The Goddess Chronicles: Starting by Holding the Fairy's Fate in His Hands

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

Three flashes of cold light appeared.

Before the demonic beasts could even react, each of them had a small hole between its eyebrows and fell straight down.

Even the Azure Moon Wolf, which was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, only had time to tilt its head before collapsing to the ground with a thud.

Pang Shiliu's mouth opened slightly, and she was stunned for a moment, but a hint of smugness flashed quickly in her eyes.

Turning around, her expression immediately changed to one of surprise and admiration. "Senior Brother Lin! Oh my god, it really is you! Thank you so much! You're so handsome!"

Lin Yi snorted and, without even lifting his eyelids, bent down and began rummaging through the pile of monster materials on the ground.

These are all hard currency; they can be exchanged for spirit stones, pills, cultivation techniques, etc., back at the sect...

Seeing that he was ignoring her, Pang Shiliu angrily stomped her foot on the ground. "Hey! You think you're so great just because you saved my life?"

Lin Yi then lazily turned around. "Me, arrogant?"

He took a step forward, and the sheer pressure he exuded forced Pang Shiliu to take a half-step back.

"You secretly followed me, treated me like your personal bodyguard, and then yelled at me?"

"I didn't follow you!"

Pang Shiliu was stubborn, but her voice became increasingly weak as she spoke.

Before he finished speaking, a wicked smile flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.

A figure flashed, and Pang Shiliu's vision went black as she was flipped over and pressed face down onto his thigh.

"Huh?! What are you doing?!"

She panicked and kicked her legs.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, clean slap landed squarely on that round, pert spot.

"Ouch!"

She cried out in surprise, her entire face instantly burning up.

"Lin Yi! You're finished!"

"Slap! Slap!"

Two more times.

"Was it wrong to secretly follow me?"

"Ouch... I was wrong, I was wrong! Be gentle! It hurts!"

Her voice was trembling with tears.

Pang Shiliu was both ashamed and anxious, tears streaming down her face, but her body went limp.

A warm, comforting energy coursed through her body from the spot where she had been struck, sending shivers down her spine.

Lin Yi struck a few times, then suddenly stopped.

Why isn't this girl moving?

He laughed and immediately let go.

Pang Shiliu sprang away, one hand covering her backside and the other wiping away tears. "You filthy scoundrel! You just wait... this isn't over!"

He uttered a weak but firm remark, then turned and ran, just like a frightened kitten with its fur standing on end.

Lin Yi watched her retreating figure and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That little loli, she feels really nice to touch!"

He held his breath and plunged into the deep mountains and forests.

Just as I rounded a bend in the mountain pass, my steps came to an abrupt halt!

In a crevice in the cliff, a magical herb sways gently, with a shimmering, iridescent fruit hanging from its branch.

"Mysterious Essence Fruit! The main ingredient for Foundation Establishment Pills!"

Moreover, once planted in the spiritual spring space, it immediately becomes your own vegetable garden!

He clenched his fist, and had just taken half a step...

"stop!"

A sharp shout came crashing down on him.

Lin Yi turned around and saw a woman wearing the inner robe of the Dan Ding Sect landing on a sword light, her cultivation level clearly at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.

She glanced at the Profound Essence Fruit, her eyes lighting up. "I'll take this fruit!"

"Since you found out early, here's ten low-grade spirit stones for you. Take them and get lost."

Lin Yi almost burst out laughing. "Senior sister, I discovered this first! You're being so unreasonable!"

"Reasoning? What right do you, a lowly outer sect servant, have to reason?"

The woman sneered, "In the world of cultivation, might makes right!"

"If you don't leave now, you won't get a single spirit stone!"

Lin Yi's eyes darkened instantly.

Okay, let's see whose fist is harder!

With a flick of his wrist, three throwing knives shot out into the air!

The woman had no idea he would dare to make a move, and hastily formed a hand seal to block the attack.

Less than two breaths later.

She had a bloody gash on her left arm and staggered backward.

"you……!"

Lin Yi originally intended to stop, take the fruit, and leave.

Suddenly, she screamed at the top of her lungs, "Senior brother! Come quick! Someone has hurt me!"

Before he could finish speaking, a sudden gust of wind arose.

A burly male cultivator descended from the sky, unleashing his late-stage Foundation Establishment aura!

He caught sight of the blood on the woman's arm and instantly flew into a rage, "You bastard! How dare you hurt my Daoist partner? Today I'll tear your soul out and refine your bones!"

Lin Yi's heart tightened.

The opponent's level is far superior; a direct confrontation would inevitably result in a great loss.

In a flash, he made up his mind.

Pretending to be unable to withstand the attack, he retreated while circling around.

A hidden wisp of spiritual energy silently shot out from his sleeve and disappeared into the direction of the wolf den not far away.

The myriad medicinal energies are a death sentence for the Azure Moon Wolf!

"Awooo...!!!"

The howl of wolves ripped through the silence!

In the blink of an eye, dozens of scarlet wolf eyes lit up, and dark shadows pounced from all directions.

"Oh no! It's a pack of wolves!"

The man and woman were both deathly pale.

Take advantage of that fleeting moment when their minds are wavering.

Lin Yi flashed out like a ghost, grabbed the Xuan Yuan Fruit whole, roots and all, and stuffed it into the spiritual spring space in the blink of an eye!

"Thank you so much, senior brothers and sisters, for stopping the wolf for me. I will always remember your kindness!"

He laughed loudly, threw out two speed-traveling talismans, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"You little beast! I'll skin you alive!"

Behind them, only deafening roars and howls of wolves filled the air as they fought.

……

In the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, in a very deep cave.

Lin Yi dashed into the Spirit Spring Small World, and his heart pounded as soon as he touched the Xuan Yuan Fruit.

He held his breath, gently planted the fruit in the center of the spiritual field, then scooped up a small ladle of spiritual spring water and slowly poured it down.

"Buzz—!"

The moment the water touched the roots, the whole seedling came to life!

The leaves suddenly turned a bright green.

The fruit turned from green to moist, and a medicinal fragrance wafted into the nose.

In the blink of an eye, the fruit had grown to the level of a hundred-year-old ginseng.

"It's done! Hahaha!"

Lin Yi almost jumped three feet high on the spot.

What's even more amazing is that the medicinal herb seeds that were sown earlier also took advantage of this spiritual energy and rushed out of the ground, their tender shoots standing straight.

"I'm at most a first-tier alchemist; I'm really not confident about making a Foundation Establishment Pill!"

He scratched his chin, but he was quite calm inside.

With the spiritual spring space as a safety net, all the medicinal herbs are top-of-the-line.

He had thoroughly studied Tao Mengdie's alchemy notes.

In addition, he possesses the innate fire-controlling magical body.

It would be unreasonable if these conditions weren't met.

But the question is, where did the prescription come from?

Where can we find the necessary ingredients?

"Alright, I still have to make a trip to Bao'an City to borrow some money from Sister Mengdie."

Once he made up his mind, Lin Yi darted out and disappeared in a flash.

……

Bao'an City.

As soon as Tao Mengdie saw Lin Yi enter, her eyes lit up immediately. "Brother Lin Yi! You're here?"

But beneath those arched eyebrows, there was always a hint of melancholy.

After chatting for a while, I learned that she had been obsessed with a precious elixir lately, but the main ingredient was just a tiny bit off in age, and all her attempts to refine it were ruined after seven or eight tries.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, but his face remained unchanged. "What a coincidence! I picked up a few decent medicinal herbs while I was out the other day. Do you think they'd be suitable?"

He said he found it.

Secretly, he had already stuffed the elixir that Tao Mengdie wanted into the spiritual spring to accelerate its ripening, pushing it to its full maturity in one go.

He then handed the century-old medicinal herb to Tao Mengdie.

The little girl was stunned. "This year?! Brother Lin Yi, this is wonderful!"

"By the way, Brother Lin Yi, is there something you need my help with this time?"

Lin Yi didn't beat around the bush and directly told the truth.

Tao Mengdie was decisive and efficient.

Dan Fang immediately copied a copy, then dragged him to the warehouse, where they picked and chose, gathering a full ten portions of the ingredients for the Foundation Building Pill.

"Brother Lin Yi, Foundation Establishment Pills are too difficult to refine. Why don't you let my grandfather try?"

She gazed at him longingly.

Lin Yi felt a surge of warmth in his heart, but he smiled and waved his hand, "Thank you, Sister Mengdie! I feel more at ease doing it myself."

When Lin Yi left with the prescription and medicinal herbs in his hand, his steps were noticeably lighter.

He turned into a desolate, overgrown forest and found a secluded crevice in the rocks to sit down.

Before establishing his foundation, he decided to leave Ye Qingwan and An Xinyue out of the loop for a while.

Why?

The essence of all medicines is too precious to be used indiscriminately.

Besides, the further you chase, the colder it gets, and the stickier it becomes.

Let the two fairies taste what it's like to suddenly disappear.

Having made up his mind, he turned around and charged into the depths of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range again.

The alchemy furnace is set up; let's get started!

He first tested the second-tier Spirit Gathering Pill.

Half of the ingredients were provided by Tao Mengdie, and the other half were freshly harvested from their own spiritual fields.

The results of it?

One furnace, two furnaces, three furnaces... every furnace is bursting with grains, each one round and plump, with medicinal purity all above 90%!

"Is my alchemy talent some kind of cheat code?"

Even he himself was stunned.

After more than a dozen batches...

His technique was as smooth as stir-frying vegetables.

But this amount of supplies is far too little for the nine spiritual roots within him!

Lin Yi calmed down and, following the instructions in the "Myriad Manifestations of Heaven and Earth Technique," awakened his spiritual root one by one.

Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Yin and Yang – all nine spiritual roots are awakened!

The spiritual energy within his body exploded.

It surges like a river, and is as vast as the sea.

The difference between them is clearly only a thin layer of paper, easily broken with a single poke, yet this layer of paper is as hard as an iron wall.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, let out a long sigh, "After all that work, I'm stuck here..."

"Does it really require a Foundation Establishment Pill to open this door?"

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Inside the Spirit Spring space, everything was ready.

He took a deep breath and reached out to pluck the Xuan Yuan Fruit that had already absorbed spiritual energy!

"Open the furnace!"

Lin Yi roared, and flames suddenly ignited in his palm.

Adding auxiliary ingredients, decocting the medicinal liquid, adding the main ingredient... the whole process is incredibly smooth!

"Buzz...!"

The alchemy furnace trembled slightly, and the moment the lid was lifted, a burst of elixir fragrance sent shivers down one's spine.

Ten Foundation Building Pills lay quietly at the bottom of the furnace, each one as plump as mutton fat jade, with a genuine medicinal purity of over 90%!

Ten grains per batch, each one a top-quality product!

Lin Yi's hand trembled, and he grabbed one and threw it into his mouth.

The elixir transformed into a stream, surging downwards...

Then?

Gone!

It's like a drop of water falling into a desert that's been dry for a hundred years; not even a bubble appears!
