18: Thoughts of Heaven and Earth, Crazy Long Xiyue

The Qi mass in the sky was still condensing.

Xiao Dong panicked; this was his first time encountering the Heaven and Earth Alchemy Flow.

“Old man, what should I do?”

“What should I do?”

“I can’t stop now!”

Sweat poured down as Xiao Dong gradually calmed down and began to think.

Suddenly, he remembered Duan Tianya's words from his first Alchemy session.

“A few words can lead to Profound Truth; why need thousands of Pill Formulas!”

“Next, I will tell you the ultimate Profound Truth of Alchemy!”

“Gather Medicinal Plants into the furnace, receive the sun and moon, and achieve creation through Heaven and Earth Sense!”

A glint flashed in Xiao Dong’s eyes.

“I understand!”

“Gather Medicinal Plants into the furnace, receive the sun and moon” means collecting earth, dew, and flower fragrance as Materials, entering the Heaven and Earth furnace, and undergoing wind, rain, and mist extraction.

“Achieve creation through Heaven and Earth Sense” means gathering flower fragrance, forming a Dao virtual image, and attaching earth Qi to bestow creation!

Only the last step remains: “achieve through Heaven and Earth Sense!”

Heaven and Earth Alchemy Flow, then it can only be done using Heaven and Earth Sense!

“Thunder, Heaven and Earth Sense!”

Xiao Dong straightened his posture, lightning flashed in his eyes, and his Aura was unparalleled.

Immediately, the Heaven and Earth underwent tremendous changes, with lightning and thunder.

All vegetation shrunk, trembling.

Jiang Lin looked at this scene, his eyes filled with shock.

Without Duan Tianya, this guy could still complete the Heaven and Earth Alchemy Flow?

As expected of the protagonist!

But why don't I remember needing to use the Thunder Heaven and Earth Sense...?

Long Xiyue looked at the scene before her in confusion. Was this the Heaven and Earth Alchemy Flow?

Was that Xiao Dong really an Alchemy Great Master?

And it had nothing to do with the remnant soul?

“Jiang Lin, you lost. Yue Shang is not at all...”

Suddenly, the ground shook, and the Formation nourishing the Spiritual Plants instantly collapsed.

“Princess Long Xiyue, look at the flowers on the ground! This is not the Heaven and Earth Alchemy Flow at all! This is the Demonic Path’s Horizontal Cultivation Flow!”

Liu Ziyang was overjoyed, as if he had encountered something exciting.

Long Xiyue quickly looked down.

Hundreds of rare flowers gradually withered, and their colorful branches and leaves slowly turned dry.

And all the Life Qi surged towards Xiao Dong.

Medicinal Pills formed in the air, one by one.

“Poof, this kid is forcefully compelling the spiritual flowers to surrender their Origin with the might of Heaven and Earth, and then using those Origins to form Pills!”

Jiang Lin was also dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded!

This kid is truly a Prodigy.

He could actually deduce the next step on his own! Although he got it wrong, this talent is not simple!

The protagonist is indeed not that simple!

He must be captured today!

“It’s over, it’s completely over! The flowers and plants here are the Materials for Father Emperor to refine the Great Accomplishment Pill!”

Long Xiyue’s pupils contracted, revealing a look of terror.

She had been intelligent since childhood and knew that her favor came solely from her Father Emperor's guilt, compensating her for Long Zhan's deception of her Origin blood!

How could there be family affection in the Royal Family!

After this, her favor might be completely gone!

Not far away, Jiang Zhiyi was about to leave but suddenly turned to look this way.

“Who dares to use Heaven and Earth Sense in such a place to extract the essence of flower pistils!”

“Oh no, it’s the core Hundred Flower Area!”

“It couldn’t be Lin and the others, could it!”

The next moment, she rushed directly to the Hundred Flower Area and saw the continuously withering hundred flowers.

“It’s over!”

“Now one-third of the raw Materials for the Great Accomplishment Pill are destroyed!”

“Originally, with a complete Pill Formula, I could have quickly refined the Great Accomplishment Pill, but now I need to collect the Materials all over again!”

“Pill formed!”

Xiao Dong’s eyes narrowed, and four perfectly round, crystal-clear Hundred Fragrance Pills gathered, naturally engraved with strange flowers and patterns.

The highest-grade Hundred Fragrance Pill was formed!

He slowly landed, a faint smile on his lips, waiting for the exclamations from around him.

But things went against his wishes; what greeted him was a special gust of wind.

Poof!

He was directly covered in blood and fell to the ground.

Exerting all his strength, he squinted his eyes and, with his last bit of consciousness, clearly saw the person who had arrived.

It looked like a Fairy from the Nine Heavens Cold Palace...

“Thief, you trespassed into Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, used Heaven and Earth Sense, and stole the essence of the hundred flowers. What are your intentions?”

Jiang Zhiyi showed no mercy, directly striking Xiao Dong half-dead with one blow, while also defining the nature of the matter.

Xiao Dong trespassed into Ten Thousand Flowers Pavilion, and all of this was his doing alone.

Just then, a figure descended from the sky.

“Red-Eyed Dragon General, General Wu Shan, greets Immortal Dan Qingling!”

General Wu Shan?

He was Xiao Zhan’s first general back then.

After Xiao Zhan’s death, he disappeared directly, but it turns out he had been protecting Xiao Zhan’s son all along.

Jiang Zhiyi said coldly, “General Wu, are you a Dragon General or a Xiao Family General?”

General Wu Shan’s expression remained unchanged: “Please, Fairy Qingling, spare this child Xiao Dong!”

Xiao Dong!?

Shangguan Yaoyao suddenly sat up from Jiang Lin’s arms and looked towards the Hundred Flower Area.

At this moment, Xiao Dong lay in a pool of blood, on his last breath; his Divine Ability disguise had faded, revealing his original appearance.

“Is it really Brother Xiao Dong?”

“Did I just kiss someone else in front of him?”

Looking at the severely injured and unconscious Xiao Dong, Shangguan Yaoyao got up and was about to run over.

Jiang Lin’s lips curled into a cold smile. Sure enough.

Was Xiao Dong still more important?

He grabbed Shangguan Yaoyao and said coldly, “It’s really Xiao Dong. It seems your position in his heart is indeed not worth that necklace. You were kidnapped, and he came to curry favor with the Royal Family Princess!”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Yaoyao’s body froze, as if struck by five bolts of thunder.

“Indeed...”

“Brother Xiao Dong, do you no longer care about Shangguan Yaoyao?”

“Am I really not as good as a treasure?”

“No, it must be that you didn’t deliver the item!”

Shangguan Yaoyao’s eyes were bloodshot, still unwilling to believe.

“Feel it, where are your earrings?”

Shangguan Yaoyao panicked. She didn’t dare anymore.

She was afraid that Jiang Lin was right.

“Don’t lie to yourself!”

With Jiang Lin’s cold snort, her body trembled, and she sent out a sensation.

Within ten meters, on Xiao Dong’s body!

Shangguan Yaoyao was stunned.

“I... am I really not as good as a necklace?”

A hint of a smile flashed in Jiang Lin’s eyes. It worked!

That’s right, the moment Xiao Dong fell unconscious, Jiang Lin had quickly placed the earring on Xiao Dong’s body using his top-tier Heaven and Earth Sense.

It was all prepared for this psychological attack.

On the other side, General Wu Shan found the Death Exemption Token on Xiao Dong’s body.

“Back then, General Xiao defended Reincarnation Mountain to the death, helping Great Xia withstand the attacks of the Witch and Demon races. Your Majesty bestowed this Death Exemption Token. Is it enough for Xiao Dong’s life?”

Three meters away, Long Xiyue’s face was pale, and her body trembled incessantly.

Jiang Lin had Jiang Zhiyi backing him, and Xiao Dong had the old generals of the Xiao Family backing him.

“It turns out, only I have nothing backing me!”

“If Father Emperor finds out about all this, I will completely lose favor!”

She tightly clutched the Yellow Dragon Token in her hand; it was her only confidence.

But soon, this token would leave her!

Despair!

She completely collapsed onto the ground.

“No, I want him dead!”

“Dare to deceive me, I want you dead!”

The next moment, she held the Yellow Dragon Token, and the entire Secret Realm began to tremble.

Lines of killing intent techniques appeared in the sky, all locking onto Xiao Dong on the ground.

“No... don’t kill Xiao Dong, Jiang Lin, I beg you, save him!”

“The bet you made with Long Xiyue, she will definitely listen to you!”

“As long as you save Xiao Dong, I’ll do anything!”

“Concubine or maid, I’m willing!”

Shangguan Yaoyao turned to look at Jiang Lin, her face covered in tears.

At this moment, Jiang Lin completely ignored Shangguan Yaoyao and instead observed the situation.

Liu Ziyang and the other dandies hid in the pavilion, trembling and not daring to show their heads.

Jiang Zhiyi was among the flowers, checking the situation, the anger in her eyes growing more intense.

The frenzied Long Xiyue frantically activated the Secret Realm Formation, wanting to directly kill Xiao Dong.

General Wu Shan, covered in blood, held the Death Exemption Token, his body tightly shielding Xiao Dong on the ground.

In Jiang Lin’s mind, calculations continued.

Soon, he sighed helplessly.

Xiao Dong, still couldn’t die!
