Primordial Era: Apprenticeship Under Laozi, I Forge Mythical Golden Elixirs

Before they could even scream, they turned into dust.

"Good!"

Hou Yi watched Luo Xuan, his eyes shining brightly.

He had clearly seen the cultivation of the two giant birds just now; they were genuine Golden Immortals.

Yet Luo Xuan, who appeared to be only a Mysterious Immortal, had killed them both in a single move.

The Witch Clan was warlike, and seeing Luo Xuan's formidable strength, Hou Yi felt his blood boil.

Originally, he had only been interested in Luo Xuan's alchemy skills, but now, Hou Yi completely accepted Luo Xuan as a friend from the bottom of his heart.

Seeing his two capable subordinates so easily dispatched by Luo Xuan, Dang Hu's expression instantly turned grim.

"Human, you'd best surrender now, or I'll make you wish you were dead."

Luo Xuan's expression was calm as he looked up at Dang Hu, "You just said you were going to Shouyang Mountain?"

Dang Hu's expression was arrogant, "Indeed. I, Dang Hu, have come to round up the humans."

Luo Xuan glanced at the alchemy furnace beside him and said thoughtfully, "Because of alchemy techniques?"

Dang Hu nodded, "Exactly. As long as those alchemists are willing to submit to me, I guarantee your human race will have a place in this Primordial Era."

Luo Xuan smiled playfully, "No need to go to Shouyang Mountain. The human race's alchemy techniques were all taught by me."

"Really?" Dang Hu's eyes suddenly lit up.

He laughed heartily twice and said, "Good! Since that's the case, I won't go to Shouyang Mountain either. You quickly return with me to the Demon Clan and pass on everything you know to us, helping our Demon Clan with alchemy."

Dang Hu spoke as if it were a matter of course.

Luo Xuan's lips twitched, "What if I refuse?"

Dang Hu sneered, "Refuse? Then I'll capture you first, and then round up all the humans. Anyone who disagrees, I'll kill!"

Looking at Dang Hu's arrogant demeanor, a flash of disgust appeared in Luo Xuan's eyes.

"Since that's the case, then you can die."

"You're seeking death!" Dang Hu's face instantly turned red.

Dang Hu's figure flickered, and he lunged straight at Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan let out a cold snort, and the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand shot out.

"A nice treasure, too bad the one using it is too weak."

Dang Hu let out a mocking laugh, and two golden beams shot out from the eyes on his big beard.

"Boom!"

The moment they collided, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler let out a loud bang and then flew backward.

Dang Hu's eyes were filled with contempt as he laughed heartily, "I thought you were so powerful, but you're just so-so."

"Grand Unity Golden Immortal!" Luo Xuan's eyes narrowed as he finally recognized Dang Hu's cultivation level.

Dang Hu became even more smug and shouted, "Human, kneel down now and acknowledge me as your master, and I might consider sparing your life."

Hou Yi, watching from the side, couldn't stand it anymore and angrily said, "Dang Hu, you're quite the hotshot. Anyone who didn't know would think Di Jun himself had arrived."

Dang Hu's eyes turned cold, "I intended to deal with you after I settled the human affairs, but I didn't expect you to jump out yourself."

Hou Yi picked at his ear and said, "Just a mere small demon. I've never even heard of the name Dang Hu."

"Die!" Dang Hu's eyes flashed with rage.

Two golden beams shot out again.

But when they hit Hou Yi, they only splashed out a few sparks and didn't even leave a scratch.

"How is this possible?!" Dang Hu was shocked.

Hou Yi laughed heartily, "It's my turn now."

As he spoke, Hou Yi took down his sturdy bow, and arrows shot out towards Dang Hu like streaks of silk.

Dang Hu exclaimed in disbelief, "Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal!"

Without any hesitation, he retreated rapidly.

But the arrows seemed to have eyes, accurately pursuing Dang Hu.

"You... you can't kill me!"

"I am a guardian under Demon Marshal Ying Zhao of the Heavenly Court!"

"If you kill me, the Witch Clan will have to face the wrath of the Heavenly Court!"

His voice immediately became sharp.

But no matter what he said, Hou Yi remained unmoved.

Finally, amidst the arrows, Dang Hu let out a scream and fell.

The bird demons nearby watched, trembling with fear.

"Peak Grand Unity Golden Immortal... skilled with a bow and arrow... It's Hou Yi! Great Witch Hou Yi! Run!"

With Dang Hu dead, the bird demons immediately fell into chaos. Upon hearing these words, the flock of bird demons no longer hesitated and turned to flee.

"Running quite fast," Hou Yi snorted.

Then Hou Yi went to where Dang Hu had fallen. Dang Hu's corpse, two to three times larger than Hou Yi himself, was lifted effortlessly by Hou Yi as if it were a feather.

"Boom."

Hou Yi threw Dang Hu's corpse in front of Luo Xuan, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

"Brother Luo Xuan, since this thing came looking for you, it's yours. A demon of the Grand Unity realm is full of treasures. It should be enough for you to refine pills, right?" Hou Yi said with a simple, honest smile.

Luo Xuan looked tempted, but still shook his head. "How can that be? Brother Hou Yi, you're the one who killed him."

"Why be polite with me? We're friends."

After a few polite refusals, Luo Xuan finally agreed.

Hou Yi smiled, "Brother Luo Xuan, what I mentioned earlier about helping our Witch Clan refine pills, have you considered it?"

"Don't worry, if you agree, there will definitely be plenty of benefits."

Luo Xuan nodded and smiled, "Before that, I have one condition."

Hou Yi was overjoyed and said, "No problem, tell me what your condition is."

Luo Xuan smiled, "It's a big deal for the human race to help the Witch Clan refine pills. I want to talk to the Ancestral Witches."

"You want to see an Ancestral Witch?" Hou Yi was startled by this.

"Brother Luo Xuan, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you know the status of the Ancestral Witches. I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Hou Yi seemed troubled.

This was not an excuse. In the hearts of the Witch Clan, even Hongjun couldn't compare to the Twelve Ancestral Witches in importance.

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Don't worry, Brother Hou Yi, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Not long ago, Tai Qing of Kunlun Mountain accepted me as his disciple. This status should be enough to meet an Ancestral Witch, right?"

As he spoke, Luo Xuan summoned his purple-gold gourd.

Upon seeing the purple-gold gourd, Hou Yi finally believed Luo Xuan.

After some thought, Hou Yi nodded, "Alright, I'll head back now. But, Brother Luo Xuan, could you give me a few more of those pills?"

Looking at Hou Yi's honest expression, Luo Xuan smiled and refined a few more cauldrons of Thunderfire Pills.

It wasn't until Hou Yi left that Luo Xuan returned to Shouyang Mountain and immediately found the Three Ancestors to discuss the matter.

"Good! Excellent!"

Sui Ren slapped his thigh, jumping up excitedly.

Ziyi Clan's eyes were also filled with surprise. "The Witch Clan is one of the top clans in the Primordial Era."

"With their help, the status of our human race will be even more stable."

"Luo Xuan, we really owe you this time."

The Three Ancestors looked at Luo Xuan, their eyes filled with emotion. At this moment, in the hearts of the Three Ancestors, Luo Xuan was no less important than they were.

Meanwhile, Hou Yi rushed back to the Witch Clan without delay.

Without even resting, he headed towards the Pangu Temple.

Chapter 14: Hou Tu Prepares to Meet Luo Xuan

The massive Pangu Temple was inscribed with many patterns.

It looked ancient and weathered, as if it had existed since the opening of the Primordial Era.

"Boom!"

The heavy doors opened, and Hou Yi entered the Pangu Temple alone.

"Greetings, Ancestral Witch!"

In the dim hall, pairs of eyes suddenly lit up.

Di Jiang's deep voice echoed, "Hou Yi, it's not time to sacrifice to the Father God yet. Why have you come to the Pangu Temple? Is there something important?"

Hou Yi respectfully replied, "Reporting to Lord Di Jiang, I have found a type of pill, and I wish to offer some for you lords to try."

"Pills? Isn't that something those people from the Three Pure Ones refine?"

Di Jiang's voice carried surprise and a hint of mockery.

They had approached the Three Pure Ones before. After several attempts, the Three Pure Ones had reluctantly agreed to give them pills, demanding a large amount of Witch Clan essence blood in exchange.

As a result, after consuming the pills, they found that the items had very little effect on their cultivation.

So when they heard Hou Yi mention pills, they were somewhat dismissive.

Hou Yi couldn't refute him and said, "These pills are different from those. Ancestral Witches can try them first."
