The higher Mi Xiaojing's alchemy level, the more benefits he would receive from the sect's higher-ups. The sect's higher-ups were well aware of this, which was one of the reasons why Mu Hengyuan welcomed Mi Xiaojing with a smile.

"Greetings, Elder!"

Mu Hengyuan waved his hand and said, "No need for formalities, Xiao Mi. I hope you can wholeheartedly complete this sect mission. Rest assured, the sect will definitely not treat you unfairly. The main focus is on the Nurturing Infant Pill. I hope you can refine several batches."

Then he turned to Chen Shouyi and asked, "Shouyi, is that correct?"

Chen Shouyi smiled and said, "Of course, hehe, Mi Xiaojing, the sect values you greatly. You must cherish it!"

Mi Xiaojing secretly thought to himself, "Cherish my ass!" He had no good feelings towards the Heart Sect at all. Even though these elders were trying their best to win him over and appeared friendly, he knew very well that they had their own needs. If he couldn't refine pills, they would probably find him troublesome even if he just glanced at them.

This world was very realistic and cruel. Mi Xiaojing gradually understood this. Since he came to the Heart Sect, he had been working hard to learn not only cultivation and alchemy, but also to understand this world. When he was in the Western Expansion Sect, it was too closed off, and the world of evolutionary cultivation was relatively peaceful. There were many things that he couldn't learn in the Western Expansion Sect.

Mi Xiaojing nodded and said, "Yes, I will complete the sect mission." His words were sincere and not exaggerated.

Mu Hengyuan was very satisfied and nodded, saying, "These are the materials for refining pills. Just keep them."

Mi Xiaojing put the materials into his storage bracelet and returned the storage bag to Mu Hengyuan. Although the storage bag was not valuable, it was still considered a scarce item in the sect.

Mu Hengyuan took the storage bag and left. Before leaving, he specifically pulled Chen Shouyi aside and gave him a few instructions.

Mi Xiaojing entered the cave and went directly to the largest pill room. This room used to be exclusively used by Chen Shouyi, but now it was assigned to Mi Xiaojing. Even if Chen Shouyi was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to oppose it. This was personally ordered by Elder Yu Hong, and he even set up a prohibition array that even Chen Shouyi couldn't enter.

After looking at the materials in his storage bracelet, Mi Xiaojing realized that the sect had provided him with extremely abundant materials this time. Many of them were surplus. After a little thought, he understood that this was compensation for him. In the entire sect, those who had a special skill had to accept missions without any rewards. The current mission had no rewards.

Mi Xiaojing nodded to himself. The sect's higher-ups knew how to handle things, especially towards those who could provide them with benefits. They were extremely generous. He accepted the surplus materials without any guilt. These were his rewards.

What the sect's elders wanted the most was the Nurturing Infant Pill. This thing could be used for cultivation and healing. It was the most scarce spirit pill for the four elders in the Elemental Infant stage. No matter how many Mi Xiaojing refined, they would always be a bit short.

The main issue was not that Mi Xiaojing couldn't refine them, but the materials needed to refine the Nurturing Infant Pill were extremely difficult to gather. They had finally managed to gather enough materials to refine twelve Nurturing Infant Pills. Naturally, they hoped to obtain twelve pills.

Of course, this was impossible. The elders understood this in their hearts. Their bottom line was that each person would receive one Nurturing Infant Pill. In other words, if Mi Xiaojing could refine four Nurturing Infant Pills, the mission would be considered complete.

Mu Hengyuan was cunning and sly. He didn't mention how many pills Mi Xiaojing had to refine. No matter how many he refined, they would be taken away by them. Mi Xiaojing couldn't keep any for himself.

The alchemy process this time was not long. Mi Xiaojing only refined half of the materials, six batches of pills.

With the growth of his cultivation level, the combination of practical experience and inherited experience, Mi Xiaojing's success rate in alchemy became higher and higher. Especially for the pills he had refined before, when he refined them again, the success rate was quite high. Out of the six batches of pills, he succeeded five times. However, there were still no top-grade pills, but there were three middle-grade pills and six low-grade Nurturing Infant Pills.

A total of nine Nurturing Infant Pills were stored in nine jade bottles. These jade bottles were also provided by the sect. They were engraved with sealing prohibitions, so as long as a specific hand technique was used, the jade bottles could be sealed. The medicinal efficacy would not be lost even if they were placed for hundreds of years, although they couldn't last forever.

There was someone guarding the entrance. Mi Xiaojing handed the jade bottles to him when he came out. This person was left behind by Mu Hengyuan, a Foundation Establishment cultivator. As soon as he received the pills, he would immediately deliver them to Mu Hengyuan.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from bit.ly/3iBfjkV.

When the person saw Mi Xiaojing take out nine jade bottles, he also showed a shocked expression. He knew that these were Elemental Infant stage spirit pills. It was truly unbelievable that a mere Foundation Establishment disciple could refine pills for the Elemental Infant stage.

"My surname is Yang, Yang Shan. You did a good job completing this mission. By the way, you don't have to call me senior, just call me Martial Uncle."

Mi Xiaojing said, "Alright, Martial Uncle. Here are the pills. Can I consider the sect mission completed?"

Yang Shan smiled and said, "You did a good job. Nine spirit pills. I believe the elders will reward you."

Only then did Mi Xiaojing cup his hands and bow. He was anxious to go home. He had been away for a while refining pills, and he was very worried about his family, especially Hong Qing. He was afraid that Hong Qing would go to the Gathering Spring Branch.

Yang Shan nodded and said, "Alright, you can go!" He watched as Mi Xiaojing left and then flew away on his sword, quickly turning into a streak of sword light and disappearing into the sky.Mi Xiaojing habitually flew close to the treetops, heading towards his own courtyard at the foot of the main peak.

Only a few minutes after he took off, as he crossed a forest, a Sword Light suddenly flew out from the trees, aiming directly at Mi Xiaojing.

Almost subconsciously, Mi Xiaojing counterattacked. The Thunder Sword that was circling around him shot out. This was the first time it had been used in battle since it was successfully refined and nurtured in his Dan Tian.

True Word Thunder Sword!

Amidst the thunder, the True Word met the incoming flying sword, creating an intimidating scene.

With a thunderous roar, a figure darted out from the forest.

Hong Qing glared at Mi Xiaojing with gritted teeth. Without saying much, he activated his Magical Techniques and Incantations simultaneously. He wanted to crush Mi Xiaojing with his superior Cultivation Level before he had a chance to deploy the Qingmu Formation.

What Hong Qing didn't know was that Mi Xiaojing didn't have the Qingmu Formation on him. He had left it in the Gathering Spring Villa. All Mi Xiaojing had was a newly refined True Word Thunder Sword and a large number of low-level talismans, which were of little use against Hong Qing.

At this moment, Mi Xiaojing also clearly saw Hong Qing. He never thought that Hong Qing would be so impatient.
