The King of Xiuxianjuan returns to modern times and becomes a landlord

Deep within that remote and mysterious realm, Ying Xuan discovered a tranquil spot nestled among ancient trees. Sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled shadows as if nature's brush were painting a vibrant canvas across the landscape. She sat cross-legged, closed her eyes, and began to regulate her breathing, feeling the gentle flow of spiritual energy within her. Like a trickle of water converging into a river, the spiritual energy gradually dispelled her fatigue and revived her spirit.

As her spiritual energy filled, Ying Xuan slowly opened her eyes and pulled a simple alchemy furnace from her storage ring. The furnace was covered in the marks of time, yet it still emanated a faint spiritual glow, clearly an extraordinary treasure. She gently stroked the furnace, a flicker of determination and anticipation in her eyes, as if engaging in silent communication with this ancient treasure.

To better familiarize herself with the alchemy furnace and its surroundings, Ying Ni decided to first refine some common elixirs. Her technique was deft and precise, each injection of spiritual energy perfectly timed to the elixir's precise form, emitting an alluring medicinal aroma. With each successful elixir, her control of the furnace grew more and more masterful, as if becoming one with it.

After refining, Ying Xuan closed her eyes and regulated her breathing once more, this time more deeply sensing the fusion of her spiritual power with her surroundings. Several hours slipped by quietly, and when her breathing stabilized once again, her entire aura seemed to have undergone a qualitative leap, as if she had achieved some mysterious resonance with the spiritual energy of this secret realm.

Finally, Ying Ni opened her eyes, a light she had never seen before. She carefully controlled the strange fire, and it leaped and simmered like an obedient child. She placed the main ingredients for the Clearing Barrier Pill—Nine Nether Grass, Red Spider Lily, and Datura—along with the other auxiliary ingredients, into the alchemy furnace and began the mysterious process of refining the Clearing Barrier Pill.

As the strange fire burned, the medicinal herbs gradually melted within the alchemy furnace, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance and a faint glow. Ying Ni concentrated her spiritual energy, purifying the herbs to the utmost purity before carefully blending them together. The process was like dancing on the edge of a knife; the slightest mistake could ruin all the effort, but Ying Ni's every movement was filled with confidence and precision.

Time slipped quietly in the tense atmosphere. When the last wisp of medicinal fragrance was completely absorbed into the elixir, Ying Ni finally smiled with satisfaction. She gently tapped the alchemy furnace, and several faintly glowing clearing pills leaped into her hands. These pills not only embodied her hard work and wisdom, but also symbolized her strength, marking a solid step forward on her path to alchemy.

For the next few hours, Ying Ni once again immersed herself in the blazing flames of alchemy. She busied herself beside the furnace, her hands deftly manipulating the various medicinal ingredients. Batch after batch of Clearing Barrier Pills emerged from her meticulous refining, each one exuding a rich medicinal aroma and unsurpassed quality. Her face shone with focus and determination, as if each batch of pills carried the weight of her endless hopes and dreams. She knew these pills were not just a display of her skill, but also a vision and pursuit of her future.

As the main ingredient gradually depleted, the final batch of pills slowly took shape. The moment they emerged from the furnace, they shone brightly, and a pure, flawless aura permeated the air, the unique allure of the Immaculate Pill. A flicker of surprise crossed Ying Li's eyes. She knew the preciousness and extraordinary nature of the Immaculate Pill, and immediately sent a message to the Emperor in Fengdu, sharing this rare joy. She knew this was not just a personal achievement for her, but a major step forward for the entire alchemy world.

Upon hearing the news, the Emperor of Fengdu acted swiftly, relocating Ying Ni to a remote and mysterious region. Far from the hustle and bustle of the world, the sky was clear and peaceful. Ying Ni hovered in the air, clad in light clothing, her long hair flowing in the wind, like an angel descending from the earth. Her gaze was firm and calm as she quietly awaited the impending thunderstorm. She knew this would be a test not only of her alchemy skills but also of her will.

The sky gradually darkened, dark clouds gathered, and thunder roared. Flashes of lightning streaked across the heavens, as if the gods were announcing that the birth of the Immaculate Pill would inevitably bring about a calamity. Ying Ni took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and concentrated. A faint glow emanated from her body, as if she were engaged in a silent battle with the forces of heaven and earth. The thunder tribulation finally arrived, and thick bolts of lightning swooped down upon her like giant dragons. She faced it all with an otherworldly demeanor and composure. She knew this was a major test in her life, but also an opportunity for growth.

In this thrilling contest, Ying Xuan demonstrated her extraordinary strength and unwavering will. Using her elixir as a medium, she communicated and fused with the power of thunder and lightning between heaven and earth, ultimately successfully harnessing the lightning tribulation to her advantage, rendering the Immaculate Pill even purer and more flawless. As the last lightning bolt dissipated into the sky, Ying Xuan slowly opened her eyes, a triumphant smile on her face, knowing her alchemy skills had advanced yet another step. Not only had she successfully refined the Immaculate Pill, but in her struggle against the lightning tribulation, she had comprehended a deeper understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, a sense of accomplishment and pride filling her heart.

Ying Yao deftly pulled a bottle of crystal-clear, pure, clear-barrier pills from her ornate sleeves. A faint blue light shone from the bottle, like the brightest star in the night sky, emitting a mysterious and alluring luster. She slowly stepped forward and casually tossed the precious pill into the arms of the Emperor of Fengdu, as if to say, "This is my reward for borrowing your secret realm."

The Emperor of Fengdu took the Clearing Pill and nodded gently. His voice was deep and majestic, like the words of an ancient god. "Ying Ni, you have consumed so much spiritual energy in my secret realm, and you think you can end this with just a bottle of Clearing Pill?"

"Ming Ye, don't push your luck. If you don't want it, give it back to me." Ying Mei said gritting her teeth. Looking at the guy's expression of taking advantage of him, her heart was filled with helplessness and anger.

"Yes, how could I not want it?" Seeing Ying Ni was angry, Ming Ye quickly put away the bottle of pills and showed a sly smile on his face.

Ying Ni thought of the young people she had brought with her. She turned to the side and asked with concern, "Ming Ye, I wonder how Mu Ya and the others are doing now? Are they safe and sound?"

Mingye smiled faintly, as if he had already read her thoughts. "Muya and the others are currently accompanying the Judge in various locations to assist in capturing ghosts. Their bravery and outstanding performance have made them an indispensable force in the underworld."

Hearing this, Ying Ni felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She could almost imagine Mu Ya and the others traversing the gloomy underworld, magical instruments in hand, battling cunning ghosts with wits and courage. Their figures shone brightly in the darkness, like the brightest lights, illuminating the path ahead and dispelling the fear within.

"Thanks for letting me know. I'm relieved." Ying Ni followed Ming Ye back to Fengdu. She knew she could stay here for a few more days. Since they were out hunting ghosts, she didn't want to disturb them. She would go find them when the time came. She decided to use this time to rest and prepare.
