Taking advantage of the unrest among the Demonic Path cultivators and the fact that the elders of the Nascent Soul stage were launching an attack on He Gui, Gongsun Lian pulled all the small and medium-sized forces and Lineage under the jurisdiction of the Spirit Taming Sect. Under a series of coercion and inducement, those who needed to collect souls were collected, and those who needed to be killed were killed. She was extremely busy.
Meanwhile, Bai Lan was not idle either; she was learning alchemy from Xuan Sha Zi inside the Void Stone.
Inside the alchemy room, Xuan Sha Zi controlled the temperature of the Pill Furnace with one hand forming a hand seal, while his other hand was free to pick spiritual herbs. However, upon closer inspection, one could see that there was a hint of worry in Xuan Sha Zi's expression.
Sitting opposite him was Bai Lan, who also had a Pill Furnace in front of her. She was currently learning Xuan Sha Zi's hand seal technique, and the pill she was refining in the Pill Furnace was for Jin Heng to give to her as a youth-preserving pill.
"Senior, do you truly not wish to see Gongsun Lian?"
"Enough, enough..." Xuan Sha Zi sighed deeply. "This is a crucial time for her to control the Demonic Palace. If I appear, whether it brings her joy or sorrow, it will surely disturb her mind. Knowing that the child is doing well puts my mind at ease..."
When Bai Lan was about to take him to see Gongsun Lian, Xuan Sha Zi kept clamoring to see Gongsun Lian. But when Bai Lan actually planned to take him to see Gongsun Lian, Xuan Sha Zi became timid instead.
She remained hidden inside the Bai Lan Orchid Ring, watching Gongsun Lian from afar, unwilling to reveal herself.
Of course, the daughter saw it through the ring, and Xuan Sha Zi also knew about the things the daughter did in Demonic Path Xuan Sha Zi.
Dozens of Demonic Path Lineage, gangs, and sects voluntarily offered a wisp of their life force for the sake of the Spirit Taming Sect cultivators.
As the battle reports were delivered to Bai Lan, Xuan Sha Zi, who was listening intently, naturally heard them all. These were all reports from his innocent and kind daughter.
"Let's leave Lian'er's matter aside for now. But Sect Leader, what exactly is your purpose?" Xuan Sha Zi suddenly looked up at Bai Lan: "Are you a member of the Demonic Palace? As Daoist Cultivator, why are you so interested in the Demonic Palace?"
"Your vision is too narrow, Senior Xuan Sha Zi. The mere Demonic Palace is nothing. Unifying the world and becoming the World's King, wouldn't that title be much more prestigious?" Bai Lan seemed to be joking.
Upon hearing this, Xuan Sha Zi's hand trembled, and the Pill Furnace in front of him shook violently. "What did you say?!"
"Stay calm, whatever you do, don't let the furnace explode. I was just kidding, you actually believed me?" Bai Lan stood up with concern and walked around Xuan Sha Zi's alchemy Pill Furnace. Seeing that it hadn't exploded, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sect Leader, please leave first. Let this old man have some peace and quiet." Xuan Sha Zi said Bai Lan. He had been watching Bai Lan refine pills for several days and he could no longer bear it.
He was a man who had experienced many trials and tribulations, and had seen many Spirit Transformation stage experts, but he had never seen a Spirit Transformation stage expert more terrifying than the Core Formation junior in front of him! He knew that Bai Lan could learn each of his hand seals, fire control Secret Method, and core gathering techniques with just a glance, and Xuan Sha Zi's heart bled whenever he thought of these.
Bai Lan shook her head helplessly, put the Spirit- Spirit Replenishing Pill that Hanxu Zi had refined for her over the past few days into her Storage Bag, and then flashed out of the Void Stone. After wandering outside for so many days, she planned to go and see the Azure Sect.
She had taken care of most of the matters in the Mist Cloud Continent, and could entrust the remaining matters to her subordinates. She planned to go into seclusion for a year to break through her Core Formation cultivation and attempt to reach the Late Core Formation stage stage. When the Ancestor Chiyue emerged from seclusion to undergo his tribulation a year later, it would be the time for her to emerge from seclusion and unify the Demonic Path path.
" True Person Bai, is that True Person Bai from Jade Purity Peak?"
"I heard that this person is the chief minister in the great battle between good and evil. If it weren't for her efforts to turn the tide, the righteous path would have suffered a terrible loss."
"I heard that this True Lord only has a low-level Spirit Root, yet back then, as a lowly servant, he fought against inner disciple and no one could fight back against that inner disciple, Long Aotian!"
"At first I thought it was because Long Aotian was too weak, but now it seems that his opponent was too strong!"
"A seemingly useless Spirit Root Underdog Comeback rose to become the sect's first Core Formation cultivator! She battled Demon Beast, slayed Devil Cultivator, and single-handedly entered and exited the heavily guarded Demon Demonic Palace seven times, killing several Core Formation Devil Cultivator. This infuriated the Old Demon He Gui, and even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was helpless against her!" Amidst the crowd, a young man in red, carrying a basket of books on his back, stood on a stone platform and loudly proclaimed, "Want to know the story of True Person Bai Bai's Underdog Comeback? For just ten Spirit Stone, you can buy the first volume of True Person Bai's cultivation history!"
Bai Lan stared blankly at the sales pitch below.
In terms of spotting business opportunities and making money, the system is indeed a step ahead of her.
She's always grabbing and scrambling, while the president earns money through his own abilities, which is truly shameful.
So how much should he be charged as royalties?
"I wonder if Jade Purity Peak is still accepting students? Although the name Jade Purity Peak sounds a bit unlucky... if I could become a disciple of True Person Bai, it would be incredibly lucky!"
"To have already Core Formation stage at such a young age, it seems that our Azure Sect will soon produce another Nascent Soul True Lord..."
Before the commotion among the crowd had even subsided, a powerful surge of spiritual energy suddenly erupted from Tongming Peak not far away. Thunderclouds gathered, dark clouds filled the sky, and lightning accompanied by the oppressive power of the Heavenly Dao appeared above Azure Sect.
"Wait, could that Fang Bi be the True Lord Lingxiao?!"
" True Lord Lingxiao's cultivation has reached the Great Perfection Core Formation stage for several years; he must be the one breaking through!"
Amidst the flashes of lightning and thunder, a bolt of lightning struck down, instantly silencing the noisy crowd.
In such a tense atmosphere, everyone held their breath, staring at Tongming Peak in the distance, waiting for the outcome of the tribulation.
Bai Lan saved her game on the spot and slowly approached Tongming Peak.
The one who has just completed the tribulation is most likely True Lord Lingxiao. He lost confidence after being repeatedly defeated by his juniors Ji Feng and himself in the Core Formation stage, so he went into seclusion to break through.
Amidst rolling thunderclouds, several more bolts of lightning struck down. The multiple layers of Defense Array that True Lord Lingxiao had set up outside Tongxiao Peak had long been destroyed, and the situation looked dire.
"... Junior Sister Bai, when did you get back?"
Standing outside Tongxiao Peak was Ji Feng, the eldest disciple of True Lord Lingxiao. Perhaps sensing that True Lord Lingxiao's aura within the formation was becoming increasingly weak, Ji Feng's face also grew paler.
"Don't worry, Uncle Ling Xiao will be fine." Bai Lan saved the game on the spot, looked up at the sky where lightning was surging, and remained calm.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Taking Bai Lan's words as a consolation, Ji Feng gave a bitter laugh, his voice weak and listless. "The tribulation itself is a matter of life and death, I'm not worried..."
Aren't you worried? You've practically crumpled True Lord Lingxiao's Storage Bag in your hands, and you still say you're not worried?
As soon as Ji Feng finished speaking, the final lightning tribulation crashed down, and the pressure of the Heavenly Dao slammed down like a giant hand, causing True Lord Lingxiao's aura to gradually dissipate.
The thunderclouds dispersed, but there were no unusual phenomena as when a cultivator Nascent Soul breakthrough.
Bai Lan shook her head helplessly, reloaded her save and returned to the previous moment, and took out a Jade Ruyi from her Storage Bag under Ji Feng's questioning gaze.
This is the Jade Ruyi of True Person Qing Xuan's soul.
Thanks to Bai Ling, True Person Qing Xuan, as the man most loved by the Daughter of Destiny, has always been lucky, even possessing a special lucky constitution that allows him to be resurrected after death.
His existence would likely make the Heavenly Dao Rules more wary and less likely to unleash devastating lightning strikes.
Before the final lightning strike crashed down, Bai Lan raised her hand and threw out the jade Jade Ruyi containing the soul of True Person Qing Xuan, blocking it above Tongxuan Peak.
Qing Xuan and True Lord Lingxiao are considered fellow disciples. If their senior brother is in trouble, it is only natural for True Person Qing Xuan, as his junior brother, to come and help.
Sure enough, the moment the Jade Ruyi blocked the sky above Tongai Peak, the Heavenly Dao pressure that had been pressing down like a giant palm suddenly stopped, turning the palm into a finger, and a lightning tribulation gently struck the Jade Ruyi. The force was so light that not even a half-splitter appeared on the Jade Ruyi.
After the final lightning strike, a purplish-red phenomenon gradually emerged above Tongsui Peak. The aura of Nascent Soul Cultivator emanated from within Tongsui Peak. In an instant, the thunderclouds dissipated, and the sky cleared, with not a cloud in sight.
"Junior Sister, what happened just now..." Anyone with eyes could see that True Lord Lingxiao most likely wouldn't have survived the final lightning tribulation. With the formation completely destroyed and all the Law Artifact damaged, True Lord Lingxiao could only rely on his physical body to withstand the final lightning tribulation. If it weren't for that strange Jade Ruyi flying out at the last moment, Master would definitely be in grave danger. "Just now... Thank you for your help, Junior Sister!"
But Bai Lan merely smiled slightly and waved her hand dismissively. Just as Ji Feng thought she was about to say something like, "No need to thank me, it was nothing,"...
"It's nothing, Senior Brother, no need to thank me. This Jade Ruyi is indeed a rare treasure. Although it costs me hundreds of thousands of Spirit Stone to use it once, it's all worth it to save Uncle Ling Xiao!" Bai Lan twirled the Jade Ruyi in his hand and said with a smile, "Today, I will shield Uncle Ling Xiao from this calamity. I don't need much, just two hundred thousand Spirit Stone will do."
After speaking, Bai Lan cupped her hands in a gesture of respect to Ji Feng's astonished gaze. "I suppose Uncle Ling Xiao needs time to consolidate his cultivation after his breakthrough. I can't stand such formalities, so I won't bother you any longer. Congratulations!"
Ji Feng's expression was complicated. "... In any case, I still want to thank my junior sister for her help. I will offer her the Spirit Stone."
This stingy senior brother thanked everyone so generously, offering Spirit Stone in such a way that Bai Lan felt a little uncomfortable.
It was indeed a piece of cake for her, and she didn't spend a single Spirit Stone. It was all thanks to Qing Xuan's good fortune... True Person Qing Xuan's life is also a life! She couldn't help for nothing, so she still had to accept the Spirit Stone.
In the past, she wouldn't have minded sitting on Tongsui Peak for a while and having a cup of tea before leaving.
Just now, Bai Lan received a long-awaited Sound Transmission Talisman from Cheng Tianfeng in the Far West Land. This kid has always been passive and rarely contacted her. Today, he suddenly took the initiative to send a voice transmission. Could it be that something big has happened?
Having found a secluded spot, Bai Lan set up a soundproof barrier on the spot and asked in a deep voice, " Cheng Tianfeng, has something happened to the Myriad Poisons Sect?"
"Sect Leader! My good Sect Leader, when will you come to the Far West Land to tread upon the Ten Myriad Poisons Sect?!" Cheng Tianfeng's voice was trembling with sobs.
"... What, has Leng Qinghan fallen in love with you?"
"This person is too terrifying! I only held hands with a fellow disciple, and his face turned so cold it could freeze you to death!" Cheng Tianfeng said with a sorrowful expression, "If this continues, I'm afraid I won't even be able to find a female cultivator to hold hands with!"
"Oh? I remember you liked Qiao'er from the Li Family in Hongyan City."
Upon hearing Qiao'er's name, Cheng Tianfeng became even more grief-stricken. "But Qiao'er only has Long Aotian in her heart. I even gave her the Foundation Establishment Stone, but she still doesn't want to marry me. What can I do!"
"..."
"Besides, if you were stared at by that man with those weird looks every day, wouldn't you feel creeped out too!" Cheng Tianfeng got goosebumps just thinking about Leng Qinghan, and rubbed his arms as he spoke.
"Bear with it, just hold on. When I conquer the Far West Land, I'll appoint you as the Grand Elder of Ten Thousand Poisons Peak!" Bai Lan said reassuringly.
Cheng Tianfeng's voice was still choked with emotion. "Really? Sect Leader, you're not lying to me, are you...?"
