159: Chapter 159 The King of Alchemy

"Hmph? Gold and silver treasures? We don't need those. We only want your beauty; we just want to spend a wonderful night with you!"

Having managed the menial laborers all these years, the lecherous middle-aged man had long enjoyed wealth and glory. The only thing he had never touched was a female immortal who had cultivated. With his long-held wish about to be fulfilled, how could he be willing to give up? He stretched out his wrinkled hand and reached toward the girl in blue.

"Hmm? Is it right here?"

Just then, above the Wu Family, Ye Xuan had already scanned the dungeon where Wang Mengqi was being held with his powerful divine sense. His eyes narrowed as he saw her predicament: "Courting death. Two ants dare to do such a thing?"

His figure instantly appeared inside the dungeon. A sword shadow flashed, and in an instant, it severed the lecherous middle-aged man's evil hands.

"Argh..." A scream erupted from the lecherous middle-aged man's mouth.

"You have some nerve, actually daring to do such a shameless thing!"

Ye Xuan hadn't expected that right under his nose, there would be such rebellious scoundrels. His powerful aura instantly pressed the two of them flat onto the ground.

Because Erhu's strength was weaker—only at the first level of the True Profound Realm—he was crushed to death on the spot.

The other lecherous middle-aged man was also shaken by this aura and was still struggling on the ground. This person also caught Ye Xuan's attention.

[Name: Wu Ergou]

[Realm: True Profound Realm, 7th Layer]

[Constitution: Devouring Spirit Body (Purple), Heavenly Demon Body (Purple)]

[Luck: A Single Thought of Error (Black), Continuous Good Luck (Blue)]

[Destiny: "life modification without regret" (Supporting Role), "Rebirth of the Alchemy Emperor" (Supporting Role)]

[Favorability: 25]

[Life Destiny: A Wu Family menial laborer, 6th Layer True Profound Realm cultivation, in charge of the Wu Family menial warehouse.]

[An incense stick of time ago, the core personnel of the Wu Family were wiped out. Taking advantage of the chaos, he snuck into the Wu Family's Pill Storage Pavilion and stole the Grade 3 Nine-Turn Body Refining Pill that Patriarch Wu Meng had prepared for Young Master Wu Fengnian.]

[Half an incense stick of time ago, he snuck into the Wu Family's secret chamber and discovered a high-quality jade piece on the Wu Family's ancestral shrine. The aura emanating from it made him feel very comfortable, so he took it and stored it in his spirit ring.]

[In the future, he will obtain an Emperor-grade cultivation technique of the demon race from the jade piece — "Heavenly Demon Spirit Refining Art".]

[Just now, he developed lustful thoughts toward Wang Mengqi in the secret chamber and wanted to commit an indecent act against her, but was discovered and stopped in time by Ye Xuan.]

[If he is not killed by Ye Xuan, he will head to the Southern Wilderness Region, and in a thousand years, he will become a pillar of the demon race!]

"Heh, so he has a half-human, half-demon bloodline, this guy."

After reading this, Ye Xuan was slightly surprised. If one couldn't see through the destiny of others, no one would have imagined that a mere menial servant could eventually soar into the sky and become a pillar of the demon race.

"Heh, he barely counts as a minor protagonist. His favorability is only twenty-five; it's better to kill him later to avoid adding another great enemy to the human race in the future."

"Are you here to save me?" A crisp and pleasant voice came from Wang Mengqi, who was tied to a pillar.

Ye Xuan then turned his head, looked at her, and asked with a chuckle: "Otherwise?"

After sizing up Wang Mengqi, this woman who seemed like a female lead, sure enough, the next life destiny information was transmitted.

[Name: Wang Mengqi]

[Realm: Spirit Profound Realm, 8th Layer]

[Constitution: Medicine Spirit Divine Body (Gold)]

[Luck: Turning Danger into Safety (Purple), Gentle and Virtuous (Purple), Future Alchemy Emperor (Gold), Fated (Gold)]

[Destiny: "life modification without regret" (Supporting Role), "Rebirth of the Alchemy Emperor" (Supporting Role)]

[Life Destiny: Born into the Wang Family of Yan City in the Northwest Great Territory, with unparalleled talent in alchemy.]

[Broke through to the True Profound Realm at fourteen, broke through to the Spirit Profound Realm at sixteen, and became a Grade 3 Alchemist in the same year, only one step away from becoming a Grade 4 Alchemist.]

[Ten days ago, because her grandfather wanted to know if the mentally deficient Jun Ze could be cured, he had her refine a furnace of Grade 4 Soul-Suppressing Pills.]

[Because she lacked medicinal ingredients, she personally went to the Monster Mountain Range to search for suitable ones, but accidentally got abducted by the Wu Family. Patriarch Wu Meng placed a seal on her, rendering her unable to use her cultivation, and imprisoned her in the secret chamber.]

[Just now, without any harm, she was rescued from Erhu and Wu Ergou by the Fate Cultivator Ye Xuan.]

"This woman's luck is truly powerful. A golden Alchemy Divine Body? She is truly worthy of being a female lead!"

Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, then carefully observed the gentle woman in front of him who was wearing a blue glazed dress.

"Hmph, can't you walk anymore once you see a pretty girl? Is this lady not as good-looking as this woman?"

Murong Liyue, who had caught up from behind, was instantly furious and kicked Ye Xuan's calf hard: "You hateful Pretty Boy!"

"Thank you, Young Master, for saving me. But how would my grandfather know someone like you, who is as ethereal as an immortal?"

Wang Mengqi could see Ye Xuan's appearance clearly now and couldn't help but sigh. Among her peers, from childhood to now, this was the first time she had seen a man as good-looking as Ye Xuan.

Feeling his left leg being kicked by Murong Liyue, Ye Xuan didn't mind and still said with a smile: "Let me remove the seal for you, Fairy."

"Thank you, Young... Master..." Wang Mengqi's face flushed slightly, and her whole body fell into Ye Xuan's arms. She then struggled to stand up from Ye Xuan's embrace, "Young Master, I didn't mean to..."

"Are you alright?" Ye Xuan watched Wang Mengqi stand steady and then released his hands that were holding her.

Waves of faint medicinal fragrance emanated from Wang Mengqi's body.

"Why don't I help you deal with this remaining scoundrel, Fairy?" Ye Xuan pointed his finger at Wu Ergou on the ground.

"If you want to vent your anger, Fairy, you can do it yourself." Ye Xuan felt his previous words weren't quite appropriate and added another sentence to make up for it.

"Am I, Wu Ergou, really going to die here today?" The middle-aged man lying on the ground was filled with unwillingness: "I haven't even consumed that Grade 3 Nine-Turn Body Refining Pill yet. I am not reconciled!"

"This... since I am fine, why don't we just let him go?" Although Wang Mengqi was still terrified by what had just happened, fortunately, she was unharmed. A trace of kindness in her heart drove her, and she couldn't bear to kill Wu Ergou.

As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Ergou seemed to have grabbed a straw for survival and kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

"This Fairy, you are truly too naive. If I hadn't been here today, I don't think I need to say more about what would have happened to your appearance and your body. In this world, there is no medicine for regret."

Ye Xuan shook his head. For someone like Wang Mengqi who had not experienced the dangers of the world, if what had just happened had actually occurred, this Wu Ergou on the ground would likely not just be killed, but might even be torn into pieces.

"Since it's hard to choose, let me make the decision."

Ye Xuan stopped asking the hesitant Wang Mengqi, raised his left hand, and struck down fiercely.

Wu Ergou, who couldn't even make a sound to beg for mercy, had already lost all signs of life at this moment.

The future Great Sage of Devouring of the demon race no longer existed.

Following the usual custom, Ye Xuan used his divine sense to take the spirit ring from Wu Ergou's body. After breaking the restriction, he found that Grade 3 Nine-Turn Body Refining Pill.
