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

The whole hall became a little restless.

But the next moment, the woman in purple robes and a bamboo hat glanced at him through the veil, and the male cultivator, who had been about to cause trouble, suddenly trembled and fell to the ground.

What a terrible feeling.

She hadn't even released her divine sense; her gaze was hidden behind a veil. Why, then, did he feel as if he were being stared at by an irresistible, terrifying gaze, as if she could control his life and death in the blink of an eye?

The male cultivator stammered, "No, I'm sorry, I, I offered to give way. You, you go first."

What was about to escalate into a conflict was resolved in the blink of an eye.

Luo Huanzhen followed Liu Rumei. Because she was short, she stood on tiptoe and leaned against the counter, staring intently at the woman in purple clothes and a bamboo hat, and made a judgment in her mind.

Very competitive.

very strong.

The woman in purple and a bamboo hat seemed to realize that Luo Zhen was looking at her, and she chuckled softly.

However, she did not show any hostility towards Luo Huanzhen. Instead, she reached out and gently touched Luo Huanzhen's head, as if she were touching a precious treasure that would break at the slightest touch. She quickly withdrew her hand.

The woman in purple and a bamboo hat returned the deposit to Liu Rumei and said gently.

"Please take your order. Welcome back next time. Next person."

Liu Rumei thanked them, took Luo Huanzhen's hand, and turned to leave the Wuji Sect. Although they no longer had any other travel tools, they were already in the outer circle of Medicine King Valley, so it wouldn't take much effort for them to fly there in a flash.

The two were in the air.

Liu Rumei lowered her head and asked Luo Huanzhen, "Zhenzhen, what contact did you have with her just now? Was she willing to let us cut in line?"

Luo Huanzhen shook his head and looked up honestly, "No, Sister Mei. I was just observing her. I felt that her temperament was a bit like yours, so I took a few more glances. She seemed to notice and then let our king advance."

Upon hearing this, Liu Rumei was momentarily surprised.

Then he carefully recalled the woman in purple clothes and a bamboo hat from earlier.

"Hmm...it does look a bit like her. She also seems to prefer purple dresses, just like me."

However, Liu Rumei was certain that she had no other blood relatives besides her younger brother Liu Ruoci, so she relaxed her brows slightly and gently patted Luo Huanzhen's fluffy little head: "Perhaps he likes Zhenzhen's cute appearance, so he did us a favor."

Luo Zhenhuan nodded slightly and continued, "Her cultivation level is very high. Even I can't quite see through her..."

Liu Rumei asked in surprise, "Really?"

Is the Wuji Sect's foundation really that strong?

It should be noted that Luo Huanzhen's spiritual strength is at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

If she can't see through it either, then isn't she above the Tribulation Transcending stage?

As Liu Rumei thought of this, the red-robed Taoist who had almost killed her and Yu Tianrong suddenly popped into her mind.

This is the woman in purple robes and a bamboo hat from the Wuji Sect.

Could it be that his cultivation level has reached the same level as that terrifying red-robed Taoist?

Just as her thoughts drifted to this point, Liu Rumei couldn't help but shake her head, a slight chuckle creeping onto her face.

How could someone so powerful be working odd jobs at the post station?

Could it be that they're waiting here for someone and have rented some magical artifacts?

Liu Rumei said, "Never mind, Xiaomei has been waiting for a long time. Let's deal with the important matters at hand first."

Luo Huanzhen: "Hmm."

The woman in purple robes and a bamboo hat gave me a friendly feeling. Since she was not an enemy, there was no need to think too much. The most important thing right now was to kill Liu Ruoci, rescue the elders, and completely destroy the alchemy mountain!

The two flew very fast, and finally landed near a secluded cliff and stream in Medicine King Valley.

"There are too many guards at the main gate, and we can't get in without the Medicine King Valley disciple token. But there is a hidden door behind this waterfall. Usually, there are only six guards inside. It's a small back door for Medicine King Valley disciples to enter and exit. Today, the guards here are our people. Please allow me to send a message to Xiaomei." After explaining, Liu Rumei took out a communication talisman.

After writing a few words on it with her spiritual power, she tore the communication talisman apart.

The talisman transformed into a ray of light and disappeared into the world.

A moment later, the waterfall in front of them was suddenly split apart by an invisible force.

Immediately afterwards, Xiaomei led six cultivators from Medicine King Valley out from behind the waterfall.

She rushed to Liu Rumei's side immediately, "Miss! Sect Leader Luo! You've arrived—"

The other six cultivators from Medicine King Valley all bowed respectfully upon seeing Liu Rumei, saying, "Miss!"

Liu Rumei nodded. "Let's go in first."

This is not the place to talk, nor is it the time to reminisce.

Once inside Medicine King Valley, Liu Rumei was already quite familiar with the place. She skillfully led everyone around, avoiding Liu Ruoci's people.

Xiaomei followed beside Liu Rumei, telling her about the current situation as they walked.

"Miss, Liu Ruoci is at Flying Star Pavilion. She goes to the Alchemy Mountain every day at noon to check on the progress of the elders' alchemy. It's currently mid-morning."

Liu Rumei nodded: "Okay. I'll go to Flying Star Pavilion myself. The rest of you disciples, gather all of us and notify the other elders of the Pure Stream faction. We'll launch a direct attack and capture all of Liu Ruoci's people from Medicine King Valley!"

Xiaomei: "Miss, what about me?"

Liu Rumei said with a solemn expression, "Xiaomei, you have a more important task. Take Zhenzhen to the Alchemy Mountain and rescue Elder Qian and the others."

Xiao Mei patted her chest and said, "I guarantee I'll complete the mission. Sect Master Zhenzhen, please come with me."

Luo Huanzhen nodded solemnly.

The two then split up, and Luo Zhenhuan, guided by Xiao Mei, soon arrived at a huge, verdant mountain peak.

Because we were so close, the aroma of medicine and herbs was stronger than anywhere else, lingering in the air.

Xiao Mei pointed to the cave halfway up the mountain: "Sect Master Zhenzhen, this is the Alchemy Mountain. The closed cave I'm pointing to is where Elder Qian and the others are imprisoned."

Luo Zhen didn't rush up rashly, but instead kept his eyes fixed on the verdant mountain peak.

The layers of lush green trees swayed gently in the breeze. The sun had already risen, and its scorching rays shone on the verdant mountain. It seemed as if the heat was evaporating from the trees and then dissipating into the air.

Luo Zhen just frowned as he looked at it.

Seeing that Luo Zhen had been standing quietly in a daze since arriving, Xiao Mei couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The old man and the others who were imprisoned inside had always treated her and the young lady very well.

The longer it dragged on, the more torment they would suffer. So, Xiaomei cracked her knuckles and couldn't help but turn to Luo Huanzhen, asking, "Sect Master Zhenzhen, what's wrong?"

Luo Huanzhen blinked and turned to look at Xiaomei.

"Xiao Mei. This Alchemy Mountain is so strange. I feel like this mountain is breathing—"
