My cultivation is too warm

Facing the gazes cast by Xu Mo and the others, Ye Qingyue lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed.

According to the spirit of the secret realm, what I did did seem to have gone too far, but there was a premise: that the spirit of the secret realm's account of the experience was complete.

It's quite obvious that the spirit of the secret realm has avoided the important points and omitted some crucial details.

She never intended to send those burly men with heavy makeup to punish the spirits of the secret realm.

Although she initially thought the spirit of the secret realm was sarcastic, she didn't actually intend to do anything to him. After all, he was just a pill-refining furnace. No matter how sarcastic he was, as long as he could focus on refining pills for Wuyou Peak and bring a continuous stream of benefits to Wuyou Peak, that was enough.

Therefore, she did nothing at first; the spirit of the secret realm simply assigned her the task of alchemy and had some disciples watch over her.

The disciples, both male and female, were watching over and serving the spirit of the secret realm.

After all, this is an automatic alchemy furnace that can refine pills without stopping. As the financial manager of Wuyou Peak, who was able to hold her own against the former Sanyuan Saint Lord during negotiations and who made the Sanyuan Saint Lord unable to let go for a long time, how could she not understand the importance of the alchemy furnace of the Secret Realm Spirit to Wuyou Peak?
Therefore, how could she possibly do anything to the spirit of the secret realm when faced with such a precious treasure?
They're too busy feeding him the best food and drinks to keep up with him.

The key issue is that the Spirit of the Mystic Realm has an incredibly foul and offensive mouth.

He angered several groups of Wuyou Peak disciples who were serving him, causing them to leave.

Not only that, but many of his disciples were so badly affected by his foul mouth that they developed inner demons.

Because of this, Ye Qingyue had warned the spirit of the secret realm several times, and the spirit always agreed politely when faced with her warnings.

However, in the blink of an eye, he angered the disciple who was serving him and drove him away.

For this reason, Ye Qingyue had secretly eavesdropped on how foul-mouthed the spirit of the secret realm was.

After all, as a manager, she first needed to figure out whether the spirit of the secret realm was really too foul-mouthed, or whether the disciples of her own Worry-Free Peak had too weak a will.

When she heard those "filthy" words uttered by the spirit of the secret realm, she became absolutely certain that the disciples of her Worry-Free Peak had strong mental fortitude and were without any faults.

That spirit of the secret realm not only harassed the female disciples of Wuyou Peak, but also attacked the male disciples. No wonder many people almost developed inner demons; the spirit of the secret realm is just too despicable.

Faced with this situation, Ye Qingyue became furious. Without hesitation, she moved the spirit of the secret realm from a luxurious alchemy room specially built for him to a stone cave. And every time he finished refining pills, she arranged for some burly men to take the pills in heavily made-up poses, all to punish that guy, the spirit of the secret realm.

Isn't the Spirit of the Secret Realm known for his sharp tongue? Since he enjoys teasing others so much, I'll let him experience what it's like to be teased.

Faced with Ye Qingyue's complete explanation, Xu Mo and the others immediately widened their eyes and stared intently at the spirit of the secret realm.

Faced with the gazes of the crowd, the spirit of the secret realm revealed a guilty expression on its illusory face.

However, he still stubbornly defended himself, saying, "Well, kid Xu, you know, I've been locked up in the Shennong Secret Realm by that guy Shennong Yandi for so long. I've been in this desolate secret realm for endless and long years, and I haven't been able to find anyone to talk to. I'm feeling really stifled."

"Now that I've finally managed to get out, I naturally want to chat with others as much as possible."

Hearing the spirit of the secret realm's sophistry, Xu Mo was speechless for a moment, then said in an annoyed tone, "So you flirted with the disciples of our Worry-Free Peak?"

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the secret realm became somewhat excited and said, "What do you mean by teasing them? I did this to temper their will."

He then said shamelessly, "As the alchemy furnace of Shennong Yandi, I am surely their senior. As a senior, seeing the younger generation of this era, I can't help but want to help them go further on the path of cultivation."

"I'm doing this for their own good. Am I wrong to want to help them?"

Having witnessed firsthand how the spirit of the secret realm used "filthy" language to harass the disciples of Wuyou Peak, causing them to collapse and walk into the alchemy room with pale faces, and almost driving them to develop inner demons, Ye Qingyue clenched her fists upon hearing the spirit's sophistry, trying hard to suppress the urge to hit it.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such a shameless person—well, a pill-refining furnace.

So she bluntly said, "What you call helping them is actually causing them to have a mental breakdown, almost causing them to develop inner demons and never recover?"

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the secret realm immediately explained, "That's because their mental fortitude is too weak. In my time, before fighting the enemy, we always had to have a verbal battle first. I'm just worried that they'll suffer when they have a verbal battle with the enemy in the future."

"Ah this..."

Upon hearing this, not only Ye Qingyue, but also Liang Huanhuan, Wang Er, and Ou Fenjin, who were watching from the sidelines, were stunned.

To be honest, the spirit of the secret realm really opened their eyes. It was the first time they had ever seen a spirit of the secret realm able to defend itself without changing its expression in the face of such a situation.

Not only that, the other party also intends to turn their mistakes into achievements, portraying themselves as a senior who disregards their image in order to mentor younger generations.

How dare he?
Everyone admires the shamelessness of the Spirit of the Secret Realm; he is truly shameless!

However, Liang Huanhuan and the others couldn't stand by and watch this happen.

Liang Huanhuan clenched her little fists and hopped over to the spirit of the secret realm. She said in a very serious tone, "Senior Pill Furnace, Huanhuan thinks that if you're wrong, you're wrong, and you should admit it. What you're doing is wrong."

The spirit of the secret realm's eyes lit up when it saw Liang Huanhuan. At that moment, Xu Mo quickly stepped in front of Liang Huanhuan, blocking the spirit's view, and warned with a serious expression, "This is my wife."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the secret realm immediately looked distraught.

He then muttered under his breath, "That wretched Xu brat, why is he so wary of me? I wouldn't do anything to your wife, and he's not even my type." He then glanced at Ye Qingyue beside him, and said somewhat shyly, "I still prefer someone like Fairy Ye. Although she's ruthless towards me, she's truly stunning. Her figure, her aura, and the way she can switch so naturally between gentleness and aloofness—it's simply irresistible..."

Xu Mo's lips twitched when he heard this. He then slapped the alchemy furnace and said irritably, "That's my senior sister. Please show some respect. If you continue like this, I'll bury you in the latrine."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the secret realm shuddered and hurriedly said, "I was just joking, don't get excited. I only have respect for Fairy Ye and absolutely no other thoughts."

To avoid spending the rest of his life in a latrine, he quickly flattered, "Well, it's really nice to see you all today. But as an alchemy furnace, my job is to refine pills. Now that I'm out here, I should naturally contribute my skills."

He then conjured a pair of hands and waved to Xu Mo and the others, saying, "Hurry, hurry, I can't wait to contribute my strength to Wuyou Peak. Hurry up, bring out any pills that I need to refine. I feel uncomfortable if I don't refine pills for a moment now."

Xu Mo's suggestion of burying the latrine directly hit the spirit of the secret realm where it hurt. In order to dispel Xu Mo's idea as soon as possible, he felt that he should leave this place quickly to prevent the other party from actually doing so.

Therefore, the best way is to refine pills. Although the spirit of the secret realm is a pill-refining furnace, he doesn't actually like refining pills at all. His most longed-for life is to face a group of lively and cheerful fairies every day, tell them jokes, and let them wipe his furnace body.

However, for now, he could only say against his will that he wanted to refine pills.

After hearing the spirit of the secret realm's words, Xu Mo and Wang Er stared at him eagerly, their voices trembling with excitement as they asked, "You can also refine pills?"

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, the spirit of the secret realm gave him a strange look, then said irritably, "Isn't that obvious? As the alchemy furnace, am I supposed to refine you instead of alchemy?"

He felt that Xu Mo was doing it on purpose, that the other party wanted to bury him in a pit, it was really too much. He only glanced at Liang Huanhuan, didn't do anything, and was still dressed. Did Liang Huanhuan not allow anyone else to see her?

Doesn't Xu, the one who tricked him out of his life, know whether he can refine pills or not? He felt a little resentful. Xu had gone to great lengths to trick him out, but in the blink of an eye, he turned his back on him and tried to bury him in a latrine.

Thinking of this, the spirit of the secret realm sighed inwardly: "That Shennong Yandi fellow entrusted the wrong person with his legacy. It's truly tragic that he let such a person inherit his legacy."

Xu Mo was naturally unaware of the inner thoughts of the spirit of the secret realm. He was simply excited by the spirit's words. If the spirit of the secret realm could also refine pills, did that mean it could also cultivate? At the very least, it could refine longevity pills, right?
Actually, he had always had a worry in his heart: now that he was with Liang Huanhuan, he naturally didn't want to be separated from her.

But now that she can't cultivate, Liang Huanhuan's lifespan is destined to be just a short mortal life. So, is it inevitable that I will have to part ways with her then?

Xu Mo was naturally unwilling to do so, but he had not yet been able to find a way to prolong his life.

If there were a spirit of a secret realm, wouldn't it be possible to refine longevity pills?
Xu Moyue was very excited, but his excitement suddenly froze halfway through.

He remembered that everything related to the path and methods of cultivation no longer existed, which naturally included all spiritual energy, spiritual power, and spiritual objects in the world.

If there are no spiritual objects, how can one refine pills?

He then looked at the spirit of the secret realm, shook his head with a bitter expression, and said, "Senior, you may not know this, but all the cultivation paths and methods in the world no longer exist. The ancient world has now entered the Dharma-ending Age. Without spiritual energy and spiritual objects, how could you possibly still refine pills?"

As he spoke, he suddenly stared at the spirit of the secret realm for a moment, his expression revealing his curiosity, and said, "In fact, I'm quite curious as to why you, senior, are still able to exist after entering the Dharma-ending Age?"

As he spoke, recalling the spirit of the secret realm's previous attitude, he quickly added, "I'm not cursing you, senior, but all the magical artifacts and treasures have disappeared with the end of the Dharma era, yet you are still alive and well, which is truly unbelievable."

Upon hearing Xu Mo's words, the spirit of the secret realm exclaimed in shock, "What did you say? The End of Dharma Era? What's going on? Young Xu, explain this to me properly."

Xu Mo did not hide anything from this, and recounted how the Canggu World destroyed its own cultivation path and methods, and how it sacrificed itself to perish together with the mastermind behind the manipulation of the alien alliance into the Canggu Realm.

After listening to Xu Mo's story, the spirit of the secret realm sighed with shock, "Tragic, it's really too tragic. I never thought that the younger generation would do such a thing. I don't know how to describe my feelings."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

After a moment, the spirit of the secret realm spoke again: "However, this should not have any impact on me. I can still continue refining pills."

"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Xu Mo and the others exclaimed in surprise, staring at the spirit of the secret realm with somewhat eager expressions.

"Is what you say true, senior?" Ye Qingyue stepped forward excitedly, no longer caring about the spirit of the secret realm's sharp tongue.

When the spirit of the secret realm saw that the one asking the question was Ye Qingyue, whom it had been longing for, the face it conjured immediately showed an arrogant expression, and it said in a smug tone, "Of course."

As he spoke, he revealed a fawning smile and said to Ye Qingyue, "I would never lie to Fairy Ye, hehehe."

Faced with the incredulous expressions of the crowd, the spirit of the secret realm coughed and explained:

"What I'm saying is true. After all, when Shennong Yandi created me, the path of cultivation didn't even exist in this world."

"My role back then wasn't to refine elixirs or magic pills, but to help the people in the tribe prepare various herbs and make them into medicines."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mo immediately said excitedly, "Since there was no path to cultivation back then, how were you created, senior? This is clearly unreasonable, isn't it? No matter how you look at it, you are the creation of the path and methods of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, the spirit of the secret realm rolled its eyes at Xu Mo and said irritably, "How would I know? I was created by Shennong Yandi, not by myself. Besides, no one can create themselves, can they?"

"Young Xu, the question you asked is flawed. If you want to know how I was created, you should ask Shennong Yandi. What's the use of asking me?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Xu Mo and said in a light tone, "By the way, Xu boy, aren't you a descendant of Shennong Yandi? You should know how he created me."
