If not for his strength being far stronger than his peers, the explosion earlier would have left him with some minor injuries.

"Eh? "You actually didn't get injured. Hmm, looks like you're quite strong. This time around, a pretty good candidate has come." At this time, Elder Ge looked at Yang Xie, and saw that he was unharmed, his eyes lit up, and praising.

Only, after hearing those words, Yang Xie's face darkened.

After that, the Elder Ge waved his big sleeve and kept the pieces of the sword on the ground, he then took out an pill furnace that looked exactly the same as before and placed it onto the Earth Vein Fire. Then, with a flick of his hand, all sorts of Spirit Grass flew into the fire, he skillfully flew like a flowing cloud, causing people's eyes to be filled with joy, and it was clear that he was an extraordinary alchemist master.

Seeing this scene, Yang Xie could not help but admit that although the other party was a little weird, their pill refining level was extremely high.

"I wonder who is stronger between this Elder Ge and that 'All Things Sect' Elder Gou." Unknowingly, a strange idea suddenly popped up in Yang Xie's mind.

Just then, the Elder Ge stopped throwing the herbal medicine, and one by one, spirit arts were formed and landed on the pill furnace, countless of profound runes lit up on the surface of the pill furnace, following that, the runes lit up and disappeared, the entire pill furnace returned to normal.

"Sigh, this cauldron is truly difficult to refine. It has already wasted twenty or so pill furnace. Looks like I should ask Old Demon Wei to prepare a few more." Elder Ge sighed.

Yang Xie laughed bitterly at his words. There were more than 20 pill furnace s, no wonder the mission reward was so high, but no one dared to accept it.

"Alright, Kid, it looks like you're not bad. If you can endure for a month and help This Old Man refine this pill, besides the mission rewards, This Old Man will also give you other rewards." Just then, the Elder Ge turned his head and said to Yang Xie.

"Other rewards?" Yang Xie was ecstatic. Since the other party was a grandmaster alchemist, then it must be related to Pills since he mentioned about the rewards. Thinking about how the other party was a master alchemist, he knew that they must be extraordinary.

"Looks like this mission isn't bad." Yang Xie thought, the only thing that made people bored with this mission was the exploding pellet, although the exploding pellet was annoying, it was unable to harm him, which was just a little troublesome for him, but he was able to obtain high quality Swordwork Value, and even had other rewards, which could be said to completely compensate for the mission's deficiencies.

"Alright, continue watching. I still need to go back to refine another batch of Pills." After giving his orders, the Elder Ge turned around and left the secret chamber.

After the Elder Ge left, Yang Xie stared at the furnace in the middle and laughed helplessly, then sat on the ground and guarded the furnace.

When dusk approached, the pill furnace exploded once again, leaving Yang Xie speechless. He did not know what kind of Pills the other party refined, to actually do so once or twice.

In the evening, Yang Xie flew out of the Precious Medicine Peak, went straight back to his own cave, and started to cultivate as usual.

Time slowly passed, and in the blink of an eye, Yang Xie had already arrived at the 'My Sword Sect' for nearly seven to eight days.

In this period of time, other than going to the Precious Medicine Peak to watch over the pill furnace, Yang Xie had returned to his cave to cultivate.

And in this short span of seven or eight days, ten batches of Pills had already exploded. Almost once a day, that Elder Ge was enraged like a thunderclap, but there was nothing he could do.

But of course, in this peaceful life, there were also some things that weren't peaceful.

Following his frequent trips back and forth between the Precious Medicine Peak and the cave, he had already attracted the attention of many inner sect disciples. Some disciples were startled to discover that Nie Yong's cave, which had not been taken care of for a long time, had actually become neat and tidy.

"Strange, why is Nie Yong's cave abode acting in such a manner? Could it be that the sect assigned this cave to the other disciples? "

"Impossible, that Nie Yong is only being exiled, not expelled. As long as that Nie Yong is still alive, according to the sect's rules, this cave should always belong to Nie Yong." A disciple shook her head.

"Since it is impossible to assign it to other disciples, then why is this place so neat and tidy? Could it be that Nie Yong is back? "

"Looking at the time, the ten years should be up, that means Nie Yong is really back."

"A few days ago I heard from someone that there was a disciple from Heavenly Completion Late Stage that came in and out of this place. It looked extremely familiar, and it should be that Nie Yong." The other person thought for a moment, then suddenly said.

"Heavenly Completion Late Stage? Nie Yong's cultivation actually dropped to the Heavenly Completion Late Stage, how is this possible? "

The surrounding people were all shocked, thinking, before, Nie Yong was a cultivator with Qi of Inducement, in a short span of less than ten years, he actually dropped to the Heavenly Completion Late Stage, it is truly unbelievable.

"However, thinking about it, I can understand. After all, that place is isolated from the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, and it can absorb the spirit energy in the body. If I stay there for a long time, it would be strange if my cultivation does not drop." At this time, a disciple brought up that place with a look of lingering fear.

The expressions of the surrounding people also changed when they heard this. Clearly, they were also extremely afraid of that place.

"Hehe, if Nie Yong really only has his Heavenly Completion Late Stage left, then that would be interesting." Suddenly, one of the inner disciples laughed strangely as if she had thought of something. Her face was full of schadenfreude.

Hearing this, the others also seemed to understand something, and they all revealed looks of understanding.

At the same time, in a cave abode, in the dim candlelight, two men with similar expressions sat cross-legged on the ground.

One of them had his eyes closed, his face calm, as if he was training, and also seemed to be pondering something. The aura around his body surged;

In comparison to this person, the man sitting opposite of this person had an anxious expression and constantly looked at the person opposite him. He seemed to want to open his mouth, but then stopped, as if his aura was only at the level of The sky is perfect.

After waiting for a while, the man with a low cultivation level could not hold it in any longer. He opened his mouth and was about to speak.

At this moment, the man in front of him slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the man in front of him, he coldly snorted and reprimanded him, "Just a small matter and you're already flustered. That matter isn't over yet."

"Not done yet? Big brother, do you mean to say that I still have a chance to obtain that cave? But did you hear that Nie Yong has already returned? " Hearing that, the man with a low cultivation level was overjoyed, but after thinking of Nie Yong, he became hesitant.

"Just a mere Nie Yong, what is there to be afraid of? Even if he were to maintain his current strength at his peak, I am not afraid. Furthermore, he only has the cultivation of his Heavenly Completion Late Stage, in front of me, he is nothing more than an ant. Back then, I was able to almost kill him, but now, I can as well. " The Spirit Realm man snorted coldly, and said disdainfully.

It was the person who informed and exiled Nie Yong back then to the spiritual land, Xue Gui!

"But, big brother, the cave belongs to Nie Yong after all, and now that he's back, can he still forcefully take it away?" The zodiac man asked hesitantly.

"Nie Yong's cave had been empty for many years. I had originally planned to use the cave's rich spirit energy to help you break through the Spirit Realm, but who would have thought that the other party would actually return at this time. But it was good that he came back. If it was before, he wouldn't have been righteous enough to get his hands on this person's cave. Instead, he would have gotten more trouble out of thin air. This time, you can snatch the cave dwelling from Nie Yong's hands in broad daylight. Xue Gui's eyes flashed, and laughed coldly.

"Open and honorable? Brother, what do you mean by that? " Xue Fu did not understand.

"Do you remember the sect's rule that as long as the outer court disciples consider themselves to have sufficient strength, they can challenge the inner court disciples and as long as they win in battle, they can be promoted to the inner court disciples and also obtain the cultivation abode of the outer court disciples?" Although no one has succeeded before, don't forget that you are currently at the The sky is perfect level, while Nie Yong is at the Heavenly Completion Late Stage level, there is a total of three levels between him and you, it is simply impossible for him to be your match. "As long as you defeat him, not only will you be able to become an inner disciple, you will also be able to obtain this person's cave abode. It can be said that killing two birds with one stone!" Xue Gui laughed coldly, a proud look flashing past his face.

"Yeah, why didn't I think of that?" Hearing that, Xue Fu's face revealed a look of ecstasy, his cultivation had already reached the bottleneck of his The sky is perfect, he was only one step away from breaking through and becoming an inner sect disciple. As long as he could obtain Nie Yong's cave he would be able to borrow the dense Spirit Qi inside it, his success rate in breaking through will definitely increase greatly, and that was also why he was brooding over her cave.

"Big brother, when should we leave?" Xue Fu said somewhat impatiently.

"The sooner the better, now that the news of Nie Yong's return has spread, I think in less than half a day, the news will spread across the entire 'My Sword Sect'! At that time, there would probably be quite a number of outer disciples eyeing the cave. After all, this is a rare opportunity and must not be missed by the top disciples of the outer sect. At that time, whether you can obtain that cave or not will be filled with variables. "How about this, tomorrow, you will head out and obtain the cave dwelling as soon as possible." Xue Gui thought for a while, then said with a gloomy expression.

"Yes, that's good. I'll go tomorrow then." After Xue Fu heard this, the joy on his face disappeared, and without hesitation he asked.

"Mn, but you must remember, even though Nie Yong only has Heavenly Completion Late Stage cultivation left, he was once a cultivator of the Qi of Inducement after all. His strength cannot be underestimated, you must not underestimate him." Xue Gui warned.

Hearing that, Xue Fu nodded his head, got up and left the cave.

After the other party left, Xue Gui looked in the direction of Nie Yong's cave, a sinister look flashing past his eyes, and said to himself: "Nie Yong, that year, you were destroyed by me, and today, I will destroy you in the hands of my younger brother, so that you will never be able to reincarnate."
