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

Kong Lingfei stood there, stunned.

The moonlight illuminated his pale face and the bloodless, delicate face in Luo Fan's arms.

He stared at the figure in Luo Fan's arms.

Staring at those tightly closed eyes.

Staring at that almost imperceptible breathing.

His world collapsed.

He desperately wanted to find a trace of life in that lifeless, delicate face.

He wished that the girl would suddenly jump up, pat his shoulder, and look playful.

And then say, "Master, look how scared you are! They were just playing a little joke on you."

But he did not get what he wanted.

Midozhi lay there in Luo Fan's arms.

Looking at the numerous injuries covering his body, his breathing became even more labored.

He staggered forward, reaching out to touch Midozhi's face.

His fingers trembled in mid-air, hesitating to bring them down.

He fears.

I'm afraid she'll break if I touch her.

Luo Fan was moved, feeling as if his heart had been stabbed.

"I'm sorry, Elder Kong, Luo Fan has failed in his mission. I didn't take good care of my junior sister."

Luo Fan's voice was dry and hoarse.

"What are you good for?!"

Kong Lingfei's eyes were bloodshot as he grabbed Luo Fan's collar with astonishing force.

His suppressed growl was filled with unbelievable pain and anger.

"With your strength! With your abilities! How could you not even protect a little girl?! Huh?!"

Midozhi is a bit mischievous.

But he has a pure and innocent personality, and he has always treated him as his own son, showering him with love and affection.

Now, that lively little girl is lying here without a sound.

How could he possibly accept that?

He regretted it!

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have paid any attention to this girl's nonsense!

They shouldn't have let her out!

"Do you know what Zhizhi said to me before she left!"

Luo Fan remained silent.

Kong Lingfei took a deep breath and said, "She said she's secretly fallen for someone."

"I don't care if that person has her in their heart."

"She begged me desperately to let her out, no matter what."

She said that even just being by his side and glancing at him a few more times would make her content.

Luo Fan's pupils contracted slightly, and Kong Lingfei's grip tightened.

"But what about you?"

"What have you done?!"

Luo Fan remained silent.

He let Kong Lingfei grab his collar.

There was no explanation.

There was no explanation.

There was only silence.

The anger in Kong Lingfei's eyes gradually turned into despair. He released his grip and took two steps back.

"Luo Fan".

"I know, you're that mysterious alchemist, aren't you?"

"After that girl left, I happened to see the confidentiality agreement she signed with you."

He stared at Luo Fan, hope rekindling in his eyes.

"You definitely have a way to save her, you definitely do, right!"

The scene was deathly silent.

Everyone was watching this scene.

Master Qingxiao stood to the side, his gaze complex.

He hated Luo Fan to the core, especially in the Sword Tomb Secret Realm.

This man refused to help his disciple Qin Shou, who was in dire need of help, leading to his disciple's death at the hands of a demonic cultivator.

He had thought countless times that when this kid came back, he would definitely find a chance to make him suffer.

But now…

Looking at Luo Fan's pale face and his body covered in severe, mangled wounds.

Looking at the dying Midozhi in his arms.

Watching him silently endure Kong Lingfei's scolding without uttering a word, Qingxiao was filled with mixed emotions.

Whether it's the identity of the mysterious alchemist or the terrifying talent and combat power that Luo Fan has displayed.

Neither of them are people he can target, nor are they people he should target.

It is a blessing for the sect to have such a prodigy.

If he cannot distinguish between personal interests and the greater good, then his position as an elder of the Dan Hall will truly come to an end.

Luo Fan didn't notice Qing Xiao's gaze; he simply turned around and handed the Midozhi to Yun Xi.

"Sect Leader, please."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Luo Fan stepped into the sect.

Kong Lingfei stared blankly at his retreating figure.

I wanted to call out to him.

He moved his lips, but didn't open his mouth.

Yunxi held Midozhi in her arms and said softly, "Come with me to Shangqing Palace."

The atmosphere inside the sect leader's hall was solemn.

Yunxi sat in the main seat.

Liu Linglong sat to her left.

The two sides below.

Seated among them were the elders of each peak and core disciples such as Xie Nantian.

Bai Jie and the other two women stood quietly to the side.

Midozhi has been temporarily placed in a side hall by Yunxi, where she is being looked after by two attentive female disciples.

Yunxi succinctly recounted her experience of going to the Zhengyang Sect to participate in the martial arts competition.

From arriving at the Zhengyang Sect, to the martial arts arena, and then to the Zhengyang Sect's secret collusion with the Demonic Sect's Soul-Slaying Hall.

He used martial arts to suppress and even assassinate the prodigies of various sects, and was eventually intercepted and killed by Sikong Jue and his men.

How everyone fought a bloody battle.

How Ji Kun fell from grace.

Every single event struck like a heavy hammer blow to the heart of every elder present.

Master Qingxiao suddenly stood up, his face full of shock.

"The Zhengyang Sect is actually the scapegoat of the Soul-Slaying Hall?!"

The Zhengyang Sect is the undisputed leader of the immortal path, having held the reins of the righteous path for over a century!

If this news gets out, it will be enough to shake the entire cultivation world!

Upon hearing this, Gao Yi clenched his fists, his face grim, but he remained silent.

However, it was not difficult to see the immense hatred in his expression.

The hatred was mixed with an uncontrollable killing intent, as if he couldn't wait to kill the Zhengyang Sect.

"No wonder the Demonic Sect's activities have become increasingly rampant in recent years, while the Zheng Yang Sect has done little!"

Qian Butong's face turned ashen.

"This monster in human skin!"

Elder Leng Yue of the Discipline Hall slapped the armrest of his chair and snorted coldly.

Then everyone heard Yunxi say something.

Their escape was thanks to Luo Fan's desperate fight against Sikong Jue.

The entire hall fell silent once again.

Shocked!

An unparalleled and breathtaking experience!

How long has Luo Fan been cultivating?

It's been no more than twenty years at most!

What terrifying power this is!

What an astonishing speed of cultivation!

Even at the cost of burning one's spiritual root and destroying one's own path, such combat power is still considered heaven-defying!

The entire room fell silent as everyone digested this astonishing news.

What does it mean to be severely injured at the early stage of the Golden Core realm, almost to the point of leaving the body?

This is a monster!

"Luo Fan... has grown to this extent..."

Master Qingxiao muttered to himself.

At that moment, the last trace of resentment in his heart completely vanished.

There's an old saying in the Tianyuan Continent: "Those who understand the times are heroes."

This child is no ordinary person.

The most gratifying thing is that money doesn't flow.

If Brother Li knew this in the afterlife, he would truly have no regrets.

The only regret, I suppose, is that I never got to drink at this kid's wedding while I was still alive.

This is a trivial matter; leave it to him.

His apprentice, Xiong Chumo, has both a great figure and a beautiful face.

With inexhaustible strength, he is undoubtedly the perfect choice for a Daoist partner.

Qian Butong secretly assured himself that it was definitely not because of Luo Fan's talent.

I just can't bear to see my old friend die without being able to fulfill his wish.

He probably forgot how Li Chishui had subtly mentioned this matter to him when he was alive.

And yet, he rejected her with a glare and a spittle on his face!

He even said that it was like putting a beautiful flower in cow dung.

Even cow dung can nourish flowers, but what about Luo Fan? He's not even as good as cow dung.

"Sect Leader, what is Luo Fan's current condition?"

Qian Butong asked again.

"It's very heavy."

Yunxi did not hide anything, "If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Su's gift of the Five Elements Nirvana Pill, I might have been in danger of my path of cultivation being cut off."

Everyone fell silent again.

Yunxi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Pass on my order."

"No disciple may leave the sect without permission; those who violate this rule will be expelled!"

Everyone responded in unison.

Yunxi looked at Kong Lingfei.

"Elder Kong, Luo Fan has already kept that girl alive with some medicine."

"After he emerges from seclusion, he will go to find the Rejuvenation Herb and refine the Rejuvenation Pill."

"Linglong and I need to go into seclusion for two days. Once our injuries have eased a bit, we will treat that girl's wounds."

Kong Lingfei nodded.

"Thank you, Sect Leader."

Yunxi looked at everyone and took out several jade bottles.

"These pills were specially left by Luo Fan for everyone; they will be helpful for cultivation."

"I hope you all will not slacken your efforts. We are destined to fight the Demonic Sect."

The crowd's expressions tightened, and they all agreed before leaving one after another.

Inside the hall, only Yunxi and Liu Linglong remained.

"Senior sister, are you really okay with letting that little rascal go out alone?"

Yunxi remained silent.

Liu Linglong continued, "You've seen how outstanding he is, aren't you afraid he might never come back?"

"He is capable of handling ordinary crises."

"You said it yourself, it was a normal crisis."

Liu Linglong sighed, "This little rascal seems to value his life, but he is extremely loyal and righteous."

"He won't come back until he finds the Rejuvenation Herb."

"Even if the Rejuvenating Herb is in the Zhengyang Sect, he will definitely rush there to try his luck."

Yunxi's expression changed slightly.

Liu Linglong leaned closer to her and lowered her voice, "I do have a way to make him afraid to do anything reckless."

She whispered a few words in Yunxi's ear.

Yunxi's ears turned red instantly.

After Liu Linglong finished speaking, she took a step back and looked at her with a smile.

"In that case, I can guarantee that the little bastard values ​​his life more than anyone else."

"This will keep him firmly under control, in case he dares to stray outside in the future..."

She raised her small fist, "Then you can teach him a lesson in your capacity other than sect leader!"

"screw you!"

Yunxi's pretty face flushed red, and she glared at Liu Linglong, "What kind of terrible idea is this!"

Watching her fleeing figure, Liu Linglong pouted.

"cut."

"Others are practically scrambling to our doorstep, why are you pretending to be calm?"

She hadn't forgotten the look Su Qingyuan gave Luo Fan before she left.

How can we let the good stuff go to outsiders?
