76: Chapter 76 The Alchemy Conference

The Supreme Sword Bone not only contained power so terrifying it was unimaginable, but it also continuously absorbed the spiritual energy within Ji Taichang's body, purifying and transforming it, eventually turning it into strands of special spiritual energy containing Innate Sword Intent to feed back into Ji Taichang's body!

Those strands of spiritual energy continuously merged into every inch of Ji Taichang's flesh and blood, nourishing and remodeling his body!

This caused his Meridians and Dantian to become increasingly broad, his spiritual energy to become incredibly condensed and vast, the Impurities in his body to be annihilated, and his entire skeleton to shimmer with faint streaks of golden light!

The Supreme Sword Bone was nourishing and feeding back into his body!

Ji Taichang's blood was as bright red and brilliant as diamonds, thick and heavy like liquid blood-mercury; as it flowed through his blood vessels, it actually produced the sound of a tsunami.

The strength of his muscles and skin also received a massive boost!

Ji Taichang's breathing was like a surging hurricane, and his heartbeat was like thunder; his Physical Body had undergone an astonishing transformation!

Previously, Ji Taichang was just an ordinary Golden Core Stage Ninth Level Cultivator.

But after the nourishment and remodeling of the Supreme Sword Bone, although his cultivation had not increased much, it was equivalent to reshaping his Foundation, causing his combat power to skyrocket!!

Ji Taichang even had a strong intuition.

If he were to activate the power of the Supreme Sword Bone...

He might be able to fight across realms and defeat a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse!!

"This Supreme Sword Bone is truly terrifying!!"

"As expected of a product from the System!"

Ji Taichang's heart pounded wildly; he felt a bit parched and was incredibly excited and invigorated!!

"Sister Yang Yao is an alchemy Genius, so her Surprise Gift Pack was the insights and Legacy of the Fire Cloud Pill King."

"Yue'er's Surprise Gift Pack is the Supreme Sword Bone. Could it be that... Yue'er is a Sword Dao genius?"

"But why is it that... I've inspected her body more than once, yet I never discovered any Sword Dao talent?"

Amidst his surprise, a doubt couldn't help but surface in Ji Taichang's mind.

"I wonder what kind of talent Qin Ruolin possesses."

"If I were to max out her favorability..."

Ji Taichang licked his lips, his eyes filled with excitement and anticipation.

Just then.

From the corner of his eye, Ji Taichang glimpsed Liu Cuilan, who was prostrate on the ground, intimidated by the pressure of the Supreme Sword Bone.

With a thought, Ji Taichang withdrew the power of the Supreme Sword Bone and used the Turtle Breath Art to completely hide its aura, returning to his original appearance.

However, a sharp and overbearing temperament now faintly clung to him!

Ji Taichang waved his hand, and the dense crowd of swords floating in mid-air all flew back, returning to their respective owners.

"There is no need to worry. This seat was merely practicing a sword technique and suddenly had an Epiphany, gaining some insights. You may return."

Ji Taichang looked at Liu Cuilan, his voice calm.

"Yes!"

Liu Cuilan felt her whole body relax. Her face was full of fanaticism and respect as she bowed to Ji Taichang and immediately withdrew.

When she informed the others of the Qingyun Sect about this news, it was destined to cause a massive uproar!

With a flash of his figure, Ji Taichang returned to the Discussion Hall.

Because of the spiritual energy barrier he had set up in the Discussion Hall, Lin Xueyue had no idea what had just happened and was still sleeping very soundly.

It wasn't just because she had fought fiercely with Ji Taichang for a long time.

It was also because lately, as the Qingyun Sect Sect Master, she had taken on many affairs and had been constantly busy, her nerves taut and already exhausted.

Now that she could rest peacefully, she slept very deeply.

With a look of heartache in his eyes, Ji Taichang gently held her in his arms to rest.

...

At noon the next day.

When the sun was high in the sky, Lin Xueyue finally woke up slowly. She stretched comfortably and was then poked by something.

Seeing Ji Taichang's beaming expression, Lin Xueyue's delicate body stiffened slightly. Recalling the madness and lingering affection of last night, her face instantly flushed a deep red and felt a bit hot.

However, she didn't try to escape. Instead, she took the initiative to hug Ji Taichang and kissed him fiercely.

"Xiao Chang, from now on, I am yours. You must take responsibility for me!"

She wrapped her arms around Ji Taichang's neck, her beautiful eyes looking at him with deep affection.

"Alright."

Ji Taichang chuckled. Just as he was about to flip over, his eyes suddenly widened as he was pinned down by Lin Xueyue.

...

Another day later.

Ji Taichang had already inspected Lin Xueyue's entire body again, yet he still hadn't found any Sword Dao talent in her.

He asked somewhat confusedly, "Yue'er, do you have some hidden Sword Dao talent that hasn't undergone Awakening?"

Lin Xueyue's body stiffened slightly, then she said as if nothing were wrong, "No, why do you ask?"

"It's nothing, I was just asking randomly."

Ji Taichang gave a casual laugh.

An extremely complex look flashed through Lin Xueyue's eyes. She opened her mouth as if to speak, but in the end, she said nothing.

...

After lingering with Lin Xueyue for a few days.

Ji Taichang didn't forget his proper business and prepared to head to the Medicine King Valley to find that old fellow, Divine Physician Elder Li.

Lin Xueyue tenderly helped Ji Taichang change his clothes and straightened them out.

Seeing that he was about to head out again, Lin Xueyue didn't ask where he was going. Instead, she gave him a light kiss on the cheek and said softly, "Be safe, and come back early."

Ji Taichang smiled. "Don't worry."

Just as Lin Xueyue was about to see Ji Taichang off from the Sect, a gate-keeping Disciple came running over quickly.

"Sect Master! Senior Ji!"

"A letter from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion envoy!"

The gate-keeping Disciple respectfully handed over a gold-embossed letter.

"An envoy from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion?"

Lin Xueyue was a bit curious. After opening the letter and reading its contents, a look of bewilderment appeared on her face.

"Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect? Yao Chen, Elder Yao?"

"But... I don't know them?"

Ji Taichang raised an eyebrow. He took the letter and looked at it, immediately understanding.

As it turned out.

Three days from now would be the Great Wu Dynasty's Alchemy Assembly. At that time, all Alchemists within the borders of the Great Wu Dynasty could participate. Through layers of selection and competition, the aim was to select the most outstanding Alchemists for further training!

As long as one could enter the finals of the Alchemy Assembly, they would receive generous rewards.

If one could achieve a high ranking in the finals, they would even receive a personal award from the Emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty!

The letter from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion was an invitation for 'Yao Chen' to serve as an honorary judge for the Alchemy Assembly!

However, since the Lanzhou Princes Mansion could not find the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect and could not contact 'Yao Chen', they sent the letter to the Qingyun Sect, hoping the Qingyun Sect would relay the message.

Ji Taichang looked at the gate-keeping Disciple and said, "Tell the Lanzhou Princes Mansion envoy that we will relay the message to Elder Yao, but as for whether Elder Yao will participate, we cannot guarantee it."

"Yes!"

The gate-keeping Disciple nodded respectfully.

Lin Xueyue asked curiously, "Xiao Chang, do you know Elder Yao from the Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect?"

"We met by chance."

Ji Taichang nodded and didn't continue on the topic. Instead, he quickly changed the subject: "Sister Yang Yao's alchemy talent is quite good, and she recently broke through to the Golden Core Stage. This Alchemy Assembly is exactly the chance for her to show her skills and also to hone her alchemy techniques. Why don't we let her participate?"
