If you don't give up, I'd like to be your adoptive father.

Chapter 1191 Good Friends Share Hardships
Ye Jiutian is different from Lu Jin Gong.

Ye Jiutian not only had a higher level of cultivation, but he had also truly studied the "Hongjun Red Pill".

Grand Tutor Yu's explanation only gave Lu Jin Gong the result, but Ye Jiutian suddenly understood and truly grasped the principle.

"So your Poison Pill Qi Pill is still based on the Qi of the Ancestral Dragon, and is still considered a secret technique of the Ancestral Dragon."

No wonder he was able to create such a powerful poison pill after only a few days of research in the secret chamber.

No wonder that after you forcibly fed me the poison pill that day, I was able to sense a trace of dragon energy in the Pure Yang Origin, but I was unable to eliminate it and did not feel any threat.

At least at that time, it did not pose a threat to me, because my connection with the Qin Emperor was not as close as it is now.

Afterwards, in order to strengthen the karmic connection between me and the Ancestral Dragon's Qi, you deliberately went against my wishes and, taking advantage of my severe injuries and inability to move, forcibly petitioned the Heavenly Emperor to make me the Celestial Master of the Great Qin Dynasty.

I obtained the power of the Celestial Master and immediately became bound to the Qin Dynasty by cause and effect, sharing its destiny.

You also gifted me the Epang Palace and countless treasures.

They allowed me to study the Great Yu Divine Cauldron and even taught me the secret techniques of the Ancestral Dragon.

These all reinforce the causal relationship.

Then you deliberately left Xianyang and didn't return for several months, making us lower our guard and willingly betray Qin.

Cause and effect were distorted into karma, and dragon energy was transformed into deadly poison.

You deliberately plotted against us; we were all deceived. What a ruthless and vicious method! I hate you so much!

His tone became agitated, and his shouts were filled with resentment and indignation.

"Am I begging you to participate in the Huashan Dao Discussion, or am I forcing you to break your promise, violate your heavenly oath, and desert?" Xiao Yu sneered, secretly circulating his profound power again to communicate with the Qinling Ancestral Dragon.

The ancestral dragon in the mountains began to pulsate rhythmically.

"Ughhhhh~~" Ye Jiutian grabbed his messy long hair, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, his screams twisted and shrill.

The veins under his skin bulged again, thick and black, like the gnarled roots of an old tree, making him look even more terrifying and ugly.

Blood-red dragon patterns also appeared on his body, densely packed and shocking.

"Spare me, Grand Tutor Yu! Please, please spare me! It's so painful~~~~"

He was completely unable to resist and soon begged for mercy again.

Witnessing the activation of the Ancestral Dragon Qi Pill up close provides Lu Jin Gong with a more powerful and direct impact on his sight, hearing, and senses.

This was a powerful Golden Immortal! Such a proud and majestic immortal couldn't bear it any longer after the poison pill took effect and began to beg for mercy without any dignity or shame.

How painful, how torturous!
Xiao Yu ignored him, which took Ye Jiutian the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

When he was writhing in the mud like a maggot, exhausted from the pain, his mouth open and making a hissing sound, but only blood-stained saliva was flowing out, she withdrew her supernatural powers.

"Don't make me repeat myself. Go and bring Akiko here right now. I don't care what methods you use, and I don't care about the process. I only care about the result."

For this result, you can abandon all morality and rules, disregard cause and effect and karma, and kill gods and immortals alike.

Do you understand? You are now a beast.

From the moment you betrayed your oath to the Heavenly Way multiple times, you were no longer qualified to be an immortal; you are nothing but a beast.

Since you treat yourself like an animal, I'm even more willing to drive you around like one.

Now, you wicked creature, get out of here!

"Huff huff huff~~" Ye Jiutian lowered his head and took a few breaths to recover some strength. He remained silent, picked up the Golden Dragon Scissors and the Vajra Ring, and flew unsteadily towards the southeast.

After he left for a long time, Grand Tutor Yu did not speak, but stood on the mountaintop with his eyes closed to rest.

Lu Jin Gong felt a tightness in his chest. He opened his mouth, wanting to ask something or say something. But when he met Grand Tutor Yu's calm face, he suddenly felt that saying anything would be meaningless.

After waiting for about three hours, a beam of celestial light rushed in from the southeast.

It was Ye Jiutian.

He was no longer the disheveled man he had been before; his dirty, disheveled hair was now tied up, and his tattered fairy robes were clean and new. Apart from his dim eyes and gloomy expression, he looked no different from usual.

"Thump!" After landing, he threw a lump of something in front of Grand Tutor Yu.

It's Akiko.

The Vajra Ring split into five. One was wrapped around his neck, tightening around his throat and sinking deep into his flesh, making Qiu Mingzi's cheeks turn red and his nostrils flare incessantly, yet he could not speak. Another was wrapped around his hands, which were clasped together in front of him. A third was wrapped around his waist, tightening around his dantian, preventing him from circulating his true energy. The other two were wrapped around his legs, one at the knee and one at the ankle.

Akiko knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together in front of her chest, and struck a pose resembling Guanyin in a twist.

"Well done, didn't take up much time." Xiaoyu glanced at Ye Jiutian, and without needing his help, she simply reached out and made the golden ring around Qiu Mingzi's neck automatically fall off and fly back into her hand.

"Yu Fengxian, what are you doing?"

Qiu Mingzi was finally able to speak, and subconsciously shouted at Grand Tutor Yu in a fierce but cowardly manner.

Then he turned to Ye Jiutian beside him, his eyes blazing with anger, and cursed, "Ye Jiutian, you're supposed to be a Golden Immortal, yet you're so shameless and immoral."

I went to keep our appointment immediately because I trusted you.

But you actually broke your promise and turned your back on me the moment we met.

"What benefits did Yu Fengxian give you? You betrayed her and the tyrannical Qin Dynasty, so why would you go back to be her dog?"

Ye Jiutian did not force his way into Chen County. He first sent a message to Qiu Mingzi, saying that there was an urgent matter that needed to be discussed in person.

Caught off guard, Akiko rushed to see him.

As soon as they met, before they could even exchange a single word, the Qiankun Bracelet flew towards him, hitting him hard on the forehead and leaving him dazed.

Then Ye Jiutian made a hand seal and chanted an incantation, and the Qiankun Bracelet split into five, locking him tightly.

Hearing Qiu Mingzi's cursing, Ye Jiutian lowered his head, neither looking at him nor speaking to defend his actions.

Xiaoyu was too lazy to pay attention to this jerk.

She extended her right hand expressionlessly, palm flat, silently channeling her inner energy.

Strands of pure ancestral dragon energy rose from the Qinling Mountains.

The aura of the ancestral dragon was very subtle and light, like a thin layer of mist, surrounding her and gradually forming a three-zhang-tall illusory black dragon shadow.

A five-clawed black dragon loomed above her, its posture like a coiled dragon and crouching tiger, looking down at Akiko. A powerful and terrifying pressure emanated from its dragon eyes.

Especially Akiko, who was the first to be affected, had a rapidly beating heart. Her panic grew like beer bubbles poured into a glass, quickly filling her chest.

"What are you trying to do? Don't do anything rash. We are all immortals, respectable people. We can talk things out. There's no need to resort to violence."

"I would despise myself for wasting a single word or a second on trash like you."

"Boom!" A ball of flame rose from Grand Tutor Yu's palm, containing dragon energy, spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and her own primordial immortal energy.

All three were experienced "masters" who could tell at a glance that she was refining elixirs on the spot!
"Yu Fengxian, what are you doing refining pills? What kind of pills are these?" Qiu Mingzi was flustered and hurriedly asked, "I admit that I have betrayed my promise to some extent."

But you also have to put yourself in my shoes. I lost the Huashan debate, and I had to accept my defeat. I was even ready to leave at the time.

You insisted that I stay, and even forcibly asked the Heavenly Emperor to grant me a title, making me a 'Heavenly Master'.

Is this fair?

I didn't even engage in a battle with you, I didn't waste your time or energy, I didn't hurt you, and I didn't threaten you.

That's fine. Being a Celestial Master in the Qin Dynasty for three months was tough, but I managed to get through it.

But you quickly used trickery to put me on a 'sentence' for decades.

Three months later, I left Xianyang, and it all came to naught. If you were in my shoes, would you be willing to accept that?
As the sage said, "A promise made under deception or coercion need not be kept."

Xiaoyu ignored his shouts and ravings, focusing solely on refining pills.

In just a few breaths, the Samadhi True Fire died down, and a golden "elixir" condensed in her palm.

It is the size of an apricot, with a glassy golden exterior, and it is still radiating a dazzling "divine light".

Qiu Mingzi grew increasingly anxious and cried out in alarm, "Yu Fengxian, I admit defeat this time. I will stay at the Imperial Observatory."

I will not leave until I have fulfilled my contract with the Celestial Master. I swear, I swear to the Heavenly Emperor, I—”

Before he could finish speaking, Grand Tutor Yu flicked his finger, and the golden elixir flew into his mouth and down his throat with a "whoosh".

"Hehe~~" Qiu Mingzi wanted to spit it out, but the elixir looked very substantial and heavy. After entering his throat, it immediately turned into a stream of energy, sank into his abdomen, drilled into his dantian, and finally permeated his golden core.

Those energies, though clearly foreign "primordial energy," flowed into his "immortal power origin" within his golden core with remarkable naturalness and fluidity, just like his own true energy.

"Yu Fengxian, what did you feed me?" Qiu Mingzi shouted excitedly, "Let me tell you, my master is the Heavenly Emperor! I'm here on the Jade Emperor's orders to participate in the Mount Hua Dao Discussion. I represent the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor—"

"Boom—Crack!"

In broad daylight, without any warning, thunder suddenly roared overhead.

There was a thunderous roar, its sound shaking all directions and carrying for miles. It was also mixed with heavenly thunder, containing the might of the heavens, making people's scalps tingle and their hearts filled with fear.

Qiu Mingzi shuddered, her mind clearing. Her lips twitched a few times, but she was still unwilling to give up. She continued to call out, "Grand Tutor Yu, you must understand what I mean."

We have contradictions and conflicts.

But we are all respectable True Immortals of the Xuanmen sect; we should fight without breaking ties, and there's no need to tear off our masks.

Xiaoyu ignored him and silently circulated her secret technique.

The ancestral dragon of Qinling, which had already died, began to thrash and undulate rhythmically once again.

"Ah~~~"

The excruciating pain, as if a red-hot steel rod had pierced through the swallow's skin, suddenly spread throughout Qiu Mingzi's internal organs.

Starting from his lower dantian, it penetrated his internal organs, then rapidly rushed into his brain, and finally spread throughout every layer of skin, every muscle, and every bone in his body.

Even my bone marrow was aching, a tingling and painful sensation that was extremely uncomfortable.

"Yu Fengxian, what did you do to me? Ahhh, it hurts so much, it's so painful! Stop, please stop! Let's talk this out, please stop!"

Xiaoyu continued to ignore him.

Ye Jiutian lowered his eyes, his face expressionless.

Lu Jin Gong stared at Qiu Mingzi with a probing gaze, but after a while he couldn't figure it out, his gaze turned to pity. He turned his head to look at Grand Tutor Yu, and when he saw her calm and composed face, his eyes turned to awe and fear.

The square-headed, dark-faced young Taoist priest was no longer able to concentrate on reciting the classics.

He stared wide-eyed at Qiu Mingzi, exclaiming, "Master Yu, you have such ruthless methods!"

After reading the classics for several months and seeing how you truly dredged the earth's veins, protecting the dragon veins like a loving mother, I thought I had met a benevolent and selfless sage.

I feel a little bit of admiration for you.

I never expected you to be so ruthless.

"With such a cruel heart and such vicious methods, you still teach me about human principles and reason, instructing me to be kind and compassionate. Don't you feel ashamed?"

Xiaoyu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Do you also want to eat 'Immortal Apricot'?"

"You dare~~"

Wang E bounced back several feet like a bouncy ball, his hands instinctively reaching for the "iron chopsticks" at his waist.

But when he actually touched the magic mace, it felt as if he had been burned, and phantom pain appeared all over his body. He withdrew his hand again, and the fierce look on his dark face was replaced by a stiff, awkward smile. "Master, I won't eat the immortal apricot, and I won't complain."

Over the past few months, he has not been obedient and diligent in reciting scriptures.

He was irritable and missed good opportunities, and was tested by Grand Tutor Yu more than a dozen times.

Xiaoyu took him to the barbarian lands of the south. Places like Fujian, Yuzhang, and the South China Sea had many indigenous tribes. She tested him with indigenous children; if he swallowed his saliva, his eyes showed longing and greed, and he showed the expression of a starving mortal seeing food, she would "convert" him.

Grand Master Yu practiced Hinayana Buddhism and did not understand the profound principles of cutting flesh to feed eagles and saving all sentient beings.

She only knew how to use the "method of deliverance" to convert and teach Wang E.

Over two months, Wang E consumed eight thousand sticks of Ten Thousand Year Incense, all of which were used to heal his injuries.

This guy was so traumatized that he developed a conditioned reflex.

Even so, he remains unruly and has just prepared to rebel again.
