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

The guards nodded and followed him out, keeping a safe distance behind Ye Liuyun.

Chapter 912 The Plague God Refines Medicine (5K)

Ye Liuyun noticed these people as soon as they came out. After all, she knew that Zhou Bao might have some ulterior motives towards her, so she would definitely keep an eye on those behind her.

"Tch! Did they run into a shady dealer? Are they planning to snatch back the goods they sold? Sending just a few weaklings is underestimating me. Have they forgotten that the Earth Immortal-level magic weapon is in my hands?" Ye Liuyun muttered to himself as he walked.

Ye Liuyun, with her personality, wouldn't just sit idly by and wait for someone to attack her.

Having bought everything she needed, she was now heading out of the city to find a place to try synthesizing elixirs from the Immortal Realm, so she left Luofan City.

"Leaving Luofan City? No way, are they leaving Luofan? That won't do." One of the followers quickly took out some kind of celestial communication artifact to contact Zhou Bao.

Upon learning that Ye Liuyun had left Luofanchen, Zhou Bao immediately went to a quiet pavilion in the Qianling Chamber of Commerce.

Upon arriving at this place, Zhou Bao cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards the pavilion.

"Master Yuan, I need your help with something," Zhou Bao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the pavilion door opened, and a middle-aged Earth Immortal flew out of the pavilion and landed next to Zhou Bao.

"What is it?" the man asked.

"Someone bought a high-grade Earth Immortal level magic treasure from our Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild. It's from a very beautiful woman who recently ascended to the Immortal Realm. She seems to have some secrets. Go and retrieve our Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild's treasure, and while you're at it, bring her back quietly as well, preferably alive," Zhou Bao instructed.

Upon hearing this, Yuan Gongfeng revealed a mocking expression on his face.

"Heh! You guys really know how to do business. You sell things and then take them back. Where's the location?" Yuan Gongfeng said sarcastically, then asked about Ye Liuyun's location.

Zhou Bao was not angry because of the other party's bad attitude. Instead, he handed the person a communication magic item.

“My men followed that woman out of the city. After you leave the city, just use this to contact my men,” Zhou Bao said.

Yuan Gongfeng took the communication magic item and prepared to leave, but after taking a few steps, he remembered something else.

"Wait, didn't she say she bought a high-grade Earth Immortal level magic weapon? With my cultivation level, I can't withstand the attack of this magic weapon. Are you sending me there to my death?" Yuan Gongfeng asked with dissatisfaction.

Bao immediately chuckled this week.

"Don't worry, what skills could a little girl who just ascended to the Immortal Realm possibly have? Besides, how could she possibly know how to use the magical treasures of the Immortal Realm?" Zhou Bao said.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Gongfeng didn't waste any more words and left the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild directly.

This person was a cultivator who had mastered a mid-grade Earth Immortal Technique, while Ye Liuyun, in Zhou Bao's perception, was at most a newly ascended Divine Being who had only recently awakened the power within his body. With such limited strength, he originally felt there was no need for the Venerable to intervene, but just to be on the safe side, he decided to have Venerable Yuan make the trip.

Looking at Ye Liuyun, as soon as he arrived outside the city, he summoned Liusu, made her reveal her true form, and dragged her away into the distance.

The tassel did not reveal the true form of the phoenix, but instead used its original form to avoid being coveted.

"A flying mount? This woman is really rich," one of the trackers remarked.

Even if a cultivator at the level of a deity in the Immortal Realm awakens their power, they cannot fly on their own and need to rely on magical treasures. Only when they reach the Earth Immortal Realm can they fly.

However, Ye Liuyun did not fly very fast, so even if they tracked him on the ground, they could still roughly determine his location.

Ye Liuyun didn't fly too far. Instead, she landed in a desolate mountain ten thousand meters away from Luo Fanchen. After landing, she used the Earth Travel Pill and entered the mountain to find a suitable place to refine medicine.

Finally, a cave was discovered inside the mountain.

"This is it." Ye Liuyun raised his hand and took out the glass furnace. As soon as the furnace came out, it was filled with glassy brilliance, which illuminated the entire cave.

"Not bad, no need for lighting anymore. Ah, alchemy, alchemy, I hope it will give me some surprises." Ye Liuyun took out all the medicinal materials he had bought. The medicinal materials in the Immortal Realm were all new, so there was no need to think about how to combine them. He could start by fusing the divine-level medicinal materials.

However, Ye Liuyun was unsure whether her pill synthesis method was useful in the Immortal Realm. If it wasn't, then she would have suffered a huge loss by selling hundreds of thousands of pills, because if they couldn't be regenerated, then those pills would be rare and limited editions, and once they were used up, there would be one less left.

"Master, please bless your disciple." Ye Liuyun took a deep breath and silently prayed in his heart. Then he suddenly raised his hand and released a blue wood attribute power towards the medicine furnace.

If Lin Qingyou heard this, she would definitely complain, "I'm not dead yet, so all you can do is ask me to bless you?"

As the wood-attribute power entered the medicine furnace, Ye Liuyun waited for a long time, but the furnace did not react at all, which embarrassed him.

"Huh? No way, is the method of condensing alchemical fire in the lower realm different from that in the upper realm? Or is there something wrong with this furnace?" Ye Liuyun quickly withdrew his power and began to inspect the furnace.

Unfortunately, after examining the stove for a long time, they couldn't find anything unusual about it.

"Or is it that I haven't yet mastered the correct method for manipulating the power of the immortal realm?"

"No, no, all methods are based on the same principle. No matter how different they are, they shouldn't be worlds apart, right? Do I have to use soul power?" After thinking for a while, Ye Liuyun closed his eyes and poured his soul power into the furnace.

At first, she didn't feel anything, but as more and more soul power was injected, soon a ball of emerald green flame lit up in the darkness. The appearance of this flame made Ye Liuyun seem to sense something, and she suddenly opened her eyes, and the furnace also caught fire.

"As expected, I still need to use soul power. I need to find a way to make this thing recognize me as its master first," Ye Liuyun murmured, looking at the Glazed Flame.

After the flames started burning, Ye Liuyun discovered that the method of manipulating the flames was not much different from that in the lower realm; it still relied on mental power to control them.

Her soul strength far surpassed that of ordinary cultivators. She did not immediately begin refining the medicine, but instead used her mental power to control the flames. Only after confirming that she could easily control the flames did she begin refining the medicine.

Normal alchemy requires a formula, but what she did was definitely not normal alchemy, so naturally she didn't need one.

Ye Liuyun casually picked up two medicinal herbs and threw them into the furnace, then began to smelt and purify them. Everything went smoothly, except that the process was incredibly slow, much slower than in the lower realm.

"It's going smoothly, but it's too slow. How long will it take to synthesize a whole batch? Is the heat not enough?" After thinking for a moment, Ye Liuyun slightly increased the flame power in the furnace.

As the flames inside the furnace grew stronger, the speed at which the medicinal herbs were melted also increased. However, at the same time, Ye Liuyun's soul power was also being consumed more quickly.

Looking outside, the trackers, after confirming the area where Ye Liuyun had stopped, immediately contacted the Yuan Gongfeng.

About ten minutes later, a figure flew in from the horizon, landing above the area where the followers of the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild were, and finally descended.

"Where is he?" Yuan Gongfeng asked expressionlessly.

A guard quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said.

"My lord, this woman has entered this desolate mountain and we don't know what she's doing. Since she has a flying mount, we can't determine her exact location."

Yuan Gongfeng narrowed his eyes, then flew up again, arriving above the desolate mountain. At the same time, he released his divine sense to search. The desolate mountain was not large, and if the target was indeed inside the mountain, he would definitely be able to find it.

"Huh? Nobody here? Could he be hiding inside the mountain?" Yuan Gongfeng intensified his divine sense probing again, his divine sense penetrating deep into the mountain crevices like silk threads. With this move, he quickly spotted Ye Liuyun refining medicine.

Ye Liuyun was also the first to realize that he was being watched.

She quickly looked up and saw a middle-aged man hovering atop the desolate mountain.

"Such strong soul power? How could it detect me?" Yuan Gongfeng was somewhat surprised to see that Ye Liuyun had discovered him.

Ye Liuyun immediately frowned, because the person in front of her gave her a sense of pressure. Clearly, the other party's strength was much greater than hers at this moment.

"As expected of those shady merchants, they've already sent powerful figures to cause trouble so quickly. Tch, the Thousand Spirits Merchant Guild, is it? You just wait, once I've dealt with this problem, you'll be in for a world of hurt," Ye Liuyun scoffed.

After finding Ye Liuyun, Yuan Gongfeng was curious about how Ye Liuyun had entered the mountain. He knew that the matter in the Immortal Realm was much harder than that in the lower realm. With Ye Liuyun's cultivation at the Divine Realm level, it was impossible for him to break through the mountain in the Immortal Realm. Even for him, it would probably take some effort to get Ye Liuyun out of there.

“Girl, don’t hide anymore, come out. Although I don’t want to do this kind of banditry, I have no choice but to do it because I’m forced to by survival and I’m being paid. I don’t want to hurt you, so why don’t you come out and hand over everything you have and all your secrets? Maybe I can spare your life.” The Yuan Gongfeng said through telepathy.

Ye Liuyun frowned. She didn't have time to deal with this guy right now, because she was about to reach the core fusion stage and couldn't afford to fail at the last minute.

Seeing that Ye Liuyun was still unable to refine the medicine, Yuan Gongfeng had no other choice.

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to offend you." The Yuan Gongfeng raised her hand, and a celestial sword flew out from her body. This was her original magic weapon, the Heaven-Splitting Sword.

Immortal cultivators can refine their own primordial magic treasures starting from the Earth Immortal realm. The power of these primordial magic treasures increases as the cultivator's realm advances.

"Go." Yuan Gongfeng waved his hand, and the Heaven-Splitting Sword immediately shone with golden light, shooting towards the mountain where Ye Liuyun was. After hitting the mountain, the sword began to spin rapidly, slowly drilling towards Ye Liuyun's location like a drill.

Ye Liuyun naturally noticed the opponent's attack approaching her, so she could only increase her strength again to accelerate the fusion of the pills.

The opponent's magic weapon was less than 100 meters away from her. At this speed, it would take at most three minutes to break through the barrier between the outside world and this place.

Ye Liuyun felt a sense of urgency for the first time. The two steps of smelting were completed quickly, and the opponent's magic weapon was less than thirty meters away from her.

"Please, Master, bless your disciple." Ye Liuyun decisively fused the pills together.

As the elixirs fused and the final product processing began, a sudden clap of thunder sounded inexplicably in the previously clear sky outside.

"Boom!"

The sudden clap of thunder startled Yuan Gongfeng. He instinctively stopped his attack and looked up at the sky. As he looked up, he saw a large patch of thunderclouds gathering from all directions, which enveloped the barren mountain.

"What's going on? How did such a large thundercloud suddenly gather?" Yuan Gongfeng wondered.

But just as he was wondering, a bolt of lightning suddenly descended from the sky and struck Yuan Gongfeng with perfect accuracy.

"what?"

Yuan Gongfeng was terrified and tried to dodge, but the lightning seemed to have a life of its own, locking onto Yuan Gongfeng and forcing him to unleash his power to attack the heavenly lightning with his magic weapon.

However, he underestimated the power of the lightning, and the lightning struck him into the ground on the spot.

"Bang!" Yuan Gongfeng crashed heavily to the ground, but the blow did nothing to him, only leaving him somewhat disheveled.

"What the hell is going on with Heaven? Why is it suddenly attacking me with lightning? What did I do that went against the will of Heaven?" Yuan Gongfeng couldn't understand.

However, he immediately discovered that things were not like that, because another bolt of lightning had struck into the mountain and hit Ye Liuyun's alchemy furnace.

"Huh? What's going on? It's definitely attracted thunderclouds, but why is the lightning attacking the pills this time?" Ye Liuyun muttered, squinting at the pills in the furnace.

The lightning attack accelerated the pill's formation process.

"Damn it, could it be that this woman attracted the heavenly lightning? What level of pills is she refining that would attract a heavenly tribulation? And if I didn't attract the heavenly lightning, why did it attack me?" Yuan Gongfeng was very confused.

Just as he got up from the ground, another bolt of lightning struck his location.

This wasn't lightning, it was practically a lightning serpent! Yuan Gongfeng turned and ran. He had already experienced the power of this lightning. Although it wasn't enough to kill him, if he were hit, he would definitely suffer serious injuries.

On the other side, at Ye Liuyun's place, lightning was still refining the pill. This time, Ye Liuyun only managed to refine one pill, which was unusual for her, so she couldn't refine ten at once.

After being peeled about nine times, the pill finally took shape and rolled out of the furnace's outlet.

"Just one? What's going on? One isn't enough!" Ye Liuyun said with dissatisfaction, picking up the pill and glancing at it. The luster emitted by this pill was completely different from that of pills from the lower realm.

Ye Liuyun glanced at the medicinal materials she had chosen. This pill was made from Immortal Lotus Grass and Yuanling Flower. As for its effects, Ye Liuyun would have to taste it to find out. She put the pill in her mouth and soon the effects of the pill appeared in her mind.

"Immortal Essence Pill: The first use can enable cultivators in the Immortal Realm who have not yet opened their Immortal Meridians to open them and gain the ability to communicate with heaven and earth and absorb immortal energy into their bodies. After the first use, this pill can accelerate the speed at which cultivators absorb immortal energy. The specific effects need to be experienced by the user themselves."

After seeing the effects of the pill, Ye Liuyun was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

"Hahaha... This is truly a blessing from heaven! I casually synthesized such a heaven-defying pill. With this pill in hand, how can I worry about rebuilding the Immortal Realm?" Ye Liuyun was extremely excited as he held the pill that was filled with immortal light.

Such elixirs that allow one to follow the path of immortal cultivation without needing any specific techniques do not exist in the immortal realm, and even if they did, ordinary cultivators could not afford them.

Looking at the Yuan Gongfeng outside, although Ye Liuyun's pills were successfully synthesized, the dark cloud in the sky seemed to have attached itself to the Yuan Gongfeng. Wherever the Yuan Gongfeng went, the thundercloud followed.

Lei Yun, like a playful child, kept unleashing thunderbolts to attack Yuan Gongfeng.

The Yuan Gongfeng fled in panic, even running to the place where the guards were located outside the desolate mountains.

The guards seemed quite confused by the thunder around them.

"Strange, what's that dark cloud doing here? Why is it drifting towards us?" someone asked.

The other guards were also confused until they saw a figure running towards them in a disheveled state, at which point they realized something was wrong.

"Hey, it's Yuan Gongfeng. What's wrong with Yuan Gongfeng?" one of the guards asked, puzzled.

Just as they were wondering, the Yuan Offering flashed past them at an extremely fast speed.

The guards quickly looked behind them, only to find that Yuan Gongfeng had already disappeared without a trace.

"Wow, that was fast!" the group exclaimed in disbelief.

Just then, a bolt of lightning streaked across the direction from which Yuan Gongfeng had fled. As everyone felt a force rushing toward them, they quickly looked ahead, and what they saw made the guards' faces turn green.

"Holy crap!" The group tried to dodge, but unfortunately, lightning passed right through their location, and the power of the heavenly thunder enveloped them in an instant.

"Ah..." The group screamed as they were electrocuted, and finally collapsed to the ground, their bodies shrouded in blue smoke.

As for the Yuan Gongfeng, she stood at a distance and watched as the lightning struck those people, then stopped chasing him, thinking it was over.

"Phew... What a bizarre lightning! So this lightning only stops when it hits someone. Damn it, what kind of heavenly lightning is this? Is it not giving us a way out?" Yuan Gongfeng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and complained.

As he spoke, Yuan Gongfeng flew up again, wanting to check the situation on the other side of the desolate mountain. His location was too far from where Ye Liuyun was, and his divine sense couldn't reach him.

But just as Yuan Gongfeng flew out of the forest, he heard another thunderous boom in his ear. This time, he was careless.

"How could this be?" Upon hearing the thunder, Yuan Gongfeng immediately looked up.

But all he could see at that moment was a flash of lightning, which meant that the heavenly lightning was already in front of him, and he couldn't dodge it or defend himself in time.

"boom!"

"what……"

A scream was heard, followed by a figure completely black falling from the sky and landing in the forest. Its eyes were white, and it was exhaling blue smoke. It was unclear whether it was dead or alive.
