Enduring humiliation for three years, seizing the elixir, the treasure, and the holy maiden.

The door closed gently.

Outside the window stands an old pine tree, its needles still damp from the mountain breeze.

Lin Zhiya's delicate figure lay on her side on the soft couch.

I was in a daze the whole way, and it took me until now to come to my senses.

Beneath the gauze skirt, a pair of jade-like legs kicked forward fiercely, causing the skirt to swell up.

"This holy maiden..."

"You're not even as good as a lowly mortal like me!"

"snort!"

That hum was soft and delicate, and even she herself felt a little breathless.

...

The green flames inside the alchemy furnace licked the furnace wall, making a sizzling sound.

Su Chen stepped into the main hall of the Luoyun Sect and saw this scene.

The three-legged alchemy furnace stood in the center of the hall, its mouth shimmering with five-colored light.

Countless rare and precious herbs were continuously refined in the furnace, and the pure medicinal fragrance was so strong that it was almost impossible to dissolve.

Upon seeing Su Chen enter, Li Changfeng waved his hand.

"Come, come, come."

Su Chen had a strange feeling of familiarity about it.

Before transmigrating to this world, the original owner's memories were still intact.

once Upon a time.

At that time, the old master Deng in front of me suppressed his cultivation and disguised himself as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

It was also within this main hall that she waved to Su Chen in this manner.

The original owner at that time was just a piece of elm wood.

They have no idea how much good fortune they have.

He was not favored by any of the elders in the sect.

Before Su Chen could finish recalling, he glanced at the furnace.

Su Chen didn't recognize most of the things being refined in the furnace.

The blue herb has star-like shimmering spots of light on its leaves.

A beast core the size of a fist, with a wandering arc of lightning sealed inside.

These are undoubtedly rare and precious materials.

But Su Chen's current experience.

What kind of material could possibly be worth Su Chen's attention?

But these strange materials...

Such a rare find!

Su Chen couldn't help but think of Li Tianqi.

That girl, Li Ziran, as a Grand Cultivator of the Void Refinement Realm, used up all the top-tier spiritual treasures of the Xuanhuang Continent.

All for the purpose of nurturing Li Tianqi.

Back when Li Tianqi almost drained me dry time and time again.

In order to greatly replenish his energy, Li Ziran showed Su Chen almost all the top-tier spiritual objects from the lower realm.

But none of them can compare to anything right in front of me right now.

If I were to take this back, wow!

Unfortunately, now is not the time to take advantage of the loopholes.

Let's talk about it after we get to the upper realm.

"These are all spiritual beings from the spirit world."

Li Changfeng didn't shy away from it; in fact, he was quite boastful.

"Now everything is ready."

"Only the last piece of the spiritual vein source is missing."

Li Changfeng pointed his finger at the stove.

"Once everything is gathered, my new physical body can be reconstructed."

Su Chen listened quietly and changed the subject.

"Those two cultivators from the upper realm..."

Li Changfeng glanced at him and sneered.

"The Holy Maiden of the Haori Sect, and the disciple of my senior brother."

"She was raised in seclusion for thousands of years, and became extremely spoiled."

"Letting her out in the open and defusing her arrogance will do her a good job."

"Having just arrived at my Luoyun Sect, you immediately resort to intimidation and show off your power; you have no manners whatsoever!"

Li Changfeng picked up a cup of tea that had long since gone cold and took a sip.

"I know that this girl must have brought news from the upper realm with her when she came down to the mortal world."

"but."

The teacup was placed back on the table.

"Nothing is more important than what I have to do right now."

Su Chen nodded.

Only then did he slowly and deliberately take out the ink jade slip from his sleeve.

"This disciple has found it on this trip."

"The source of the spiritual veins of the Xuanhuang Continent."

"The map is right here in the library."

"only......"

Su Chen held the jade slip in his palm but did not hand it over.

Li Changfeng's brows immediately furrowed into a knot.

"You little brat!"

"No one gets up early without a reason!"

"You weren't like this when you were my student."

The old man stared at Su Chen for a long time, then suddenly sighed, and most of the anger on his face dissipated.

"That's enough, that's enough."

"Speak."

What do you want?

...

Su Chen had already figured out what he wanted.

"I will not hide my thoughts from you, Master."

"All my cultivation is ultimately for the path to immortality."

"This disciple wishes to ascend to the higher realms."

Su Chen paused.

"That Master Hongfu, who is at the Integration Realm, is also somewhat acquainted with me."

"She went to the Upper Realm in her early years and was suppressed by her master."

"This disciple wishes to go to the upper realm and pursue the path to immortality."

"If my master could personally lead me up there, that would be the best outcome."

Li Changfeng rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes.

"You actually know that female cultivator."

It was impossible to tell whether he was angry or happy from his tone.

"He's just a Nascent Soul cultivator."

"I have lost all interest in her now."

"It's just taking you up there, kid..."

"In the upper realm, it is difficult for rogue cultivators to move an inch, and they are squeezed out by everyone at every turn."

"Then you shall join the Haori Sect."

"Still my true disciple."

Su Chen also considered it.

His master was known for being fiercely protective of his own in the Luoyun Sect in his early years.

She does genuinely care for herself.

But the world of cultivation is incredibly cruel.

Su Chen naturally harbored some affection for Li Changfeng.

However, I dare not entrust this affection entirely.

In the eyes of a Mahayana cultivator, a hundred years is but a fleeting moment.

What's the value of a mere few decades of teacher-student relationship?

If he truly plunged into the Haori Sect and became a true disciple of this Mahayana stage cultivator.

Who knows, maybe that old man is secretly eyeing something on my body.

At the very least, they could easily get caught up in those unclear and complicated sect disputes.

But even so.

Cultivators are a group of people who defy the heavens.

Su Chen is determined to go to the Upper Realm.

"I have a second matter to discuss."

Su Chen raised his eyes.

"This disciple needs a magical artifact to protect himself."

Li Changfeng burst into laughter, laughing so hard that his old bones swayed.

"You brat, isn't this furious blue robe you're wearing enough?"

"This treasure is the most precious treasure of the demon race."

"It looks like a treasure of a Void Refinement cultivator."

"In fact, if this Furious Scale Green Robe can be completely refined, it is comparable to a treasure of the Integration Realm."

"It's a pity."

Li Changfeng shook his head.

"Those demons in the lower realm have no idea where this treasure came from."

"Holding a mountain of gold, yet using it as a broken stone."

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat.

He himself hadn't figured out the true nature of the man in the green robe with angry scales.

I never imagined it had such an origin.

"but."

Li Changfeng changed the subject.

"I don't have any suitable protective magic weapon for you here."

"Furthermore, the spiritual energy in this world is scarce, making it extremely difficult to completely refine this green robe."

"so."

"I agree."

"When we return to the Upper Realm, I will personally refine this Angry Scale Green Robe for you."

Su Chen nodded.

He was satisfied with the answer.

"The last one."

Su Chen's voice suddenly deepened.

"Disciple swears an oath to Master with a sincere heart for the Dao."

"I would never harbor any other thoughts towards my disciple."

"Cultivators are always on the verge of life and death."

"With Master's cultivation level, he wants to attack his disciple?"

"It's just crushing an ant."

...
