Zhang Ke was considered Mi Xiaojing’s butler, while Zhang Li was already an external steward. The two of them were responsible for everyone’s food, clothing, and daily affairs.

Mi Xiaojing instructed Zhang Ke to take the two children to bathe and change clothes first, and then prepare some delicious food for them to settle down.

Mao Tou seemed more cheerful and quickly started chatting with Wei Fu, while Da Zhu appeared a bit simple-minded, only showing a smile as he stood by and watched.

With the addition of two children, Mi Xiaojing inquired and received a bad result. Except for a few tenant farmers on the outskirts of the Western Expansion Sect, it was unknown whether the people of the sect were alive or dead. There were no other members of the Western Expansion Sect left except for Mi Xiaojing, Zhang Ke, Wei Fu, and the two new children.

Everyone else had died, and Mi Xiaojing felt pain in his heart, but he didn’t show it on his face. When he first came here, there were still many laborers from the Western Expansion Sect, but these people couldn’t adapt to the life here and basically died off.

Following the rules of the Western Expansion Sect, Mi Xiaojing silently recited the mantras and only looked up after a moment.

The deceased were gone, and the living had to strive to survive.

Mi Xiaojing had already seen the cruelty of the cultivation world.

With the sect as a backing for now, as long as there were no external enemies, he would have time and energy to slowly develop and strengthen himself and his group. This was an opportunity, a great opportunity.

As for the attack from the Vast Gold Sect, with the sect’s resistance, he didn’t need to worry about it. Of course, even if he did worry, it wouldn’t make a difference. He just needed to focus on himself.

Living in the Gathering Spring Residence, all supplies were provided by the sect, including clothes, food, and daily necessities. Mi Xiaojing didn’t need to worry about them at all. This was the benefit, this was power. As long as Mi Xiaojing could provide the Elemental Infant Ancestor with the spirit pills he needed, he wouldn’t have to worry about food, clothing, and shelter.

A few days later, a large amount of materials were gathered, including some alchemy materials collected by the Elemental Infant Ancestor himself. They were all excellent things. In order to allow Mi Xiaojing to refine good spirit pills, the Elemental Infant Ancestors went all out.

Yu Hong sat in the main hall and said, “The Vast Gold Sect only attacked once. I estimate that the next attack will come soon. What should we do?”

Mu Hengyuan said calmly, “We used to have concerns, but now we’re not afraid of them. Relying on the sect’s sword formation, if they come again, we must let them know that our Heart Sect is not easy to provoke. This time, we must leave them with a profound lesson!”

Mo Chentian said, “Our strength is actually on par with the Vast Gold Sect. Even if they come to attack, it won’t be difficult to repel them, but it will be difficult to eliminate them.”

Yu Hong said with a gloomy face, “That’s not the problem. If they come again, they must have already calculated our strength and have confidence in overpowering us before they make a move.”

The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, “They should seek external help!”

The atmosphere instantly became heavy when they heard this.

The Immortal Maiden of Azure Descent said, “I hope Senior Brother will go and invite experts to help us.”

Yu Hong nodded and said, “We need to invite people. Fortunately, our sect has a genius in alchemy. We don’t need anything else as long as we provide some spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage. They will definitely be willing to come!”

Mo Chentian slapped his thigh and laughed, “Yes, yes! I was still worried about what price it would take to invite a few experts! Haha, spirit pills for the Elemental Infant stage are in high demand and can’t be bought. That’s settled!”

The mood of the Elemental Infant experts instantly became relaxed. If Mi Xiaojing didn’t refine the spirit pills, the price the sect had to pay would be higher. Besides a large amount of spirit stones, they would also need some treasures. Now, as long as they had a few spirit pills, they could invite some decent experts.

Yu Hong said, “Good. After the little guy refines a batch of spirit pills, I will go and invite people. Also, no matter what materials or treasures he needs, give them to him!”

Mu Hengyuan said, “I have already given the order. There are dedicated people ready to follow the little guy’s instructions at any time.”

Mo Chentian said, “No problem, I’ve been prepared for a long time.”

Yu Hong said, “This time, I will wipe out the Vast Gold Sect. Since we have already become enemies, they shouldn’t expect to live!”

Mi Xiaojing’s recent task had become heavier. He now occupied Chen Shouyi’s pill furnace, which was the best alchemy hall of the Heart Sect. Originally, Chen Shouyi wanted to watch Mi Xiaojing refine pills, but he was directly rejected by Mu Hengyuan.

Mu Hengyuan knew very well that with Mi Xiaojing’s success rate in alchemy, he must have some powerful inheritance, and he definitely didn’t want others to see it. If Chen Shouyi insisted on staying, Mi Xiaojing couldn’t drive him away, but he could definitely cut corners. The possibility of refining low-grade spirit pills would be very high once he had a conflicting mood.

Mu Hengyuan would never make such a mistake. He set up a formation outside the alchemy hall and only a few Elemental Infant Ancestors could enter. Others couldn’t even get in.

Mi Xiaojing knew that this was the price. Since he had received so many benefits from the Heart Sect, he had to pay an equal or even higher price. The cultivation world wasn’t that merciful. People with value and usefulness were the ones the sect sought to win over. Those without abilities or strength were not even worth a second glance. Who would care about them?

Therefore, he had to refine pills, and he had to refine good spirit pills. Mi Xiaojing understood this very well. Even though he still resented the Heart Sect in his heart, he knew that in order to grow stronger with the help of the Heart Sect, he had to have his own value and talent recognized by the sect.Sweating profusely, Mi Xiaojing was diligently refining Spirit Pills. The large Pill Cauldron he was using was originally exclusive to Chen Shouyi, but the sect had forcibly given it to Mi Xiaojing. Chen Shouyi was helpless, he never imagined that the little alchemy apprentice he had taken in could actually snatch his Pill Cauldron.

Thanks to the ample materials, Mi Xiaojing not only refined Nurturing Infant Pills, but also Hakutaku Pills and Cultivating Essence Pills. He kept refining in large quantities, never stopping as long as he had enough materials.

With the integration of inherited experience and the increase in alchemy time, Mi Xiaojing became more and more proficient. The success rate of pill formation and the rate of producing high-quality pills both improved. If it weren’t for his insufficient cultivation level, his alchemy results would be even better.

In this way, Mi Xiaojing also obtained quite a few Spirit Pills. Most of them were taken away, and he only kept a small portion for himself. Among them, he kept four medium-quality Nurturing Infant Pills, while the only two high-quality pills were excitedly taken away by Mu Hengyuan. He also refined quite a few Hakutaku Pills, but he was only able to keep three. However, among these three, one was a high-quality Hakutaku Pill.
