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

The system's prompt voice made Luo Xuan's heart tremble.

What a guy, the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler!

It's a treasure of merit, just like Laozi's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Exquisite Pagoda.

Didn't I just refine the Thunderfall Elixir, which has similar effects to the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir?

Is the system this generous?

Little did they know, many powerful beings in the Primordial World were staring intently at the Thunderfall Elixir in the cauldron.

"Someone actually managed to refine a pill even more potent than the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir! Luo Xuan's talent is absolutely extraordinary."

Yuanshi was astonished.

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "I see the pill's color is dim. Although it far surpasses the Three-Revolutions Golden Elixir, its quality is only average."

Despite Laozi's dismissive tone, his eyes held approval. He inadvertently tucked the pill he had refined into his robes.

With such a gem before him, Laozi felt too embarrassed to show off his own pill.

What Luo Xuan refined was a new type of pill, one that could attract heavenly merit.

Compared to Luo Xuan's golden elixir, his own had a gap!

Yuanshi's eyes lit up upon hearing this. "If Big Brother thinks Luo Xuan's pill-making is subpar, then I'll take him as my disciple. He won't offend your eyes."

"Me too, me too!" Tongtian quickly chimed in, looking at Laozi just like Yuanshi.

Laozi paused slightly and coughed a few times. "While there are shortcomings, the Thunderfall Elixir is generally quite good."

"If he joins my sect, I can slowly nurture him, and he'll naturally improve."

As if I'd let such a good disciple go to someone else! Laozi thought.

Yuanshi and Tongtian wore disappointed expressions.

Shouyang Mountain.

The heavenly merit in the sky split into two once more.

The Thunderfall Elixir, nourished by the merit, emanated a profound pill qi.

Meanwhile, the merit on Luo Xuan's body entered him, instantly transforming into swirling purple qi.

Before Luo Xuan could even feel the mystery of the merit, it was absorbed by the pill within his body.

The pill acted like a bottomless pit, devouring ninety-nine percent of the merit.

Luo Xuan's vital energy surged as a result.

Until he broke through to... Early Profound Immortal.

"Luo Xuan, good, very good! It's wonderful for the human race to have you!"

Watching the light of merit slowly recede, Suiren Shi and the others approached with smiles.

Youchaoshi exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen anyone attract heavenly merit twice in such a short period."

Even now, she was filled with shock.

Suiren Shi slapped Luo Xuan's shoulder heartily, laughing.

He seemed to see the future of the human race.

Just then, a wave of Buddhist chants echoed from afar.

"What's that sound?" The Three Ancestors frowned, and Luo Xuan looked up with them.

"We happened to be passing by and didn't expect to see heavenly merit descend. Little friend, you are destined to meet us."

As they looked up, two figures appeared.

The one on the left was a bald man with a pained expression.

The one on the right was a Daoist with a compassionate look.

"Little friend, you are destined to meet us. Why not come with us to the West, to the Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss," the Daoist said in a coaxing tone.

Luo Xuan was completely bewildered.

The West? Ultimate Bliss?

Combining their appearances, Luo Xuan immediately guessed their identities.

Daoist Jieyin.

Daoist Zhunti.

The Three Ancestors couldn't discern their origins or sense their aura.

Yet, they could hover in the air, indicating they were beings more powerful than themselves.

"Greetings, two seniors."

The Three Ancestors were excited. Luo Xuan had first refined the Thunderfall Elixir, and now he had encountered powerful beings from the Primordial Era.

This is an opportunity for the human race!

The Three Pure Ones, far away on Kunlun Mountain, exploded into an uproar upon seeing this scene.

"Daoist Jieyin and Daoist Zhunti? How did those two end up on Shouyang Mountain?" Yuanshi asked, his expression full of disbelief.

Tongtian stood up and exclaimed, "Damn it, those shameless bastards must be up to no good going to Shouyang Mountain. They're definitely after Luo Xuan!"

Upon hearing the words of the Two from the West, Laozi's eyes widened. "Let's go! We have to get there before they leave! We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"

Luo Xuan was a disciple he valued highly. The Two from the West dared to poach him right under his nose.

This was absolutely intolerable!

Yuanshi and Tongtian were even more indignant.

Although it would be a pity if Luo Xuan became Laozi's disciple, the Three Pure Ones were united. If he were snatched away by the Two from the West, what would that make them?

The Two from the West did not even glance at the Three Ancestors, and seeing Luo Xuan remain silent, Jieyin asked with a smile, "Little friend, why are you dazed? Could it be that seeing beings of our realm has left you foolish with joy?"

"Once you arrive, we will certainly impart supreme divine abilities and wondrous methods to you."

If not for the presence of the two, Luo Xuan's expression would have been completely dejected.

Luo Xuan knew their personalities and didn't particularly like them.

Moreover, what kind of place was the West?

It was the main base of the Western Teachings!

Which would later become Buddhism.

Once one entered the West, putting aside everything else, one would abstain from meat and alcohol, and even have to give up lust.

The thought of such a bland life sent a shiver down Luo Xuan's spine.

What should he do?

Luo Xuan's mind raced.

"I appreciate the kind intentions of you two seniors, but I've lived and grown up on Shouyang Mountain since I was young. Leaving so suddenly makes me quite reluctant to part," he said.

"Good child!" Suiren Shi and the other two felt even more gratified upon hearing this.

"If you miss it, you can always come back to visit. Little friend, come back to the West with us."

Daoist Zhunti seemed impatient, his tone even carrying a hint of urgency.

Go tell that to the ghosts! If I go to the West, it might be difficult to even take a single step out.

Luo Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly and looked at the Three Ancestors. "Old Ancestors, I can't bear to leave you!"

"If you've finished bidding farewell, little friend, then come with us."

A trace of anxiety appeared in Daoist Zhunti's eyes, as if he was afraid of being too late.

With a wave of his hand, he reached out to grab Luo Xuan.

Suiren Shi blocked Luo Xuan behind him and said, "Senior, we are naturally happy for Luo Xuan to leave with you, but why are you in such a hurry?"

The eager attitude of the two finally made the Three Ancestors sense that something was amiss.

"Don't worry, three benefactors. Once we reach the West, we will treat him well."

Daoist Zhunti stopped wasting words, blew Suiren Shi away with a gust of wind, and stared directly at Luo Xuan.

"Luo Xuan didn't agree to go with you, did he!"

Seeing the attitude of the Two from the West, the Three Ancestors realized there was a problem and immediately summoned their merit-based spiritual treasures to engage Daoist Zhunti.

However, Daoist Zhunti was one of the top-tier powers in the Primordial Era. How could the Three Ancestors possibly be their match?

Facing the whistling flint and stone house, Daoist Zhunti sneered.

He spread his hands, and a small tree radiating treasure light appeared in his hand.

The Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree unleashed its brilliant light, and the flint and stone house immediately retreated.

Suiren Shi and the others' expressions changed drastically.

As soon as they clashed, their methods were suppressed.

"Benefactor, you have a karmic connection with our West. Please come with us, otherwise, it will be difficult for everyone to save face."

Before he finished speaking, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree's ribbon-like energy surged towards Luo Xuan.

Luo Xuan's face changed drastically, and he rapidly retreated backward.

He threw out countless items from his person.

Stone axe, bronze sword, lightning talismans...

Even after burying the system's rewards in the torrent of energy, it was useless.

Watching the approaching energy, Luo Xuan gritted his teeth. Regardless of the risk of exposure, he prepared to unleash the Hongmeng Measuring Heaven Ruler.

But before he could make a move, a strand of profound yellow energy seemed to descend from the heavens.
