After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

As she said this, Liu Ruoci's gaze fell on everyone.

He could see it more clearly than the disciples on duty.

Besides looking travel-worn and fleeing, each of them had some injuries—although they tried to cover them up, some marks were still visible on their wrists or necks.

Liu Ruoci, being a medical cultivator, easily sensed that their situation was definitely not good.

But I still pretended to be friendly and asked a question even though I already knew the answer.

Hengyangzi stepped forward, smiled slightly, and said respectfully and amicably, "Young Valley Master Liu, I have brought these young disciples to your Medicine King Valley to seek refuge there."

Liu Ruoci thought to herself: Just as I thought.

He led the group towards the stone table and chairs near the pavilion, asking in surprise, "How could this be? What happened to you at the Xuantian Sect?"

Hengyangzi and Wen Heng sat down.

He poured himself a cup of tea with a grim expression, and after drinking it, he said angrily, "When Xuantian Sect changed its sect leader, Luo Zhenhuan took away all my power. She even ruthlessly eliminated my disciples and trusted followers, replacing them with her own people."

"I, a dignified Nascent Soul cultivator and once the sect leader of the Xuan Tian Sect, have been placed in a humiliating position by her. Therefore, we have decided to come to Medicine King Valley to seek refuge with you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruoci said with a sympathetic expression, "That's really terrible. However, I'm afraid Medicine King Valley can't take you in... The disciples of Medicine King Valley are all direct and collateral descendants of the Liu family..."

Hengyangzi looked up and said, "There are always exceptions, aren't there? Besides, we've brought some big news, and we want to exchange it for a place to stay. Valley Master Liu, don't worry, we don't have any ulterior motives."

"We chose Medicine King Valley because we were humiliated by Luo Huanzhen and were filled with anger and resentment. We are willing to become Medicine King Valley's weapons, following its lead and helping you deal with Luo Huanzhen!"

Liu Ruoci smiled.

He really needs to deal with Luo Huanzhen.

In his dream, a voice repeatedly urged him to eliminate Luo Huanzhen, or everything would be over.

Therefore, even if there is no enmity between the two, he will take the initiative to plot against Luo Huanzhen.

It's interesting that someone is offering themselves up as a weapon.

Liu Ruoci smiled slightly: "Senior, what valuable information have you brought? You can tell me, I'd like to hear if it's worth it."

Hengyangzi then spoke of the existence of an unparalleled treasure in the Eastern Continent, which could influence the fortune of anyone who came into contact with it.

Liu Ruoci's eyes brightened slightly: "This is indeed a lot of valuable information, and I'm willing to accept it."

Hengyangzi, Wen Heng, and their disciples breathed a sigh of relief.

Great! Finally, there's a place to take them in. They're exhausted after such a long and arduous journey.

Liu Ruoci stood up: "Come with me, I'll take you to your accommodation."

He walked and introduced the place as he went.

"Medicine King Valley is very large, with many unused rooms and caves. There is a large cave on one of the hills that can accommodate about a hundred people."

"I was worried that you might feel awkward or uncomfortable interacting with the other people in Medicine King Valley, so this place is perfect for you all to stay together. You won't have to separate anymore."

Everyone expressed their gratitude to Liu Ruoci.

He was praised for his meticulousness and thoughtfulness.

Before long, the Xuantian Sect members arrived at the mountain peak, led by Liu Ruoci.

Wen Heng was somewhat amazed: "Medicine King Valley is not only filled with spiritual herbs and flowers, and the air is filled with a rich medicinal fragrance, but even the shape of this mountain is somewhat like a large alchemy furnace. It is truly unique."

Liu Ruoci curled the corners of her mouth: "Yes, Medicine King Valley is a sect that specializes in the art of medicine. These are all unique features of our valley."

Hengyangzi stroked his hair and nodded.

However, just as he and his disciples stepped into the cave, the cave door behind them suddenly slammed shut!

The inside suddenly turned pitch black.

Hengyangzi was the first to react, leaping to the entrance of the cave and attempting to blast it open with magic.

Outside the cave, Liu Ruoci stood calmly, her face still displaying a gentle and warm smile.

He listened to the sounds inside and shook his head slightly.

"It's no use. Even if you are a Nascent Soul cultivator, once you enter the Valley Treasure Alchemy Furnace of my Medicine King Valley, you will obediently turn into a pill."

Shouts and curses came from inside.

"Liu Ruoci, you lied to us!"

"We already told you the secret and promised to be loyal to you, why are you doing this!"

Liu Ruoci stood leisurely outside, a slight smile playing on her lips as she answered their questions:

"Why? Naturally, it's because I feel that since I already know the secret, you are no longer of any use to me."

"As for loyalty. There is never a sense of security when power is in someone else's hands. If you can betray the Xuan Tian Sect today, you may betray my Medicine King Valley in the future. Unfortunately, I, Liu, am not fond of gambling, so it would be better to refine all of you and turn your power into my own."

"Hengyangzi, you're really getting senile. After being the sect leader for so many years, you still can't understand this simple thing."

"I think it's right for Luo Huanzhen to sit in your position. At least she's barely qualified to be my opponent, while you can only be a stepping stone at best."

As for this secret treasure of the Eastern Continent... Liu Ruoci's eyes gradually lit up.

The Hunyuan Sect is waiting for the appearance of the Eastern Continent's supreme treasure, attempting to extend its reach into the Eastern Continent.

But is it possible that this treasure has already appeared?

Moreover, it's not some precious item, but rather—a person.

Thirty days later.

This group of people were refined into a concentrated pill, containing the power of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. After consuming it, he could break through to the Nascent Soul stage and become a Divine Transformation stage cultivator.

He has Su Mingyue by his side, a treasure of good fortune, who is also exceptionally talented and in charge of a major sect in the Eastern Continent.

What will his future hold?

Everything went so smoothly!

Liu Ruoci smiled and turned to leave.

Inside this enormous natural alchemy furnace, Hengyangzi Wen Heng and a group of disciples were screaming and yelling in agony while tearing at their hair.

"My spiritual power, my spiritual power is draining away!"

"You jinx! Wen Heng, you're a complete jinx! We should never have listened to you and followed you in the first place!"

"And Hengyangzi, you've caused us so much harm, you old bastard! You brought us to Medicine King Valley, and now we're all going to die! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"I must have committed some terrible sin in my past life to be stuck with you two, master and disciple!"
