Five Directions Realm
The Five Directions Realm.
The Northern Continent had long been ravaged, turned into a vast Blood Sea, and even the North Sea was gradually being eroded.
Located in the North Sea Northern Continent, on the border of the Blood Sea, there is a strange place.
This place is neither in the sky, nor on the ground, nor even underground; it seems to be embedded between heaven and earth, within and outside the void, where swarms of locusts fly about.
Buzz~
Buzz~
Buzz~
Millions of locusts flapped their wings, buzzing restlessly, drawing out all the deepest, most chaotic thoughts from the human heart. They flew haphazardly, tracing paths through the air, leaving no trace, like waves of sound.
But from all directions, above and below, they all converged on one point—
Boom!
A figure was struck by millions of locusts.
"Puff!"
Fairy Yanlan appeared in the void, revealing her form, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face grew increasingly pale.
But holding a magical herb emitting a yellow glow in her hand, a beautiful smile unconsciously appeared on her pale face.
"The Locust Immortal Herb is in hand."
"Walk!"
This is a dangerous place; one should not linger.
Without looking back at the 'Locust Demon Sound Sea', Fairy Yanlan plunged into the earth, merging with the vegetation and disappearing from sight.
A moment later.
A ripple appeared in the void, and a bewitching woman landed in the 'Locust Demon Sound Sea'.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Countless locusts swarmed in, showing their affection. With each flap of their wings, they emitted a pleasant sound, no longer irritating, but rather like celestial music.
"Fairy Yanlan".
"The Locust Immortal Herb possesses vigorous vitality and contains boundless life force. Could it be that she risked everything to venture into the Locust Demon Sound Sea in search of Ding Yu?"
The alluring woman frowned slightly, a hint of surprise and doubt showing on her pretty face.
If Fairy Yanlan were here, she would surely recognize that this person is none other than the 'Venerable Tianyin,' one of the Seven Immortal Venerable of the Longevity Gate. He inherited the 'Red Dust Sound Demon Sect,' one of the 108 sects of the Five Directions Realm, and cultivated the 'Tianyin Art.' He is most skilled in sound attacks and wields the 'Locust Demon Sound Sea,' which is quite bizarre and difficult to deal with.
Fortunately.
Although besieged by endless locusts, his injuries were not light.
However, before even meeting the Venerable Tianyin, Fairy Yanlan entered the Locust Demon Sound Sea and stole the 'Locust Immortal Herb'.
There were no setbacks.
Another elixir has been obtained.
The years that followed.
Fairy Yanlan ventured into numerous perilous situations.
For example, the 'Invisible Demon Wind Tide' is a place with three thousand elves, each of whom has mastered the great art of raging winds. They can stir up demonic winds that erode people's will and soul, and rot their flesh and bones.
Even if Mahayana True Immortal enters, they will still be attacked by the demonic wind spirits and suffer severe injuries.
Fairy Yanlan braved the endless demonic winds and ventured deep into the tides to pick three 'Ten Myriad-Blade Immortal Fruit' from the 'Myriad-Blade Immortal Tree'. In the end, she escaped with disheveled hair and covered in blood.
Another example is the 'Sacred Flame Purgatory,' which is inhabited by countless fire spirits and Flame Lord. The Sea of Fire is endless and can refine all things.
However, a 'Golden-Tendrilled Ten-Petal Flower' grows within it, containing strands of golden threads and radiating a warm glow like the Morning Sun. It is the best spiritual material for refining elixirs and Fusion immortal medicines and spirit medicine.
With the help of this elixir, the success rate of refining immortal pills can be multiplied.
Fairy Yanlan ventured in alone.
He returned charred black, but finally brought back the 'Golden-Tendrilled Ten-Petal Flower'.
There are also 'Myriad Thunder Heavenly Chasm', 'Spirit Radiance Mountains-and-Seas Realm', 'Aurora Evernight City'...
It's either naturally dangerous or treacherous, or teeming with demons.
Both are desperate situations.
Fairy Yanlan broke in one after another.
Some succeeded, gathering the elixir and returning home, but at a cost, suffering severe injuries. Others failed, not only failing to gather the elixir but also suffering even greater injuries.
In this way.
Time continues to pass, and the three-thousand-year deadline is drawing ever closer.
Fairy Yanlan became even more insane.
He risked his life to brave perilous situations and searched the world for miraculous medicines. He ignored the old and new wounds on his body, old wounds not yet healed and new ones added.
It's shocking.
More than 2,500 years have passed in the blink of an eye.
This day.
The Fairy Yanlan, weary from her journey, arrived at the Bamboo Mountain Sea. A void opened up, revealing a path that led directly to the Bamboo Mountain Paradise.
"Senior."
"This is the 'Evernight Immortal Lingzhi' grown in the 'Aurora Evernight City.' I wonder if it can be used as the final main ingredient in the 'Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill'?"
Fairy Yanlan was utterly exhausted, her eyes dim yet filled with hope. Holding a luminous celestial mushroom in her hands, she gazed intently at the barefoot boy before her and asked expectantly.
"Evernight Immortal Lingzhi".
"It can greatly replenish vital energy, replenish Qi and Blood, and strengthen the spirit and soul."
Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes and saw the Evernight Immortal Lingzhi in Fairy Yanlan's hand. He nodded and said, "This immortal herb is perfect for refining the 'Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill'."
"Very good!"
Fairy Yanlan was overjoyed upon hearing this.
In this way, her three entries and exits from 'Aurora Evernight City' and her death battle with the City of Evernight lord were not in vain. Her beautiful eyes looked at the white-haired Ding Yu in front of Lu Qingfeng, and her eyes suddenly brightened.
Lu Qingfeng accepted the Evernight Immortal Lingzhi and his gaze fell on Fairy Yanlan.
His spirits were low and his condition was poor.
"Foolish woman!"
Lu Qingfeng shook his head inwardly, but said aloud, "Now that the elixirs have been gathered, I will begin refining the elixir."
"Yanlan will protect you, senior!"
Fairy Yanlan was overjoyed and exclaimed repeatedly.
Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.
With a flick of his Pure Bamboo Staff, a three-legged cauldron spun in the air before landing on the ground.
"The Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill".
This is a miraculous elixir that can repair life and strengthen vitality, with the effect of bringing the dead back to life. Once refined, it is enough to sustain the life force depleted by a peak True Immortal like Ding Yu for three months.
Ding Yu also aims to reach the realm of Earth Immortal within these short three months.
Once missed, one dies and one's soul vanishes, with no way to save oneself. One can only start over in the next life, but one must go through the mystery of reincarnation, which is beyond one's control.
Besides.
Because he was on his deathbed and feared he wouldn't have enough strength for advancement, Lu Qingfeng had Fairy Yanlan collect two main ingredients for refining the 'Azure Nether Immortal Pill' among the immortal herbs.
Entering and exiting the azure sky.
He is the Changsheng!
This Azure Nether Immortal Pill is a supreme treasure that helps True Immortal advance to Earth Immortal status.
Fairy Yanlan has been searching for the elixir of immortality for two thousand five hundred and thirty-seven years.
During this period.
While cultivating, Lu Qingfeng also used the "Enlightenment" technique to thoroughly understand the refining methods of the "Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill" and the "Azure Nether Immortal Pill." He also experimented with them multiple times in his dreams, striving to succeed in one go.
Now is the time to see the true test.
Boom!
The Pure Heavenly Fire ignited and fell beneath the Pill Furnace, beginning the refining of the 'Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill'.
Fanning the fire.
Wash the stove.
Quenching the medicine.
Without any hesitation, Lu Qingfeng immediately began refining the elixir.
Fairy Yanlan stood to the side, her heart pounding in her chest. It had taken her over 2,500 years to gather these celestial herbs. If she failed, not only would she be one of a kind, but even if there were more, she would likely be powerless to obtain them again.
It has to succeed!
Seeing the barefoot boy refining the elixir, casually tossing one spirit medicine after another into the furnace for tempering, Fairy Yanlan felt a slight sense of relief. "With such skill, he will surely succeed!"
It's like a prayer.
It's also like a way of finding peace within oneself.
Fairy Yanlan concealed her nervousness, but the sweat on her palms revealed her inner turmoil.
Time passes.
Lu Qingfeng possessed Six Roots Purified, untouched by worldly defilements. When refining pills, he was undisturbed by any distracting thoughts, focusing intently on his task. His refining state advanced to its optimal level without any adjustment.
He had a profound understanding of the Pill Formula.
Having mastered all the key points, one can naturally handle things with ease.
However, the elixir of immortality is difficult to refine.
With Lu Qingfeng's True Immortal cultivation level, he absolutely could not rush the refining process. Fortunately, Fairy Yanlan was attentive, and there was still three thousand years to spare, so Lu Qingfeng proceeded with the refining process slowly and methodically, seeking only to be safe.
One year.
Two years.
Ten years.
Twenty years.
Sixty years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Sixth, seventh, and eighth-grade spirit medicine were thrown into the Pill Furnace, occasionally mixed with first to fifth-grade spirit medicine. Upon closer inspection, there were 108 types of spirit medicine alone, ranging from first to eighth grade. In addition, there were 365 types of ordinary medicinal materials that did not fall into the spiritual grade.
This is why Fairy Yanlan, who leads the vast Immortal Farmer Sect and cultivates spirit medicine herbs to establish the sect, was able to gather all of them. For an ordinary True Immortal, simply gathering these spirit medicine would be extremely difficult, no less so than obtaining immortal medicines.
Each batch of spirit medicine and ordinary medicinal materials is refined.
In the twenty-second year, Lu Qingfeng placed the "Evernight Immortal Lingzhi" that Fairy Yanlan had stolen from the "Aurora Evernight City" three times into the Pill Furnace.
This made Fairy Yanlan's heart tighten.
As the head of the Immortal Farmer Sect, even if she loses an eighth-grade spirit medicine, she can find a replacement. But if the 'Evernight Immortal Lingzhi' goes wrong during its refining, finding a replacement will be much more difficult.
Fortunately.
The barefoot boy had a calm expression and his hands were extremely steady.
Year after year has passed.
There were no errors.
In the thirty-first year, the barefoot boy threw the 'Glazed Immortal Peach' that grew in the peach blossom miasma of the Immortal Farmer Sect Peach Blossom Miasma into the Pill Furnace.
The forty-ninth year.
Fairy Yanlan forcibly broke into the 'Locust Demon Sound Sea' and stole the 'Locust Immortal Herb' to put into the Pill Furnace.
The fifty-fourth year.
The 'White Dragon Grass' obtained from the Nether Yin Prefecture was put into the furnace.
By the sixtieth year.
It had been exactly sixty years since the furnace was opened to refine pills. Only then did Lu Qingfeng peel off five petals from the "Golden-Tendrilled Ten-Petal Flower" that Fairy Yanlan had picked from the "Sacred Flame Purgatory" and put them into the furnace.
Three hours later.
The Pill Furnace emitted a misty aura.
Pure Yang energy arose from nothing and spread out.
"It's done?!"
Exhausted, Fairy Yanlan immediately perked up upon seeing this strange phenomenon. Upon closer inspection, she saw the Pill Furnace trembling, with bursts of immortal energy seemingly both releasing and not leaking out.
The barefoot boy's hands flew, Hand Seals that created phantom images. One after another, the hand seals landed in the Pill Furnace, causing bursts of air explosions to emanate from within, which stirred the mind of Fairy Yanlan.
This was repeated nineteen times.
"Puff!"
The lid of the Pill Furnace was blown off, and billions of immortal lights burst forth. In the next instant, a stream of light mixed in with it, as if it wanted to escape to the heavens.
"Ha ha!"
"Where do you think you're going!"
The child's tender voice echoed in the Bamboo Mountain Paradise.
He held Green Bamboo Staff and gently circled it in the air. The stream of light stopped and was drawn towards the boy. The boy raised his hand and took out a Pure Jade Bottle to catch the stream of light.
"Senior--"
Upon seeing this, Fairy Yanlan's beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the barefoot boy and then at the Pure Jade Bottle in his hand, her breathing becoming rapid without her realizing it.
"The elixir is complete!"
The boy spoke in a clear, crisp voice.
This delighted Fairy Yanlan, who was speechless for a moment.
"The Heaven-Mending Immortal Pill".
Lu Qingfeng glanced at the Pure Jade Bottle in his hand, feeling a surge of joy. Seeing a miraculous elixir emanating from the Pure Jade Bottle, he felt somewhat relieved.
Nonstop.
They've started refining the 'Azure Nether Immortal Pill' again!
Seeing this, Fairy Yanlan dared not disturb her, but her heart was in her throat again.
A new week begins, please vote for me!
