“Yes!” Billy turned to the crowd and smiled.
“I feel like the pills made with the Infinite Furnace aren’t much stronger than those made with other furnaces!” Stout examined a Mixing Essence Pill and continued.
“Boss can achieve a purity of over ninety-five percent even with a regular furnace!”
“But now it’s only ninety-nine percent, which is weak. I thought it could reach one hundred percent!”
Jennifer’s lips twitched slightly. “Do you know what ninety-nine percent purity means?”
“Not just in The Wilderness, but even in the seventh-tier star domain, no one has ever heard of pills with ninety-nine percent purity!”
“After surpassing ninety-five percent, each increase of point one is as difficult as climbing to the heavens! The efficacy is worlds apart!”
“Take this Mixing Essence Pill, for example. If refined successfully, anyone below the Source Realm, regardless of their level, can at least advance one rank!”
“Ordinary low-tier Mixing Essence Pills can’t guarantee a breakthrough, which has been proven by countless people!”
“Alright!” Stout smacked his lips again.
“Ma’am, these two are for you!” Billy handed two Mixing Essence Pills to Jennifer.
“Okay!” Jennifer didn’t refuse, as these pills were evidently useful to her as well.
For the next few days, everyone continued their cultivation without doing anything else.
… In The Wilderness, an unknown star domain, six women were flying leisurely through the air.
They were Sanaa, her sister, Harleen, and three others!
“Miss Sanaa, are Billy and his group really in Desert City?” Ivy asked Sanaa.
“Yes!” Sanaa nodded.
“I just got word that he went to Herb City, killed four Ghost Kings of the nether clan, and took the formula for low-tier Mixing Essence Pills from the Mysterious Pill Sect.”
“If I’m not mistaken, he should be in Desert City refining Mixing Essence Pills these days.”
“Killed four Ghost Kings of the nether clan?” Harleen’s face showed a trace of worry. “Will the nether clan send people to Desert City?”
“Don’t worry!” Sanaa replied. “The nether clan’s main targets are the Demonic Clan and me right now. They won’t spend too much effort on Desert City for now!”
“Miss Sanaa, why is the nether clan after you?” Amber asked.
“For two reasons!” Sanaa responded.
“First, they want to return to the seventh-tier star domain and hope my backing can help them, or they want to capture me to force my backers.”
“Second, they want to seize the Nine Dragons Cauldron but fear I might interfere, so they want to test my strength first.”
“Miss Sanaa, does the nether clan know your background?” Ivy continued to ask.
“No!” Sanaa paused before adding, “If they truly knew my background, they wouldn’t dare have such naive thoughts even with a thousand guts…”
As she spoke, she turned her gaze slightly to the right front. “They came quite quickly!”
As her words fell, a powerful aura swept towards them, and the pressure in the void rapidly increased.
Soon after, a group of ten appeared in the distance.
Leading them was Ezekiel Callahan, Vice Master of the nether clan!
He was not weak, being in the mid-to-late Prime Source Realm!
Following him were nine others, all of whom were also in the Prime Source Realm. The weakest was first-rank Prime Source Realm, and the strongest was fifth-rank Prime Source Realm.
To capture Sanaa, the nether clan had indeed gone all out.
“I’ve long heard of Miss Sanaa’s great name. It’s an honor to meet you today!” Ezekiel Callahan bowed slightly as he approached.
“Speak up!” Sanaa glanced at them. “Do you want to take me back or take them back?”
“Miss Sanaa, you’ve misunderstood!” Ezekiel Callahan bowed again. “I’m here on behalf of our clan leader to invite Miss Sanaa to Wilderness City as a guest…”
“What if I refuse?” Sanaa interrupted him.
“Miss Sanaa, don’t misunderstand. Our clan leader has no ill intentions; he just wants to invite Miss Sanaa…” Ezekiel Callahan continued.
“Go back and tell your clan leader that my backing is not something he can provoke. He should give up early.” Sanaa interrupted again.
“Also, a piece of advice: stay quietly in The Wilderness. The nether clan might still have a chance to survive!”
“Otherwise, human greed is insatiable and can lead to trouble; the nether clan might truly face extinction!”
“Thank you for the warning, Miss Sanaa!” Ezekiel Callahan responded.
“Miss Sanaa should be well aware that The Wilderness’s spiritual energy can only sustain life for another hundred years at most!”
“In a hundred years, The Wilderness will become a dead land where no living beings can survive, including the nether clan!”
“If The Wilderness doesn’t work out, there are other places. The seventh-tier star domain is vast; there’s always a place for you!” Sanaa replied again.
“Stop thinking about returning to the seventh-tier star domain for revenge. Not to belittle you, but compared to Heaven Alliance, you are as insignificant as dust!”
“Haha… Miss Sanaa underestimates my nether clan!” Ezekiel Callahan retorted.
“It’s you who underestimate Heaven Alliance!” Sanaa said calmly.
“I know you have trump cards, but even if you use all of them, it’s child’s play compared to Heaven Alliance. To wipe you out might be just a thought for them!”
“Miss Sanaa underestimates my nether clan too much!” A white-robed man in the third-rank Prime Source Realm stepped forward.
“I’ve long heard of Miss Sanaa’s skills and would like to learn from you. Please grant me this opportunity!”
“Idiot!” Rose smacked her lips. “You don’t even qualify to make my sister take action!”
She then turned to Harleen and the others. “Ladies, haven’t you always wanted to see how strong you’ve become? Now’s your chance. Do you want to try?”
“I’ll go!” Ivy drew her sword and stepped forward.
“Ivy, be careful!” Harleen said.
“Yes!” Ivy nodded.
“You are not my match. Let Miss Sanaa come out!” The white-robed man dismissed Ivy with a glance.
“You really are an idiot!” Sanaa replied. “If you can defeat her, I’ll go with you to Wilderness City!”
“I hope Miss Sanaa keeps her word!” Hearing this, Ezekiel Callahan’s eyes lit up as he looked at the white-robed man. “Third Ghost King, in that case, face this young lady!”
“Alright!” Third Ghost King nodded and looked at Ivy. “Come with me!”
The two then flew off to the side.
“I’ll let you make the first move!” After flying several thousand meters away, Third Ghost King spoke in a deep voice.
“Alright!” Ivy didn’t waste words with him.
As she spoke, a powerful aura burst forth from her body.
She then swiftly moved forward, her sword emitting a powerful force that shook the air.
It seemed like an ordinary strike but contained thunderous energy. The sword’s force compressed the void intensely, creating ripples.
Both in momentum and power, it was significantly stronger than her previous swordsmanship.
Sensing the power of this strike, Third Ghost King’s pupils contracted slightly as he raised his hand to form a barrier.
With a loud bang, a figure was blasted seven or eight hundred meters away-it was Third Ghost King, with blood faintly visible at the corner of his mouth.
This was the consequence of underestimating his opponent!
After one move, Ivy didn’t pause and quickly launched a second sword strike.
Third Ghost King frowned tightly and punched at the sword light. The resulting shockwave forced both Ivy and him back three or four hundred meters.
“You’ve got some skill. Take this move!” Third Ghost King steadied himself and instantly disappeared from sight.
The next moment, a massive vortex of air swept towards Ivy, tearing through the void as it approached.
