A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

Fangshi, the backyard of Baicaoge.

Manager Wang stood with his hands at his sides, respectfully reporting to Su Qingyuan, who was sitting at the stone table.

"Miss, that's how it is."

Last night, the young master single-handedly stormed Black Dragon Ridge and wiped out more than two hundred members of the Black Dragon Gang.

Including the gang leader Black Flood Dragon, all three Foundation Establishment cultivators perished. The entire Black Flood Dragon Ridge was reduced to an icy wasteland, barren of everything.

Upon hearing this, Su Qingyuan, dressed in a plain white dress, sat under the pear tree, brewing tea with her delicate hands, her expression serene.

"How strong is he?"

She took a sip of tea and asked.

"According to our observations, Young Master Luo's actual combat strength has definitely reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, and may even be higher."

Manager Wang's expression was solemn. "Furthermore, the depth of his spiritual power and the ruthlessness of his methods far surpass those of others of the same level. We cannot fathom the depth of his abilities."

Su Qingyuan nodded slightly, a faint smile curving her lips.

"Since he knew you were following him and still displayed his strength, it means he acknowledged me as his senior sister, which also shows his attitude."

Shopkeeper Wang hesitated and said, "Miss, Young Master Luo has taken all those medicinal herbs."

"It doesn't matter. He is also half a disciple of Master. Whether he is in his hands or in mine, it makes no difference."

Su Qingyuan put down her teacup. "Besides, I originally intended to use him to take back what belongs to the Five Elements Pill Sect. The Black Dragon Gang is just the beginning."

"But Miss, if we do this, Young Master Luo will inevitably be targeted by the Zhengyang Sect."

Manager Wang hesitated, then said, "Even though Young Master Luo has done a clean job, there's no guarantee that someone won't find out something."

"What's meant to happen will happen. His agreement to form an alliance with me already means that he has stood on the opposite side of the Zhengyang Sect. The difference is whether it's overt or covert."

Su Qingyuan looked up at the sky. "But he still needs time to grow, and we also need time to prepare."

She had never taken the Black Dragon Gang seriously, and her actions were also a way of testing Luo Fan's strength.

Luo Fan knew her plan, so he granted her wish. As for the medicinal herbs…

She didn't care at all as long as it didn't fall into someone else's hands.

Shopkeeper Wang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Miss, would you like to attend the Zhengyang Sect's auction the day after tomorrow?"

Su Qingyuan stood up and looked towards Zhengyang Mountain, thousands of miles away.

He will go.

"And I..."

"I will go too."

"I will take back everything that belongs to my master, one by one."

……

Danfeng.

The moonlight, like water, spilled over the quiet courtyard.

Inside the alchemy room, the furnace fire had been extinguished, but a faint medicinal fragrance still lingered in the air.

Luo Fan carefully placed the three newly made Five Elements Creation Pills into a jade bottle and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Adding what we had before, that should be enough."

He temporarily put the jade bottle into his storage bag.

A figure appeared on the courtyard wall outside the gate.

The woman wore a purple dress and her face was covered by a light veil, revealing only a pair of captivating phoenix eyes.

Her skirt swayed gently in the wind, and her slender, fair legs gleamed with a lustrous sheen under the moonlight.

She stood on the wall, her gaze passing through the window to the busy figure inside the alchemy room.

"It's better to be lucky than early."

Beneath the veil, her red lips curved slightly, and she raised her hand gently, her fingertips twitching slightly.

A stream of light flew from her fingertips, transforming into a barrier that enveloped the entire Danfeng Courtyard.

After doing all this, she landed gracefully, her skirt unfurling like butterfly wings.

"Who?"

Inside the alchemy room, Luo Fan sensed something amiss and flashed into the courtyard.

Eyes facing each other.

"It's you again!"

Luo Fan's face darkened, his anger rising. "You vixen, you dare to come back! You escaped last time, but this time I'll catch you no matter what!"

He activated his Eye of Truth, and just like last time, his gaze fell upon the other person's cheek...

Blocked by an invisible layer of water ripples, only a blurry outline could be seen.

"Hmm? This aura?"

Last time, this woman displayed the cultivation level of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, but today she has climbed to the peak of Foundation Establishment!

It seems my guess was right; this is roughly her true strength.

No, that's not right.

Although the aura was powerful, there was something strange about it, as if it had been suppressed or modified.

But things are different now. Last time, I underestimated this vixen.

This time the result will definitely be different!

He swore!

What's more, this demoness actually dared to set up a barrier formation on his territory.

Do you really think he's a fish on a chopping board, at the mercy of others?

Uncle can tolerate it, but Aunt cannot!

"Young master, it's been a long time!"

Liu Linglong chuckled softly, her voice sweet and seductive, "I've been missing you terribly~"

She walked gracefully towards Luo Fan, her skirt swaying, exuding charm.

How tight is it?

Luo Fan raised an eyebrow.

Liu Linglong stopped in her tracks, paused for a moment, and then a blush rose on her pretty face beneath the veil.

"That young man is so naughty!"

Her voice became even more alluring, "I truly love you; it's no wonder I've longed for you day and night!"

Behind the veil, Liu Linglong was secretly grinding her teeth.

That little rascal, he's getting sharper and sharper with his tongue. Just wait and see how I deal with him later!

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Luo Fan snorted, "If you've got the guts, tear off your veil and show your true face!"

Whether someone has guts or not isn't up to them to decide.

Liu Linglong tilted her head and blinked. "That depends on how hard you try, young master~"

"..."

Luo Fan's temples throbbed with rage. This vixen was utterly shameless!

"You shameless vixen!"

Luo Fan, unable to bear it any longer, unleashed his spiritual power, shouting, "Take this!"

He transformed into a blur and rushed straight at Liu Linglong!

"Oh, young master, you seem quite impatient!"

Liu Linglong gracefully retreated.

The purple dress drew a graceful arc in the air, easily avoiding Luo Fan's angry attack.

Luo Fan was clearly prepared.

Without pausing, his hands flew, unleashing a barrage of palm strikes that blocked all of Liu Linglong's escape routes.

"what?"

A look of surprise flashed in Liu Linglong's eyes; she hadn't expected that this little rascal's agility had improved so much.

The force, speed, and density of his spiritual energy were more than ten times stronger than in their last encounter.

No wonder he came out on top in the secret realm; he managed to hide his strength to such an extent. It must have been quite an achievement for him.

However, this is the man she truly desires.

Especially when I think about the mysterious alchemist that Kong Lingfei is so eager to find…

She had already taken advantage of him completely, and he felt an indescribable joy.

Some people stop at the starting line, while others leap to the finish line in one step.

That's the difference.

She chuckled inwardly, but remained outwardly composed, continuing to use her current cultivation level to deal with Luo Fan.

The two fought fiercely in the courtyard.

Luo Fan's moves were fierce, his fists and palms surging with spiritual energy, each strike carrying the power to split mountains and shatter rocks.

Liu Linglong, on the other hand, uses gentleness to overcome strength, always managing to avoid Luo Fan by the slightest margin.

Luo Fan was increasingly shocked as he fought; this demoness's strength was still greater than he had anticipated!

He had already used almost all his strength, combined with the Ghostly Shadow Step, but he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage.

It was as if his opponent could see through all his moves, anticipating each one and easily neutralizing them.

"Who exactly is this woman?"

Luo Fan felt a chill run down his spine.

Despite having a Foundation Establishment peak cultivation level, he possesses combat awareness and skills comparable to a Golden Core cultivator.

This is definitely not an ordinary disciple of the Hehuan Sect. Could it be that an elder of the Hehuan Sect has come in person?

wrong.

An elder from the Hehuan Sect infiltrated the Peach Blossom Temple just to harass one of his inner disciples.

This makes no sense.

Just as Luo Fan was filled with doubt and surprise, Liu Linglong suddenly chuckled.

"Young man, you're making great progress!"

A sly glint flashed in her eyes. "If that's all you've got, you won't escape my grasp tonight~"

Her aura suddenly changed.

In the blink of an eye, his cultivation at the peak of Foundation Establishment broke through the shackles and ascended to the Golden Core Realm!

Although it was only a fleeting moment, the immense pressure made Luo Fan's hair stand on end.

"Oh no!"

His expression changed drastically. Without thinking, he retreated rapidly, but he was still too slow.

Liu Linglong's speed was faster than he had imagined.

Almost the instant he stepped back, she appeared before him like a ghost.

Her slender fingers lightly touched his forehead.

Then, Luo Fan was completely frozen in place, unable to move.

"Witch! What do you want?!"

Luo Fan looked wary. "I'm warning you, don't do anything reckless! When I get ruthless, even I'm afraid of myself..."

Liu Linglong remained silent.

Luo Fan only heard her laughter and saw her stride forward with her long, beautiful legs.

With each step she took, a purple veil flew out from behind her and spread out on the ground.

Several crisscrossing purple veils had been laid out before Luo Fan's eyes, extending all the way to his feet.

"How can one remain unmoved when faced with such beauty?"

Her fingertips lingered on his lips. "If that were the case, wouldn't that be too disrespectful to my young master?"

"..."

You call this respect?!

You took this without asking!

They are abducting respectable men from good families!

Luo Fan was panting heavily as he tried to forcefully break free of his restraints.

next second.

Her delicate face, visible through the veil, carried a faint fragrance as it touched his lips.

Luo Fan's breathing suddenly stopped.

Beneath the veil, her cheeks were slightly flushed, her eyes were moist, and she gently pushed away with her jade-like hand.

Luo Fan then fell backward uncontrollably, landing on the purple carpet.

The surrounding purple gauze moved without wind, quickly intertwining and closing to form a giant cocoon.

The light was shut out, leaving only their breaths and heartbeats.
