Suddenly.
A disciple came to report.
"Bad news, Sect Master, something big has happened!" An elder rushed over, his face filled with anxiety.
The old man was displeased. With distinguished guests present, how could he be so agitated! He said calmly, "What is it? Speak slowly!"
You are so reckless in front of distinguished guests, it's utterly embarrassing.
This elder glanced at Lin Fan, who was drinking tea, and lowered his voice, "Sect Master, the Pill Demon has broken free and is wreaking havoc!"
"What? How is that possible!" The old man stood up abruptly, his face full of shock.
"We don't believe it either, but it's the truth. What should we do now?"
"Let's go, we'll form a formation immediately, hoping to seal it back."
"That's all we can do!"
The Sect Master was about to leave. He glanced back at Lin Fan. Lin Fan nodded and smiled, then followed. The Sect Master was relieved.
With Lin Fan present, he felt more confident, as he believed Lin Fan was much stronger than him.
Passing through a mountain range, everyone stopped above a large mountain.
Looking down, they saw a formation covering the mountaintop. In the center of the formation, a small black figure was charging wildly.
Lin Fan frowned and asked, "Is this the Pill Demon?"
The Sect Master nodded and explained, "My esteemed friend, you may not know, but this Pill Demon is formed from the convergence of countless waste energies after our alchemy failed. It is a negative pill spirit. Because our sect has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, and the number of failed alchemy attempts each year is too high, these waste energies have converged to form the Pill Demon. We sealed it before, who knew it would break free at this time."
He was also very depressed.
This Pill Demon was formed from the essence of failed alchemy, an aggregate of countless discarded pill energies. Through quantitative change leading to qualitative change, it had formed a demonic pill spirit.
"Now, the strength of this Pill Demon is comparable to the Mahayana realm. If it weren't for its low intelligence, we wouldn't have been able to seal it!"
He sighed deeply as he said this.
This was the Mahayana realm. Currently, the Tribulation Transcendence realm was the pinnacle in this world. The sudden appearance of a Mahayana realm Pill Demon meant that even their sect's combined strength, if not careful, could lead to utter destruction. Therefore, they had to be cautious.
At this moment.
The Pill Demon suddenly struggled.
"Not good, the Pill Demon is rioting! Exert more strength! We absolutely cannot let it break free, otherwise, we will all be in danger!"
"Yes!"
All the elders exerted their full strength, and even the Sect Master joined in.
Mu Linxi said, "Master, this Pill Demon is so cute."
Lin Fan turned to look at her, noticing her bright eyes staring at the Pill Demon with a look of fascination.
Lin Fan pondered.
The Blue Dragon let out a low roar, and Li Qin came to Lin Fan's side.
"Master!"
Lin Fan introduced, "This is Mu Linxi, the disciple I just accepted. Mu Linxi, this is your senior brother."
"Hello, Senior Brother!" Mu Linxi was quite well-behaved.
Li Qin quickly replied, "Hello, Junior Sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, new developments occurred on the battlefield.
Boom!
The Pill Demon suddenly erupted with several times its previous power. Black pill energy surged into the sky, instantly breaking through the formation's restraints.
"Not good! The Pill Demon has broken free!"
Everyone was terrified, their faces turning extremely pale.
Once this Pill Demon broke free, their sect would be in danger.
The Sect Master's face was pale, and he muttered, "Wh-what do we do now?"
The others looked desperate, their hands and feet trembling.
"The Pill Demon has broken free, what can we do?"
"This time, the Pill Demon is more than ten times stronger than last time. We barely managed to seal it then, but can we succeed this time?"
"We can't possibly defeat the Pill Demon now, unless people from the Formation Sect come and use powerful formations to trap the Pill Demon!"
"We're doomed. With the Pill Demon's nature, we're all going to perish."
".........."
The last time the Pill Demon ran rampant was a hundred years ago. Those present had the fortune to participate in that battle.
After the battle, their Qingmu Alchemy Sect had lost one-third of its high-level combat strength.
Now, a hundred years have passed, and the Pill Demon has grown ten times stronger and is wreaking havoc again. How can they cope?
What should they do?
Everyone showed despair.
"Hiss hiss hiss!!!"
"Kill you all!"
The Pill Demon, shrouded in black energy, looked down at the people below and charged forward!
It had set its sights on the pill energy within them, as consuming pill energy would allow it to grow.
Seeing it approaching like a tidal wave, everyone's faces turned pale.
"It's over!"
Boom!
The Pill Demon charged, and before it even got close, the wind and clouds changed. The elders were blown away.
Suddenly, the Pill Demon transformed into an arm and reached for Lin Fan.
In its eyes, Lin Fan had the heaviest pill energy, so he was the primary target.
"Master!" His two disciples cried out anxiously.
Lin Fan smiled, looked up at the black misty arm, and said softly, "A mere Pill Demon, dare to attack me?"
As his voice fell, he also raised his arm, emitting a faint light, and gently brought it down.
Boom!
Powerful forces erupted, instantly shattering space and revealing dark spatial rifts.
The arm conjured by the Pill Demon was swept away by the spatial turbulence before it could even get close.
This scene caused everyone to stare in astonishment, their mouths agape.
Especially the Sect Master of Qingmu Alchemy Sect. Although he had long suspected Lin Fan's strength, he hadn't expected him to be so powerful.
Could he be in the Mahayana realm to so easily shatter space?
But this world, didn't it no longer have cultivators reaching the Mahayana realm?
Moreover, Mahayana realm cultivators couldn't shatter space, right?
He couldn't understand it, but soon he became happy. Lin Fan was powerful, so they wouldn't die.
At this moment, he was extremely grateful that he hadn't been rude to Lin Yu, otherwise, he would have been killed by now.
He took a deep breath and looked up at Lin Fan.
He saw that Lin Fan was already reaching out through space, grabbing the Pill Demon.
The Pill Demon was utterly helpless in his hands, held captive.
"Who exactly is he?"
"A Pill Demon comparable to the Mahayana realm, yet he is so easily subdued. Is he an immortal?"
"No matter who he is, we are saved now. We don't have to die. Thank you, senior, for saving our lives!"
".........."
Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They no longer had to die.
At this moment.
Lin Fan held the Pill Demon and, looking closely, discovered it was a small girl with black transparent wings.
The girl was only a little over a foot tall, with a pair of black transparent wings. She looked about seven or eight years old, and at this moment, she appeared very angry, looking incredibly cute.
"Let me go!" The Pill Demon thrashed about.
Lin Fan chuckled, "No wonder my second disciple said you were cute. You are indeed cute. Since you're so cute, I won't kill you."
Cuteness is justice. At this moment, Lin Fan deeply understood this.
"Master, can you give it to me?" Mu Linxi asked expectantly.
Lin Fan smiled, "You two would be a perfect match. However, your cultivation is too weak now, and it would be bad if you got hurt. Wait a moment, I'll give this little one some enlightenment."
Lin Fan silently recited, "Soul Transference Technique!"
Buzz!
Gentle rays of light rose.
As soon as the light appeared, the surrounding black mist dissipated.
The light fell upon the Pill Demon, and the negative emotions contained within the energies of the various alchemists were purified and dispersed. The Pill Demon gradually woke up.
The Pill Demon's low intelligence was due to the negative emotions contained in the discarded pill energies it absorbed. These negative emotions affected its mental development and inclined it towards killing and chaos.
Now, after being purified of negative emotions by the Soul Transference Technique, only pure discarded pill energy remained. Its intelligence naturally recovered.
After all, it was an anomalous life form in the Mahayana realm, with strong soul power. Its intelligence shouldn't be so low.
The restored Pill Demon's eyes became pure. It knelt in the air and kowtowed a few times.
"Thank you for your grace of rebirth. Dan Xi is eternally grateful!"
