Wu Shattered Star River

In the following days, Jiang Han stayed in the courtyard, not stepping out of his residence.

He could sense the constant teleportation of immortals, estimating that nearly ten thousand had arrived in the past few days.

He also sensed two or three extremely powerful Supreme Realm experts, likely at the Immortal King level.

Although they concealed their auras, their qi and blood were like blazing suns. The moment they teleported and appeared in the plaza, the terrifying qi and blood spread out, making Jiang Han feel suffocated.

In the Lower Realm, he was a Supreme Ruler, the number one of his time. Now, he felt exceptionally weak, like an ant that could be crushed by any strong individual.

He hadn't planned to wander around anyway, but sensing the auras of those powerhouses, he dared not even step out of his door.

Offending any of those powerhouses could lead to instant death, and even Madam Yu might not be able to protect him.

Madam Yu went out several times in these few days, always accompanied by the silver-haired old woman, never once taking him along.

Five days later, Madam Yu returned and summoned Jiang Han, saying, "The Heavenly Pill Assembly will begin tomorrow, with three rounds of competition. For the first round, you only need to refine a fourth-grade pill, the second round a fifth-grade pill, and the third round the Dream Soul Pill."

"As long as you can successfully refine these three pills on the spot, you should have no problem entering the top ten."

Jiang Han felt relieved, as refining these three pills naturally posed no pressure for him.

Madam Yu said with a solemn expression, "Jiang Han, you must not make any mistakes this time. If you can enter the top ten, not only will the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion reward you with a pool of Crimson Flame Golden猊 beast blood, but Immortal Fairy Xinghuo will also reward you with treasures."

"There will be ten treasures in total. The first-ranked gets to choose first, followed by the second, meaning… the higher your ranking, the higher the level of treasure you can obtain."

"Immortal Fairy Xinghuo is extremely wealthy, and any treasure she brings out is priceless. If you can enter the top ten, you can keep the treasure you obtain."

"Okay, okay!"

Jiang Han's heart fluttered, and his eyes darted around as he asked, "Madam Yu, do you have any other unique pill formulas? We can use them as backups. If the Dream Soul Pill doesn't get us into the top ten, we can refine another pill? Will that add points?"

"Of course!"

Madam Yu said, "The later rounds will give you more time to refine pills. By the third round, you'll have two days. Of course, the faster you refine, and the more unique pills you refine, the higher your score will be."

"Well… there's still time before the third round. I'll send a message back to see if I can get one or two unique pill formulas."

"However…"

Madam Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Even if I get the pill formulas and prepare the materials, can you refine them in such a short time?"

"I can try!" Jiang Han said, "I'll do my best. Whether I succeed or not depends on fate."

"Alright!"

Madam Yu glanced at Aunt Zhen, who understood and turned to leave.

Madam Yu waved her hand, telling Jiang Han to return to his room to rest.

Jiang Han hesitated for a moment and asked, "Madam Yu, do you have any mask treasures that can conceal one's appearance? Could I borrow one for a while? I'll return it to you when I leave. I… want to keep a low profile."

Jiang Han remembered that he and Jiang Henshui still looked somewhat alike. He was afraid that refining the Dream Soul Pill would attract the attention of powerful individuals.

What if someone recognized his father? To avoid unnecessary trouble, he still wanted to keep a low profile.

"Hehe!"

Madam Yu smiled, and a ring on her hand lit up as she took out a demon fox mask. She handed it to Jiang Han and said, "This mask is made from ten-thousand-year-old fox fairy skin and can transform into anything. Even Immortal Kings can't see through it without using great divine powers. This treasure is only lent to you, return it to me later."

"Of course!"

Jiang Han took the mask and immediately refined it. He placed the mask on his face and activated it, and the mask actually fused with his face.

A faint demonic aura appeared on his body, and two horns even appeared on his head, making him look like a demon.

"Well, let's transform into this, it looks quite good!"

Madam Yu smiled and said, "How about changing your name too? Let's call you Jiang Xie from now on?"

"That's fine too!"

Jiang Han grinned and said, "Then I'll be called Jiang Xie from now on, thank you, Madam."

Madam Yu waved her hand, and Jiang Han returned to his room. He took out a bronze mirror and looked at himself, discovering that his features had become demonic and his aura was sinister. No matter how he looked, he resembled a demon.

"Very good!"

Jiang Han felt relieved, now he could refine pills without restraint. As long as he successfully entered the top ten, he could not only complete this mission but also receive unexpected rewards.

He sat cross-legged in his room, closing his eyes and waiting quietly.

Time quickly passed to the next day. It was already late morning when Madam Yu finally called him out.

Today, Madam Yu was dressed to the nines, wearing a black-gold palace dress. Her head, neck, and ears were adorned with various precious ornaments, making her look radiant and noble.

"Go change!"

Madam Yu handed Jiang Han a spatial ring and explained, "These are the clothes provided by the Heavenly Hidden Pavilion. Wearing them will deter most people from provoking you."

Jiang Han quickly entered the room and found six sets of exquisitely made robes inside, two black and two gray-white.

Jiang Han chose the black robe, which had a small palace emblem on the chest, resembling the Heavenly Hidden Palace.

This robe was likely a treasure, as it automatically changed size and length after being worn, becoming a perfect fit.

Jiang Han had a good figure, mainly due to years of body refinement, making him a natural clothes hanger. Wearing it made him feel strong and capable, yet with a hint of elegance.

Jiang Han walked out, and Madam Yu glanced at him and smiled, "Not bad, most of the enshrined elders are quite old, but this dress doesn't make you look old, let's go."

Madam Yu led Jiang Han and Aunt Zhen towards the outside, and as they walked, Madam Yu instructed, "Leave any matters to me later, don't speak."

Jiang Han naturally wouldn't act rashly. The three walked out of the palace and went to the plaza outside.

"This…"

Jiang Han glanced around and found the plaza filled with small black pagodas, at least ten thousand in number.

He secretly marveled and said, "There are actually so many alchemists participating?"

"Of course!"

Madam Yu said softly, "Immortal Fairy Xinghuo is very generous. Each time, those who enter the top one thousand will receive generous rewards, ensuring you don't come for nothing."

"Many alchemists know they can't enter the third round, but as long as they can enter the top one thousand, they've already made a great profit."

"Tsk tsk!"

Jiang Han couldn't help but exclaim, "The top one thousand receive generous rewards, and this Heavenly Pill Assembly is held every five years. Even if Immortal Fairy Xinghuo is rich, she can't withstand such expenditure, right? Are the rewards… given by her father?"

"Hehe!"

Madam Yu chuckled and shook her head, "The entire Xinghuo Star is hers, and this Xinghuo Star is even richer than a second-rate Immortal Kingdom, with countless resources inside. She's just a girl… she can't spend it all."

"Damn…"

Jiang Han's eyes narrowed. Immortal Fairy Xinghuo was richer than a country.

This was truly a top-tier heiress. If anyone were to marry her, wouldn't they immediately become a dragon among men and reach the peak of their life?
