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

"I am a... magic, a magical artifact."

Liu Ruoci was overjoyed: "After the blood oath, I can take you into my body and take you with me?"

"Yes……"

"Owner……"

"I've been lying low for a thousand years... waiting for you..."

Liu Ruoci's heart pounded like a drum.

A thousand years! A once-in-a-millennium opportunity! He truly is the chosen one!

"Alright! I'll take you away right now!"

If I can get this magic weapon, it will be worth it to let Liu Rumei go today.

This thing can refine living people into pills, increasing their cultivation level without any side effects—as long as he has it, even if he escapes to the ends of the earth, he will have a chance to turn things around!

He bit his fingertip, and a drop of blood seeped out.

But before the blood could even touch the stone, a gust of wind swept in from the side—

"Snapped!"

Liu Rumei kicked out hard, and the stone flew out like a pebble, disappearing into the pile of rocks in the blink of an eye.

Liu Ruoci froze.

He slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his face contorted: "Liu Rumei—! You vile woman!!"

"Why! Why can't you ever see me doing well?!"

"What right do you, a woman, have to compete with me for this?!"

"Aaaaaah!!"

He rushed out like a madman, dodging Liu Rumei's attacks while trying to chase after the stone.

"I can't lose it... I can't lose it... If I lose it, I'm finished... My path to immortality will be completely over..."

Liu Rumei grabbed his hair.

"Take it from you?" She spoke each word with icy coldness. "You've been sucking blood from your great-grandmother for so many years, and now you're sucking blood from me! A person like you doesn't deserve to be the Valley Master! Die!"

Before she finished speaking, the poisonous light in her palm was already at Liu Ruoci's face.

At that very moment—

"roar!!"

Suddenly, the Alchemy Mountain erupted, and a giant stone fist, carrying wind pressure, slammed down towards Liu Rumei!

Luo Zhenhuan, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly lunged forward.

The small body met the mountain-like fist head-on, and thrust out with a palm—

"Bang!!"

A massive shockwave rippled outwards, overturning surrounding rocks and trees. Luo Huanzhen gritted his teeth, his hands bracing against the stone fist, managing to withstand the attack!

Liu Rumei did not stop.

She grabbed Liu Ruoci by the hair and slapped him repeatedly across the face. Liu Ruoci was covered in blood, his features were unrecognizable, and even his screams became muffled.

While enduring the attacks from the Alchemy Mountain, Luo Huanzhen struggled to maintain his balance.

The woman in purple and a bamboo hat slowly turned around and walked in another direction.

That direction—that's where the stone just landed.

She walked calmly to the pile of rocks and bent down slightly.

She opened her palm, and a glowing stone flew out from a crack in the rock and landed steadily in her hand.

Banlan had been watching the entire battle closely, and when she saw this scene, she couldn't help but gasp.

[Oh no. Zhenzhen, this thing, like your Ten Thousand Demon Banner, is a divine artifact! She's obtained the core of its essence—she'll definitely bind it to her with her blood!]

In the Upper Realm, this kind of thing that can plunder the power of others is something that all the major powers are fighting tooth and nail for...

Before the word "seize" could be finished, Banlan's voice abruptly stopped.

Because through Luo Huanzhen's perspective, he saw—

The female cultivator in purple clasped her five fingers together.

"Click."

The luminous core of her being shattered into powder in her palm.

The wind blew it away, leaving not even a trace.

The massive alchemy mountain, as if all its life force had been drained, suddenly froze. Then, it slumped back onto the earth, its stone body merging with the mountain itself, becoming once again an ordinary, inconspicuous peak.

The thrilling battle we just witnessed seemed like nothing more than a dream for everyone.

The surviving disciples of Medicine King Valley stood there, panting heavily, looking at each other blankly.

Banlan remained silent for a long time before finally uttering a single sentence.

[...This is impossible. She clearly came from the Upper Realm; she couldn't possibly not know the value of this thing... She actually... destroyed it like that?]

Luo was also a little shocked.

After doing all this, the purple-clad female cultivator turned to leave.

"etc!"

Luo Huanzhen rushed over and grabbed her sleeve.

The purple-clad female cultivator paused slightly, looking down at Luo Zhenhuan. Although she had never taken off her bamboo hat, Luo Zhenhuan could feel her gaze fixed on him.

Luo actually spoke up in a cute way.

She asked, "Who exactly are you?"

From the moment she appeared until now, everything she has done has been to help herself and Sister Mei.

Luo Zhen simply didn't believe it when told that he was just an immortal who helped those in need.

"You know me."

Luo Huanzhen took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and shouted, "You're Sister Mei, right! You're Sister Mei!"

The woman in purple neither confirmed nor denied it.

Instead, she said softly, "This Alchemy Mountain cannot be allowed to remain; it will be a great scourge in the future, causing chaos and upheaval... Therefore, we paid a heavy price to send me here to completely nip it in the bud. Zhenzhen, you must grow up safely and well; this world needs you..."

She simply patted Luo Huanzhen's head gently again, then turned and resolutely left.

Luo Huanzhen stood there, watching her leave.

As her figure receded into the distance, the purple hue faded, eventually seeming to melt into the air.

There's really no need to guess Luo.

That must be Liu Rumei—

Or rather, she is Liu Rumei, who comes from the future and becomes the strongest.

Luo Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. She thought that Liu Rumei's future had finally changed.

She is no longer cannon fodder.

She truly became the person she envisioned herself to be.

So incredibly powerful, capable of turning the world upside down with a flick of the wrist.

Luo Zhenhuan withdrew his gaze.

She was going to check on how her sister Mei was doing.

……

Liu Rumei was still hitting Liu Ruoci, whose hands and body were covered in blood and foam.

Liu Ruoci lay on the ground, looking at her ruthless and emotionless sister, her eyes filled with despair and resentment.

"You...you...you'll regret this..."

After Liu Ruoci finished speaking with difficulty, the nascent soul inside her body suddenly flew out.

He hid here and there, flying in circles.

Liu Rumei had been fighting Liu Ruoci for so long that she was already exhausted, so she was quickly shaken off by Liu Ruoci's nascent soul.

Liu Ruoci was overjoyed and then flew down to the high place of Flying Star Pavilion.

Inside the secret building, he placed Su Mingyue's body.

As long as he enters that puppet's body, he can be reborn and start over!
