The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 22: Chaos and Viciousness

The Nine Dragons Treasure Furnace was well-known.

Now, under Lu Ye’s loud shouts, it naturally drew the attention of many.

Numerous alchemists turned their gaze toward him with admiration.

What a kid, his voice is so full of energy; he definitely has the potential to be a great alchemist.

"Only the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit? Won't you accept anything else in exchange?"

"No, only the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit!"

Lu Ye’s attitude was firm, even rejecting elixirs that used the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit as a primary ingredient. He only wanted the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit itself.

Such was the Grand Dao Sect, full of resources.

Within just half an hour, someone came rushing over with a Xuan Yin Soul Fruit.

"I'll trade it! I'll trade it!"

Foolish people were still debating with Lu Ye whether elixirs containing the Xuan Yin Soul Fruit could replace the fruit itself. Meanwhile, the smarter ones had already gone to find a complete Xuan Yin Soul Fruit.

Got it!

With all three items in hand, Lu Ye immediately headed back toward the sect.

At the sect.

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

When she saw Lu Ye coming, her eyes lit up, and she hurried to meet him.

"Young master, I made your favorite mung bean cakes."

Lu Ye's figure brushed past her, leaving the sect.

A common flying sword soared into the air, and Lu Ye stepped on it, turning into a streak of light that rapidly disappeared.

Chu Ling didn’t feel disappointed. The magic sword flew out at once, and she stepped on it, chasing after Lu Ye.

...

Bai Qiulan’s Daoist temple.

Sun Ruowei paced anxiously back and forth at the door.

What happened? How did such terrifying cold energy suddenly burst forth uncontrollably? What went wrong with the cultivation?

Through the door, one could see that Bai Qiulan’s cultivation room had already been frozen by frost, and the power of Taiyin was radiating a terrifying aura.

Yue Hongling hurried over as well.

Upon seeing this scene, she couldn’t help but ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) exclaim, "How could the Taiyin Poison flare up so early?"

This shouldn’t be, the Taiyin Poison should only manifest at the Dao Integration Realm.

Sun Ruowei, upon hearing this, hurriedly asked, "Hongling, what is the Taiyin Poison? Do you know?"

Yue Hongling immediately realized she had misspoken.

However, since Sun Ruowei was the best friend of their master and the Taiyin Poison couldn’t be hidden from her, she decided to explain.

"Due to the nature of our master’s body, the Taiyin energy keeps accumulating. When it accumulates too much, it condenses into a liquid form. This liquid Taiyin energy is incredibly cold, causing excruciatingly cold pain. This is the Taiyin Poison," Yue Hongling explained.

"Ah? What should we do? Is there any way to solve it?"

"There is! Master has found a solution. Don’t worry, Master, I’m just surprised that the Taiyin Poison, which should only flare up at the Dao Integration Realm, appeared so early, before Master even reached that stage."

Upon hearing this, Sun Ruowei instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Dao Integration Realm.

It was the realm pursued by countless cultivators.

Even the Grand Dao Sect, as a top-tier sect, didn’t have Dao Integration cultivators just lying around.

But Yue Hongling was only at the Core Formation Realm, and based on her tone, she seemed incredibly familiar with the Dao Integration Realm, with no hint of awe at all.

"Is there really a solution?"

Sun Ruowei asked again, confirming.

"There is!"

The solution was found by Senior Brother. In the previous life, the Taiyin Poison troubled Master for many years, and Senior Brother spent years searching for a solution.

But the Taiyin and Yang energies were the two strongest forces under the chaos of the heavens and earth.

To resolve it was extremely difficult.

But Yue Hongling still had great confidence in Lu Ye.

Hearing that there was a solution, Sun Ruowei couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

That’s good, that’s good.

At that moment, all the strange events from the past period resurfaced in Sun Ruowei’s mind.

A sense of gossip began to stir within her.

"Hongling!"

"Master, what’s wrong?"

Sun Ruowei hesitated for a moment before asking, "What’s the deal with Chu Ling? What is her relationship with Lu Ye?"

Yue Hongling’s expression stiffened slightly.

She wasn’t stupid.

"Why are you asking about this, Master? I remember you don’t know Chu Ling, and you don’t know Lu Ye either?"

"Who said I don’t know? Not long ago, Chu Ling almost died, didn’t I save her? I could say I’m her lifesaver."

"And I think that Chu Ling is quite obedient. I originally wanted to take her as a disciple, but she’s not intending to take a master for now. When she entered the Grand Dao Sect, I even helped."

"But such a good girl, now she’s so humble before Lu Ye, I really don’t understand, and it hurts me."

Yue Hongling nodded, completely ignoring the topic Sun Ruowei was bringing up.

"Chu Ling has just entered the sect, and I haven’t had much contact with her, so I don’t know what their situation is."

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

"I really don’t know!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, and Yue Hongling’s gaze was so sincere and straightforward.

Sun Ruowei couldn’t find any cracks in her words, so she had to put her doubts aside for now.

At this moment, inside Bai Qiulan’s room, a powerful aura erupted. Bai Qiulan, who had already reached the peak of the Virtual Realm, began her breakthrough.

She was about to break through to the Dao Integration Realm today.

"Has she broken through?"

Sun Ruowei was both shocked and delighted.

Yue Hongling looked at the room, her expression lacking joy and instead carrying a hint of worry.

Dao Integration Realm.

This was a watershed moment for the true power of the Taiyin Divine Body to be unleashed.

Once Bai Qiulan broke through to Dao Integration, the terrifying power of the Taiyin Divine Body would finally show its fangs.

In the past, whenever they helped their Master with the Taiyin Poison, it was always Senior Brother who assisted. But now, they had all fallen out with Senior Brother.

Senior Brother wouldn’t help anymore.

And Master certainly wouldn’t let Senior Brother help.

So, what should be done about the Taiyin Poison?

Inside the room.

Bai Qiulan was stepping toward the Dao Integration Realm. For other cultivators, this breakthrough would be extremely difficult, but for her, it was not hard at all.

It was only the drop of Chaos Yin Poison that weighed heavily on Bai Qiulan.

Why was this happening?

Bai Qiulan’s face darkened.

Beside her Nascent Soul, a drop of Chaos Yin Poison condensed. Under the operation of the "Taiyin Transforming Sacred Scripture," it quickly transformed into a dense Taiyin energy. This Taiyin energy circulated through her limbs and meridians, with a substantial amount entering her Nascent Soul, causing her aura to increase.

Bai Qiulan paused her cultivation.

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

Bai Qiulan refused to give up. She activated her cultivation technique once more.

The Chaos Yin Poison dissipated again.

Her aura grew again. But when she stopped cultivating, the Taiyin energy once more condensed, and the drop of Chaos Yin Poison appeared again.

Why was this happening?

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

How could this be?

In her previous life, she needed Lu Ye's help early on. The two practiced in secret, using their special techniques to balance her Taiyin and Yang energies, allowing the Chaos Yin Poison to dissipate without any sign of reforming.

Later on, after struggling greatly, she obtained the "Taiyin Transforming Sacred Scripture" and no longer needed Lu Ye’s help. She was able to eliminate the Chaos Yin Poison by herself.

But now, she was using the "Taiyin Transforming Sacred Scripture"!

Why couldn’t it drive away the Chaos Yin Poison as it had before?

A sense of panic surged within her.

After repeatedly circulating her technique, she finally reached the Dao Integration Realm.

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