Primordial Era: Becoming Laozi's Disciple, I Forge the Mythical Golden Elixir

Kunpeng was instantly struck as if by lightning, a gash deep enough to see bone opening on his back.

Kunpeng's eyes grew even more venomous, but he endured the excruciating pain and fled swiftly.

After the strike, Laozi retracted his White Jade Flat Crutch, his eyes constantly fixed on Luo Xuan's falling figure.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda appeared above his head.

A mass of profound yellow energy enveloped Luo Xuan layer by layer, and he finally landed safely.

Freed from Kunpeng's grasp, Luo Xuan finally regained his freedom. He happily stretched his muscles and bones, and upon seeing Laozi descend, he cupped his hands and said, "Many thanks, Master!"

Laozi examined Luo Xuan's injuries repeatedly and snorted, "That Kunpeng got off easy. Next time we meet, I'll repay your injuries tenfold."

"You beast, don't run! Let go of Brother Luo!"

Hou Yi saw Luo Xuan and looked around, angrily shouting, "Where is that beast? Come out!"

At this moment, Suiren Shi and others also hurried over.

Luo Xuan asked in surprise, "Ancestor, why did you follow?"

The three were merely Golden Immortals, while Kunpeng was a Quasi-Saint.

Even with Hou Yi added, they likely couldn't defeat Kunpeng.

Suiren Shi said gravely, "Luo Xuan, you are the hope of our Human Race. Even if we old fellows die, we cannot let you suffer the slightest harm."

Seeing Suiren Shi's extremely serious expression, Luo Xuan felt a surge of emotion.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, he was already driven away by my Master."

At Luo Xuan's gesture, everyone finally noticed Laozi in mid-air.

"Many thanks, Senior Laozi!"

Suiren Shi and the others bowed respectfully.

Luo Xuan recounted the events roughly. Although he spoke of it lightly, the Three Ancestors understood.

If Laozi hadn't arrived in time, they would likely be filled with regret today.

Hou Yi glared at Laozi with an unfriendly expression, "Why are people from Kunlun Mountain here?"

Laozi acted as if he completely ignored Hou Yi's attitude.

He nodded slightly to the Three Ancestors as a greeting, then looked at Luo Xuan.

"The thousand years have arrived. It's time to return to Kunlun with me."

"Leaving now?" The Three Ancestors and others were surprised.

Suddenly recalling, they realized the thousand-year deadline had arrived.

Luo Xuan nodded as if it were natural, saying, "Indeed, it's time to go."

Hearing this, Suiren Shi and the others looked at Luo Xuan with a hint of reluctance.

Luo Xuan smiled upon seeing this and said, "Ancestor, the Demon Race is powerful. You must be more careful in the future."

"Also, regarding the elixirs promised to the myriad races of the Primordial Era, you must keep an eye on them after I leave..."

Luo Xuan didn't find it troublesome and clarified those matters.

Although it was only a thousand years, the Human Race, with Luo Xuan's help, had already stabilized.

Suiren Shi laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, we know about these things."

"Brother Luo, what about my Witch Clan if you leave?" Hou Yi quickly asked.

Those low-grade elixirs refined by the Human Race weren't very useful to the higher-ranking members of the Witch Clan.

Luo Xuan saw Hou Yi's thoughts and smiled, "Brother Hou Yi, come to Kunlun every so often, and I will prepare elixirs for the Witch Clan."

"As for the Human Race, please protect them more. Do not let the Demon Race find any loopholes."

Hou Yi's face immediately lit up with joy, "Brother Luo, don't worry. With me here, no demon will be able to step into Shouyang Mountain!"

Seeing that Luo Xuan had finished his instructions, Laozi nodded and said, "Let's return to Kunlun."

As the words fell, a cloud of mist rose beneath Laozi and Luo Xuan's feet, and they flew towards the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared from everyone's sight.

Leng Yan had been waiting there the entire time. When the gale had swept Luo Xuan away, she was filled with regret, thinking she shouldn't have brought Luo Xuan away from Shouyang Mountain.

When she saw Suiren Shi and the others return, she hurried forward and asked, "Ancestor, was Brother Xuan rescued?"

Leng Yan looked behind Suiren Shi but didn't see Luo Xuan.

Could he have truly been captured by the Demon Race?

Leng Yan's face immediately turned pale.

Seeing Leng Yan's expression, Youchaoshi quickly said, "Don't worry, he wasn't captured by the Demon Race. He was taken away by Senior Laozi from Kunlun Mountain..."

As everyone recounted the events, Leng Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is this Kunlun... truly a sight that even the heavens might not possess, a boundless paradise on earth."

Luo Xuan took a deep breath, admiring the beautiful scenery before him.

The majestic mountains appeared grand and magnificent, and the dense, giant trees looked like a layer of emerald green outer clothing.

Amidst the surging clouds and mist, a flock of birds could be vaguely seen.

The entire Kunlun Immortal Mountain was like a fairyland.

With every breath, Luo Xuan could feel the rich spiritual energy that Shouyang Mountain lacked.

Although cultivating the Primordial Pill Body did not cause his cultivation to skyrocket in an instant.

His body and mind felt as if they had been completely cleansed.

Hearing Luo Xuan's words, Laozi slightly puffed out his chest, his eyes filled with joy.

Looking at Luo Xuan's delighted expression, Laozi said calmly, "It's nothing. We're almost at Kunlun Mountain, brace yourself."

Although he said this, Laozi couldn't help but feel a bit proud.

When Laozi lifted the restriction, the mist finally dispersed.

Luo Xuan could now finally see everything on Kunlun Mountain clearly.

At the peak of Kunlun Mountain stood a magnificent grand hall, enveloped in the aura of the Great Dao.

Around the grand hall were three slightly smaller palaces, subtly forming a tripartite formation around the central hall.

Laozi explained, "Those three places are the dojos of us Three Pure Ones. We usually cultivate in seclusion there. That one is my Taiqing Palace."

Laozi pointed to one of the palaces and then gestured towards the central hall.

"This is where we, the Three Pure Ones, gather to discuss the Dao."

With that, Laozi led Luo Xuan closer to the grand hall.

Upon entering the hall, the feeling of the Dao's aura became even more distinct.

Looking at the three futons in the hall, Luo Xuan seemed to see three figures.

Within the hall, there were also three dark corridors leading to the secluded cultivation areas of the Three Pure Ones.

Just then, a hearty laugh echoed from one of the corridors, "Nephew Luo is here?"

A middle-aged figure slowly emerged, Yuanshi looking at Luo Xuan with a smile.

"Since you've come to Kunlun, you are now one of us. I have nothing much to give you, but I'll gift you this Profound Light Sword, which I refined in my leisure time."

As he spoke, a long sword floated in the air.

Although he said it lightly, upon closer inspection, this artifact was a Post-celestial Supreme Treasure!

It was known that in the current Primordial Era, very few possessed Post-celestial Supreme Treasures, and even fewer could refine them.

Luo Xuan himself only had the Five Directions Cauldron as a Post-celestial Supreme Treasure so far.

"Brother Er is indeed generous, gifting a Post-celestial Supreme Treasure right away. But Luo Xuan excels at alchemy, so a sword might not be suitable for him, right?"

As he spoke, Tongtian's figure also emerged from another corridor.

He glanced at Yuanshi and chuckled, "Luo Xuan, I have an array here called the Qi Locking Array."

"You can use this array to accelerate the growth of Spiritual Roots, and you can also use it against other powerful beings."

"As long as their cultivation isn't too much higher than yours, it can restrain them."

With that, Tongtian provocatively glanced at Yuanshi.

Yuanshi gritted his teeth and looked at Tongtian, sparks seemingly flying from their eyes.

Luo Xuan was somewhat bewildered.

The Three Pure Ones hadn't even established their sects yet, and they already had conflicts?

Luo Xuan didn't know that their behavior was all because of him.

With such talent, it was a pity they couldn't take him as a disciple, but they could build a good relationship!

As long as they built a good relationship, wouldn't Luo Xuan be the first to think of them when he refined any elixirs in the future?

Luo Xuan, with a wry smile, quickly said, "Thank you both, Uncle-Masters. This is the Fifth-turn Profound Soul Elixir that I refined not long ago. I hope you won't find it wanting."

Upon seeing Luo Xuan's attitude, they both happily accepted the elixirs and stopped arguing.

Laozi immediately understood what his two brothers were up to and said with a dark expression, "Second Brother, Third Brother, Luo Xuan has just arrived at my Kunlun, and I need to impart the Dao to him. We won't talk further."

As he finished speaking, Laozi walked into the third corridor without looking back.

Luo Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and followed Laozi into the Taiqing Palace.

"One gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, three gives birth to all things..."

As soon as he sat down, Laozi began to lecture.
