185: My Lord, why does she care so much about Li Yan?
Immortal Weng with One Eye appeared completely arrogant in front of outsiders.
However, when facing these fairies from White Jade Capital, he acted extremely respectfully.
The few fairies who conveyed the message began to inquire about Li Yan's situation.
"Immortal Weng with One Eye, the Senior above asks, it has been more than ten days, has Li Yan's cultivation increased?"
Immortal Weng with One Eye, who was bent over, cupped his hands and respectfully replied, "Replying to you, sisters, that Cultivator named Li Yan is almost at the second level of the Soul Transformation Stage."
"With his current Cultivate speed, supplemented by the Spirit Liquid I meticulously prepared for him..."
"Within a year, he will surely be able to Breakthrough the Soul Transformation Stage and reach the Void Refining Stage."
"Upon reaching the Void Refining Stage, he can Ascend!"
As he spoke, Immortal Weng with One Eye's eyeballs darted around, and he cautiously asked,
"May I ask, sisters, why is that Senior above so concerned about Li Yan?"
"Although he is exceptionally talented, that Senior comes to ask every few days, isn't it a bit..."
Immortal Weng with One Eye voiced his confusion, wondering why that Senior would inquire every few days.
It was completely illogical...
It was like a distinguished guest at a restaurant who liked to eat the restaurant's signature roasted chicken, but would the distinguished guest constantly ask about the free-range chickens at the farm?
No, right?
Who would be concerned about a free-range chicken all day before attending a banquet?
Facing Immortal Weng with One Eye's question, the fairies snorted coldly, "Impudent! How dare you, old slave, presume to guess the Senior's thoughts?"
At these words, Immortal Weng with One Eye immediately lowered his body, replying with extreme humility.
"It was my loose tongue; I should not have presumptuously discussed her thoughts."
"This old slave will take great care of Li Yan and absolutely will not let any accident befall him."
Seeing Immortal Weng with One Eye, who had bent his waist almost like a roasted shrimp, the fairies nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave.
As the fairies floated away, Immortal Weng with One Eye let out a long breath of turbid Qi.
"This Senior is so peculiar, insisting on being so concerned about Li Yan, this Immortal Pill."
"It seems I need to speed things up and let her get her hands on Li Yan, this Immortal Pill, sooner."
"Let's send Li Yan some more Spirit Pills and miraculous medicines; strive to make him Ascend within half a year."
After saying that, Immortal Weng with One Eye suddenly revealed a strange smile.
"Let Yan Poshan go and deliver the medicine to Li Yan, and let Yan Poshan and his parents reunite."
"Yan Poshan, this dog, needs to be slowly tamed. Let him see his daughter; he will ultimately have to work for me."
Watching Immortal Weng with One Eye grin strangely, the Alchemy boy beside him curiously asked,
"Master, why do you keep an eye on Yan Poshan?"
"Aren't there people everywhere who will obey if they want to live?"
Immortal Weng with One Eye's mouth curved upwards: "You don't understand this. It's no fun if they willingly serve me."
"It has to be a man of unyielding integrity like Yan Poshan. Grasp his weakness, guide him step by step, and ultimately Cultivate him into White Jade Capital's most loyal servant."
"Tell me, isn't that fun?"
"Hahaha, it's very fun!"
Listening to Immortal Weng with One Eye's strange laughter as he answered his own questions, the other Alchemy boys all shivered.
They knew Master was mentally disturbed, but they didn't expect him to be this disturbed.
...
...
Gui Xu Realm Abyss.
When Li Yan returned here with Yuan Ye, the enormous turtle shell,
the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals of the Old Heavenly Court all gasped.
"It's one of the Four Fiends..."
"Yuan Ye, one of the Four Fiends?"
"How did I also sense Starfish's aura?"
As everyone was discussing, Li Yan stood on the turtle's back, looking at Ao Jiao.
Ao Jiao had thought a lot along the way, and her attitude had improved slightly.
"Little Bean Sprout, I know you might have grown up among the Human Race."
"But don't forget, your Soul emanates the aura of the Yanhuang Dragon Clan."
"I think you might have been protected by a Senior of the Dragon Clan, letting you hide within a human body, but in fact, you are a Dragon Clan member."
Ao Jiao still wanted to brainwash Li Yan at this moment, making him admit his identity as a Dragon Clan member.
Li Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry; Yanhuang Dragon Clan...
It seemed a bit difficult to explain.
Just then, a line of text appeared before Li Yan's eyes.
"[It has been detected that Cultivators above the Soul Transformation Stage have appeared around your Physical Body. Please return your Divine Soul to your main body as soon as possible.]"
Li Yan could only say, "Ao Jiao, I have to go for a moment."
"Uh, wait a minute!"
Ao Jiao still wanted to say something, but Li Yan's Divine Soul had already disappeared into thin air, leaving her staring blankly at the entrance of the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.
On the other side, Li Yan, back in his main body, awoke from the golden-patterned lotus platform.
He had been in the form of a golden Dragon Soul before, and returning to his own body felt a bit unaccustomed.
Looking at his Physical Body, Li Yan murmured, "Unconsciously, more than ten days have passed, and my cultivation while sitting cross-legged has already Broken through to the second level of the Soul Transformation Stage."
"I'm Cultivating a bit too fast; I need to slow down my Cultivate speed..."
"I've already learned Space Rending Claw. As long as I comprehend it well, I'll be able to escape this prison immediately!"
Just as Li Yan was planning to learn the long-distance teleportation of Space Rending Claw within a few months,
someone suddenly pushed open the door. The person who burst into the room was a woman, Yan Potian's daughter, Yan Qingqing.
And within Yan Qingqing, the Soul of Onyx Moon Fairy was residing.
Yan Qingqing excitedly ran over, "Brother Li! My father has returned from White Jade Capital!"
"He even brought us gifts, Brother Li, hurry and go see!"
Yan Qingqing took Li Yan's hand and excitedly led him out.
Li Yan had already known about Yan Poshan's situation, so he frowned slightly and followed Yan Qingqing to the square of Forget Dust Hall.
Outside Forget Dust Hall at this time, a large number of Cultivators had gathered.
They had all heard that Yan Poshan had Ascended to White Jade Capital half a month ago, and they didn't expect him to return so quickly!
Many venerable elders came forward to congratulate him.
"Immortal Yan!"
"I didn't expect you, Immortal Yan, to descend to the mortal realm again."
"Immortal, how is White Jade Capital? Is it really as the legends say, with Spirit Liquid flowing in the rivers? Floating with milk and honey?"
Facing the inquiries of a group of old acquaintances, Yan Poshan's mood was complex at this moment.
He knew the truth; Ascension was a scam.
He had seen the list on the White Jade Slip; most of the people present were on the Alchemy list.
They were all Human-shaped Immortal Plants raised by White Jade Capital in the mortal realm, waiting to be put into the Pill Furnace after their Feathered Ascension.
The Immortals of White Jade Capital feed on the flesh and blood of our Human Race Cultivators—Yan Poshan wished he could shout this out.
But having witnessed Immortal Weng with One Eye's methods, Yan Poshan knew...
He thought about these old friends, desperately Cultivating for Ascension, some even abandoning their wives and children, completely neglecting their families.
They strenuously Cultivated, endured countless hardships and tribulations, only to become Immortal Pills in the mouths of others in the end. Was it worth it?
But if he revealed even half a word today, no one here would leave alive.
Instead of telling them the truth, it would be better... better to let them live a few more days.
The words he wanted to say were swallowed back into Yan Poshan's stomach.
