Many children bring many blessings; my offspring are scattered throughout the myriad realms.

"You actually got so angry you died? What did you just say to him?"

After Ye Hao took Gou Lan's storage bag, he went to Tong Niang's side.

He watched the alchemy system gradually dissipate, a thoughtful look in his eyes.

It's nothing. I just told him some of the truth so he could die in peace!

The system quickly put away the luck bag left by the alchemy system, and then revealed a charming smile.

"What's the truth?"

Ye Hao's gossipy nature was immediately piqued.

[I just told him that he'd been busy for ages, but he'd only taken away one bar of my health, and that his last respawn was also my doing!]

"Forehead……"

Upon hearing her outrageous words, Ye Hao's lips twitched, and his heart skipped a beat.

That woman is no good person!

I need to be careful around her from now on!

Here, take this!

The system didn't pay any attention to Ye Hao's reaction and pushed another item left behind by the alchemy system to him.

It was a green ball of light, about the size of a thumb, radiating a rich life force.

"What is this?"

When Ye Hao saw the green light hovering above his forehead, he immediately looked disgusted and took two steps back.

As the saying goes, if you want to get by in life, you have to be a little cuckolded. What are you hiding from?

Tong Niang had a mocking look on her face.

Clearly, this woman did it on purpose!

"A real man should strive hard and create everything with his own hands; how can he endure humiliation for a mere livelihood!"

"Are you sure? This is the very essence of alchemy, imbued with the power of the Great Dao—a peerless treasure that any alchemist in the world would crave but could never obtain!"

"Once you obtain it, you can communicate with the spiritual entities of heaven and earth and comprehend powerful alchemy techniques. You really don't want it?"

"If Heaven bestows something upon me and I do not accept it, I will suffer the consequences. I will bear this immense karma!"

After hearing this, Ye Hao's eyes suddenly lit up.

Then he lunged forward, grabbed the green ball of light, and swallowed it, as if worried that the leader would try to take it from him.

[Tsk tsk tsk, able to bend and stretch, truly a great man!]

Now, the roles are reversed, and it's Tongniang's lips that are twitching.

[Refine it quickly!]

Tongniang glanced in the direction of White Stone City, then vanished in a flash.

Ye Hao sat down cross-legged and frantically circulated the "Five Elements Returning to Origin Technique" to refine the elixir origin.

hum!

After the origin of alchemy entered his dantian, it immediately resonated with the wood elemental spirit among the five elements.

Then the two merged and became a green seed.

hum!

The next moment, endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth converged from all directions and rushed into Ye Hao's body.

Click!

After absorbing enough energy, the seed begins to sprout, revealing a tender green shoot.

Then, a strong wind arose around Ye Hao.

bang bang bang...

The surrounding rocks and trees could not withstand the attack and exploded, turning into energy that rushed into his body.

Nourished by boundless energy, the tender bud quickly grew into a sapling.

Ye Hao's dantian also underwent changes, expanding a thousandfold, seemingly showing a tendency to evolve into a small world.

At the same time, the five elemental spirits, including the sapling, simultaneously shone brightly.

Light intertwined in the center of Ye Hao's dantian, giving birth to a golden Dao lotus.

The lotus flower opens with five petals, then regenerates from within, opening five more petals, until it forms a nine-tiered lotus platform, at which point it stops growing.

Ye Hao finally broke through the Qi Refining Barrier and officially entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment.

That lotus is the foundation of his Dao.

As the wood-attribute elemental spirit evolved into a small tree, Ye Hao felt his origin being tempered, and his life level leaped forward.

[Host, you're amazing! You actually evolved directly from a mortal body into a Medicine Spirit Saint Body!]

At this moment, Tongniang's voice rang in Ye Hao's mind again.

"The Divine Body of Medicine? Does that mean I'm going to become a master alchemist?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Hao's spirits immediately lifted.

[So what if you're a master alchemist? You've achieved your Medicine Spirit Saint Body by fusing with the essence of alchemy, making you far stronger than an ordinary Saint Body. If you're lucky, you might even comprehend an innate divine ability!]

hum!

As soon as Tongniang finished speaking, Ye Hao entered a mysterious state.

At the same time, countless pieces of information appeared in his mind, including various prescriptions, elixirs, spirit beasts, and all sorts of rare and wonderful treasures.

Even more incredibly, he actually comprehended the Medicine Spirit Fusion Technique and a trace of natural power from the source.

The Medicine Spirit Fusion Pill Technique requires no alchemy furnace or alchemy fire; it can directly draw upon the essence of spiritual herbs for fusion, refining pills out of thin air.

The forces of nature can stimulate the growth of plants and trees, and even launch attacks.

But before he could verify the mystery of these two techniques, several unfamiliar auras appeared in the distance.

These people travel through the air at an extremely high speed.

What's strange is that the people who came seemed to be from two different camps, and they were wary of each other.

The crowd seemed to sense Ye Hao's power as well, and stopped a dozen feet away from him.

"It's Gou Lan!"

"She...she's dead!"

When one of the groups saw Gou Lan lying dead on the ground, their expressions changed drastically.

"Ha ha……"

"Isn't this the Yan family's newly promoted Foundation Establishment ancestor? How did he end up dead here?"

Unlike the first group, the other group not only did not feel sorry for Gou Lan's death, but instead looked gloating.

However, none of them noticed that a tiny ant silently crawled out of Gou Lan's sleeve and returned to Ye Hao's body.

"Hmph, Luo Bin, this is a feud between our two families. You actually colluded with external enemies to attack and kill my Yan family's Foundation Establishment cultivators! I will definitely report this to the Golden Cloud Sect and have the sect stand up for us!"

An old man from the Yan family glared angrily at the leader opposite him, as if he wanted to bite off two pieces of flesh from him.

The other two members of the Yan family were also filled with righteous indignation.

The Yan family finally had their fourth Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he died inexplicably before he could even make a difference. How could they not be furious?

"shut up!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Bing's expression changed drastically.

Their ancestors were both outer disciples of the Golden Cloud Sect.

He returned to the mortal world and established a family of cultivators because the path to immortality was cut off.

The Golden Cloud Sect allows internal competition among its members, but forbids them from using external forces to eliminate each other.

After all, cultivators have a much higher chance of giving birth to offspring with spiritual roots, and the Golden Cloud Sect is counting on various cultivation families to provide fresh blood for the sect!

If it is confirmed that the Luo family has colluded with outsiders to deal with the Yan family, the Jinxia Sect will not stand idly by.

"Yan Nantian, stop making false accusations!"

"That's right. It was clearly your Yan family's daughter-in-law who was unfaithful and had an affair here, yet she was murdered and robbed. What does that have to do with my Luo family?"

"Luo Feng, say that again if you dare!"

"Say it a hundred times, it's the same: this matter has nothing to do with my Luo family. If your Yan family is not satisfied, then let's go to Jinxia Gate and confront each other!"

"Hmph, who doesn't know that your Luo family and my Yan family are at odds? Who else could it be but you?"

……

The two immediately launched into a heated argument, arguing until their faces were red and their necks were thick, completely forgetting the existence of Ye Hao, an outsider.

They argued for a long time, but neither of them actually laid a finger on the other.

Finally, even Ye Hao couldn't stand it anymore.

It's utterly shameful for a cultivator to be acting like a shrew.

"Hey!"

Ye Hao took a deep breath and then let out a thunderous roar that made the eardrums of the Yan and Luo families ache.
