Chapter 022: Chaos Yin Poison

The Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace is famous!

Now, under Lu Ye’s vigorous shouting, it has naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Many alchemists cast admiring glances.

What a kid, voice so powerful, he looks like a promising alchemist!

“Only the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit? Will you trade for anything else?”

“No trades, just the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit!”

Lu Ye’s stance was crystal clear; he didn’t even want any pills made with the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit as the main ingredient—he only wanted the fruit itself.

After all, this was the Grand Dao Sect, rich in resources.

In just half an hour, someone rushed over with the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit in hand.

“I’ll trade! I’ll trade!”

The foolish ones were still arguing with Lu Ye about whether pills containing the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit could substitute the fruit itself, while the smart ones had already gone off to find a whole fruit.

Mission accomplished!

With all three items in hand, Lu Ye rushed straight to the sect.

At the sect.

Chu Ling was waiting early, holding a box of pastries.

Seeing Lu Ye approach, her eyes lit up as she hurriedly greeted him.

“Young Master, I made your favorite mung bean cake!”

Lu Ye completely missed her, walking right out of the sect.

A normal magic sword flew up, and Lu Ye stepped on it, transforming into a streak of light that quickly vanished.

Chu Ling felt no disappointment. The magic sword shot out in response, and she hopped on it, chasing after Lu Ye.

…

Bai Qiulan’s Dao Academy.

Sun Ruowei paced anxiously back and forth at the door.

What the heck? Why did it suddenly unleash such a terrifying chill? Did something go wrong in her cultivation?

In Bai Qiulan’s training room, frost had already frozen everything, and the terrifying aura of Yin Power was seeping all around.

Yue Hongling rushed over in a hurry.

Upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Why is the Chaos Yin Poison acting up so early?”

It shouldn’t be happening now; the Chaos Yin Poison was supposed to emerge only in the Unity of Dao Realm.

Hearing this, Sun Ruowei quickly asked, “Hongling, what is the Chaos Yin Poison? Do you know?”

After speaking, Yue Hongling immediately realized she had misspoken.

However, since Sun Ruowei was the best friend of her Master, she couldn’t hide it and decided to explain.

“Because of the Master’s constitution, it leads to a constant accumulation of Yin Power. When there’s too much Yin Power, it coagulates into a liquid state. This liquid Yin Power is extremely cold and induces excruciating cold pain, which is the Chaos Yin Poison,” Yue Hongling explained.

“Ah? What do we do then? Is there any solution?”

“There is! Master has found a solution. Don’t worry, I’m just surprised the Chaos Yin Poison is acting up before reaching the Unity of Dao Realm, while Master hasn’t even achieved it yet.”

Sun Ruowei, upon hearing this, instinctively felt something wasn’t right.

Unity of Dao Realm.

This was the realm pursued by countless cultivators.

Even the Grand Dao Sect, as a top faction, didn’t have Unity of Dao Realm members just lying around.

And Yue Hongling was only at the Yuan Dan Realm; how could she speak of it so casually, seeming so familiar with the Unity of Dao Realm without a hint of reverence?

“Is there really a solution?”

Sun Ruowei double-checked.

“Yes!”

The solution was discovered by Senior Brother, who had been troubled by the Chaos Yin Poison for many years. Senior Brother spent years searching for a remedy.

But Yin and Yang powers are two of the strongest forces in the natural world.

Finding a solution is extremely difficult.

Still, Yue Hongling was confident in Lu Ye.

Hearing that there was a solution lifted Sun Ruowei’s spirits.

That’s good, that’s good.

At this moment, all the oddities of late resurfaced in Sun Ruowei’s mind.

A curious urge to gossip began to emerge.

“Hongling!”

“Aunt, what’s wrong?”

Sun Ruowei considered her words carefully. “So, what’s the deal with Chu Ling? What’s her relationship with Lu Ye?”

Yue Hongling’s expression slightly stiffened.

She wasn’t stupid.

“Why do you ask about that? I remember you don’t know either Chu Ling or Lu Ye, right?”

“Who says I don’t know? Chu Ling almost died recently, and wasn’t I the one who saved her? I’m practically her life-saver!”

“Plus, I thought Chu Ling was quite well-behaved. I planned to take her as a disciple, but she has no plans to take a master for now. I even helped her enter the Grand Dao Sect.”

“But such a good girl now appears so humble before Lu Ye; I just can’t comprehend that and it pains me.”

Yue Hongling nodded, completely ignoring Sun Ruowei’s sentiments.

“Chu Ling just joined; I haven’t interacted with her much, so I don’t know their situation.”

“You really don’t know?” Sun Ruowei squinted her eyes.

“Really don’t know!”

The two stared at each other, and Yue Hongling looked as sincere as can be.

Sun Ruowei couldn’t find any loopholes, so she had to let it go for the moment.

In Bai Qiulan’s room, a powerful aura erupted; Bai Qiulan, already at the peak of the Refining Void Realm, began to break through.

Today, she planned to break through to the Unity of Dao Realm.

“She’s breaking through?”

Sun Ruowei was shocked yet delighted.

Yue Hongling looked toward the room, her expression not filled with joy, but rather tinged with worry.

Unity of Dao Realm.

This was a watershed moment for the true eruption of the Yin Divine Body.

Once Bai Qiulan broke through, the terrifying nature of the Yin Divine Body would finally show its fangs.

In the past, whenever they helped their Master deal with the Chaos Yin Poison, it was always Senior Brother assisting them; now, trouble had brewed between them and Senior Brother.

Senior Brother wouldn’t help anymore.

And Master definitely wouldn’t let Senior Brother assist either.

So what would they do about the Chaos Yin Poison?

Inside the room.

Bai Qiulan was stepping toward the Unity of Dao Realm; for other cultivators, this would be an insurmountable feat, but for her, it was not difficult at all.

Only that drop of Chaos Yin Poison was what Bai Qiulan took most seriously.

Why is this happening?

Bai Qiulan’s face turned grim.

Next to her Yuan Ying, a drop of Chaos Yin Poison transformed into intense Yin energy under the operation of the Great Yin Transformation Scripture, flowing through her limbs and meridians, increasing her aura.

Bai Qiulan halted her cultivation.

The remaining Yin energy condensed again, turning back into a drop of Chaos Yin Poison.

Bai Qiulan was unconvinced and began to operate her technique once more.

The Chaos Yin Poison dissipated again.

Her aura increased again, and when she stopped cultivating, the Yin Power coalesced once more, still a drop of Chaos Yin Poison reappearing.

Why is this happening?

Bai Qiulan opened her eyes, panic and disbelief in her gaze.

How could this be?

In her past life, she needed Lu Ye’s help during the early stages; they cultivated with secret methods, and her Yin and Yang energies would blend, the Chaos Yin Poison would spread out and not congeal again at all.

Later on, after great effort, she obtained the Great Yin Transformation Scripture and no longer needed Lu Ye’s help, managing to dispel the Chaos Yin Poison herself.

Now, this is the Great Yin Transformation Scripture!

Why isn’t it dissipating the Chaos Yin Poison like before?

Panic began to well up inside her.

After multiple attempts, she finally reached the Unity of Dao Realm.

And that drop of stubborn Chaos Yin Poison was thoroughly consumed during the breakthrough process.
