Forced to become a pure and innocent female pharmacist in order to cultivate immortality.

"They ran really fast. Did they discover my intentions?" Bei Ming Hantian was speechless, then sat down to meditate and recover his strength.

Before long, more members of the Beiming family arrived. After all, this place was teeming with monsters, so it was impossible for them to act alone.

The Beiming family almost always acts together as close relatives, so they don't have to worry about being betrayed by their companions.

"Father? You're here! What happened? Who injured you? Was it a powerful demon at the Nascent Soul stage?" Several men and women of similar age descended from the sky and landed in front of Bei Ming Hantian.

These are all Bei Ming Hantian's descendants, including nephews, nieces, sons, and daughters. They had just received Bei Ming Hantian's distress signal.

At first, he was confident that he could defeat Ye Liuyun, but as the fight went on, he found himself unable to win, so he secretly passed on information.

Unfortunately, Ye Liuyun had Lin Qingyou with her. After Lin Qingyou sensed that people were approaching, she immediately told Ye Liuyun that they were all powerful cultivators from the Four Extremes Realm, and urged her to run away quickly.

This is why Ye Liuyun didn't want to waste her breath arguing with Bei Minghantian; if she didn't run, she would be surrounded.

Bei Ming Hantian was still in a sorry state. Although he dodged most of Ye Liuyun's frontal attacks, he was covered in dust and dirt.

His hair was a mess, and his clothes looked like they had rolled around on the ground several times.

The people of the Beiming family are quite interesting. They don't seem to like looking older than their age. Most of them stay around 20-30 years old and look like their peers.

However, it's not that they like to maintain their youth, but rather that water and ice attribute cultivators have a natural age-preserving effect, making them look much younger than their peers compared to cultivators of other attributes.

"You're too late. That little girl has already run away. She's too vigilant," Bei Ming Hantian said, somewhat annoyed.

This is the first time in nearly three hundred years that he has been in such a sorry state.

"Father, is your opponent really that powerful? This is too exaggerated! He actually forced you to this point." The group looked at the area around them, which had been completely reduced to ruins, and Bei Ming Hantian, who was covered in dust and dirt, with disbelief on their faces.

Most importantly, their father failed to defeat the other party.

"This little girl shouldn't be very old. I think she's at most around a hundred years old. At this age, even that kid Bei Mingxuan wouldn't be a match for her," Bei Ming Hantian sighed.

Who is Bei Mingxuan? He is the eldest son of Bei Ming Chengfeng, the older brother of Bei Ming Piaoxu, and is currently the youngest legitimate eldest son of the Bei Ming family. He is also the eldest cousin of Ye Liuyun and her three older sisters.

Because the Beiming family is located in a sparsely populated area like the Northern Plains, they place great importance on inheritance. Although they do not follow the practices of the Nangong family, their direct descendants usually have multiple concubines.

Aside from the principal wife, who cultivates, the other concubines are generally mortals. If they give birth to offspring with spiritual roots, the Beiming family will help them embark on the path of cultivation.

Even if they don't have spiritual roots, they will still live a long and healthy life, reaching a hundred years old.

Therefore, the status of the direct line of the Beiming family is very stable, and the inheritance of the direct line is very complete.

Judging from the current situation, the direct line of the Dongfang family has the worst succession.

The current lineage of the Beiming family is as follows: starting from the youngest, tracing back through Ye Liuyun's relationship with them, Beiming Xuan (eldest cousin) - Beiming Chengfeng (eldest maternal uncle) - Beiming Bo (maternal grandfather) - Beiming Hantian (maternal great-grandfather).

Leaving aside the older generations, there are at least two generations of direct descendants still alive. Bei Ming Piaoxu's father was Bei Ming Bo, who had three sons and two daughters.

"This? Is it that powerful?" The people from the Beiming family were all stunned for a moment.

"Nonsense! Even I, your old man, have used the divine form that only those at the Divine Soul Realm can use. If I can't do it, what do you think?" Bei Ming Hantian was immediately displeased when he heard his second son question him.

The person he scolded was Bei Mingyuan, the younger brother of Bei Mingbo, a cultivator at the Divine Body Realm.

By the way, breaking through each realm in the Four Extremes Secret Realm is very difficult, and each realm is almost an independent realm, unlike the Dao Palace realm.

Despite having so many powerful abilities to enhance her combat strength, Lin Aoxue could only contend with the peak of the Divine Form Realm at most. When she encountered someone at the Divine Intent Realm, she would be easily defeated.

It can only be said that the higher you go, the more difficult it becomes to challenge someone of a higher level. For other, weaker cultivators, it would be impossible, but for ordinary genius cultivators, being able to cross one or two minor realms is already something to brag about.

"Eh? Father, should we still go after that little girl?" Bei Mingyuan asked awkwardly.

“Nonsense, she went that way. Like I said, this girl isn’t a bad person. I just want the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit on her. Once we find her, try not to use force if possible. Even if we have to use force, don’t take anyone’s life. Just capture her.” Bei Ming Hantian reminded him.

The group glanced in the direction Bei Ming Hantian was pointing.

"Alright, then Father, do you need someone to protect you here?" Bei Mingyuan was just about to take flight when he remembered that his father seemed to be injured.

Bei Ming Hantian took a deep breath and roared at his second son.

"What nonsense are you talking about? If I need something, why don't I just say so? Why do you have so many questions? If I tell you to go, just go already. Stop being so indecisive."

Upon hearing this, Bei Mingyuan gave an embarrassed smile and quickly led his brothers, nephews, and nieces to search for Ye Liuyun's location.

The reason why Bei Ming Han Tian wanted the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit was twofold: firstly, for his own sake, as he had already touched the threshold of the Transformation Realm, while Bei Ming Han Tian only possessed a high-grade ice spirit root.

If I have the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit, which can improve the quality of my spiritual root to another level, then breaking through to the Mystic Transformation Realm will be a sure thing.

He intended to use the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit to refine Spirit Ascension Pills. One Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit could easily produce ten Spirit Ascension Pills. Among his descendants, even those with relatively poor aptitude could obtain them.

In this era, having a single spiritual root is already considered quite good, but for powerful forces like theirs, it's far from enough.

In the cultivation world of the Northern Plains, due to the freezing cold, 50% of cultivators have ice spiritual roots, 30% have wind spiritual roots, and 20% have water spiritual roots. There are basically no spiritual roots of other attributes.

Looking at Ye Liuyun again, she had already run quite far away. Only after confirming that Bei Ming Hantian hadn't caught up did she complain unhappily.

"That cunning old man, he really does get smarter with age. He dragged me along while using kind words to keep me calm, and then secretly called for help. Master, if it weren't for you, I think I would have been tricked," Ye Liuyun complained.

Lin Qingyou smiled.

"Haha, in the eyes of normal people, you're just an old woman, let alone others. Besides, that kid just now really didn't mean you any harm. He probably just wanted the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit you had," Lin Qingyou said.

Ye Liuyun was puzzled. Why would a cultivator at the peak of the Divine Soul Realm want such a medicinal herb? She really didn't know what it was.

"Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit, what is that? Did I pick it from that medicinal field just now? Do I have any on me?" There were many kinds of fruits in that medicinal field, so Ye Liuyun didn't know which kind of fruit it was.

"It's that pear-like fruit you just picked. This fruit is a Yellow-grade rare and precious material. Eating it has a chance to improve the quality of your spiritual root. If you refine it into a Spirit Ascension Pill, even if it's just a low-grade Spirit Ascension Pill, there's still a 30% chance of success," Lin Qingyou explained.

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun quickly took out a golden fruit shaped like a pear from his storage ring.

"Is this it? If it can improve the quality, then this is a treasure! My sister and the others' spiritual roots don't seem to be of high quality. If we could improve their spiritual root quality, that would be perfect," Ye Liuyun said with considerable surprise.

Although she obtained many high-level materials in the Demon Emperor's Tomb, she didn't actually have any medicinal herbs like the Seven Treasures Cleansing Fruit.

“If you want to refine this type of pill, your soul power is not enough. You need to be at least at the True Essence Realm. Of course, if you can get your hands on a rare treasure of heaven and earth that restores soul power at the Emperor level, I can help you again,” Lin Qingyou said.

Lin Qingyou's soul power is really not suitable for helping Ye Liuyun refine pills of Yellow Rank or higher anymore; the consumption is too great, and it cannot be replenished.

"True Yuan Realm? I'm only in the mid-stage of the Innate Realm. It's still a long way off. I'll have to wait several hundred years. Forget it, I might as well find an opportunity, spend some money, and see if there are any alchemists in the Tang Kingdom who can refine pills of this level." Ye Liuyun was immediately deflated.

After examining the fruit in his hand, Ye Liuyun put it away and continued on his way to his destination.

This blessed land not only suppressed everyone's cultivation level, but also suppressed the range of energy diffusion. Not long after Ye Liuyun and Bei Minghantian fought, the area where they fought gradually returned to its original state under the repair of the power of the laws.

Ten minutes later, outside a secluded bamboo grove, Ye Liuyun arrived at the treasure trove that Lin Qingyou had mentioned.

The environment here is very nice and has a special artistic conception. It is surrounded by bamboo, with only one forest path leading into the depths of the bamboo forest.

Compared to the other magnificent palace complexes, this place is too inconspicuous. Those who do not know the secrets of this place will not pay special attention to it.

"This place is so different from other places, Master. Are you sure we're here? I have a feeling something's not right here," Ye Liuyun asked, looking at the forest path in front of him.

"Nonsense, would you hide your treasure in a bright and conspicuous place? Besides, don't be fooled by this ordinary place, it actually holds a hidden secret." Lin Qingyou laughed.

After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun went inside.

Not long after she went inside, more people came in; they were definitely from the Beiming family.

“The lingering scent has completely disappeared here. It seems they must have entered this forest. This forest can actually block our Beiming family’s special tracking technique. It must be extraordinary.” Beiming Yuan observed his surroundings, then raised his hand and struck the bamboo forest with his palm.

His attacks would normally be enough to destroy the bamboo forest, but this time, he couldn't even knock down a single bamboo leaf, let alone destroy the entire forest.

Everyone was stunned when they saw this.

“This? There’s definitely something wrong. Other places are filled with magnificent and glittering buildings, but this place is so low-key. There’s definitely something wrong here. This place might be hiding a great treasure. But why is this little girl so clear about her purpose? Does she know there’s a great treasure here?” Bei Mingyuan muttered, stroking his chin.

“Father, don’t overthink it, let’s go inside,” Bei Mingyuan’s son said.

Bei Mingyuan stroked his chin and then shook his head.

"First, send a message to the clansmen, asking those who can come to gather here. Once most of them have arrived, we will enter," Bei Mingyuan instructed.

He had a feeling that this place definitely contained a great treasure, and if it did, then there would definitely be trouble as well.

Therefore, it's best to be careful. If they trigger any restrictions, it might attract cultivators from other forces. Since they are too few in number, it could be an easy opportunity for others to take advantage of them.

There was no other way; this blessed land suppressed their cultivation to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Even if they were strong before, it would be difficult for them to fight against so many opponents. Therefore, manpower was essential.

Following the message from Bei Mingyuan and others, the cultivators of the Bei Ming family, who were currently scattered throughout the blessed lands and grotto-heavens, all gathered here.

The Beiming family sent nearly 70% of its cultivators this time. However, for safety reasons, some important members of the Beiming family stayed behind in Beiming City. This was to prevent all the cultivators who went out from dying in the secret realm. They had to leave behind some seed.

So far, Xue Mingyu, the owner of this blessed land, has not set up any deadly traps within it, but it won't be easy for them to enter those pavilions.

Each of these attics represents a small heritage, and only the right people can enter; some attics even require competition.

As for the demons, they killed anyone they saw and robbed any rare treasures they found. They destroyed everything else they could, their main purpose being to cause chaos.

Unfortunately, their cultivation levels were suppressed, so they were unable to destroy the buildings and had no choice but to kill people.

They are stronger in combat at the same level, so the human cultivators suffered more casualties, especially those at the Dao Palace level.

Looking at Long Lingyun, who was suppressed by the iceberg outside, after being suppressed for about half an hour, a figure broke out of the iceberg at the top. After she rushed out, the iceberg shattered and collapsed instantly.

"Damn it, you stinky fox." After breaking Bai Bing's seal, Long Lingyun immediately flew to the blessed land. Bai Bing had disgusted her, and she wouldn't let it go so easily.

Meanwhile, at the beckoning of Bei Mingyuan, family members from the Bei Ming family continued to gather.

Some of the demons who were originally pursuing the cultivators of the Beiming family turned around and left immediately after seeing a large number of human cultivators ahead. They were not idiots; with so many people ahead, going up would surely mean certain death.

"Strange, these must be people from the Beiming family. Why have they all gathered in this inconspicuous place? Have they discovered something?"

The Beiming family's troop deployment has certainly attracted the attention of other forces, but they dare not compete with the Beiming family for their possessions. Even the Northern Holy Spirit Sect would not openly confront the Beiming family.

The Beiming family's strength is only that of a medium-to-large sect, but they have powerful backers in the Nine Heavens Holy Land.

"Kid, what have you discovered? Why did you suddenly call the whole family over?" Bei Ming Hantian also rushed over.

Just as Bei Mingyuan was about to say something, several more figures descended from the sky. This time, they were the Nascent Soul cultivators from the Bei Ming family.

"Clan leader, two supreme elders." Everyone quickly bowed.

"Hmm, Yuan'er, what did you discover? Why did you call us over in such a hurry? If it wasn't some great opportunity, our Beiming family would be at a huge loss." Beiming Luo and the others nodded and then spoke.

"Father, Grandpa, look at this bamboo grove, is there a problem?" Bei Mingyuan asked, pointing to the bamboo grove.

The three Nascent Soul cultivators glanced at the bamboo forest. The strongest one, an ancestor at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul realm, observed it carefully and then attacked the bamboo forest, but it still had no effect.

This place is different from other places. In other places, they can be broken, but they can quickly recover. But this place is completely unshakable.

“As expected, there is a problem. Father, Second Grandfather, I would like to trouble you two to lead a portion of the Lin family’s cultivators to surround and seal off this place. This place now belongs to our Bei Ming family.” Bei Mingluo said, bowing to his two elders.

In the four great families, the clan head holds the most power, while the family patriarch holds less power. This means that the family patriarch cannot make decisions on major matters, but can decide on minor matters without consulting the elders.

Even retired ancestors must obey the clan leader's orders. This clan, which is half secular and half immortal, values ​​rules the most.

"Well, that's fine too." The two patriarchs of the Beiming family had no objections.

Because they are already quite old, certain traditions and such are not of much use to them; it is most appropriate to leave them to the younger generation.

Then Bei Mingluo ordered the collateral lineage cultivators of the Bei Ming family to defend the surrounding area and drive away the demons and other forces' cultivators who approached the area. Once everything was ready, they prepared to enter Zhunlin.

Chapter 466 Formidable Enemy Bei Mingxuan

With everything in place, the core members of the Beiming family began preparing to enter.

No one knows what dangers this place holds, so who is willing to go in and be the first to go is the question.

Bei Mingluo glanced at everyone and then asked.

"Who among you is willing to be the vanguard?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone hesitated. Going in was nothing, but being the first to go in would be a real test of everyone's mentality.

However, the Beiming family also has top geniuses, so after Beiming Luo spoke, a somewhat cold and sharp male voice came from the crowd.

Upon hearing the voice, the others quickly made way, and then a strikingly handsome man in white walked leisurely to the front of the group.

This young man was tall and slender with silver hair. He possessed a beauty that transcended gender, with an icy demeanor and a face as white as jade and as white as snow. He resembled a plum blossom blooming in winter, peerless and independent.

However beautiful this person may be, he is indeed a man.

He is Bei Mingxuan, the most outstanding descendant of the Bei Ming family in the present day. He also possesses a rare ice-attribute physique, the Ice Soul Divine Body.

Most men with ice-attribute spiritual roots and water-attribute spiritual roots are generally very handsome, because ice and water attributes belong to the yin attribute domain in the yin and yang domains.

Men are considered Yang. If their spiritual roots lean towards Yin and they cultivate Yin-type techniques for a long time, their appearance will naturally be more feminine. Not to mention that Bei Mingxuan also possesses an extremely cold Yin constitution and the Ice Soul Divine Body.

Of course, this doesn't mean he looks like a woman. For example, Bei Mingxuan is very handsome, but you would hardly think he looks like a woman; you would only think he looks like a snow fairy.

"As expected of the most outstanding disciple in the family for ten thousand years, his Dao heart is firm and he is fearless of any danger." The other members of the Beiming family praised Beiming Xuan as he stepped forward.

When Bei Mingxuan appeared, everyone else's limelight was overshadowed.

“Grandfather, great-grandfather, your grandson is willing to be the first to enter,” Bei Mingxuan said calmly to the two of them.
