Yan Nantian and the Supreme Elder both went into seclusion, and Tangyu wasn't idle either. Having gathered all the materials, Tangyu was ready to reopen the furnace to refine the Jinyang Pill. Last time, the attempt failed, but now Tangyu's power had greatly increased, giving him more confidence in refining the Jinyang Pill again. If the Jinyang Pill could be successfully refined, it would bring immense benefits to Tangyu. One Jinyang Pill could produce a Golden Core Realm cultivator, and the more Jinyang Pills there were, the more Golden Core Realms could be created.

This would definitely be a maddening endeavor to boost the power of the Yanshan Sect.

This time, the refining of the Jinyang Pill went smoothly. The first batch was a success, using one Immortal Spirit Fruit to produce two Jinyang Pills.

Looking at the two Jinyang Pills in his hand, Tangyu revealed a trace of joy on his face: "Success, I've finally refined the Jinyang Pill. If the Immortal Spirit Fruit were consumed directly, its effect wouldn't even be a tenth of the Jinyang Pill. Through this refining, it turns the mundane into the miraculous, becoming the Jinyang Pill. Of course, the Immortal Spirit Fruit is just one material, not the sole reason for this success. More importantly, there's also the Myriad Immortals Pill Refining Chapter from Senior Qing Yazi."

"The Myriad Immortals Pill Refining Chapter is truly miraculous, allowing the use of relatively simple materials to refine the Jinyang Pill. I have quite a few Immortal Spirit Fruits, but not much of the other materials. Never mind for now, let's see how many Jinyang Pills I can refine first."

After continuously refining pills for more than ten days, Tangyu finally ran out of materials and had to stop. During these ten days, Tangyu didn't rush, focusing on careful and meticulous refining. In these ten days, he only refined twenty furnaces, spending most of the time exploring and practicing the Myriad Immortals Pill Refining Chapter, seeking improvement in the art of alchemy. With twenty furnaces, each averaging five or six Jinyang Pills, he refined a total of one hundred and seven Jinyang Pills.

Gazing at the jade vase containing one hundred and seven Jinyang Pills, Tangyu smirked: "One hundred and seven Jinyang Pills can create one hundred and seven Golden Core Realms, enough to solve the current urgent needs, strengthen the Yanshan Sect, dominate Liang Kingdom, and then rise as a second-tier power. After completing this step, I'll rely on Master and the others to consolidate and maintain control. In the future, the Yanshan Sect will be my backyard. Once I bring Lin Feifei and the others over, they will be settled at the Yanshan Sect."

Stashing away the jade vase, Tangyu stepped outside. Yan Nantian and the Supreme Elder were still in seclusion, and Yin Gui and Qi Xingtian had not arrived yet, so he had to continue waiting.

Tangyu planned to visit Luo Xiaobing and others. Upon returning to the Yanshan Sect, he had only seen them briefly before saying a hasty goodbye. Since he returned, he had to check on them. As soon as Tangyu moved, Yaomei followed, looking like a fairy and almost rubbing herself against Tangyu: "Master, Master, how did the alchemy go?"

"Not bad," Tangyu replied.

"Master, Master, give me a taste. Let me test how effective they really are," Yaomei said.

Tangyu glared at Yaomei with annoyance: "Wishful thinking. One Jinyang Pill can create a Golden Core Realm. How could it be wasted on you?"

Yaomei immediately showed a face of grievance: "Don't say it like that, Master. I'm not treating it like candy. If I take it, I can also enhance my power. By improving my power, I can work better for you, Master."

"With your current power, if you don't reach the Zifu Realm, you're of no use to me," Tangyu bluntly struck, leaving Yaomei with a look of grievance.

Tangyu left the Main Peak, preparing to head to his Bright Moon Peak. He hadn't returned in a long time, and the Bright Moon Peak, after all, was a mountain he named himself, his home within the cultivation world.

A Golden Core Realm elder approached, showing respect to Tangyu: "Heading out for a stroll?"

Tangyu nodded: "Yes, I'm going to check on Bright Moon Peak. Since coming back, I should go have a look."

"Haha, alright, alright, do you need my company?" the Golden Core Realm elder replied.

Tangyu waved his hand: "No need, I'll go by myself." With that, Tangyu left directly. Soon, he arrived at Bright Moon Peak, and his arrival naturally caused all ten of Luo Xiaobing's group to gather with excitement on their faces. They had really thought Tangyu wouldn't come over after so many days. The difference between them and Tangyu was as vast as heaven and earth now.

Seeing all of them so extremely excited, Tangyu shook his head and laughed: "Don't just stand here, let's go inside and sit."

Luo Xiaobing immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, don't just stand here, come inside and sit. I'll go prepare the drinks. Haha, the boss is back, we must celebrate well." The others also bustled about. As Tangyu's servants, they were free to reclaim their identities once Tangyu left the Yanshan Sect. Moreover, because of Tangyu's influence, they all became formal disciples, so they didn't really need to remain Tangyu's servants.

However, they insisted on staying at Bright Moon Peak, continuing to identify as Tangyu's servants. Even being a servant was something that all disciples of the Yanshan Sect envied. This identity wasn't something just anyone could have.

Tangyu's gaze was also seriously assessing everyone. Although none truly impressed him, Niu Hong's performance gave him a slight surprise.

"Niu Hong, you've reached the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, not bad at all," Tangyu said with some appreciation.

Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm is indeed remarkable. Such progress, even among the disciples of Jiuzhou Immortal Sect, is rare. Niu Hong's advancement gave Tangyu quite a pleasant surprise. Other than Niu Hong, the highest anyone else had achieved was only the Sixth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm.

Receiving Tangyu's praise, Niu Hong showed no sign of arrogance and responded calmly, "Master overpraises me. I'm only at the Ninth Layer of the Mystic Law Realm, and I am quite ashamed."

Tangyu nodded and said, "It's good that you have the drive to improve, but remember, everything takes time. You've been cultivating for a short time and haven't ventured out for experience, so your opportunities haven't come. Your current performance is satisfactory to me. You should stay by my side these days, and I'll guide you well."

Niu Hong immediately replied, "Yes, Master." This was a great opportunity for Niu Hong, seen only with envy by others who couldn't receive such benefits. But there was nothing to be done; Tangyu, after all, is just one person and doesn't have the energy to guide everyone. Niu Hong, being Tangyu's sole disciple, naturally received special privileges that others could only envy but not have.

After spending some time with everyone, Tangyu called Niu Hong into a private chamber.

Niu Hong stood before Tangyu with a respectful and obedient demeanor, waiting for his instructions.

Tangyu said, "Niu Hong, I will provide you with some external support to help you quickly enhance your strength. However, I won't give you too much external assistance; your path needs to be walked by you. Too much external help is not beneficial for you. I have the power to immediately help you break through to the Golden Core Realm, but I won't do that. If you can't achieve it on your own, I won't assist you."

Niu Hong nodded and said, "What Master says is true. I understand the implications, and I will work hard, step by step, to enhance my strength."

"Hmm, it's good that you maintain your true heart. Cultivating Taoism is cultivating the mind and vice versa. Though it sounds convoluted, it contains supreme philosophy. If you understand it well, you will gain something. Demonstrate your cultivation technique for me; I'll guide you so you avoid detours. Time is limited, so make the most of it. Given your current state, you have great hope to break through to the Golden Core Realm," Tangyu said.

Niu Hong's talent is indeed outstanding, prompting Tangyu to train him diligently.

If Niu Hong can break through to the Golden Core Realm shortly, his future will be quite promising. He might even strive to reach the Zifu Realm. At least for now, Tangyu holds high hopes for Niu Hong.

Niu Hong nodded and began practicing his cultivation technique. After watching, Tangyu pointed out a multitude of issues, greatly benefiting Niu Hong.

Time flies, and Tangyu and Niu Hong spent more than half a month cultivating in the chamber. Though the time wasn't long, the aid it provided Niu Hong far exceeded an entire year of effort. In just half a month, Niu Hong improved significantly in all aspects, reaching a new major level.

However, he still hadn't broken through to the Golden Core Realm, which remains challenging to achieve.

Breaking through to the Golden Core Realm isn't easy. Tangyu originally relied on a lower-grade Immortal Treasure to reach it. An Immortal Treasure embodies the purest immortal power, and consuming one usually has no side effects. However, it's contingent on the individual. Without the right mindset, even an Immortal Treasure would be wasted.

One must have a certain foundation to consume an Immortal Treasure.

Tangyu initially intended to continue teaching Niu Hong. Observing Niu Hong's understanding, Tangyu recognized his potential as a gifted disciple and sought to help him break through to the Golden Core Realm. Tangyu imparted some cultivation techniques to Niu Hong, hoping to give him more time to comprehend them, but Yaomei's arrival interrupted the lesson.

Tangyu knew that his Master and the Supreme Elder had ended their retreat, and Yin Gui and Qi Xingtian had arrived, prompting Tangyu to halt. With people gathered, action was needed.

Tangyu said to Niu Hong, "Niu Hong, I've guided you as much as I could. Your talent and insight are excellent, and from here on, it will depend on your effort. I have high hopes for you and believe you'll break through to the Golden Core Realm soon. Henceforth, focus on your cultivation, and I've given you some treasures. When the opportunity arises, venture out for training; it will greatly benefit you."

Niu Hong nodded firmly, "I understand, Master. I won't let your teachings go in vain."
