We've already made our verbal promises, and now is not the time to break ties with the Taoist sect; otherwise, it will only create more trouble.

Even though the snake demon's words were insulting, they had no choice but to endure them and watch helplessly as it took the turbid dragon away.

After all, they've been given leverage over each other.

Moreover, if they were prevented from leaving, their plan to launch a joint counterattack would be exposed.

At that time, offending the Taoist sect was already troublesome, and it was hard to guarantee that it wouldn't attract evil spirits and cause trouble by establishing a presence in the demonic sect.

At that time, they will be attacked from both sides, and their situation will likely be difficult.

Thinking of this, all the demonic immortals frowned and showed anger.

He immediately landed on his divine light, stomped his foot to create an opening, then rolled up his sleeves to capture a large number of demons and evil spirits, crushing them all to death. Only then did his brow relax slightly.

Then, recalling the previous incident of sending his disciples to seize the Taoist sect's outpost, he nodded slightly and smiled.

While the Daoist immortals are still caught off guard, we should send more disciples to completely seize these outposts and bring them under the control of the Demonic Sect.

There's no reason to spit out meat that's already in your mouth.

As for holding people accountable afterward, that's for Fellow Daoist Li Ye to handle.

"Hmm? By the way, where is Daoist Li Ye?" Upon thinking of this, all the Earth Immortals of the Demonic Sect showed strange expressions.

After pondering for a moment, he was suddenly startled, remembering the plan to divide up the muddy whale, and anger rose in his heart.

They hastily used the earth's veins to conceal themselves and rushed towards the Demonic Sect's main base in Fuyuan, all wanting to settle scores with Li Ye.

How could a dragon eat such a perfectly good muddy whale?

......

Before a city, the Taoist immortals, seeing the turbid dragon, the great demon, and the demonic sect depart one after another, all breathed a sigh of relief.

They never imagined that a muddy whale would implicate so many people and cause so much trouble.

There must be many calculations and clashes hidden within.

For example, the timing of the Demonic Sect's Earth Immortals' attack was so coincidental, and how did that dragon appear inside the turbid whale's belly, etc.

There's more to every story than meets the eye; each requires careful consideration.

But not now; there are more pressing matters at hand.

Shouzheng looked at the tall Taoist and the other six Earth Immortals, thought for a moment, and then cupped his hands in thanks, saying, "Thank you all for your help this time."

Within the Fuyuan Domain, only the cities protected by the Daoist sects are safe, and so are the people within them.

The tall Taoist priest and the others quickly returned the greeting: "Elder, you are too kind. It is our duty, there is no need for such formalities."

After saying that, they each suppressed their injuries, glanced at each other, and smiled.

Slaying demons and protecting all living beings—this is how it should be done.

However, he seemed to have laughed too much, which aggravated his injury. Suddenly, his face stiffened, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Upon seeing this, Shouzheng burst into laughter, a rare occurrence for him.

He hadn't felt this way in a long time since he held his junior brother in his arms until he fell into a coma.

Before long, his expression turned serious, and he said to the six Earth Immortals, "Although the matter is now resolved, I fear that another powerful demon may take advantage of the situation. I ask you all to stay in Fuyuan for a few more days to keep watch and reassure the people."

After saying that, he solemnly bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

The six earth immortals quickly stepped aside to avoid the greeting, not daring to accept it directly, and bowed deeply in return.

At this moment, Shouzheng continued softly, "In the next few days, I will also arrange for disciples from various lineages to go into the city to appease the people. At that time, I will need your help."

Upon hearing this, the six Earth Immortals did not refuse and agreed to the matter.

Shouzheng nodded slightly, bid farewell, and then rode his escape light toward Zhengmai Hall.

He needed to thoroughly explain the matters concerning the Turbid Dragon and the Demonic Sect to his senior brother, Yi Xuan.

The accounts that need to be settled must be settled clearly.

The six Earth Immortals nodded to each other, then vanished in a flash.

The next day.

Before an ancient bronze furnace, Lin Shu was assisting Mu Qiushui in refining a calming and mind-concentrating elixir.

With a thought, he activated the Mysterious Female Technique, and the primordial Qi in his Mysterious Aperture transformed into primordial pure Qi, which resided in his Dantian.

He then guided it into the alchemy furnace, using the true meaning of "biochemical transformation" to promote the fusion of medicinal properties, and using the true meaning of "returning to the origin" to remove impurities, so that the elixir reached the highest level.

After finishing his practice, he smiled slightly at Mu Qiushui and said, "Junior Sister, I'm entrusting the matter of forming the core to you."

Mu Qiushui nodded, focused her mind, and took control of the alchemy furnace.

He immediately activated a stream of shimmering blue flame, which combined with the fire beneath the furnace, carefully controlling the heat.

Shortly after, the elixir was completed and taken out of the furnace.

Dozens of pills, emitting a faint, precious light, lay in the furnace, their fragrance subtle and delicate.

Upon hearing this, my mind calmed down, and all my chaotic thoughts were soothed.

Mu Qiushui's eyes lit up immediately, and she said softly, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

The Taoist methods my senior brother cultivates are indeed profound. With his help, I can refine two batches of pills in the time it takes to refine one batch.

In this way, the required pills can be refined in half an hour, then distributed to the disciples of each lineage, dissolved in water, and given to the people of each city to consume.

After speaking, he raised his hand and took out the pills from the furnace, storing them in a pill bottle.

They then reopened the furnace, added various medicinal herbs, and continued refining.

Lin Shu used his Qi to control the furnace at the right time and said with a smile, "It's alright. This morning, Uncle Shouzheng instructed the disciples of each lineage who are good at alchemy to expedite the opening of the furnace and the alchemy."

I thought that the Taoist techniques I practiced could be somewhat helpful in alchemy, so I came to find my junior sister.

It's a good thing that it can be mastered earlier than expected.

Having said that, he focused his mind on the two intentions of life transformation and returning to the origin to continue assisting in the alchemy.

Perhaps due to repeated practice, Lin Shu and Mu Qiushui became increasingly in sync, and their alchemy progressed smoothly.

When all the necessary pills were refined, there was still some time before half an hour had passed.

He watched Mu Qiushui packing up the pill bottle, and a thought struck him. Suddenly, he said, "Junior Sister really does enjoy alchemy."

Once we arrive in Qingwu City, if you have any needs in alchemy, please feel free to tell your senior brother, and I will do my best to fulfill them.

"So that my junior sister can fully display her alchemy skills and live up to what she has learned in the past."

"Hmm~" Mu Qiushui responded softly, but her hands moved a little faster.

A short while later, as if remembering something, she raised her eyebrows slightly and asked softly, "When you were teaching me last night, Senior Brother, you looked happy and your eyes were shining. Did something good happen?"

Lin Shu recalled the scene from last night and was slightly surprised.

Yesterday, Zhuyin successfully transformed into a dragon, and he was naturally overjoyed.

Although it failed to return, the power of its dantian was growing stronger, indicating that it was in good condition and its injuries were healing.

Judging from yesterday's situation, he may have been helped by those two powerful demons and taken back to recuperate.

Just wait patiently in the courtyard for a few days, and Zhuyin will surely come to find you based on its intuition.

However, that joy was only shown for a moment, so how could Mu Qiushui notice it?

Lin Shu looked at her, pondered for a moment, and said as if jokingly, "Junior sister, how do you know so clearly?"

Were you staring at me all night?

"No! No... Senior Brother." Mu Qiushui blushed and said anxiously, her hands pausing as she spoke.

He seemed to realize his lapse in composure and quickly lowered his head, whispering, "It's just a coincidence, nothing more."

Those who study will naturally pay close attention to what is being taught, and it is not surprising that they will make some discoveries.

It's all because my senior brother made it too obvious... It's all his fault, it's all his fault.
