During his stay in Qing Mu City, Ye Yuan sold and purchased various resources. He also bought information while searching for Zhao Ling’er, whom he had still not found.But there was no trace of Zhao Ling’er at all. Well, trying to search for a cultivator who had just stepped into the Immortal Realm, without a name or clear background, was naturally extremely difficult.So, after making his preparations, Ye Yuan set out for the Burning Dao Forest to search for resources there together with Liu Tingyun.After a long search, Ye Yuan eventually discovered a rare resource—the Ascension Fire Lotus, one of the rarest fire-type herbs at the Nascent Immortal level.Ye Yuan did not stumble upon this herb by chance; he found it through his knowledge and experience.In a place where one could not use spiritual sense, where even vision was severely limited due to the overwhelming fire, finding resources was extremely difficult.However, by carefully sensing the temperature of the flames, Ye Yuan

After leaving the Burning Dao Forest, Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun were blocked by more than a dozen True Phase cultivators.They threatened Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun, but Ye Yuan immediately struck without wasting words, kicking one of them so hard that he crashed into several of his comrades, all of them smashing into the ground.The other bandits quickly prepared themselves. Flames erupted from their bodies as they drew their weapons and charged at Ye Yuan.Ye Yuan created a spear from Yang energy and a sword from Yin energy, wielding both weapons simultaneously as he faced all the bandits head-on.The bandits who had fallen earlier immediately stood back up. The one who had been struck by Ye Yuan was now fully healed—his body had regenerated—but the burn marks remained.Instead of attacking Ye Yuan again, they suddenly changed their target and rushed toward Liu Tingyun, who had been floating in place, seemingly disinterested in interfering.One bandit led the charge, swinging down his bl

Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun managed to enter the High Pill Sect without trouble.“The servants in this sect aren’t that many for a sect that allows outside alchemists to enter so easily,” Ye Yuan observed, watching the servants as they went about their tasks—carrying herbs or similar items.Alchemical sects usually had more servants than official members, because becoming an alchemist wasn’t easy, and many of the sect’s chores were handled by servants: gathering herbs, delivering herbs or pills, sending messages, sweeping the courtyards, and so on.Meanwhile, the official members were busy training and studying; they had no time for such simple tasks.Besides the servants, Ye Yuan and Liu Tingyun noticed a few members of the High Pill Sect. There weren’t many, but they all looked at the newcomers with contempt, seemingly dismissive.Ye Yuan didn’t feel offended at all—he rationalized their attitude, since they were young official alchemists who tended to regard themselves as superior to o

The Alchemy Sacred Tower was a towering structure where the members of the High Pill Sect trained.At the very top floor of the tower, there was the Alchemy Dao Crystal, which distributed the Alchemy Dao throughout all the floors of the tower via a formation array installed there—except for the very bottom floor.The lowest floor contained hundreds of rooms, and each room had a small Alchemy Dao Crystal, usually used by the servants of the High Pill Sect to practice the Dao of Alchemy.Song An led Ye Yuan and four other alchemists to one of the rooms on the ground floor. Inside, they saw a white, semi-transparent Dao Crystal that emitted an aura so overwhelming it left the four alchemists awestruck.For the first time in their lives, they were witnessing an Alchemy Dao Crystal. The aura it exuded was so moving it nearly brought them to tears.“T-this is the Alchemy Dao Crystal…”“This feeling… it’s as if my mind has opened, giving me endless inspiration for alchemy techniques…”“What

Hong Yingli traveled together with Zhao Ling’er. They explored many places—forests, mountains, and even visited several cities.Zhao Ling’er did not know exactly what Hong Yingli’s true goal was, since the girl never revealed much about it. However, because they had always been together, Zhao Ling’er could guess her purpose.That girl was searching for a treasure within the Long Hu World.The Long Hu World was not a vast world; in fact, there were no Sovereign Dao cultivators in it.But the fact that Hong Yingli had come all the way here in search of a treasure meant that what she sought must at least be at the level of a Sovereign Dao artifact.As for what kind of treasure it was, Zhao Ling’er had no idea. So far, Hong Yingli had gathered two fragments of a map and was still looking for the final piece.If she succeeded in collecting all of them, Hong Yingli might be able to uncover the treasure she was after.Now, Hong Yingli was visiting a sect to gather information, and of course,
