A journey through immortal realms begins with a phantom tale.

This alchemy yielded a large quantity of pills. The lowest grade, the Xiuxian Pill, numbered over nine thousand.

Fengyuan Star has seven major sects, dozens of small and medium-sized sects, plus some cultivation families. According to the rules of the Holy City, each sect is limited to sending two hundred people to participate in the event in order to control the number of participants and ensure that the Holy City Square can accommodate them. However, even with the limit, more than ten thousand cultivators still gathered at the scene.

The more than nine thousand Xiuxian Pills were first distributed to the leaders, elders, and heads of various cultivation families. Luo Cheng and Li Qiang also kept some for future use.

As Luo Cheng's Daoist partner, Lin Chen received over a hundred Xiuxian Pills, which were personally delivered to her by Dai Nanfeng. This seemingly small gesture filled Lin Chen with immense gratitude—Fairy Dai Nanfeng was clearly very adept at interpersonal relationships.

In contrast, Li Mengtian was quite upset. She was just a rogue cultivator, and she was able to enter the venue because Lin Chen had spoken to the venue management. Now, watching everyone distribute immortal pills, she couldn't get a single one. Especially after catching a glimpse of Dai Nanfeng giving Lin Chen an immortal pill, she felt even more bitter.

"Why... why does she have to!" Li Mengtian gritted her teeth inwardly.

Lin Chen put away the elixir and glanced at Li Mengtian. Seeing her sullen expression, a strange sense of pleasure rose within him. Li Mengtian felt the gaze and cursed inwardly, "You wretched woman!"

Luo Cheng didn't notice the two women's subtle actions, but Li Qiang, being quite gossipy, used his divine sense to transmit his thoughts: "Senior brother, is that your ex-girlfriend? Why did you bring her to Fengyuan Star?"

Luo Cheng replied with his divine sense: "Junior brother, have you ever thought about what it would feel like to look around and find yourself without a single familiar face, even a thousand or a million years from now?"

Li Qiang fell silent. After arriving at Fengyuan Star, he inquired about his hometown from Fu Shan and the cultivators from Blue Star. He wanted to go back and see it, but he was also afraid that things would be different when he returned.

Luo Cheng added, "When that day comes, even if you see your former enemies, you might not feel hatred anymore."

Li Qiang suddenly understood. He was already open-minded, and now he realized even more clearly: "With thousands of years passing, what is there that I can't let go of?"

"Letting go of the past is also letting go of yourself," Luo Cheng said with a sense of relief.

Li Qiang laughed and said, "Senior Brother's level is still higher."

Luo Cheng stopped transmitting his voice and thought of Emperor Ye. After Emperor Ye attained enlightenment, he felt a sense of kinship when he saw his enemies again. He said, "Even if they are enemies, I hope they live longer."

However, Luo Cheng ultimately didn't give Li Mengtian the elixir. In his heart, that woman was already a stranger. When his gaze fell on Lin Chen, his eyes softened considerably. Lin Chen felt that warmth, and her eyes curved into crescent moons.

After the first batch of elixirs was distributed, the second batch of elixirs will be ready in two days.

"Everyone, the second pill is about to be released," Luo Cheng announced loudly. "This is the Guiyuan Pill. If a cultivator below the Nascent Soul stage takes one, they can condense their Nascent Soul."

These words shocked everyone present. No one had ever heard of such miraculous pills, much less witnessed the spectacular sight of hundreds or even thousands of elixirs gushing forth simultaneously. Even the Alchemist Saint Mei Youbing was stunned—in his thousand years of alchemy, this was the first time he had ever seen such a scene.

Mei Youbing is Li Qiang's close friend despite their age difference. Mei Jingjing has recognized Li Qiang as her older brother. The two gained a lot during the first round of pill distribution, and now they are even more full of anticipation.

The commotion was even greater when the elixir was born in the second episode. Luo Cheng used the Divine Spirit Technique to control the cauldron, lifted the lid, and instantly a radiant glow appeared.

"Junior brother, Lao Gan, help me!"

Before Luo Cheng could finish speaking, Li Qiang and Qian Shanyong had already taken action, using immortal techniques to seal the space. The immortal pill possessed a spirit, and if it was not restrained, it would break through the void and fly away.

Upon hearing about the effects of the Guiyuan Pill, Li Mengtian was deeply shocked: "If we had this pill back on Earth, would my parents and best friend have survived?" Little did she know that without sufficient cultivation level to support them, forcibly raising their cultivation would only harm them.

This time, the elixirs were once again distributed to the sect leaders by Luo Cheng and others. Lin Chen received more than a dozen Guiyuan Pills, his face beaming with happiness.

The number of Guiyuan Pills is relatively small, about a thousand.

In the days that followed, almost one type of elixir was produced every day, with three-stage, four-stage, and five-stage elixirs emerging one after another. According to Luo Cheng, these few stages of elixirs were not given to Lin Chen; he could tell she was somewhat impatient.

Seeing this, Dai Nanfeng specially comforted her, "Little sister Lin Chen, don't worry. Your brother is a cultivator, he won't ascend to the Immortal Realm."

Lin Chen smiled wryly: "But he will ascend to the realm of gods."

"Once he goes to the Divine Realm, come to the Holy City to visit me," Dai Nanfeng said gently.

Another day passed, and the sixth elixir was about to be produced when suddenly tribulation clouds gathered in the void—the birth of the true divine elixir had attracted a heavenly tribulation. Fortunately, the Holy City had a defensive immortal array, and several immortals were stationed there. Qian Shanyong dispersed the tribulation with a single immortal technique.

Luo Cheng and Li Qiang collected the pills; in the sixth episode, a total of eighty-one elixirs were produced, which were extremely precious. Luo Cheng kept them for himself, intending to distribute them to the immortals and wandering immortals who helped him after the pill refining was completed.

The next day, the sky suddenly darkened. This was the tribulation lightning brought about by the birth of the divine pill in the seventh episode, a hundred times more terrifying than before. Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng both stared at the sky with solemn expressions.

"I never expected that I could actually refine the seventh-grade divine pill," Qian Shanyong murmured.

Luo Cheng remained calm. He knew that Yuan Gu Shangren was definitely observing in secret. This last batch of pills was of great significance to Yuan Gu and Qing Di, as it could help them break through their realms and stabilize their cultivation.

Sure enough, just as Qian Shanyong was about to face the tribulation lightning, the Bei Ye Dan Cauldron suddenly flew up on its own, breaking through the immortal array and soaring straight into the sky. Li Qiang was about to step in to stabilize the cauldron when Luo Cheng stopped him: "It was Master Yuan Gu who made the move."

Li Qiang was somewhat reluctant, but quickly added nonchalantly, "It's already an immense blessing that Master Yuangu is willing to lend us his alchemy cauldron."

Luo Cheng said to Qian Shanyong, "Old Qian, please take care of the aftermath."

"Don't worry." Qian Shanyong then arranged for the Holy City disciples to handle the aftermath and reassured the cultivators present.

Luo Cheng took out the sixth Divine Pill and distributed one to each of the scattered immortals who had helped, as a token of his gratitude. Afterwards, he, Li Qiang, Qian Shanyong, and Dai Nanfeng went to Qian Shanyong's palace.

Xuanlong is currently recuperating at the imperial palace.

Li Qiang walked up to Xuanlong with a magic pill in his hand and waved it, saying, "Brother Xuanlong, look what this is?"

"A Divine Pill for Overcoming Difficulties?" Xuanlong's eyes lit up. This fifth-generation divine pill could heal his injuries and even allow him to advance further. As a Celestial Immortal, he needed no help from others. He accepted the pill, thanked the celestial being, and immediately began to heal his wounds.

The four arrived at the reception room, where Luo Cheng took out the sixth episode of the Divine Pill and distributed it. They then got down to business—it was time to prepare for the Ancient God's Treasury.

Li Qiang said, "Brother Fu and Brother Hou are about to ascend to immortality, and I want to go see them off."

Luo Cheng nodded: "Then I'll take Chenchen to the Heavenly Court Star to relax." Ever since he brought Lin Chen to Fengyuan Star, he has been traveling all over the universe. He came back this time and stayed for a while. In the blink of an eye, he has to go to the Ancient God's Treasury. He owes her too much.

Taking the opportunity, Qian Shanyong mentioned the situation of the Xinbo Cape Ancient God's Treasure: "Xinbo Cape is in the western part of the cultivation world. There are no cultivators or mortals in that area, only the Bona people."

The Bona people have a special physique and cultivate strange techniques. Once they reach a certain level, they will self-destruct. What's even more terrifying is that they reproduce extremely quickly.

"To protect the cultivation world, Yuan Gu, Qing Di, and Bo Ju Shangren signed a contract with Bo Na Gu Xianren, restricting them to staying only in Xinbo Cape and forbidding them from entering the cultivation world," Qian Shanyong added. "The Ancient God's Treasury is located to the east of Xinbo Cape."

According to the records of ancient immortals, the Ancient God's Treasury appeared suddenly. When it first appeared, countless immortals and ancient immortals went to explore it, but all the immortals who participated perished, and 80% of the ancient immortals also died, which dealt a huge blow to the entire cultivation world.

Li Qiang was alarmed: "Senior brother, should we not go?"

Luo Cheng shook his head: "If you want to become a god, you must go there." He didn't tell Qian Shanyong and Dai Nanfeng the ultimate secret of the Ancient God's Treasury.

Qian Shanyong didn't actually want to go to Xinbo Cape—even Xuanlong almost perished there, which showed how dangerous it was. Dai Nanfengyu, on the other hand, had never been there and was quite curious, wanting to go and see for himself.

After finishing his business, Li Qiang returned to the Chongxuan Sect. He was disappointed to not see Fu Shan, but he did receive a jade slip left by Fu Shan—Fu Shan's last message to him before his ascension.

To Luo Cheng's surprise, Li Qiang stayed at the Chongxuan Sect for ten years after returning. During this time, Luo Cheng visited the Xinlian Pavilion and discovered that Li Qiang had entered a state of enlightenment.

"This guy's cheating again." Luo Cheng sighed helplessly, set up a defensive immortal array for Li Qiang, and then left the Heart Refining Pavilion. They had originally planned to go to Heavenly Court Star together, but now they could only wait for him to come out of seclusion.

For the first two years, Luo Cheng took Lin Chen to wander around Fengyuan Star, enjoying the scenery. During this time, there was one thing that gave him a headache—Lin Chen kept pestering him for the Seven-Ingredient Pill, wanting to break through her cultivation level as soon as possible to catch up with him. When Luo Cheng refused to give it to her, she threw a little tantrum, and Luo Cheng had to coax her for a long time.

Lin Chen was originally a sensible and obedient person, but she wanted to become stronger too much. She didn't want to be like this anymore, where every time Luo Cheng went to a dangerous place, she could only watch helplessly and couldn't do anything about it.

Seeing that Li Qiang had not yet emerged from seclusion, Luo Cheng took Lin Chen to Tianqi Star. This was also Lin Chen's wish; all these years she had regretted not bringing Lin Mengdie back to Fengyuan Star.
