127: Ancient ruins unearthed!

Chapter 127: Ancient Ruins Unearthed!

The three great Magical Beasts families are indeed terrifying, but if they die silently outside…

They are no different from ordinary people!

Hun Yu and Jiu Feng exchanged glances, both seeing killing intent in each other's eyes, and prepared to strike first!

"Seeking death! In that case, I can't let you live!" Hun Yu's face was ferocious.

"Presumptuous!" Jiu Feng's eyes were filled with rampant killing intent.

Accompanied by two identical sharp shouts, they both attacked Lu Chuan simultaneously.

Before their clansmen behind them could even follow, the two of them flew back at a speed many times faster than before.

Their figures became a straight line, coughing blood all the way, and after flying back several hundred meters, their bodies crashed into a giant rock, stirring up dust everywhere, which temporarily saved their lives.

These two did not die, but the consequences were even worse than death!

After Lu Chuan swatted the two away like flies, he then killed all their clansmen and prepared to leave with the women.

Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?

He had noted them this time!

Perhaps it was time for the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan to undergo a blood change, driving out some old geezers.

Recalling Jiu Feng's gaze from before, Lu Chuan's expression grew even more somber.

As for Jiu Feng himself, with all his meridians shattered, Lu Chuan guaranteed he would suffer more than death.

… … … .

After returning to Lingxiao Palace, Lu Chuan settled his women and then went to his exclusive Alchemy room.

The Pill Cauldron stood silently in the Alchemy room, and even after several months, there was still no significant change.

Lu Chuan came here, of course, to refine the legendary Bodhi Pill.

Before going into seclusion, he had instructed Huo Ling'er to have the Burning Flame Valley spread the news, believing that it wouldn't be long before many peak Dou Zun old monsters would come to him.

After all, the Bodhi Pill had the potential to help people break through to Half-Saint!

As soon as the news spread, it was like a drop of boiling oil falling into calm water, and the Dou Qi Continent instantly erupted!

Bodhi Pill!

A legendary treasure that could allow one to break through to Saint!

This item had not appeared for thousands of years, and its main refining material was said to come from the legendary Bodhi Ancient Tree.

And the Bodhi Ancient Tree, known as the Tree of Wisdom, was even harder to find.

It could be said that although this pill formula was not lost, it was no different from being lost.

Without the materials to refine it, no matter how brilliant and talented an Alchemist was, they would be like a clever housewife without rice to cook.

But now.

The news of the Bodhi Pill's appearance, once it fermented, swept across the entire Dou Qi Continent.

Many old monster powerhouses inquired and found that the source of the news was in the Northwest Continent, and the Bodhi Pill was being refined by an Alchemist named Lu Chuan.

"Lu Chuan?" Who is this person? Many old monsters muttered to themselves.

They had been dormant for a long time, and many old monsters, due to their approaching lifespan, could only seal their consciousness with secret techniques, falling into a state between life and death.

Similar to living dead, although still alive, they had no power to interfere with the outside world.

When they learned from their descendants that Lu Chuan was a young Alchemist, the solemn expressions on the faces of those old monsters quickly turned to disdain.

"Just a yellow-haired boy! You believe such rumors? Believing he can refine the Bodhi Pill is less believable than an Eighth-Grade Alchemist being resurrected on the Dou Qi Continent!" An old monster scolded his junior, a scene that often occurred.

As the news spread, many powerful figures of major forces suffered.

They were all powerful in their own right, but in front of their ancestors, who were of a higher generation, they were scolded like sons.

"But Lu Chuan is an Eighth-Grade Alchemist!"

And these powerful figures retorted, not to be outdone.

The faces of those newly revived old monsters turned from disdain to shock, and finally to solemnity, and later even to extreme regret, clearly realizing that they had misunderstood a great Alchemist.

And the powerful figures who witnessed the whole process felt a secret pleasure.

Serves you right for flaunting your age!

Just because others can't do it doesn't mean Lu Chuan can't.

He is a favored son of heaven, very formidable!

Such a young Eighth-Grade Alchemist, a Dou Saint powerhouse.

You old monsters have truly lived in vain.

There were not a few powerhouses with similar thoughts.

Lu Chuan was a Dou Saint powerhouse and an Eighth-Grade Alchemist at such a young age, while they, these peak Dou Zuns who had lived for long years, most of them were stuck there for life.

It was truly embarrassing.

After these old monsters confirmed that Lu Chuan was the refiner of the Bodhi Pill, their attitudes became even more enthusiastic.

They all climbed out of their coffins, wanting to go to Lingxiao Palace in the Northwest Continent to meet Lu Chuan, and before leaving, they brought many treasures, secret treasures, and rare items from the outside world.

Only to exchange them for the Bodhi Pill with Lu Chuan.

As for forcibly taking it, they did not have that thought.

Are you kidding?

A Dou Saint powerhouse.

Not to mention one peak Dou Zun, even dozens of peak Dou Zun powerhouses at the Ninth Revolution could not harm a single finger of a Dou Saint.

At the Dou Saint level, one had long since undergone a complete transformation, far from being able to be overwhelmed by numbers.

Facing Lu Chuan, this Dou Saint, the first thought these old monsters had was to befriend him, and many even wished to pledge allegiance to Lu Chuan.

After all, the potential of a force with an Eighth-Grade Alchemist plus a Dou Saint powerhouse at its helm was imaginable; the entire Dou Qi Continent would extend an olive branch to such a great force.

"Grandson, is that Lu Chuan really that amazing?" A white-haired old man climbed out of his coffin.

One must know that he was an Eighth-Grade Alchemist, not a common cabbage found on the street.

Could Lu Chuan, at such a young age, really reach a realm that many Alchemists could never touch in their lifetime?

"Ancestor, Lu Chuan has been certified by the Pill Tower; if you don't believe me, you should at least believe the Pill Tower," the powerful figure respectfully said.

The old man understood; the Pill Tower had existed since his active days, and if Lu Chuan was certified by the Pill Tower, he was indeed trustworthy.

He didn't expect the other party to really be an Eighth-Grade Alchemist!

Thinking of this, the old man no longer lingered, taking enough treasures and heading to the Northwest Continent, just like many other peak Dou Zuns, all pledging allegiance to Lu Chuan.

Arriving at Lingxiao Palace, the front of the palace was now a sea of people, a vast expanse of white, almost dazzling to the eyes.

There were white-haired old men dressed in simple plain clothes, or mysterious powerhouses with black cloaks, their faces obscured by their robes.

There were former emperors wearing python dragon robes, and also plain-clothed old men with unremarkable attire.

In short, these old men, who outwardly looked like they had one foot in the grave, all had formidable auras, with terrifying presences emanating from within their bodies.

"Little friend, could you please introduce me to Grandmaster Lu Chuan?"

The crowd surged forward, and at a certain point, someone finally couldn't help but step forward.

And this was just the beginning.

Lu Chuan also finished refining the Bodhi Pill at this time.

He stepped forward and walked out of the Alchemy room.

Sensing the many auras outside Lingxiao Palace, his figure appeared at the palace gate.

A handsome figure appeared at the majestic and grand palace gate, immediately attracting the attention of most people.

Lu Chuan's voice was faint as he said, "I already know why you all have come. I believe you all know the preciousness of the Bodhi Pill. I don't have many such treasures that can assist people in breaking through to Dou Saint."

"After all, many Dou Zuns in my subordinate forces need the Bodhi Pill, and I can't favor one over the other," Lu Chuan said with a smile.

Two old men in the crowd exchanged glances. One of them, a thin and ordinary-looking old man, stepped forward. He came before Lu Chuan, clasped his hands, and bowed, saying, "May I ask if joining Grandmaster Lu's forces would give one a chance to obtain the Bodhi Pill? We will certainly exert ourselves to the utmost!"

Upon hearing this, everyone felt as if they had been enlightened.

That's right!

Since even the powerhouses of Grandmaster Lu's forces weren't enough to distribute the Bodhi Pills, what if they joined Lu Chuan's forces?

Would they have a chance to obtain the Bodhi Pill?

Even if they didn't have a chance, a force with an Eighth-Grade Alchemist at its helm would surely not treat them harshly!

"Naturally, there is a chance. No matter where an individual comes from, once they join my forces, they are all from the same force, and discrimination against each other is absolutely not allowed!"

Lu Chuan smiled.

As he nodded, these old men, who had long been nearing the end of their lifespan, did not hesitate much.

They also understood that obtaining the Bodhi Pill would certainly require some cost, and thus they were exceptionally straightforward when joining Lu Chuan's forces.

There were also many powerhouses who were concerned about their own forces and were still hesitating.

But most people still chose to join Lu Chuan.

They understood that to obtain such a precious treasure as the Bodhi Pill, they would certainly have to put in more effort, and thus they were very diligent when facing Lu Chuan's instructions!

Soon after, Lu Chuan received a piece of news.

An ancient ruin had appeared in the Beast Region.

It attracted a large number of forces from the Dou Qi Continent to explore the ancient ruin, though true Dou Saint powerhouses didn't care for it.

Lu Chuan knew that in that ruin, there existed the dragon phoenix origin fruit. If he could obtain the dragon phoenix origin fruit and give it to Zi Yan, he could cultivate her into a great assistant for himself.

Zi Yan, as a Void Ancient Dragon, could use the dragon phoenix origin fruit to quickly raise her cultivation and become one of his helpers!

Therefore, not long after receiving the news, Lu Chuan, who had just taken in a large number of peak Dou Zun powerhouses, handed over the management of this group to Xiao Mei, Xiao Yu, and the other women.

… …

"If I can obtain the dragon phoenix origin fruit and give it to Zi Yan to purify her bloodline, she will be a great help when she grows up!" Lu Chuan mused.

This was a reason he had to go.

Of course, before going to the ancient ruin, he had to properly arrange these Dou Zuns who had pledged allegiance to him.

One must know that these old men were all peak Dou Zun powerhouses; a single oversight could cause great chaos.

In the outside world, a stomp of their feet would cause an eight-sided tremor!

Therefore, the person chosen to manage them also had to be very careful.

However, Lu Chuan was not too worried about this point. Among the women, there was Huo Ling'er, who had reached Half-Saint, and with her strength, managing these Dou Zuns was more than enough.

Although Half-Saint had not completely severed its connection with the Dou Zun realm.

It still had the word 'Saint' in it!

Huo Ling'er's strength was no longer what it used to be; even dozens of peak Dou Zuns would not dare to be presumptuous in front of her.

After all, the two sides were not enemies; they were all serving Lu Chuan and seeking the Bodhi Pill.

The advantage of having a powerhouse in charge could also prevent these peak Dou Zuns from slacking off. After all, each of them was an old monster; they might not cause trouble, but they would still secretly look down on others.

Only powerhouses could make them obey!

Soon, it was time for Lu Chuan to depart, and the women came to bid him farewell reluctantly.

"Lu Chuan, be careful!"

"That's right, your daughter and son are still waiting for you."

"Never act recklessly when encountering trouble!"

"Remember to come back soon!"

Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, Huo Ling'er, Mu Qingluan, and the other women reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Chuan.

And Lu Chuan nodded slightly to them, not worrying about their safety.

As the news of the Bodhi Pill spread, many peak Dou Zuns across the entire Dou Qi Continent had already come to pledge allegiance to him.

In these past few days, his influence had subtly overshadowed that of the Hall of Souls and the Pill Tower.

At least in the Dou Zun realm, even the Pill Tower could not compare to Lu Chuan's forces!

This meant that as long as the women were not actively seeking death, they could basically walk unhindered in the outside world!

As Lu Chuan walked to the end of the palace complex, a figure suddenly darted out from a corner.

"Master, before you leave, your disciple has something unclear, please enlighten me!" Cao Ying stepped forward, her face anxious.

The girl was wearing a white gauze dress, outlining her graceful figure, her face pure and unpretentious, looking exceptionally beautiful.

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow. As Cao Ying's master, he naturally had an obligation to clear her doubts, so he nodded and said, "Tell me, if there's anything you don't understand, bring it up. Before I leave, you can speak freely."

With Lu Chuan's permission, Cao Ying also grew bolder.

"Master, there's a certain pill that your disciple always fails to refine…"

Cao Ying said, leading Lu Chuan towards her Alchemy room.

In Lingxiao Palace, there was a palace that was Cao Ying's residence.

It was grand and magnificent, gilded and resplendent. Not far from it was a slightly smaller room. Pushing open a hidden door, several flickering candle flames dispelled the darkness in the room, clearly indicating that someone was often there.

What greeted their eyes was a vermilion Alchemy Cauldron, and on a wooden cabinet beside it were various jade bottles, labeled with the types of pills they contained.

The medicinal ingredients were neatly categorized, and next to them were two small prayer mats, clearly prepared for someone.

Lu Chuan raised an eyebrow, his expression becoming strange. With his powerful divine sense, he could detect that the pill being refined in the cauldron was just a very ordinary pill, only around the Dou Wang level.

Cao Ying came from a learned family and could not possibly fail to refine a pill of this level.

He just didn't know why she had called him here.

"Master, please sit!" Cao Ying's manners were exceptionally thorough; from her appearance, one couldn't tell she was a rebellious disciple towards her master!

"Hmm." Lu Chuan nodded slightly, sitting on the prayer mat. He wanted to see what Cao Ying was really up to!

"Master, the refining process of this pill is very complex, and your disciple might do something impolite. Please don't blame me!" Cao Ying explained.

Lu Chuan nodded.

He wasn't so afraid of his delicate and soft disciple!

"Thank you, Master!" Cao Ying's face lit up with joy.

She stood behind Lu Chuan, her gaze anxiously falling on Lu Chuan's back. This was the person she had longed for day and night.

Cao Ying was already impatient!

With a ripping sound!

The white gauze dress was torn with a long slit, revealing skin as fair as snow and jade.
