Primordial Era: Elixir of Qi Transforms into Form, Controlling the Pharmacology of the World

In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed.

this day,

Tongtian found Ling Dan, first taking him to bid farewell to the powerful figures of the Witch Clan, and then departed.

This change also puzzled Ling Dan: "Uncle-Master...where are we going this time?"

"Kunlun, your master ordered me to take you back." Tongtian said seriously, as if it were something urgent.

Ling Dan asked in confusion, "Master wants us to go back? Could it be that Master knows about Uncle's drinking habit?"

"How could that be? If they really knew, they would at most scold me. They would never use the connection of fate to make me rush back!" Tongtian said with utmost seriousness.

Ling Dan pondered for a moment, not thinking too much about it, but instead a hint of surprise appeared on her face.

I can finally go back.

Kunlun is great.

I didn't know before, but after being away from home for so many years, following the unreliable Tongtian, I've come to realize how warm and precious Kunlun is.

They were in a hurry, so Tongtian took Lingdan, transformed into sword energy, and flew towards Kunlun.

The sword technique that reaches the heavens allows for extremely fast flight.

In just a few hundred years, they returned to Kunlun.

Upon arriving at Kunlun, they felt a familiar aura, but instead of the smiles of Laozi and Yuanshi Tianzun, they were greeted with solemnity.

Tongtian's expression remained unchanged, as if he had just returned from a travels: "Eldest brother, second brother...you..."

Laozi ignored him and instead looked at Ling Dan: "Disciple... where are your three Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Pills?"

"Nine-Turn Demon-Slaying Pill?" Ling Dan asked, her face full of questions.

"Yes, it's the Nine-Turn Demon-Exorcising Pill." A hurried voice came from afar, and then a Taoist priest flew over.

Tongtian looked at the cultivator, his expression changing: "Taiyi..."

Ling Dan was also surprised. Why did Taiyi come to Kunlun?

Laozi stroked his beard and explained, "Disciple... take your Nine-Turn Demon-Exorcising Golden Pill and help Fellow Daoist Dijun exorcise the demon."

Ling Dan had no suspicions and immediately took out the pills.

A short while later, they arrived at a side hall.

Here are Xihe, whom Ling Dan had seen, and Di Jun.

The current Di Jun no longer possesses his former majesty; instead, he appears somewhat ferocious, radiating a Daoist aura that resists the erosion of demonic forces. His eyes have transformed into two colors: one gold, the other red.

Upon seeing Di Jun, Tongtian couldn't help but exclaim, "Has Di Jun fallen into demonic possession?"

Ling Dan never expected that Di Jun would fall into demonic possession.

No wonder Lao Tzu had Tongtian bring him back.

Xihe was also excited when she saw Lingdan: "Little Lingdan, could you... possibly use the demon-repelling pills you've refined?"

Ling Dan looked at her master.

After the latter agreed, Ling Dan did not hesitate and took out the pills hidden in Qingyun.

Refined by Ling Dan, this was the first Demon-Slaying Pill. Upon completion, it gained merit and reached the eighth-grade quality. After the Demon-Slaying War ended, it gained more merit and advanced to the ninth-grade quality.

These three pills are also considered Ling Dan's unique Nine-Turn Pills.

A medicinal elixir, radiating merit, appeared, its fragrant aroma enveloping Di Jun.

Instantly, the demonic energy within Di Jun surged, causing him to let out a low roar: "Roar..."

Seeing this change, they knew the demonic energy was dissipating. Taiyi was also anxious: "It's effective! Quickly take the pill, brother..."

Ling Dan immediately shook her head: "There's no need for that. A nine-turn quality pill is extremely potent. I only need to urge the pill to release its fragrance to clear the demonic energy from Senior Di Jun's body; there's no need for him to consume it."

As she spoke, Ling Dan manipulated three Demon-Slaying Pills of the ninth rank. The three pills were like three spiritual treasures, or three living beings. At Ling Dan's urging, they surrounded Di Jun, releasing a pure medicinal fragrance that merged into Di Jun's body.

As they merged, the demonic energy within Di Jun's body gradually dissipated.

Seeing this, Taiichi, who had been about to say something, gradually relaxed.

Xihe, too, smiled slightly, a hint of relief in her expression.

Several years later, three pills, carrying a sense of weariness, flew into Ling Dan's arms.

Ling Dan sent it to Qingyun, a place where spiritual medicines are stored.

Next, they need to absorb the elixir in order to gradually recover.

Di Jun had also recovered, all demonic energy had dissipated, and he looked slightly weak. "Young friend Ling Dan, thank you very much this time. I, Di Jun, will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."

Ling Dan felt awkward being thanked like this, and could only move closer to her master.

Laozi stroked his beard and casually smiled, "Fellow Daoist Dijun... no need to be so polite, it's just about eliminating demons and protecting the righteous path. However, is the news you brought truly true?"

"Absolutely true. Even if the Eastern King didn't transform into the Rahu puppet, he must have fallen into demonic possession. The demonic power contained within that God-Slaying Spear is terrifying. I was merely pierced, and the demonic power and pure demonic energy it contained almost devoured me, causing me to succumb to demonic ways. And the Eastern King who obtained the God-Slaying Spear will definitely be the same." Di Jun spoke with great seriousness.

"If the Eastern King has fallen into demonic possession, then this is truly troublesome." The Primordial Heavenly Venerable's expression turned solemn.

Lao Tzu stroked his beard in silence, his heart also filled with turmoil.

Not long ago, the Eastern King was in charge of the great battle against demons, but now he himself has fallen into demonic possession. How ironic.

Laozi stroked his beard and said, "Fellow Daoist Dijun... could you tell us in detail what you know and what you guessed...?"

Di Jun naturally did not refute, and slowly began to speak.

Just then, a loud sound resounded throughout the entire wilderness.

"From this day forward, throughout the primordial world, all beings who have taken human form, regardless of their aptitude or origins, may enter my celestial abode and enjoy the methods of cultivation. I, the Eastern King, will spread the Dharma throughout the primordial world. Haha..."

The words of the Eastern King spread throughout the primordial world, causing an uproar.

Countless rogue cultivators from the primordial era exchanged glances, their eyes filled with longing and excitement.

Many powerful beings from the primordial era now had grim expressions, filled with annoyance.

Tongtian was furious: "What a Dongwang! He created the demonic path and spread his magic throughout the primordial world. He's going to be an enemy of the whole world!"

"Heaven's sins may be forgiven, but self-inflicted sins cannot be forgiven. Elder brother... the Eastern King's actions have certainly aroused public anger." Yuanshi Tianzun stroked his beard, his expression filled with murderous intent.

"Although the Eastern King's actions have aroused public anger, they have also attracted followers from the lower levels of the primordial world. One is positive and the other is negative, so it is not easy to deal with him." Laozi was also cautious and prudent.

Ling Dan, standing to the side, remained silent.

But his mind was racing.

It seems that the downfall of the Eastern King Duke is related to the demonic path!

……

A short while later, Ling Dan went into seclusion to cultivate.

This matter is far too vast, involving the entire primordial struggle. The Eastern King, relying on the transmission of his teachings, has gathered countless rogue cultivators and challenged numerous powerful beings. After this battle, the powerful beings will be defeated, and the Eastern King will inevitably dominate the primordial world, gaining control of its power and becoming even stronger.

If the Eastern King is defeated, it means his demise.

Such a sweeping event across the entire prehistoric world is beyond Ling Dan's reach given his cultivation level.

Ling Dan didn't want to get involved either; it was best for her to stay in seclusion and cultivate quietly, as this was such a dangerous matter.

A thousand years later,

"Now that my physical body has reached the seventh stage of cultivation, it's time for me to emerge from seclusion."

Ling Dan stepped out of her secluded cultivation place and felt the spiritual energy and Daoist charm spreading throughout the Kunlun Blessed Land. She felt so comfortable.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, making Ling Dan alert: "Who...?"

Amidst her doubts and wariness, Ling Dan sensed a familiar, delicate fragrance wafting into her nostrils.

Ling Dan stared wide-eyed at the fragrant cultivator, her expression as if she had seen a ghost: "Sister Houtu... how is it you? Wait, this is Kunlun, how come..."

It was quite strange that the visitor was none other than Houtu, the Ancestral Witch.

"What's wrong? Can't you come to Kunlun, sister?" Houtu smiled, bent down, and picked up Ling Dan in a familiar manner.

Ling Dan tried to resist, but even with her Great Luo Realm cultivation and seventh-level physical body, she could not withstand Hou Tu.

There was no way around it; Houtu was, after all, one of the Ancestral Witches, and in terms of strength, she naturally far surpassed Lingdan.

"Sigh..." Ling Dan could not resist and could only sigh as she was pulled into his arms.

Ling Dan was also frustrated, wondering how old she was.

Tens of thousands of years have passed since it took human form.

For tens of thousands of years, it has just not grown up.

Ling Dan was also helpless in this regard.

"Little Ling Dan... It's been thousands of years since I last saw you, and your cultivation has improved quite rapidly. However, shouldn't you thank your elder sister?" Houtu gazed at Ling Dan with a slight smile.

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan understood Hou Tu's meaning and nodded, "Yes, thank you, sister, for giving me the fragment of creation. It has accelerated my cultivation speed."

"Good to know." Houtu teased Ling Dan, a smile appearing on her face.

Ling Dan remained silent for a moment, then asked with a hint of confusion, "Sister Houtu, what brings you to Kunlun?"

"Speaking of this matter, we must mention you." Houtu picked up Lingdan, with a hint of emotion, "Little Lingdan... To be honest, we came here today hoping to make a deal. We hope that Fellow Daoist Taiqing will sell you to us."

"Sell it to you? Why?" Ling Dan was also stunned, staring at Houtu, not knowing what to say.

"Nuwa failed to create another race. As you know, in order to solve the problem of the Wu tribe's reproduction, we invested in Nuwa's cultivation and searched for fragments of jade discs containing the Great Dao of Creation from all over the primordial world. Nuwa did not disappoint and found a way to reproduce. That is, to rely on the Great Dao of Creation to create a special race to help our Wu tribe reproduce."

Previously, Nuwa comprehended the Great Dao of Creation, and from you, she gained further insights into the mysteries of creation. This allowed her to advance further and comprehend the method of creating races. Unfortunately, when Nuwa used numerous materials to create a race, who knew that divine punishment would descend and destroy that newly born race?

Nuwa suffered a severe blow as a result.

At this point, Houtu sighed, a hint of melancholy in her voice, "However, Nuwa also learned from the Heavenly Punishment that creating races is not impossible, but it requires a special opportunity. And this special opportunity is hard to find; perhaps your creator, Daoist Taiqing, knows. So we came."

Upon hearing this, Ling Dan expressed disbelief: "Sister Nuwa has actually comprehended the Great Dao of Creation to this level? Yet, creating a race has attracted divine punishment?"

"Speaking of which, Nuwa was able to comprehend the Great Dao of Creation to the level of creating a race so quickly, thanks to you. Over the years, Nuwa often held you in her arms, trying to understand the mysteries of creation from you, and finally found the method to create a race. But unfortunately, heavenly punishment descended to warn Nuwa." Houtu did not hide anything and told Ling Dan these things.

Ling Dan was filled with mixed feelings; she realized that she had brought this whole mess upon herself.

It seems that, based on her past life memories, Nuwa was not able to create a race so quickly.

This time, it was all because of my comprehension of Ling Dan that I was able to get it done so early.

Ling Dan felt somewhat embarrassed, and while pondering to herself, she asked, "How is Sister Nuwa doing now?"

"Nuwa is unharmed. This divine punishment only destroyed the race that was about to be born, serving as a warning to Nuwa. It severely injured Nuwa, but she can recover after cultivating for several thousand years," Houtu said with a slight smile.

Ling Dan nodded silently, somewhat relieved.

A short while later, Ling Dan followed Hou Tu to the Kunlun Grand Hall.

Today, Dijiang, Zhujiuyin, and a few ancestral witches are still alive.

Ling Dan also saw her master and respectfully said, "Disciple greets Master, Uncle-Master..."

Laozi looked at Ling Dan and the changes in his cultivation level, and nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad. Sit down first, we'll talk about what you've gained later."

Ling Dan nodded.

After things calmed down a bit, Dijiang said, "Fellow Daoist Taiqing... you may know about the opportunity that Nuwa spoke of for creating the race. But I don't know what that opportunity was."

Laozi stroked his beard, lost in thought: "This matter cannot be discussed. However, I can guarantee that I will find this opportunity for Nuwa, enabling her to create a race. And the birth of this race will become the hope for the propagation of the Wu tribe."

"Is that really so?" Zhu Jiuyin asked with a hint of seriousness.

"That's natural. However, such an opportunity requires waiting for the right time. It's difficult to achieve in a short period of time," Lao Tzu said earnestly, as if he knew a lot.

"If that's the case, our Wu tribe can afford to wait." Dijiang also showed a hint of seriousness.
