One person: I, Daoist Master, am a cultivator of immortality!

After Sun Yao swallowed the Phoenix Blood Pill, its medicinal power began to dissipate in his stomach. It entered his blood vessels through his internal organs and traveled along the bloodstream to his heart. The Phoenix Blood Pill was very potent, but its direct target was not Sun Yao himself, but rather the drop of purple-gold blood lingering in his heart.

The Phoenix Blood Pill's medicinal power acted on the Purple-Gold Blood itself, continuously strengthening the drop of Purple-Gold Blood within Sun Yao's body. Under the influence of the Phoenix Blood Pill, the Purple-Gold Blood steadily grew stronger, though the extent of this growth was not visible to the naked eye. Its changes were subtle, yet continuous.

Until the Phoenix Blood Pill's medicinal power was completely exhausted, the drop of purple-gold blood in Sun Yao's body had grown to about half its original size. Don't underestimate this half-size growth; it alone had brought about a tremendous change in Sun Yao's bloodline.

Sun Yao's bloodline, after being baptized by the Purple-Gold Blood, had a very faint crimson-gold hue, but now it had been completely transformed into a crimson-gold bloodline. Waltz cut a wound on his hand, and the blood that flowed out was crimson-gold.

His blood turned crimson gold, bringing him not only an improvement in his bloodline but also a significant enhancement to his talent. His cultivation talent is now several times stronger than before, a truly substantial boost. Secondly, the advancement in his bloodline brought about an increase in his strength; he has finally become a cultivator at the peak of the Qi Refining realm.

Although the Qi Refining Realm is the beginning of cultivation, it is the most unique realm on the path of cultivation. Other cultivation realms are divided into only four sub-realms: early, middle, late, and peak. The Qi Refining Realm is different; in addition to these four sub-realms, it also has a Perfect Realm.

There are thirteen levels in the Qi Refining realm. Reaching the twelfth level of Qi Refining, which is the peak of Qi Refining, allows one to begin Foundation Establishment. However, this is not the perfect time for Foundation Establishment. In fact, perfect Foundation Establishment can only be achieved after reaching the thirteenth level of Qi Refining, which is the peak of Qi Refining.

Sun Yao has now reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, which is the early stage of the peak of Qi Refining. Putting aside everything else, he is now very close to being invincible. If he can reach the Foundation Establishment stage, he can achieve an inexhaustible flow of Qi. With an inexhaustible flow of Qi, his protective techniques will be unbreakable, and even firearms will be unable to harm him. Not to mention bullets, he can even stop artillery shells with one hand. Unless bombarded by missiles, he will be fearless.

What? You mean gunpowder explosion? He's a fire enthusiast, how could gunpowder explosion harm him? Plus, with his elemental transformation in the Reverse Fire state, his survival skills are off the charts.

"Has your strength improved again? What level of Qi Refining are you at now? I feel like I can't catch up with you no matter how hard I try!" Yue Qiluo asked, looking at Sun Yao's rising aura. After all, she had witnessed Sun Yao's strength increase almost instantly after refining pills and taking medicine—or rather, in a very short time.

"That's right, my strength has improved to another level. I'm now at the tenth level of Qi Refining, and I've successfully entered the peak of Qi Refining."

"Really? That's wonderful! Are you truly invincible now? Can I finally find a chance to deal with those Taoist priests from Qingyun Temple? That old man sealed me away for a hundred years; I'm going to settle this score with his disciples and followers." As Yue Qiluo spoke, she began to plan, already counting on her fingers how to take the first step in dealing with Qingyun Temple.

Sun Yao was speechless, staring at Yue Qiluo who was engrossed in her plan. What could he do? He could only sigh and rub his forehead.

"Can't you think of something else? All you do is think about these low-class things. Nowadays, Qingyun Temple only has a handful of big cats and small cats left. Don't you think it's beneath you to deal with them? According to seniority, they should call you Grandmaster Uncle."

After Sun Yao finished speaking, Yue Qiluo immediately lost her previous enthusiasm. Sun Yao's words made her realize that her long-cherished revenge was truly meaningless. "Why did that old man die? He should have at least waited until I got my revenge! Honestly!"

"Yes, yes, it's all his fault!" Sun Yao was speechless after hearing this, but what could he do? He could only indulge Yue Qiluo and go along with what she said, since she was Sun Yao's woman.

Just as Sun Yao was coaxing Yue Qiluo in a doting tone, his vision suddenly blurred, and the next second his eyes began to hurt violently without any warning.

"Ah! What's going on! What's going on!" Sun Yao covered his eyes tightly with both hands, the pain driving him into a frenzy. He rammed around the room, knocking over many tables and chairs. Yue Qiluo didn't panic. Instead, her hands emitted red light as she pointed at the small table on the bed. In the next moment, countless paper figures flew up from the table and wrapped around Sun Yao, restricting his movements.

Even so, Sun Yao continued to roll on the ground, seemingly in excruciating pain. Yue Qiluo was helpless, as Sun Yao's sudden pain came without warning; he himself didn't know what was happening, let alone Yue Qiluo.

"Ah Yao, what's wrong? Can you hear me? What happened? How can I help you?"

Although Yue Qiluo had used the paper doll to restrain Sun Yao and prevent him from hurting himself, she was at a loss as she looked at him rolling on the ground. Just as Yue Qiluo spoke, Sun Yao suddenly slowed his movements, and the next second, he lowered his hands from his eyes. Yue Qiluo immediately looked into Sun Yao's eyes, wanting to know what had happened to make him look like that.

Yue Qiluo looked Sun Yao up and down but saw that there was nothing unusual about his eyes. However, the next second, Sun Yao's pupils suddenly contracted and then began to separate into other pupils. Although the two pairs of pupils were close together, this was undoubtedly the legendary double pupils.

Immediately afterward, Sun Yao's two pairs of pupils merged into one again, forming an even rarer phenomenon: two pairs of pupils of different sizes overlapped, an absolute anomaly among those with double pupils.

"Alright, Qiluo, let me go. I feel better than ever before!"
