268: Chapter 267 dicine Slave 268: Chapter 267 dicine Slave Jiuhua Peak.
The peak was bustling with jubilation, with thousands of cultivators coming and going.
In the central Jiuhua Hall, the crowd surged, with frequent sounds of congratulations.
Today was the day the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua was giving away his daughter in marriage, marking a grand occasion for the Jiuhua Immortal Sect.
Naturally, many cultivation sects from millions of miles around had co to offer their felicitations.
There, the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua laughed heartily, busily welcoming and seeing off many fellow Daoists.
Speaking of this Profound Immortal of Jiuhua, his original form was that of a goshawk.
Through a thousand years he transford, and after ten thousand years he attained Dao, following the lineage of the Jie Sect.
Although the Jie Sect lineage had now declined into obscurity, a lean cal is still bigger than a horse, and the Jie Sect lineage was not sothing anyone could easily provoke.
This allowed the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua to establish his own Daoist lineage, founding a sect in the vast Haoxuan Mountain, and even marrying and having children, which he could genuinely say allowed him a carefree life.
With the sky clear and untainted by earthly smoke, Ye Xuan passed through the void, taking in the scene atop Jiuhua Peak.
For these lower-level cultivators, he could say he had not the slightest interest.
If he did have any interest, it was only because the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua could still catch his Dharma Eye.
It wasn’t that the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua was very powerful, but among these cultivators, only he had reached the Immortal Realm.
Should he swallow the Dao Fruit of the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua, it could boost his cultivation.
After his battle with Yang Jian, Ye Xuan had fully realized the inadequacy of his cultivation.
The thought of Immortal Elixirs was out of reach; he wasn’t lucky enough to enjoy such luxuries.
The only thing that could quickly enhance his cultivation was deploying the Tribulation Immortal Skill to devour soone else’s Dao Fruit.
Ye Xuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, a flicker of blood occasionally passing through his gaze as he looked at the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua with a trace of murderous intent.
Still, Ye Xuan hesitated for a while and eventually did not make a move.
After all, he was here to find Li Jiangliu, to repay this youth’s kindness.
There would be ti to destroy the Profound Immortal of Jiuhua later.
Ye Xuan made a decision.
His hands ford an Immortal Technique as his body suddenly beca illusory, and he vanished into the void.
…
Jiuhua Hall, Elixir dicine Pavilion!
The earth’s fire blazed fiercely as the Pill Furnace hissed.
Below the furnace, a red-robed Daoist was forming spells, continually tossing spiritual dicine into the furnace, with two dicine Slaves waving the Wind and Fire Fan, clearly in the process of concocting a batch of elixirs.
“Open the furnace.”
Following the red-robed Daoist’s command, the two dicine Slaves did not dare delay, working together to lift the lid of the furnace.
A fragrant aroma wafted out from within the furnace.
The red-robed Daoist’s face brightened, and with a motion through the air, he drew several elixirs towards him.
“Excellent, these Solid Fragrance Pills are round and full with an inviting aroma; it seems this batch was very successfully concocted,” the red-robed Daoist admired the pills in his hands, his joy clearly evident.
“Test the dicine!”
The red-robed Daoist’s smiling face turned serious, his voice slightly sinister as he turned to a dicine Slave and sent a pill flying towards him, which the slave shakily caught in his hands.
Bang!
The dicine Slave’s body shook violently as he suddenly knelt in front of the red-robed Daoist, his voice trembling as he pleaded, “Master… ancestor…
spare my life… this Solid Fragrance Pill is a deadly poison that could ruin one’s foundation…”
“Hmm?”
Before the dicine Slave could finish his plea, the red-robed Daoist’s face turned cold as he said, “Do you want to feed it to you?
Or would you prefer your soul to scatter right here?”
“Alright, I’ll take this Elixir for him!”
Suddenly, another dicine Slave spoke indifferently and seized the Solid Fragrance Pill from the man’s hand before consuming it, executing the act with utmost calm.
“Very well, very well.”
Watching this scene unfold, the red-robed Daoist laughed heartily while stroking his beard, “Li Jiangliu, I don’t know what fortune you’ve encountered to consu all sorts of poisons and remain unhard.
You truly are a treasure of our Jiuhua Immortal Sect.”
“Brother Li Jiangliu, thank you, thank you.”
The dicine Slave continuously kowtowed toward Li Jiangliu, his face filled with imnse gratitude.
If not for Li taking the Elixir for him, his fate would have been extrely miserable.
“Grandmaster, I have a request.”
Ten years had passed, and the once tender youth had disappeared.
Li Jiangliu had turned into a young man, his eyes lifeless and his body emitting an air of feebleness, as if nothing in the world mattered to him any longer.
But now, Li Jiangliu’s eyes glead with a glint of hope, pleadingly looking at the red-robed Daoist, which caused the Daoist’s brow to furrow slightly, evidently knowing what Li was about to ask.
“Jiangliu, you have followed for five years now and have tested Elixirs for for all those years.
Your contributions are indeed significant, but you must rember, you bear a criminal mark and have been ordered by the Sect Master not to leave the Elixir dicine Pavilion.
I cannot grant your request.”
Seeing the lifeless look in Li Jiangliu’s eyes, the red-robed Daoist feared that he might be considering suicide and then patted his shoulder comfortingly, “Jiangliu, although you made a big mistake in the past, as long as you diligently test Elixirs for , I will definitely help you regain your Cultivation in a hundred years and will plead with the Sect Master to take you back into the Sect.
There’s no need to remain a lowly dicine Slave in this Pavilion.”
“Grandmaster, today is Sister Cai’er’s wedding day.
I only wish to see her one last ti.
Please grant this request,” Li Jiangliu knelt and begged, his voice filled with sorrow.
“Hmph!”
Seeing Li Jiangliu’s insensitivity, the red-robed Daoist’s expression changed, and he said coldly, “Li Jiangliu, don’t push your luck.
Cai’er’s wedding today is a significant event for our Jiuhua Immortal Sect.
If I let you leave the Elixir dicine Pavilion, wouldn’t I be punished by the Sect Master?”
“There’s no more need to speak; I will not agree to this.”
The red-robed Daoist walked away briskly, his deanor extrely stern.
If not for the usefulness Li Jiangliu still had, he would not bother dealing with such an abject dicine Slave.
Inside the Elixir dicine Pavilion!
Tears stread down Li Jiangliu’s eyes as he slumped to the ground lifelessly, while a nearby dicine Slave softly consoled him, “Brother Jiangliu, this is our fate.
Just accept it.”
“Ha ha…
ha ha!”
Suddenly, Li Jiangliu burst into laughter, but as he laughed, tears spilled from his eyes.
He murmured, “Fate?
If that Great Immortal had taken as a disciple back then, would this little Jiuhua Immortal Sect even matter in my eyes?”
Seeing Li Jiangliu’s delirious state, the dicine Slave sighed and said, “Brother Jiangliu, please wake up.
You’ve ntioned this countless tis over the years.
If you really had saved the life of an Immortal, how could you have ended up in this plight today?”
“You don’t believe ?”
Li Jiangliu continued his mournful, mad laughter, “Do you know why I still strive to live?
Because I believe he will co back for .
I believe he will co back for .”
Li Jiangliu seed crazed, trapped in so sort of obsession, which led the nearby dicine Slave to sigh helplessly, believing that years of testing Elixirs had taken a toll on Li Jiangliu’s ntal state.
Hum!
Space vibrated, ripples spread, and Ye Xuan stepped forward, silently watching Li Jiangliu.
He had seen everything that Li Jiangliu had endured, but his heart remained mostly undisturbed.
