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

Those eyes were bloodshot.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor felt a chill, but as a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator, he quickly calmed down.

"Young man, you...!"

He was shocked by Luo Fan's strength and wondered which sect this prodigy came from.

Such beings should either be avoided or eradicated completely.

He wouldn't back down for the sake of the treasure, and besides, he had already offended the man, so he had no choice but to kill Luo Fan here.

Luo Fan was even more resolute, not giving him any chance to speak.

All he knew was that his anger had been completely ignited.

Blood debts can only be settled by paying with blood.

The five elements' spiritual power, the true essence of the crimson sun, and the malevolent aura of the God-Slaying Sword.

At this moment, everything merged, transforming into the most violent power.

"cut!"

Luo Fan gripped the sword with both hands, and the God-Slaying Sword erupted with an unprecedented crimson light.

Swift as lightning.

Ruthless as thunder.

clang--!!!

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor was forced back, his blood and qi surged, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

He became increasingly horrified.

How did this kid's strength suddenly increase so much?!

Luo Fan raised his hand and grasped the Myriad Poison Pearl, enduring the excruciating pain in his meridians, and slapped the pearl until it cracked!

A dense cloud of poisonous fog erupted!

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated, raising his protective spiritual light!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Luo Fan picked up the seriously injured Su Qingyuan and turned to flee!

Only the sound returned.

"You old dog! I'll avenge this humiliation one day!"

"Damn it!"

Enraged, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor wanted to pursue, but first he had to disperse the poisonous mist.

When the poisonous fog dissipated, Luo Fan had vanished without a trace. He snorted coldly and followed the scent in pursuit.

Luo Fan carried Su Qingyuan as they fled through the mist, the aura of the Heavenly Sword Ancestor drawing ever closer behind them.

Su Qingyuan leaned against him, the wound on her chest still bleeding.

"Luo Fan..."

She wanted Luo Fan to abandon her and escape alone.

"Don't speak!"

As Luo Fan fled, he used his spiritual power to remove the sword energy of the Blood Fiend Ancestor from her.

They then stuffed another Rejuvenation Pill into her mouth.

Under the influence of the elixir, Su Qingyuan's wounds healed quickly.

The feeling of drowsiness grew heavier and heavier, and eventually her consciousness could not hold on any longer.

Luo Fan's features gradually faded in her eyes.

He glanced down at Su Qingyuan and breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The fog ahead suddenly thinned, and a strange aura rushed towards us.

Luo Fan burst out of the mist, and a huge valley suddenly opened up before him.

In the center of the valley is a pool of water, divided into two halves.

Half of it was like lava, bubbling with heat, and the other half was like ice, radiating a bone-chilling cold.

In the center of the pool, there was a pure white herb that emitted a soft glow.

It's a resurrection herb!

But it's not mature yet.

Before Luo Fan could even feel happy, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor caught up from behind!

He tried his best to dodge, but was still struck in the back by the incoming sword energy.

puff!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and rolled to the ground while holding Su Qingyuan.

The two fell onto the edge of the pool.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor landed, his feet about ten feet off the ground, looking down at Luo Fan.

"Boy, hand over the jade disc, and I might spare your life."

Luo Fan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled.

He smiled calmly.

He reached out and took Su Qingyuan's hand.

"Senior sister, I've dragged you into this."

Their fingers are intertwined.

Luo Fan took a deep breath, his eyes resolute. "We will definitely leave here alive."

He loosened his grip, stood up with difficulty, carried Su Qingyuan on his back, and tied her tightly with strips of cloth.

Then he faced the Heavenly Sword Ancestor, his back straight.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor shook his head and casually waved his hand, tearing the air with sword light.

Luo Fan's eyes reflected the sword light, and a resolute look flashed across his face.

Is the meridian not yet healed?

Golden Core damaged?

I can't worry about that anymore.

My senior sister can't die.

He cannot die.

"The Incantation of Burning Heart and Nirvana!"

With a low growl, Luo Fan felt excruciating pain as his meridians ruptured.

Inside the dantian, the golden core, which was already riddled with cracks, developed even more cracks.

Correspondingly, an extremely violent power surged forth from within.

Ten times the combat power!

Combat capabilities are steadily increasing.

Golden Core Level 2... Golden Core Level 3... Golden Core Level 4... Golden Core Level 5!

"cut!"

Luo Fan gripped the sword with both hands.

The sword light transformed into a crimson phoenix, which cried out to the sky and pounced on the Heavenly Sword Ancestor.

"What?!"

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor's expression changed drastically.

The power of that sword strike made him feel threatened with death.

He dared not be careless and immediately defended himself. The two sword lights collided with a loud crash.

Luo Fan was the first to be hit, and was violently thrown away by the aftershocks of the explosion.

Together with Su Qingyuan on his back, they plummeted into the Yin-Yang Pool behind them.

thump!

The two fell into the pool.

The icy cold water and the scalding hot boiling water enveloped them at the same time.

Luo Fan was in a daze and only had time to hold Su Qingyuan tightly.

The water in the Yin-Yang Pool spun wildly, forming a huge whirlpool that swallowed the two of them.

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor was also thrown back dozens of feet by the aftershocks of the explosion, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

He steadied himself and looked at the surface of the pool; the whirlpool was slowly disappearing.

Luo Fan and Su Qingyuan have disappeared.

"Damn it!"

The Heavenly Sword Ancestor's face turned ashen as he rushed to the edge of the pool.

He tried to probe the pool with his divine sense, but the water was strange and his divine sense couldn't penetrate it at all.

"Hmph! Don't even think about escaping my grasp!"

It seems that this Yin-Yang Pool is the so-called forbidden area in the Burial Immortal Palace.

This forbidden area leads to the real treasure trove; he only needs to wait here for the opportunity to strike.

If those two manage to come out alive, the treasure will still be in his hands.

However, Su Qingyuan is a problem.

But that woman was seriously injured; how could she recover in a short time?

With this in mind, the Heavenly Sword Ancestor dispelled his last worries and even set up a protective barrier.

He feared that others might find this place, and even if he managed to obtain the treasure, he would have to share it equally with them.

Inside the Yin-Yang Pool, the temperature fluctuated, and Luo Fan and Su Qingyuan tumbled and sank in the whirlpool.

Just as he was about to fall into a coma, he saw a huge crack at the bottom of the pool.

It wasn't until the vortex swept them into it that Luo Fan's vision went black, and he lost all consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Fan was awakened by a bone-chilling cold.

What comes into view is a huge underground space.

Above their heads was the churning water of the Yin-Yang Pool.

Crimson and deep blue intertwine, and the pool of water is visible to be separated by an invisible barrier.

The surrounding rock walls, inlaid with countless crystals, illuminate this underground world.

There are mountains, water, flowers, grass, and even a gentle breeze blowing from a certain direction.

"This is... the forbidden area of ​​the Burial Immortal Palace?"

Despite the excruciating pain all over his body, Luo Fan got up and looked down at himself.

His clothes were tattered, his meridians were more severely damaged, and there were more cracks on his golden core.

Holy crap?!

Where's my senior sister?!

Luo Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly went to look for Su Qingyuan's whereabouts.

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the light blue figure not far away.

Thankfully, he didn't lose his job, otherwise he would have gained another title.

The worst scam in history!

Although Su Qingyuan's wounds had healed, the bloodthirsty energy had invaded her internal organs, causing her spiritual energy to become extremely disordered.

Ignoring his own injuries, he staggered to Su Qingyuan's side.

"Senior sister?"

Luo Fan called out to her.

Su Qingyuan moved her eyelids slightly, but seemed to lack the strength to even open them.

He quickly reached out to feel her pulse, which made Luo Fan's expression even more serious.

If the bloodthirsty energy invades the internal organs, it will damage the foundation of one's health and even endanger one's life if it is not expelled!

He took out the Rejuvenation Pill, the Minor Rejuvenation Pill, and the Essence Strengthening Pill, and fed them all to Su Qingyuan.

He then used the spiritual power of the five elements to help her refine it.

Expelling the blood-evil energy is a delicate and lengthy process.

The slightest carelessness could damage her already fragile internal organs.

Luo Fan was completely focused, the intense pain in his meridians assaulting his nerves time and time again.

The cracks on the golden core throbbed with pain as spiritual energy circulated wildly.

He nearly fainted several times.

Time slips away quietly.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

When the last trace of bloodlust was forced out of Su Qingyuan's body by the Five Elements spiritual power.

Luo Fan could no longer hold on. He leaned against the stone wall, panting heavily.

A short while later.

Su Qingyuan opened her eyes and saw that Luo Fan was covered in sweat and had blood on the corner of his mouth.

"Senior sister, you're finally awake?"

His voice was hoarse, but with a smile, "If you don't wake up soon, I can't hold on any longer."

"Only a virtuous gentleman like me can remain unmoved and chaste even when faced with a beautiful woman, and withstand such a test."

"idiot."

Su Qingyuan rolled her eyes at him. "Not bad, you can still joke around. Looks like you're not going to die."

Beneath her veil, her red lips subtly curved into a smile.

That little rascal, who told him to insist? Instead of just talking, let's get down to business.

She feared that even if she wanted to, she wouldn't be able to, and she could certainly see how serious Luo Fan's injuries were.

She recalled that before she lost consciousness, she was ambushed by the Blood Fiend Ancestor, and a sharp blade pierced her chest.

I recalled Luo Fan's roar.

I remember him carrying me as we fled through the fog.

He recalled how he used his spiritual power to expel the sword energy from himself while fleeing.

I remember his trembling hands when he fed me the pills.

Unbeknownst to her, Su Qingyuan's gaze towards him froze.

Luo Fan was jolted awake!

That's the same look in his eyes, exactly the same look Yunxi gave him that night!

He pursed his lips, "I did my best to heal your wounds, and not only did I not say a single kind word, but you even swore at me?"

Su Qingyuan ignored him and tried to get up, which aggravated her internal injuries.

Luo Fan quickly told her to stop.

"Don't move. I just cleaned the wound in your heart. You're as fragile as tofu right now."

"Would you like to try some?"

Su Qingyuan stopped what she was doing and suddenly said.

"What?"

"Tofu."

"..."
