The Peak of Alchemy & Martial

Chapter 26

C26 – Miao Hujin Pill King

Yun Haoyan couldn’t help but chuckle. With a smile, he said, “No need!”

“Yay! No more lugging around that dumb rock.” Yun Tiantian exclaimed with glee, “I’ve got to tell Mom this great news!”

Yun Haoyan, catching the excitement of Yun Tiantian, gently said, “Hold off on telling Mom. Wait until you’ve reached the Martial Warrior Realm, then surprise her. Wouldn’t that be more fun?”

“You’re right!” Yun Tiantian pondered for a moment, tugging at the hem of her clothes. She agreed it was a brilliant idea.

“And another thing, don’t mention my pill-refining skills to our parents. Let’s wait until I bring my master home tomorrow. We’ll surprise them then,” Yun Haoyan whispered conspiratorially.

It felt like a game. Yun Tiantian, thrilled by the plan, nodded vigorously and said,

“Brother, that’s an excellent idea. They’ll be totally taken aback.”

“Come on, let’s go have dinner. Tomorrow, we’ll spring the surprise on them.” With that, Yun Haoyan led Yun Tiantian towards the dining hall.

Later that night, in Yun Haoyan’s bedroom.

He sat cross-legged on a meditation cushion, enveloped in swirling Spiritual Energy, his presence soaring.

Yun Haoyan exhaled a breath of stale air, his aura vibrant as a rainbow. It pattered against the paper window, crackling incessantly.

Eventually, Yun Haoyan’s aura steadied, firmly at the level five Martial Warrior.

“Forty Qi Refining Pills later, and I’ve reached level five Martial Warrior. Cosmic Unification is certainly not for the average cultivator,” he mused.

“The power of this technique is truly remarkable,” Yun Haoyan noted, clenching his fists, feeling the overwhelming strength coursing through him.

Such was the nature of Cosmic Unification. Difficult to master, yet its formidable power matched the intensity of its practice.

To ascend from level one to level five of Martial Warrior, Yun Haoyan had consumed an entire sixty Perfect Qi Refining Pills.

These weren’t just any pills; Perfect Qi Refining Pills could propel an ordinary Martial Master from level eight to level nine.

The significance of these Perfect Qi Refining Pills was immense. Consequently, the resources demanded by Cosmic Unification were beyond the reach of the average Martial Cultivator.

“It’s getting late; I should go find my master now.”

With that thought, Yun Haoyan sprang to his feet and dashed toward the place etched in his memory.

Soon after, he reached a dilapidated temple just outside Silkbarrow.

The sight of the temple brought a smile to Yun Haoyan’s face.

It was here, in his past life, that he had encountered Pill King Miao Hujin.

Fleeing from the Qiu family, he had ended up here in desperation. His master had sought refuge in the same place.

Their shared plight had garnered his master’s sympathy, leading to Yun Haoyan’s acceptance as a disciple. Together, they left the Sunbaked Land for another continent, the Primordial Realm.

His master had awakened his Hidden Spiritual Root, imparting the arts of cultivation and alchemy.

Yet, his master had sustained grave injuries and ultimately passed away in an inn.

That’s why Yun Haoyan was here, waiting—to bring his master back to the Yun family and shoulder the burden of their vendetta.

As Yun Haoyan was immersed in his recollections, an elderly figure in black garb approached, weariness etched on his face.

It wasn’t until the man drew near that Yun Haoyan recognized him. The old man’s white hair was unkempt, his long beard in disarray, but his eyes were steadfast.

Pill King Miao Hujin, his master from a former life.

“Who’s there? Show yourself!” Pill King Miao Hujin bellowed, peering into the temple.

With a resigned shrug, Yun Haoyan touched his nose and stepped forward.
