My Lady, why is she so concerned about Li Yan?

One-Eyed Immortal Elder, in front of outsiders, always acted like he had no one in his eyes.

But when facing these celestial women from White Jade Capital, he behaved extremely respectfully.

The several celestial women who came to relay a message asked about Li Yan's situation.

"One-Eyed Immortal Elder, the great one above asks, it has been more than ten days, has Li Yan's cultivation improved?"

One-Eyed Immortal Elder, bowing low, respectfully replied, "Replying to you sisters, that cultivator named Li Yan is almost at the second level of the Spirit Transformation Stage."

"With his current cultivation speed, and with the Spirit Liquid that this old one has carefully concocted for him."

"Within a year, he will surely break through the Spirit Transformation Stage and reach the Void Refining Stage."

"Once he reaches the Void Refining Stage, he can ascend to immortality!"

As he spoke, One-Eyed Immortal Elder's eyes darted around, and he cautiously inquired.

"May I ask you sisters, why is the great one above so concerned about Li Yan?"

"Although he is exceptionally talented, the great one asks every two or three days, isn't that a bit..."

One-Eyed Immortal Elder voiced his confusion. Why did that great one inquire every few days?

It was completely illogical...

It was like a distinguished guest at a restaurant who liked the restaurant's signature roast chicken, but would the guest ask about the free-range chickens in the farmhouse every day?

No, right?

Who would care about the condition of a free-range chicken every day before attending a feast?

Faced with One-Eyed Immortal Elder's question, several celestial women coldly snorted, "Impudent! How dare you, old slave, speculate about the great one's thoughts?"

Upon hearing this, One-Eyed Immortal Elder immediately lowered his body, answering with utmost humility.

"It was I who spoke too much, I shouldn't have presumptuously discussed her ladyship's thoughts."

"This old slave will definitely take care of this Li Yan in every possible way, and will absolutely not allow any accidents to happen to him."

Seeing One-Eyed Immortal Elder bending his back almost like a roasted shrimp, the celestial women nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.

Watching these celestial women float away, One-Eyed Immortal Elder let out a long breath of stale air.

"This great one is so strange, she insists on paying so much attention to this Immortal Pill, Li Yan."

"It seems I have to speed things up and let her ladyship get her hands on this Immortal Pill, Li Yan, as soon as possible."

"Let's send Li Yan some more elixirs and miraculous medicines, and strive to have him ascend within half a year."

With that, One-Eyed Immortal Elder suddenly revealed a strange smile.

"Let that Yan Po Shan go over and deliver medicine to Li Yan, and let Yan Po Shan and his parents reunite."

"That dog, Yan Po Shan, needs to be tamed slowly. Let him see his daughter, and he will eventually have to work for me."

Seeing One-Eyed Immortal Elder laughing strangely there, the alchemy apprentice beside him curiously asked.

"Master, why do you keep staring at Yan Po Shan?"

"Aren't there people everywhere who will listen if they want to live?"

One-Eyed Immortal Elder's lips curled up, "You don't understand this. It's boring if they willingly work for me."

"It has to be a man of iron like Yan Po Shan. Grab his weakness, guide him step by step, and eventually cultivate him into the most loyal slave of White Jade Capital."

"Tell me, isn't that fun to play with?"

"Hahaha, very fun!"

Listening to One-Eyed Immortal Elder's strange laughter as he asked and answered himself, the other alchemy apprentices all shuddered.

They knew that Master was a psychopath, but they didn't expect him to be this perverted.

Abyss of the Netherworld.

Li Yan returned to this place, carrying Yuan Xu's massive turtle shell.

The Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Old Heavenly Court all gasped.

"It's one of the Four Evils..."

"Yuan Xu, one of the Four Evils?"

"Why do I also sense Xing Mu's aura?"

As everyone discussed, Li Yan stood on the turtle's back, looking at Ao Jiao.

Ao Jiao had thought a lot along the way, and her attitude was slightly better.

"Little Bean Sprout, I know you may have grown up among the humans."

"But don't forget, your soul exudes the aura of the Yan Huang Dragon Clan."

"I think you may have been protected by a senior of the Dragon Clan, hidden in a human, but in reality, you are a member of the Dragon Clan."

Ao Jiao still wanted to brainwash Li Yan at this moment, to make him admit his identity as a member of the Dragon Clan.

Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The Yanhuang Dragon Clan...

It seemed a bit difficult to explain.

Just then, a line of text appeared before Li Yan's eyes.

[Detected cultivators above the Spirit Transformation Stage around your physical body. Please return your soul to your body as soon as possible.]

Li Yan had no choice but to say, "Ao Jiao, I have to go take care of something."

"Wait, um, wait a moment!"

Ao Jiao still wanted to say something, but Li Yan's soul had already disappeared into thin air, leaving her in a daze at the entrance of the Abyss of the Netherworld.

On the other side, Li Yan, who had returned to his body, woke up on the Golden Patterned Lotus Platform.

Having been transformed into a golden dragon soul, he was a bit unaccustomed to being back in his own body.

Looking at his physical body, Li Yan murmured to himself, "Unknowingly, more than ten days have passed. Cultivating cross-legged has already broken through to the second level of the Spirit Transformation Stage."

"Cultivation is a bit too fast. I need to slow down my cultivation speed again..."

"Now I've learned the Void Breaking Claw. As long as I comprehend it well, I'll be able to escape this prison soon!"

Just as Li Yan was planning to learn the long-distance teleportation of the Void Breaking Claw within a few months, Someone suddenly pushed open the door. The person who barged into the room was a woman, Yan Po Tian's daughter, Yan Qing Qing.

And this Yan Qing Qing, also had the Misty Moon Immortal's soul residing within her.

Yan Qing Qing excitedly trotted over, "Brother Li! My father is back from White Jade Capital!"

"He even brought us gifts. Brother Li, let's go take a look!"

Yan Qing Qing grabbed Li Yan's hand and excitedly led him out.

Li Yan already knew about Yan Po Shan's situation. He frowned slightly and followed Yan Qing Qing to the plaza of the Forget Dust Hall.

At this time, a large group of cultivators were gathered outside the Forget Dust Hall.

They had all heard that Yan Po Shan had ascended to White Jade Capital half a month ago, but they didn't expect him to return so soon!

Many respected elders came to congratulate him.

"Immortal Elder Yan!"

"I didn't expect Immortal Elder Yan to descend to the mortal realm again."

"Immortal Elder, what is White Jade Capital like? Is it really as the legends say, with Spirit Liquid flowing in the rivers? And floating milk and honey?"

Faced with the inquiries from a group of old acquaintances, Yan Po Shan was in a complicated mood.

He knew the truth—ascension was a scam.

He had seen the list on the White Jade Bamboo Slip. Most of the people present were on the alchemy list.

They were all human-shaped Immortal herbs raised by White Jade Capital in the mortal realm, waiting to be sent into the Alchemy Furnace after ascending to immortality.

The immortals of White Jade Capital feed on the flesh and blood of us human cultivators, Yan Po Shan wanted to shout this out.

But after witnessing the methods of the One-Eyed Immortal Elder, Yan Po Shan knew...

Thinking about how these old friends desperately cultivated in order to ascend to immortality, some even abandoning their wives and children, completely neglecting their families.

They cultivated desperately, endured countless hardships, and encountered all kinds of tribulations. In the end, they became Immortal Pills in other people's mouths. Was it worth it?

But if he revealed even half a word today, no one here would be able to leave alive.

Rather than telling them the truth, it was better... better to let them live a few more days.

The words he wanted to say were swallowed back into Yan Po Shan's stomach.
