Xie Yujia indeed cared about the matter of refining pills, but she didn’t feel right asking Zhao Hongyu directly.

At this moment, Zhao Guang suddenly brought it up and solved one of Xie Yujia’s concerns, so she nodded and said, "Alright!"

"Aren, you can come along too," Zhao Guang looked at Hao Ren, seemingly noticing his reluctance.

Hao Ren didn’t say anything else and immediately stood up.

"Dad! I want to go too!" Zhao Yanzi also jumped up.

"You—" Zhao Guang hesitated for two seconds before saying, "Alright, you can all come along."

There was still an hour until the dormitory’s closing time, so if they went to refine pills now, there would be no way back to the dormitory. However, Xie Yujia didn’t care about this at all right now. These days, she had repeatedly practiced refining methods taught by the old woman and her heart was always preoccupied with refining pills; only when successfully refined could she feel relieved.

Zhao Guang did not want to make a big fuss while bringing these three youngsters along, so he drove them to the seaside first before returning to the Dragon Palace through regular channels.

Upon receiving the message, Vice Premier Xia rushed to the entrance to greet Zhao Guang and his group. Among this group of four people, in terms of personal relations, Hao Ren was actually the closest one to him.

"Vice Premier Xia, thank you for your trouble," seeing that it was again Vice Premier Xia leading them, Zhao Guang said.

"It’s my duty, it’s my duty," Vice Premier Xia sincerely replied. Having served as Dragon Palace’s vice premier for hundreds of years, the one who showed the most care and consideration towards him was this Dragon Princess’s husband.

Inside the Dragon Palace, there were still guards every three steps and sentries every five steps. Although the West Sea Dragon Palace had temporarily withdrawn, Zhao Guang could not let his guard down; with "pillar" Zhao Kuo unable to rely on now, among the four seas, East Sea was undoubtedly the most prosperous but also the weakest in strength.

Since they were at the Dragon Palace, of course, they would first visit Su Han. This time around, Xie Yujia no longer had her eyes covered; accompanied by Zhao Guang, she took in every scenic spot along the way to the Dragon Palace. Her expression alternated between surprise and admiration—this was almost identical to Hao Ren’s experience when he visited the Dragon Palace for the first time.

After crossing a small square, they arrived at the palace where Su Han was recuperating. They walked through a corridor and found her in a small garden before a bedroom, dancing with a sword while wearing white clothes.

The sword intent was ethereal; on Su Han’s ashen face, there was still a trace of weakness from her not-yet-healed injuries. The flowers around her were hit by the sword aura she had generated, causing some petals that were about to fall off to flutter in the air, creating quite a beautiful scene.

She put away her white jade longsword and turned to see them five people including Chancellor Xia. Su Han’s fair face blushed slightly before she gave a slight bow as a greeting.

Although they were at the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, she was in her position of Examiner; there was no need for excessive politeness towards even the palace itself.

Zhao Guang also nodded slightly to express his concern.

"Senior Sister Su!" Zhao Yanzi ran over, "Your sword skills are so beautiful!"

Su Han touched Zhao Yanzi gently and looked at Hao Ren and Xie Yujia with a questioning look. "Why are you both here"

As she spoke halfway through her sentence, she suddenly lowered her head in surprise to see the side of Zhao Yanzi. "What’s this There is spiritual energy fluctuation from you. You can cultivate now"

"Nope, just playing around," Zhao Yanzi did not want to admit that she was Xie Yujia's disciple and spoke evasively.

"We are here today to refine pills" Hao Ren said as he added, "Age-Stabilizing Pill."

“Age-Stabilizing Pill” Su Han’s eyes lit up at once.

"Yes, Grandmother taught me the method of pill refinement; I’ve come over here today to borrow some space and materials for refining pills," Xie Yujia said softly.

“You refine pills" Su Han, who was usually calm, was also somewhat surprised at this answer.

She could see that Xie Yujia was only in the third layer of Qi Condensation realm, and she had never heard before that cultivators in the Qi Condensation realm were able to personally refine pills! They usually just controlled the furnace!

"Yes." Xie Yujia smiled and replied.

"If Miss Su is interested, you can come along," Zhao Guang said.

"Alright!" Su Hai immediately agreed.

She picked up a white long robe hanging beside her and quickly put it on. The robe dragged slightly on the ground for half its length, making it very elegant; however, with Su Han's sharp and decisive strides, she looked even more spirited and commanding.

The Star Moon Elder, who was studying scriptures in an inner room, rushed out to meet Zhao Guang upon his visit. Hearing about the alchemy activity, she followed them as well. With her extensive knowledge, she too doubted whether a mere practitioner could be so confident in their ability to refine pills.

The group arrived in grand procession at the underground alchemy chamber of the Divine Treasure Hall.

The Divine Treasure Hall was one of the significant places within Dragon Palace and its underground alchemy chambers were considered sensitive zones, usually off-limits even for ordinary elders. But since Zhao Guang personally arranged this space for Xie Yujia today, there were no such restrictions.

Even with Eastern Sea Dragon Palace's formidable strength, they only maintained three alchemy chambers. They utilized the ten-thousand-year-old earth fire from beneath the sea to assist in refining pills, and the middle chamber had the purest and most vigorous flame of them all.

"Ordinarily, this alchemy chamber is used by Junior Disciple Zhen, but he's been shut up in his room working on a magical treasure for several days now. So it should be fine to let you use it temporarily," Zhao Guang said as he led Xie Yujia into the middle chamber.

The rest followed inside; among them, Zhao Yanzi was most curious since she had never known there existed such an alchemy room in Dragon Palace before. She stretched her neck out, looking around curiously.

Bang!

As they entered the alchemy chamber, a wave of heat hit them immediately!

Ten-thousand-year-old earth fire!

Su Han quickly threw a protective shield to Zhao Yanzi so she wouldn't get scalded.

Zhao Guang, who was standing beside Xie Yujia, was about to create a light wall to protect her. However, two talismans, one gold and the other silver, automatically emerged from within Xie Yujia’s body, circling around her and repelling the scorching heat by half a foot!

These talismans emitted waves of radiance that seemed to pulsate with life, appearing incredibly mystical. The flickering silver and gold lights on them signified their inviolability.

"Reporting to Dragon King, the materials have been prepared according to Special Envoy Su's instructions." Chancellor Xia opened a box and showed it to Zhao Guang and Xie Yujia.

"Good." Zhao Guang nodded slightly before stepping back.

Su Han’s body was still somewhat weak. There happened to be an intricately cast iron armchair in the alchemy room, so she sat down temporarily. She looked stunning even sitting there in her white robe.

Zhao Yanzi stood beside her and held onto the chair's handle to avoid being blown away by sudden surges of heat.

Hao Ren also took a few steps back, quietly observing how Xie Yujia would brew the medicinal pill.

"Hao Ren, it’s time to let Little White out," Xie Yujia suddenly said to Hao Ren.

"Oh, right. I almost forgot." Hao Ren hastily took out Little White from his necklace. He now released him three times a day—morning, noon, and night—to take the air, while keeping him locked up at all other times to prevent mischief.

Little White dropped onto the ground and immediately sensed the scorching heat. With a bang, he transformed into his snow lion form to counteract it.

"The formula for Eternal Beauty Pill requires three Beautiful Soul Flowers as the main ingredients; the rest are auxiliary ingredients: two Seven-star Grass, one Double-heart Wood, a piece of Stone Bamboo, and a stalk of Thousand-year Purple Ginseng."

Even though all materials were prepared, Su Han still felt uneasy. She gave Xie Yujia some instructions before she started brewing.

"Okay, I understand." Xie Yujia nodded cautiously.

She pointed her right hand forward, and the golden talisman hovering in front of her flew out!

Bang! The heavy lid of the mystic steel cauldron was suddenly lifted up!hey wouldn't be able to defeat one Hao Ren. Therefore, in her ears, Xie Wanjun speaking like this would crack his own teeth."Haha, no more talk!" Xie Wanjun thought that Xie Yujia didn’t allow him to...
