The reunion of lovers was especially tender, with Yun Tianming and Yun Yun immersed in their affection.
It is worth mentioning that his Dou Qi level increased by 1 Star, reaching the 5 Star Dou Emperor level.
Because he refined the Fallen Heart Flame, the Heart Fire continuously tempered his Dou Qi, which is why the Fallen Heart Flame is known as a "cultivation cheat."
A month later, Ya Fei sent someone to Misty Cloud Sect with a message saying that the medicinal materials had been collected.
Yun Tianming arrived at the Miteer family headquarters.
"Tianming, here's the materials you requested. Please check if anything is missing," Ya Fei said, handing him a Spatial Ring.
Using his Soul Power to scan briefly, Yun Tianming nodded in satisfaction, "The age of the materials is quite good. Thank you for your effort, Sister Ya Fei."
With these materials, Yun Tianming could refine a Sixth Grade Pill to repair Soul damage, which would restore some of Yao Tian Huo's combat power.
"Tianming, my young friend, it's truly impressive how much your strength has grown in just three years. It makes this old man feel ashamed."
A sprightly white-bearded old man slowly walked into the hall; it was none other than Hai Bo Dong, who had not been seen for a long time.
"Old Hai, you look quite well too."
With a sweep of his Soul Perception, Yun Tianming saw through Hai Bo Dong's level: 8 Star Dou Emperor. For someone of his age, advancing two stars in three years was actually quite commendable. After all, the efficiency of cultivation was limited by the level of the Qi Method.
"I've already heard from Sister Yun'er that the Miteer Family has steadfastly stood alongside the Misty Cloud Sect as allies all these years, and this is something you deserve recognition for."
Yun Tianming boldly took out a wooden box and a blue scroll from his Spatial Ring. Based on the current information, the Jia Ma Royal Family, with support from the Hall of Souls, adopted a hostile policy towards the Misty Cloud Sect, making the Miteer Family, who were friendly with the Misty Cloud Sect, a thorn in their side.
"Hehe~ I've always had a good eye!"
Hai Bo Dong smiled brightly and excitedly rubbed his hands together as he opened the wooden box and scroll. His pupils instantly contracted. Despite having some expectation of Yun Tianming's generosity, the items before him still greatly exceeded his expectations!
"Sixth Grade Pill: Mighty Huang Pill!"
"Earth Rank Low Level Ice Attribute Qi Method: Ice Peak Cold Art!" (Note: This was acquired from the Spatial Ring of Mo Tian Xing, along with the Bodhisattva Body Transformation Saliva. This detail was forgotten earlier and is now being added.)
"This, this is too precious, isn't it?"
Hai Bo Dong couldn't help but tremble as he held the items. Consuming the Mighty Huang Pill would allow him to reach the peak of the Dou Emperor level, and switching to the Earth Rank Qi Method would be like obtaining a ticket to advance to the Dou Ancestor rank!
"Hehe~ We're all on the same side; no need to be polite with me," Yun Tianming said generously with a broad smile.
"On the same side! Yes! We are all on the same side! Haha!!"
Hai Bo Dong glanced at the graceful Ya Fei standing nearby, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He was glad he had once firmly supported Ya Fei's bid to become the next heir of the Miteer Family, despite opposition within the family. Given Ya Fei's close relationship with Yun Tianming, the Miteer Family was sure to benefit in the future.
Ya Fei, with a gentle expression and graceful demeanor, poured a cup of tea for the two men.
"By the way! Have you heard about the recent actions of the royal family?"
As Hai Bo Dong spoke, his expression gradually became serious.
"According to the information obtained by Misty Cloud Sect, it seems that the Jia Ma Empire is contacting external forces?"
Yun Tianming was uncertain about this, as this plot development wasn't part of the original story.
"It's more than just contacting; Jia Ma, Chu Yun, Mulan, and Luo Yan have already formed a Four-Nation Alliance!"
The Miteer Family, with its extensive commercial network across various countries, was highly adept at intelligence gathering.
"Oh? Tell me more," Yun Tianming responded with a hint of surprise on his face. After a brief moment of thought, he realized that this likely involved manipulation by the Hall of Souls. After all, one of the most efficient ways to gather a large number of souls is by starting a war!
"The specific terms of the treaty are still unclear, but the one thing that is certain is that the primary target of the Four-Nation Alliance is the Misty Cloud Sect!"
Hai Bo Dong spoke in a deep voice. Misty Cloud Sect had produced two Dou Ancestor-level powerhouses, which naturally made surrounding forces wary. For the Jia Ma Royal Family, this was particularly unsettling, almost like a thorn in their side. Teaming up against Misty Cloud Sect was an inevitable outcome. Additionally, Yun Tianming had eliminated Protector Wu, so it was only natural for the Hall of Souls to send people for revenge.
After understanding the reasons behind these actions, Yun Tianming maintained a calm and composed demeanor.
"No matter. The mere Four-Nation Alliance is not a match for our Misty Cloud Sect."
Upon hearing this, Hai Bo Dong felt a surge of emotion and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.
"What a response to the mere Four-Nation Alliance! Haha! I knew you had plenty of tricks up your sleeve."
Although on the surface, Misty Cloud Sect appeared to have only two Dou Ancestor-level experts, Yun Tianming himself was capable of rivaling a Dou Ancestor. Additionally, they had the strongest ally, Cai Lin.
Speaking of which, Cai Lin had gone ahead with Zi Yan, but now there was no sign of them. Could it be that she was jealous? Yun Tianming was left puzzled and confused.
At that moment, Hai Bo Dong revealed a key piece of information.
"By the way, the Four-Nation Alliance originally planned to enlist the Snake People Tribe, and if they refused, to use force. At the critical moment, Queen Medusa, who had been missing for years, suddenly appeared and single-handedly repelled many of the alliance's strong fighters."
As Hai Bo Dong mentioned this, he glanced at Yun Tianming with a knowing look, aware of Yun Tianming's close relationship with Queen Medusa.
Yun Tianming rolled his eyes and didn't hide the truth, directly admitting, "Yes, as you guessed, she's my woman."
"Wow! It takes guts to get involved with a woman as notorious as her," Hai Bo Dong responded, his mouth twitching. He hadn't forgotten the terrifying memories of being almost killed and sealed for decades by Queen Medusa.
"Alright, let's leave catching up for another time."
"Today, I have something important to do."
"Ya Fei, arrange a quiet place for me; I need to refine a Sixth Grade Pill," Yun Tianming instructed.
In the restricted area of the Miteer Family's alchemy room, Yun Tianming took out the Ten Thousand Beast Cauldron and various pre-prepared medicinal ingredients. Given his current level of alchemy skills, his success rate for refining a Sixth Grade Pill was quite high.
"Finally, the time has come," Yao Tian Huo emerged from the Spatial Ring, his ethereal soul form nearly transparent, indicating extreme weakness.
"Please wait here for a moment," Yun Tianming said, taking a deep breath before summoning the Jade Ocean Lotus Heart Fire. The azure flames emitted a terrifying heat.
The pill refining process went smoothly. Although there was a slight mishap when removing impurities, causing the first attempt to fail, Yun Tianming successfully refined the pill on the second try.
