Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

You should know that in order to get them to give up the pursuit, Mingyun had already thrown away the spiritual items she had stolen and returned many of them.

But this did not deter them from their pursuit; they seemed determined to kill him before they would give up.

"Could it be that among the remaining spiritual items, there is an extremely precious treasure?"

But given the current situation, Mingyun felt that even if she returned the spiritual item, they wouldn't give up the pursuit.

This also included the anger that had accumulated in his heart during his escape, which made him unwilling to give up.

"I refuse to believe you can keep chasing me forever!" Mingyun gritted her teeth and flew towards a certain place in the chaos.

The Zhang family of Youfeng is indeed powerful, with not only Golden Immortals in charge but also more than a dozen Profound Immortals. However, they also have many rivals. Now that three of their Profound Immortals are not in the family, if they are discovered by outsiders, the Zhang family's interests may be damaged.

Therefore, he concluded that these people could not leave the Zhang family for too long. If he persisted for a while longer, they might leave on their own initiative.

But before that, Mingyun has to do everything she can to survive! Only then can she hold on until that time.

"Hmph! Stubborn to the end! Unyielding!" The three Xuanxian chasing him from behind saw him speed up and snorted disdainfully. Their speed suddenly increased, even faster than Mingyun's.

Mingyun guessed that there were precious treasures among the spiritual objects she had stolen, which was why they were pursuing her so relentlessly, but in reality, that wasn't the reason at all.

The real reason was to use his life, to make an example of him!
You should know that ever since Mingyun stole some spiritual items from the Zhang family's ancestral land in Youfeng, the Zhang family has become a laughing stock.

For top-tier forces like theirs, besides inheritance, their most important asset is their reputation.

However, a rogue cultivator who was a Xuanxian stole a large number of spiritual items from his own family's territory, which was an utter disgrace.

Therefore, they need to use his life and his head to wash away this shame!

This is the real reason why they have never given up on hunting down Mingyun.

Mingyun, who was frantically fleeing, was unaware of this. He still believed that as long as he abandoned all the spiritual objects, they would stop chasing him, so he felt that the situation had not yet reached its most critical point.

As the three immortals drew ever closer, and his speed began to decrease again due to his unhealed injuries, he realized that if things continued this way, he would be in danger.

So his resentment was suppressed by his desire to live, and he threw out all the spiritual items he had stolen.

After they put away the spiritual object, they did not stop there, but continued to approach Mingyun at a rapid pace.

"I have returned all the spiritual items to you, so why are you still chasing me?" He couldn't understand it and couldn't help but shout out the question that was on his mind.

"Humph!"

Zhang Daotong, the leader, sneered and said, "Fool! You still think we're here to retrieve those spiritual objects?"

"What we want is your head!"

Mingyun's expression changed drastically. Only then did he realize that with the Zhang family of Youfeng's resources, they were not lacking in those spiritual items, and they would not relentlessly pursue him for them.

The real reason they wouldn't give up was because he had made the Zhang family lose face!

If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have been misled by others and used the theft of the Zhang family's sacred objects to prove myself.

Looking back now, those who misled him were also ill-intentioned and had ulterior motives.

However, by then, it was too late for both realization and regret.

All he can do now is run away as much as possible and escape their pursuit.

Mingyun still held onto a sliver of hope: that unlike her, who had no ties to the family, they would eventually give up and return to their clan to guard it and prevent any unforeseen events from happening to it.

A surge of determination within him led him to risk swallowing a very special pill: the Ascension Pill.

The effect of this pill is to instantly restore oneself to a perfect state, even if one is seriously injured, one can recover in an instant!

However, the cost is also very high. After the effects of the medicine wear off, the injuries will flare up in a more severe manner, and in some cases, it may even lead to sudden death.

But right now, Mingyun can't care about any of that. His most important task is to get rid of Zhang Daotong and his two companions!

Then you have to figure out how to survive.

boom!
Instead of fleeing, he attacked the chaos, unleashing a massive storm. The hurricane swept through, carrying with it countless chaotic spiritual energies, and in a matter of moments, a terrifying chaotic storm formed.

This was not formed spontaneously from the void, but was created by humans. The enormous chaotic storm made the surrounding hundreds of miles extremely dangerous.

call--

Terrifying gusts of chaotic wind roared and howled, leaving nothing but emptiness in their wake.

Even though Zhang Daotong and the other two were all Xuanxian, they didn't dare to cross directly and could only watch Mingyun leave.

"Hmph! Did you think you could escape with such a petty trick?"

As he spoke, a compass appeared in Zhang Daotong's hand. The pointer kept spinning, as if searching for something, but it quickly stabilized and pointed straight in a certain direction.

This chaotic artifact is the reason why they were able to track Ming Yun in the void, and no matter what methods he used, he could not shake them off.

Only chaotic artifacts can fully exert their effects and abilities in the void filled with chaotic energy.

"His sudden and complete recovery just now must have been due to taking the Ascension Pill. It's impossible for him to maintain that state for long. Once the effects wear off, he's doomed!"

“That may be true, but we have been away from our family for quite some time now. If we don’t hurry back, something might really happen to our family,” another Xuanxian expressed his opinion.

Zhang Daotong pondered for a moment and said, "Let's continue the pursuit for a while longer. If he can escape alive under these circumstances, then let him live a little longer."

Although we can't use Mingyun's head as a warning to others, the family is more important than that.

Since the theft of a large number of spiritual items, the Zhang family has been targeted by many forces because this incident exposed very serious problems in them, so they all want to tear a big chunk out of the Zhang family!
Perhaps some forces have already been secretly probing, waiting for an answer before taking action.

……

the other side.

Mingyun appeared in a disheveled state amidst an unknown chaos. Recalling how far she had run, she muttered, "Should I be able to shake them off by now?"

Actually, he wasn't very confident about this. After all, he had tried everything he could to shake off their pursuit, so how could a chaotic storm make him safe?
So he didn't stop, but continued to fly in a certain direction, trying to escape as far as possible before the effects of the Ascension Pill wore off.

……

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

At this moment, Li Zhirui was walking in the void with Qing Si, continuing his training.

However, perhaps because the Chaos Beasts had recently undergone a Gu-refining process, resulting in heavy casualties, their chances of encountering other beasts had decreased significantly. During this period, they discovered one such beast.

Moreover, the opponent was quite powerful. After a fierce battle, Li Zhirui was no match for him and had no choice but to flee, thus escaping a calamity.

"Sigh! I didn't expect that training in the void would become so difficult." He sighed helplessly.

Qing Si, however, took it in stride and even comforted him, saying, "Ninth Brother, isn't this a normal trend? As your realm and cultivation level increase, the conditions for training also become more demanding and dangerous."

"yes……"

Therefore, the higher the level of cultivation, the more important comprehension and opportunity become, while methods such as training and combat become less and less effective.

But in the next instant, Li Zhirui crushed all these negative emotions to avoid affecting his state of mind.

He doesn't need to think about that now; those are things only Golden Immortals would consider.

Time slips away unnoticed.

Li Zhirui and Qing Si spent a peaceful journey through the void and chaos, during which they did not obtain many spiritual items.

However, he used this time to study the various methods he had learned from the immortal Mingyun he had encountered before, mainly to broaden his horizons and to see if there were any methods or techniques that he could use.

Li Zhirui gained quite a lot from this matter.

For example, he mastered the formula for an elixir of immortality, and it was initially the medicinal effects that attracted his attention.

The ability to suppress all injuries and fully recover one's condition in an instant is incredibly appealing.

After all, anyone might encounter a life-or-death crisis. If one were to take an Ascension Pill at such a time, they could certainly survive!
He could understand the negative effects.

As an alchemist, he naturally wanted to master this formula.

If the negative effects can be mitigated or even completely eliminated, then the value of the Ascension Pill is not too high!
Therefore, Li Zhirui spent some time theoretically mastering the method of refining the Ascension Pill.

Unfortunately, he had no magical artifacts at his disposal, and even a skilled cook cannot make a meal without ingredients; he had no way to try refining them even if he wanted to.

As for using other spiritual objects as substitutes? That is indeed a good idea, and he has considered it.

The problem is, he only knows the names of those spiritual objects, but he knows nothing about their medicinal effects or properties. How can he use other spiritual objects to replace them?
Therefore, we can only give up for now and try to collect those spiritual items when the opportunity arises in the future.

boom--

Suddenly, a terrifying explosion came from ahead, startling Li Zhirui from his thoughts.

Judging from the fluctuations in spiritual energy, it could not have been caused by just two Xuanxian, unless they were at the peak of Xuanxian.

"Ninth Brother, shall we go and take a look?" Qing Si was somewhat eager to go. His previous haul had made him very keen on taking advantage of the situation.

Li Zhirui considered it seriously for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, this battle looks serious, so it's better not to get involved."

"Alright." Even if Qing Si was unwilling, there was nothing he could do; he couldn't make the decision.

Then, the two flew off in another direction.

But some things, just because you avoid them doesn't mean you can truly escape them.

"Damn it!"

Li Zhirui, who was undergoing training in the chaos on the other side, suddenly sensed a ray of light flying from a distance, carrying a person, and getting closer and closer to them. He couldn't help but curse under his breath.

The thing he least wanted to happen happened; trouble came knocking on his door!
After he saw who was inside, he became even more furious.

He only made a deal with the other party, so how did he get involved again?
The one in that radiant light was none other than Mingyun, whom I had met once before!

In fact, when Li Zhirui first met him, he guessed that the injuries on his body were not caused by the Chaos Beast, but by a fellow cultivator.

Therefore, he was very likely to be hunted down again, which is why Li Zhirui chose to leave to avoid getting into trouble.

This method was very useful at first, but who would have thought that they would meet again later, and it brought huge trouble.

"Please, fellow Daoist, lend a helping hand and save my life." Ming Yun never expected to encounter Li Zhirui. After the initial surprise, she was overjoyed.

But then he thought about it again, and his expression froze, instantly becoming stiff. He was only at the early stage of the Profound Immortal realm, while Zhang Daotong and the others numbered three, and both their realm and cultivation were above his.

So even if you encounter this person, it doesn't mean you're safe; you might even implicate them.

However, at this point, with her life threatened, Mingyun couldn't care less about anything else.

"Go away!"

Li Zhirui pulled out a long stick and pointed it at Ming Yun, who was approaching. He didn't want to have much contact with him and preferred to drive him away directly.

"If you are willing to help me, I am willing to tell you the location of the Dao Spirit Realm!"

Standing outside the attack range, Mingyun spoke earnestly, her eyes filled with pleading, "The Dao Spirit Realm is a Great Thousand World of the Golden Immortal level, rich in cultivation resources and with complete Heavenly Dao Laws, making it very suitable for fellow Daoist to train."

Li Zhirui's heart stirred. If what he said was true, and the Dao Spirit Realm was indeed like this, then it was indeed a very good place for training.

only……

He hesitated for a moment because he already knew that there were three Xuanxian cultivators chasing Mingyun, and their realms and cultivation levels were all stronger than his.

He was no match for such a powerful lineup!

"Ninth Brother, the space..." Qing Si, who was standing to the side, saw that Li Zhirui was already tempted to save this person and wanted to learn the whereabouts of the Spirit Realm from him, so she whispered a reminder.

Yes!

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in Li Zhirui's mind, and he came up with a perfect solution.

"If you take this pill, I am confident I can save you."

As he spoke, he presented a pure white elixir to Mingyun.

This is not a healing or recovery elixir; it has only one effect: it will cause the person who takes it to fall into a prolonged coma!

As long as Mingyun takes the pill and falls into a deep coma, Li Zhirui can take him into the spatial dimension, thus saving his life.

At this moment, Zhang Daotong and his companions were less than a thousand miles away and would catch up in no time. (End of Chapter)
