"You can leave the peak when the time comes."

"How about this?"

"Sure," Wang Mu said.

He had no idea what the strength of the disciples from the same generation was.

"Alright then, wait here for a moment," Zhong Feng said, leading Wang Mu to the side. He intended to recover a bit first.

Wang Mu took out a Qi Recovery Pill and handed it to Zhong Feng.

"You have elixirs?"

"I made them myself. Take them as you please."

"Then I'll give you these spirit stones."

Zhong Feng took out three spirit stones and gave them to Wang Mu.

Qi Recovery Pills were slightly expensive, costing three spirit stones each at Dan Sword Peak's usual prices. They could allow a disciple around the Fifth Layer of the Qi Refining Realm to completely recover their spiritual power in a very short time and were extremely useful elixirs. The higher the quality, the faster the recovery speed.

Zhong Feng didn't pay much attention. Disciples of Upper Cloud Peak had no clue about the Alchemy Dao; they only needed to consume the elixirs. Upon swallowing one, he felt a vast surge of spiritual power rush straight to his crown! It made his scalp tingle and his whole body shiver.

"Huh? Your Qi Recovery Pill seems quite impressive," Zhong Feng exclaimed in surprise. "It's much better quality than the ones I buy from Dan Sword Peak."

Wang Mu had specially gone to Li Huo Palace that day, using his action points to perform alchemy for a day. He produced three batches, yielding five top-grade and ten good ones. He kept the top-grade ones for his own use and sold the good ones to Dan Sword Peak on the spot. The one given to Zhong Feng was naturally a top-grade Qi Recovery Pill.

In just about seven and a half minutes, Zhong Feng had circulated his spiritual power through several Grand Circulations. His internal spiritual power was already fully restored, and his injuries were also much reduced.

"Remarkable, this elixir!" Zhong Feng was astounded. "It's incomparable to the Qi Recovery Pills I buy from Dan Sword Peak..."

Of course, it couldn't compare. The elixirs sold by Dan Sword Peak were mostly of good quality. Many alchemists who made top-grade elixirs would keep them for themselves, unless they urgently needed spirit stones. After all, such items were too rare. Not only did one need good luck, but a high proficiency in the elixir recipe was also necessary to produce them. Even though selling them would definitely be more profitable, why not use such fine elixirs oneself? And they weren't desperate for the few extra spirit stones of profit from top-grade elixirs.

Thus, most disciples who bought elixirs from Dan Sword Peak rarely obtained top-grade ones. To buy top-grade elixirs, the best way was to build good relationships with some senior brothers and sisters who were highly skilled in alchemy. Then, trading directly with them—buying from them personally—was how one might acquire top-grade elixirs. Buying through Dan Sword Peak's official channels only occasionally yielded top-grade elixirs.

"I guess I have a bit of a talent for alchemy," Wang Mu said.

"Then you definitely won't lack spirit stones in the future," Zhong Feng nodded. "Let's go to that open space over there and give it a try."

Zhong Feng led Wang Mu to a corner of the square. First, they registered their identities with a senior brother, and then they chose an empty space on the Training Platform.

"A disciple of Heavenly Sword Peak, huh."

"Hey kid, go easy," the senior brother responsible for registration said, looking at Wang Mu thoughtfully. He then pointed at Zhong Feng and added, "Don't bully him."

"He's my friend. Of course, I'll be careful," Zhong Feng responded seriously.

"As long as it's a normal spar," Wang Mu coughed.

Zhong Feng nodded, taking it as a polite remark.

The Training Platform wasn't very large, about a hundred paces in each direction. For cultivators, that was actually quite spacious. This was because there was also space above. If one knew the Sword Control Technique, they could just fly into the sky during a fight, making the actual size of the Training Platform irrelevant.

"Brother Wang, be careful," Zhong Feng shouted. "My sword is powerful and heavy, as if weighing a thousand catties. I will only use two moves from my basic swordsmanship—they are also what I'm best at. You should receive them with all your strength... Of course, you can also use your bow and arrows."

Wang Mu nodded.

He knew the secret sword techniques of Upper Cloud Peak were out of reach for Zhong Feng at his current realm and with his short time since joining the sect. But the basic swordsmanship of Upper Cloud Peak included many moves, and most were extremely powerful.

Wang Mu rubbed his hands. "First time fighting against a cultivator. I'm a little excited." The intensity of this battle shouldn't be too high. After all, Zhong Feng had only joined the sect four months ago. I won't need my bow and arrows; I'll just receive the attacks directly. Let's see what changes this Hundred Refinement Body Technique has brought to my body, now that it's at one hundred layers!

Eyes clear and spirit sharp, Wang Mu stood his ground, watching Zhong Feng in the distance...
