Villain Master, my disciples all want to backstab me

Time passed slowly as Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun refined medicine, and Qingluo and others practiced cross-legged cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, it was the next morning.

It's just dawn.

Qingluo, Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er walked out of the room early and returned to where Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun were.

at this time.

In front of Bai Yuan, there was already a row of white porcelain bottles and some wooden brocade boxes. There were about 10 to 20 of them.

And the quality was also very high. When Qingluo and the others arrived, they smelled a very strong medicinal aroma lingering in the air. Even just a sniff of it was enough to make people feel refreshed and as light as a swallow. One could imagine the extent of the effect of taking it.

"coming?"

Bai Yuan asked without turning his head.

“…Greetings, Master.”

Qingluo and the others paused not far from Bai Yuan, bowed to her, and then gradually turned their gaze to the row of porcelain bottles and brocade boxes: "Are these the medicines that Master refined overnight?"

"That's it."

Bai Yuan nodded slightly: "Most of these pills are prepared for you. The names and effects of the pills are posted next to the bottles. Eat them quickly, and then go to the tea garden to practice."

"Well……"

Qingluo and Jiangrao glanced at each other, their pupils trembling slightly——

Ye Shuang'er might not be clear about the significance of this scene, but the two of them knew. The amount of elixirs Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun refined that night was probably enough to match the amount of medicine a major sect like the Tianyuan Sword Sect would produce in a year or two!

Even if two people in the Return to Void Realm took action, such work efficiency was a bit outrageous.

——In fact, ordinary Return to Void Realm cultivators really couldn't achieve such efficiency in refining medicine. But Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun were different.

Both of them had practiced the Dao of Time, with Bai Yuan having experienced sixteen reincarnations, and thus possessing a profound mastery of the laws governing the passage of time. They could alter the flow of time to a certain extent, accelerating the maturation of elixirs, allowing them to create the same medicine in a fraction, or even tens of times, of the time it would take others.

Such an operation is also a good thing for Bai Yuan, because he can hone the power of the law of [Time] at the same time.

If she wants to defeat the one in Dahuang, this is her indispensable trump card.

the other side.

Qingluo and the others were not aware of the methods Bai Yuan used to refine the medicine. They only thought that their master and mistress... ahem, and Ji Lingyun, had used up their own cultivation to catalyze the medicinal power to refine so many pills. They were all a little moved at the moment.

"Disciple thanks Master."

After solemnly performing the disciple ceremony, Qingluo and the others each chose a pill that suited them and ate it. Then they stepped into the tea garden, sat down next to the tallest tea tree in the garden, and began to meditate with their eyes closed.

Time passes slowly...

Bai Yuan and his companions each performed their duties and carried out the previously formulated action plan in an orderly manner.

In the afternoon of the next day.

Ji Shuangtang returned to Bai Yuan with a batch of supplies he had collected from all over the place.

By the way, he also brought her a piece of news about the "War to Eliminate Demons" -

Just a few days ago.

To be precise, it was almost the same time when Bai Yuan and his group set out for the west side of Zhongzhou to attack the Shentu family.

Far in the southwest of Yunhezhou, an even larger-scale battle took place: the four major sects headed by Tianyuan Mountain and the evil cultivators of Xueyuan Sect fought a desperate battle on the "Mingku Mountain", the location of the latter's headquarters, and both sides suffered heavy losses!

This piece of news caused quite a stir in the cultivation world.

After all, the "War to Slay Demons" had begun several months ago and, by now, had become a massive event that had engulfed the entire cultivation world. Almost everyone from the four righteous sects to the five demonic sects had participated. The battle a few days ago was a grueling, all-or-nothing showdown, with thousands of cultivators on both sides involved.

Nearly half of them died or were seriously injured in this battle.

——Moreover, among these half of the fallen, there are many powerful people from the Jindan to Yuanying realms.

One can imagine how huge an impact this result will have on the spiritual world in the future, that is, in the next few years or even decades.

In this regard.

Bai Yuan didn't think it was a big deal at first. After all, she was no longer the leader of the "Yin Yue Sect" and had been wandering on the fringe of the cultivation world for a long time. She had nothing to do with the struggle between good and evil.

But one detail caught Bai Yuan's attention:

"That fellow, Blood God Son, actually appeared again?"

"Furthermore, he doesn't seem to be affected by his previous injuries. He can perform magic and fight against three incarnation masters, Meng Yueshan, Xun Shouzheng, and Feng Yi, without losing?"

Shouldn't that guy be hiding in the sect recuperating now? How could he jump out and continue fighting so soon? Could it be that the person who was hit by his "Heaven-Slashing Sword Technique" last time was still just his clone, not his real body?

After a brief moment of shock.

Bai Yuan quickly rejected the "clone theory" and then thought of the most likely reason: "Is it the work of the 'Nether Soul Lotus'?"

Yes.

Since the Shentu family can use the "Underworld Soul Lotus" to control the cultivators of the Haoran Sect to attack her, Qingluo and others, then they can naturally use similar means to control the Blood God Son.

Although the Blood God's strength is in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm, under normal circumstances, he would not be so easily ambushed. However, if the person who attacked him was in the Return to Void Realm, or took advantage of the Blood God's weakness, then the situation would be a different matter.

On the night the "Four Demon Kings" attacked, no one from the Shentu family showed up from beginning to end, which was very inconsistent with the Shentu family's style. So now thinking back, they most likely sent people to hide in the dark, and only jumped out after the duel between Bai Yuan and Blood God Son ended, performing a "oriole behind the scenes" operation.

Although the Blood God Son has some strength and skills, he is still a little too young to be compared with the old cunning people like the Shentu family who have been playing tricks on people for thousands of years.

even……

The person who instructed the Shentu family to subdue the Blood God Son was most likely the Shentu ancestor from the Great Wilderness Forbidden Land. If the latter were to orchestrate this, not only would the Blood God Son be defeated, even the Blood Origin Sect's most powerful figure—the Return to Void Realm Grand Elder—would likely find it difficult to deal with him.

"Well, it's not a big deal."

Bai Yuan curled his lips and threw the news aside.

The implementation of any conspiracy requires manpower.

Now, the Shentu clan's land had been destroyed by Bai Yuan, and many members of the Shentu clan had been killed by her, Ji Lingyun, Qingluo, and the others. This was especially true of Shentu Jackdaw, the old monster in the Return to Void Realm. Under these circumstances, even if the Shentu clan still had some backup plan, its efficiency and effectiveness would certainly not be comparable to before.

Furthermore……

Bai Yuan just has a grudge against the Shentu family, he is not a messenger of justice.

She has done enough, and the remaining troubles will be left to the four righteous sects to deal with.

Chapter 265 "Realm of Time"

over the next few days.

Bai Yuan and Ji Lingyun closed the door and, with the help of the Ji family, began to refine various elixirs and magical tools.

During this process, Bai Yuan began to consciously use the "power of the law" of [The Way of Time] to accelerate the formation of the elixir.

Specifically.

She released the law symbolizing the "cycle of time" outside her body, creating a special "domain of time." Time flowed five to ten times faster within this domain than outside. Thus, a pill that would take ten days to refine outside could be prepared in a day within this domain.

If we go a step further and expand the power of this law to a larger range.

For example, it could cover the entire Ji family tea garden and everyone within it...

Then the practice efficiency of Qingluo, Jiang Rao and Ye Shuang'er who are practicing in seclusion in the tea garden will also be improved in the same proportion!

Well, this method was verified by Bai Yuan in a previous life.

Although there are some flaws in actual use.

First, there are bottlenecks in the path of cultivation, and therefore there is a limit to the achievements of cultivation within the "Realm of Time." If one could continuously improve their cultivation simply by wasting time, the world would be filled with people who have already reached the level of Incarnation and Return to the Void.

Secondly, because time in this realm is real, its flow is accelerated, meaning that those within it will age faster. If this realm were kept open, they could live through hundreds of years in just a few decades before turning into dust.

——In a sense, the latter side effect is actually equivalent to slowing down the process of "death" countless times.

but.

These defects may not apply to Qingluo and others.

On the one hand, Qingluo and the others were all destined for heaven, possessing a cultivation aptitude exceeding 99% of all cultivators. Qingluo had even reached the Return to Void Realm in another timeline. Therefore, the bottleneck Bai Yuan encountered back then might not exist for them.

On the other hand, their ages weren't particularly old. Even Qingluo, the oldest, was only in her forties, which, if calculated proportionally, would be equivalent to an average person's seven or eight years old. Ye Shuang'er was only eighteen.

Now, they were meditating under the "Enlightenment Tree". If there was also a "Spiritual Time House" like the one constructed by Bai Yuan...

With the support of many buffs, the cultivation speed of several people may be increased to a terrifying level!

Even if you can't directly break through to a major realm, at least you can take a few small steps and increase your spiritual power reserves, which should be no problem.

With this plan.

Bai Yuan began to make more attempts.

In other words, it is "rehabilitation training".

Because in a previous life, she had done something similar.

Through repeated attempts and groping, Bai Yuan expanded his "domain of time" again and again, starting from the initial alchemy room, and gradually covering half of the Ji family tea garden.

The reason why it was "half" was because the Ji family's tea garden was indeed a bit too large. Although it did not directly occupy an entire state like the Shentu family, its depth still reached dozens of miles.

If Bai Yuan really covered such a large area and constantly maintained the "Time Domain", he would probably find it a bit too much to handle. So he had to make some choices.

It is worth mentioning that many rare and exotic plants are planted in the Ji family tea garden.

Some of these precious herbs may have been planted by ancestors of the Ji family hundreds or even thousands of years ago. After countless years, only a small seedling has grown. Theoretically, they still need dozens or hundreds of years to mature and be harvested for medicinal purposes.

But now...

As Bai Yuan's "Field of Time" opened, the growth rate of these herbs was also greatly accelerated.

Some of these varieties, which are already close to maturity, now show signs of bearing fruit early.

This discovery surprised Ji Shuangtang a little, and he even thanked Bai Yuan specially.

Bai Yuan acted very casual about this: "Well, Lingyun and I are good friends, and I have some connections with the Ji family. It's just a small favor, nothing to worry about."

"If you really want to thank me, you might as well lend me a few high-level magical weapons. I will return them to you after defeating Ancestor Shentu."

As a person who has reached the former Heavenly Human Realm and is now in the Return to Void Realm, Bai Yuan himself is no longer too dependent on magic weapons.

After all, she was already adept at manipulating laws like "life," "death," and "escape," and borrowing the power of external objects like the [Exquisite Dice] was simply for added convenience. But even without these external objects, the results wouldn't have deviated much.

but……

Qingluo and the others are different.

These people were all human beings for the first time, unlike Bai Yuan who had lived intermittently for thousands of years. During this period, he had reached the Return to Void Realm several times and even became a celestial being once. At the same time, their life experiences were quite rough, and they did not have Bai Yuan's rich experience in robbing and looting. The magic weapons they obtained were either given by their masters or elders, or they managed to refine them themselves.

Since his cultivation level is much lower than that of the ancestor Shentu, if he does not have some high-quality magical weapons, he will likely be in danger when facing the latter.

Of course.

Bai Yuan had collected quite a bit of spoils during his raid on the Shentu clan's land, including one or two high-quality magical instruments, presumably the legacy of the Chu and Xiao families.

But the quantity is still a little small, not enough to share.

Therefore, we still have to find a way to get some money from the Ji family.

"Magic weapon... Yes."

Ji Shuangtang thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. "My Ji family is a long-standing family with a history of nearly ten thousand years, so we still have some accumulated wealth. If Senior Bai wants to borrow some, you can take some time to accompany me to the treasure house to take a look."

"Easy to say."

Logically speaking, Ji Lingyun was the one who knew best what was in the Ji family's treasury. With her around, Bai Yuan didn't need to "select" at all. She just had to follow the list she gave and have Ji Shuangtang bring the items.

However, out of curiosity, Bai Yuan still went to the Ji family's treasury and observed the latter's background up close.

"Hey, is this the 'Meteoric Thunder Sword' that was rumored to have been used to kill those in the Return to Void Realm? It certainly looks quite impressive."

"This thing should be the 'Nirvana Tower'... Long time no see."

In front of an ochre-yellow pagoda, Bai Yuan paused, his eyes looking a little puzzled.

It really is “long time no see”.

This was because this magical instrument called "Tower of Nirvana" was exactly what the Ji family's ancestors had used in the past. He had seen it with his own eyes as early as the time of Bai Yuan I.

Now that we meet again, things and people have changed, and I feel quite emotional.

Chapter 266 "God King Body" Completed

In theory, magical instruments like these, once used by those at the Celestial Realm, often come with numerous restrictions. Only those who master specific techniques, and usually descendants of that person's bloodline, can wield them with ease.

But Bai Yuan doesn't need to worry about these.
