"I refuse." Qu Qiyue decided without thinking twice. "If that person wanted to learn alchemy from me, then he/she should come here and take my test."
"Haha." Zhou Yu laughed softly and took out the pills, and she immediately showed them to her. "My big sis expected it, so she gave these pills to me."
"Impossible!" Qu Qiyue shouted with wide eyes after she recognized the grade of the pills. "How? How can you have so many flawless-grade pills? I've learned alchemy for so long and concocted thousands of pills, but I've never managed to concoct a single one."
"Pay close attention to these pills." Zhou Yu said to her as she smiled faintly. "These pills are not only flawless grade, but all of them are rare pills, especially the Beauty Returning Pill."
Qu Qiyue was even more shocked after she heard that, and her eyes kept shaking as she looked at the pills. After all, she was a senior alchemist, so she didn't doubt Zhou Yu's words.
"Oops." Zhou Yu immediately kept the pills as soon as Qu Qiyue wanted to grab them. "If you want the pills, then you might as well accept my offer, and you can have them afterward. Besides, the person you will be teaching alchemy to is not a beginner alchemist, and she already has quite a lot of experience with alchemy, but her cultivation is still too low to come to this realm."
"Hmm?" Qu Qiyue raised her eyebrows after hearing that. "Who is that woman? And how long has she been studying alchemy?"
"Her name is Feng Ruxue, but I believe you won't know her." Qu Qiyue nodded at her, for she did not recognize the name. "As for her experience in alchemy, she's around a thousand years old now, so-"
"Are you kidding me?" Qu Qiyue called out to her. "Shouldn't her cultivation be quite high by now if she's over a thousand years old?"
"Ruxue's current cultivation is still at Upper Saint Realm now." Zhou Yu answered by shaking her head before explaining it to her. "However, she was born and grew up in the lower realm, and you know yourself that the qi there is too thin, so her cultivation speed is not as fast as cultivators born in the upper realms like you."
"I see." Qu Qiyue nodded in understanding after listening to her explanation. "Do you know about her alchemy abilities?"
"Hmm?" Zhou Yu thought as she tapped her finger on her chin, and she chose to contact Ling Xi first, especially since she had never witnessed Feng Ruxue concocting pills, so she did not know her true alchemy abilities. Before long, she had gotten the answer from her and immediately informed Qu Qiyue. "My big sis said that she can already concoct peak-grade pills, so I thought—"
"All right! I will go with you to meet her." Qu Qiyue immediately interrupted Zhou Yu, and her expression had already turned into one of excitement. "If Feng Ruxue is really a cultivator who was born and raised in the lower realm, then her alchemy skills are already quite high, or else she couldn't possibly concoct peak-grade pills."
"Well, that's true." Zhou Yu replied with a nod. "In that case, you should take care of your business here first, and we will immediately leave for the Sky Cloud Realm."
"Eh? Does she really live in the Sky Cloud Realm?" Zhou Yu nodded to her. "That's great! I have a disciple from the Tian Clan, and she hasn't visited me for a long time, so I can go see Feng Ruxue and her at once."
Without wasting any time, Qu Qiyue immediately tidied up the remaining herbs she used to concoct pills earlier, and she immediately went to arrange some things before leaving with Zhou Yu.
While waiting for Qu Qiyue to return, Zhou Yu checked all the herbs in the room, but she could only sigh because none of the herbs were useful for Ling Yun.
Sometime later, Qu Qiyue returned to her room and spoke to Zhou Yu directly. "Let's go now."
After that, Zhou Yu immediately took Qu Qiyue out of the room and took her away to the Sky Cloud Realm at full speed, and she also informed Ling Xi that the task was successful.

Meanwhile, the two loli spirits were sitting on a tree together, and they continued to watch Ling Yun, who was fighting many beasts at once.
Ling Xi suddenly said. "Zhou Yu succeeded in bringing Qu Qiyue here, and Ruxue's ability as an alchemist will improve again under her guidance, so she can help Ling Yun and the others concoct pills and the like."
"That's really good." Lei Lin then turned to her and asked. "Big Sis, do you feel that? Those signs are getting stronger; that means the Spirit Emperor will come out of his seclusion soon."
"En, I can feel it too." Ling Xi replied with a nod. "However, I'm not too worried about them now, especially since Ling Yun has gotten stronger, and Tang Chen is also on our side now, so I think we'll be able to get through everything well."
Lei Lin sighed softly. "I hope so."
However, they suddenly saw a giant vermilion appear in the air, and they naturally knew that it was Ling Yun's beast king fist. "Apparently, he's had enough of those beasts, so he wants to end the fight sooner."
"En." Lei Lin nodded to him. "In the past three days, Ling Yun has killed hundreds of beasts, and he can even deal with beasts at the Peak King Realm without using his dragon transformation. If he uses it now, he might be able to fight beasts at the Lower Venerate Realm."
"You're right." Ling Xi replied as she smiled faintly. "The more his seals are opened, the more Ling Yun's raw power increases, and his dragon transformation increases his strength even higher."
"If his cultivation has already broken through the Five God Realms, I think people in the upper realms won't be able to match him." Lei Lin said it with a soft sigh.
"You're wrong about that." Ling Xi shook her head at her. "The difference in strength at each stage of mortal cultivation is not very large, so Ling Yun can face many cultivators with higher cultivation than him. However, the difference in strength at each level in the Five God Realms is too vast, so I can't yet estimate to what extent he can fight with cultivators in the upper realms, and we can only know after he breaks through to that stage."
*Boom*
Suddenly, a huge explosion sounded from inside the forest, which made the ice around the area melt quickly, especially since Ling Yun's fire qi was too strong.
The two spirit women smiled before disappearing from the tree, and they reappeared beside Ling Yun, who was lying on the ground with a look of satisfaction.

Seeing their arrival, Ling Yun immediately pulled both of them into his arms and kissed their lips in turn. "What about their training?"
"Not bad, but not good either." Ling Xi answered as she laid her head on his chest. "You've killed too many beasts in this area in the past three days, so the weaker beasts ran away in fear, and we had to look for beasts in various areas to be their practice opponents."
"If you continue killing them like now, then the beasts below the King Realm will disappear from this area." Lei Lin replied as she chuckled.
Ling Yun sighed helplessly after hearing their words, but he himself found it difficult to find a suitable training place for him, especially since he didn't want to leave all his women and the others behind, for he was afraid that those powerful beasts would attack them.
Knowing his hesitation, Ling Xi then said to him. "What if I ask Zhou Yu to accompany you to train in another region later? We will stay here to protect Yi Mingxia and the others, so you don't need to be afraid of something happening to them."
"En, that's a good idea." Ling Yun replied with a nod of approval. "Even though there are many powerful beasts in other regions, I can use my chaos dragon aura to suppress them, so it's not a problem for me. All right then, I leave their safety to you, and I will go to train in another region after Zhou Yu comes back later. Anyway, what about that alchemist named Qu Qiyue? Is she willing to accept our offer?"
"Yes." Ling Xi then explained it to him. "At first, Qiyue rejected Zhou Yu's offer, but she ultimately changed her mind after seeing those pills, and they are on their way to this realm now."
"That's great!" Ling Yun then stood up and sat the two loli spirits on his shoulders, and he brought them back to the cold valley directly.
However, when they arrived there, Bai Zhongyi immediately appeared in front of them, and she pointed towards the distance while saying this. "Master! I found a quite large hotspring there, and the heat source came from an underground volcano."
"Oh?" Ling Yun was surprised to hear that. "Quickly, take me there; I want to comfort myself after training for three days in a row."
Bai Zhongyi immediately took Ling Yun away with her, but the two loli spirits did not join them.
