Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Qi Bai looked at Han Yu with interest, quietly waiting for his response.

What those old ghosts said wasn’t wrong. Forcing my way through with a secret technique a decade ago had indeed caused severe Dao injuries, especially in recent years, as my condition worsens.

It’s laughable to say that having transcended the shackles of ordinary humans, this body still succumbs to ailments like a mortal.

Weren’t those old ghosts the same, seemingly divine in the eyes of mortals, yet having to watch themselves slowly age and die?

If the pills in Han Yu’s hands were truly so miraculous, there’s no way he would let go of them.

”Can’t give.”

Cousin’s face changed, hastily whispering a reminder at the side.

He knew Han Yu’s ways all too well; this guy has always been reckless.

Back then, Tu Xingsun, an evil cultivator, was forcefully fed medicine by him. Even though the side effects were outrageous, the benefits were genuine.

If he could give it to Tu Xingsun then, he could do the same for Qi Bai today.

But today is different.

An evil path Transcendent Realm cultivator matters greatly to the righteous path. If he helps the other in full view of everyone, his reputation would be ruined thereafter.

Fearing Han Yu didn’t know the other’s identity, Cousin also whispered from the side.

”Qi Bai is the Sect Leader of the Valley of Forgetfulness, the evil path. If you give him the pills, you’ll be drowned in spit.”

Qi Bai naturally overheard the whispering but did not get angry. Instead, he laughed loudly.

”Indeed, I am an evil cultivator amid the righteous path’s insults, virtually a demon in the eyes of lower cultivators.”

He actually took pride in it instead of feeling ashamed.

”Shameless!”

The Great Elder was extremely furious, shouting angrily.

Qi Bai remained unmoved, instead looking at the people around with a mocking expression.

What’s the difference between the righteous path and the evil path?

One is hypocritical, the other cunning; it’s all the same.

”You self-proclaimed righteous people surround a lone pharmacist with great fanfare; aren’t you here to protect them?”

With that, he laughed even more.

”And you Nine Sects, always aloof, yet don’t constrain your so-called righteous path, leaving it unchecked.”

After saying his piece, the nine elders’ faces turned extremely sour.

”Qi Bai, the Nine Sects aren’t for you to criticize.”

An elder from Nanli Sword Studio couldn’t help but scold.

The crowd below caused an uproar, naturally dissatisfied with Qi Bai’s remarks.

Yet they dared not refute him.

Normally, these sects might flaunt their power, but today, facing an actual Transcendent Realm cultivator above wasn’t the same.

Most crucially, Qi Bai was capable of killing! And dared to kill!

”Why waste words with him? I’ve disliked him for a long time.”

The Great Elder could no longer hold back. After angrily shouting, his silhouette suddenly vanished and reappeared in front of Qi Bai.

Two flows of spiritual power burst out from each, clashing violently, causing the void to visibly distort.

In an instant, a storm arose outside Dongling City.

”Kill!”

”Kill!”

Both moved simultaneously, vanishing from their spots.

A sudden thunderclap sounded from the nine heavens, and raising their eyes, the two had already entangled in a fight.

The Great Elder wielded both blade and sword, each shining with multicolored light, cleaving towards Qi Bai’s head once released.

Qi Bai retreated a few steps, and a blood-colored banner flew from his sleeve, rapidly growing to reach a hundred feet.

”Go!”

With an imperial decree, the banner autonomously met the oncoming blade and sword.

”Let me see if you’ve made any progress over the years.”

The Great Elder sneered, gathering spiritual power which formed a mountain’s shadow, fiercely smashing downwards.

”Mere lip service.”

Qi Bai scoffed, quickly condensing spiritual power into a massive axe, cleaving at the mountain shadow.

In an instant, the earth shattered and rumbled, the deafening sound echoing.

Even the ground appeared affected, trembling incessantly.

”You’re old and fear death more.”

Qi Bai quickly formed hand seals, mocking while setting up a battle array, countless flag shadows standing behind, erupting with intense killing intent.

”That’s still better than being a consumptive who won’t live long.”

The Great Elder slammed his chest, breathing out a breath that transformed into a sword pill.

The sword pill exploded violently, instantly turning into countless sword shadows.

As the two engaged in a deadly confrontation, the world changed colors.

The crowd’s head darkened instantly, as an overwhelming real killing intent obscured the heavens.

Sword shadows filled the sky, overwhelming everything.

Dark clouds enveloped the entire sky over Dongling City, with lightning and thunder echoing across the clouds.

With frequent explosions resounding.

This persisted for a quarter of an hour, and once the clouds and fog cleared, the fiery sun reappeared.

The two figures were already absent in the nine heavens.

Moments later, two slightly panting figures returned to the city wall.

The Great Elder appeared slightly disheveled, while Qi Bai, aside from being pale, seemed to have the upper hand instead.

”You’re afraid to die now, not daring to exert full strength nor risk exhausting life’s essence.”

Qi Bai laughed long and hard, glancing at the group of old ghosts, ”You’re truly old.”

As a rising star, his equal battle wasn’t due to superior cultivation.

It was because these old ghosts dared not exhaust their bodies, fearing death.

Having understood this, Qi Bai grew even happier.

So long as these old ones didn’t dare fight with all their might, what was there to fear?

In his words, there was reckless abandon.

”Shall I take a turn with you?”

Langya Mountain’s elder stepped forth, eyes wide with anger.

”No need. As long as you don’t hinder me today, I won’t hinder you.”

Qi Bai casually laughed.

”Young brother, can you give me the pills? I can protect you in Dongling City, even if you take them now.”

”They’re just pills, satisfy my two conditions, and naturally, I’ll give them to you.”

Han Yu suddenly spoke, shattering the silence and causing an uproar.

Is he really going to give them?

”Are you crazy!”

Cousin’s expression changed.

Just as he was about to stop him, Han Yu suddenly vanished, reappearing before Qi Bai.

A pill rested on his hand, and he pushed it forward.

Qi Bai was initially stunned, then rejoiced, about to reach out when Han Yu interrupted.

”You’re aware of the pill’s side effects?”

As long as it wasn’t harming him directly, he never hesitated to reveal side effects.

”Doing good, right! This living Buddha act is easy for a year.”

Qi Bai laughed dismissively.

If it were that simple, this Pill wouldn’t be so powerful.

Han Yu smiled wryly and said, ”Don’t regret it, there’s no antidote.”

In the next instant, Qi Bai swiftly made his move, impatient to get the Pill in his hands.

Then, under the eyes of everyone, he swallowed it in one gulp.

The expressions of the nine Elders turned somewhat unpleasant, as this Pill was given away so easily.

And it was given to someone from the Evil Path.

”Mr. Han, by acting this way, how will you establish yourself in the Righteous Path?”

Someone couldn’t help but voice their doubts.

They didn’t dare to trouble Qi Bai, but they dared to trouble Han Yu.

It’s known that many rumors can destroy a person’s reputation.

But most people underestimated Han Yu.

Righteous Path? Evil Path?

To be honest, quite a few Evil Cultivators have taken his Pills.

”Establish myself?”

Han Yu grinned and retorted.

”Which Sect are you from?”

The cultivator appeared to be at the Great Perfection of the Divine Gaze Realm and seemed to have some sway, with three or five cultivators behind him.

”I am the Sect Leader of the Divine Tao Sect, Liang Hailong.”

The other party announced loudly, arms crossed.

Yesterday the Sect tried to seize his land by force?

Han Yu’s impression of him instantly worsened; with such Elders, that Sect couldn’t be much better.

”Sect Leader Liang is right, you denied the Righteous Path yet gave it to the Evil Path, how will you establish yourself in the future?”

Cultivators are human too, and humans have innately flawed nature, the emergence of one will lead to more followers.

”You all are truly amusing, do I need your approval on who I give my things to.”

Rather than anger, Han Yu laughed, and suddenly a white flame burst out of his body, forming a White Lotus above everyone’s heads.

A wave of uneasiness rose in the hearts of these people, changing their expressions.

Each quickly retreated, none daring to remain under the Fire Lotus.

”If you don’t eat it, get lost!”

The Fire Lotus suddenly bloomed, spreading a sea of fire, looking as if it could descend at any moment.

The firelight reflected Han Yu’s face as he sneered and spoke.

The person questioning him moments ago immediately fell silent.

”Brilliant, when dealing with these Righteous Path cultivators, you have to show some power; as long as you’re strong enough, these people are actually more docile than dogs. Little brother truly understands the greater truths of the Dao, your future is boundless!”

It was Qi Bai clapping and laughing on the side; at this moment, he felt an unprecedented relief, as though a thousand-pound burden had been lifted, his body had never felt so good.

”Don’t offend others too harshly.”

The cousin advised from the side.

Qi Bai shook his head, chuckling disdainfully.

”Little guy, you don’t understand this group from the Righteous Path; if you’re not a little ruthless, they’ll push their limits. Just look now, aren’t they all quite obedient?”

”Bring the Pill.”

Now, only one Pill was left, and the Great Elder grew anxious.

Damn, losing this one is absolutely unacceptable.

”If your elder is willing to take it now, then I’ll give it to you first.”

Unmoved, Han Yu shifted his gaze to the cousin.

Nine people and only one Pill, he would inevitably offend the other eight.

No matter what, offending others, giving it to the Mo Family was better than others.

”Uncle Ancestor?”

The cousin quickly looked up at the family elder, whose expression hesitated.

The Pill was indeed desirable, and the other party was willing to give it, but he didn’t want to consume it so soon!

”Since no one else is willing, you come.”

Han Yu suddenly pointed to the elderly Great Perfection cultivator.

The old cultivator was overjoyed and wanted to come over.

”Wait!”

The Great Elder suddenly snorted coldly, his face tensing.

He suddenly declared, ”I’m willing to take it now!”

”Are you crazy!”

The Elder of Qinglan Sect exclaimed in disbelief.

Naturally, he wasn’t crazy, but the promise of an extra sixty years of life was irresistible.

”Do you know the side effects?”

As Han Yu took out the Pill, he repeated it once more.

One death calamity daily, to put it bluntly.

You may be lively today, but gone tomorrow.

This was the reason everyone hesitated.

”Hurry while I can still take it.”

The Great Elder urged repeatedly and then reached out his hand.

When the Pill landed in his palm, it was clearly just a small Pill, yet it felt heavy.

He glanced around, and for a moment, he truly considered running away with the Pill.

”Damn it, can’t lose face like this.”

After gritting his teeth, the Great Elder swallowed it whole.

A mysterious sensation spread throughout his body from his internal organs in a brief moment, he suddenly felt his entire body rejuvenate...

The group was astonished as they looked at him.

”Is there something wrong?”

The Great Elder asked, feeling uncomfortable under their gaze.

”Why didn’t you mention that besides extending life, it could rejuvenate the body?”

It was an old man from Piaomiao City who spoke through gritted teeth.

The Great Elder no longer appeared aged, his once slightly gaunt body seemed infused with vitality.

Once a frail old man, now a hale and hearty middle-aged figure.

Even Han Yu was taken aback; he didn’t expect the Mayfly Pill to have such hidden effects.

Ah yes, the mayfly lives for a day, so...

Suddenly thinking of something, Han Yu looked up at the sky, and his expression grew peculiar.

I knew none of Ping’s Pill words were wasted, I wonder if this Elder can handle it.

The Great Elder, transforming through spiritual power, was overjoyed.

The surrounding Elders were dumbfounded and already filled with regret.

Before the Pill was consumed, no one wanted it.

But once lost, each felt a deep sense of regret.

”That’s all for today, those who dare to consume Pills are welcome to come back tomorrow.”

Han Yu patted his behind and suddenly leaped off the city wall; as he landed, he disappeared into the ground like a fish entering water...
