Within and without the Martial Arts Hall, the place is under strict guard. Zong Ren, smelling that whiff of Dan Fragrance, was uncertain whether the elixir had been successfully refined. He dared not intrude into the Medicine Hall recklessly, so he could only secretly make a small hole above it and peek inside. Upon glancing inside, he unexpectedly heard the melodious sound of a Pipa. Inside the room, three people were seated. A middle-aged man sat in the center, flanked by two young girls. One of them was the young master, and the other held a pipa, playing the Emperor’s Song. The sound of the pipa was as melodious as pearls dropping onto a jade plate, lovably enchanting. As Zong Ren listened, he couldn’t help but be transported in spirit, and even the Bat King, who had been restlessly fluttering due to the Danxia Light, couldn’t help but fold its wings and listen with its master on the rooftop. This man and beast, unknowingly, stayed prostrate on the roof till sunset. At this time inside the Medicine Hall, the various magic elements in Yun Sheng’s hands, colorful and vibrant, were in the process of forming the final elixir. As the magic elements in Yun Sheng’s hands condensed, several pills imbued with the scent of Purple Ginseng appeared in her hand. "Second Uncle, take advantage of the elixir effect and consume it immediately, I will then give you acupuncture and see if we can take the opportunity to channel your fighting spirit," Yun Sheng had been refining elixirs continuously for three days, her spiritual power nearly exhausted. Fortunately, she had thoughtfully asked Huang Que to play the Emperor’s Song during the final phase of alchemy, and indeed, once the pipa music started, Yun Sheng felt her internal magic elements recover. "Zong Ren, stop peeping from above, take your Purple Ginseng Golden Pill immediately, you will be needed for a big task soon," after giving a pill to Yun Canglang, Yun Sheng flicked her finger. Just then, a touch of purple accurately landed in Zong Ren’s hand. Yun Sheng had heard about the phenomena of Danxia Light possibly being induced by Holy-grade Elixirs. But she had not expected that this alchemy session would trigger such an astonishing Danxia phenomena. Even without leaving the Medicine Hall, she knew that the fact Holy-grade Elixirs appeared in Wuxuan Wuji Hall could no longer be concealed. At this moment, outside the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, there must already be a surging crowd. Once Zong Ren smelled the lone pill, he felt its aroma was overwhelming; just smelling it made him feel refreshed in spirit. He was overjoyed, recognizing this as the legendary Purple Ginseng Golden Pill. Zong Ren did not dare to be careless, promptly sitting down cross-legged. The moment the elixir entered his mouth, Zong Ren felt a refreshing taste, and his Magic Soul immediately emitted a dazzling light. Zong Ren was already in his sixties, and as he was not a martial artist, his body was on the verge of exhaustion. Yet once the Purple Ginseng entered his mouth, he felt his originally fragile veins being robustly flushed and repaired by a powerful essence. His previously marred white hair, from the roots to the tips, turned from black to white, and the face, like old tree bark with criss-crossing wrinkles, also miraculously smoothed out. Muscles were reinvigorated with life force, becoming elastic, age spots rapidly faded, and even the slackened bones and sinews revived with new strength. As Zong Ren’s body underwent transformation, the Summoned Beast perched above the Medicine Hall, the Eagle Claw Bat King, also underwent changes. The Eagle Claw Bat King, being Zong Ren’s Lifebound Summoning Beast, its life and evolution had been closely tied to Zong Ren since the moment they signed the contract. The Eagle Claw Bat King had followed Zong Ren for many years, its state intrinsically linked with Zong Ren. As Zong Ren underwent startling changes under the effect of the Purple Ginseng Golden Pill, the Eagle Claw Bat King too benefited immensely. "Roar--" the Eagle Claw Bat King, with its wingspan of over a meter, akin to the glider wings, opened up, and the bones made sounds like popping beans. Its claws also constantly expanded, transforming from their original eagle-claw shape into claws resembling those of a flood dragon. A breakthrough, the Ninth-Order Eagle Claw Bat King evolved into a Commander-level Dragon Claw Bat King. "Hahaha--" Zong Ren roared with laughter, head thrown back to the skies. The old summoner, who was in his sixties, had vanished. In front of Yun Sheng and the others stood a summoner powerhouse, in his early thirties. Zong Ren, unable to contain his excitement, touched his face and looked at his limbs, now radiating with the wandering power characteristic of the youth, and couldn’t help but burst into laughter. "Old pal, you’ve also broken through, a Commander-level demon beast, those old thieves of Penglai, I, Zong Ren, really want to see what you can do to me now," Zong Ren couldn’t help feeling a sense of exultation. He turned around, knelt on both knees and respectfully called out to Yun Sheng, "Young Master." This "Young Master" from Zong Ren was called out wholeheartedly. If it was said before that he was compelled to submit to an eight-year-old female summoner due to the oppressive presence of a "Summon Emperor" level powerhouse, at this moment, he was truly convinced by Yun Sheng. To be able to rejuvenate him, restoring his state to the pinnacle of his prime, to allow his old pal to turn misfortune into a blessing and suddenly become a Commander-level demon beast, These two things, if it were in the past, Zong Ren wouldn’t even dare to dream of them. But Yun Sheng made it happen. "Master, you are not only the rebirth parents of me, Zong Ren, but also of the old pal. In this lifetime, we both acknowledge only you as our master," Zong Ren was a proud person, daring even to face the Summoning Court without fear. "No need for formalities, you helped me teach a lesson to the Crown Princes of Great Zhou and Hou Qin, I helped you refine the Ten Thousand Gold Pill, this was something we had agreed upon earlier. You just need to assist me as before. I still need to treat my uncle’s injuries, and outside the Martial Arts Hall, there are surely a lot of idle people gathered, please block them so they don’t disturb my treatment," Yun Sheng seeing Zong Ren’s appearance, also breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that what was written on Elder Zhang’s note about the Ten Thousand Gold Pill being able to revive the dead wasn’t false. Perhaps Uncle Yun Canglang’s severed arm could truly be cured with the Purple Ginseng. "Master, rest assured, with me, Zong Ren here, let alone a living person, even a mosquito won’t think of disturbing the master," Zong Ren laughed heartily. Having regained his youthful vigor and with his demon beast upgraded, he now cared little for a few cat and dog level opponents or even if there were tens of thousands of troops outside. Having said that, Zong Ren stride forth with large steps. He and the Dragon Claw Bat King quickly headed outside the Martial Arts Hall. Outside the Wuxuan Wuji Hall, the people from Medicine Emperor Pavilion and two Si Ming from Magic Temple were blocked outside by a group of martial artists. "The Vice Hall Director has ordered, all members of the Wuxuan Wuji Hall to be on alert, outsiders from the Outer Hall are strictly forbidden to enter." The martial artists from the Outer Hall looked fierce and menacing. The Medicine Emperor Pavilion and Wuxuan Wuji Hall had long held grudges due to Elder Zhang’s incident, and they couldn’t stand each other. "I am the Imperial Medical Doctor Yao Rong, these two are Si Ming from the Magic Temple, are you daring to block us outside too!" Yao Rong and the doctors from Medicine Emperor Pavilion were filled with indignation, the Wuxuan Wuji Hall was really putting on airs. An Imperial Physician and Si Ming from the Magic Temple? Today the sun really must have risen from the west, these big shots who seldom move around the continent, how come they all suddenly ran to Wuxuan Wuji Hall. Upon hearing this, the martial artists were also frightened by the prominence of the others. Any among these three was comparable to the most prestigious figures in Great Zhou, their gathering at Wuxuan Wuji Hall, what could it be for. The martial artists looked at each other, with some immediately sending someone inside to report to Vice Hall Director Zhan Li. "Haha, whoever dares to enter, must first pass through me, Zong Ren!" Just when the martial artists were in dire straits, suddenly a shadow like thunder and lightning loomed in the sky.
