Chapter 460: Chapter 459 My Master Has the Qualities of a Great Emperor

Xie Jiuniang didn’t want to deal with this guy.

The previous statements were all nonsense, but the last sentence was the key point.

For a dog thing, anyone who provides milk is mother. True Lord Muhong didn’t know how to handle things, and the ancestral master let him take advantage so, by comparison, the ancestral master was naturally the best.

Jian Lingyan finally realized what she was going to do and exclaimed in shock, "Wow, you’ve finally decided to refine elixirs on your own? I’ve said it, doing it yourself would be faster."

"You’re right, all right."

This remark from Xie Jiuniang made Jian Lingyan extremely smug.

Even a Broken Sword displayed arrogance, flying and swaying in mid-air.

It swayed up to the side of Xie Jiuniang’s face.

Xie Jiuniang simply couldn’t stand it, grabbed it with one hand, and forcibly retreated it into the Divine Pattern Contract Space.

Afterward, she began to concentrate on alchemy.

Using the Divine Sense of a Nascent Soul Peak to refine a seventh-grade elixir, coupled with her prior experience, Xie Jiuniang succeeded as expected, just as she had predicted.

A faint scent of elixir wafted from the Pill Furnace.

Upon lifting the lid, three seventh-grade Xuanmai Pills lay quietly inside.

"Congratulations, Master! The pills are formed."

Jian Lingyan, unable to hold back after being quiet for so long, spoke again, "Master is so formidable, succeeding in one attempt. Truly unparalleled, with no one before and likely no one after."

This time, Xie Jiuniang didn’t find it irritating and her lips curved slightly as she said, "It’s just average, after all, my hands are inexperienced on my first real attempt, having only refined three lower quality ones. I need to practice a few more times."

"No, no, this is already very impressive."

Jian Lingyan praised her incessantly while flying out from the Contract Space.

Seeing that her dog master did not stop her from coming out, she was generous with her flattery, "In the Cultivation World, there are not many people who can successfully refine a seventh-grade elixir on their first try."

"Ah, following a master like mine is different," Jian Lingyan praised while not forgetting to boast about itself, "Ordinary people are not worthy of contracting with this divine sword, so my master is destined for greatness."

Xie Jiuniang narrowed her peach-blossom eyes slightly and offered no comment.

This dog thing had always reveled in others’ misfortune and had never embraced the idea of flattering her as its master. This time, it must truly believe in her capabilities to show such genuine enthusiasm.

Therefore, Xie Jiuniang decided to be nicer to the dog thing over the next few days.

She placed the three lower-grade Xuanmai Pills into the elixir bottle.

She sat down and began to meditate to recover the Divine Sense she had expended.

Refining a seventh-grade elixir just once had consumed nearly half of her Divine Sense. This was related to her lack of proficiency due to it being her first time, but after several more attempts and getting the hang of it, her consumption of Divine Sense would decrease relatively.

However, even with a decrease, it wouldn’t be much.

Following this trend, eighth-grade elixirs would consume more, and it was certain that refining ninth-grade elixirs would be extremely challenging—no wonder True Lord Muhong ultimately failed due to insufficient Divine Sense.

After recovering, Xie Jiuniang once again entered the Secret Realm.

This time Jian Lingyan came in with her, and with its help, Xie Jiuniang found Spirit Plants even faster.

"This time we need to prepare several more portions of Spirit Plants for the Xuanmai Pills," Xie Jiuniang instructed a Puppet to follow Jian Lingyan to dig for Spirit Plants.

Xie Jiuniang had established her own territory in the Secret Realm a while ago. To protect her territory, she had set up Formations, traps, and Puppets.

Most of the Spirit Plants required by Xie Jiuniang could be found on her own land, saving a lot of time searching.

The rest Xie Jiuniang and Broken Sword had to search for within the Fusang Secret Realm.

As the master of the Secret Realm, Demonic Beasts and Demonic Plants within could not attack her and even naturally revered her.

Some Demonic Beasts and Demonic Plants with higher intelligence even offered the Spirit Plants and treasures from their own territories.

Xie Jiuniang was not one to turn down such offers, and her purse significantly swelled once again, "In the past, we were chased around by the Demonic Beasts and Demonic Plants here, and I nearly lost my life several times. I never thought that one day, they would also be chasing after me, but instead, they’re chasing to offer me gifts."

"Yes, yes, Master is mighty, commanding the entire Secret Realm with just her presence. Truly, she is peerless, whether reaching the sky or delving into the earth. Ah, my master possesses the qualities of a great emperor!"

Jian Lingyan started singing praises of its master again.

This time, Xie Jiuniang finally noticed something amiss, "You sneaky thing, who did you learn this slick talk from?"

"What do you mean? My sincere compliments are being called slick talk? Dog master, you’re slandering me!" Jian Lingyan argued back with great emotion.

Damn exaggerated and pretending to be fierce but being timid inside.

Xie Jiuniang suddenly felt like laughing.

She didn’t continue on this topic.

Jian Lingyan silently breathed a sigh of relief.

As a damaged sword, it wasn’t easy, was it? Always having to worry about its master succumbing to demonic possession was truly terrifying for this divine sword.

Having obtained a large batch of Spirit Plants from the Fusang Secret Realm.

Xie Jiuniang planned to refine Elixirs once again.

But just after she left the Secret Realm, she noticed that the atmosphere in the camp was off.

The surprised voice of Jian Lingyan had already risen, "There is fighting outside, a small group of the Demon Clan is attacking."

"That’s just perfect, a chance to stretch my muscles," Xie Jiuniang disguised herself as a male cultivator and immediately flew out from her residence.

From high above, the view was wide open.

She could see at once that there were fights in several areas along the front lines.

This time was different from the last.

Previously, Golden Core Disciples struggled to resist, but this time Nascent Soul Elders appeared in time to intercept the ambushing Demon Clan squads. The patrolling Golden Core Disciples stood watching from a distance.

Xie Jiuniang saw Lord Ying’an.

This time no powerful being from the Demon Clan appeared, just a few Demon Clan scouting teams. Therefore, Lord Ying’an didn’t make a move.

Xie Jiuniang flew to his side and greeted him first, "Lord Ying’an."

Lord Ying’an smiled and said, "It’s really rare to see you today."

"Lord, where are you coming from? To see me, you just need a Sound Transmission Talisman," Xie Jiuniang stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.

Lord Ying’an said with a smile, "If I disturb you with a Sound Transmission, won’t I be scolded?"

"How could that possibly be? Being summoned by you, Lord, is an honor for us," Xie Jiuniang said with utmost sincerity.

Lord Ying’an was slightly stunned, then remembered that every time he saw her, something had happened, and such an honor was not something everyone could withstand. He subtly changed the subject, "What brings you out this time?"

"As a cultivator coming to the Border Battlefield, naturally, I have to take on my responsibilities," Xie Jiuniang said with an impressive air of righteousness.

"That’s a good thought," said Lord Ying’an.

He pointed in a certain direction with a smile in his eyes, "That group of Demon Clan is yours, be careful when you go over. The leader of the Demon Clan is very ugly, and his strength won’t be too weak."

Xie Jiuniang looked in the direction he pointed and, using her Divine Sense, indeed saw a group of ten Demon Clan members stealthily advancing toward their side.

Their cautious movements, thinking themselves quite concealed.

But what they didn’t know was that every move they made was being watched by those at the level of Divinity Transformation.

Even so, under normal circumstances, those at the level of Divinity Transformation would not take action.

Unless someone from the Demon Clan with the same level of strength approached.

On a day like today, it’s generally the Nascent Soul and Golden Core Cultivators who take action, not only to stop the enemy but also as a form of training — appropriate combat can not only increase strength but also temper one’s will.

Xie Jiuniang teleported in front of the group of Demon Clan members.

Blocking their path.

The Demon Clan members were suddenly faced with a cultivator blocking their way, but instead of being afraid, they were very excited.

"There’s a lone cultivator ahead, we’ve struck it rich! Our Magic Artifacts and Elixirs are on their way!"

"Attack! Let’s all strike together."

The Elixirs and Magic Artifacts from the Cultivation World were also highly sought after in the Demon Clan.

Seeing a lone cultivator, the Demon Clan members were the most excited, as in their eyes, this was a big, fat sheep, a rare chance to strike it rich.

Xie Jiuniang stood firm with her Broken Sword in hand.

Her clothes fluttering without wind, she waited calmly for the Demon Clan members to approach.
