My ordinary path to immortality shouldn't end here.

Chapter 142: As Always, It Doesn't Look Like Alchemy
The Puppet Catastrophe!
But why did the Puppet Calamity occur in this celestial realm?
Bai Chijing pondered deeply. He couldn't quite understand it, because it was really not worth going to such great lengths in the Yao Tian mortal realm. Even if all the living beings in the mortal realm were successfully refined into "immortal medicine," it would still be a losing proposition, wouldn't it?
The celestial deeds of countless immortals in heaven are all closely related to the various arrangements in the human world.

Putting everything else aside, the very fact that the five great dynasties were united and the Zhou dynasty was restored was enough to enrage most of the true immortals in heaven. What's more, the creation of the Celestial Alliance and the Human Palace has undoubtedly affected the "refining" cultivation of countless immortals.

"Could it be that the celestial calamity was still stirring things up?"

Bai Chijing couldn't help but think of this matter. However, since Daojun had only given a warning instead of taking action, it was clear that the punishment of the Heavenly Tribulation, even if not canceled, had been temporarily shelved.

Therefore, after eliminating his own influence, Bai Chijing really couldn't understand the purpose of these changes in Yaotian Renjian!
Everything should have a purpose.

And the purpose is often related to interests. For example, the desire for revenge is to avenge wrongs; the desire to slay demons is to feel a sense of pride; and the desire to plot and scheme is to seize a higher position or better treasures.

Bai Chijing really couldn't understand what the benefits were in this whole drama of Yao Tian and the Human World.
Will you help Zhou Shuyue reincarnate smoothly and return to her rightful place?
After careful consideration, Bai Chijing realized that the only possible key point was this.

As for why he said that, it was because Bai Chijing saw that the scene of Lu Zheyuan looking for Zhou Shuyue was strangely similar to something that only happened in novels and storybooks.

For example, a domineering immortal falls in love with me, a mere rogue cultivator in the immortal cultivation world.

This prompted Bai Chijing to take out a magical artifact he had acquired in his early years and examine it repeatedly in his palm.

This celestial treasure is the veil of ultimate, invincible love.

"Very well, let's just wait and see, and treat it as a spectacle..." Bai Chijing pondered for a moment and then gave up on thinking about it further. Moreover, unless a puppet calamity occurs, and immortals who have already died in the past are brought back to life and refine human beings as "immortal medicine," Bai Chijing has no intention of getting involved.

These people can do whatever they want; it's none of his business.

"After all, although I have already attained immortality on my path of cultivation, I have not yet reached the end..." Then, Bai Chijing continued his unremarkable path of cultivation.

That is, refining the Heavenly Profound Pill.

Three years have passed, and that batch of Heavenly Profound Pills is still not ready to be refined. But it doesn't matter, Zhou Shuyue has already left the Human World City, and with her cultivation at the initial stage of the Outer Heaven Realm, she will soon be able to help him meet the requirements for the pills to be completed.

The refining of the Heavenly Profound Pill is not something that can be accomplished by simply staying in the furnace. Incredibly, the refining of the Heavenly Profound Pill requires the constant changes in the current world situation.

If Bai Chijing were to do this, he would need to be shrewd and meticulous in his planning.

While the chances of success are not small, the chances of failure are also not small.

But Zhou Shuyue is different. While her chances of succeeding in forming a pill are not small, her chances of failure are very small. This was a sudden thought that Bai Chijing had when he first met Zhou Shuyue.

Currently, Bai Chijing's Heavenly Profound Pill is not yet complete, so he has not yet obtained the Heavenly Profound Qi and Heavenly Profound Power he needs. However, he successfully obtained the Earthly Profound Power he cultivates two years ago.

Unfortunately, after obtaining the power of the Earth Profound, Bai Chijing realized that the consumption of the Human Profound Qi and the Earth Profound Qi should not be too close together, but should be separated by at least three years.

After consuming the Earthly Profound Qi, one must wait at least nine years before consuming the Heavenly Profound Qi.

There seems to be some taboo surrounding this.

At this time, Bai Chijing concealed his whereabouts, and because of the "Ten Greedy and Desireless Suffering Immortal Scripture," even memories related to him were being gradually forgotten.

This is true for Zhou Shuyue, and even more so for others.

For a long time, Bai Chijing stood right next to the other person and followed them around without the other person noticing.

It was as if an ordinary person had encountered a ghost.

However, the rumors about Bai Chijing have not diminished in this Yaotian mortal realm.

This wasn't Bai Chijing secretly stirring things up and constantly promoting his reputation; rather, just as Lu Zheyuan was suddenly "born" by heaven and earth, rumors about Bai Chijing were also constantly "born" from this world.

Obviously, something is wrong.

It's also very strange.

But Bai Chijing didn't care much. After all, in his current situation, no matter how much the other party tried to manipulate things, it wouldn't affect him.

Bai Chijing had no doubt about Zhou Shuyue's ability to cause trouble, and indeed it was true. Zhou Shuyue did not waste Bai Chijing's three years of cultivation, nor did she disappoint Bai Chijing's expectations. After leaving the Human City, she made a name for herself in this Yao Tian Human World - the Fairy of Qionghua.

There's not much to say about the origin of the name "Fairy of Qionghua," as it's a rather common and well-worn topic.

But if I don't say anything, it seems empty.

According to what Bai Chijing knows, it can be roughly divided into three categories, mainly showcasing the virtues of the Qionghua Fairy Zhou Shuyue: "wisdom," "beauty," and "kindness."

For example, a secret realm suddenly appeared in the far north. This secret realm was called the "Ice Fairy Secret Realm". At that time, an extremely rare natural treasure was about to mature, which attracted several forces to compete for it.

At that time, there were no cultivators at the Outer Heaven Realm present; the strongest cultivator was at the Outer Appearance Upper Realm.

As the fighting escalated, most of the cultivators became increasingly desperate, and casualties were imminent. Zhou Shuyue stepped forward, neither using her initial cultivation level in the Outer Heaven Realm to bully others nor resorting to robbery. Instead, she calmly and gently stopped the fight.

She quelled the near-explosive situation with the words, "This creature is born in a dangerous place and cannot be monopolized by force. If you fellow Daoists fight like this, it will only attract more people who secretly want to reap the benefits. Wouldn't that just be a boon for those who come later?"

Then, this week, Shuyue proposed a rather unoriginal solution: everyone should work together to obtain rare and precious materials, and then distribute them fairly according to their contribution.

In this distribution, Zhou Shuyue, who put in a lot of effort, only received the smallest portion.

In this matter, Zhou Shuyue, who had the highest cultivation level and contributed the most, received the least in return, thus gaining a very good reputation. Although she seemed a bit of a sucker, it didn't stop other cultivators from praising her so highly.

At the time, after this incident, Zhou Shuyue's reputation as the Fairy of Qionghua had not yet spread. It was only after another incident that she gained her current fame.

That was during an operation led by disciples of the Immortal Alliance to suppress evil cultivators.

In this mortal realm of Yao, there are also evil cultivators. And the origins of these evil cultivators are not only from practicing demonic techniques, but also from lineages such as sword cultivation and mind cultivation.

"Evil cultivator" is merely a general term for the behavior of cultivators, not a nickname for disciples of any particular sect or faction.

Those cultivators who become heretical cultivators are all, without exception, perverse in temperament and have great flaws.

At that time, the evil cultivator had already been killed. Coincidentally, there was a woman with him who had been forcibly taken away by him. Because she had been held by the evil cultivator for a long time, she was already pregnant and about to give birth.

At that time, some of the cultivators who participated in the siege wanted to kill the woman, while the disciples of the Immortal Heaven Alliance who were in charge of the siege turned a blind eye to this, which could be considered as tacit approval.

However, just as the murderous intent was palpable, Zhou Shuyue stepped forward and protected the woman.

"This woman was already a pitiful victim, and now she's about to become a mother! We, the righteous path, must not act so rashly in our fight against evil, otherwise we would be harming innocent lives, no different from those evil cultivators."

Later, Zhou Shuyue naturally protected her.

After all, this is someone from the Outer Heaven Realm!
These two incidents, in theory, shouldn't have had a significant impact, but subtly, Zhou Shuyue's reputation spread rapidly.

The speed at which it spread was even faster than the fame that Bai Chijing had spread back then, thanks to his efforts at Tu Jian Mountain!

Bai Chijing's reputation at that time still needed time to "ferment" before it became known to the public. However, Zhou Shuyue's reputation spread like wildfire overnight, as if all the cultivators in Yaotian were waiting for this news.

This is undoubtedly very abnormal.

Therefore, its influence on the world was considerable. As Zhou Shuyue easily made a name for herself, Bai Chijing finally succeeded in refining the Heavenly Profound Pill with Zhou Shuyue's help.

For a time, extraordinary phenomena appeared in the heavens and earth.

Bai Chijing refines pills without needing a pill-refining furnace. Beneath his feet is a massive mountain peak resembling a volcano. Atop the peak, the aura of a celestial treasure is majestic, and within this treasure, furnace fire and the power of heaven and earth are constantly evolving.

The furnace fire is the fire of the power of heaven and earth, and the power of heaven and earth is the power of natural creation.

Only the Celestial Furnace can bear such power.

At that moment, as a round, semi-solid pill, the size of an infant's fist, took shape in the furnace, the pine trees in the valleys fell silent, the birds and beasts on the peaks fell silent, and even the howling mountain wind suddenly disappeared.

Then, in that instant, the pill-shaped object shone brightly!
This light was not a blinding glare, but rather resembled an unprecedented full moon, born from the elixir.

The clear light flowed, neither gold nor silver, but a chaotic, dark yellow hue.

As the light of the elixir swept across the mountain peaks like a tide, it instantly illuminated the sea of ​​clouds within a hundred miles of Bai Chijing's location, turning it a clear, golden yellow.

But this extraordinary phenomenon of pill formation did not end here, until the final loud "hum" resounded.

The sound was grand and far-reaching, neither like a bell nor a drum, falling continuously from the depths of the sky, and only gradually subsided after shaking a vast expanse of spiritual energy.

"Still as exaggerated as ever..." Bai Chijing sighed.

The completion of the Heavenly Mystic Pill was announced to the world.
