Chapter 850 Inspecting the Base 2
At that moment, another male cultivator who had been meditating opened his eyes and overheard the female cultivator in the yellow robe muttering to herself. He immediately asked:
"Fellow Daoist Li Lu, do you know that Venerable Ran Xi from earlier?"

Li Lu smiled and nodded, saying:
"I am an ascended cultivator from the Weiyu Realm, so naturally I know Venerable Ranxi. She is a legend in the Weiyu Realm and a genius of our generation."

Li Lu replied with pride.

"Can you tell me more about it?"

Li Lu nodded and said:
"The great achievements of Venerable Ranxi cannot be explained in a few words. After the two of them wake up, we will go to see True Venerable Xiongwei first, explain what happened just now, and then talk to Venerable Ranxi."

The male cultivator nodded, his expression turning serious. The feeling just now was terrible; they were so close. If it weren't for Venerable Ranxi's timely intervention, they would probably have become puppets of the evil cultivators.

"What exactly happened to Fellow Daoist Tian Yu? How could this be?"

At this moment, the other two also opened their eyes, still shaken by what had just happened, but they both shook their heads and said:

"I don't know. Fellow Daoist Tian Yu was perfectly fine before. He even shielded me from a fatal attack while fighting the evil creature, and was injured in the process. Could it have been around that time?"

Li Lu shook her head and said:
"It's hard to say. Let's go see True Venerable Xiong Wei first and see if Fellow Daoist Tian Yu can be saved."

The four of them then cast a cleansing spell on themselves, adjusted their expressions, and walked out of the tent.

The encampment was very quiet at this time, with only a few cultivators walking around. It seemed they were going to exchange pills. The four of them exchanged glances, said nothing more, and went directly to the main tent.

Yunxi's investigation continued, but this time she stood in front of the tent where pills were being exchanged. The tent was occupied by pill cultivators from the Spirit Realm. They would not directly confront the evil cultivators, but would only be responsible for refining pills in the rear and providing logistical support, acting as a healer.

Li Li's eyes flashed, and her furry face became serious:
"Your Majesty, there is a problem with this tent."

Yunxi merely sniffed the fragrance of the pills wafting in the air before asking:

"Lili, what did you see?"

"Your Excellency, the power here is too complex, and it contains negative energy."

Lili flicked her tail and spoke the truth.

Yunxi then turned to Dian Dian and asked:
"DianDian, can you smell something?"

Dian Dian twitched her nose hard, then said somewhat uncertainly:

"There is an evil smell, but it is very faint, so faint that it is almost undetectable. It seems that some evil cultivators have stayed here briefly."

Yunxi shook her head and said:

"Evil cultivators can't openly enter this place, unless..."

DianDian immediately added:
"Unless it's a spirit cultivator who has been infected."

This time, Yunxi nodded and said:
"You're right."

Then she stepped into the tent. The tent used a space expansion technique, so it looked like a pill shop. There were cultivators exchanging pills for other cultivators, and pill refiners accepting pill refining tasks. Behind them were individual small cubicles where cultivators were refining pills.

Yunxi's arrival startled the person in charge here. A female alchemist with a full head of silver hair and exuding the fragrance of pills greeted Yunxi with a smile and politely cupped her hands in greeting:

"I am Feng Yan, the head of the Pill Pavilion. I greet Fellow Daoist Ranxi."

Yunxi glanced at the eighth-grade alchemist jade token hanging from the other person's waist and replied with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Feng, you're too kind. I'm just taking a stroll around since I have nothing else to do. You can go about your business; there's no need for you to accompany me."

Feng Yan smiled and said:

"I have long heard that Fellow Daoist Ranxi is the legitimate successor of the Medical Immortal Sect. It is my honor to meet you today. Please come in."

Feng Yan spoke from the bottom of her heart, because the Medical Immortal Sect was universally recognized in the Spirit Realm as the strongest sect in alchemy, and Ran Xi's appearance had further complemented the sect's heritage, single-handedly elevating its status throughout the Spirit Realm. Feng Yan certainly wouldn't believe that Ran Xi lacked real skill, especially considering that not long ago, this woman had led a team to the front lines to provide support, turning the tide and forcing the evil cultivators to retreat to their base. This alone was enough for her to take her seriously.

Yunxi didn't sense any malice from Feng Yan, and since the other party was so enthusiastic, she readily followed her into the back tent. She was there to inspect the camp, and this place was no exception.

After the two sat down, Feng Yan couldn't wait to speak:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, I have obtained a prescription for a potion that allows one to forcibly break through cultivation levels. I wonder if it came from your possession?"

After saying that, he flipped his hand and took out a jade slip, handing it over.

Yunxi took it, scanned it with her divine sense, and nodded:

"This recipe came from me. Back then, in order to cultivate more cultivators who could break through to the Nascent Soul stage, so as to help the entire Weiyu Realm ascend, I released this recipe and promised that as long as the necessary spiritual plants were gathered, I would help with the refining."

Feng Yan's eyes lit up after hearing this, and she said:

"Fellow Daoist Ranxi, is this prescription also applicable in the Spirit Realm?"

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"It is naturally applicable, but the spiritual plants required for refining need to be upgraded in grade, otherwise it will not be able to meet the power required for breakthrough."

Feng Yan nodded repeatedly, overjoyed. This would give her hope of breaking through to the Mahayana stage. She needed to gather the high-grade spiritual plants as soon as possible, and then ask Fellow Daoist Ranxi for help.

While Yunxi was talking to Feng Yan, she had Dian Dian continue to investigate. Just then, someone activated the restriction.

Feng Yan put away the jade slip, waved his sleeve to open the restriction, and said:
"What's the matter?"

"Your Excellency, a pill refiner from the Haoran Sect requests an audience with Venerable Ranxi. May I ask why?"

Yunxi scanned the area with her divine sense and discovered an old acquaintance standing outside—Ye Yirui from Danfeng. She hadn't expected her to take on the mission of guarding the ancient battlefield. She nodded and said:
"Invite her in."

"Yes."

After receiving permission, Ye Yirui, dressed in a blue robe with gold trim, entered. She was currently at the Nascent Soul stage and wore a golden jade pendant indicating she was a fifth-grade alchemist. She bowed to the two of them.

"Ye Yirui greets Venerable Feng Yan and Venerable Ran Xi!"

Just then, Dian Dian suddenly transmitted her voice:

“Master, she had evil energy on her, but it has almost completely dissipated. She must have been in contact with evil cultivators before.”

Upon hearing this, Yunxi's eyes flashed. She spread her hands and opened a barrier, enveloping all three of them, before speaking:

"Ye Yirui, what brings you to see me alone?"

Ye Yirui looked up at Yun Xi, then glanced at Feng Yan, and pursed her lips, saying:

"Your Excellency Ranxi, I have something I wish to discuss with you privately."

Upon hearing this, Feng Yan frowned slightly, then stood up and said:
"I'll go check on the latest progress in alchemy."

Yun Xi waved his hand and said:
“Fellow Daoist Feng, there’s no need for you to avoid this. I imagine what Yi Rui is talking about is related to alchemy.”

Feng Yan then sat down and looked at Ye Yirui, who looked uneasy. Although Ye Yirui tried her best to hide it, it had no effect on a high-level cultivator.

Ye Yirui took a deep breath, looked up and stared straight at Yun Xi, saying:

"Your Excellency, there are alchemists in the Pill Pavilion who are controlled by evil cultivators, and the pills they refine are problematic."

"What? How could this be? If you discovered it, why didn't you report it directly?"

See you tomorrow, babies~
