Reborn junior sister supports the entire sect by refining pills

Yun Aotian pinched the bridge of his nose, scanned the surroundings with his divine sense, and only looked at Liu Yang when there was no one else around.

"How's your investigation into the Soul-Eating Insects going?"

When the Soul-Devouring Insects were mentioned, Liu Yang's expression turned somewhat grim.

“Those guys are hiding very well. The Enforcement Hall suspects a few disciples, but so far they haven’t found anyone who contacted them.”

Yun Aotian looked at Liu Yang with some dissatisfaction.

"Ten days have passed since the incident, and this is all the enforcement hall has found??"

Although Liu Yang didn't want to admit his incompetence, he was helpless.

"Those guys are extremely cunning. After the incident involving Chen Fengzi broke out, apart from a few suspicious disciples from the Fengji Hall who spread the news,..."

No one else was found to be suspicious!

As he spoke, Liu Yang showed Yun Aotian the information he had gathered on the suspicious disciples.

There are seven suspicious disciples in total, five of whom are from the Wind Extreme Hall. They are usually aloof and do not like to be with other disciples. They spend most of their time refining pills behind closed doors.

There are two other disciples, one of whom is an outer disciple of the Xuan Dan Hall, and the other is the manager in charge of purchasing for the dining hall!

Yun Aotian glanced at the information on those people and put it aside, muttering to himself.

"This matter is of utmost importance. You should know how terrifying the Soul-Devouring Insects are. If we allow those things to proliferate, it will be disastrous."

"At most ten years, the Cloud Pill Sect probably won't produce any new alchemy masters. Are we going to have to rely on those toothless old fogies by then?"

Liu Yang was naturally aware of the seriousness of the matter, but at present, the various sects actually had no way to deal with the Soul-Devouring Insects.

In the past, if a sect was plagued by spirit-devouring insects, the only option was to resort to the most rudimentary method.

That is, to isolate this entire group of disciples and give them six months. If anyone can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, they will be brought back to the sect.

However, if one cannot break through to the Foundation Establishment stage within six months, then it will be necessary to open the abdomen and remove the worm...

Liu Yang's eyelids twitched, and that unforgettable image suddenly appeared in his mind.

Three years ago, the Underworld Sect, one of the five major sects that had been passed down for seven generations, was destroyed because its disciples were poisoned with the Soul-Devouring Insect Gu.

He would never forget the suffering of those disciples of the Underworld Sect who, despite decades of arduous cultivation, were unable to establish their foundation.

The disciples were filled with overwhelming killing intent as they cut open their own abdomens and pulled out the Soul-Devouring Worms that had prevented them from making any progress in their cultivation!

Just as the disciples of the Underworld Sect were retrieving the Gu, two other major sects stormed in.

Back then, Liu Yang was still an innocent boy, and the bloody flesh and intestines scattered all over the ground, along with the writhing worms, became his nightmare for many years.

Now, this nightmare has actually befallen the Cloud Pill Sect!

"No, no way! Aotian, since the pills refined by Su Li can force out the Spirit Devouring Worms in Chen Fengzi's body, they can definitely force out the Spirit Devouring Worms in the bodies of other disciples as well!"

If I had known she possessed such abilities, I would never have offended her... Aotian, our Yundan Sect... absolutely cannot come to its end..."

What young sect leader of the Hidden Dragon Sect? He's nothing but a stray dog.

He knew his father best, but what about his son? His father only had eyes for his sister, Liu Mengsha!

Yun Aotian took a deep breath.

"I have a plan for this matter, and I can make a decision once the Second Elder returns! What you need to do is to find the traitors within the sect."

Liu Yang! You have a part in the Yun Dan Sect too! Don't let me down... If... you can finally be your true self again...

Is this the real him? Liu Yang has almost forgotten what the real him looks like...

After bidding farewell to Yun Aotian, Liu Yang stepped out of the sect's main hall, raised his chin, and kicked a disciple of the Enforcement Hall who was waiting nearby.

"Let's go! I've been humiliated today. Take me to the Cloud Palace right now. I'm going to see if those brats have stolen any of the sect's medicinal herbs."

The disciple from the Enforcement Hall who had been kicked rubbed his buttocks and hurriedly crawled to Liu Yang's side.

"Yes, yes, boss! We'll do whatever you say. If you don't like anyone, just say so, and we brothers have plenty of ways to make you happy."

Liu Yang burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Inside the sect leader's main hall, only Yun Aotian remained.

He disregarded his image even more, and sat directly on the steps, taking out a wine jug.

With a slight tilt of the head back, the wine rolled down the throat and into the stomach!

"Drinking alcohol is bad for your health, Aotian, is this wine really that good?"

A woman completely shrouded in black robes slowly walked out from behind the main hall, her face covered by a black veil.

All I could see were a pair of eyes filled with exhaustion.

"My dear sister! You've had a hard time... Heh, having a useless brother like me has really been tough on you, sister."

Yun Xiaofeng shook her head and sat down next to Yun Aotian, gently removing his wine pot.

"Aotian, you're the one who's really suffering. If it weren't for your tireless efforts in supporting this sect, I'm afraid Father's hard work would have already..."

Yun Aotian licked his lips... and gave a bitter smile.

Who would have thought that Yun Aotian, the dignified sect leader of Yundan Sect, was actually nothing more than a cripple?

Born without any aptitude for cultivation, unable to refine his primordial inner fire, nor able to successfully establish his foundation...

Even with such a useless person, Sect Master Yun could not produce a second one.

What fifth-grade alchemy master, what the youngest and most promising sect leader of the Cloud Pill Sect, ha! It's all just this older sister acting as his substitute.

"Sister, I want to take a gamble... If I lose, the sect will be handed over to you!"

Yun Xiaofeng frowned slightly.

"Aotian! I swore to my father that I would always be loyal to you and never have any other thoughts!"

Yun Aotian shook his head, unsure how to explain.

He was actually a lost soul from another world who was born as an infant upon arriving in this world. He was initially filled with curiosity about this world.

He was filled with ambition for this continent brimming with spiritual energy and cultivation, but fate played a cruel trick on him.

A useless person is useless no matter where they go!

He, Yun Aotian, was a complete and utter waste.

He couldn't even match Chen Fengzi's bravery, and could only secretly take one pill after another.

But seeing those pills sink into his body without causing the slightest ripple...

Originally, he had given up struggling and only wanted to help his sister Yun Xiaofeng stabilize the sect in his own way, so he found an excuse to disappear into thin air.

But today he met the disciple who could create miracles, and he met such a persistent and calm Su Li!

He wanted to take one last gamble, hoping that she might be his salvation!

Inside the Earth Pill Hall, the atmosphere was heavier than ever before, and the outer disciples dared not even breathe.

Led by Ling Changfeng, all the disciples knelt outside Ge Cheng's door, including Luo Zhirou.

The door in front of them was not opened until it got dark.

Ge Cheng seemed to have aged ten years in a single day. Although he was angry, which of these disciples hadn't he carefully selected and sincerely taken under his wing?

"Alright! You may all leave! Starting tomorrow, no one is allowed to assist you when you are refining pills!"

If I find out you've sent others to help you, you'll be kicked out of my Earth Pill Hall immediately!

In the past, it was his idea to allow other disciples to assist him.

He believed that talent was the most important quality for an alchemist, and that those disciples with mediocre talent could never reach the top, no matter how hard they tried.

His true disciples are all outstanding individuals, and it's no problem for them to have others do those trivial matters for them.

But what happened to Su Li today was a slap in the face for him.

But it doesn't matter! He's just Su Li. No matter how outstanding she is, so what? She'll never surpass him!
