At this moment, Bai Ying had already entered the Xuan Tian Sect's mountain gate with Ting Lan Zhenren and Wei Ji.

With the mountain-protecting formation fully activated, the seventy-two peaks appeared and disappeared amidst the swirling clouds and mist, and the clear cries of cranes echoed through the valleys.

Master Tinglan personally arranged a cave dwelling for her on Qixia Peak. The steps were made of white jade, and the fence was made of purple bamboo. The spiritual energy was so rich that it was almost tangible.

"Young friend Bai," he stroked his long beard and smiled, "if you are willing, the position of elder of the Xuantian Sect is open to you."

Bai Ying gazed at the Lingxiao Sect's sect token in her divine sense and said softly, "You are too kind, Master, but..." She recounted her existing sect and the deep-seated hatred she had, "I'm afraid I can no longer join any other sects."

Upon hearing this, Master Tinglan sighed deeply. How could he not be envious of such a brilliant and talented disciple? But seeing Bai Ying's resolute expression, he had no choice but to give up. It was already a blessing for the Xuantian Sect to be able to form a good relationship with such a person.

"Master." Bai Ying suddenly took out three white jade bottles. The bottles were translucent, and one could vaguely see the seven-colored light flowing through the pills inside. "I actually stayed inside the Bronze Gate for a hundred years before I was able to make a breakthrough in such a short time. I exhausted all my savings during those hundred years. These are but a small token... a token of my respect..."

When Master Tinglan received the jade bottle, it was slightly cool to the touch. The moment he uncorked the jade bottle, a simple medicinal fragrance wafted out. He was somewhat puzzled; this was clearly the scent of the most basic Qi-Nourishing Pill.

The White Fairy probably wouldn't give her such a common Minor Essence Pill.

Seeing the doubt in Master Tinglan's eyes, Bai Ying smiled slightly: "Please, Master, test the elixir."

Master Tinglan picked up a pill with some skepticism.

The moment the pill entered his throat, his aged body trembled violently. His previously cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with a terrifying light, and an indescribable vitality burst forth from the small Qi-Nourishing Pill. His withered hand visibly filled out.

This is no ordinary Qi-Nourishing Pill!

The elixir transformed into a warm current that flowed through his limbs and bones, and he clearly felt that his depleted life force was starting to turn again.

Even more terrifying is that this seemingly ordinary pill actually contains a full ten years of lifespan!

"This...this..." Master Tinglan's voice trembled, and the veins on his hands, which held the jade bottles, bulged. Three bottles of pills, one hundred pills in each bottle—this was...three thousand years of lifespan! This was not a mere token of respect; it was clearly a life-saving grace!

The clear cry of a crane drifted from afar, but it couldn't drown out the thunderous pounding of the old man's heart. His aged face flushed with excitement, and even his breathing became rapid.

"This... I'll accept it with my utmost shame!" Master Tinglan's voice choked with emotion. If it were any other treasure, he might have refused, but this longevity elixir was like a second life to him, whose lifespan was nearing its end. He carefully and solemnly tucked the jade bottle into his inner robe, but then felt it was inappropriate, so he hid it deep within the depths of his divine consciousness, only then feeling slightly at ease.

Just as Master Tinglan was eager to summon the sect elders to discuss this matter, Bai Ying suddenly spoke up: "Master, please wait, there is something else I need to tell you."

She recounted in detail how Liu Yingjie had betrayed her. At the crucial point, Master Tinglan flew into a rage, his spiritual energy surging, causing the jade artifacts within the cave to vibrate loudly: "You wicked creature! I will go and punish you!"

"Wait a minute." Bai Ying raised her hand to stop her. "This Liu Yingjie is just a minor character. What we really need to be concerned about is the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect behind him."

Her gaze grew cold. "Previously, your sect's traitor Chu Wuchen defected to the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, and now another disciple has been bribed. It seems the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's infiltration of the Xuan Tian Sect is far deeper than we imagined."

Upon hearing this, Master Tinglan's face flushed red with shame and anger. As the head of a sect, to allow an enemy force to plant spies right under his nose was an utter disgrace.

Seeing this, Bai Ying curled her lips into a cold smile: "Master, there's no need to worry. I have a solution that will solve everything once and for all."

"What method?" Master Tinglan looked up in confusion.

"It's very simple." Bai Ying lightly stroked the longsword at her waist, the scabbard gleaming with a cold light. "Uproot the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect completely and eradicate it."

Master Tinglan gasped, staring incredulously at the seemingly frail woman before him.

The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect is one of the nine major sects, with three experts at the Nascent Soul stage, not to mention the unfathomable Poison Venerable Ancestor Yan Jiuyou.

"Young friend Bai, regarding this matter..."

"Don't worry, Master." Bai Ying interrupted him, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "I know what I'm doing. The Ten Thousand Poisons Sect and I have a blood feud."

Not to mention that Yan Jiuyou and Mo Qianjiu wanted her dead, the fact that she was ambushed and killed by numerous sect cultivators was also due to the tracking mark placed on her by the Wan Du Sect cultivators. "This is a good opportunity to settle both old and new scores."

She turned to look at the distant sea of ​​clouds. Yan Jiuyou, the most powerful Poison Master of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, had already died at the hands of Senior Bai Li. The remaining one was at most at the Nascent Soul stage.

This is the perfect opportunity to wipe out the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect.

After discussing their strategy, Master Tinglan returned to the sect's main hall, a smile he couldn't hide on his face.

He deliberately took his time to take out three white jade bottles and lined them up in front of the elders.

"Fellow disciples," he stroked his long beard, a sly glint in his eyes, "I've acquired a few bottles of Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pills today. Is any of you interested?"

An uproar immediately erupted inside the hall.

"Senior Brother, have you become confused from too much seclusion?" The Second Elder scoffed, flicking his wide sleeves as he prepared to rise. "A mere Minor Qi Cultivation Pill is enough to summon all the sect elders? I have enough in my alchemy room to eat like candy!"

"Exactly!" The Third Elder slammed his teacup down on the table, spilling a few drops of fine spiritual tea. "I thought I'd discovered an ancient secret realm, but this is all? Let's go, my Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is at a crucial moment!"

Master Tinglan stroked his long beard, a sly glint in his eyes: "Hahaha, good! Good! You yourselves didn't want it." He deliberately twirled the jade bottle in his hand. "But... such a fine thing, shouldn't you try a piece before you leave?"

"Try it my foot!" The Second Elder slammed his hand on the table, making the spiritual fruits on it bounce. "Try it yourself! Do you think we're three-year-olds to be fooled?"

"Exactly!" The Third Elder had already stood up and was walking out. "The Sect Leader is getting old and senile. I can have as many Lesser Qi-Nourishing Pills as I want; who cares about his?"

Master Tinglan slowly poured out a pill. The pill was pure white, yet its surface shimmered with seven-colored light, appearing exceptionally mysterious under the reflection of the pearl in the hall. He deliberately and leisurely put the pill into his mouth amidst the disapproving gazes of the elders.

In an instant, an astonishing change occurred...
