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

Su Qingyuan barely resisted the urge to sit on him and kill him before she finally picked Luo Fan up.

Rumble!

The underground palace shook.

The central platform was sinking, revealing a teleportation array radiating spiritual light.

"Walk."

The two supported each other as they stepped into the teleportation array. When they reappeared, the scene had suddenly changed.

This is a more magnificent hall than before.

The main hall was hundreds of feet in size, and the entire space was decorated with carved beams and painted rafters, resplendent in gold and green.

In the center of the main hall, there was a small mountain of spirit stones!

High-grade spirit stones and top-grade spirit stones are mixed together, their light dazzling!

To the left are rows of stone shelves, filled with countless bottles of elixirs.

To the right is a stone platform, on which are placed dozens of pure white spiritual herbs.

Rejuvenating Herb!

It's full of life and vitality, and there's a small bag of seeds next to it!

Behind them was a row of weapon racks: knives, spears, swords, halberds, axes, battle-axes, hooks, forks...

Various magical weapons are displayed there!

"I'm rich...!"

Luo Fan almost drooled.

This was even more intoxicating than the first time he slept on a pure white, soft pillow.

Su Qingyuan's beautiful eyes also lit up, but they soon discovered the problem.

All the treasures were enveloped in a transparent light shield.

The light shield shimmered with five colors and had five grooves in front.

They correspond to the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

"It seems that the five elements' primordial spiritual power needs to be injected simultaneously to activate it."

Su Qingyuan frowned. "You lack the essence of earth spirit, so you cannot complete it."

Luo Fan gave it a try.

He infused the light shield with the spiritual power of the four elements: metal, wood, water, and fire, but the shield remained completely still.

"I'll try to simulate earth element with wood elemental power."

Su Qingyuan added, "Wood overcomes earth, and life goes on endlessly; perhaps that works."

The two tried together.

The first attempt failed.

The light shield trembled slightly.

The second attempt failed.

The light shield vibrated even more violently.

The third attempt also failed.

This time, the light shield vibrated violently, and a terrifying energy fluctuation emanated from within!

The two men's expressions changed drastically.

It seems that if they fail even once more, the energy contained in this light shield will not only destroy all the treasures, but they will also be affected and die!

"Damn it! I'm a scoundrel, but you're even more scoundrel than me!!"

Luo Fan couldn't help but curse, and he punched the light barrier.

Now that the item is right in front of him, but he can't take it away, one can imagine how he feels.

Treasures are secondary.

The key is to obtain the Rejuvenation Grass, refine it into the Rejuvenation Pill, and save Junior Sister!

We're just one step away!

After surviving countless near-death experiences and finally reaching this point, are we really going to turn back empty-handed?

He slammed his palm against the stone wall beside him!

boom!

It's unclear what this palm strike hit.

Click click click!

That was the sound of machinery turning.

In the center of the main hall, the ground cracked open, and an altar rose from the ground.

Above the altar, a yellowish-brown bead floats, exuding a calm, earthy aura.

Luo Fan was stunned.

Su Qingyuan was also stunned.

"Earth Spirit Orb?!"

Su Qingyuan looked at Luo Fan in astonishment, "Your luck is truly unparalleled."

Luo Fan looked at the Earth Spirit Pearl, his eyes flashing with wild joy.

He rushed to the altar, reached out and grasped the Earth Spirit Orb, sensing its power.

"Hahaha! The Earth Spirit Orb! It's the Earth Spirit Orb! What does 'when heaven closes all doors' mean? This is it!"

Looking at Luo Fan, who was so happy he was dancing with joy, Su Qingyuan behind him couldn't help but smile.

In all the time she'd known him, she'd never seen this little rascal so out of control.

Luo Fan no longer hesitated and sat down cross-legged.

The five elements of spiritual energy circulated, and an earthy yellow light enveloped him.

One hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

boom!!!

A powerful aura erupted from Luo Fan's body!

All five elements are present!

The five colors of light—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—circulated within his body!

Live endlessly!

Luo Fan's Five Elements Spiritual Roots have returned to the Heaven Rank Top Grade from the Earth Rank Top Grade!

It's even more stable and stronger than before!

The cracked golden core within his body was also healing under the nourishment of the five elements!

One by one, the cracks disappeared, and the golden elixir regained its vitality, becoming smooth and round again!

The aura is rising steadily!

Golden Core Stage 1!

Golden Core Level Two!

Golden Core Stage 3!

And the injuries to the meridians have been completely healed!

Luo Fan opened his eyes, and five-colored light swirled within them!

He stood up, clenched his fists, and felt an unprecedented sense of power coursing through his body!

"Did it work?"

Su Qingyuan raised an eyebrow.

Luo Fan made an OK sign, "Done."

Su Qingyuan didn't understand what his gesture meant, but as long as she knew he had succeeded, that was enough.

Then, Luo Fan poured the five elements of spiritual power into the five slots!

hum-

The light shield trembled slightly and then dissipated.

Luo Fan rushed to the stone platform, looked at the dozens of pure white spiritual herbs, and burst into laughter.

With these things, his junior sister was saved, and his trip would not have been in vain.

He also collected the seeds of the Rejuvenating Grass from the bag next to him.

Within his personal spiritual field lies the source of the Yin-Yang Spring.

With these seeds, one can cultivate this spiritual herb.

Su Qingyuan then walked to the stone shelf on the left and rummaged through the rows of jade bottles containing pills.

She picked up a jade bottle, uncorked it, and inside lay a pill the size of a longan.

"A top-grade Earth-rank Breakthrough Pill!"

Su Qingyuan's voice trembled slightly, "With this pill, I can break through to the Nascent Soul stage!"

"Then what are we waiting for?"

Luo Fan appeared out of nowhere, a sly grin on his face. "Come on, swallow it all in one gulp!"

"Now?"

Su Qingyuan frowned.

Why get so excited about taking the pill, and why swallow it whole?

There's no need to divide this tiny pill in half.

"Only if you break through will we be able to deal with the dangers ahead."

Luo Fan nodded, regaining his serious expression.

He was not blinded by the joy of acquiring so many treasures.

Countless powerful figures are guarding the area outside the forbidden zone, just waiting for them to leave.

Su Qingyuan also thought of these things, and immediately took the pill, sat cross-legged, and began to refine the medicinal power.

As time went by, Su Qingyuan's cultivation bottleneck gradually loosened.

Another half hour later.

boom!!!

Su Qingyuan opened her eyes, her gaze flashing with a sharp light!

She stood up, her spiritual energy surging around her, several times stronger than before!

Peak of the first level of the Nascent Soul stage!

Congratulations, Senior Sister.

Luo Fan smiled.

Su Qingyuan looked at him, nodded, and a hint of complexity appeared in the depths of her eyes.

"Senior sister, please put all these treasures away."

Luo Fan pointed to the mountain of spirit stones and the shelves full of spirit weapons and pills.

Su Qingyuan was taken aback. "All of them for me?"

"I only want the spirit stones, the resurrection grass, and those seeds."

Luo Fan added, "Keep the rest. You'll need resources to rebuild the Five Elements Pill Sect in the future."

All the spirit stones were put away, totaling 1.2 million high-grade spirit stones and 300,000 top-grade spirit stones.

Most of the pills were of the Xuan rank, with a dozen or so bottles of the Di rank, including two bottles of holy healing medicine.

There are a total of thirty-six magical weapons, including all kinds of swords, spears, halberds, and knives.

The lowest quality is a high-grade Xuan-level item, and the highest quality includes several mid-grade Di-level items.

Luo Fan possessed the God-Slaying Sword and wasn't particularly interested in these things.

Su Qingyuan did not refuse and put all the pills, jade bottles, and weapon racks into her storage ring.

Just as the two were about to leave, they either triggered some kind of restriction or emptied the treasure vault.

The main hall shook violently.

Rumble...

In the center of the main hall, a stone statue rises.

The stone statue holds a huge stone sword, and its open eyes gleam with a cold, eerie light!

"Anyone who trespasses on the treasure vault shall die!!"

The stone statue stared at the two of them, emitting a low, guttural sound.

Both Luo Fan and Su Qingyuan felt a tightness in their chests.

"This guy... actually has the strength of a half-step Nascent Soul Realm cultivator?"

Luo Fan had barely finished speaking.

boom!

The giant sword slashed at the spot where they had just stood, carving a deep trench!

Luo Fan flipped to his feet, slashing his sword at the back of the stone statue. "Big rock! Take this!"

clang--!!!

Sparks flew everywhere!

Only a faint white mark remained!

The stone statue swung its sword backhand, sending Luo Fan flying!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Su Qingyuan unleashed her attack, and the Green Wood Longevity Seal crashed down!

The stone statue staggered from the impact, but was unharmed!

It turned around and swung its giant sword, forcing Su Qingyuan to retreat in a sorry state!

"This thing is too hard!"

Luo Fan was speechless.

Their attacks couldn't break through the statue's defenses at all!

The stone statues' attacks could kill them with a single blow!

"Yes, they're much stronger than you."

Su Qingyuan said calmly.

Luo Fan: "..."

This woman, does she want to listen to what she's saying?

How can flesh and blood compare to stone?

The stone statue completely ignored Luo Fan's reaction, who was covered in black lines, and simply swung its sword at him again!

The giant sword's imposing aura pressed down!

Luo Fan tried to dodge, but found that this seemingly brutal sword strike actually blocked all his escape routes!

"Hurry up!"

As Su Qingyuan shouted, Luo Fan saw a streak of cyan light appear in her hand.

The flowing light transformed into green vines, which wrapped around the stone statue's arm holding the sword.

The greatsword stopped three inches above his head, unable to fall any further!

The stone statue is enraged!

It exerted its strength and swung its arm!

boom! ! !

The green vines shattered!

Su Qingyuan was thrown back by the tremendous force and slammed hard against the wall!

"Senior Sister!"

Luo Fan planted his feet on the ground and leaped into the air.

clang!!!

This sword strike only left a white mark; instead, he was thrown back by the recoil!

To his surprise, he bumped right into a soft spot!

"Huh? What's this that's so soft?"

He subconsciously reached out and touched it.

It's soft and bouncy.

It feels good.

"..."

A cold voice came from above.

"Have you touched enough?"

Luo Fan looked up.

He met a face that was dark and ruddy.
