He began his journey to becoming a true immortal by causing others to fail their tribulations.

Upon landing in front of the gate of Yu Dan Sect, Xun Yan had already taken in the entire view of Yu Dan Sect and the surrounding environment from his high vantage point.

Because Yudanmen is relatively small, roughly the size of a small village, and there is no complicated surrounding environment.

Therefore, the area surrounding Yu Danmen was synchronized to the system map.

The location of the light spot was situated on the back mountain of Yu Dan Sect. Xun Yan activated his mind and accessed the information about the light spot:

[Target: Ding Yuan (Grand Elder of Yu Dan Sect)]

[Introduction: A chance encounter and a whispered message led Ding Yuan to decide to attempt to break through to the Golden Core realm. To this end, he didn't hesitate to steal medicinal pills, all to increase his chances of successfully transcending the tribulation.]

[There is about half an hour left before Ding Yuan's tribulation. If the host is interested, he can make preparations as soon as possible.]

After reading this information, a glint of light flashed in Xun Yan's eyes.

"I never expected to run into someone about to break through to the Golden Core Realm while running an errand. But this person is the Grand Elder of the Feather Core Sect."

If I were to try to sabotage his tribulation, the people of the Feather Pill Sect would definitely object, and might even intervene to stop me.

The others are fine, but Liu Kou is a Golden Core cultivator, and even a Golden Core cultivator who has reached that level through drug use is not easy to deal with.

Fortunately, he was the thief who stole the pills; otherwise, things would have been really difficult. However, they might not believe me if I told them directly, so I'd have to guide them a little.

Thinking of this, Xun Yan said, "Sect Leader Liu, I won't make things difficult for you. I can give you some more time regarding the pills, but I need to see the scene where the pills were stolen."

"No problem," Liu Kou agreed without hesitation.

Given enough time, he could refine another batch of pills.

Although this will consume more materials, this expense is necessary for the survival of the Yu Dan Sect.

As for taking Xun Yan to see the alchemy site, he not only didn't object, but was actually quite eager to do so.

Once Xun Yan saw the scene, he would be even more convinced that their pills were stolen, rather than that they were incompetent.

Liu Kou quickly led Xun Yan and the other person to the place where he was refining pills.

This place is not much different from an ordinary hall, except for one alchemy furnace that is more than three meters tall and particularly eye-catching.

At this point, the temperature of the alchemy furnace had completely dropped, but the aroma of medicinal pills could still be clearly smelled.

"Fellow Daoist, the pills absorbed their medicinal effects in this alchemy furnace before," Liu Kou explained.

"Hmm. Is it possible that the guards took the pills?" Xun Yan asked.

Although Xun Yan suspected people from their Yu Dan Sect, Liu Kou believed that this suspicion was entirely reasonable.

Since Xun Yan represented the Misty Sect, he quickly explained:

"Fellow Daoist, there are four people guarding the pills: one in the early Foundation Establishment stage and three in the Qi Refining stage. They are standing in the four corners of the pill refining furnace."

Not only could they keep a constant watch on the alchemy furnace, but they could also supervise each other and guard against attacks from behind. However, they were knocked unconscious.

Therefore, I suspect that the person who made the move was definitely not lower than the Foundation Establishment Realm, and might even be at the Golden Core Realm.

Xun Yan nodded and said:

"If that's the case, is it possible that it was committed by someone you know?"

Furthermore, these individuals must be acquaintances of everyone, or people of a certain status or position, so that he can easily approach the guards.

They won't trigger an alarm as soon as they appear. Once the opponent has knocked out the early Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, dealing with the remaining Qi Refining stage cultivators will be much easier.

This is why he only knocked them unconscious instead of killing them; it wasn't because he was worried about making his crime more serious, but because he thought these people were all from the Yu Dan Sect.

"Killing all these people would not benefit the Feather Pill Sect, or even his Feather Pill Sect."

Upon hearing Xun Yan's guess, Liu Kou's expression changed slightly, because after careful consideration, he realized that this possibility was indeed quite high.

Xun Yan then glanced at everyone present and asked, "Are all the high-ranking members of your Yu Dan Sect here?"

Liu Kou subconsciously replied, "Elder Ding went out to buy materials for alchemy..."

At this point, Liu Kou was stunned, because he realized that Ding Yuan's suspicions largely overlapped with those of Xun Yan.

As the Grand Elder, Ding Yuan was not only second only to him in alchemy skills within the Yu Dan Sect, but also reached the late Foundation Establishment stage in terms of cultivation level.

Ding Yuan had not yet undergone the tribulation because he was worried about failing.

However, if he had enough pills to support him, Ding Yuan would be willing to give it a try.

The reason we didn't do this before was mainly because most of the pills produced by the Feather Pill Sect had to be supplied to the Misty Sect.

They had very little left of their own, and even if they saved every penny, it was difficult to gather enough pills for Ding Yuan to overcome his tribulation.

At first, Ding Yuan might not have cared, but as his lifespan was coming to an end, it made sense that he stole the pills to undergo his tribulation.

But considering that Ding Yuan had worked diligently at Yu Dan Sect for so many years, Liu Kou was a little unsure.

Sensing that Liu Kou was wavering, Xun Yan added fuel to the fire, "Sect Leader Liu, when I came here before, I noticed something unusual about your back mountain. What kind of place is that?"

Upon hearing "back mountain," Liu Kou's eyes widened, and he exclaimed:

"That's the cemetery of our Yu Dan Sect. All the sect leaders, elders, and disciples of past generations are buried there after they die."

To prevent evil cultivators from robbing the tomb, there is also a formation there...

At this point, Liu Kou exclaimed in astonishment, "Could it be that Ding Yuan is preparing to undergo his tribulation in the cemetery, having the formation shield him from the heavenly lightning?"

"Whether it's him or not, let's go and see for ourselves, won't we?" Xun Yan said.

"That makes sense, fellow Daoist. Please follow me."

This time, Liu Kou led the way at an even faster pace, so fast that even Lu Ge could hardly keep up.

Fortunately, Yu Danmen was not far from the cemetery behind the mountain. Just as Lu Ge was about to fall behind, Liu Kou finally stopped.

The back mountain looked completely peaceful at this moment, showing no signs of anything unusual.

Liu Kou breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the area of ​​the cemetery behind the mountain, but it seems there shouldn't be any major problems now."

Xun Yan looked around and keenly sensed that the space here was not harmonious.

In some inconspicuous places, space is slightly distorted, but this distortion is so subtle that it is difficult to detect.

"A spatial array? No, it's not that advanced, and this place always gives me a sense of unease..."

Just as Xun Yan was thinking about this, he clearly felt his heart beating more strongly, and he even heard bursts of thunder entering his mind.

"The Thunderous Clarity has been triggered, which means this is actually an illusion array!"

After making a preliminary assessment, Xun Yan said, "Sect Leader Liu, I wonder if you have enough magic weapon swords? Quality doesn't matter, as long as there are enough."

"some."

Although she didn't know what Xun Yan was going to do, Liu Kou still took out a storage bag and handed it to Xun Yan.

The storage bag contained hundreds of low-grade magic weapon longswords, which could be considered the entire inventory of the Yu Dan Sect.

Thank you.

After taking the storage bag, Xun Yan made a hand seal, and hundreds of longswords shot straight into the sky, each of them crackling with lightning.
