Rumble!
A resounding rumble echoed, and a closed gate suddenly opened. Immediately thereafter, an elderly man with a sturdy build and graying hair strode out.
"Master, Master, you have come out of seclusion?"
"Greetings, Master. Did you succeed in your alchemy this time?"
The two cultivators guarding the gate, both dressed in the alchemist's robes of a second-grade high-tier alchemist, quickly came forward with a start, respectfully greeting him.
"Although there were some disturbances in between, I finally managed to refine this Spirit Pill as desired, making these nearly a hundred days of seclusion worthwhile."
Daoist Monarch Dan Chen was in a good mood, not hesitating to speak, and then casually asked, "During my time of seclusion, did anything happen within the Pill Treasure Hall?"
"Recently, Elder Dan Jun went out once. It is said that during the Qingxu Summit, some commotion was caused and he was expelled, having to pay a large sum of Spirit Stones to extricate himself."
