In an era where everyone is cultivating immortality, the system wants me to become a demon?

Chapter 507 Gui Yuan, you are still as charming as ever!
Gui Yuan's voice was clear and bright, like the melodious tolling of a bell, and with the blessing of the Divine Transformation Spiritual Power, it traveled all the way into this unknown great world.

The people and cultivators throughout the Great World all heard this terrifying voice, and for a time, everyone was filled with unease.

Faced with this undisguised provocation, the Nascent Soul cultivator located within the Great World naturally needed to respond.

Just a few seconds later, a streak of light shot out of the Great World and appeared in front of Gui Yuan and Su Yuan.

Su Yuan's gaze sharpened slightly as he sized up the person before him.

The other person was a slender woman with delicate features, who had a sickly beauty, and whose body was covered by a plain gray robe. Her thick black hair was tied up with a single wooden hairpin, making her look very simple.

After a quick glance, Su Yuan felt that the woman did not seem like a cruel person, but rather had the air of a scientific researcher.

In contrast to Su Yuan's unfamiliarity with this person, Gui Yuan's reaction was much stronger.

Upon seeing the slender woman, Gui Yuan was initially taken aback, then carefully examined her and exclaimed in surprise:
"The Fairy Maiden of Elixir?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect to run into an old acquaintance in the new era. Gui Yuan, you are still as charming as ever."

The Fairy of Spiritual Medicine gave a lukewarm smile, which seemed stiff, as if she hadn't smiled for tens of thousands of years.

The Fairy Maiden of Elixir?

Su Yuan quickly searched his mind and soon found the name of the Spirit Medicine Heavenly Lord among the thirty-six incarnations of the ancient human race.

According to ancient records, the Fairy Maiden of Spiritual Medicine was the foremost in pharmacology among the thirty-six transformed deities.

Her people were free from all diseases, and the mountains, rivers, and plants under her rule all possessed medicinal properties. The miraculous medicines she produced saved countless lives. She was a highly respected deity.

“I haven’t changed much, but you’re much thinner than I remember. I think you used to be quite chubby.”

A hint of emotion also flashed in Gui Yuan's beautiful eyes.

But soon, her expression turned serious again, and she asked in a deep voice:
"Why have your people become like this? Why are they all emaciated and even crippled?"

"Elixir, have you fallen?"

Hearing Gui Yuan's question, the Fairy of Spiritual Herbs calmly replied:

"Probably. Not long after you disappeared, I couldn't withstand the pressure from the Boundless Calamity Venerable and surrendered to him."

Upon hearing this, an immense killing intent suddenly surged from Gui Yuan's body.

"Is it simply because you couldn't withstand the pressure from the Boundless Calamity Venerable that you chose to aid and abet evil?"

The Fairy of Elixir shook her head:

“You misunderstand. If it were just me alone, I could have chosen to end my life. But the Boundless Calamity Venerable is using my people to force me.”

"In order to protect my people and the Azure Realm of Spirit Medicine, I chose to surrender. The Boundless Calamity Venerable, in accordance with the conditions he promised me, divided the territory under my jurisdiction, forming this great world."

"The people in this great world are all descendants of the people of the Azure Domain of Spirit Medicine from 100,000 years ago."

Gui Yuan's expression softened slightly upon hearing this.

The Fairy of Elixir didn't seem entirely hopeless, and she continued in a deep voice to inquire:

"And then what? Ten thousand years ago, you betrayed your companions to protect your people, so why did you mistreat them again ten thousand years later?"

The Fairy of Elixir smiled bitterly:

“I did not mistreat them, I was forced to.” “After surrendering to the Boundless Calamity Venerable, my situation and that of the Spirit Medicine Azure Domain were not good, because the Boundless Calamity Venerable would force me to refine immortal pills for him every once in a while.”

"If I can't refine the pills, I only have two options: either he provides the materials to help me refine the evil pills that poison the cultivation world, or I use the flesh and blood of the people of the Azure Domain to refine the pills and make up for the deficit."

"Over the years, all the medicinal fields in the Spirit Herb Azure Domain have been exhausted, and the raw materials I need for alchemy are becoming increasingly scarce."

“At that time, the Boundless Calamity Venerable would bring materials and force me to refine the Fallen God Pill. This pill would poison a Nascent Soul cultivator as soon as it came into contact with their skin. To survive, the Nascent Soul cultivator would have no choice but to submit to the Boundless Calamity Venerable.”

"In order to prevent more fellow Daoists from being harmed, I have no choice but to grit my teeth and take action against my people, and complete the task given to me by the Boundless Calamity Venerable while ensuring their survival as much as possible."

"In order to protect my people as much as possible, when I am refining pills, I will cut off my own flesh and blood to use as the main ingredient."

As she spoke, the Fairy of Spirit Medicine lifted the hem of her gray linen robe in front of Su Yuan and Gui Yuan.

A stark white skeleton, with not a trace of flesh or blood attached, appeared before the two.

Su Yuan couldn't help but gasp.

No wonder Senior Guiyuan said that Fairy Lingyao had lost weight. She had personally cut off all her own flesh and blood and drained all her blood. How could she not lose weight?
At this moment, Su Yuan deeply felt the malice of the Boundless Calamity Venerable!

He didn't devour the Fairy of Spirit Medicine as soon as possible so that he could appreciate her inner struggle between her people and morality, and slowly peel away her flesh like boiling a frog in lukewarm water until there was nothing left to extract from her.

This yields far more benefits than simply consuming the Fairy of Elixir!

The Fairy of Spiritual Medicine lifted her skirt and said with a touch of melancholy:
"But even though I've tried so hard, I still had to help him refine three Fallen God Pills."

"Guiyuan, you're right, I have fallen."

“From the very first day of my surrender, I completely lost my moral compass and became a puppet at the mercy of the Boundless Calamity Venerable.”

"Perhaps I should have been tougher back then, even if it cost me everything, to let the Boundless Calamity Venerable see my mettle... But it's too late to say anything now."

After listening to the fairy's story, Gui Yuan and Su Yuan both fell silent.

The Fairy of Elixir did indeed aid and abet evil, but everyone can understand her predicament.

Letting such pitiful people go would be unfair to warriors like Guiyuan and Huafu Tianjun who fought to the death, but killing them outright would be too cruel.

"I am now a citizen of the Blue Star Federation, and I will support this cultivation civilization in restoring the glory of our era."

After a moment of silence, Gui Yuan spoke in a deep voice:
"Therefore, in the name of the orthodox cultivation world, I am giving you two choices."

"Come back to the Blue Star Federation with me to serve your sentence, or die. Whichever path you choose, the people of the Azure Domain of Spirit Medicine will be properly resettled."

The fairy maiden's eyes lit up slightly.

"Can my people be properly resettled?"

Gui Yuan nodded seriously:

"I guarantee that, and I also guarantee that as long as you are willing to surrender to the Blue Star Federation, you will absolutely not be sentenced to death."

The Fairy of Elixir nodded, her eyes slightly lowered.
"It sounds pretty good, but..."

"If I kill you, your body will be able to support me in refining elixirs for a very long time!"

When she said the second half of the sentence, the serene Fairy of Herbal Medicine suddenly became sharp in tone!
