Green bamboos lead into the secluded path, and blue vines brush against my clothes as I walk.

A figure in white sat cross-legged in a spacious clearing in the woods.

The girl's eyes were slightly closed, and her aura was naturally relaxed, as if she had become one with the bamboo forest.

Little Black rolled around beside her, sometimes pouncing on falling bamboo leaves, sometimes chasing insects that darted out of the grass, having a great time.

This should have been an extremely beautiful scene.

only...

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, a wisp of dark smoke rose again from the alchemy furnace in front of the girl in white, abruptly shattering the tranquil and refined scene.

"hateful!"

Lin Qingyu's temples bulged with veins, and he cursed under his breath.

The little black dog, who had been having a great time, suddenly stopped and retreated behind the boulder like a black lightning bolt, revealing its fluffy little head.

Master is so scary when he's refining pills!

Lin Qingyu's fingertips, which had been about to grab and knead the dough, suddenly found themselves empty, and she awkwardly withdrew her hand.

He then glared at Little Black, who was hiding in the distance. It was all Little Black's fault for making too much noise playing with the insects, which caused the supposedly sure alchemy to fail.

Lin Qingyu took out the alchemy manual again, her brows furrowed as she slowly turned the pages.

What exactly went wrong?

"Time difference".

Liu Guanzhi, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge rock in the distance, finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to remind him.

"There's nothing wrong with this ancient alchemy manual. Your divine sense is strong, and your control over the array and spiritual power is perfect, but the timing of adding the medicinal herbs is off."

three days ago.

As the two passed through the bamboo forest, Lin Qingyu's eyes lit up, declaring that this was definitely a sacred place for alchemy.

Three whole days passed, and she hadn't even managed to refine a single first-tier pill...

"If you can do it, then you do it!"

Lin Qingyu disagreed.

Alchemy is one thing, but alchemy with formations is another; it's not something you can do just by talking about it!

Liu Guanzhi did not speak, but raised his hand and beckoned, and the alchemy furnace in front of Lin Qingyu slowly flew to his side.

Then...

A young woman in white watched as the other party performed a series of fluid and skillful actions. In just the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, one fragrant and vibrant pill after another was quickly produced.

"You can actually use formations and refine pills?"

Lin was greatly surprised.

"I won't."

Liu Guanzhi slowly shook his head.

"That..."

Seemingly understanding the uncertainty in her eyes, the gloomy middle-aged man nodded honestly.

"I learned it from watching you refine it."

Lin Qingyu remained silent. She looked up at the azure sky, her perspective at a 30-degree angle.

If melancholy had a color, it would definitely be blue.

"Hehehe~ Just surrender obediently."

At that moment, a strange laugh that was extremely offensive entered her consciousness, interrupting the sadness of a certain teenage girl.

good good!

Lin Qingyu felt that he was about to achieve enlightenment, but to interrupt the thinking of a future alchemy master at this moment was simply courting death!

She moved with lightning speed, instantly taking away Xiao Hei and the alchemy furnace, before transforming into a streak of blood-red light that streaked straight into the sky.

"What are you standing there for? Follow me."

Hearing the voice transmission in his ear, Liu Guanzhi rubbed his temples.

He didn't know what had happened, but a few days ago, this Nascent Soul cultivator stood there for a moment, and his personality seemed... well, much more lively.

Never mind, the Gu worms are more important.

Liu Guanzhi composed himself and quickly followed.

Lin Qingyu naturally had no idea what he was thinking, and even if she did, it wouldn't matter, since she wasn't using the real name of the Righteous Fairy now.

The epiphany she had a few days ago made her understand a principle.

There's no need to act all the time in life; it's better to be more relaxed.

Cast aside old shackles, and the world will be vast and boundless.

Although the enlightenment in her mind did not bring any substantial improvement in strength, Lin Qingyu felt that her spiritual energy was circulating more smoothly and that even her soul was much clearer.

As for alchemy... that was just an accident and doesn't count.

Of course, for the sake of the main quest, the image of the aloof fairy of the Sword Sect must be maintained.

Lin Qingyu moved extremely fast, arriving at the edge of a cliff in just a few breaths.

In the canyon below, several figures in black robes were surrounding a woman.

The woman's white dress was soaked with blood. She leaned against the cold rock wall, her breath weak, clearly at her last gasp.

There were about seven or eight black-robed men surrounding her, all of whom were experts at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

The leader was an elderly man with a gloomy face and white hair. His aura was extremely powerful, and he was clearly a genuine Golden Core cultivator.

"Miss Ning, what's your decision?"

The white-haired old man had a cold gaze.

"If you hand over what that lord demands, I'll give you a quick death; otherwise..."

"dream!"

Before he could finish speaking, the woman spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva.

"If you have the guts, kill me. My father will grind you all to dust sooner or later."

A revenge killing?

Lin Qingyu watched this scene with boredom, having no intention of making a move.

Liu Guanzhi, who had just arrived, also heard these words, but his expression remained unchanged.

There are too many injustices in the world. If we always have good intentions, then we don't need to cultivate ourselves.

Moreover, without knowing the whole story, and only hearing one side of the story, it's impossible to judge who is right and who is wrong.

"Let's go."

Lin Qingyu withdrew her gaze and prepared to turn and leave.

"You need to think this through. That person is a big shot from the Wuxiang Tower. You, a Ning family, don't even have a Nascent Soul cultivator."

At this point, the old man gave a sinister smile.

"The only outcome will be self-destruction!"

Wuxiang Tower.

Lin Qingyu paused, and under Liu Guanzhi's questioning gaze, snorted coldly:

"Damn old bastard, how dare you disturb my enlightenment?"

Seeing that the woman remained silent, the old man's last bit of patience was completely exhausted. Just as he was about to start searching her soul, a terrifying pressure suddenly descended from the sky.

"Buzz~!"

A deafening sonic boom echoed through the air.

"Who is it?"

He looked up, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

A streak of red light, carrying a destructive force, crashed into the canyon where the group was, like a falling star.

The old man felt as if he were locked in place by a powerful aura, unable to move an inch.

"No!!!"

He roared, his spiritual energy surging wildly as he tried to erect a defensive spiritual shield.

"boom!"

A loud bang shook the entire canyon.

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky, and the black-robed men who were at the Foundation Establishment stage were immediately thrown back by a scorching wave of air, crashing into the rock wall and slowly sliding down, where they died on the spot.

The woman was protected by a beam of spiritual light and was completely unharmed.

The canyon fell into a deathly silence as the smoke and dust slowly dissipated.


At her feet, the previously arrogant white-haired old man lay sprawled on the ground like a dead dog, his fate unknown...
