Yellow Court Daoist

Five Directions Realm.

The North Continent had long been devastated, transformed into a vast Blood Sea, and even the North Sea was gradually being eroded.

Located at the border of the Blood Sea in the North Continent's North Sea, there was a peculiar place.

This place was not in the sky, nor on the earth, nor under the ground, but seemingly wedged between heaven and earth, within and without the Void, teeming with swarms of locusts.

Buzz~

Buzz~

Buzz~

Billions of locusts flapped their wings, emitting a buzzing sound, agitating and restless, drawing out the deepest and most scattered thoughts from the heart of anyone who heard it. They flew erratically, tracing trajectories in the air, leaving no trace, like waves of sound.

Yet from all directions, they all converged towards one spot—

Boom!

Billions of locusts swarmed a figure.

"Pfft!"

Fairy Yan Lan appeared out of the Void, revealing her figure, spitting out a mouthful of reverse blood.

Her complexion grew even paler.

But in her hand, she grasped a stalk of Immortal Herb glowing with yellow light, and an exquisite smile unconsciously spread across her bloodless face.

"Got the Flying Locust Immortal Grass."

"Go!"

It was a dangerous place, not suitable for a prolonged stay.

Fairy Yan Lan did not look back at the 'Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea', she plunged into the earth, merging with the grass and trees, vanishing without a trace.

A moment later.

The Void fluctuated, and a bewitchingly beautiful woman landed in the 'Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea'.

Buzz buzz buzz!

Countless flying locusts surged towards her, showing a sense of closeness. As they flapped their wings, they emitted joyful sounds, no longer causing annoyance but rather like a symphony of immortal music.

"Fairy Yan Lan."

"The Flying Locust Immortal Grass is full of vitality, containing overwhelming life force. She braved the dangers to enter the Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea; was she seeking Ding Yu?"

The bewitching woman's willow brows furrowed slightly, surprise and suspicion appearing on her pretty face.

If Fairy Yan Lan were here, she would certainly recognize that this person was one of the Seven Immortal Venerables of the Longevity Sect—'Heavenly Sound Immortal Venerable'. She inherited the legacy of one of the Five Directions Realm's 108 major sects—the 'Red Dust Sound Demon Sect', cultivated the 'Heavenly Sound Skill', and was adept at sound-based attacks, controlling the 'Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea' with many incomprehensible and tricky methods.

Fortunately.

Despite being attacked by endless flying locusts and suffering severe injuries.

Fairy Yan Lan had managed to enter the Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea and steal the 'Flying Locust Immortal Grass' without encountering Heavenly Sound Immortal Venerable.

Without any complications.

Another Immortal Elixir in hand.

…

In the ensuing years.

Fairy Yan Lan continuously ventured into many desperate places.

Like the 'Invisible Demon Wind Tide', where three thousand spirits resided, each mastering the Gale Technique, capable of stirring up demon winds, eroding people's will and Divine Souls, and putrefying their flesh and bones.

Even a Mahayana True Immortal entering would suffer the assault of the demon wind spirits and be seriously injured.

Fairy Yan Lan bore the relentless demon winds, delving deep into the tide, and picked three 'Ten Thousand Ranks Immortal Fruit' from the 'Ten Thousand Ranks Immortal Tree', eventually escaping in disarray with her body covered in bloodstains.

And places like the 'Holy Fire Purgatory', where countless fire spirits and the Flame Monarch inhabited, with endless Fire Sea capable of Refining all things.

Yet there, a 'Golden Whisker Ten-leaf Flower' grew, containing strands of golden threads, emitting a warm radiance as gentle as the morning sun, which was an excellent material for refining Immortal Pills, fusing Immortal Elixirs, and Spiritual Medicine.

When refining Immortal Pills, having this Immortal Elixir could double the success rate.

Fairy Yan Lan ventured alone.

Returning with a charred body, she eventually harvested the 'Golden Whisker Ten-leaf Flower'.

There were also 'Ten Thousand Thunder Sky', 'Spirit Light Mountain and Sea Realm', 'Jiguang Everynight City'...

Whether natural dangers or realms occupied by Demons.

All were desperate places.

Fairy Yan Lan repeatedly ventured into them.

Some ventures were successful, returning with Immortal Herbs, but at a cost to herself, suffering serious injuries. Others were near successes, not only failing to obtain the Immortal Herbs but even sustaining graver injuries.

Thus.

Time passed continuously, and the three-thousand-year deadline drew ever closer.

Fairy Yan Lan became increasingly frantic.

Risking her life in dangerous places, desperately searching for Immortal Herbs across the world. Ignoring her body's new and old injuries, the old wounds had not yet healed when new ones were added.

It was a heartbreaking sight.

…

In the blink of an eye, over twenty-five hundred years had passed.

On this day.

Fairy Yan Lan, dragging her weary body, arrived at the Bamboo Mountain Sea Domain. A void opened up, revealing a path leading directly to the Bamboo Mountain Blessed Land.

"Elder."

"Is this 'Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma' grown in 'Jiguang Everynight City' suitable as the final main ingredient for the 'Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill'?"

Fairy Yan Lan was extremely tired, her eyes somewhat dim, but filled with hope. She held a glowing Immortal Ganoderma in her hands, looking expectantly at the Red-footed Child in front of her, asking.

"Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma."

"It can greatly nourish the Yuan Qi, replenish the Qi and blood, and strengthen the Divine Soul."

Lu Qingfeng opened his eyes, saw the Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma in Fairy Yan Lan's hand, and nodded, "This Immortal Herb is indeed suitable for refining the 'Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill'."

"Excellent!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Yan Lan was overjoyed.

Thus, it was not in vain for her to enter and exit 'Jiguang Everynight City' three times, and battle to death with the City Lord of that city. Her beautiful eyes turned towards Ding Yu, who was in front of Lu Qingfeng, lighting up brightly.

Lu Qingfeng took the Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma, his gaze resting on Fairy Yan Lan.

Seeing her defeated demeanor.

"Foolish girl!"

Lu Qingfeng shook his head inwardly, and said aloud, "Since the Immortal Herbs have been gathered, I shall start refining the Immortal Pill now."

"I will protect you, elder!"

Fairy Yan Lan was over the moon, saying repeatedly.

Lu Qingfeng nodded slightly.

With a wave of his Quiet Bamboo Stick, a Three-legged Tripod appeared out of thin air, spinning, and landed on the earth.

"Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill."

This is an Immortal Pill for repairing life and bolstering vitality, capable of resurrecting the dead. Once refined, it is enough to maintain the vital energy depletion of Peak True Immortal Ding Yu for three months.

Ding Yu must reach the Earth Immortal Realm within these short three months.

Once missed, his body will perish and soul will vanish, with no chance of salvation, leaving him only to re-cultivate in the next life, subject to the enigma of reincarnation, beyond his control.

Furthermore.

Fearing insufficient vigor during his ascension due to his dying state, Fairy Yan Lan, at the behest of Lu Qingfeng, has also gathered the two main herbs needed for the refinement of the 'Qingming Immortal Pill'.

Entering and exiting Qingming.

Is to be an Immortal of Longevity!

This Qingming Immortal Pill is precisely a supreme treasure that aids True Immortals in ascending to the Earth Immortal Realm.

Fairy Yan Lan searched for Immortal Herbs for two thousand five hundred and thirty-seven years.

During this period.

While Lu Qingfeng cultivated, he also mastered the 'Enlightenment' Great Method, thoroughly grasped the refining methods of the 'Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill' and 'Qingming Immortal Pill', and tested them many times in dream realms, striving for success in one attempt.

Now was the time for the real test.

Boom!

Qingjing Heavenly Fire ignited, falling below the Pill Furnace, beginning to refine the 'Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill'.

Stoking the flames.

Cleansing the furnace.

Tempering the medicine.

...

Lu Qingfeng did not dawdle and began refining the Immortal Pill directly.

Fairy Yan Lan stood by, her heart lifted to her throat. It took her more than two thousand five hundred years to gather these Immortal Herbs. If the attempt failed, not to mention that the Immortal Herbs were one of a kind, even if there were more, she might not have the strength to gather them again.

"It must succeed!"

Fairy Yan Lan, watching the Red-footed Child refine the Immortal Pill, tossed one Spiritual Medicine after another into the furnace for tempering, casually, with an air of confident mastery, relaxed slightly in her heart, "With such proficiency, it must succeed!"

It was like a prayer.

As well as a way to steady herself.

Fairy Yan Lan masked the nervousness on her face, with only the sweat in her palms revealing her inner turmoil.

Time passed.

Lu Qingfeng, with his Six Roots Purification, untainted by Mortal dust, was undisturbed by any stray thoughts during alchemy, focused and devoted. His state of alchemy needed no adjustment, for he was already at the optimal state.

The Elixir Recipe was profoundly understood.

All intricacies were clear in his mind, naturally becoming effortless.

But Immortal Pills are difficult to refine.

With Lu Qingfeng's True Immortal cultivation, he could not rush the process of refinement. Fortunately, thanks to Fairy Yan Lan's diligent effort, there was a surplus of three thousand years; Lu Qingfeng thus refined methodically and slowly, seeking only stability.

One year.

Two years.

Ten years.

Twenty years.

In the blink of an eye, a cycle of sixty years had passed.

One by one, Sixth Rank, Seventh-Order, Eighth Rank Spiritual Medicines were thrown into the Alchemy Furnace, occasionally mixed with First to Fifth-Order Spiritual Medicines. Upon closer count, merely in terms of types of Spiritual Medicines, from First to Eighth Rank, there were a hundred and eight kinds. In addition, there were three hundred and sixty-five types of ordinary herbs not classified under Spiritual Rank.

This was only possible for Fairy Yan Lan, who ruled the vast Immortal Farming Sect, also establishing the sect through cultivating plants and Spiritual Herbs, to be able to gather all these. For an ordinary True Immortal, just gathering these Spiritual Medicines would be an arduous task, certainly not simpler than obtaining Immortal Elixirs.

One batch of Spiritual Medicines and ordinary herbs were tempered.

In the twenty-second year, Lu Qingfeng put the 'Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma' snatched by Fairy Yan Lan from the Jiguang Evernight City into the Alchemy Furnace.

This made Fairy Yan Lan nervous.

As the head of the Immortal Farming Sect, even if Eighth Rank Spiritual Medicines were used up, she could find alternatives. But if there was a mishap with this 'Everlasting Immortal Ganoderma,' finding a replacement would be difficult.

Fortunately.

The Red-footed Child's demeanor was calm, his hands extremely steady.

Year after year passed.

Without a single mistake.

By the thirty-first year, he threw the 'Glazed Glass Immortal Peach' grown in the Peach Blossom Miasma of the Immortal Farming Sect into the Alchemy Furnace.

The forty-ninth year.

'Flying Locust Immortal Grass' stolen from the Flying Locust Demon Sound Sea by Fairy Yan Lan was put into the Alchemy Furnace.

The fifty-fourth year.

'White Dragon Grass' obtained from the Netherworld was thrown in.

By the sixtieth year.

Exactly a cycle of sixty years into the alchemy, Lu Qingfeng peeled off five petals from the 'Golden Whisker Ten-leaf Flower' picked by Fairy Yan Lan from the Holy Fire Purgatory and threw them into the furnace.

Three hours later.

The Alchemy Furnace emitted a misty aura.

Pure Yang Immortal Qi emerged from nowhere, spreading throughout.

"Is it done?!"

Exhausted to the extreme, Fairy Yan Lan suddenly became spirited upon seeing this phenomenon. Looking closely, she saw the Pill Furnace trembling, bursts of Immortal Qi seeming to be released yet not escaping.

While the Red-footed Child's hands flew swiftly, making Seal Techniques appear like phantoms, a series of Seal Techniques fell into the Pill Furnace, causing a succession of explosive sounds, rousing Fairy Yan Lan's spirit.

This continued nineteen times with explosive sounds.

"Pfff!"

The lid of the Pill Furnace flew off, and a billion rays of Immortal Light burst forth, the next instant a streak of flowing light mixed in among them, attempting to escape to the heavens.

"Haha!"

"Where do you think you're going!"

The voice of the child echoed throughout the Bamboo Mountain Blessed Land.

He held the green bamboo staff in his hand and made a gentle loop in the air, and the flowing light came to a halt, drawn toward where the child stood. The child raised his hand and took out a Jade Purifying Bottle, enveloping the flowing light.

"Senior—"

Seeing this, Fairy Yan Lan's eyes widened as she looked towards the Red-footed Child and then at the Jade Purifying Bottle in his hand, her breathing becoming rapid without realizing.

"The Immortal Pill is complete!"

The child spoke clearly.

Causing Fairy Yan Lan to be overjoyed, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Heavenly Repairing Immortal Pill."

Lu Qingfeng glanced at the Jade Purifying Bottle in his hand, also feeling joy. Seeing an Immortal Pill emitting a misty aura lying within the Jade Purifying Bottle, his heart settled slightly.

Without stopping.

He began to refine the 'Qingming Immortal Pill'!

Fairy Yan Lan, seeing this, dared not disturb him, yet her heart was lifted once again.
