Inside the Bodhi Seed Space.

A figure sat cross-legged, cultivating. Beside him, a golden core floated, emanating golden energy that was being absorbed by the figure, making his aura even more profound.

"I never expected that the power of the world within the Bodhi Seed Space would have such an effect."

"I am the master of the Bodhi Seed Space. I cultivate and comprehend within the Bodhi Seed, and the power of the world within it actually helps me comprehend the meaning of the immortality of gold."

"At the current pace, I can complete this step of enlightenment before breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm."

"Therefore, when I break through to the Yuan Dan realm, it will be 100% certain that I will condense the Golden Core in one fell swoop, and there will be absolutely no other accidents!"

"I wonder if other people who possess minor worlds are the same?"

Shi Yi awoke from his reverie of the Heavenly Fire Golden Elixir, a look of joy in his eyes.

The current situation was actually outside of Shi Yi's original expectations.

Of course, this is also a good thing for him, since others who want to do this don't have this opportunity.

It can only be said that he doesn't know enough about the Lesser Thousand Worlds, and there's not much he can do about it, since there are very few records about the Lesser Thousand Worlds within the Taiyi Sect.

Those who can create a miniature world all possess extremely profound Taoist cultivation, making them difficult for ordinary people to come into contact with.

Shi Yi's previous understanding of the immortal golden nature of the Heavenly Fire Golden Elixir was merely a deepening of his comprehension; he was not entirely confident that he could fully comprehend it before breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm.

Firstly, the time is too short. Those who have the opportunity to break through to a higher realm will not spend too much time in one realm. After all, a person's lifespan is limited, and it is impossible to remain stagnant forever.

Secondly, very few people can comprehend the meaning of the immortality of gold before breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage.

Shi Yi did not find any relevant records among the books stored in the Chuan Gong Pavilion.

Those who can successfully condense a golden core when breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm also completed this breakthrough during the process of breaking through to the Yuan Dan realm.

This is because it is the normal process of the birth of the Yuan Dan True Meaning, which is why it is called the Yuan Dan True Meaning.

Shi Yi's current situation is that he is about to skip this step directly, which is a great surprise for him.

If other peak-level cultivators knew that Shi Yi could condense a golden core with 100% success rate, they would probably all want to take his place.

Even those with strong Taoist cultivation who knew about this wanted to capture Shi Yi and interrogate him to extract the relevant secrets.

After all, this is a secret that can strengthen the power of sects, families, and other organizations.

The fact that sects and families can produce a large number of descendants who can directly condense the Golden Core indicates a bright future for them.

Those who can directly condense a golden core are generally able to go further on the path of cultivation.

The possibility of condensing the Dharma image and breaking through the state of forgetfulness is also very high, which can guarantee a certain lower limit.

"Based on my current progress of comprehension, I estimate that I will be able to complete the condensation of the Golden Immortal Intent in at most half a month, which is about the same time as my original plan to try to break through to the Yuan Dan stage."

"In that case, everything will proceed as planned."

Shi Yi has a timeline for breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage.

He did his best to complete this step before the Blue Star College Entrance Examination, and he even left himself some time to allow for mistakes, so that even if he failed in the process of breaking through to the Yuan Dan stage, he would have a second chance.

In his current situation, he can ignore the possibility of failing to break through to the Yuan Dan realm, and even the possibility of condensing a nascent or solid core will not occur.

The only result was the condensation of a golden elixir.

This way, it won't affect his previous plans, which is even better for him!
Giving him more time to prepare is also a good thing for him.

"As for cultivating Daoist arts, I'll consider that after I break through to the Yuan Dan stage."

"For now, let's continue to comprehend the immortal golden essence within the Heavenly Fire Golden Core!"

Shi Yi composed himself and stopped thinking about other things.

His mind cleared, and he entered a state of deep enlightenment, while the power of the world within the Bodhi Seed Space operated automatically, aiding his cultivation.

Golden rays of light from the Heavenly Fire Golden Core flowed into his body, aiding his cultivation, while the aura emanating from the Heavenly Fire Golden Core remained unchanged.

After the Heavenly Fire Golden Pill was condensed, the aura contained within it gave it an immortal and indestructible quality, making it difficult to dissipate. It would not be affected by Shi Yi's comprehension and absorption of a portion of it.

On the contrary, within the Bodhi Seed Space, it will slowly recover to its peak state.

Shi Yi only realized this after confirming it.

Outside Beiyuan Prefecture City.

Inside an abandoned temple.

Since the decline of Daputuo Temple, Buddhism has been targeted by various forces, and most of the temples in the Great Zhou Dynasty have been demolished.

Some prime locations were used to build restaurants and inns, while those in remote and worthless locations were abandoned long ago after no one lived there.

This is how it is here.

Located in a remote and sparsely populated area, even beggars would not want to come to such a place.

After all, to beg for food, you need to be in a place with people, but here, it's practically a godforsaken place.

Zeng Jun is dead!

"The sect's higher-ups have already noticed the strongholds you left behind, and they're all probably going to be gone."

Inside the abandoned temple, a figure in black appeared, stopped before the dust-covered lotus throne, and spoke slowly.

His words were devoid of any emotion, as if he were talking about something completely unrelated.

"Zeng Jun was a good pawn, and it's a real pity that he's dead now."

"So you specifically asked me to come here just to talk about this?"

From underground, a figure slowly emerged, stretched, revealing an alluring figure, and then hovered in mid-air, looking at the other party with a half-smile.

The man glanced lazily at the man in black, saying it was a pity, but his face showed an expression of complete indifference.

Zeng Jun's life or death seems to be of no concern to this man.

"This matter is not over yet. The Taiyi Sect is still investigating my whereabouts."

"Although I haven't met Zeng Jun in person before, I've already shown some signs. The higher-ups in the sect should have noticed this. If I continue to stay in the Taiyi Sect, I'll definitely be exposed."

"So I'm leaving the Taiyi Sect!"

Seeing this, the man in black spoke in a calm tone.

He wasn't surprised by the other person's attitude, or rather, he already knew how the other person treated people like them.

And so it was with him.

Zeng Jun's incident served as a wake-up call for him, making him realize that he could no longer wait within the sect, otherwise the outcome of Zeng Jun's trial would be his fate as well.

Some things, once done, are done. Even if someone tries to clean up the mess, they may still find clues.

It's just a matter of time.

Those who believe they will not be found will pay the price with their lives.

"so what?"

The person floating in the air asked, still looking completely unconcerned.

It seems as if they don't care about this issue at all.

"I'm reminding you that it's time to give me what you promised!"

The man in black said in a deep voice.

His eyes turned cold, and a powerful aura emanated from him.

The man in black specifically sought out the other party, not out of kindness to tell him about his intention to leave the Taiyi Sect, but to obtain benefits.

"Didn't I already give you the Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Elixir?"

"Isn't the vibrant life force within you right now the best proof?"

The suspended figure chuckled and said, "Cooperation between the two sides, each getting what they need, is perfectly reasonable."

"I also want a Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Longevity Pill, and the Myriad Spirits Exorcising Evil Pill that you mentioned."

"Only by expelling the evil energy from my body can my Taoist cultivation advance further."

"Don't tell me you don't want to give it to me anymore?"

The Black man's face was grim, and his voice rose considerably.

He knew that the Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Longevity Pill was a longevity pill made with evil magic, faith, and human lives. It had the effect of prolonging life, but it also had many negative effects.

The Wanling Exorcising Pill can solve these problems.

The two complement each other to fully exert their medicinal effects and increase their value.

He agreed to cooperate with the other party knowing these things, which is why he did so.

Otherwise, he wouldn't agree to the Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Elixir.

"Then you need to provide more valuable information. The information you've provided so far isn't valuable enough!"

"So, what other valuable intelligence do you have?"

The person floating in the air said with a faint smile.

The person's movements appeared casual, but her words were very serious.

Only information of sufficient value is worth exchanging.

"The Protector Elders have discovered your connection with the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance and are looking for an opportunity to expose you. Once you do, they will definitely uproot you completely."

"I even suspect that it's not just the Taiyi Sect; other forces are also planning to make a move, and may have even joined forces!"

"The emergence of the Xuan Niao Merchant Alliance has blocked too many people's path to wealth!"

"Your actions before were far too ostentatious!"

After a moment's thought, the man in black spoke slowly.

This intelligence was highly confidential, but given his status, he was still qualified to access it.

He was pondering, and that meant pondering the value of these secrets.

"I have another list here, which is of the most promising disciples who have emerged in the Taiyi Sect in recent years."

"Some people have shown their talent, while others are extremely low-key; these are the kinds of information you wanted before."

The man in black then took out several more sheets of paper, on which a lot of information was written.

The information about each person is very detailed.

Upon hearing this, the levitating man's thoughts stirred slightly, and a piece of paper from the man in black flew to his eyes. As for the remaining pieces of paper, he held them tightly and did not move them.

"It was a pleasure working with you, and I hope we can continue to work together in the future."

"These are the Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Elixir and the Myriad Spirits Exorcising Elixir. I hope you can use them to ascend to the rank of immortal."

After the suspended person finished the inspection, he chuckled softly.

With a slight thought, two medicine bottles flew out and hovered in front of the man in black.

Upon seeing this, the man in black reached out and took the medicine bottle. He then immediately began to examine the bottle. After confirming that the pills were correct, he allowed the other party to take the remaining few sheets of paper.

The other party had wanted these things before, but he had never given them to him. However, now that things had come to this point, and he was planning to leave the Taiyi Sect, he naturally didn't care about these things anymore!
Some intelligence, as long as it is useful to him, can be exchanged for valuable items.

"Thank you for your blessing."

"But I hope we never see each other again!"

"After meeting you, I've been living in a state of constant anxiety."

After the man in black finished speaking, he left.

Now that he had the item, he naturally didn't want to delay any longer. Next, he needed to prepare to leave the Taiyi Sect.

Time is extremely precious to him now.

The person floating in the air watched the man in black leave without saying a word.

"Holy Maiden, are we just going to let him take the things away like that?"

"Should we not let him leave behind more things?"

At this moment, another Yin spirit floated out from underground.

This person had been hiding in an underground formation that concealed the Yin spirit, and had not shown himself until now.

I thought she was going to make a move, but the Holy Maiden let her leave without any intention of intervening.

"It's just two pills, just give them to me."

"As long as there are enough disaster victims and enough faith, we can refine as many of these pills as we want."

"I, the Holy Maiden, am a person of my word."

The Yin spirit that appeared at the beginning spoke nonchalantly.

"The Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Longevity Pill: the first pill is the most effective, the second pill has half the effect, but the effect of vengeful spirits and evil energy is doubled."

"One Wanling Exorcising Pill is not enough to remove all evil spirits."

"I wonder whether he took the Myriad Manifestations Rejuvenating Longevity Pill first, or the Myriad Spirits Exorcising Evil Pill first?"

The spirit continued speaking.

His tone was tinged with mockery, as if he were watching a good show.

Because from beginning to end, she held the reins of autonomy.

"Old fellows whose lifespan is about to end are the most greedy."

“Holy Maiden, I bet he took the Myriad Spring Rejuvenation Longevity Pill first, then the Myriad Spirits Evil Exorcising Pill, hoping to remove the evil energy from his body in one fell swoop and obtain all the benefits.”

The second Yin spirit that appeared thought for a moment and replied seriously.

Human nature is complex, but it has commonalities, and greed is especially so.

Greedy people only want more.

And that's exactly what they wanted to see.

"I guess so."

“He will definitely come looking for me again then.”

"The Taiyi Sect has too many good things; what we have now is not enough."

The first Yin spirit to appear nodded, looked at the information on the paper, and said with a smile.

She wouldn't stop the other party from leaving Taiyi Sect unscathed, but she had other means to restrict them.

From the moment the other party made their first deal with her, received the Myriad Manifestations Rejuvenation Elixir from her, and took it to prolong their life, this path was destined!
Unless the other party truly doesn't want to live anymore and doesn't want to pursue the path of immortality and freedom, then there's nothing she can do.

But if the other party doesn't act that way, they will do as she wants, and their humanity will gradually disappear, eventually turning them into her tool.

The fact that the other party directly offered two pills was within her expectations, so she readily gave them back after receiving them.

However, while she was being generous, she naturally required the other party to pay a small price.

When the time is right, she will naturally see the other person.

If the other party is captured by the higher-ups of the Taiyi Sect beforehand, then she can simply abandon them; the loss to her would be minimal.

Because the value the other party had previously demonstrated was enough to compensate for the effort she had expended!
