Chapter 267: Radiant Sovereign Art
She pointed toward another hall at the end of the hallway. Chen Tian followed her gaze and saw a smaller hall, but with superior quality pills.
The air was filled with a pleasant aroma, and the shelves were neatly organized, displaying a variety of colorful pills in intricate glass bottles.
On the first floor, only Grade 1 and Grade 2 pills are sold, but here on the second floor, the true treasures can be found.
Chen Tian nodded, his eyes scanning the shelves filled with colorful vials and jars.
He could feel the energy pulsating from the pills. Mei Lin led the way, and they made their way up the staircase to the third floor.
As they ascended, Mei Lin detailed the Pill Pavilion floors, each providing pills of higher potency and rarity. The third floor housed Grade 6 and Grade 7 pills.
The fourth floor was where alchemy apprentices worked hard to create new mixtures and learn from experienced alchemists.
On the fifth floor, only Alchemy Masters can be found, each specializing in a different type of pill-making.
The sixth floor is reserved for the most esteemed alchemists in the sect; only alchemist grandmasters are permitted there.
"Only those who are Grandmaster Alchemists can concoct Grade 6 and 7 Pills," Mei Lin explained, her eyes shining with admiration and respect.
Reaching the Grandmaster level was the ultimate goal for any aspiring alchemist in the world. The honor and influence that came with being a Grandmaster Alchemist were unparalleled.
Wherever a Grandmaster Alchemist traveled, they were warmly welcomed and treated with great respect.
"What about the Seventh Floor?" Chen Tian asked with curiosity.
"The seventh floor is strictly off-limits. That floor is the private quarter of Peak Master Duan, and no one is allowed even near it without her permission. That\'s why even other elders and grandmaster alchemists aren\'t allowed beyond the sixth floor," Mei Lin explained, her eyes filled with admiration.
"Peak Master Duan isn\'t only a powerful alchemist; she is also a formidable cultivator. She is the youngest Great Elder in our sect and achieved the Dao Emperor Realm," Mei Lin continued, her voice filled with reverence.
"Didn\'t you notice that there are no Grade 8 and 9 pills in this place? That\'s because Peak Master Duan is the only one who can make such strong pills. Only a King Alchemist can create such potent pills, and Peak Master Duan is the only one in our sect who has reached that level of skill," Mei Lin concluded, her tone full of awe.
"Being in her presence is an honor, let alone having the chance to learn from her," she added with a slight smile.
It was clear that Mei Lin held great respect for Duan Shu. She portrayed Duan Shu as an outstanding and influential figure in the sect.
Her admiration for Peak Master Duan was evident, showing that Duan Shu was a significant figure even outside the sect.
Mei Lin and Chen Tian continued up the stairs to the seventh floor of the Pill Pavilion, where Peak Master Duan lived.
Upon arrival, Mei Lin guided Chen Tian through the ornate halls of the seventh floor.
As they walked through the halls, Mei Lin and Chen Tian reached a grand door adorned with detailed carvings.
Mei Lin turned to Chen Tian and said, "Behind this door is where Peak Master Duan resides and creates her pills."
"Knock" "Knock"
Mei Lin knocked on the door, the sound echoing through the quiet hallway. After a moment, a charming voice called out,
"Enter."
Mei Lin pushed open the door and entered the room.
The room wasn\'t big; it looked more like an office, with shelves filled with ancient texts and various herbs and ingredients neatly organized.
Duan Shu was sitting on a chair behind a desk covered in scrolls and papers.
Mei Lin couldn\'t help but feel a sense of awe in the presence of Duan Shu.
"Greetings, Peak Master Duan," Mei Lin said with a bow. Peak Master Duan only nodded her head in acknowledgment.
"Thank you for bringing him here. You can leave."
Mei Lin nodded and quietly exited the room. Of course, she made sure to give Chen Tian a final look before closing the door behind her.
As she walked away, Mei Lin couldn\'t help but feel a sense of unease.
\'I hope I won\'t be blamed for what happened, but still, how can an outer disciple like him be invited by Peak Master Duan herself?\' It was a mystery that lingered in Mei Lin\'s mind as she made her way back to the first floor.
After Mei Lin left, Peak Master Duan turned to Chen Tian and said, "I don\'t think you will get into trouble the moment you come here," Duan Shu said with a faint smile.
Chen Tian realized that she was talking about his duel with Lian Feng, which had caused quite a commotion.
"Sigh, it wasn\'t on purpose. I didn\'t even want to accept his challenge in the first place," Chen Tian explained with a hint of frustration in his voice.
Duan Shu nodded understandingly, "I know. That old man wanted you to accept that challenge. Well, he does have a point if he wants to help you. Don\'t worry, with your cultivation level, you wouldn\'t have a problem with that kid."
If someone heard Duan Shu\'s words, they would be shocked, given that Lian Feng was in the top 100 of the outer courts, indicating his strong skills and reputation among the outer disciples.
So the thought of a newcomer defeating such a talented disciple as Lian Feng would be unthinkable to others.
"Help me? Do you know why he wanted me to accept that pointless challenge?" Chen Tian asked curiously.
Duan Shu nodded as she replied, "Yes, but it was better for your master to tell you himself. But first, here, take this."
A storage ring materialized in Duan Shu\'s hand, and she handed it to Chen Tian.
"What\'s this?" Chen Tian asked, examining the intricate design of the ring.
Duan Shu smiled mysteriously, "Open it, and you\'ll find out."
Chen Tian\'s curiosity piqued, he opened the storage ring and was surprised to find a cultivation manual inside.
"This is the technique that I promised to pass on to you. It\'s a rare and powerful cultivation method that will help a cultivator who has decent talent cultivate the Light Law," Duan Shu explained.
Chen Tian\'s eyes widened in excitement as he eagerly took out the manual and flipped through the pages.

Chen Tian couldn\'t believe what he was seeing. The technique was incredibly powerful and rare, he didn\'t think that Duan Shu would give him such a technique.
However, his eyes narrowed as he read through the description of the technique.
\'Incomplete?\'
"What did that mean?" He turned to Duan Shu for clarification.
"You should be grateful that I even gave you this technique. Only talented cultivators who have a great aptitude toward the light law can successfully cultivate this art," Duan Shu replied, her tone filled with arrogance.
"Even the first part can cultivate someone\'s purity of light to reach the Foundation Establishment stage, with a good foundation, but don\'t think it\'s easy, even if it\'s just the first part.
Cultivating the Radiant Sovereign Art requires dedication, focus, and a deep connection to the light law. Many have tried and failed to master even the basics of this powerful technique."
"Then, what if I wanted to learn the second part?" Chen Tian asked.
Duan Shu raised an eyebrow, her expression skeptical.
"Well, if the person is sure you have what it takes to learn the first part, then I wouldn\'t mind teaching you the second part as well."
"Thanks." That was all Chen Tian needed to hear.
"I hope you didn\'t forget your part of the deal?" Duan Shu smiled with a glint in her eyes.
"Of course not," he replied. Chen Tian took a pill bottle, and inside was his Yang Qi. The content was several times higher than what Yin Yun took last time.
Seeing the container that had Chen Tian Yang Qi inside, Duan Shu\'s eyes lit up for a moment with excitement.
Before Chen Tian could even blink, the pill bottle disappeared quickly without him noticing. Duan Shu had skillfully snatched it away, and stored it in her storage ring.
\'Good, I just ran out of his Yang Qi yesterday and couldn\'t taste it anymore,\' she thought to herself, but her expression changed as she remembered what she was just thinking.
\'No way, what am I even thinking about! I should not be drinking his Yang Qi, that\'s filthy!!\' Duan Shu quickly shook her head, trying to dispel the disturbing thoughts from her mind.
"Cough, since you fulfilled what you promised, let\'s go and meet up with that old man and Yin Yun, I still have to teach you the basics of alchemy." Duan Shu said this and led the way out of the room, deeper into the hallway.
Chen Tian followed behind her closely, until they arrived at another door.
"This is my Pill room," Duan Shu announced, opening the door and ushering Chen Tian inside.
