Chapter 449 Mountains and Rivers (Part 8)
Most of those teleported into the main hall this time were Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect. Xianfeng and Xianqi exchanged a glance, quickly flashed out of the energy shield, and faced the new evil spirits with their swords. Because of the increased strength of the evil spirits this time, even though the two teams joined together, it took them two hours to completely eliminate all the evil spirits.

After this battle, some injured cultivators finally appeared. The hearts of the other Nascent Soul cultivators inside the energy shield sank. The two consecutive battles had proven that Ranxi of the Haoran Sect was right. The strength of the evil spirits besieging them would only increase. They dared not even think about what would happen if there were even Nascent Soul evil spirits.

Yunxi paid no attention to these things. Instead, she created an isolation barrier around herself and focused on refining pills. Now was the time to race against time. The evil spirits would only grow stronger, and she would inevitably have to go out to fight. She would no longer have time to refine pills and medicines. Although she was not short of pills and spirit stones, she still needed a source of them. She would not expose her space unless absolutely necessary.

After Yunxi finished all the alchemy tasks she had received that day, she retrieved the Purple Jade Dragon Cauldron and Purple Smoke, placed the refined pills into their respective storage bags, then waved her sleeve to open the isolation shield and returned the storage bags to their respective owners.

After examining the pills, the Nascent Soul cultivators who received the storage bags all showed gratitude in their eyes. They bowed to Yun Xi to express their thanks and conveyed their feelings that if they could leave safely, they would owe Ran Xi a favor.

Ranxi accepted the cultivators' gratitude with a smile, as she deserved it, since she had given all the successfully refined pills to the cultivators who provided the spiritual plants.

In the cultivation world, when you ask an alchemist to refine pills, you usually need to provide three portions of spiritual plants. However, a high-level alchemist only guarantees that one portion of the spiritual plants will be refined into a pill, regardless of its grade. The remaining two portions of spiritual plants are essentially the alchemist's fee. As for what grade of pill it will be, the cultivator seeking the pill will not ask. However, such alchemists are usually master-level, and at the very least, they will provide one portion of a mid-grade pill.

Yunxi delivered top-grade pills, nine in total. She would refine as many batches of pills as the other party provided, and this was not the time to hide her alchemy talent or withhold pills.

She knew very well that if they were to fight the evil spirits to the death, and everyone's resources were exhausted while hers were still plentiful, there would only be two outcomes: she would either contribute her resources voluntarily or involuntarily. She wouldn't create any hidden dangers for herself, so she chose to take the initiative to show her kindness, and it seems that the effect has been quite good so far.

When Yunxi opened the isolation barrier, Wei Yunqing smelled a familiar fragrance of pills. She bit her lip and regretted joining the Spirit Beast Peak to improve her cultivation. If she had stayed on the Pill Peak, she might be the one in the limelight now.

However, the situation was different now; it wasn't the time for her to be jealous. So she moved closer to Yunxi and handed her a storage bag, saying:

"Ranxi, these are the spiritual plants I've collected. Could you please help me refine some pills for self-defense as well?"

Yunxi did not refuse, and she decided that when helping Wei Yunqing refine pills, she would follow the rules of the cultivation world and only give him one finished pill, accepting the rest of the spiritual plants. So, after taking the storage bag, she readily said:

"Alright, as long as you dare to eat the pills I refine."

Wei Yunqing suddenly regretted her impulsiveness, but she had given the spiritual plant to Yunxi voluntarily, and the other party had accepted it. It was probably too late to go back on her word now. Moreover, with a powerful enemy in front of her, Yunxi probably didn't have time to argue with her. In the end, Wei Yunqing comforted herself and went back to meditating.

Seeing that Yun Xi had put away the alchemy furnace, Lin Keyang and Zhang Lingrui came to her side. Zhang Lingrui rotated her wrist and said:

“Senior Sister Ranxi, the evil spirits that appeared this time are at the peak of the late Golden Core stage and the early Nascent Soul stage, which is stronger than before. Your predictions have all come true.”

Lin Keyang added:

"The cultivators who were teleported here this time should be the last batch. The number of them is basically the same as the number of cultivators who signed up for the Nascent Soul stage competition. Moreover, most of the cultivators in this batch are Nascent Soul cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect. It seems that these cultivators have discovered something. I saw that Xianfeng and Xianqi's expressions were rather unpleasant just now."

Yunxi nodded after hearing this:

"I understand. I'll go ask them what they found later."

After saying that, he asked:
"Do you two have enough pills? If you need to refine more, give me the spiritual plants. I'm afraid I won't have time to refine pills for you later." Zhang Lingrui sighed.

"Senior Sister Ranxi, you know I only cultivate one sword technique. I usually exchange all the spiritual plants I collect for sect contribution points. This time, thanks to Ke Yang's reminder, I was afraid I would get injured during the competition, so I prepared some healing pills. I didn't prepare many other pills."

However, I still have some high-grade spiritual plants that I haven't exchanged yet. I just don't know what kind of pills they can be made into; I'm probably missing a lot of ingredients.

After saying that, he put the spiritual plants he could present into a storage bag and handed it to Yunxi.

Lin Keyang, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly and also took out a storage bag, saying:
“Senior Sister Ranxi, I am a body cultivator, and it is common for me to soak in body-tempering potions. I also have plenty of spiritual plants on hand. These are the spiritual plants I used to refine body-tempering potions when I broke through. In addition, with the spiritual plants that Lingrui has, you can refine some pills to replenish spiritual power and break through limits. We can each take one portion, and Senior Sister can keep one portion for herself.”

Neither of them intended to take advantage of Yunxi.

Yunxi accepted everything without question:
“Alright, I will take a look at the combination and refine it. If it is suitable for refining into a potion, it will not be limited to pills.”

Both of them nodded readily.

Everyone knows that Ranxi is the inheritor of the Medical Immortal Sect and has made great achievements in the art of alchemy. Within the Haoran Sect, they can exchange points for the potions they want.

Although the potions originated from Danfeng, everyone knew that they were made by Ranxi. Moreover, because the potions were faster to take effect and had fewer impurities than pills, they were always snapped up whenever they were posted in the disciples' hall. High-level potions were even rarer, and it was said that most of them were made by Ranxi.

Now that they have the potion personally concocted by Ranxi, both of them are very relieved, as the potion's effectiveness is absolutely guaranteed.

Just as the atmosphere was getting right, Xianyao brought Xianxu and Xianfeng to find Yunxi.

Yunxi had just expanded the range of the energy shield a bit more, so that the cultivators who were teleported in later would have a place to stay. They were not surprised at all to see the people from the Immortal Transformation Sect coming to find her.

Xian Yao remained relatively composed, but Xian Xu, standing to the side, looked somewhat pale. The three of them reached the area where the Western Region cultivators were seated and bowed, saying:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I apologize for bothering you. I have something to discuss with you."

Yunxi politely returned the greeting, then pointed to the prayer mat beside her and said:
“Sit down and talk. We still have time.”

After Xianyao sat down, she got straight to the point:

"Senior Brother Xianfeng told us about Fellow Daoist Ranxi's speculation, and I can now confirm that your deduction is correct. A powerful evil cultivator forcibly formed a contract with the Mountain and River Scroll, and then used the scroll's spirit to send us into the evil cultivator's sealed land."
