King of Creation

In the blink of an eye, seven days passed.

During these seven days, Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai were as close as glue, lingering together all day.

However, when the eighth day arrived, both Ye Zhen and Liao Feibai inadvertently forgot about the seven-day limit, forgot that the poison in Liao Feibai's body had completely been resolved, and continued living a life of sweet intimacy without speaking of it.

Nevertheless, after seven days, they both consciously restrained themselves a little, practiced cultivation at fixed times every day, sparred in martial skills, and occasionally ignited sparks of love!

Before they knew it, they had been back on Heavenly Wing Island for almost a month. On this day, the leisurely voice of the Sea-Breaking Great Saint echoed in the Sea Suppression Hall.

"Fourth brother, if you continue being so affectionate, you'll miss the Shuili Island Pill Appreciation Conference!"

Liao Feibai, who had just peeled a crystal-clear grape and was about to feed it to Ye Zhen, instantly raised her sword-like eyebrows upon hearing this voice.

"Sea-Breaking, do you dare to peep?"

Before the reprimanding voice fell, Liao Feibai's figure had already flashed out of the window, and the Profound Ice Immortal Sword, exuding boundless ice fiend qi, struck towards the Sea-Breaking Great Saint in the sky!

"She's going to kill me, Old Fourth, save me!" exclaimed the Sea-Breaking Great Saint as he fled in panic.

And Ye Zhen, seeing the Sea Suppression Hall suddenly covered in thick frost, smiled wryly, "When senior sister gets angry, she really goes all out!"

A few moments later, Liao Feibai returned to the Sea Suppression Hall, her cheeks puffed angrily, "That Sea-Breaking guy, he's so shameless. How many times has he disturbed us in these past days?"

"Uh... he probably just stumbled upon us accidentally..." Ye Zhen felt a bit unjust for the Sea-Breaking Great Saint.

"Accidentally my foot!"

With a dissatisfied snort, withdrawing her surrounding coldness, Liao Feibai pouted towards the window, "They're waiting for you in the Heavenly Wing Hall. Go on!"

Ye Zhen didn't leave immediately but looked at Liao Feibai with passionate eyes, "Senior sister, if eldest brother and the others are looking for me, it should be because we're setting off to Shuili Island in the next few days.

Get ready too, and when the time comes, we can go together!"

"Me?"

Liao Feibai hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Your trip to Shuili Island is mainly about bidding for pills, and with those people accompanying you, there shouldn't be any danger. I won't go!"

"Senior sister, you know what I mean, I want to be with you..."

"Together with me?"

Liao Feibai's expression suddenly became complex. After contemplating for a while, her expression suddenly turned cold as she shook her head firmly, "Junior brother, we need to wake up!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen's expression drastically changed.

"Junior brother, this affair was hopelessly wrong from the start, and we had the greed to let this wrongfulness continue for almost a month. Now, the poison in my body has completely resolved, so we should..."

"No!"

"Senior sister, your poison may be resolved, but the feelings between us cannot be dissolved. This is not a dream; we don't need to wake up!" Ye Zhen surged forward, held Liao Feibai's fragrant shoulder, and shouted urgently.

"Indeed, this isn't a dream, but if you want to be with me, what about Caiyi? What about Luluo? And what about that Feng Qingyue you mentioned?" Liao Feibai posed a series of questions.

Ye Zhen was only stunned for a brief moment before his expression became unusually resolute!

"Senior sister, I've thought about this issue long ago, and there's nothing about 'what about'! I won't give up any of you! Absolutely not!"

With the precedent of the Heart Fire Commander, Ye Zhen's choice in matters of emotion had become quite clear, unless Ye Zhen wanted to follow in the Heart Fire Commander's footsteps.

"You won't give up any of them, you intend to have them all, but I mind! I mind sharing, so instead of minding later, it's better to..." At this point, the expression of Liao Feibai suddenly became a bit pained.

"Senior sister, please don't leave me, okay? Caiyi is gone, and I am still looking for her; I don't want you to leave me too!" Ye Zhen's expression suddenly became extremely pained.

After looking at Ye Zhen's painful expression for a while, Liao Feibai suddenly chuckled, "Fool, when did I ever say I was going to leave you?"

"Really?"

Ye Zhen was overjoyed instantly and forcefully pulled Liao Feibai into his arms, but before he could tighten his embrace, Liao Feibai broke free forcefully!

"But, junior brother, you know my temperament well! I absolutely refuse to share you with anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhen's face changed once more.

"However, letting others come to share you is no big deal!" Liao Feibai said with a smile.

Ye Zhen was completely confused, "Senior sister, what do you mean by that? I feel somewhat bewildered, is it that I can, or that I can't?"

"Don't you understand? Think about my usual conduct?" Liao Feibai said with a laugh.

"Usual conduct?"

"Yes, between you and me, and between you and others, it's different! Among Luluo, Caiyi, and others, you are their possessor!

But between you and me, I am your possessor, understand?"

Hearing Liao Feibai say this, Ye Zhen suddenly realized and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Senior Sister Liao Feibai's fierceness hasn't reduced in the slightest over the years.

This explanation, Ye Zhen could accept. It was just Liao Feibai's way of comforting herself mentally.

"When I want to see you, I will naturally send you a Talisman Communication, or come find you. If you dare not come, be prepared for punishment!" Liao Xibai said.

"Is that how it is? And what if I want to see you?" Ye Zhen asked.

"Of course, you can send me a Talisman Communication or come find me. As for whether I want to see you or not, that will depend on my mood! Because, in this relationship, I'm the one in charge!" Liao Feibai said with a face full of willfulness.

Ye Zhen mischievously smiled and leaned in, "I think Senior Sister definitely won't refuse tonight, right?"

"You're asking for a beating!"

Liao Feibai gave a tender scold and made a move as if to hit, but Ye Zhen's figure flickered and he just flashed out of the Sea Suppression Hall.

"Hmph, tonight, you can meditate by yourself!" Although Liao Feibai's mouth was scolding, her pretty face was full of smiles.

....

"Big brother, sorry to keep you waiting. Are we setting off for Shuili Island now?" Inside the Heavenly Wing Hall, the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of Fug Hai, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint had been waiting there.

"Yes, fourth brother, the Dan Conference on Shuili Island will officially start in a month and a half. However, according to our information, since yesterday, forces from all sides have started arriving on Shuili Island.

It takes four or five days to get to Shuili Island, so we must set off tomorrow!" said the Great Saint of Jinghai.

"The Dan Conference is only a month and a half away, why are people arriving so early?" Ye Zhen frowned and asked.

"Fourth brother, the reason so many martial artists arrive early is not just because of the long journey, the main reason is that this Dan Conference is not entirely a Dan Conference!" the Great Saint of Jinghai said.

"Not entirely a Dan Conference, what do you mean? Please explain, big brother," Ye Zhen asked, puzzled.

"To explain this clearly to you, we must first talk about the origin of the Shuili Hermit!" the Great Saint of Jinghai said.

"Origin? Is it something unusual?"

"Yes, to start with, let's talk about the nickname of the Shuili Hermit."

.....

The Great Saint of Jinghai went on and on for nearly an hour before Ye Zhen finally understood the matter.

In the words of the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Shuili Hermit may not be the most powerful existence in the Outer Domain Dead Sea, but he is definitely the most prestigious, without a doubt!

The prestige of the Shuili Hermit stems from his signature skill.

The signature skill of the Shuili Hermit is naturally alchemy, but four hundred years ago, when the Shuili Hermit had only been in the trade for forty years, he was already known as the Potion Fanatic.

Not only was his success rate in refining pills extremely high, but he was also most avid in collecting various rare medicinal ingredients and strange pill formulas.

He often bought these items at a high price. To acquire them, the Shuili Hermit specifically refined large numbers of ordinary pills to earn Spirit Crystals, which he then used to purchase rare medicinal ingredients to try out those peculiar pill formulas.

Gradually, the fame of the Shuili Hermit spread far and wide. More and more people came to him, asking him to open the furnace and refine pills. In just a century, the Shuili Hermit became the undisputed Pill King of the Mystic Light Realm, with cultivation reaching the Fifth Stage Establishment.

Like many Establishment Kings, when their cultivation advancement slowed, they would come to develop in the Outer Domain Dead Sea.

The Great Saint of Jinghai still remembered the situation when the Shuili Hermit established an island in the Outer Domain Dead Sea three hundred years ago.

Over a hundred Establishment Kings escorted him, and not a single one had cultivation below the Fifth Stage Establishment.

At that time, Heavenly Wing Island had been established for less than fifty years, with weak strength, and thought it was some faction coming to wipe them out.

They were frightened and worried for years.

Later, they realized that those martial artists were all seeking to have the Shuili Hermit refine pills, or martial artists to whom the Shuili Hermit owed a favor.

Since the Shuili Hermit established his island on the Outer Domain Dead Sea, due to limited strength, there were significantly fewer martial artists coming to request pills, but still quite a few, and every person seeking pills was at least an Establishment King.

The Shuili Hermit, who liked to delve into the Alchemy Dao, found it very troublesome, so he set a rule to hold a Dan Conference every ten years. During the Dan Conference, in addition to selling the pills he had already refined, he would also accept three additional pill refinement requests.

To only accept three pill requests every ten years was too few for those who needed top-tier pills to save their lives.

Especially since the medicinal ingredients needed for those top-tier pill refinements were very hard to find, who would dare let an ordinary alchemist waste them?

If they were truly wasted, it wouldn't just be the medicinal ingredients that were wasted, but the lives and cultivation of those mighty figures as well.

So, those mighty figures who wanted the Shuili Hermit to refine pills got anxious!

Thirty years after Shuili Island's establishment, that is, two hundred seventy years ago, the Sect Master of the Golden Light Sect, the number one power in the Mystic Light Realm, had a hidden problem during cultivation and needed the Shuili Hermit's help to refine an ancient formula pill to resolve it and save his life.

But unfortunately, the Dan Conference had just ended a year earlier, and the next one was still nine years away, and the Sect Master of the Golden Light Sect could not wait nine years!

Thus, the Sect Master of the Golden Light Sect led a large number of sect members to surround Shuili Island, trying to force the Shuili Hermit to refine pills.

"Fourth brother, can you guess what happened in the end?" At this point, the Great Saint of Jinghai suddenly teased with a mystery! (To be continued.
