“This doesn’t concern you. Move aside first.” While suppressing the anger she felt deep down, Su Nuo addressed Ling Xiaoshuang as gently as possible.

Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly. Before she made a decision, Di Jiu said, “I’m having fun chatting with Junior Sister Xiaoshuang. Why are you telling her to go?”

Su Nuo was speechless for a moment. She had not expected Di Jiu to talk to her like this. Was he unaware of his status?

He had come with Yueshu, but did he think that Yueshu felt great respect for him? Did he really not know that he was a mere follower who was not even considered one? While Yueshu was in a good mood, Di Jiu could stay by her side. Otherwise, Di Jiu would probably be kicked away.

She supposed almost everyone knew this except Di Jiu. To put it nicely, he was Yueshu’s suitor. To put it crudely, he was just her spare tire. A spare tire who really treated himself as a VIP of the Winter Valley.

If it weren’t for Yueshu’s dignity, Su Nuo would have slapped Di Jiu into scraps.

Ling Xiaoshuang was soft on the outside but strong on the inside. If Di Jiu had not said that, she might have stood up and stepped aside. It was not that she was afraid of Su Nuo. She actually did not take Su Nuo’s words seriously at all. After all, she was a Dao Integration expert. How could she care about insignificant Su Nuo?

Now that Di Jiu had told her not to stand up, she naturally did not move.

Upon seeing that Di Jiu had dared refute her words and Ling Xiaoshuang had not even moved, even though she could hold back, her face turned somewhat ugly.

The woman named Bingshan glanced at Di Jiu in surprise. Although she did not like to gossip, she also knew some of Yin Yueshu’s interests. She had not expected that, as a follower of Yin Yueshu, he would really dare to oppose Su Nuo. Su Nuo had addressed him as Senior Brother Ah Jiu to show consideration for Yin Yueshu’s dignity. In fact, Di Jiu was nothing in Su Nuo’s eyes.

However, she did not interrupt, as this had nothing to do with her. She picked up the cup and poured a cup of Di Jiu’s Starry Sky Tea.

In her opinion, the tea there was naturally provided by the Winter Valley.

As soon as the tea was poured out, a faint tranquil aura slammed into her face. Su Nuo and Bingshan were attracted by this tranquil aura.

The woman named Bingshan held up the teacup and drained the contents in one gulp. Then, she widened her eyes and her face filled with excitement and delight.

She felt a vast starry sky that was so peaceful that it seemed to give her a brand-new universe world that was a heaven-opening life-force…

If she was thereby enlightened, maybe she would gain an even deeper understanding of the Dao.

“Good tea!” Pleasantly surprised, Bingshan glanced at Su Nuo, who was glaring at her. “Sister Nuo, I didn’t expect that the Winter Valley would even bring out this kind of tea to show its hospitality. This is the best tea I have ever had.”

The eagerness in her eyes expressed the feelings in her speech.

Puzzled, Su Nuo reached out and took the teapot to pour tea. However, Di Jiu raised his hand and put the teapot away. He then said lightly, “This is what my friend gave me, and only this little is left. If you drink it all, what will I drink?”

Upon hearing Di Jiu say that the tea was his, the woman named Bingshan was apologetic. “Sorry, Senior Brother Ah Jiu. I thought this was the tea of the Winter Valley. My name is Shao Bingshan, and I am from the Heavenly Elixir Sect…”

Before Shao Bingshan could finish speaking, a group of people came out of the inner hall one after another. Upon seeing Shao Bingshan, who was seated next to Di Jiu, Yin Yueshu quickly walked over and said with a smile, “Ah Jiu, Sister Bingshan is a Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity. If you need to use alchemy in the future, you can ask her.”

Shao Bingshan said faintly, “Sister Yueshu thinks too highly of me. Some people here are much better than me. When refining the Dao Transformation Divine Pills, they can also use elixir residue to condense the Elixir Qi and improve the level of the elixir pills, which would not be possible without such a great ability.”

A disheveled young man approached, blushed, and said, “This is absolutely possible. If the elixir residue helps condense the Elixir Qi, it can definitely improve the level of the Dao Transformation Divine Pills.”

“Dan Yan, can’t you let Senior Sister Bingshan have her way? Do you have to be so serious?” A slightly older woman could not help complaining.

Di Jiu had roughly understood why Shao Bingshan had run out angrily. It turned out that this disheveled young man was talking nonsense in front of her and tarnishing her Alchemy Dao.

The surrounding watching cultivators silently thought that the situation was not good. Everyone knew Shao Bingshan’s nature was actually very rational and he was not a temperamental person. However, once the Alchemy Dao was involved, she would completely lose her head. As long as someone undermined her Alchemy Dao, she would definitely flip out and even possibly make a move.

As expected, Shao Bingshan, who also wanted to ask Di Jiu about the Starry Sky Tea, hit the table and suddenly stood up. “I, Shao Bingshan, don’t need anyone to give way to me. Dan Yan, since you said that one can use the elixir residue to condense the Elixir Qi and even improve the level of the divine pills, refine a cauldron for me to see now. If you manage to succeed, I will admit that you are right. I will kneel and worship you as a Master.”

Blushing, Dan Yan stuttered, “Although I can’t do it yet, I think this is definitely possible. The possibility is still very high…”

The Thousand Lake Sword Villa’s Xi Xili, who was wearing white, smiled. “Why don’t all of us raise our hands to vote about who is right? Those who agree with Junior Sister Bingshan’s Alchemy Dao theory, raise your hands.”

After he said that, Xi Xili took the initiative to raise his hand.

Then, everyone else raised their hands one after another. In the end, Di Jiu saw that only four people did not raise their hands. Dan Yan and Shao Bingshan were the two parties of the debate, so they naturally did not need to raise their hands. In addition, only Di Jiu and Ling Xiaoshuang did not raise their hands.

“Xiaoshuang, why didn’t you raise your hand?” Su Nuo, who was very unhappy with Ling Xiaoshuang, suddenly asked her.

Ling Xiaoshuang smiled slightly. “Because I’m not proficient in the Alchemy Dao and I don’t know who is right. Therefore, I can’t raise my hand.”

Ling Xiaoshuang’s words made many cultivators look a little unnatural. Likewise, they also did not understand the Alchemy Dao and their level of Alchemy Dao was very low. They had raised their hands just to support Xi Xili and Shao Bingshan. Xi Xili did not have a simple background and was also a half-step Primordial Chaos expert.

Shao Bingshan was from the Heavenly Elixir Sect and was a Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity. Compared to Dan Yan, who was an Itinerant Cultivator, Shao Bingshan’s Alchemy Dao was naturally more convincing. What’s more, Dan Yan was not a Dao Transformation Alchemy Deity but a Dao Birth Alchemy Deity.

“Ah Jiu, why didn’t you raise your hand?” Yin Yueshu looked at Di Jiu with a smile. Just now, she had raised her hand to support Shao Bingshan. She had taken the initiative to bring Di Jiu to the Winter Valley and put him in the same position as her. In her opinion, Di Jiu should naturally mimic her actions.

Di Jiu replied indifferently, “I didn’t raise my hand because I think Daoist Dan Yan is right. In that case, why should I support the wrong person?”

Di Jiu’s alchemy naturally did not need the Elixir Qi in the elixir residue to improve the quality of the divine pills. However, his Alchemy Dao was much higher than Shao Bingshan’s. Using the elixir residue to improve the quality of the divine pills was definitely possible.

This was targeted at the Alchemy Masters whose Alchemy Dao was not very strong. When they were performing alchemy, the extraction of impurities was not complete so some pure useful Elixir Qi was left. Even if the Alchemy Master knew about his kind of useful Elixir Qi, they could not extract it to condense the quality of elixir pills. By doing so, they would directly convert a cauldron of elixir pills into wasted elixir pills. Not only would this not improve the quality of elixir pills, but it would also reduce the level of elixir pills.

Before creating the Nomological Alchemy Art, Di Jiu had used this kind of method. After creating it, there was almost no more useful Elixir Qi in the remnant elixir residue in the elixir pills that he had refined. Naturally, he would not use this kind of low method.
