Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 653 Who gave her the confidence (5K4)

Ye Lan looked at the desk next to her.

Although she was always busy with the stove, she actually knew how many portions of medicinal materials she had prepared and how many she had used.

And now, apart from those she had consumed, only one portion of these herbs was missing.

This means that Shen Yi picked up the thin book, casually flipped through the recipe a few times, and was able to refine such a flawless pill for the first time.

This is not something that can be accomplished with just a little knowledge.

The quality of the elixir used for the seventh-grade True Immortal is not considered high in the Fifth Peak, otherwise it would not be recorded in the introductory chapter.

But the problem is that Shen Yi is not a disciple of Danfeng, and has not practiced the precious inheritance left by his master and others, so he cannot be judged by the standards here.

This bottle of medicine alone is enough to earn the reputation of being an excellent alchemy talent!
At this moment, Ye Lan saw Shen Yi reaching out for the second thin book, which was the second volume of the Four Symbols Pill Book.

Somehow, her usually calm mood suddenly became flustered.

"No."

Ye Lan instinctively reached out and pressed the back of Shen Yi's hand. Under the other party's puzzled gaze, she bit her lip and finally shook her head: "If you are interested, I will help you copy it out when I have the chance after returning. Don't learn it in the mountains."

She certainly didn't want such an amazing talent in alchemy to be wasted.

But now is not the right time!

The fact that he accepted disciples on behalf of his master would easily cause misunderstanding among the people of the Sixth Peak, making them think that he was coming back to seize power.

If the junior brother she accepted happened to be good at alchemy, then even if she was willing to explain, she would be unable to defend herself and others would not believe her.

Ye Lan was still the peak master in name, and he also had the fifth-grade cultivation base, so he was not afraid of the villains doing bad things in secret.

But Shen Yi is different. Not to mention whether the Dragon-Tiger Dao Fruit can protect the other party, if it is exposed, a Bodhi sect arhat will have to become a disciple of the Shenxu ancestor. This matter will be unclear.

Thinking of the worst case scenario, all those uncles and aunts have a few acquaintances in the Bodhi Sect. If they find out a little, they will spread Shen Yi's affairs to the Bodhi Sect, which will backfire and bring disaster!
You know, each peak has a corresponding supply of resources, and these things are abundant enough to support an entire lineage.

Money can tempt people, and it is not so easy for those people to give it up.

"..."

Shen Yi looked calm as he stared into the eyes of the girl in front of him. At such a close distance, the worry in the other person's eyes was clearly visible.

After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

Although Ye Lan has always said that he does not want to fight or rob, but if that is true, why did he open these two introductory volumes when he knew that he did not have the talent for alchemy?

Even if he didn't care about the resources for cultivation or the mountain, he still cared about the small courtyard on the mountain and the statue of the ancestor enshrined in the courtyard.

If that's the case, why bother pretending to be carefree?

The two had the same goal. The other wanted to guard the courtyard, while Shen Yi wanted the Taixu Dao Fruit.

To achieve this goal, there is actually only one condition.

That is to make Patriarch Ye Lan the real Patriarch and Peak Master, rather than an empty shell.

During this trip to Shenxu Mountain, the thing Shen Yi feared most was the disaster that Ye Lan had mentioned.

But after witnessing the current situation of the Fifth Peak with his own eyes, he already had a rough guess.

All the peaks are prosperous, only Dan Peak is withered.

What on earth is going on that requires a group of alchemists to take the lead while the rest of the disciples remain unharmed?

If it was an external enemy, wouldn't a dignified Daluo Immortal dare to take revenge?

There are only two possible outcomes: either the enemy has been eliminated, or that person cannot even afford to offend the Daluo Immortal.

But if it was the latter, how could there be a statue of Ye Lan's ancestor left on Danfeng, and why would Ye Lan dare to travel the world.

It doesn't look like these eight peaks are united in their hatred of the enemy.

When all these factors come together, the answer is actually very obvious.

Compared with external enemies, it is more likely to be an internal disaster.

"See what you're afraid of."

Shen Yi broke free from Ye Lan's hand, picked up the thin book casually, turned around and left the alchemy workshop.

"..."

Ye Lan stared at the young man's back as he left, lost in thought.

A young monk who was able to fight his way out of a remote area and gain recognition from the Earth God, Meng Xiuwen and others, who was efficient and decisive in his work and could bear huge troubles without batting an eyelid.

People like this are certainly not fools.

He must have known what this meant, but he still took the book of alchemy so nonchalantly.

Ever since his master's sect experienced that incident and was nearly wiped out, Ye Lan hasn't experienced this kind of... feeling of having someone standing by his side for a long time.

Yes, what are you afraid of?

It was Shenxu who owed the Fifth Peak, not the Fifth Peak that betrayed Shenxu!
Even if he doesn't fight for the position of Peak Master, the alchemy books in the Dharma Storage Pavilion were all left by his master and fellow disciples. Shen Yi is his fellow apprentice, so why can't he read them!

"Why shouldn't I use it?"

Ye Lan suddenly clenched his hands, glanced back at the medicine shelves, waved his hand in anger, put all the rare materials and treasures on them into the storage magic weapon, and then walked out of the alchemy workshop.

The two of them left the alchemy workshop one after another.

And those disciples on duty who seemed to be dozing off a moment ago, immediately gathered together, took out jade slips and began to communicate.

Soon, the young man who was in the Danfeng courtyard came over quickly.

"Uncle Liu!"

The disciples on duty were guarding the alchemy workshop that the two had just used, and welcomed the young man in.

"She makes pills?"

"Send someone to ask our Patriarch Ye what kind of elixir she needs. Send her whatever it is and get rid of this plague god as soon as possible. It's annoying just to watch."

Liu Ruifeng sneered. If Mr. Ye had this ability, the Fifth Peak would not have to be managed by his father.

Oh no.

If Ye Lan knew how to make pills, she would have probably died together with her unfortunate master, which would have saved her a lot of trouble.

"Disciple obeys your command." Several disciples on duty bowed.

Now the entire Fifth Peak is under the management of Uncle Ruifeng. To be honest, he is the real master of Danfeng.

If his realm had not been stuck at the sixth-grade celestial realm, and he had not yet been able to reap the fruit of the Tao, Patriarch Mu Yang would have put this matter on the agenda long ago.

Everyone rushed into the alchemy workshop.

After seeing the pitch-black alchemy furnace, even these ordinary disciples couldn't help laughing.

"Ah."

Liu Ruifeng rubbed his fingers on the edge of the stove, looked at the black ash on his fingertips, contempt appeared in his eyes, and the worry in his heart finally faded a little.

With this kind of ability, anyone with any shame should not return to the Fifth Peak and embarrass himself.

"okay……"

Liu Ruifeng waved his hand and was about to ask them to leave, but out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of another alchemy furnace.

He frowned, walked slowly closer, and looked inside.

The furnace was so clean that it looked like it had never been used, and there was not even a trace of medicinal mist residue in the furnace. But when Liu Ruifeng saw the little spiritual mist remaining in it, his eyelids suddenly twitched twice.

He sniffed the faint scent of the elixir carefully, and the next moment, his whole face turned dark.

Being able to refine a seventh-grade elixir to this level... he has bad intentions.

That bitch really came back with evil intentions.

You want to rely on an alchemist to do something, Mr. Ye, you’re dreaming!

"Go, keep an eye on that new young man and report everything to me, no matter how big or small!"

Liu Ruifeng gritted his teeth in anger, turned quickly and rushed towards the Sixth Peak.

Dad must be informed of this matter immediately!

……

Shenxu Mountain, Danfeng.

Inside the Tibetan Dharma Pavilion.

A group of disciples seemed to be flipping through a book on alchemy, but in fact their eyes all fell on the figure in the corner.

A handsome young man in black clothes stood against the wall, turning the pages of the book quickly with his slender fingers. Every time he finished reading a book, he would close his eyes and meditate for a long time.

His expression changed slightly.

When he opens his eyes, he will go back to the bookshelf and take out another alchemy book.

"What are you doing?"

Several disciples on duty looked at each other in bewilderment. Although Uncle Liu had said that all matters, big or small, should be reported, they really couldn't understand the situation in front of them.

This new "uncle master" didn't seem to be practicing alchemy normally at all. Those obscure books on alchemy that condensed the essence of the predecessors would be replaced before they could even last a quarter of an hour in his hands.

You might say this person is just flipping through the pages for fun, but the way he looks like he's in deep thought makes him look serious.

"Maybe he's looking for something."

Some disciples suddenly realized that the Fifth Peak was after all the sect where Patriarch Ye Lan once was. Perhaps there were some precious elixir recipes left behind that only Patriarch Ye Lan knew.

This person pretended to be like this in order to conceal his true purpose.

Thinking of this, the disciple tiptoed over and collected all the alchemy books that Shen Yi had previously flipped through, intending to take them back to report to Uncle Liu.

However, as time went by, he finally discovered something was wrong. The man's actions of flipping through the books were completely undisclosed. He just took the books one by one. If he really followed him to collect... he might as well just move the Dharma Pavilion to the Sixth Peak.

"Mystifying." The disciple on duty gritted his teeth in hatred and left four words on the booklet.

"..."

Somewhere in the Dharma Repository, two people stood side by side.

One was the third peak master who was called Uncle Qianfeng, and the other was the beautiful woman mentioned earlier.

The two of them just stood in the Dharma Repository like this, but they seemed to be silent and would not be noticed by others at all.

"Junior Sister Jinxue, what do you think she wants to do by coming back this time?"

Taoist Qianfeng silently looked at the young man in black shirt, but his mind was not on him.

"I don't know. I just know that if this guy keeps turning over, Junior Brother Mu Yang will definitely get restless."

Taoist Jin Xue smiled helplessly. This young man's cultivation level was only that of a True Immortal. His every move was most likely under the instructions of Ye Lan.

This kind of behavior is more of a provocation than practicing the Dao of Alchemy.

This is where she was confused.

What's the meaning of Lan'er provoking Junior Brother Mu Yang? Could it be that her cultivation has improved and she wants to provoke Mu Yang to take action, so that they can compete in magic instead of alchemy?
Let’s not talk about whether Junior Brother Mu Yang, who has been in charge of the two peaks for many years, would be susceptible to such a superficial provocation.

The gap between ordinary Dao Fruit and great Dao Fruit is not so easy to bridge.

Unless Lan'er has already realized the Taixu Sword Fruit and reached the fourth level, she will have the capital to fight against Junior Brother Mu Yang.

"No matter what, Danfeng must continue to operate normally."

"Master, you can't miss even one of the Tribulation Pills you want."

Taoist Qianfeng let out a light breath. Among the eight peaks, only Dan Peak could not have any problems.

If something really went wrong, the ones who would be in trouble would be his disciples who inherited the Taixu Dao Fruit.

Shenxu, Shenxu, the most terrifying thing is the word "xu".

It can represent the mind wandering in the void and asking questions about the great truth, or it can turn into sinking into delusion and being unable to transcend.

The next moment, Taoist Qianfeng took out a jade slip and raised his eyebrows: "Tsk, the Eight Peaks are discussing matters, they really can't sit still."

After the words were spoken, the two looked at each other and their figures slowly disappeared from the spot.

"..."

At the same time, Shen Yi, who was in the corner, finally raised his eyes and glanced at the empty space.

He didn't care about the trivial things in Shenxu Mountain, he only wanted the Taixu Dao Fruit.

It’s just refining the elixir, how difficult can it be?

[Remaining demon lifespan: two calamities]

Shen Yi retracted his gaze, looked at the remaining demon life on the panel, and couldn't help rubbing his brows.

Tsk, that's so difficult...

After mastering the introductory chapter of the Four Symbols Alchemy Book, the ancient books in the Dharma Pavilion were finally no longer incomprehensible scriptures.

But although he could understand it, it was really difficult for Shen Yi to master all the books in this room.

In the face of these obscure things, what he said about knowing a little bit really became a reality.

But the good thing is that I learned a lot of miscellaneous pill recipes.

Putting aside other things, as long as there are enough natural treasures, at least it should be no problem to help King Donglong rebuild his physical body, and maybe he can even break through to become a true immortal.

As for the case with Senior Xuan Qing, it was a bit difficult. After all, one drop of blood was needed to be reborn, but the opponent had nothing left but a wooden body.

"More."

In desperation, he could only urge Qinghua to speed up the progress.

……

The top of the highest mountain except Shenxu Mountain.

It is no longer a shabby courtyard like Danfeng, but a magnificent palace.

There were only eight chairs in the slightly dim hall.

At this moment, there was a figure sitting on each chair.

Among them there was a young and pretty girl who looked too immature and somewhat out of tune with the others.

Apart from his appearance, the aura lingering around him was also the worst among the eight.

But leaving aside the topic of alchemy, even if the disciples disliked this girl, they would not dare to underestimate her in terms of realm and strength.

Being able to be among these seven ancestors as a third-generation disciple already explains everything.

If she hadn't picked the Dao Fruit, let alone being the disciple of Danfeng Patriarch, even if she was his biological daughter, she wouldn't be able to sit in this position.

"Mu Yang, everyone is here. You can speak now if you want to say anything."

In the main seat, an old man whose face had already shown signs of decay and whose life or death was difficult to tell, slowly opened his eyes.

Don’t be fooled by his appearance. The moment he opened his eyes, almost everyone felt a strong pressure coming.

"..."

Hearing this, a middle-aged man with a long beard, regular features and a hint of elegance slowly raised his eyes and cast his gaze towards the girl opposite him.

"Brother, Mu Yang just wanted to remind us of the friendship among the eight peaks and didn't want to make things too ugly."

“Therefore, I have called you all here today, and we will sit together, close the door, and ask some questions.”

Hearing this, the other peak masters all turned their eyes away, too lazy to get involved in this mess.

"I want to ask."

Taoist Mu Yang slowly stood up, and looked down at the girl instead of looking directly at her: "Since you left, why did you come back? You caused panic among the people and spread rumors everywhere. Do you want all the disciples to talk and laugh behind your back? The ancestors are not in harmony, like wild dogs fighting for food, and let Shenxu Mountain lose face?"

His voice became deeper and more severe: "Is this what you are looking for?"

Under such questioning, Ye Lan fell into deep thought. After a moment, she raised her head slightly and asked, "What rumor?"

Hearing this, Taoist Mu Yang's face turned cold: "You are playing dumb. In just two days, the eight peaks, including the third generation disciples, are talking about you coming back to take charge of the fifth peak again."

"Do you dare to say that this was not intentional?"

Ye Lan listened quietly, his voice still calm: "Re-control? So I have been expelled from Shenxu Mountain."

"You..." Taoist Mu Yang was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Don't be so sharp-tongued. It was you who didn't have the ability to manage Danfeng in the first place, so don't blame others."

As soon as these words were spoken, the other peak masters slowly looked towards Ye Lan.

Taoist Jin Xue, who was closest to her, patted her shoulder gently and said, "Lan'er, you know the importance of Danfeng."

"so……"

Ye Lan finally stood up, his eyes level with Mu Yang's: "What have I done? I don't know how to make pills, so I can't even go back to the sect. I don't know how to make pills, so the courtyard left by the master belongs to someone else. I don't know how to make pills..."

"Even the statue of my master must be replaced with that of your Uncle Mu Yang."

"So, can you make an elixir?"

Ye Lan's voice was calm, as if he was just asking a normal question, until the last sentence, which made Taoist Mu Yang's lips twitch twice.

She quietly took a step and walked into the hall, getting closer to Mu Yang: "When that happened, was there anyone who considered my feelings and comforted me? Did they leave me time to recruit disciples and revive Danfeng?"

"No, you guys want to close the mountain gate immediately and hide the scandal at home."

Before he finished speaking, the half-dead old man's eyes suddenly became fierce: "Shut up!"

"Ho."

Ye Lan stepped forward and came within a few feet of Mu Yang. "You don't know how to make pills either, but I can do what you did... In just three days, you sent people to take control of the entire Danfeng. All of my fellow disciples died. I don't even have the right to grieve for three days."

"..."

Taoist Mu Yang forced himself to look away, looking at the old man on the main seat, and sneered, "Lan'er is really getting cocky now, she doesn't even listen to you, Senior Brother."

"I really don't know how to make pills, but my son Ruifeng is the only one in the entire Fifth Peak who can make pills."

"I would like to ask, he took on the responsibility of the Peak Master, but let the person in front of him enjoy the title of Peak Master, and now he wants to take back the authority of the Peak Master, is this fair?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the other peak masters fell silent at the same time.

Ye Lan closed his eyes and exhaled softly: "You are wrong, I don't want those things, I only wanted that yard and the statue of my master. He is the founder of Danfeng. His life's work has turned into thousands of volumes of Dan books in the Tibetan Dharma Pavilion. It is not too much to enjoy the worship of his disciples."

Upon hearing this, Taoist Mu Yang's face suddenly lit up with joy.

He never thought that this young man would actually give in. Does this mean he intends to completely give up the position of Peak Master?
But soon, he realized something was wrong again: "Before? So what do you mean now? I can agree to most of the conditions you just mentioned. No one else will touch the yard. The statue of your ancestor can stay in the yard, but disciples are not allowed to worship it. Shenxu Mountain can no longer remember your master. You should be sensible at this age. Do you know..."

"..."

Ye Lan shook her head and interrupted the other party.

She smiled for the first time since she entered the hall. "I just want to remind you of one thing."

"What's the matter?" Taoist Mu Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"I want to say that the rumor you mentioned earlier is not a rumor, it is true."

Ye Lan put away his smile, finished speaking word by word, and swept his eyes quietly over everyone present. Then, without any lingering thoughts, he walked straight out of the hall.

If it is not a rumor, then he really wants to take back the power of the peak master and take control of the fifth peak again!
Everyone stared at her leaving back, and their faces suddenly became strange.

At that time, when facing Junior Brother Mu Yang's actions, Ye Lan was like a naive child and could only leave Shenxu Mountain sadly.

How come she is so confident now that she comes back? Who gave her the confidence?
