This is a cultivation game, but the operation is bad

quickly.

Jiang Liu and his two companions arrived near the Dan Ding Peak map, but dared not approach it too closely.

Given their skill level, they would be easily detected if they got too close.

However, even without getting close, they could clearly see the spectacular scenery on Dan Ding Peak.

The commotion from refining the elixir was so great that it could be clearly seen for hundreds of miles around.

Above Danding Peak, the summit of the towering peak is as flat as a whetstone.

A massive cauldron, carved from millennia-old warm jade, stands in the center. Its body is covered with intricate cinnabar patterns, and the flowing cinnabar energy soars into the sky, merging with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to form a five-colored pillar of energy. Within the pillar of energy, the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes swirl, clearly a sign that the elixir is about to be refined.

Beside the alchemy cauldron, an elderly Daoist alchemist with white hair sat cross-legged, gently waving a cinnabar fan. With each wave, the golden natal cinnabar fire beneath the cauldron would rise three feet high.

Around Dan Ding Peak, disciples in blue Daoist robes took turns guarding the mountain's great formation. Outside the formation, elders in the Tribulation Transcending stage patrolled back and forth. The one in charge of protecting the pills was an early-stage Mahayana cultivator in a purple Daoist robe beside the Dao Dan Elder.

"It's quite a large operation, but the person in charge is indeed in the early stage of Mahayana. The information from the Taiye City players is accurate."

Ye Longying frowned, clicked her tongue, turned to look at Jiang Liu and General Yang, and asked, "What do we do now? Force our way in or wait until the pill is finished and then take advantage of the chaos?"

General Yang frowned and said in a deep voice, "There's no need to force our way in. Let's wait until the pill is finished."

"Ah."

Jiang Liu nodded in agreement: "Who knows how long it will take for this NPC to refine pills? What if the pills aren't ready when we force our way in? Wouldn't that be a waste of our time?"

"Then just wait."

Ye Longying also temporarily suppressed her restless heart.

Time passed second by second, and the alchemical energy at the top of Dan Ding Peak grew stronger and stronger, while the phantom images of dragons and phoenixes became clearer and clearer.

The old man Daodan's face showed a hint of fatigue, but also an undisguised excitement.

He held a cinnabar fan and fanned it faster and faster, causing the golden flames beneath the cauldron to grow ever stronger.

"The Nine-Turn Limit-Breaking Immortal Pill is finally about to be completed!"

The old man Daodan murmured to himself, his voice filled with excitement.

He has been refining this batch of elixirs for three months, consuming countless rare and precious materials, and even using the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's immortal cauldron—the Thousand-Year Warm Jade Cauldron.

This batch of elixirs can not only break through cultivation bottlenecks, but also improve cultivation aptitude, making it of paramount importance to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

at last.

The cauldron emitted a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, and its lid slowly opened.

A dazzling light shot out from the cauldron, and nine nine-turn purple-gold immortal pills, each the size of a dragon's eye, floated in the air. The pill patterns flowed, and a rich fragrance of pills wafted in the wind, making the spiritual energy of heaven and earth incredibly dense wherever they passed.

"Nine pills have been formed!"

The old man was overjoyed and stood up, ready to reach for the pill.

Just then, a sudden change occurred!
Suddenly, a black demonic mist rose from the swamp on the west side of Dan Ding Peak, soaring into the sky and colliding with the pill energy of the cauldron, producing a loud bang.

Within the demonic mist, three thousand demonic cultivators surged forth like a tidal wave, rushing towards Dan Ding Peak.

"The Blackwater Demon Lord is here! Disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, prepare to die!"

The Blackwater Demon Lord's hoarse, broken voice echoed throughout the entire Dan Ding Peak. He held a black demonic sword, its blade shimmering with green light, and charged ahead of the mountain-protecting formation.

Upon hearing the name of the Blackwater Demon Lord, the people of Dan Ding Peak were instantly terrified.

For centuries, the Blackwater Demon Lord wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, and was condemned by Heaven and Earth. He was driven out of the Central Plains by the Taiyi Immortal Alliance and fled overseas. Unexpectedly, he has returned today!
"Oh no, it's the Blackwater Demon Lord from the overseas demonic path!"

The purple-robed cultivator guarding the pill changed his expression drastically and shouted, "Activate the mountain-protecting formation and prepare for battle!"

He turned around and shouted urgently to the old man Daodan, "Daodan, quickly put away the pill!"

The old man gripped his pill fan tightly and said in a deep voice, "Yuanhe, protecting the formation is of utmost importance. The pill cauldron must not be lost. If necessary, we can use the reserve spiritual energy of the formation's core!"

The disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance dared not delay and immediately activated their spiritual energy, causing the nine-layered mountain-protecting array to light up simultaneously, forming a solid barrier.

However, the Blackwater Demon Lord's cultivation had reached the late stage of Mahayana. He held the demon sword and slashed at the barrier, causing it to tremble violently and develop a crack.

"Break it for me!"

The Blackwater Demon Lord roared and slashed down with his sword again.

The cracks grew larger and larger, and in the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered.

The highest-ranking member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance present was only at the early stage of the Mahayana realm, so how could they possibly withstand the Blackwater Demon Lord, who was at the late stage of the Mahayana realm?

The demonic cultivators moved in as if they were in an empty field, rushing into Dan Ding Peak and wielding demonic weapons to frantically slaughter the disciples of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance.

Although the disciples fought back with all their might, their cultivation level was too low, and they were no match for the demonic cultivators.

In a short while, the top of Dan Ding Peak was covered in blood.

The old man Daodan trembled with rage at the sight before him.

He held a pill fan, fanning it to unleash golden pill fire, which burned towards the demonic cultivators. The pill fire was extremely hot; once the demonic cultivators were burned, they would turn to ashes.

Unfortunately, there were too many demonic cultivators, and the alchemical fire was simply unable to stop their advance.

"Blackwater Demon Lord, how dare you run wild on the territory of my Taiyi Immortal Alliance? Do you really think my Taiyi Immortal Alliance is without anyone?"

"Old Man Daodan shouted angrily."

The Blackwater Demon Lord sneered and charged towards the Dao Dan Elder with his demonic sword in hand: "Dao Dan Elder, you're just an alchemist, how dare you be so insolent in front of me? If you know what's good for you, hand over the Nine-Turn Limit-Breaking Immortal Pill, or I'll make sure you die a horrible death!"

Dao Dan Elder dared not be negligent and engaged the Black Water Demon Lord in battle, wielding his alchemy fan. Although his alchemy skills were formidable, his combat prowess was indeed inferior to that of the Black Water Demon Lord.

After several rounds, he was at a disadvantage and suffered several injuries.

Seeing that the Dao Dan Elder was no match, the Yuanhe cultivator guarding the pill immediately led several Tribulation Transcending stage elders to rush forward.

However, their cultivation levels were too low, and they were no match for the Blackwater Demon Lord. The Blackwater Demon Lord killed them one by one with his sword, and blood flowed like a river!
"Hahahaha!"

As the Blackwater Demon Lord slaughtered the cultivators of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, he roared with laughter, "A century of shame, I will avenge today!"

at the same time.

Not far from Dan Ding Peak, Jiang Liu and his two companions were completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of the demonic cultivators, exchanging bewildered glances.

Unexpectedly, besides them, there were others who also had their eyes on the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's elixir.

Your Taiyi Immortal Alliance's alchemy is so widely known throughout the world, right? Even the overseas demonic sects know about it.

"It's our turn to make a move."

Ye Longying said impatiently, "If we don't act now, the elixir will be snatched away by the demonic NPCs."

Just as General Yang was about to nod, Jiang Liu suddenly had another idea.

He looked at the two of them and said, "Actually, those who know about the elixir understand its value. It may not be very useful. I personally think we can adapt to the situation and change the plan to help our own NPC in order to gain the NPC's trust and unlock other game storylines."

The elixirs in the Immortal Cultivation Era are both useful and useless; it's really better to just gain the trust of NPCs.

He is already a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. If he helps the Taiyi Immortal Alliance guard the immortal pills, he may be able to obtain more information from the Taiyi Immortal Alliance in the future.

With intelligence, wouldn't we be able to rob whatever we want?
"Help your own NPC?"

Ye Longying raised an eyebrow, instantly understanding, and said, "You mean, you and General Yang are helping the Dao Dan Elder of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, while I'm helping the Black Water Demon Lord of the overseas demonic path?"

"You two have the trust of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, while I have the trust of overseas demonic NPCs?"

“Exactly.” Jiang Liu nodded and said, “I am a director of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance. By helping Dao Dan Elder defeat the demonic cultivators, I can gain the complete trust of the core of the Immortal Alliance. In the future, I may be able to access the core intelligence of the Immortal Alliance. By helping the Blackwater Demon Lord, you can deepen the collusion between Taiye City and the demonic NPCs, and you can also gain benefits from the demonic cultivators.”

"This is much better than the three of us fighting over the pill. Not only would we risk losing it, but we would also offend the Taiyi Immortal Alliance and the Demonic Path at the same time, which would be a losing proposition."

After listening to this, General Yang pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "This plan is feasible."

Ye Longying pursed her lips, a cold smile curling at the corner of her mouth: "Interesting. Anyway, I'm not exactly a righteous player, so I don't feel guilty about helping the demonic path. So, I'll do as you say."

"But since we're all on our own, don't hold back when you make your move, or you'll give yourself away."

"rest assured."

Jiang Liu chuckled: "I'm the best actor."

The three exchanged a glance, a knowing look flashing in their eyes.

Although they have formed a temporary alliance, they are ultimately divided into righteous and demonic players. This division of labor is in their own best interests and can also prevent the three from turning against each other.

Watching the disciples and elders of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance fall one by one, Dao Dan Elder felt as if his heart was being torn apart.

He knew that if no one came to help him today, this batch of Nine-Turn Limit-Breaking Immortal Pills would fall into the hands of the Blackwater Demon Lord.

Just then, a thunderclap boomed in the sky!
Players make their dazzling debut!

"You wicked demon, cease your insolence! Jiang Liu, a council member of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, is here!"

As soon as the voice fell, a stream of light shot out from the cave and rushed towards the top of Dan Ding Peak.

Amidst the flowing light, Jiang Liu, with the Taiyi Immortal Alliance council token hanging at his waist and the Righteous Qi Sword in his hand, stood beside the Dao Dan Elder with an aura of righteousness.

"Jiang Liu?"

The old man Dao Dan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed and said, "Director Jiang, you've come at the perfect time! Quickly help me defeat this early-stage Demonic Path Fusion cultivator!"

When the old man Daodan saw that a council member had come from afar, he couldn't help but show a look of joy. But when he saw Jiang Liu's cultivation level, he immediately felt despair again.

Blackwater Demon Lord: Late Mahayana stage.

Jiang Liu: Initial stage of fusion.

Are you here to provide support or to get yourself killed?

Jiang Liu didn't care what Elder Guan Dan was thinking. Without saying a word, he grabbed his immortal sword and charged towards the Black Water Demon Lord.

"Blackwater Demon Lord, how dare you steal pills on the territory of my Taiyi Immortal Alliance? Do you really think my Taiyi Immortal Alliance is easy to bully?"

The Blackwater Demon Lord hadn't expected such a surprise attack. He glanced at the council token on Jiang Liu's waist, then at Jiang Liu's cultivation level, and couldn't help but sneer: "A mere Nascent Soul council member dares to be so insolent in front of me?"

He raised his hand and pointed, ready to kill Jiang Liu instantly.

"The Tenth Heaven of the Soaring Clouds!"

Jiang Liu immediately launched his attack!
"You've got some skill."

Sensing the sharp sword energy, the Blackwater Demon Lord frowned slightly, but remained unconcerned.

Even if this sword energy is powerful, so what? Can it be more powerful than his late-stage Mahayana stage?

Followed by.

Another voice came from afar: "General Yang, the sect leader of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's Taiyao Sect, is here. Blackwater Demon Lord, you will not succeed!"

General Yang decisively transformed into a giant ten thousand feet tall and charged alone at the Blackwater Demon Lord!
"Ha, another ant."

The Blackwater Demon Lord sneered, "No matter how many ants of this level come, I will kill them all!"

Just as he raised his hand again to kill Jiang Liu and General Yang, Ye Longying also appeared!
"Damn righteous cultivators, do they think the demonic path is without anyone to rely on?!"

Ye Longying's voice carried a hint of coldness as she raised her hand and slashed at Jiang Liu and General Yang!

"Senior Blackwater, do not panic! The demonic path of Zhongzhou will endure forever!"

While attacking Jiang Liu and General Yang, she spoke to the Blackwater Demon Lord.

"Young man, you've got guts. You dare to interfere in such a high-level game."

When the Blackwater Demon Lord saw that Ye Longying, a demonic cultivator, had actually helped him, he looked at her with admiration and praised her, "You have great potential. I have high hopes for you."

"Thank you, Blackwater Demon Lord."

Ye Longying said expressionlessly, "The righteous path of Zhongzhou is really going too far."

Ye Longying single-handedly stopped Jiang Liu and General Yang, and the three of them got entangled in a fight, each wielding a sword and throwing a punch, putting on quite a show.

Meanwhile, the Blackwater Demon Lord charged towards Dao Dan Elder and Yuan He with a cacophony of cackling sounds.

One person fights two early-stage Mahayana cultivators alone!
In an instant, a chaotic battle broke out at the top of Dan Ding Peak.

Jiang Liu and the others were acting, but Dao Dan Elder and the Black Water Demon Lord were not.

Jiang Liu and his group were spitting out blood as they fought, but it was fake blood. However, Dao Dan Elder and the others were spitting out real blood!
This is terrible! We can't defeat the Blackwater Demon Lord!

"You remnant of the demonic path, you forced me to this!"

Dao Dan Elder spat out a mouthful of blood, his face filled with shock and anger. He gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and took out a pill from his storage ring. The pill was red and its surface was covered with pill patterns.

This is a Spirit Explosion Pill, extremely powerful, capable of boosting the user's combat strength in a short time. However, using the Spirit Explosion Pill will cause significant damage to the user's body.

"Young friend Jiang, young friend Yang, hold on! I will risk my old bones today to prevent the elixir from falling into the hands of the demonic path!"

Dao Dan Elder gritted his teeth and swallowed the Exploding Spirit Pill.

Instantly, a powerful surge of spiritual energy erupted from his body.

He held a pill fan, fanning it to unleash golden pill fire, which burned towards the Black Water Demon Lord and Ye Longying. The temperature of the pill fire was several times higher than before, and the air was distorted wherever it passed!

"Blackwater Demon Lord, taste my Nine-Turn Elixir Fire!"

"I'm afraid you won't succeed!"

The Blackwater Demon Lord chuckled and unleashed a palm strike that blotted out the sky!
"Overturning Water and Covering the Sky Palm!"

How could the Dao Dan Elder's natal fire be a match for his natal water!

With a single palm strike, the world changed color!
"what!"

Old Man Daodan let out a miserable scream and collapsed to the ground.

"what!"

The Yuanhe NPC, responsible for guarding the elixir, also perished.

"Hehehe, give it to me!"

The Blackwater Demon Lord laughed wildly twice and grabbed at the nine immortal pills with his large hand!

A century of humiliation has been avenged today!

Just when everyone thought the situation was settled, more people arrived!

"Hmph, Blackwater Demon Lord, don't think that my Taiyi Immortal Alliance is without anyone!"

A cold snort resounded throughout the heavens and earth; Xuan Chenzi had made his move!
Xuan Chenzi had been observing from the shadows. He had originally intended to use Jiang Liu and the others to obtain two immortal pills, but when he saw Jiang Liu suddenly help the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, he was filled with surprise and doubt. Could it be that Jiang Liu had turned against them?
If he turns against us, won't he be exposed?
Do not!
I'm not here to steal the elixir; I'm here to help protect it!
Xuan Chenzi, who is loyal to the Taiyi Immortal Alliance, has arrived. Black Water Demon Lord, you are doomed!
He also wanted to take this opportunity to clear his name of the Taiyi Immortal Alliance's trust, which he had lost when he lost the immortal-grade materials.

They're all incredibly cunning. (End of Chapter)
