Alien Science Cultivation

"Alright! No need to say more. Master understands your intentions! You and your senior brother are undeniably virtuous and talented among the younger generation of our Qingshan Sect. At just 18, they were already mid-stage Golden Core, and your senior brother has even reached the late Golden Core stage, far superior to Master's level! Master is now over 900 years old, and has only just reached the Perfect Nascent Soul stage. For over 200 years, I've been stuck there, with no progress. I recently experienced a realization that seemed to point to a glimmer of enlightenment, a ray of hope for the Divine Transformation. This sect crisis is most likely directed at Master. It's Master who has harmed you! Gain isn't always a blessing, and loss isn't always a disaster. Go find your senior brother! Take this storage ring! It contains a map of the edge of the Dark Forest, drawn by Master during his training years, along with some other miscellaneous items! Hiding in the Dark Forest may be the only way to escape this disaster! Remember not to tell anyone when you leave, there must be spies within the sect! Go down, and set off quickly..." The old man finished his words, then turned and walked away without another word.

"Master..." Ni Fang cried! In her memory, Master had always been omnipotent, but this time, all Master could do was point the way forward for her loved ones! Gazing at the elder's figure, Ni Fang didn't hesitate: "Master, take care..." With that, she kowtowed three times before bidding farewell and departing! With Ni Fang's current mid-Foundation Establishment stage, staying would only be a burden. Perhaps the Qingshan Sect's only hope lay in the eldest brother! She could disregard herself, but she had to take the eldest brother with her! Master's words were veiled, a confidant's responsibility! Even the master found it difficult to tame the eldest brother's temper. Perhaps only this little sister, Ni Fang, could control his temper. After all, all the troubles the eldest brother had caused in the Qingshan Sect were settled for him by this little sister in front of the master and the elders! In the Qingshan Sect, apart from the master and this little sister, the eldest brother acted carelessly in front of everyone else! After all, his strength, combined with his master as the sect master, gave him the capital to be so unruly! Even being punished to guard Qingshan Avenue for over a year didn't make him any less squeamish! Even when he met the mortal Zhang Qiang, he still showed off...

"Whether Qingshan Sect can rise again depends on you..." The old man turned around and looked in the direction where Ni Fang disappeared, muttering to himself!

Ni Fang didn't fly this time, not wanting to draw attention. She hurried to the medicine garden as quickly as possible. She gazed at the garden filled with precious herbs, feeling reluctant to leave! Most of these herbs were gifts from her master! Whenever her master went out, he would bring her a few herbs! Ni Fang was not only among the best in the sect in terms of talent and cultivation, but even more remarkable was her considerable accomplishments in alchemy! Alchemy is ranked from one to ten levels, and reaching the fourth level at the age of eighteen was truly remarkable. Most sects have several alchemists, crafting a variety of elixirs for the sect! The highest-ranking alchemist in the Qingshan Sect was two fifth-level, and the other three, like Ni Fang, were fourth-level! Even the elders would greet alchemists above the fifth level with respect, answering only to the sect master and the chief elder. This clearly demonstrates their high status! This was one of the reasons why her senior brother couldn't be so proud in front of her. Although his combat power was not as good as hers, his years of cultivation and attainments in the Dao of Alchemy were far beyond her senior brother's reach. This was also one of the reasons why she could interact with the elders of various peaks and help her senior brother with his aftermath! In order not to show any signs of leaving the sect, Ni Fang did not take any herbs with her. She quickly walked into Zhang Qiang's stone house and found Zhang Qiang sitting cross-legged on the stone bed. The naked eye could vaguely see the spiritual energy floating around him, which shocked Ni Fang again...

"Come with me... Don't bring any unnecessary things, and try not to show any signs of leaving the house..." Ni Fang said softly.

Zhang Qiang opened his eyes and glanced at Ni Fang. His expression was calm, as if he had already anticipated Ni Fang's departure from the sect. He had no idea whether Ni Fang would take him with her...

"Okay..." Zhang Qiang responded, stood up and followed Ni Fang!

"You're not taking anything with you? Honestly, it's hard to say whether we can get out alive this time. Even if we do, there's a good chance we won't come back, or even for decades or centuries! Even my Master..." Ni Fang said, turning back as she walked out of the stone house. She didn't want to say much, fearing that Zhang Qiang would be scared. After all, even she felt a little guilty, and she was also worried that he would follow her without knowing why and get into trouble. Perhaps Zhang Qiang had other better options!

"I understand everything! Your master is an amazing master! Life and death are determined by fate. Thank you Miss Ni for not abandoning me! My life is worthless, how can I value anything valuable?" Zhang Qiang answered firmly.

"Okay..." Ni Fang said, then turned and walked out of the garden, with Zhang Qiang following closely behind.

The sect's main gate was at the foot of the mountain, the herb garden was halfway up the mountain, and at the top were the cultivation caves of the elders and deacons. With the sect's protective formation activated, leaving the sect unnoticed was no easy feat! Ni Fang led Zhang Qiang down the mountain until they reached an uninhabited bamboo forest. They quickly entered from one side, crouching down and skillfully entering the natural channel formed by the mountain stream. They quickly pulled two green pills from their storage bag.

"After eating it, you can temporarily control the flow of spiritual energy in your body and temporarily block your breath, but your cultivation will also be sealed, in order to prevent the patrolling disciples or elders from discovering it! There is only one strategy. According to the experience of the eldest brother, the more dangerous the place, the safer it is! The possibility of slipping away from under the noses of the elders is much greater than slipping away from under the noses of ordinary disciples! In the past, the eldest brother often slipped out to drink! This way is probably known to the eldest brother, me and the master. This green solid soul pill is made by me for the eldest brother... I was afraid that he would cause trouble again! Under coercion, he told me the truth about this way to go out for a drink. I didn't expect that it would become our only way out today..." Ni Fang said softly while taking the pill and climbing up the ravine towards the top of the mountain.

Zhang Qiang naturally knew who her senior brother was, the "Lu Zheng brother" who got drunk after just a few drinks, the enthusiastic man who loved to show off! Thinking of this, and listening to Ni Fang's whispers, he seemed to have the urge to laugh! Who hasn't been a child? Thinking about his own childhood experiences, crawling through the grass, digging out bird nests, poking beehives, catching fish and shrimp... Zhang Qiang thought about it, took the Guling Pill, and then followed Ni Fang's steps...

Halfway up, Ni Fang couldn't move any further and sat down on a rock, panting heavily. Due to the effects of the Soul-Fixing Pill, she couldn't use her spiritual energy, and coupled with her previous injuries...it was truly difficult for this girl.

"Brother, brother, you climbed up this stinking ravine where even dogs wouldn't climb just to get some wine! I despise you! I'm convinced by you..." Ni Fang complained as she turned back to look at Zhang Qiang. As if to ease the tense atmosphere, or perhaps to hide her inner sadness and reluctance, she weakly asked Zhang Qiang, "You men...are all like this?"

Zhang Qiang didn't answer, but smiled slightly. He took out a cloth belt from his waist, wrapped one end around Ni Fang's body and the other end around his own waist. He walked to the front, bent over, and dragged Ni Fang forward.

"Your senior brother must have told you that the chances of climbing out during the day are much greater than at night. You never know what you might encounter at night..."
