After Liu Feizhou left Wuliang Mountain, he started using a flying artifact . Due to those chilling things he had thought of, he revolved his spiritual energy and pushed himself to his limits to speed up the flying artifact, so they were already over a thousand miles away .
When he got a transmission from his master, his hand shook and he almost dropped the transmission talisman .
His master told him to head back immediately because he needed to refine an eighth rank radiant yang pill .
Originally, heâd be deeply honored to have his master call him, but because of what he realized earlier and his knowledge of what the radiant yang pill was used for, his heart chilled .
Could it be that it was starting?
However, he couldnât disobey his masterâs order and he didnât care about Su Lijiangâs life either . At the same time, he had promised to send Li Xinmei safely to the mortal world . So should he bring her back? Or just leave her here?
It wasnât safe near the void sea right now . Even he, a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, had to be careful, so Li Xinmei who was only at the third level of Spirit Condensation was clearly not safe .
As he hesitated, his master bellowed again, âAre you moving yet? If you donât arrive in an hour, be prepared for the consequences!â
Aside from his masterâs voice, there seemed to be other voices .
âWhat kind of orthodox sect cultivators are you? To use a living person to make a pill! You crazy demonsâŚâ
It was Old Madame Weiâs voice .
Liu Feizhouâs heart sunk . What exactly was going on? Use a living person to make a pill? Did he hear that correctly? As of now, he was only just able to refine fifth rank pills, so he didnât know the ingredients for the eight rank radiant yang pill at all . However, a chill seemed to spread up from his feet up through his entire body .
An hour! The transmission talisman linked the usersâ spiritual consciousness, so Dan Fengyang was aware of his general location . If he rushed with all his strength, heâd be able to make it back to Heaven Firmament Peak in just about an hour .
If they were really refining a human pill, the situation would be even more dangerous for Li Xinmei if he brought her back . Rather than that, itâd be better to just leave her here . When his thoughts arrived that this point, he reached to shake her awake only to find out that she had already woken up and was currently looking at him coldly . âMaster Liu, why did you bring me here? Whereâs my grannie?â
Her eyes contained golden light . For an instant, Liu Feizhou was stunned by the feeling that her eyes contained the light of the sun, moon, and stars, that she was able to see through everything .
She was clearly only at the Spirit Condensation Stage, so normally that pill shouldâve kept her unconscious for at least half the day . However, she had already woken up from it . It seemed that Li Xinmeiâs spiritual consciousness was also extremely strong . If it werenât for those old injuries, her cultivation path definitely wouldâve been smooth and filled with rapid advances .
Liu Feizhou sighed . âI must head back to Heaven Firmament Peak due to a pressing matter . You should stay here and hide yourself . Iâll come back for you . â
Liu Feizhouâs impression of Li Xinmei was that she was a very gentle and timid lady . She never seemed to look him in the eye and seemed slightly afraid of him . However, her att.i.tude was currently very firm and her gaze was scorching as she demanded, âMaster Liu, why am I here? Whereâs Grannie?â
Should he lie to trick her? However, as he looked at her bright eyes, he felt that he wouldnât be able to trick her . Or perhaps it should be said that he didnât want to trick her .
Since there was someone who was willing to conceal everything so that she would live well, heâs like to see what choice Li Xinmei would make . He suddenly had a slightly malicious thought . He wanted to see what this pair of grandmother and granddaughter who usually made him feel so lowly would do in the face of a true life or death choice .
âOld Madame Wei had a feeling that something bad was about to happen to her, so she had me send you out first . However, my master ordered me to return immediately to help him with refining a pill, so I have to go back . â As he spoke, he revolved his spiritual energy and directed the flying artifact to turn back around . However, he first lowered the alt.i.tude of the artifact and picked up Li Xinmei to throw her to the ground .
At this moment, a pair of hands gripped his arm tightly .
He looked over and found that Li Xinmeiâs eyes were bright like they contained flames . âIâm going back too . â
âYouâre only at the third level of Spirit Condensation, what could you do even if you go back?â Liu Feizhou didnât bother to consider things and directly said, âThe Wuliang Sectâs Supreme Elder wants to refine her into a human pill . What can you do even if you go back?â When he got to the end, he started bellowing, âShe kept nagging me to get you out of there . What can you do if you go back aside from walking towards death?â
However, the light in Li Xinmeiâs eyes just got brighter . She didnât say anything and just pressed her lips together while gripping Liu Feizhouâs arm like her life depended on it .
Liu Feizhouâs facial color turned ashen as he prepared to throw her off . Li Xinmeiâs eyes filled with tears . âMaster Liu, bring me back . â
Liu Feizhouâs heart clutched with pain and his eyes became wet as well . It felt like the thick layer of rock that he had wrapped around his heart had silently cracked . The light that originally only shone on the sh.e.l.l now pierced straight into his heart, causing his heart to convulse with pain .
He silently urged the flying artifact to fly back as quickly as possible . He was thinking, if there was a chance, he would also try being a good person .
Like them .
After an hour, Liu Feizhou returned with Li Xinmei to Wuliang Sect . As they were landing, Li Xinmei suddenly asked, âMaster Liu, is there a pill that can instantly increase the strength of a personâs spiritual consciousness?â
Her eyes were nearly scorching with light . âAlthough my cultivation level is only at the Spirit Condensation Stage, Iâve always been training my spiritual consciousness . Iâve found that my spiritual consciousness is much stronger than my cultivation . After all, from the start I have an arcane ice physique . Itâs only my body thatâs injured, my primordial spirit is fine . â
After she said this all in one breath, she smiled slightly . âIt only needs to increase it to the Golden Core Stage . â
âŚ
Dan Fengyangâs cauldron wasnât the type that you could just hold in your hand . It was eight foot in diameter and as tall as a person . The body was completely red and engraved with complicated talisman characters .
The Supreme Elder was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed as he rested . When he didnât speak, there was no aura of life from him at all . Even his breathing was gone as if he was dead .
Su Tingyun had cursed at them and had argued while struggling, but her futile struggles were ended by just a flick of a finger .
She could no longer move and was lying near the foot of the caudron . Her entire body felt like it was being crushed . The parts of her body that could still move were her eyes .
She was thinking that no matter what, she still had to fight for her life, so she tried using her spiritual consciousness to attack . However, though her spiritual consciousness was unbelievably strong to someone like the Old Wax Head, it was completely insignificant in the face of a Crossing Tribulation Stage cultivator .
Her head hurt and her body hurt too, but she couldnât even make a sound and could only glower at those two evil people . She cursed for them to have tragic deaths .
She vowed to not let them off even if she became a ghost .
âŚ
Liu Feizhou had just arrived at the great hall of Heaven Firmament Peak . Earlier, he had given Li Xinmei a sixth rank spirit condensation pill . That was the only sixth rank pill he possessed and sixth rank pills were very rare in the cultivation world . However, he hadnât felt any reluctance when handing it to her . They were going to die, so it definitely wasnât coming back to him .
Ever since he had encountered this pair, he had always been making losing deals . As he walked up the stone steps, he looked up and saw that Su Lijiang was standing by the door, his face pale and filled with anxiousness .
He suddenly wanted to be a good person now .
He wanted to tell Su Lijiang that his benefactor was inside and was about to be refined into a human pill . He wanted to tell Su Lijiang what he was about to face .
âSpiritual Master Lingwu . â As Liu Feizhou pa.s.sed by, he used his spiritual consciousness to transmit his voice . âBe carefulâŚâ But right at this time, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him . Simultaneously, a cold light flashed . Liu Feizhou blinked, then discovered that his eyelashes had been cut off .
Liu Feizhou: ââŚâ
âMaster Liu, hurry in,â said Chu Yu coldly .
Liu Feizhou felt an ice cold energy wrap around his body, then he felt a chill at his neck . After walking into the palace, he touched his neck and found that he was bleeding .
How many slashes had that woman made in that instant earlier?
She was at the very least, at the Nascent Soul Stage . When this occurred to him, his heart started pounding uneasily . After walking into the hall, he saw his masterâs red-crowned crane cauldron and Old Madame Wei who was lying next to the cauldron . Liu Feizhouâs eyelids jumped . Every step he took seemed to make a chill to spread through his body .
In the past, he had also climbed out of a pile of corpses and was able to kill without blinking an eye . However, when he saw Old Madame Wei on the ground, not only was he shocked, he also felt unbearably uncomfortable .
âWhat are you dawdling for!? Hurry up!â Dan Fengyang did care quite a bit for his star disciple . He pointed at the medicinal gra.s.s placed at the side and side, âRoast them with your pill fire for now . Iâll be needing them later . â
After saying that, he lifted his hand and a flame shot out from his fingertip and leaped to the bottom of the cauldron . He then added a large amount of spiritual energy, causing the flame to instantly roar up .
The ingredients were placed into the cauldron one by one . After about a minute, he grabbed Su Tingyun to place her into the cauldron . However, Liu Feizhou suddenly said, âWait!â
Liu Feizhou just wanted to stop him . However, just as he opened his mouth, the person who had been sitting in the main seat like a corpse abruptly opened his eyes . The intangible pressure in that personâs eyes made his primordial spirit feel about to collapse .
His master also glared at him angrily . Liu Feizhou bit his tongue in order to regain his voice and said, âH-her clothes are still on . Are you going to throw her into the cauldron just like this?â
âItâs not like youâre eating the human pill, why do you care about that?â Dan Fengyang hadnât expected for his disciple to ask such a stupid question and to have done it in front of that old monster too! He humphed coldly and threw the person into the cauldron while shooting his disciple a warning look .
Meanwhile, Liu Feizhouâs heart actually calmed down .
This old manâs pill fire was of the fourth rank . A fourth rank pill fire was capable of turning Old Madame Wei into ash in an instant . Since the person was already dead, what was there left to be conflicted over? What was there left to feel guilty about? If it had been the past, he still wouldâve called Dan Fengyang master, but now, he already considered Dan Fengyang his enemy .
He was thinking, Wei Yun, although we just happened to meet by chance and arenât close by any means, Iâll get revenge for you . Even if, even if it was just a reward for that jade scroll .
