Chapter 373 – Is Master Still in Seclusion? Li Zixuan's Doubts!

Inside the alchemy room.

Steam swirled densely, with wisps of black impurity smoke dispersing.

The cauldron glowed as hot as the blazing sun.

Only after a moment did the beast fire supporting it from below finally burn out.

Qin Yang beckoned toward the cauldron, and a handful of pills landed in his palm.

“Three days of refining, and it’s finally done.”

He inspected the pills in his hand, feeling a wave of relief, then walked out of the room. Just as he opened the door to call for Xiaobai,

he was taken aback by the sight outside.

Good heavens!

The area outside was bustling with endless chatter—Elder Li and the others had long since lined up in a row.

Seeing Qin Yang emerge from the room, each wore an awkward smile, exchanging glances and feeling somewhat embarrassed.

Qin Yang had explicitly ordered them not to approach,

yet they couldn’t resist and had followed the scent over!

And now they’d been caught red-handed!

“Congratulations, Young Gang Leader!”

Liu Wushuang was the first to step forward, cupping his hands with a respectful, beaming smile. “Your alchemy has reached great mastery!”

Seeing this, the others crowded around, opening their mouths to join in the celebration.

“Enough.”

“No need for formalities.”

Qin Yang waved his hand, smiling as he cut off their attempts. “This pill is called the Supreme Pill, and it was refined for all of you.

Grandmasters who take it can directly cross the threshold into the Supreme Realm. Those already at the Supreme level can use it to advance further toward the Celestial Venerable Realm.”

“This…”

Hearing this, everyone froze for a moment. Once it sank in, they looked at Qin Yang with gratitude, their hearts swelling with exhilaration.

So all this effort was to help everyone improve?

“Thank you, Young Gang Leader!!”

……

……

Afternoon.

The weather was cool and refreshing.

It was as if an autumn breeze had swept through Jianghai City overnight, carrying away the summer heat.

In the courtyard, green leaves spiraled down in the wind. Qin Yang brewed a pot of cooling tea, set up a table, and enjoyed the leisurely moment.

“Old Qin, so… this weather is your doing?”

Xia He, sitting across from him, looked up and stroked his stubbly beard, chattering nonstop.

“Three years apart, and your Dao techniques have gotten even more divine. You can even control the weather at will now?”

“What? Not happy about the cooler temperatures?”

Qin Yang rolled his eyes, raising his right hand with fingers poised as if to form a seal:

“Then I’ll take it back.”

“Hey, hey, don’t! I was just saying. You’ve done well, Old Qin. With the weather cooler, my little rascal at home won’t get heat rash… it’s a good thing!”

At this, Xia He grinned cheekily, pulling out his phone from his pocket. He opened the photo album and slid it across the table. “Take a look at my little rascal’s photos.”

Qin Yang took the phone and looked through the album.

In the picture, beside an infant basket stood a chubby, fair boy. His plump hands gripped the wooden railing, and he wore a green dinosaur onesie, looking utterly adorable.

“When did you have a son?”

Qin Yang was surprised.

“Heh, my humble son, don’t laugh.”

Xia He scratched the back of his head, a proud expression spreading across his face. “It was during those three years you were gone. This little guy came along later, just to keep his old man entertained.”

“Is that so…”

Gazing at the babbling infant in the photos,

Qin Yang felt a momentary daze.

Three years had passed in a flash, and the people around him had changed tremendously.

Now, even Xia He had a child!”Heh, Old Qin, when you have time, how about having this brat acknowledge a godfather?”

Xia He scratched his head sheepishly, “Just in name only, for familiarity’s sake… If you mind, we can forget it.”

“Tch, isn’t that a trivial matter?”

Qin Yang smiled helplessly, stroked his Star Ring, and took out a jade bottle to place on the table.

The gentle sunlight passing through the bottle illuminated the Pills inside, making them appear plump and perfectly round.

“Take this bottle of Marrow Cleansing Pills first. Give one to the child each morning and evening to nourish their constitution. There’ll be no problem reaching the Grandmaster Realm in the future.”

“The child is still young now. Later, I’ll find time to prepare some training methods. Wait until their bone structure stabilizes before practicing; they might even reach the Supreme Realm.”

“Holy shit, Old Qin, you’re really giving this?!”

After taking the pill bottle, Xia He’s eyes instantly widened, his pupils shaking with shock.

No way!

I was just casually mentioning it!

And you’ve already reserved a spot in the Supreme Realm?!

“This… I…”

Xia He smacked his lips, speechless for a moment. After a long silence, he finally managed to utter: “Old Qin, you’re awesome!”

………

Jianghai City was already enveloped in night.

Qin Yang’s figure swept over the city sky, heading straight for Lishui Lake Bed he hadn’t visited in three years.

Now that time had passed.

With the Beast God’s blood as foundation, the Blood Spirit Formation was no longer as violent as before.

The schools of fish at the lake bottom had increased again, with several koi carp circling around the aquatic plants. The formation was hidden in the settled sand, faint red light barely visible.

As if integrated with the surrounding scenery.

“Indeed, the feeling is different from before.”

Qin Yang’s expression turned serious as his mental power spread out like water.

After stepping into the Late-stage Celestial Venerable Realm.

His visual perception had become transparent, like a dusty bronze mirror wiped clean at one corner, allowing him to glimpse the hidden aspects of this world.

Now, operating the Blood Law again, he had gained new insights.

Plus, the Blood Spirit Formation had been fully analyzed.

“Hmm, reforming the Blood Spirit Formation… it’s time for a new direction.”
