Cultivating Immortality Begins with Rejuvenation.

Chapter 300 Rushing to Escape
The lifespan of the Jade Elixir Immortal has come to an end!

The moment Li Ji'an received Guo Wanzhi's message, his eyes narrowed.

His second-tier medical skills allow him to sense lifespan, and he can confirm that Jade Pill Immortal has about twenty more years to live.

He immediately headed towards the Eastern Li Zongdan Peak.

Upon arriving outside the temporary alchemy room of Master Yudan, a group of people were already handling the situation.

Most of the sounds were of people shaking their heads and sighing.

"Junior brother!" Guo Wanzhi's eyes reddened, and she looked completely listless.

"Senior sister, what happened? Master was fine a month ago, how could he suddenly..." Li Ji'an asked in a deep voice.

Overwhelmed with grief, Guo Wanzhi could not hold back her tears and they streamed down her face: "I have been in seclusion refining pills recently, and I was suddenly summoned by the fellow Daoists of the Dongli Sect. When I arrived, my master had already passed away."

"Ping An, Wan Zhi, please accept my condolences!"

"The Dongli Sect Master has already examined him. The Peak Master passed away peacefully at the age of 18. Perhaps his long years of alchemy had taken a toll on his mental energy!" A Biyun Sect alchemist came over to offer his condolences.

Li Ji'an nodded slightly, and then walked into the alchemy room with Guo Wanzhi.

Inside the alchemy room, several fake alchemists were still conducting a thorough investigation.

"No trace of other people's magical power was observed, nor was there any evidence of a magical battle."

"No abnormalities were found on Fellow Daoist Yu Dan."

"It should be within two hours."

"Farewell, Fellow Daoist Yu Dan."

……

Several investigations yielded consistent results, ruling out the possibility of infiltration and sabotage by the demonic forces.

Li Ji'an came before Master Yudan and slowly knelt down.

Feeling the old man's lifeless body, he bowed respectfully.

In his previous life, Master Yudan did indeed teach him a great deal about alchemy.

Moreover, after he achieved the formation of his elixir, he accidentally discovered the wonders of alchemy and devoted his life to its study and practice, making him a respected alchemist.

"Grandmaster." Guo Wanzhi gently buried her face in Yu Dan Zhenren's lap and burst into tears.

When no one was looking, Li Ji'an took a drop of Yu Dan Zhenren's essence blood.

Afterwards, he overheard the account from the Alliance's pill-collecting boy who discovered the death of Jade Pill Master.

Finally, Guo Wanzhi, representing the Dan Ding Peak of the Biyun Sect, collected the body of the Jade Elixir Immortal, awaiting its return to the sect for burial after the great battle.

That night, Li Ji'an returned to his temporary cave dwelling. On the surface, he appeared to have recovered his cultivation, but in reality, he activated the essence and blood of the Jade Elixir True Man using the Formless Mask.

"Fortunately, it's still there." Seeing the deep, dark cloud within the Mask of No Form with his divine sense, Li Ji'an felt slightly relieved.

I thought that Master Yudan had passed away and his soul had been scattered, but it turns out that a trace of him remained.

Without further delay, his consciousness merged with the remnant soul of True Man Yu Dan.

Because it was only a remnant soul, much of its memory was missing.

Furthermore, the soul absorbed by the Mask of No Form is fragmented, so it was easy to find the fragments of the last period of memory.

“It’s him!” A moment later, fragments of memories from four days ago flooded into Li Ji’an’s mind.

In the story, Li Ji'an saw the young man who suddenly appeared in the alchemy room from the perspective of Jade Elixir Master.

It was none other than Master Chun Yuan.

"Judging from the timeline, the old thief returned here after dealing with the demonic cultivators' raid!" Li Ji'an was taken aback.

……

"This junior greets Senior Pill King!" Jade Pill Master, who was concentrating on refining pills, immediately bowed to the suddenly appearing Pure Yuan Venerable.

"No need for formalities. I heard the other day that you have refined an ancient soul pill?" Master Chun Yuan asked in a gentle tone.

"Reporting to Senior Pill King, that is indeed the case." True Person Jade Pill admitted with a hint of pride, and immediately took out a newly refined Six Gods Condensing Yuan Pill.

Pure Yuan Zhenren was slightly surprised. He gave Jade Pill Zhenren a careful look, and then used his magic power to roll up the Soul Pill with a wary expression.

"It truly is a superior soul pill!" After carefully sensing it, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Jade Pill True Person with considerable surprise.

"It's been several years since we last met. Your skills in alchemy have improved once again. Congratulations!"

Overjoyed to receive praise from the Pill King, Jade Pill Master said, "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Pill King."

"May I borrow the formula for the pill to take a look?" Master Chun Yuan asked tentatively again.

Master Yu Dan was clearly taken aback.

However, the next moment, he still handed over the cobbled-together Six Gods Condensing Essence Pill formula as instructed.

"Good, good, the pill formula from the heyday of ancient soul cultivation is indeed extraordinary."

After pondering the formula with skepticism for a while, Master Chun Yuan was pleasantly surprised to find that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Young friend, you have done a great service! With this formula, our spiritual senses will surely reach a new level."

"My lifespan is nearing its end. If I can leave this formula in the world, I can consider my merits complete." Master Yudan was quite frank about this.

"Oh?" Master Chun Yuan looked at Master Yu Dan with surprise once again.

"I wonder if you, young friend, could pass this recipe on to your disciples?"

Master Yudan shook his head: "I have only just figured it out myself. I successfully tested it a month ago and am still constantly optimizing it. I have not yet passed it on to my disciples."

"Excellent!" Master Chun Yuan was overjoyed.

At the same time, Jade Elixir Master has been imprisoned by a powerful magical force.

"Senior Pill King, you..." Jade Pill True Person's expression changed drastically. Pure Yuan Venerable didn't waste any words, and a light green pill rushed into Jade Pill True Person's mouth.

Immediately, Master Yudan felt his life force rapidly draining away, and his already aged body became even more decrepit.

"Search Soul!" The next moment, Master Chun Yuan grabbed Jade Pill True Person's head with one hand.

Master Yudan felt a tremor in his sea of ​​consciousness, followed by a blurring of consciousness. All his past experiences involuntarily surfaced, flashing by rapidly like a slideshow.

Then he was completely plunged into endless darkness and lost consciousness...

After reading the memory fragments, Li Ji'an's face was ashen.

Master Yudan was wholeheartedly dedicated to contributing to the cultivation of alchemy, while Master Chunyuan was filled with selfish motives.

One was unknown and devoted to alchemy, while the other was revered by the world, selfish and greedy, and even concocted elixirs to try to reverse aging.

The difference is obvious when comparing the two!
"You old scoundrel Chun Yuan, I will surely kill you in this lifetime!" Having confirmed the truth behind the death of Master Yu Dan, Li Ji'an set his sights on this goal.

Three months later, the front lines were urging for the elixirs more and more urgently.

The guards needed to escort them almost every seven or eight days.

Meanwhile, morale on the front lines was already low.

In just four months of battles, Wuyayu has maintained its peak strength, with the two teams alternating in an orderly manner.

In contrast, the three alliances were all exhausted.

Moreover, the more Wuya Domain progressed, the less it engaged in direct combat with the three-sect alliance. Instead, it systematically wore them down. Even when it was clear that the three-sect alliance was weakening and that a forceful attack could have caused their defeat, it continued to harass them without actually attacking.

Although the casualties in this war were minor, it was actually a slow and insidious process, and the defeat was inevitable!

Meanwhile, the fact that the Myriad Laws True Monarch has yet to appear has sent a chill through everyone in the Heavenly Azure Domain.

They realized that, perhaps, as the rumors said, the True Lord had already perished in the Blackwater Swamp!
"Li Ping'an, you will lead the team to escort this batch of pills tomorrow. Make sure they reach the fellow cultivators at the front!" On this day, Li Ji'an received another message and rushed to the guard team's main hall, where a young cultivator gave the order.

Previously, Master Zhang, who had led the team, had temporarily gone to the rear to collect medicinal materials for alchemy, and now the leader of the guard team was the young man in front of them.

This person is the one that Master Chun Yuan was impersonating before.

He is a true disciple of Wanfa Palace and a relative of Wanfa Zhenjun and Chunyuan Shangren.

Legend has it that the contemporary True Lord of All Laws has high hopes for him.

His bone age is ten years younger than Li Ji'an's, but his magical power is already the same as Li Ji'an's. Moreover, since the cultivation method he cultivates is likely to reach the Heaven level, his magical power is more profound and pure than Li Ji'an's.

“Senior Brother Sima, my cultivation is shallow. If I were to encounter a demonic cultivator, I’m afraid…” Li Ji’an frowned, revealing extreme insecurity.

The contemporary Wanfa Zhenjun and the Chunyuan Shangren both have the surname Sima.

Moreover, the Sima family now holds a dominant position in the Wanfa Palace.

Unlike sects like the Azure Cloud Sect, the True Lord of the Myriad Laws Palace is the true ruler, able to act without regard to the opinions of others.

This has led to the proliferation of factions within the Wanfa Palace, and each generation of Wanfa Zhenjun's lineage is bound to be a leader of their time, sharing abundant spiritual resources with Wanfa Zhenjun.

Upon hearing this, Sima Yu frowned slightly, then reassured him, "Junior Brother Li, there's no need to worry. With my clan leader's skill before, how dare the demonic cultivators use the same method again? Go ahead and do it."

Li Ji'an nodded slightly and had no choice but to agree.

He wasn't really worried about demonic cultivators raiding again. After all, the demonic cultivators had completely taken the lead and even wanted to see the three sects' allied forces completely wiped out, so there was really no need to send people to raid spiritual resources again.

What he was worried about was Sima Yu escaping without a trace!

From his current perspective, the chances of Tiancang Domain winning this battle are virtually nonexistent.

However, since the true lineage of the Wanfa Palace still exists, he also has some expectations.

Even if all else fails, it's not too late for him to run away with these true disciples.

Before leaving, Li Ji'an risked leaving a mark on him with the "Thousand Machine Blood Seal".

Upon seeing the escort team, Li Ji'an was struck by another surprise: they were all true disciples of the three sects, with not a single disciple of the Myriad Laws Palace.

"Are they going to run away?"

He instantly perked up, and the Thousand Machine Blood Guide continued to sense.

Sure enough, the next day, Sima Yu was sensed leaving the Dongli Sect and flying off in the northwest direction.

Li Ji'an forcibly suppressed the urge to turn around and leave, and accelerated the transport of medicinal supplies to the front line.

The next day, Li Ji'an delivered the medicine and supplies.

At the same time, a rapid message was sent to Xiao Changfeng, Xiao Qiao, and Yan Qingwan.

He fabricated a secret that he had overheard that the True Lord of Ten Thousand Laws no longer existed here, and then told him about Sima Yu's escape.

In fact, by now, the news of Wanfa Zhenjun's death has been widely accepted as fact, and most people know that they have no backup.

They were even more desperate about this battle.

However, the world is vast, and there are all kinds of people. There is no shortage of selfish and self-serving people like Master Chun Yuan, nor is there a shortage of selfless and altruistic people.

At least the few True Core cultivators of Wanfa Palace, as well as most of the high-ranking members of the three sects, are still unwilling to give up.

Many sect disciples were prepared to die rather than allow the demonic cultivators to slaughter them.

Most of them were taught by their sects from a young age and focused on cultivation. They had little contact with worldly affairs, and their understanding of righteousness and demonic nature came from their sects. They were convinced that if demonic cultivators occupied the Tiancang Domain, all cultivators in the domain would be harmed by the demonic cultivators.

"Ping An, go! Leave this region and do everything you can to get to the Myriad Merchants Region!" To Li Ji'an's surprise, Xiao Changfeng and the other two told him to escape immediately after receiving his message!
Li Ji'an said no more and quickly returned to the Dongli Sect.

Upon returning, he was informed that the disciples of Wanfa Palace had gone north to escort a batch of supplies to provide aid, which would take some time. Therefore, Li Ji'an would be temporarily in charge of this area.

Li Ji'an immediately used the excuse of receiving a secret order from the front lines to resign from the matter and handed it over to a chief disciple of the Dongli Sect.

He then went straight to Danfeng and summoned Guo Wanzhi, who was in seclusion refining elixirs.
