Something Really Did Happen

Liusu's move truly showcased its Taiqing-level insight and understanding of the world. With Qian Yuan Level soul power, it effortlessly performed an operation that only a Taiqing-level being could do, something that no Qian Yuan in the world, including Gouzi, could accomplish.

It doesn't use Law Technique; it has no Law Power.

It uses spiritual power, a type of soul technique, to influence the attributes of the void with divine thought, disrupt yin and yang, and reverse the Two Elements... Qin Yi strongly suspects that this technique was something he comprehended at their secluded stone pillar in the Land of Chaos. It is an evolution of that set, more flexible and autonomously manipulated than the rigid chaos.

This shows that since its rebirth, Liusu has been constantly learning new tricks, but it learns them all by itself, without needing anyone to teach it.

The final method of dispelling the tribulation clouds was clearly the result of communicating with the heavens and earth through the power of the soul.

Human strength is finite, but the spirit is infinite. The ultimate goal of Daoist cultivation is the immortality of the spirit, which is roughly the idea. And Liusu, with her perfected soul of Qian Yuan, has already moved the Heavenly Dao and triggered a resonance.

That's terrifying.

Having been to Taiqing before, that's what it means to have been there; it gives you a different perspective on the world than others.

The more you know, the more you realize how impressive some things are; an expert sees the details. Qin Yi knew Liusu was strong before, but he didn't have much direct experience of it. He just thought she was awesome and that was it. This time, however, might be the first time Qin Yi has directly realized how ridiculous the gap between himself and Liusu is.

He was so shocked that he didn't even pay attention to the freshly made pills for a moment...

The lid of the Pill Furnace in front of them rose slightly by three feet, and the furnace radiated light. Faint sounds of Dragon's Roar and Phoenix's Cry could be heard. Three pills flew out automatically, arranged in a triangle, and slowly rotated.

The fact that a single Pill Embryo could produce three pills subtly hinted at the concept of the One Qi, Three Purities, something only a truly accomplished Dao of Alchemy could achieve, left Qin Yi with no time to feel proud.

"Awooo!" A Black Shadow pounced, its gaping maw drooling so much that it dripped into the Pill Furnace...

The dog couldn't hold back any longer... Who the hell cares how awesome your Liusu is, pointing to the sky and scattering the calamity clouds?

Take pills!

Just as the big mouth was about to snatch all three pills away at the same time, a small white jade hand reached out from behind and grabbed its tail.

The dog froze in mid-air with its mouth wide open, took a bite, but almost missed. It stretched its neck to bite again, but Qin Yi, realizing what was happening, smashed it into the furnace with a stick.

The dog whimpered as it crawled out, shoving a pill at me. "One for each of you, there's one for you. Want all three? You want a beating?!"

The dog swallowed the pill, its eyes sparkling, and without saying a word, it crawled into the Pill Furnace to digest it comfortably.

This pill can absolutely guarantee that it will reach the Qian Yuan stage, but its soul power will not be lower than that of Liusu.

Outside, Qin Yi and Liusu looked at each other and smiled.

"Here." Qin Yi gently placed the pill in front of Liusu.

Liusu did not immediately accept it; the pill floated automatically in front of her, its soft, seven-colored light slowly rotating, creating a hazy, beautiful effect.

It looked at it for a while, then whispered, "I'm different from the dog. It digests for a bit and that's it. If I eat, I'll probably go to sleep. The situation is complicated right now, so I can't eat right away. You should put it away for now."

Qin Yi asked, "Can you do it like last time, wake up halfway through your sleep to beat someone up, and then go back to sleep?"

"It's possible, but I can't answer your questions if you encounter problems in your daily life. It's fine at other times, but now that Jianmu is in trouble..."

Qin Yi could tell that Liusu desperately wanted to take the pill, but was barely holding back. Compared to Gouzi's attitude, Liusu's restraint softened his heart. Without thinking, he said, "Gouzi is quite familiar with the Jianmu matter; I can usually ask him. You should just sleep peacefully. I'll bother you if I encounter any problems that I can't solve."

The Liusu swayed around him twice. "The sixth floor of Huiyang?"

"Yes. I broke through when the pill was completed."

"You think we can handle most situations..." Liusu said calmly, "After all, if something happens to Jianmu, it shouldn't concern us. If I didn't know you, you idiot, would definitely refuse, I might have chosen to intercept that third of the flow, turn it into fruit, and run away, not caring whether Jianmu withers or not."

Qin Yi: "..."

"Now that you want to cause trouble, then you'll have to bear the consequences yourself." Liusu finally picked up the pill. "My own attainment of immortality is the most important thing; what happens to the Feathered People is none of my concern."

The elixir glowed, Liusu began to absorb it.

Qin Yi sighed, "You gave up on intercepting the flow and came out to discuss it; you didn't intend for it to be so malicious. Why did you have to say such things?"

As Liusu absorbed the medicinal effects, she replied calmly, "I ultimately have to rely on you now. If you get into trouble, it won't do me any good. I have to think things through more carefully."

Qin Yi couldn't help but laugh, "That's all?"

"Of course that's how it is. Do you think I did this for you? Who doesn't do it for themselves?" Liusu finally finished absorbing the drug's effects and slipped into the ring.

Qin Yi said, "No, I'm not."

I wanted to say it last time, but I held back because I thought it was too cheesy. This time, I finally couldn't help but say it.

But the Liusu had already entered the Wolf Tooth Club and was now silent; it was unknown whether it had heard anything.

"You're such a tsundere." Qin Yi pouted. "You have to explain so much just to get a pill, and you still say you only care about yourself."

The dog nodded vigorously.

If I really didn't care, how could I possibly act like this...? Our Dog Lord almost swallowed all three pills at once, why would I care about you guys?

The dog is very proud.

Qin Yi had no idea what Gouzi, hiding in the Pill Furnace, was thinking. He himself pondered over the remaining pill.

"No Form Pill" is merely a general term for its grade; in reality, this pill has no name. The Pill Formula is a unique new pill tailored by Liusu in combination with the Xun Wood Heart and her own injuries. Of course, although it is tailor-made, its quality is evident, and it can be effective in many other situations. For example, it is very valuable for replenishing the dog's energy, and it is also valuable for others.

Its greatest value lies in its ability to help one comprehend the realm of formlessness. After all, this is truly a pill of formlessness, and those who have survived the great tribulation of formlessness will inevitably gain insights into the Great Dao, which will provide a certain boost to breaking through the threshold of formlessness.

While it's not certain that it can help people without form, such a thing doesn't exist... unless it's the Dao Fruit.

This elixir... is something that everyone would fight tooth and nail to get their hands on.

With only one left, Qin Yi didn't plan to give it to anyone immediately. Currently, it was most suitable for his mother-in-law, but frankly, no one would be that filial to their mother-in-law. Naturally, he'd save it for whichever girl in his life reached the required level first.

Or... it could become an important bargaining chip for one of the Dragon Son, perhaps holding crucial value in this perplexing situation.

As he pondered, he suddenly sensed a change in the atmosphere around him.

The vibrant, intoxicating life force that was once so intense it could make one feel intoxicated by oxygen has clearly begun to weaken.

Qin Yi suddenly looked up and watched as the green leaves in front of him slowly began to turn yellow.

It hadn't completely withered and turned yellow, but the dullness of its color was already quite obvious, like... being in the vibrancy of spring, yet suddenly seeing autumn.

Shadows loomed all around, and the winged people were rapidly approaching. Yu Feiling was the first to arrive, exclaiming, "Qin Yi, what have you been doing here these past few days?!"

Before Qin Yi could answer, Yu Shang and the other powerful Yu people arrived one after another, all staring at the Pill Furnace without saying a word.

You're really making elixirs in a tree!

Although the fire he could use with his current strength certainly wouldn't be able to burn the Jianmu tree, it didn't give a good first impression.

This perception, combined with the current situation of withering life force, leads people to think of those two terrifying vortexes, absorbing life energy as if they were risking their lives.

Judging from people's expressions, almost everyone's first reaction was that the withering of the sacred tree must be related to him.

The dog sighed softly inside the Pill Furnace: "I told you long ago, people would think we were the ones sucking its essence... but you wouldn't believe me..."

Qin Yi almost beat it to death.

It wasn't that I didn't believe it; I just never imagined that the strange phenomena you caused would be so ferocious!

What should we do now?
