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

"If you keep doing this, I'm not going to talk to you anymore."

Liu Linglong stomped her feet in embarrassment.

Yunxi chuckled softly, and the tense atmosphere in the hall finally eased a little.

Liu Linglong calmed her racing heart and then remembered something else.

"What about Kong Lingfei?"

She glanced weakly at Yunxi, "Didn't you promise to arrange a marriage for his disciple as long as we found that alchemist?"

"If you can't find one, why bestow a marriage upon them?"

Yunxi said calmly.

Liu Linglong immediately understood.

Senior sister is keeping this a secret, not exposing Luo Fan, and giving him room to grow.

"But...but..."

She was still a little hesitant.

"Junior sister, once a marriage is destined, it cannot be stopped."

Yunxi grasped her hand, her expression serious. "Are you willing to lose your innocence so easily and confusedly?"

Liu Linglong pursed her lips and remained silent.

That's definitely something to be unwilling to accept.

She didn't kill Luo Fan on the spot, even though her rationality had a slight advantage.

"At least, this incident has given us some insight into the little guy's secret."

She patted Liu Linglong on the shoulder, "And your relationship with him may very well be the strongest bond between him and the sect."

Liu Linglong fell silent.

She had to admit that her senior was right.

If Luo Fan is indeed that mysterious alchemy genius, then his significance to the sect far exceeds imagination.

Instead, by a twist of fate, she became the bargaining chip to keep him tied down.

"Then, can I still wear that dress?"

She hesitated for a moment, "What if he recognizes me?"

"Silly girl, if he didn't suspect anything, wouldn't all our efforts have been in vain?"

Yunxi smiled meaningfully, "What happened in the past will remain the same in the future. Just pretend you've forgotten about it."

Liu Linglong's eyes flickered slightly.

She understood the unspoken meaning in her senior's words.

This was meant to make Luo Fan guess that it was related to her, but not to be sure, and not to dare to ask.

Only when he is strong enough and confident enough to stand in front of her will he take the initiative to unveil this veil.

This is... to keep that little guy hanging... ugh...

Big guy.

"Did you leave him that Qi Condensation Pill?"

Yunxi suddenly asked.

Liu Linglong was taken aback. "I... forgot."

She was so ashamed and angry that she completely forgot about the elixir.

Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she whispered, "How about I go again tonight?"

"No need."

Yunxi answered decisively, "If he were that mysterious alchemist, the Qi Condensation Pill test wouldn't be difficult for him, so it would be better to..."

Let's use this assessment to confirm our guess.

Liu Linglong pouted, "But he's only at the first level of Qi Refining."

"At the first level of Qi Refining, you can create an elixir that would cause a Golden Core cultivator like yourself to lose your mind?"

Yunxi smiled enigmatically, "Level 1 Qi Refining can cure Qian Butong's accumulated fire poison from several days ago?"

She walked to the window and looked outside.

"That young man has ways to protect himself, making it impossible for us to see through his true level of cultivation."

"I suspect that the demon beast army that Bai Yatou subdued is related to him, maybe..."

"There is a deeper relationship between them."

Yunxi turned around and looked at Liu Linglong, "Junior sister, you don't want your innocence to be taken away, and in the end, you'll lose the other person too, right?"

Liu Linglong: "..."

Her cheeks flushed, and after a long while, she gave a soft "hmm".

"Senior sister, is your injury any better?"

Liu Linglong was too embarrassed to delve deeper into the topic.

He then said again, "How about we have him refine the pills you need?"

A hint of sadness flashed across Yunxi's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.

"My injury was caused by the backlash of my spiritual energy when I was disturbed by an external enemy during my seclusion to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."

"Ordinary pills are useless; only the Nine-Turn Soul-Condensing Pill can cure the disease completely. This pill is of the upper grade of the Profound rank and is extremely difficult to refine."

"Leaving aside whether Luo Fan can refine it, the main ingredient alone is something that is extremely rare and hard to come by."

"Over the years, we have only found the Lingzhi mushroom with the fire of the earth's core."

Liu Linglong frowned.

The three main ingredients of the Nine-Turn Soul-Condensing Pill are: Thousand-Year Snow Lotus, Earth Core Fire Lingzhi, and Mysterious Yin Netherworld Grass.

Each one is a rare and precious natural treasure.

They searched secretly for many years, but never managed to gather all the pieces.

"This matter is not urgent."

Yunxi sat back on the couch. "The most urgent task is to confirm Luo Fan's identity and see if he can pass the test."

She looked at Liu Linglong, a slight smile playing on her lips.

"Let's wait and see what happens in the assessment twenty days from now."

If he is, then he will become your future Daoist partner; if not…”

Yunxi's eyes turned slightly cold, and she didn't say anything more.

Liu Linglong understood that what she meant by those words was that Luo Fan's fate was in her hands.

Regardless of life or death, my senior sister will no longer interfere.

After all, from the perspective of her being the sect leader, she had already done everything she could.

Liu Linglong looked at Danfeng with a complicated expression.

At this moment, she really hoped that the guy was the alchemist.

so...

That little rascal who made her both ashamed and angry wasn't exactly disgracing herself.

Danfeng Peak, the sun high in the sky.

Luo Fan sat in the alchemy room and exhaled a breath of stale air.

He first used the Great Dao Furnace to restore his spiritual power, and then began to refine elixirs for Midozhi.

The furnace lid was opened, revealing a golden pill inside, with faint tiger stripes flowing across its surface, exuding a scorching and domineering aura.

Luo Fan picked up the pill, activated his Eye of Truth, and saw the medicinal power surging like a tide inside the pill.

It is also bound by some strange structure, forming only a small cyclone at the center.

"Hmm, it looks fine."

This elixir is quite special and perfectly matches the requirements of Mi Duozhi.

Even if the Eye of Truth cannot discern anything, given the special nature of this pill, there must be no problem.

"Hey bro, are you there? I'm coming!"

A clear and cheerful call came from outside the courtyard.

Luo Fan got up and went out to greet her, and saw that pretty figure, still wearing that fiery red dress and with her fair, long legs.

the difference is.

She wore a pair of soft boots of the same color, and her hair was tied up with a ribbon, giving her a more carefree air.

"Here you go, the spirit herb you requested!"

Seeing Luo Fan come out, she stuffed two storage bags, one large and one small, into his hands.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she pointed to one of the storage bags, "There are two hundred spirit stones in here, and I'll double the amount!"

She moved closer, and the fragrance of flowers wafted into Luo Fan's nostrils.

Looking up at her with her little face full of expectation, she asked, "Then...where are my pills?"

She secretly drew circles on Luo Fan's chest with one finger.

Luo Fan coughed lightly and took a half step back without making a sound. "Junior Sister, the pills you ordered."

Midozhi was overjoyed, holding it between her fingers to examine it, then holding it up to the sunlight.

"Young man, what kind of pill is this, and what is it used for?"

She looked at it from all angles but couldn't figure out what it was all about, but since the young man was making a move, it must be something extraordinary.

"Tiger Strength Bone Pills, once taken, can unleash all potential in a short period of time."

The recipe for the elixir came from Luo Fan's memories within Mo Chen's remnant soul.

He explained, "This pill will enhance your movement, defense, and strength, making you capable of fighting opponents of higher levels and taking on ten opponents at once."

What?

One against ten?

Doesn't that mean she can take on ten people by herself?

Moreover, this pill not only met my expectations but also far exceeded them.

No wonder the young man asked her to come back in three days.

He must have racked his brains for her these past three days, afraid that she would be disappointed.

Is this a medicinal pill?

Do not!

This is a deep affection for her!

"Senior brother~ You're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you."

She shook Luo Fan's arm, "How about you tell me how you want me to repay you, and I'll do it that way, okay?"

Her eyes shone like stars again.

Luo Fan felt a chill run down his spine and was about to retreat when a cold voice came from the courtyard gate.

"Is Junior Brother Luo there?"

They both turned their heads at the same time.

Bai Jie was already standing outside the courtyard gate at some point.

She wore a plain white dress with a silver sash around her waist, and her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall.

He stood there quietly, his gaze sweeping over the two people who were almost touching, and finally settling on Luo Fan's face.

Bai Jie's eyes were very calm, extremely calm, almost too calm.

Midozhi's fingers stiffened for a few seconds, but then tightened their grip even more.

She leaned almost half her body against Luo Fan's arm, a sweet smile blooming on her face.

"Oh, it's Senior Sister Bai! What brings you to Danfeng, Senior Sister?"

Bai Jie's gaze lingered for a moment on Luo Fan's arm, which was pressed against her.

"By order of the sect leader, convey the message to Junior Brother Luo."

Her tone became more indifferent, and she gave Luo Fan a deep look.

Luo Fan quickly broke free from the clingy grip, took two steps forward, and cupped his hands in greeting. "Thank you for coming all this way, Senior Sister. I am all ears."

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Bai Jie's gaze, which had just softened, turn sharp again.

But Midozhi moved closer to him again, almost shoulder to shoulder.
