Attaining Immortality, Starting From Slaying Demons

Chapter 1048: Chapter 667: I Take You Home_2

The flames in the furnace, spurred by Spiritual Energy, suddenly surged, adding a touch of warmth to the entire courtyard.

As the Peak Master of Dan Peak, when he left, he indeed took away quite a few "private" Heaven and Earth Treasures, and such healing elixir pills did not involve Tribulation Power, thus they were not even considered top-notch items in the Law Storage Pavilion.

For Shen Yi, who had read thoroughly the Elixir Book, it was completely a matter of effortless ease.

"Ah?"

Meng Xiuwen was not surprised that Shen Yi could produce a Pill Furnace.

Compared to those Immortal Sect Disciples, a Loose Cultivator traveling abroad, cultivating the Hundred Arts, would almost always selectively dabble in several arts, especially Alchemy and artifact crafting.

But dabbling is just dabbling; the methods were mostly crude, barely enough to handle emergencies.

However, a master’s actions stand out, immediately distinguishable from ordinary people.

Watching the numerous herbs swiftly refined into pure medicinal liquid inside the Pill Furnace, the entire process flowing smoothly without a hint of awkwardness, the medicinal power was completely contained within the furnace, without any leakage.

Meng Xiuwen gradually widened his eyes.

This was not the typical manner of a common Cultivator’s alchemy; even compared to those specialized alchemy masters within the Immortal Sects, it was no less impressive!

Most importantly, while Shen Yi was refining elixirs, he was also listening to his own story, indicating that he was not even using his full effort.

"I now feel you’re even more terrifying than Ye Lan."

Meng Xiuwen complained lightly, even though he didn’t even know what elixir was being refined, but just from this demeanor alone, a stone in his heart seemed inexplicably to have fallen.

Feeling much more relaxed, he just stood behind the young man, narrating the events that had previously occurred.

Shen Yi listened quietly, his gaze never leaving the Pill Furnace, only slightly raising his eyebrows when he heard that the monster nearly flattened the inn with one foot.

In that inn, there were not only the South Dragon King and Zi Xian, but also a few Sect Masters from Southern Hong, as well as Senior Xuanqing and others.

"Damn it, Immortals think they are so great; a mere mount, all the unjustly dead commoners in my Three Prefectures, can they be bought back with just that bit of compensation?"

"Those two old fools are utterly foolish. Our Divine Dynasty’s foundation is this widespread Emperor’s Aura. With Demons causing harm to the Human World, frightening the common people, their sentiments become unsettled, directly impacting the Emperor’s Aura. If the Demon isn’t executed but instead is safely sent back..."

"A long dike will collapse because of an ant hole; the recent movements of the Bodhi Sect and the Three Immortals Sect are obviously abnormal!"

Meng Xiuwen talked until his mouth was dry, but saw that Shen Yi still maintained a calm demeanor, which made him somewhat puzzled.

From the few times they had acted together before, the latter was not one to be indifferent to the mundane world.

"Forget it, forget it, we indeed have low status and strength, and can only spew a few curses."

He waved his hand disinterestedly.

Throughout the process, the two siblings did not say a single word.

Shenzhou is not like Hongze, it’s not a place where one can act recklessly just by one’s own power; Brother Shen has already helped Hongze too much, absolutely should not bring any trouble to him because of ourselves.

Compared to Meng Xiuwen, the two knew Shen Yi’s temperament better.

Alchemy requires meticulous effort.

During the time Shen Yi was refining the medicinal power, two figures entered the mansion.

Ye Lan walked expressionlessly in front, while behind her was a man entirely enveloped in a dark green robe.

His facial skin was dry and dark, resembling a monkey, with three eyes opened on his forehead.

A mischievous smile on his face, he looked askance at everyone disdainfully, his entire body free from any chains, only a golden circle around his neck.

"Hey, I’m saying... when can you help me take this thing off?"

He stretched out his index finger, lightly hooking the golden circle.

Shen Yi quietly continued refining the elixir, not turning back, while Meng Xiuwen looked towards the black-skinned Ape Demon with evident apprehension, his expression dark and uncertain, gripping his fingers tightly.

Zi Xian lowered her head in fear, quietly moving away from the demon with her brother.

Seeing no one responded to him, the green-robed Ape Demon yawned lazily, looking ahead with some interest: "Yo, not bad skills, but feeding such precious medicines to that Wild Dragon, seems a bit wasteful."

"Had I known, I would have struck even harder back then, to save you some trouble, haha."

"Shut up." Ye Lan glanced over.

In a place like Jianyang Prefecture, except for Cultivators from the Demon Slayer Bureau, the rest of the creatures would be suppressed by the Emperor’s Aura, retaining only a tenth of their strength.

Moreover, as Ye Lan was cultivating the Taixu Dao Fruit and had already endured over six hundred Tribulations, reaching the threshold of Fourth Grade.

Even if this demon is a Fifth Grade Taiyi Immortal, being in Jianyang, facing her, it probably couldn’t withstand three moves.

But the Ape Demon showed no fear at all, its arrogance increasing instead: "What if I don’t? What will you do? Kill me? Try moving a muscle?"

It sneered with laughter.

These cultivators had no idea that their mission was decreed by destiny itself; who would dare to make a move, who would dare to disobey?

"..."

Ye Lan had never suffered such indignity, but the face of Yang Mingli flashed through her mind.

She shifted her gaze toward Shen Yi’s silhouette.

And felt even more apologetic in her heart.

Meng Xiuwen was so angry that his gums itched. He worked for the Imperial Court, was severely injured by a demon, and his wound hadn’t yet healed, yet the demon was already blatantly stepping over him.

Damn it, whoever loves this thankless job can have it, I’ll serve no more!

Zi Xian carefully stood in one corner, sweeping her gaze over everyone, obviously seeing the frustration in Officer Meng’s heart.

Even such a powerful cultivator was harboring grievances, let alone the lower-standing common folk.

They couldn’t see the bigger picture, only knew that their loved ones were being senselessly slaughtered, while the Imperial Court couldn’t even produce an answer to vent their grief.

Just then, the furnace fire finally extinguished.

Shen Yi reached out and caught the elixir pills that flew out, turning around to Zi Xian, he extended his hand and fed the pill into Zi Yang’s mouth.

Then he activated his spiritual energy to help metabolize the elixir.

"Take good care after yourself, you should recover in seven days."

Shen Yi softly instructed, although there really was no need for him to say it, as the moment the elixir pill entered the stomach, the vitality of Zi Yang visibly enriched, and the white scales slowly merged into the skin.

This mysterious efficacy temporarily made even Meng Xiuwen forget his resentment, becoming somewhat greedy: "Officer Shen, could you give me one too?"

Although he didn’t deliberately mention it, Shen Yi was no fool and naturally knew that with Zi Yang’s strength, he couldn’t possibly stop the demon for a moment, Meng Xiuwen must have fought desperately.

He opened his palm and passed another elixir over: "Thank you."

"Tsk, still being polite with me." Meng Xiuwen laughed freely: "I’ve never had such a fine thing in my life."

"Immaculate Treasure Pill, little guy, are you interested in coming back to Jade Pond Immortal Sect with me? I guarantee you a limitless future." The Green Robe Ape Demon licked its lips, just having witnessed the cultivation displayed by the young man was not high, still within the Heavenly Immortal range, but his alchemy skill was quite captivating.

"A limitless future? Like being a mount like you?"

Meng Xiuwen finally couldn’t hold back and retorted sarcastically: "Qing Mei also has quite a special taste, insisting on riding a monkey, it’s just unclear where she’s heading to."

"..." The smile gradually faded from the face of the Green Robe Ape Demon, who twisted his head to look at Meng Xiuwen, his eyes growing more fierce, the golden circle around his neck trembled suddenly.

It slowly turned around, eyes met, and after a long while, it sneered: "Sharp-tongued, I’ll remember you."

Ye Lan interrupted the two’s quarrel, stepping up to Shen Yi, her lips pursed, her gaze somewhat evasive.

"You may speak freely." Shen Yi lightly nodded.

"Sigh, they want you, the Peak Master of Shenxu Mountain, to go to Jade Pond Immortal Sect and bring this beast back..."

Ye Lan had barely organized her words when the Ape Demon interrupted, "It should be ’send back.’"

Unable to suppress the killing intent in her heart, her fair right hand suddenly reached out, seizing the Ape Demon’s neck, her fingers like swords, sharply stabbing into its throat, thick blood plasma staining her forearm red.

The Ape Demon, in pain, didn’t panic, instead, its laughter grew even more piercing: "Come on, come on! Don’t be shy!"

Ye Lan, already frustrated and unsure how to begin, now stimulated, her eyes gradually fell into an emotionless void, a sign of invoking the Taixu Dao Fruit.

At that moment, that familiar hand pressed on her wrist.

"Alright."

Shen Yi’s straightforward response caught Ye Lan off guard, she blinked in surprise back at him.

"Look at this one, you all should learn a bit from him." The Ape Demon mockingly sneered, shaking the blood off its neck.

"I’ll accompany you." Ye Lan’s voice was a bit weak, her guilt deepening.

Shen Yi finally looked directly at the Ape Demon, his expression still calm, lightly said: "No need."

For some reason, in the moment he looked, the Ape Demon inexplicably felt a chill down its spine, and its laughter gradually ceased.
