What does my ancestor's pregnancy have to do with me, a mere servant?

One hour later.

Lin Yuan felt as if his bones had been dismembered and then put back together; every part of his body ached.

Pink mist swirled slowly within the cave, its sweet aroma filling the air.

He gritted his teeth and leaned against the cold stone wall, pulling his tattered robe over himself.

He focused his mind and summoned the small golden words in the depths of his eyes.

Name: Lin Yuan

[Cultivation Level: Qi Refining Level 2]

[Grade 8 Alchemist: 0/1000; Grade 9 Spirit Plant Master: 99/100 (Points can be added)]

Remaining attribute points: 499

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow as his gaze swept over the last column.

Three hundred more points.

Lin Feilu was in the early stage of Foundation Establishment and was given 100 points. Wen Yuci was in the perfect stage of Foundation Establishment and was given 300 points.

The higher your cultivation level, the more attribute points you can acquire.

Once this pattern holds true, then… He subconsciously swallowed.

If you were to encounter a Nascent Soul cultivator one day... no, no, don't even think about it.

That kind of big shot could turn him into a meat patty with a single turn.

What's the use of attribute points if you're dead?

The pink miasma around them not only did not dissipate, but became even more intense.

As long as the formation isn't broken, this place will remain like this.

They died when their souls were completely exhausted.

Lin Yuan stood up and straightened his clothes.

He glanced at Wen Yuci, who was lying unconscious on the ground.

The woman's black, tight-fitting dress was torn to shreds, exposing large areas of her fair skin to the air.

The physical body of someone at the half-step Golden Core stage is indeed formidable.

He felt his back ached, his legs were weak, and he felt like his life was over.

"cough……"

Wen Yuci opened her eyes.

Those narrow, fox-like eyes were initially blank, then instantly filled with a chilling killing intent.

She sat up abruptly, causing the surrounding spiritual energy to surge.

"Clang!"

A three-inch-long, jet-black bone blade appeared out of thin air in her palm, its edge pressed against Lin Yuan's throat.

"You deserve to die." Wen Yuci's voice was hoarse, filled with an overwhelming murderous aura.

Lin Yuan's heart pounded, but he said nonchalantly, "Kill them. Kill them and I'll burn with lust in this pink mist until my soul withers away and I die."

Wen Yuci paused, her wrist twitching.

Pink miasma churned.

The evil fire that had just subsided in my body began to surge upwards along my meridians again.

The power of the Illusory Heart Mortal World Array continues to accumulate.

Wen Yuci's face turned ashen.

She gripped the bone blade tightly, her gaze fixed on Lin Yuan.

"You have a way?" she coldly uttered four words.

"I can refine pills to resist this poisonous miasma." Lin Yuan reached out and removed the bone blade from her throat. "With the pills, Senior Sister can stay conscious. Given enough time, breaking the formation shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

Wen Yuci stared at Lin Yuan.

A mere outer disciple at the second level of Qi Refining, knows alchemy?

"Well……"

Suddenly, Wen Yuci let out a muffled groan and swayed.

Pink mist seeped into her body with her breath, and her cheeks flushed an unnatural red again.

The defenses of reason began to crumble.

She could only be lucid for a short while.

Seeing an opportunity, Lin Yuan said, "Senior Sister, please hold on a moment, I'll start refining the pills right away."

Just do it.

Lin Yuan patted the storage bag at his waist.

"Clang!"

A low-grade bronze alchemy furnace fell to the ground.

Next came several pieces of dark, black spirit charcoal, and a dozen or so spirit herbs of various shapes and sizes.

The Heart-Clearing Pill is one of the most basic elixirs in the cultivation world.

The recipe for Dan is very common, and the ingredients are relatively simple.

Lin Yuan was originally a spirit planter in charge of managing the spirit fields in the outer sect of the Xuan Yin Sect.

He planted a large area of ​​these main ingredients, Tranquil Grass and Ice Spirit Leaf, in the spirit fields he managed.

He has often embezzled public funds.

Wen Yuci leaned against the stone wall, suppressing the restlessness within her body, and coldly watched Lin Yuan's actions.

She wanted to see what tricks this kid could pull.

Lin Yuan flicked his finger, and a wisp of spark fell into the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

The charcoal ignites, emitting a stable high temperature.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze was calmer than one would expect from someone at the second level of Qi Refining.

His hands became afterimages.

The first calming herb was put into the alchemical furnace.

This grass is cold in nature and is easily burned when exposed to fire.

Without pausing, he formed a strange hand seal and channeled spiritual energy into the furnace.

"laugh--"

The impurities were instantly incinerated by the high temperature, turning into a wisp of black smoke that drifted out.

Only a single drop of emerald green liquid remained suspended at the bottom of the furnace.

Next came Ice Spirit Leaf and Bitter Root.

The movements were fluid and graceful, and the control of the heat was extremely precise.

Wen Yuci's initially disdainful gaze gradually turned somber.

This purification technique is incredibly precise, down to the millimeter, and the control of the heat is unbelievably masterful.

Those useless people in the sect who call themselves inner sect alchemists might not be able to do this.

This kid has been hiding his true abilities.

"Freeze!"

Lin Yuan gave a low shout and slammed his hands together.

A soft humming sound emanated from the alchemy furnace.

The air was filled with the aroma of medicine.

"open!"

He slammed his palm against the edge of the alchemy furnace.

The furnace lid shot skyward.

Nine streams of light flew out from the furnace opening and landed in the jade bottle that Lin Yuan had prepared beforehand.

Lin Yuan poured out the pills.

Six perfectly round, emerald-green pills, and three burnt, unusable pills.

The success rate of pill formation is 60%!

Moreover, its quality is definitely that of a top-grade Qingxin Pill.

Lin Yuan swallowed one himself.

A refreshing sensation rushed straight to my head.

The lingering evil fire in his abdomen was instantly extinguished.

My mind is clearer than ever before.

He poured out two coins and flicked them at Wen Yuci with his fingers.

Wen Yuci stared at the arc the two pills traced in the air and caught them in her palm.

She glanced down, a fleeting complexity in her eyes, as if she were weighing something, or perhaps thinking of nothing at all.

Then, without any hesitation, he tilted his head back and swallowed it.

At this moment, the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa Wen Yuci chose to believe a mere outer sect waste at the second level of Qi Refining.

The elixir melts instantly upon entering the mouth.

A violent, cooling force coursed through her meridians.

He forcefully forced the pink miasma back to a corner of his dantian.

The illusion in my mind shattered, and reason returned.

Wen Yuci let out a long breath.

She stood up, her long black dress billowing even without wind.

The pressure of a half-step Golden Core cultivator was released without reservation.

"Okay, very good."

Wen Yuci looked at Lin Yuan with a complicated expression.

I never expected that you, a mere cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining, would possess such astonishing alchemy skills.

"I'll settle accounts with you after we break the formation."

Wen Yuci withdrew her gaze and quickly formed hand seals.

"roar!"

The bronze-armored corpse, which had been standing motionless in the corner, let out a roar.

He strode forward and stood in front of Wen Yuci.

Immediately afterwards, Wen Yuci opened her mouth and spat out a beam of dark light.

The dark light swelled with the wind and transformed into a black bone cone about a foot long.

The surface of the bone cone was engraved with dense, blood-red runes.

It emanated a chilling aura of spiritual energy.

"Breakthrough Cone, go!"

Wen Yuci pointed her fingers forward like a sword.

The black bone cone left a black afterimage as it stabbed fiercely into the pink light curtain above the cave.

The bronze-armored corpse also leaped up at the same time.

With immense force, both fists slammed into the same spot.

The pink light curtain seemed to sense a threat.

The mist churned and condensed into several thick, pink tentacles, which wrapped around Wen Yuci and the bronze-armored corpse.

"roll!"

Wen Yuci shouted sharply.

He forced a drop of blood from his fingertip and flicked it onto the Breaking Formation Cone.

"boom!"

A deafening roar echoed within the cave.

The pink light curtain twisted violently, emitting a teeth-grinding cracking sound.

The tentacles broke off inch by inch.

Lin Yuan retreated to a corner, pressed his back against the stone wall, and crossed his arms.

On the surface, they were watching a play, but in reality, their eyes never stopped moving.

Wen Yuci's attack was fierce and brutal; the fluctuations in her spiritual energy nearly caused the cave to collapse.

But Lin Yuan noticed that every time she activated the array-breaking cone, her face paled a little more.

After suffering repeated serious injuries, she still has to use her essence and blood; this woman is overdrawing her own life force.

Lin Feilu, that woman, thinks she can kill the Thousand-Faced Rakshasa with just a single Illusory Heart Mortal World Array? What a fool's dream.

But the witch's condition after breaking the formation is probably not much better.

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered slightly as he began to plan his escape route.

"Click—"

A tiny crack appeared on the surface of the light curtain.

Wen Yuci's face turned pale.

She bit her tongue hard, spitting another mouthful of blood onto the Breaking Formation Cone.

"Break it!"

The bone cone shone brightly with blood and light, forcefully piercing through the light barrier.

"Bang!"

The pink miasma dissipated instantly.

The scene inside the cave became clear again.

Wen Yuci retracted the array-breaking cone, her body staggering slightly.

The continuous serious injuries, coupled with the forced breaking of the formation, left her completely exhausted.

She turned her head and looked at Lin Yuan.

A chilling killing intent resurfaced in those fox-like eyes.

Lin Yuan sighed.

Women really are creatures that can turn on you in an instant.
