Peerless Taoist

This was a place for alchemists and pharmacists to refine pills.    

Before entering, he could already smell the rich medicinal fragrance. There were more than a dozen cauldrons that were emitting raging flames, refining the pills.    

"Senior, you are here!"    

The alchemists present greeted Lu Yu when they saw him enter.    

They were originally alchemists invited by the Wonder Hand Clan. Because of their unique identity, they were all superior existences in any force. Thus, these people were arrogant and did not put anyone in their eyes.    

However, after Lu Yu displayed his own alchemy skills, he immediately shocked these arrogant people. Many people even called Lu Yu a senior, wanting to learn alchemy skills from him.    

"How is the pill refining?" Lu Yu asked.    

"We have already followed your instructions and are speeding up the refining process. However, these pills are too complicated, and are completely different from the ones we have encountered before. During the refining process, we have lost quite a few ingredients." The Alchemist had a guilty expression on his face.    

They could be considered famous big shots in various places. No matter who it was, when they walked out, they would be praised as masters by many people.    

However, in front of Lu Yu, their alchemy skills were like apprentices, not worth mentioning at all.    

In front of Lu Yu, these alchemists bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes. They trembled in fear, afraid that they would receive Lu Yu's criticism.    

"Do you have any finished products?" Lu Yu asked.    

An alchemist immediately handed over the finished products.    

Lu Yu took the medicinal pill over and carefully examined it for a moment. He then said indifferently, "The time is up. Reforge it."    

"Yes, yes." The alchemist nodded his head repeatedly, not daring to disobey at all.    

Immediately after, Lu Yu pointed out some alchemist's alchemy techniques. With his alchemy skills, it was easy for him to guide these alchemists.    

Those alchemists were like they had obtained a treasure. They nodded their heads repeatedly. Lu Yu's background was too deep, and it opened their eyes.    

This was no wonder. Lu Yu's alchemy experience came from the true teachings of the Taoist ancestors. This kind of treatment was something that even the previous Taoist Sect's Dao Child had never received.    

After many alchemists received guidance, their alchemy skills improved greatly, and they were once again thrown back into alchemy.    

"I hope that these people won't disappoint me." Lu Yu muttered as he looked at the busy alchemists.    

The reason why he had asked these people to help him refine pills was because he wanted to rely on their methods to get in touch with his emotions.    

The last technique of the Six Desires Demonic God was extremely vicious, and it was extremely guarded against Lu Yu himself. Once Lu Yu refined pills himself or used the Eight Trigram Furnace to refine pills, the antidote would still be contaminated with the power of the emotions, which would ultimately lead to a futile effort.    

As for these alchemists of the Wonder Hand Parlor, they had no relationship with Lu Yu before this. They would not be affected by the power of love when they refined the pills.    

The most important thing right now was to get rid of the emotions as soon as possible and increase his strength.    

Lu Yu knew that if he wanted to meet the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerate, he had to increase his strength as soon as possible in the Spiritual Treasure Sect.    

The act of pretending to be weak was not going to work. Lu Yu had to show his strength as quickly as possible and obtain a high position in the Spiritual Treasure Sect.    

A mere Life and Death Realm cultivator could be considered a peerless expert in the Bedlam Lands, but in the Three Pure Ones Holy Land, he was nothing.    

Boom!    

Suddenly, the entire transport ship trembled violently, as if it had bumped into some kind of heavy object. The ship's body trembled violently, and then it stopped.    

Fortunately, the entire transport ship was protected by countless formations. Those pill furnaces were not affected, but many alchemists were frightened, and their actions of refining pills immediately made mistakes. Black smoke immediately came out of the pill furnace in front of them, and it was obvious that they had failed to refine pills.    

"Hmm?" Lu Yu frowned. Under the perception of his Spiritual Sense, a person rushed in with large strides.    

Clang!    

The door was pushed open, and a skinny man in a black robe with a gloomy expression walked in with large strides.    

The black-robed man's aura was very strong. He only glanced at everyone present, then looked at the pill furnaces around him and said coldly, "All alchemists, follow me!"    

His actions were extremely rude and violent. He was simply arrogant to the extreme.    

The alchemists present were all people who lived in luxury. How could they allow him to provoke them like this? Someone immediately shouted, "Who do you think you are? Why should we follow you?"    

"Hmm?"    

The black-robed man's face turned cold. With a flash of his body, he opened his palm and grabbed at the alchemist. A gust of wind crazily surged between his fingers, forming a space around the alchemist that completely sealed him within.    

Lu Yu could tell at a glance that the black-robed man was trying to capture the alchemist.    

"Get out of here!"    

Lu Yu waved his hand, and a gust of wind suddenly rose from his sleeve and pounced towards the black-robed man. In an instant, it landed on his body.    

The gust of wind was like Mount Tai pressing down on him. The tyrannical force was released in an instant, not giving the black-robed man any chance to react. It ruthlessly pressed down on him.    

With a bang, the black-robed man's expression changed. He felt a violent force suddenly land on his body. This force was not something he could resist at all. He was immediately sent flying.    

"Ah!" The black-robed man spat out a mouthful of blood, and waves of intense pain came from all over his body as he fiercely fell to the ground.    

This black-robed man had walked over with a strong will just now, but he did not expect that he would be struck by a thunderbolt when facing a tough guy like Lu Yu.    

"Brother Lu, don't make a move. Wait a moment!" Zhu Hao's anxious voice suddenly came from outside.    

Zhu Hao ran in hurriedly, and his forehead was already covered in beads of sweat.    

"Who is this person?" Lu Yu frowned.    

An anxious expression flashed across Zhu Hao's face. "Do you know about the Ling Family of the Snow-Stepping Tower that I told you about before? This person is a member of the Ling Family!"    

Before going to the Three Clarities Holy Land, Zhu Hao had already roughly introduced to Lu Yu a few famous forces in the Three Clarities Holy Land. Among these forces, the Snow-Stepping Tower was one of them.    

The Snow-Stepping Tower was the same as the Miracle Hand Parlor. They were both major forces in the Three Pure Ones Holy Land. However, the Snow-Stepping Tower did not focus on medicinal pills. Instead, they relied on intelligence.    

When Lu Yu had been an official in Great Yu Dynasty, he had established the Skynet to collect intelligence. Naturally, he knew the importance of intelligence.    

As for the Snow-Stepping Tower, its intelligence network was spread all over the place. The leader of the Snow-Stepping Tower, "Dao Venerate Heavenly Eye," Ling Shixiong, could be said to be a dominator of a generation. He was known to be omniscient. Even people from the three great holy sects would go and ask the people of the Snow-Stepping Tower for guidance.    

And this black-robed man in front of him was actually a member of the Ling Family of the Snow-Stepping Tower.
