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

"That's what the sect says to the outside world."

Li Chishui, the master of Danfeng Peak.

He was obsessed with alchemy throughout his life.

Ultimately, while refining a batch of Xuan-grade pills, he suffered a mental breakdown and went into a qi deviation, resulting in the destruction of the pills and his death.

Everyone in the sect held this view.

"It was the old man who was out there searching for a suitable spiritual treasure for me when he encountered the demonic cultivators of the Soul-Slaying Hall."

"The old man said that although I am not very talented, I have a strong will and am a good candidate for alchemy."

It's just that it lacks a suitable natal spiritual treasure, preventing it from unleashing its full potential.

He kept it a secret from everyone and left the sect alone, going to the most dangerous Burial Soul Abyss in the Eastern Spirit Domain.

That was once an ancient battlefield where countless cultivators perished; it is said that spiritual treasures may appear there.

"He returned six months later."

Luo Fan closed his eyes, as if he could see the old man covered in blood again.

He staggered into the alchemy room and shoved the palm-sized furnace into his hands.

"Fan'er...this...is for you..."

"well…"

"Survive..."

As he recalled it now, the old man's voice seemed to echo in his ears again.

Luo Fan quietly withdrew his fist and continued talking to Bai Jie with a calm expression.

"The old man never mentioned a word about these things to me, perhaps because he was afraid I would seek revenge, or perhaps because he was afraid I would live with hatred."

At this point, he chuckled to himself, "Given the old man's personality, what he's really afraid of is probably not seeing me feel guilty about this."

"Later, I learned the truth through some events. The old man burned his divine soul and fought the other party to the point of mutual destruction before he returned."

"From that day on, I swore an oath: I will kill every member of the Demonic Sect I see!"

Bai Jie stared at him blankly.

She had never heard Luo Fan mention this matter.

Only now did I understand why he hated demonic cultivators so much, and why he was willing to risk his life to kill Yin Gu.

That wasn't impulsiveness or recklessness; it was a deep-seated hatred.

It is a disciple's promise to his master, and an obsession that blood debts must be repaid in blood.

It's no wonder that Elder Li, who claimed to have been in seclusion for half a year, suddenly passed away after emerging from seclusion.

Luo Fan looked at Bai Jie, "The old man had a wish before he passed away. I can't do it alone, but Senior Sister can definitely do it."

"What?"

Bai Jie looked at the seriousness in his eyes and asked instinctively.

Luo Fan held her hand. "The old man said he wants to be able to drink at my wedding with his apprentice's wife."

Swish!

Bai Jie's pretty face instantly flushed red, and she also felt a little secretly pleased.

She didn't give Luo Fan a direct answer, but she showed everything through her actions.

She buried her face in his shoulder and whispered, "From now on, I'll kill alongside you."

Luo Fan looked at her and smiled.

The two embraced on the riverbank, the water flowing gently, and time seemed to stand still.

for a long time.

Bai Jie then got up and left that embrace.

"Your injury?"

"It's alright."

Luo Fan stood up and stretched his limbs.

His smile was like a gentle spring breeze. "Shall we go home?"

"Yes, let's go home."

She tightened her grip on Luo Fan's hand, and the longsword flashed with light.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, in a gloomy underground palace.

Deep within the underground palace.

One by one, the blood-red soul lamps burned silently, each lamp representing a core member of the Soul Killing Hall.

Sudden.

Snapped!

One of the soul lamps swayed violently before going out completely with a "poof".

Three small characters are engraved on the lamp base.

Black Wind Envoy.

A hoarse voice rang out from the darkness.

"The Black Wind Envoy is dead."

"check."

"Who killed him?"

"Find him."

The sound lingered in the underground palace for a long time.

Several dark figures emerged from various parts of the underground palace, then turned into black smoke and disappeared.

the other side.

Peach Blossom Viewpoint is located a hundred miles away.

A beam of moon-white sword light streaked across the sky; it was Luo Fan and Bai Jie on their way home.

"There are fluctuations in spiritual energy ahead, it seems like a fight is taking place."

Luo Fan suddenly spoke, his Eye of Truth already seeing the scene several miles away.

Bai Jie's sword flashed, and she flew towards the direction of the ripples.

The two landed on an ancient tree not far away, concealed their presence, and looked down at the valley below.

in the valley.

More than twenty low-level cultivators, dressed in rags and with fierce faces, surrounded a girl in a red dress.

The young woman wore a fiery red dress and held a twelve-foot-long spear, its tip touching the ground, displaying a heroic and spirited demeanor.

Her long hair was tied in a high ponytail, with a few stray strands sticking to her forehead, and her chest heaving, indicating that she had been engaged in a fierce battle for some time.

Seven or eight bandits lay sprawled on the ground, while fifteen or sixteen remained.

Moreover, each of them possessed considerable strength, with the leader being a burly man with a scarred face whose cultivation had reached the sixth level of Qi Refining.

"You little wench, surrender obediently, and I might even leave you a whole corpse!"

The scarred, burly man grinned maliciously, his broadsword gleaming coldly. "I'm looking for a wife to take as my head bandit leader, and someone as beautiful as you is a rare find, almost perfect."

"Pah!"

Midozhi spat.

She flicked the tip of her spear, raising an eyebrow, "You rabble dare to lay a finger on me? I wouldn't be afraid of ten more of you!"

Even so, she secretly groaned.

These bandits were not highly skilled, but they were excellent at teamwork and had a large number of members.

Using her spear and agile movements, she had already taken down seven or eight people.

Unfortunately, their spiritual energy was being depleted too much, and if they dragged this out any longer, defeat would be inevitable.

"It seems that we have no choice but to use that pill."

She took out the Tiger Strength Bone Pill that Luo Fan had given her from her storage bag.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.

boom!

A violent surge of heat swept through her entire body, causing her muscles and bones to throb and her blood to boil!

Midozhi felt as if her whole body was filled with inexhaustible power.

The spiritual energy that had been consumed was fully replenished, and there was even a slight breakthrough!

Come on!

She held her spear horizontally, the tip pointing directly at the bandits, her eyes burning with fighting spirit.

"This time, I'm going to take on ten!"

"Let's go together and take her down!"

At the bandit leader's command, all ten bandits drew their swords and knives!

With a sharp cry, Midozhi unleashed her spear with the speed of a dragon.

boom! boom! boom!

Three bandits were swept away by gun barrels and crashed into trees with screams.

"cut!"

Midozhi curled her lip. "With such meager skills, you dare to try and become bandits? Who gave you the courage?"

Her confidence soared, and her marksmanship became even more formidable.

The remaining seven had already formed an encirclement, and swords flashed from all directions.

Her marksmanship was quite excellent, but she couldn't fight off four opponents with her bare hands and gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"What happened?"

Midozhi was dumbfounded.

Where did her power go?

Distracted, she was kicked in the back. After the spear touched the ground, she kicked back with one leg.

At this moment, her breathing became erratic.

"This woman isn't going to make it!"

A tall, thin bandit shouted, "Third brother, fourth brother, sixth brother, come and help!"

Three more people joined the battle.

It's ten against one again.

Midozhi suddenly felt that the power she had lost had miraculously returned.

Her spear thrust was swift and powerful once more, piercing a man's shoulder and sending him flying.

Nine against one.

She felt strained again.

When another person stepped up to fill the gap, her power returned.

Before the bandits who had joined her could even get close, she sent them flying.

"Oh no! She's deliberately feigning weakness!"

The scarred man saw through the situation and shouted, "Attack her all at once! Don't give her a chance to breathe!"

The rest of the group rushed forward.

A dozen or so people surrounded Midozhi.

The air was thick with the clash of swords and the shadows of spears.

Midozhi was in dire straits, facing numerous dangers.

Her red dress was torn in several places, revealing her snow-white skin and faint bloodstains.

Midozhi complained bitterly.

We can't defeat one more enemy.

We can't win even if we lose one.

Could this be a side effect of the pill that you took, young man?

This is outrageous!

No, we have to think of a way!

Otherwise, she would really be captured by these bandits and made their wife!

She also heard that these bandits had a peculiar habit: they shared both good times and bad.

There are women... coming along?

Midozhi shivered.

No! Absolutely not!

She can only take the shape of the little brother!

On an ancient tree.

Bai Jie's lips curled up slightly, and when she looked at Luo Fan, a red glint flashed in her eyes.

"Looks like this little girl's in trouble. Should I help her?"

"Uh... I think these people are good practice opportunities for Junior Sister Mi."

Luo Fan chuckled awkwardly, "Besides, she took Tiger Strength and Bone Pills, so she should be fine."

"I think so too."

Bai Jie's smile this time was truly captivating, and the red glint in her eyes had faded.

Luo Fan chuckled twice and looked down at the battlefield.

Bai Jie also looked at Mi Duozhi, seemingly lost in thought, "What are the wonderful uses of your pills?"

"Tiger Strength and Bone Pills can significantly increase strength and endurance in a short period of time."

However, it seems there are some minor side effects.

Luo Fan rubbed his nose. "That means we have to fight ten of them. We'll be at a disadvantage if we fight one more or one less."

Bai Jie raised an eyebrow. "There are such pills?"

"It was an accident, purely an accident."

Luo Fan chuckled and scratched his head.

Bai Jie rolled her eyes. What might be unexpected for others was, to him…

This is a basic operation!
