Begin immortality by slaying demons.

Chapter 684 Going Home
Shenxu Mountain, Stone Palace.

The rich Dan Hua filled the entire dark hall, turning this place into a paradise on earth.

A total of seven portions of medicinal materials for Xu Yuan Bao Dan were transformed into flawless elixirs in the alchemy furnace, and each pill contained the complete power of ten disasters.

Although Ye Lan's attainments in alchemy are superficial, he grew up on the peak and is quite knowledgeable.

She had never seen an alchemist like Shen Yi. Whether it was the movements of refining the pill or the control of the temperature and the aura of heaven and earth, everything was perfect from beginning to end.

Those pills seemed to be replicas, with exactly the same quality and appearance, simply inhuman!
Even if Master were to come back to life, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve the same level as Shen Yi.

What made Ye Lan even more terrified was the expression on the young man's face.

This terrifyingly rich Dan Hua was unable to bring even a hint of joy to his calm expression, as if he had expected it.

"If...if I had met you earlier, how great it would have been."

Ye Lan's fingertips trembled slightly, and her emotions were inexplicably out of control.

If such a genius in alchemy could join Danfeng on my behalf, with the dedicated training of my master, he might have already become an extraordinary alchemy immortal.

When helping Patriarch Shenxu to survive the catastrophe, Master would not have led so many fellow disciples to forcibly refine the third-grade tribulation pill, which ultimately failed and led to the destruction of the sect.

"Sorry, I lost my temper a little."

Ye Lan took a few quick breaths and adjusted her mood: "Just leave the pills here, let's go."

"..."

Shen Yi stared silently at the seven Xu Yuan Bao Dan in front of him.

Including those refined during the previous battle with Liu Ruifeng, that is to say, every time the ancestor Shenxu wakes up, he has to consume hundreds of calamity forces in order to stabilize his realm.

It’s “stabilization” rather than “improvement”.

In other words, all this calamity power was wasted, which was equivalent to saying that every time he opened his eyes, Shenxu Mountain would have one less fifth-grade Taiyi Immortal.

Such a huge consumption can only be achieved by a behemoth like Shenxu Mountain, which must have exhausted its resources.

With such a great immortal gate, it supports only one person.

Even so, the old ancestor still couldn't eat enough.

In refining these pills, even though Shen Yi has made great progress, only three or four out of ten of the calamity power in the medicine can be retained, which still cost him more than forty calamities of his demon lifespan.

In this situation, the other party still wants to eat me.

Shen Yi could feel that the eyes on the bronze door had indeed disappeared, but the old ancestor was clearly staring at him, and his eyes had never left the Taixu Golden Pill in his body.

He now felt as if thousands of sharp swords were pressing against his body, and any slight movement other than refining the elixir could result in his death.

Under what circumstances would a gourmet let go of the delicacy right under his nose?

"what happened to you?"

Ye Lan, who was about to leave when he turned around, noticed something was wrong and looked back in confusion.

Shen Yi was seen standing with his hands hanging down. After the Danhua gradually dissipated, the hall returned to darkness. Against the backdrop of the fire, his fair face flickered, as if he was lost in thought.

After a while.

The young man slowly raised his hand, and under Ye Lan's astonished gaze, he pinched a Xuyuan Baodan and put it into his mouth blatantly.

Chewing carefully, the medicinal power dissolved between the lips and tongue, dissolved into the Taoist fruit of Cangmu Yinlun, and turned into a part of Taixu Golden Pill.

The cultivation level increases by ten kalpas!

"You..." A bit of panic appeared on Ye Lan's face. Ancestor Shenxu was not the kind of senior master in the normal understanding. He looked stern on the surface, but was actually gentle in heart, like a strict father... All these had nothing to do with the ancestor. He was just a very pure cultivator.

A monk whose heart is filled with the Great Dao and all external things are for the purpose of serving the Great Dao!

And what Shen Yi is doing now is undoubtedly dancing on the bottom line of Patriarch Shenxu, and he is afraid of not angering the other party.

At the moment when she was distracted, Shen Yi had already picked up the second Xu Yuan Bao Dan, followed by the third and the fourth.

Not until five pills were taken into the stomach did the bronze door finally roar.

The gray fog rolled in again, and this time even Ye Lan could see it. A pair of turbid eyes emerged from the fog, as if they had seen the whole world, and there was an inexplicable clarity in their stupidity.

The moment he was looked at by these eyes, Ye Lan felt cold all over. No matter how his heart was surging, his body could not move at all. Even the Taixu Dao Fruit in his body seemed to be frozen.

Shen Yi turned a blind eye, his arms stiff but stubborn as he reached for the next pill.

Finally, he swallowed the remaining two pills.

Ye Lan was struck by lightning when she saw this action. Based on her understanding of Shen Yi, she could not understand why such a cautious and ruthless monk who could survive under the hands of the Immortal Court would do such an irrational thing today.

However, those eyes were watching quietly, as if they wanted to see every subtle change in Shen Yi's body.

After an unknown amount of time, a hoarse voice that seemed to have come from time immemorial finally sounded in the hall.

Just one word, but it made Ye Lan's eyes suddenly widen.

"it is good."

It was neither anger nor praise, it seemed like just an objective evaluation.

Just like diners commenting on the ingredients.

Shen Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the ground, standing quietly.

The question he had been pondering while refining the elixir had just been answered.

Under what circumstances would a gourmet let go of the delicacy right under his nose?

Naturally, the fish was not fat yet, the fruit was not ripe, and the dish was only half cooked, so it was far from cooked.

Shen Yi swallowed these Xuyuan Baodan just to prove one thing, that is, Taixu Jindan is still far from perfection and there is still a lot of room for improvement. Eating it now is like forcing a melon, which can quench thirst for a while, but it is not sweet enough.

It's already so tempting now.

How fragrant and delicious will it be when the elixir is ready? !
The grey fog became more and more violent, and the eyes gradually became clearer. In an instant, golden threads of calamity force emerged from the fog, numbering forty-nine, weaving into obscure symbols.

The Taixu Golden Pill is connected to Shen Yi with invisible threads, which include his soul, limbs, five internal organs and six bowels.

There are sixteen places in total, which are sixteen golden talismans of calamity power. Each golden talisman contains forty-nine calamities, for a total of seven hundred and fourteen calamities!
At this moment, all these disasters were integrated into the Taixu Golden Pill, together with the seven Xuyuan Baodan that he had swallowed before.

Shen Yi's Taixu Golden Pill suddenly leaped to one thousand seven hundred and seventy-four tribulations, and his cultivation level almost doubled!
There was still no joy on his face.

This extra cultivation that appeared out of nowhere is a mark.

The so-called Taixu is like the vast ocean, and oneself is like a small boat.

A boat sailing on the sea with no shore to rely on will eventually sink. The Taixu Golden Pill is the anchor that can ensure Shen Yi can return to heaven and earth.

At this moment, this anchor point was grasped by the ancestor Shenxu.

Tianyan 49, there is nowhere to hide.

The old ancestor understood Shen Yi's meaning, so he made a mark on his body and continued to sleep. When the animal grew fat, he would pick it and eat it.

"This……"

Ye Lan had no idea what the two were thinking. In her eyes, Shen Yi had inexplicably swallowed the ancestor's tribute, but the ancestor was not angry. Instead, he used his own calamity power to help Shen Yi improve his cultivation.

Weird! Ridiculous!
However, the next sound directly shattered her cognition.

"I would like to accept this boy as my disciple and give him the name Tiandan. You must take good care of him and not let outsiders hurt him."

The hoarse voice shook like thunder, spreading out of Shenxu Mountain, passing through the eight peaks, and finally resounding through hundreds of small veins.

"..."

Taoist Jin Lei's expression changed slightly, and the other five peak masters were also stunned.

They all saw the Danhua that had gathered in the Shenxu Mountain earlier, and a few of them spoke out in praise, but even so, no one had expected that Shen Yi would actually gain the favor of his master with his attainments in alchemy.

He jumped directly from a third-generation disciple to a second-generation disciple, and was of the same generation as himself and the others.

"So, I have to call him Junior Brother from now on?" Taoist Jin Xue pulled the corner of his lips and whispered, "Lan'er, are you going to call him Uncle Master?"

"..."

Taoist Qianfeng frowned.

He focuses on different things from others. According to the inheritance of the immortal sect, the Taoist names of the second-generation disciples almost all have traces that can be traced.

For example, Hong Jing and Qing Mei of Yu Chi Xian Men are named after natural treasures. And Shen Yi's Shen Xu Shan, Jin Lei, Mu Yang, Jin Xue...are named after the weather of heaven and earth, so why does Shen Yi use Dan as his name?

Tiandan, what does it mean?
"..."

In the stone palace of Shenxu Mountain.

Shen Yi slowly raised his eyes and looked into the eyes on the bronze door. After a long moment, he smiled helplessly and sighed.

This was not a smile of relief after surviving a disaster, but one that contained a lot of emotion.

Tiandan, an elixir given by heaven.

So blatant, so undisguised.

The mark that the other party had previously cast was numbered forty-nine, which was equivalent to claiming to be the heaven and the great way!

This old ancestor Shenxu never thought about curbing his greed, nor did he worry about being discovered, because under the Great Dao, there is nowhere to escape.

It’s great to have strength…

"You need to live well."

The gray fog swept away, leaving only the old ancestor's instructions in the hall.

Shen Yi put away his smile and looked at the bronze door seriously: "Don't worry, I will."

After saying this, he turned and walked out of the stone hall.

Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, then came to her senses and hurriedly chased after the young man, following closely behind him: "Shen Yi, you..."

Although she witnessed this shocking scene with her own eyes, when she came to her senses, she quickly thought of many things.

Ye Lan is not a selfish person, and has never thought of imposing his hatred on others.

Even though she hated the ancestor Shenxu so much that one day she would draw her sword against him, she would not tie up Shen Yi and not allow him to accept the benefit just because the ancestor was good to Shen Yi, and would not force him to stand on the same side with her.

What she was worried about was that this so-called "good" was extremely dangerous!

"What should you call me?"

Shen Yi looked back with an indifferent expression.

"I……"

Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly noticed the other party's slightly raised eyebrows. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and punched Shen Yi's shoulder, saying angrily: "Uncle Master!"

It's already this late and you're still in the mood to joke.

As expected, he is the kind of person who can escape unscathed under the hands of the Immortal Court. This kind of character is truly incomparable to that of ordinary people.

But, I don't know why.

After this teasing, Ye Lan suddenly felt a little relieved.

"They come, the security."

Shen Yi smiled and looked away, his voice still clear.

This matter is certainly a headache, but he has experienced similar life-and-death crises more than once or twice.

There is no difference between the high and mighty Daluo Immortal and the group of Qi training demons who once chased him. They all want to take Shen's life.

The trouble this time is...

Shen Yi must constantly improve himself to prove that his "golden elixir" still has room for growth, but before he finds a way to save his life, he cannot really grow to the point where Ancestor Shenxu feels threatened.

Both of the above will make this old monster come out of seclusion and swallow the golden pill.

"I have some gold pills here."

Ye Lan bit her lip, walked over, and quietly stuffed a bunch of Royal Energy Gold Pills into Shen Yi's palm: "I don't know where to go for the time being, so it's useless to take them. You take them first for emergency."

As a titled general of the Demon Slaying Division, she has accumulated a considerable amount of savings over the years.

Although Ye Lan is only a Taiyi immortal and has just begun to glimpse the true meaning of heaven and earth, his eyes are not blind.

The signs of a great catastrophe imminent in the world are already very obvious.

And the young man in front of him, based on the things he had experienced recently, had obviously fallen into a doom.

Seeing this, Shen Yi was silent for a moment.

He glanced at the girl and whispered, "I won't return it."

"Uh."

Ye Lan was stunned for a moment, and her expression was somewhat similar to her sister's.

Although she had never intended to ask Shen Yi to pay back the debt, she was still a little overwhelmed when the other party said it so bluntly.

"If I have the chance in the future, I will try to kill someone to pay off your debt."

Shen Yi put the ten large pills into the ring, landed on Danfeng, and stepped into the alchemy workshop.

This simple sentence made Ye Lan confused and she stood there in a daze.

She doesn't have any enemies that need Shen Yi's help to kill.

If we really want to count that person as well... wouldn't the Thousand Tribulations Imperial Golden Pill be too cheap?
The two chatted for a while.

The peak masters have already stepped into Shenxu Mountain with doubts, to seek advice from the master.

They were all surprised at the appearance of a new peer, and had no time to pay attention to the Danhua flowers blooming one after another on the Danfeng Mountain.

Ever since Shen Yi entered the mountain, this flawless elixir seemed to have become mediocre.

In comparison, what Master did after waking up this time was even more puzzling.

As disciples of the Great Luo Immortal, they have a vague understanding of the current situation.

And what the master said, telling himself and others to take good care of Shen Yi, could it be that he wanted to use the name of the Heavenly Pill to represent Shenxu Mountain and fight the great catastrophe? !

……

[Remaining demon lifespan: 432 calamities]

The demon life earned by Qinghua was also a considerable income. The remaining golden pills, plus the ones given by Ye Lan, together amounted to a total of 1,200 kalpas.

Shen Yi seized the time and, with the help of Danfeng's background, began to digest these gains.

As time passes slowly.

The loss is about 30%.

Use all your strength to add another 1,100 calamity power to this Taixu Golden Pill.

A total of more than two thousand nine hundred has already caught up with the great level of subduing dragons and taming tigers!
"call."

Shen Yi walked out of the alchemy workshop slowly, and Ye Lan was waiting quietly outside.

"You look a little off?"

Ye Lan was just about to congratulate Shen Yi on his progress in cultivation, but upon closer inspection, she discovered that her "uncle master" was able to keep his emotions expressionless even when facing the old ancestor Shenxu.

At this moment, that fair and handsome face was filled with coldness.

"I want to go back."

Shen Yi looked into the distance towards the sky, but it was not in the direction of Jianyang Prefecture.

Over in Baji Valley, Qinghua hadn't sent Yaoshou for a long time, but instead sent a message.

It was the thing that had been bothering him.

This is also the reason why Shen Yi hides his identity and dares not reveal his origins.

"Go back? Where?"

Ye Lan followed the young man's gaze and looked into the distance, but she was quite unfamiliar with that direction.

Shen Yi stepped into nothingness, leaving behind only two crisp words.

"Hongze."
