Only after unifying the world did I realize that immortals existed in this world.

Xiao Zheng led the Taihua disciples away on a cloud boat.

The once bustling cultivator inn, which had gathered over a hundred cultivators, now only had five people left.

Lu Junfeng looked at the eastern horizon; the shadow of the Taihua Cloud Boat had long since disappeared. He shook his head and sighed softly, "Alas..."

Although his authority had been increased, he was still on the territory of the Great Xia Dynasty. His master had suffered at the hands of the Great Xia Emperor, so he was walking on thin ice. How could he dare to be arrogant?

Moreover, since everyone from Taihua had left, he felt a sense of isolation and loneliness.

His gaze shifted to his fellow disciples: "Four junior brothers, the two elders have already left. I earnestly hope that we can work together to uphold the sect's honor."

"Yes, Senior Brother!"

Among the four junior brothers, three of them bowed solemnly to Lu Junfeng.

Hey~

But the last person blinked, unable to hold back any longer, and revealed a somewhat eerie smile.

"Junior Brother Xi?"

Looking at his junior brother's smiling face, Lu Junfeng shuddered for no reason.

He felt that the smile was bright and cheerful, but it was a little out of place on his junior brother's face. However... on another face, it was damnably harmonious!

A name he didn't want to mention, nor did he want to believe.

Not extravagant at all!!!

No way...

His senses were incredibly sharp; an ominous premonition lingered in his mind.

Hehe~

"Senior brother! What's wrong?"

"Is something on your mind?"

very good!

He was sentenced to death.

Lu Junfeng twitched the corners of his mouth, finally sighed, and said resignedly, "Junior sister, you should know that the sect leader does not allow you to stay."

"Eh?"

"Senior brother, you found out about that?"

This "junior brother" had exceptionally clear and innocent eyes. Looking at Lu Junfeng, he kept praising him, "You're so smart!"

Lu Junfeng knew that the other party's praise was very sincere.

But he still felt that the other person was insulting him.

Lu Junfeng simply said helplessly, "Change back first!"

Clearly, the person in front of me is Chu Xiangyun.

It must have been that powerful Elder Xuangu who used some method to disguise and switch the two of them.

The girl was originally quite pretty, but now she has a man's face, yet her mannerisms and expressions are like a girl's. It looks bizarre no matter how you look at it.

Chu Xiangyun shrugged: "I didn't want to either! But Master's pills won't take effect for another two days."

Lu Junfeng: ...

"Did you use the 'Transformation Pill'?"

"Transformation Pill?"

Chu Xiangyun paused for a moment, then nodded: "It seems that Master mentioned this name."

Lu Junfeng gritted his teeth and cursed under his breath, "You rich bastard."

The 【Shape-Changing Pill】makes the whole body as soft as mud after use, allowing you to use your magic to sculpt and change your body structure and appearance at will. The effect lasts for two to three days. Because it modifies the appearance using one's own original body rather than using a secret technique to conceal it, the concealment effect is excellent. Even cultivators at the seventh or eighth realm would find it difficult to detect unless they observe carefully.

Xiao Zheng was already suppressed here, making it difficult for him to use his profound magical power. Moreover, he didn't like Xuan Gu and Chu Xiangyun, and his main attention was focused on the people of Da Xia. It was understandable that he didn't notice Chu Xiangyun's abnormality.

These pills are secret medicines for special purposes, and can only be refined by high-level cultivators with extremely high alchemy skills. The raw materials are also extremely precious, and most cultivators are unwilling to refine these pills because they are of no benefit to cultivation. They would rather refine other things with those good materials.

The cost of a single [Transformation Pill] is several times higher than the [Spiritual Wisdom Pill] that Xiao Zheng gave to Liu Bingxuan earlier.

Comparing yourself to others will only lead to misery.

He had worked so hard here, yet he hadn't obtained a single [Spiritual Wisdom Pill], while Chu Xiangyun only wanted to stay here and have fun, so Elder Xuangu spoiled her and made her give up two [Transformation Pills].

He sighed and said, "If you insist on staying, you are disobeying the sect's orders. You will be punished if you go back."

Chu Xiangyun shrugged and said indifferently, "Master said that Elder Xiao Zheng is just making a mountain out of a molehill. The sect leader won't care about such trivial matters at all."

Lu Junfeng: ...

Chu Xiangyun's words pierced his heart as well.

Doesn't the sect leader care? Master made a promise to him...

He shook his head, repeatedly asking, "Junior Sister, why stay here? It's not a good place for us to cultivate in the capital!"

He really didn't understand what was so good about Great Xia.

"Daxia is so interesting!"

"Senior brother, why is it so hard to cultivate? I think it's great here!"

Chu Xiangyun, with a man's face, opened her arms, seemingly feeling something, somewhat intoxicated.

At the same time, her aura was gradually rising. Under Lu Junfeng's shocked gaze, lead flowers, silver flowers, gold flowers... slowly gathered and bloomed in her upper, middle and lower dantian.

"This...this..."

Lu Junfeng stared wide-eyed at her, his eyes filled with disbelief: "Junior Sister... how did you break through?!"

Chu Xiangyun's cultivation time was much shorter than his.

However, he quickly caught up with him. The two belonged to the fourth realm of "Guidance", but this guy's Dao heart was spiritual and his Dao was natural, and he had already surpassed him.

Since the arrival of the Great Xia Dynasty, the heavens and earth have suppressed them cultivators, restricting their absorption of spiritual energy and making it difficult for them to cultivate.

However, this guy was completely unaffected, eating, drinking, and having fun without a care in the world, and even improved his skills.

Now that three flowers have bloomed, she has already touched the threshold of entering the fifth realm, [Guardian of One].

How is this possible?!

That dog is a genius!!!

Chu Xiangyun's eyes sparkled, pure and sincere: "Senior brother, cultivation is cultivating the mind. When the mind reaches its peak, breakthroughs will naturally occur! Where can't one cultivate the mind? One can cultivate the mind even more in Great Xia! Following my true heart, I want to stay here, I want to understand this place... If there is any suppression, then I will communicate with the spirit of heaven and earth, belong to this place, and befriend nature. How can I not cultivate?"

What are you saying?

Connecting Heaven and Earth?

Why can she talk about those incredibly difficult things so easily?

Lu Junfeng was speechless.

Mother, I have always lived in her shadow.

Lu Junfeng felt that it was already quite difficult to maintain a good state of mind while standing with Chu Xiangyun.

Suddenly I feel a bit tired and want to give up.

He sighed and waved listlessly at the group, saying, "Everyone, go back and get some rest."

After saying that, he walked into the house on his own.

The three remaining junior disciples looked at each other, speechless.

For some reason, looking at the other person's unsteady back, they felt that their senior brother seemed... a little broken.

P.S.: I'm thinking of changing the book title and synopsis. Actually, I wasn't very satisfied with the name when I published the book, but after thinking of more than a dozen, none of them were quite right, so I'll just use this one for now.

How about trying a short name? What do you guys think of "The Great Emperor of the Dynasty"?
