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

A giant wing emerged from the fierce wind.

"Bang!"

After a piercing friction sound, the arrow finally fell, and the figure within the fierce wind paused for a moment.

In that instant of pause, Luo Xuan's eyes lit up.

The Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler in his hand flashed out.

Under the bombardment of Hongmeng energy, the fierce wind split open a gap.

It was precisely this gap that allowed Luo Xuan to escape the fierce wind.

"How dare you!"

The fierce wind closely followed Luo Xuan's figure, with gusts of wind like blades scraping at him.

"Instant Golden Body!"

"Heaven-Shrouding Miasma!"

"Earth Evasion Technique!"

Luo Xuan's body instantly became as hard as steel, resisting the fierce winds.

Immediately after, he spat out emerald-green miasma from his mouth, while he himself burrowed into the earth.

"Hmph!"

A cold snort came from within the fierce wind, but compared to his previous composure, his tone now held a hint of seriousness.

Waves of strong winds surged from within the fierce wind, heading towards the earth.

"Pfft!"

Luo Xuan couldn't withstand the blow and was forced to reveal himself, once again being swept into the fierce wind.

Hou Yi watched helplessly as the fierce wind grew further and further away; even his cultivation couldn't catch up.

"Senior is a Quasi-Saint, right?" Although it sounded like a question, Luo Xuan's tone was certain.

"Brat, you've got quite a few tricks up your sleeve. If I didn't have plans for you, I'd kill you right now."

A fierce voice came from within the fierce wind.

"Brat, you've been hiding quite deeply. To reach late-stage Golden Immortal so quickly."

Although Luo Xuan had escaped earlier, and he had seemingly captured Luo Xuan with ease, that wasn't the case.

If he hadn't used his full strength just now, he would have truly let Luo Xuan escape.

Possessing Golden Immortal cultivation but holding back, playing the pig to eat the tiger at a critical moment.

Such strength, such courage, even though Luo Xuan was far weaker than him, he still felt a trace of apprehension.

Luo Xuan's eyes were as calm as an ancient well, "Senior flatters me."

"Brat, you seem quite composed. When the time comes, I will peel away your secrets layer by layer."

His tone was filled with naked malice.

Chapter 26: Just Because He's My Disciple

With Golden Immortal realm cultivation, he had almost escaped from a Quasi-Saint.

This brat must have secrets besides his alchemy skills!

The various divine abilities Luo Xuan had just displayed flashed through his mind.

And then he thought about what would happen if these secrets fell into his hands...

He had secretly come to Shouyang Mountain back then.

He discovered that Luo Xuan was either in seclusion cultivating or refining pills.

Not only did Shouyang Mountain have three Golden Immortal realm ancestors, but there were also large numbers of the Witch Clan patrolling.

And the secret this brat held might allow his cultivation to advance further.

Even the Demon Emperor Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi were no match for him!

Upon thinking of this, his heart burned with desire, wishing he could immediately extract Luo Xuan's alchemy skills and then tear him to pieces.

Luo Xuan wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and swallowed a few healing pills, only then did he feel some relief.

"Aren't you worried about the Witch Clan causing trouble for the Demon Race? Does the Demon Emperor Di Jun know about this?"

That teasing voice sounded, "Brat, what makes you so sure I'm from the Demon Race?"

Luo Xuan chuckled, "It's not hard to guess. To be able to effortlessly evade Hou Yi's senses and block his arrow, you must be a Quasi-Saint."

"There are only a few Quasi-Saints among all the myriad races in the Primordial Era. In the entire Primordial Era, who else would be so hostile towards our Human Race, even kidnapping me, besides the Demon Race?"

Luo Xuan shifted into a more comfortable position. Seeing that the other party remained silent, he continued, "In the Heavenly Court, there is only one person who can possess such speed."

"Demon Master Kunpeng, am I correct?"

Kunpeng was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "Brat, sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing."

Luo Xuan smiled without speaking, his mind racing.

At first, Luo Xuan had indeed intended to hide his cultivation and catch Kunpeng off guard.

It was just that the power of a Quasi-Saint was even greater than he had imagined.

Once he reached the Demon Race, his life would no longer be in his own hands.

What should he do?

Luo Xuan recalled his trump cards again and again.

Suddenly, his eyes moved.

Laozi's token!

But before he could take out the token, the malevolent wind transformed from Kunpeng stopped.

"Go back where you came from. Leave the person behind."

Laozi's voice?

Luo Xuan was astonished. He hadn't even finished thinking about the token before Laozi arrived?

The malevolent wind surged up and down, and Kunpeng said coldly, "Who are you, fellow Daoist? I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs."

Within the malevolent wind, Kunpeng's eyes held a hint of apprehension.

He couldn't quite see through the old man in green robes before him.

Laozi paused his hand stroking his beard and said, "Is this how Di Jun manages his subordinates?"

Kunpeng's heart skipped a beat. Who exactly was this person? He dared to call the Demon Emperor by name!

Laozi waved his Daoist robe and said, "Remember this, the foremost of the Three Pure Ones of Kunlun Mountain, Laozi."

A wisp of pure energy shot towards the malevolent wind.

The malevolent wind instantly and quietly dissipated, revealing Kunpeng's form.

In his hand, Luo Xuan's breathing was weak.

Seeing Luo Xuan in this state, a cold glint flashed in Laozi's eyes.

Kunpeng's eyes were filled with horror, not only because of the old man's methods but also because of his identity.

Below Dao Ancestor Hongjun and Empress Wa, he was the strongest in the Primordial Era!

After a long while, Kunpeng finally calmed his shock.

Kunpeng narrowed his eyes and said, feigning ferocity, "Fellow Daoist Laozi, please forgive me. I didn't know your identity just now. If I offended you in any way, please bear with me."

"It's just that this child is someone the Demon Emperor specifically asked for. You should concern yourself less with the affairs of the Heavenly Court."

He thought that by showing Laozi some respect and then mentioning Di Jun, he could resolve the matter.

Unexpectedly, Laozi chuckled, his beard trembling, "What if I insist on meddling?"

Kunpeng's expression changed slightly, "Are you trying to fall out with the Demon Emperor, fellow Daoist?"

Laozi's face turned cold and he said, "You, of all people, are worthy of addressing me as 'fellow Daoist'?"

As he spoke, his white jade staff arrived in an instant.

Kunpeng let out a scream.

Being a Quasi-Saint himself, he couldn't even see how Laozi had attacked.

Kunpeng lowered his head, a venomous look flashing in his eyes, "Why do you protect a Human Race member like this, fellow Daoist?"

Laozi's expression finally softened, and he said solemnly, "He is my disciple. Is that reason enough?"

"What?!"

Kunpeng was completely flustered.

Why could Luo Xuan refine pills? Did Empress Wa not help the Demon Race recruit humans because she truly cared about the Human Race?

Countless thoughts flashed through Kunpeng's mind.

At this moment, he seemed to understand many things.

Now, Kunpeng felt that Luo Xuan in his hand was not an opportunity, but rather a hot potato.

Kunpeng quietly took a few steps back and said, "Senior, please understand. I didn't know Luo Xuan was your disciple. The entire Heavenly Court didn't know either. I will release him now."

"Another day, I will definitely accompany the Demon Emperor to Kunlun Mountain to apologize in person!"

As the word "apologize" fell, Kunpeng suddenly threw Luo Xuan away, transformed into his true Kunpeng form, and fled.

"You injured my disciple, and you think you can just leave like this?"

Laozi snorted coldly, not even looking at Kunpeng.

The white jade staff reappeared, this time even more ferocious than before.

"Roar!"
