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

A woman at the twelfth level of Qi Refining came to Danfeng in the middle of the night, and even... him?

Luo Fan shivered, a feeling of heartache shooting from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Yet, we have to accept a reality.

That is, he was raped by a Qi Refining stage woman of unknown origin!

What the hell is this?!

Who is that lecherous female hooligan he caught?

"Insightful Eyes, activate!"

Luo Fan exhaled a breath of stale air, and the world in his vision changed.

He saw extremely faint pink spiritual energy specks remaining in the air.

These points of light are arranged in a peculiar way, possessing a psychedelic and disturbing energy.

It's a trace of an array formation.

Even after it was violently broken open, the remaining traces of the formation remained.

Luo Fan's heart pounded, and his gaze swept across every corner of the courtyard.

The windows of the alchemy room, the peach tree, the cracks in the bluestone slabs...

He saw more broken, pale pink rune fragments.

These runes exude a high-level, exquisite Daoist charm, which is definitely not something an ordinary person can use.

However, the person who set up the formation seemed to be very careless, handling many key points haphazardly.

It felt like you didn't need to take him seriously at all.

and many more...

Proficient in battle formations.

The twelve layers of Qi Refining.

woman.

In Luo Fan's mind, all the evidence pointed to only one place.

Yao Feng!

In the entire Peach Blossom Temple, when it comes to the art of formations, especially illusion formations, Medicine Peak is the foremost!

Elder Liu Linglong of Medicine Peak is renowned for her mastery of the Thousand Illusions Linglong Formation.

It is said that a Golden Core cultivator once fell into it and could not get out for three days!

Instantly, Luo Fan gasped. It couldn't be...

What did Liu Linglong do to him?!

next second.

Luo Fan was amused by this absurd idea.

I really have wild imaginations. Who is Elder Liu? He's like someone who takes a dump with their face turned outwards... Ugh...

That was a supreme Golden Core cultivator!

The sect leader, Fairy Yunxi's, own junior sister!

Why would he come to Danfeng in the middle of the night, coveting a junior disciple of the sect?

Even traditional storytellers wouldn't dare write it like this!

Only Medicine Peak can train disciples who are proficient in illusion arrays!

Yes! It must be!

He is one of her disciples!

Who on earth was it?! Not only did they sneak into Danfeng in the dead of night, but they also used an illusion array on him!

"Medicine Peak! Qi Refining Level 12, female disciple! Don't let me find out who you are!"

The thought of that hazy, purple figure made Luo Fan's face turn green.

His eyes burned with rage.

His anger made his fists even harder!

Having long legs is nothing special!

Just because his legs are white doesn't mean you should ask his opinion!

He's the kind of person who can't resist someone who's good-looking!

If it's really that good-looking, let him see it for himself. What's the point of hiding it?

Wrong!

I felt incredibly frustrated!

They didn't know who the other person was, or what they looked like, only that they were related to Yao Feng!

Fuck!

Just you wait, once I get a little stronger, I'll find out who you are.

If I hadn't exhausted my spiritual energy last night, how could that female hooligan have taken advantage of my weakness!

He angrily kicked away a pebble at his feet; his immediate priority was to recover his spiritual power as quickly as possible.

Luo Fan took another deep breath, turned around and went back to the alchemy room.

Before we knew it, another hour or so had passed.

Yunmiao Palace is the palace of the sect leader, Fairy Yunxi.

The palace is located at the top of the main peak of Taohua Temple, and is shrouded in clouds and mist all year round, making it look like a fairyland.

Inside the hall at this moment.

Yunxi sat cross-legged on the white jade bed, her eyes slightly closed, her fingertips forming mysterious hand seals.

A moonlit spiritual energy flowed around him, weaving a hazy halo within the hall.

"Senior Sister!"

A tearful cry suddenly echoed outside the palace.

Yunxi opened her eyes and got out of bed, only to see a figure in emerald green burst open the palace door and pounce into her arms.

"exquisite?"

Liu Linglong hugged her tightly, burying her face in her shoulder, her shoulder trembling.

Yunxi patted her back, "What's wrong?"

Only then did she notice that her junior sister had changed her outfit today.

The iconic purple dress of the past was gone, replaced by a light green dress as elegant as a lotus flower.

A light green tube top, a sky-blue gauze dress, and a moon-white belt.

Even her sideburns changed from the charming, slanted cloud-like hair to the dignified, fallen horse-like hair.

Yunxi raised an eyebrow. "Why aren't you wearing your favorite outfit?"

Liu Linglong raised her head, her eyes red-rimmed.

Her amber eyes were filled with tears, and large, pearly tears rolled down her cheeks.

Her lips trembled, and her voice choked with sobs, "Senior sister, I...I...I slept with someone..."

"..."

Yunxi's beautiful eyes widened suddenly, her pupils trembling. "With...with whom?"

She, who is usually calm and composed, was unusually caught off guard.

Liu Linglong bit her lip, just looked at her with red eyes, and didn't say anything.

Yunxi's throat went dry, and an absurd thought flashed through her mind, "Could it be... Luo Fan?"

"Wow--!!"

Liu Linglong cried even louder and buried her head in Yunxi's arms again.

Yunxi gasped.

God...

What on earth is going on?!

She forced down the turmoil in her heart and helped Liu Linglong sit down on the edge of the bed.

He gathered a bit of calming and concentration spiritual energy at his fingertips and gently touched it to her brow.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly."

Liu Linglong sobbed and recounted, in broken sentences, what had happened at Danfeng the previous night.

How she suddenly decided to suppress her strength.

How to lay the groundwork for a dreamlike trap.

How could I be affected by that strange elixir?

How... I was eaten by someone without even realizing it.

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her face turned redder until she almost buried her face in her palms.

Yunxi listened quietly, her expression gradually changing from initial shock to gloom.

Then came bewilderment.

Then, a very faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"I see. Things might not be as bad as you think."

She said softly, "He might be the mysterious alchemist Elder Kong was talking about."

"Senior sister, I know you're trying to comfort me."

Liu Linglong was stunned for a moment, her eyes still blurry with tears.

Yunxi flicked her forehead with her finger. "You're usually so clever, how come you're so stupid this time?"

"..."

Liu Linglong covered her forehead, looking aggrieved and pouting.

"Didn't you realize at all that the pill you encountered last night was undoubtedly the Explosive Pill?"

A knowing glint flashed in Yunxi's eyes. "It's just different from ordinary pills; there are some...uncontrollable factors."

She added, "Elder Qian was the same yesterday. The Qingxin Pill he took was exceptionally effective, yet also unique."

Otherwise, given his personality, why wouldn't he have said anything about kicking Luo Fan out of the sect if Luo Fan was faking it?

Liu Linglong was stunned.

Yes.

Qian Butong's plan to have his senior sister order the demand for the Qingxin Pill from Danfeng was actually an attempt to use this opportunity to drive Luo Fan away.

But at that time, he didn't mention it at all, and he even awakened the Eye of Truth.

"You mean, he was the one who refined those pills, and..."

Liu Linglong's pupils contracted slightly. "You cured Qian Butong's fire poison and gave him a fortuitous opportunity?"

Yunxi smiled without saying a word; her expression said it all.

I wonder if the person who was spying on her yesterday was that little guy.

The aura contained in that gaze seemed to be the eye of truth, yet it was not the eye of truth.

The Eye of Truth cannot penetrate her spiritual defenses.

Liu Linglong's mind was buzzing, and the clues automatically connected.

The transformation of having money but not being able to get things done.

Kong Lingfei mentioned the changes in several outer sect disciples and their reactions after taking the pills.

There was also that bizarre, exploding pill that almost shattered her Dao heart.

They all point to the same person.

Luo Fan!

If that's the case, why didn't Qian Butong report the truth to his senior sister?

and many more!

That bastard did it on purpose!

He must have reached a confidentiality agreement with Luo Fan!

hateful!

Otherwise, she wouldn't have suffered such a mishap last night.

Thinking about everything that had happened, her pretty face flushed again.

"But then it all became clear?"

Yunxi said gently.

Liu Linglong bit her lip and nodded.

"I never thought that little guy could even fool me."

Yunxi sighed softly, but her eyes held a smile. "And Elder Li, he has never revealed his secret."

The hall was quiet for a moment.

Liu Linglong lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes with her fingers. "Senior sister, what... should I do?"

"Some things, once they've happened, are beyond our control."

Yunxi reached out and stroked her hair. "What happened last night was perhaps a kind of opportunity."

Opportunity?

Liu Linglong's eyes were filled with confusion.

"If you don't mind, wait until he grows up to be your equal..."

Yunxi looked at her and said, word by word, "Then why not become his Daoist partner?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Linglong's face turned completely red.

"I'm almost two hundred years old, and he's only a few years old..."

"Huh? You mean he's small?"

"Not...not small..."

Liu Linglong dared not raise her head, her pretty face burning.

A mischievous glint flashed in Yunxi's eyes. "What does Junior Sister mean?"

"..."
