Immortality begins with Becoming an Alchemy Grandmaster - Chapter 495 - 213: The one who breaks the rules, the crazy Nangong Jinl

Chapter 495: Chapter 213: The one who breaks the rules, the crazy Nangong Jinl

“Aunt, something doesn’t seem right up ahead!”

Li Ao quickly knocked on the door of a quiet room in the flying boat.

The door opened, and Li Yixian floated out.

She tilted her head upward, her bright eyes gazing at the towering plains; massive stone pillars transformed into stone dragons, alive and stirring.

Resounding sounds of intense battle filled the air in an instant.

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, Li Yixian appeared puzzled and uneasy.

“It seems like Luo Chen and the others have run into trouble?”

Li Ao was taken aback. “Should we go to give them reinforcements?”

Li Yixian pressed her lips tightly as she looked at the Li Family cultivators who were setting up camp nearby.

She took a deep breath, fixing Li Ao with an intense gaze.

“You stay here and lead a patrol around this area. Don’t let your guard down.”

“I will go alone to assess the situation.”

“Yes!”

Without further hesitation, Li Yixian leapt into the air.

As she streaked across the sky at high speed, her form began to fade under the operation of the Spiritual Secrets.

Huayin Mantra!

One of the three major second-order cultivation techniques passed down through the Li Family, it can only be cultivated by individuals possessing the Huayin Physique.”

Li Yixian happens to be someone with the Huayin Physique.

With the help of this cultivation method, she reached the Qi Refinement Stage Finalization at the age of forty-two.

However, despite her rapid cultivation, breaking through to the next stage was incredibly difficult.

It took a long time before she barely managed to reach foundation establishment.

After establishing her foundation, her demand for resources increased significantly.

Despite her good physique, her Spirit Root aptitude wasn’t up to scratch.

Years have passed since then, and she is only at the second layer of foundation establishment.

However, owing to this profound cultivation technique, she excels significantly in stealth, survival, and speed.

Once she enters stealth mode, very few could see through her disguise.

Luo Chen was able to see her because they were close, and his perception was strong.

As Li Yixian was about to get close to Gaoling Plains –

Unexpectedly-

She abruptly stopped.

A pair of sharp eyes, like that of a hawk, was staring fixedly at her from the sky above.

No, those were the eyes of a hawk!

“Sister Xian, stop right there!”

A soft, gentle voice drifted from above, and the dark clouds in the sky dispersed.

An attractive woman donned in an intricately designed dress was standing on the back of a giant hawk.

The hawk was adorable and obedient, with bright, green feathers and a touch of white on its head, making it seem like a magic beast from a fairy world.

Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!

Second Order Demon Beast!

Li Yixian’s face paled as she decloaked from her hidden state.

Looking at the beautiful woman, she asked hesitantly, “Sister Rou, you intentionally brought your inherited spirit beast, the Jade Feathered White Hawk, here. Could it be that you intend to target me?”

The beautiful woman was none other than the Yu Family clan chief, Yu Rou from Yi Hua Mountain.

With a sigh, she said, “I wish not to, but as you know, the Yu Family is about to form a marriage alliance with the Huo Family. Huo Hu has a request to make of me, how could I refuse?”

“And also, it’s not like I’m ‘targeting’ you.”

Her gaze shifted to the war that was breaking out in the distance.

She whispered, “As long as you don’t get involved in this battle, and hand over that magic item you acquired at the auction earlier. I can guarantee that Huo Hu and his parties won’t lay their hands on your clan.”

Li Yixian scoffed, “How very unscrupulous of Huo Hu. He wants to rob back an item that was sold at his own auction?”

Yu Rou simply shook her head and sighed.

This act was indeed underhanded. If the ancestor of the Huo Family hadn’t been in closed-door cultivation, he would never allow something like this to happen.

But who was to say, since it’s currently Huo Hu who holds the power?

Seeing that Yu Rou was not willing to back down, Li Yixian stubbornly asked: “What if I refuse?”

She had used all the savings of the Li Family accumulated over many years for that magic item.

Her intentions were to nurture it well so that she could better protect her family in the future.

And now, she was expected to hand it over willingly?

Who would be willing to? Who would be content to let it go?

Yu Rou shook her head. “You’ve only had that magic item for a few days, there’s no way you’ve managed to nurture it properly. At most, you can bring out one or two tenths of its power.”

“Your excellent stealth techniques are useless under the gaze of the Jade Feathered White Hawk.”

“In other words, you are no match for me.”

Hearing this, Li Yixian’s heart sank further.

And still, Yu Rou kept on advising.

“Even if you’re not considering for yourself, you should at least consider…”

“How dare you!”

Li Yixian suddenly raised her head and glared at her like a protective mother tiger.

A sharp sword shimmering in her hand.

Yu Rou fell silent, just quietly watching her.

Gradually, Li Yixian’s strength ebbed away as she relaxed her grip, the sword quietly pointing down in front of her.

“Yu Rou, are you sure you can keep my Li Family safe from Huo Hu?”

“If he goes back on his word, you can escape on your own. I won’t stand in your way. With your abilities, apart from sacrificing some dignity, who in the Huo Family could possibly stop you?”

Her teeth biting her red lips, Li Yixian gazed intently towards the direction of Gaoling Plains.

“But what about Luo Chen…”

“I don’t know what kind of agreement you’ve made with Luo Chen.” Yu Rou stated calmly. “But at least for now, you won’t be able to cross this barrier I’ve set up and rush to their aid.”

The night wind blew across.

Li Yixian stood in front of a woman and a hawk, feeling completely powerless.

Her family’s fate lay in the hands of others, her allies under siege.

And yet she was powerless to do anything.

Once one leaves their homeland, do they truly become powerless?

Suddenly, she turned to look behind her.

Raging fires that reached the sky were bursting forth from the night, rising higher and higher.

Turning back around, she looked at Yu Rou with a horrified expression.

“You’ve also taken action against the Nangong Family?”

Fire!

A sky full of raging fire!

In Nangong Jin’s field of vision, fiery dragons rampaged everywhere, completely cutting off the Nangong family’s camp.

“Who are these despicable people daring to provoke my Nangong Family?”

He was a mixture of shock and anger.

A scroll spread open before him, the illustrations appearing like a vast ocean or a huge marshland.

Spirit Power was surging, countless Gui Water True Essences poured out, transforming into a massive river..
