “Enough medicinal herbs?” they wondered. “There are endless medicinal herbs, literally!”

The medicinal herbs on the medicine preparation table were enough for them to use for a solid year.

Under Sir Pill’s urging, the Earth Fire beneath the pill furnace began to burn again.

The temperature in alchemy room No. 1 rose slowly, and in a short while, everyone was covered in sweat.

Zhou Yun felt the spiritual Qi in his body. Then, he quickly took out a pill and swallowed it.

In a short while, the spiritual Qi in his body became abundant again.

After that, he began to sort out the medicinal herbs. However, the medicinal herbs he sorted out this time were different from before.

This time, he didn’t make any Qi Refining Pills. Instead, he made other pills.

Sir Pill couldn’t help but feel shocked as he watched Zhou Yun select the herbs.

“Is Zhou Yun going to…”
