Perhaps I Will Never Be Able to Surpass Him in This Life!

In the sky, the naked silhouette of a young woman steadily landed in front of Gu Fei. Her delicate body, exquisite facial features, and beautiful eyes, filled with fear like a tear-stained flower, gazed at Gu Fei.

"Who would have thought! This Mysterious Pill turned out to be a weak girl."

"I must say, she suddenly seems rather pitiable."

"What a shame."

"Such a spiritual entity, in the end, is destined to be swallowed."

Her fragile appearance aroused a protective instinct in many onlookers. However, in the next moment, her expression changed drastically, as if struck by lightning.

She trembled all over, her eyes flashing with terror, as though she was facing the judgment of death. The beautiful woman retreated in fear, trying to escape Gu Fei's control.

However, just as she started fleeing, he flashed forward and blocked her path.

"Your life was created by me. Naturally, I have the right to take it away."

His voice was cold, his gaze sharp as a blade, staring directly at the newly-born intelligent being. This being, in essence, was nothing more than a man-made celestial treasure- a thing, not a person!

After all, this Ninth-Grade Mysterious Pill was created in defiance of the natural order. Without borrowing the power of heaven and earth, it could never have come into existence.

Gu Fei understood clearly that allowing such an intelligent being to grow could lead to endless trouble in the future. A newly-born entity with such a strong intellect, if left unchecked, could become a disaster.

Furthermore, the purpose of refining a ninth-grade pill was for consumption, not to create a new life.

If this entity continued to develop intelligence, wouldn't it eventually become human?

It was best to erase its consciousness before it gained more memories.

Seeing his cold gaze, the beautiful woman became even more terrified. Her legs wobbled, barely able to support her.

But even so, she was unwilling to die so easily. A look of determination flashed in her eyes, as if she was ready to fight for her life.

However, she had greatly underestimated Gu Fei's resolve.

With a flick of his finger, a soul mark appeared in the air, instantly striking the woman's forehead like lightning.

In an instant, the woman's beautiful face twisted, her eyes losing their luster.

The next moment, her body began to turn transparent, as if it might vanish into the void at any moment.

Moments later, the figure completely disappeared, replaced by a dragon eye-sized pill radiating dazzling light, with intricate patterns flowing on its surface, emitting a fragrant aroma.

The entire process was smooth and swift, without a hint of hesitation.

The crowd below was left in stunned silence, unable to recover for a long time.

It wasn't until he reached out and stored the pill that everyone woke up, realizing the breathtaking performance had finally ended.

"Gu Fei, my friend, you truly are a prodigy in alchemy! Today's creation of the Mysterious Pill will surely shake the world, and none can rival you!"

Elder Shen Nong sincerely praised.

As a revered figure in the alchemy world, his words represented the highest recognition.

This praise signaled that Gu Fei would now undeniably become the foremost alchemist of this era.

"You flatter me, Senior."

He responded humbly, bowing respectfully to Shen Nong with a calm smile.

"Young Master is so modest, it puts this old man to shame. Today's display has opened my eyes and taught me a great deal," Yao Wanhuo praised as well, his face full of genuine admiration.

"Indeed, after this battle, the alchemy world will enter a new era, and Gu Fei is the true pioneer of this time!"

Even the leader of the Yao Clan chimed in with a remark.

"You praise me too much."

"This success also owes to the efforts of the three masters."

Gu Fei smiled and expressed his gratitude.

"The title of 'World's Greatest Alchemist' should have been mine!"

Only Hun Huzi, his face gloomy, looked on with jealousy and resentment. The title he had once been determined to claim had now become another's honor, a bitter pill to swallow.

He was probably inwardly seething but dared not act rashly in the face of Gu Fei's overwhelming power.

"This man's excellence... I may never be able to reach his level, no matter how hard I try in this lifetime..."

Amid the crowd, Xiao Yan blended in, but he lacked the qualifications to step forward.

Just moments ago, the breathtaking alchemy performance in the sky had proven that Gu Fei's alchemy skills had reached the pinnacle of perfection.

Though he was a direct disciple of Yao Chen and had inherited all of his teachings, at most, he could only refine lower-level eighth-grade pills at this time.

"Husband, congratulations! I knew you could do it!"

Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin, unable to hold back any longer, rushed forward and tightly hugged Gu Fei's arms, their eyes full of admiration and pride.

As his wives, they understood better than anyone what this title meant to him.

Gu Fei gently stroked their hair, a doting smile on his face. With them by his side, any achievement was made all the sweeter.

"Let's go. I'll take you all to explore the Shenglong Mountains and relax a bit."

He turned to invite everyone to visit the Shenglong Mountain Range.

He had no intention of staying in the Yao Realm any longer. Though he was at the peak of his fame, this was still the territory of the Yao Clan, and lingering could invite unnecessary trouble and envy.

After bidding farewell to the Yao Dan and others, he led Xiao Yi Xian and the others away from the Yao Realm, heading straight for the Shenglong Mountain Range.

It was located in the southern part of Central Plains, and was known for their treacherous terrain and dense vegetation.

Due to the presence of poisonous insects and fierce beasts, it was a place few dared to venture.

However, for a powerhouse like Gu Fei, such dangers were insignificant.

The scenery along the way was breathtaking, with towering ancient trees and abundant spiritual energy in the air.

He walked slowly with the women, enjoying the beautiful scenery and pleasant conversation.

Suddenly, Gu Fei halted, his expression becoming serious as he looked toward Xiao Ying.

The others stopped as well.

At that moment, the pink lotus flame mark on Xiao Ying's forehead, originally representing the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame, began to display strange black lines.

These lines wound around like vines, intertwining with the lotus mark and exuding a sinister, eerie aura.

"What's going on?"

Xiao Yi Xian was the first to notice Ying's abnormality, her eyes wide with shock.

Gu Fei didn't immediately respond. Instead, he stared intently at Xiao Ying, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

After a moment, he finally exhaled a long breath, his face breaking into a radiant smile.

"You've succeeded! It seems you've managed to refine a trace of Nihility Devouring Flame!"
