Returning to his courtyard, as soon as he arrived, a charming figure flashed out, and a wave of enchanting energy surged directly toward Tangyu. Faced with this enchanting energy, Tangyu naturally remained unfazed, with a jolt of his mind, he shattered the charm force.

His gaze shifted slightly toward Yaomei, who spoke with a trace of grievance: "Master, master, you've completely forgotten about me. You didn't even greet me when you returned, you're so mean."

Hearing these somewhat flirtatious words, Tangyu felt a bit of goosebumps and even began to question whether it was right or wrong to have taken in this Charming Beast. However, there was something that pleasantly surprised Tangyu: "I didn't expect that after more than half a year of not seeing you, you've actually broken through to the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm. Impressive, impressive, it seems your potential is indeed quite extraordinary."

Previously, Yaomei was at the Seventh Level of the Mystic Law Realm, and now she had broken through to the Ninth Layer in just over half a year, a truly swift progress. The Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm indeed, among this batch of disciples, there likely aren't many who can reach this level, right? As for Tangyu, if it weren't for obtaining a Lower Grade Immortal Treasure Linglong Saliva, he would likely be at most around the eighth or ninth layer of the Mystic Law Realm now. So, Yaomei's progress indeed brought Tangyu a bit of surprise.

Yaomei, upon hearing Tangyu praise her, smiled proudly and flirtatiously said to Tangyu: "Of course, I, Yaomei, am the smartest, most beautiful, and most talented Charming Beast in heaven and earth. Give me another half year, and I can break through to the Golden Core Realm. What's the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, it's a piece of cake for me. But, but, master, do you think you can get me some powerful cultivation techniques? And, and, can you get me a Golden Core, preferably a Yao Race or Beast Clan Golden Core?"

"Powerful cultivation techniques, I'll do my best, though not many are suitable for your cultivation. If our human ones were suitable for your cultivation, that would be better." Tangyu shook his head and said, "As for the Golden Core, Yao Race and Beast Clan ones are hard to come by. I do have a human one, but why do you need the Golden Core?"

Yaomei's eyes immediately lit up as she said, "A human one? That works, I can try it. I seem to have an inherited secret technique that can directly refine a Golden Core and then use the Golden Core Power to break through to the Golden Core Realm."

"What!" Tangyu was somewhat surprised as he looked at Yaomei: "You can actually directly refine a Golden Core?"

This indeed surprised Tangyu. Though a Golden Core contains a large amount of Pure Yang Power, and even some condensed immortal power, a Golden Core is, after all, not an Immortal Treasure. Immortal Treasures are called so because the immortal power inside is relatively gentle and can be directly absorbed. The power within a Golden Core, however, is quite domineering and chaotic, and if forcibly absorbed, the result could very likely be an explosion. Therefore, directly refining a Golden Core is something unheard of.

If it were so easy, achieving a Golden Core would be too simple; you'd only need to get a Golden Core to reach the Golden Core Realm. Naturally, such a thing is impossible. By this means, you could mass-produce Golden Cores, which would make them worthless.

From what Tangyu knows, the widely recognized method is only one: to refine Pure Yang Golden Elixirs that can break through to the Golden Core Realm by consuming them. But Pure Yang Golden Elixirs are very hard to produce. Even Jiuzhou Immortal Sect doesn't have an Alchemy Master who can make Pure Yang Golden Elixirs. If a faction has such an Alchemy Master, they would definitely be a highly esteemed guest.

Of course, Pure Yang Golden Elixirs also have some drawbacks. They're still not like Immortal Treasures, relying on Pure Yang Golden Elixirs for breakthrough can bring some side effects. It can slow down one's cultivation speed, even possibly bring it to a complete halt. Therefore, those who have confidence in relying on their own talent to break through to the Golden Core Realm generally wouldn't use Pure Yang Golden Elixirs. Those who do tend to be of average potential, who otherwise would have no hope of reaching the Golden Core Realm in their lifetime, hence they resort to Pure Yang Golden Elixirs to make breakthroughs.

It comes with pros and cons, how to balance them is up to the individual. However, a Pure Yang Golden Elixir of excellent quality brings minimal side effects, making it insignificant for some people.

Yaomei said very proudly: "Of course, don't you know who I am? I am the most beautiful and talented Charming Beast in heaven and earth. Quickly, quickly, master, give me a Golden Core and I'll become a Golden Core Realm Charming Beast. When we go out for adventures, I will be able to protect you."

Tangyu shook his head and said: "Even if you break through to the Golden Core Realm, you can't protect me." Yet with a flick of his hand, Tangyu did take out a Golden Core.

Seeing the Golden Core in Tangyu's hand, Yaomei snatched it over: "Haha, I knew master, you have a Golden Core. Master, you're so powerful. Don't worry, I'll break through to the Golden Core first, and then I'll continue to make breakthroughs. Even if I can't help you with big things, I can still help you with small ones. A Golden Core Realm Charming Beast is something really powerful. Just wait and see, master."

With the Golden Core in hand, Yaomei left with joy. After sending her off, Tangyu couldn't help but shake his head and smile. If Yaomei really manages to break through to the Golden Core Realm, she might indeed become a significant support. A Golden Core Realm has considerable value.

"Pure Yang Golden Elixir, I currently have the Golden Core, Immortal Spirit Fruit, and Pill Furnace. With these main materials, plus a few other materials, I can gather the necessary components to refine the Pure Yang Golden Elixir. Given my current ability, I'm not sure if I can attempt to refine the Pure Yang Golden Elixir. If I can successfully refine the Pure Yang Golden Elixir, the benefits for me will be immense. Selling it could also earn me a considerable profit, bringing endless advantages."

"Moreover, I can elevate Wang Qiutian and the others to the Golden Core Realm, which would be a great aid to me in the future. Also, the Yanshan Sect can cultivate several Golden Cores, solidifying Yanshan Sect's status. My next plan is to eliminate the Liang Kingdom and let Yanshan Sect take its place. If Yanshan Sect relies solely on me, that's clearly insufficient. I need more Golden Core Realm practitioners to support this. If I can train dozens of people to reach the Golden Core Realm, it might just be enough to sustain this."

"I must stabilize my position here, or else I won't be able to bring Lin Feifei and the others over later. Once I destroy the Liang Kingdom and consolidate the power of Yanshan Sect, I can consider bringing them over. This is highly significant for me, so the success of refining the Pure Yang Golden Elixir is critical."

With this thought, Tangyu resolved to refine the Pure Yang Golden Elixir. He had an abundance of Immortal Spirit Fruits with him, enough to refine hundreds of elixirs. He had given Yaomei one elixir, and now Tangyu had four left. However, two of them were of higher quality, containing Golden Cores from Yao Xue and Blood Demons. These are the most essential materials, and what's left are some auxiliary materials.

Having decided, Tangyu took action. The acquisition of other materials was quite manageable. Tangyu made a trip to Jiuzhou City and, after spending some Pure Yang Stones, naturally purchased them with ease. Tangyu's reputation in Jiuzhou City is quite significant now, so without much effort, he secured everything amidst the sellers' enthusiasm. After buying all the materials, Tangyu returned to his courtyard in the Second Heaven and entered the Seclusion Room.

Tangyu took out the Pill Furnace and, using his Pure Yang Power, conjured Pure Yang Fire to heat the furnace. It had been over a year since his last attempt at alchemy.

Tangyu carefully studied Qing Yazi's "Myriad Immortals Pill Practice," which contains detailed records of the Pure Yang Immortal Pill refinement method. Even though he knew the method, achieving successful refinement is not easy. The difficulty in refining the Pure Yang Golden Elixir is exceedingly high; a slight mistake could lead to failure. If the refinement fails, the cost is substantial. Just one Golden Core is already valuable.

Tangyu didn't rush into refining the Pure Yang Golden Elixir right away. Instead, he started with the simpler Pure Yang Pill. The Pure Yang Pill can directly elevate an ordinary person to the Mystic Law Realm. Tangyu was preparing the Pure Yang Pill for Lin Feifei as well.

The refinement of the Pure Yang Pill went smoothly, as Tangyu's skill level has greatly improved, enhancing his control over details in various aspects. As a result, the refinement was somewhat effortless. Refining the Pure Yang Pill only requires the Immortal Spirit Fruit. After refining two furnaces, Tangyu successfully produced two Pure Yang Pills.

Feeling confident, Tangyu started on the Pure Yang Golden Elixir.

Refining the Pure Yang Golden Elixir was evidently much more challenging, as this attempt took a full three days, ending with the furnace exploding. The first attempt proved unsuccessful, wasting a Golden Core.

Tangyu frowned slightly, seeking to learn from this failure and pondering what went wrong.

This contemplation lasted another two days before Tangyu initiated another attempt, putting in a second batch of materials. This time, to his frustration, during Core Formation, he was perhaps too hasty. The elixir failed to form successfully, resulting in another explosion at the critical moment.

The two failures led Tangyu to shake his head: "Refining the Pure Yang Golden Elixir truly is exceedingly difficult. My alchemy technique needs improvement, otherwise, I don't know how many times I'll fail before succeeding even once. Besides, without substantial control, even a rare success doesn't guarantee continuous success. If refining like this, the cost is too high, which is not worthwhile."

After considering the time, Tangyu realized the disciples' competition should be starting soon. Thus, he decided not to continue his attempts. Instead, he collected his thoughts and exited the secret room. Not seeing Yaomei, who should still be in seclusion, hoping she's making progress in her breakthrough, Tangyu temporarily chose not to concern himself with Yaomei and stepped outside. He found the surroundings very quiet, with hardly any sound.

"Hmm? Could the disciples' competition have already started? Calculating the time, it seems today is the start, and it appears everyone went to the Third Heaven. I'd better go directly to the Third Heaven and have a look." Tangyu raised his eyebrows slightly and quickly made his way to the Third Heaven.
