Shang Lin performed admirably during this monthly exam, without causing him any trouble. Whether it was due to his advancement or the upcoming Blood Moon, he finished the exam and went home with ease.

The disciples of the Yuntai Sect have been returning one after another and entering the Dragon Spirit Tower one after another, but Old Man Chai and the human employees have not taken a holiday and are still busy in the studio.

Since Shang Lin announced the team-building activity in the group chat to members of the sect, it naturally didn't include non-members. However, as everyone gradually returned, they learned what this team-building activity was all about—the Blood Moon.

Xing Tian, ​​this new ghost, naturally knew nothing about the Blood Moon. Perhaps because he was in the Dragon Spirit Tower, he didn't feel anything unusual.

Other oddballs include She Jinxing, who knows but doesn't feel anything—no, they deliberately avoid it; Ji Xiaoyao, who has experienced it; and outsiders like Shang Lin, who investigates and questions others, fearing something might go wrong tonight.

However, there were clouds tonight, and when the blood moon climbed into the night sky, only half of it was visible. Even so, the half that was visible seemed to be stained with an eerie red.

The light of the blood moon was like a demon's summons, causing the evil desires in the hearts of the wicked to swell infinitely. Those evil spirits that could only lurk in the shadows on ordinary days became unusually frenzied at this moment, their power seemingly greatly amplified.

Deep in the mountains, a group of evil spirits, influenced by the blood moon, coalesced into a powerful yin energy. Their previously blurry figures became clearly visible, their hideous faces twisted even more, as they all drifted towards the Divine Medicine Sect.

Every year on the night of the Blood Moon, the Divine Medicine Sect becomes the favorite place for evil spirits. However, the Divine Medicine Sect is a sect that relies on cultivating herbs, and its martial arts strength is not high, nor is its ability to exorcise evil spirits.

Especially in today's human world, where people rely on technology for survival, ancient martial artists, sorcerers, and magicians are extremely rare. On the contrary, precious medicinal herbs are scarce, making the Divine Medicine Sect practically a child with a mountain of gold.

However, Liu Nian was well-prepared this year. Not only did she protect all the precious herbs in the sect, but she also bought exorcism talismans from Shang Lin. Although they were exorcism talismans, the ones she bought from Shang Lin were completely different in power from those she bought from other places.

However, Liu Nian had miscalculated the human heart. Half an hour after the blood moon rose, flames soared into the sky inside the Divine Medicine Sect, followed by the sounds of fighting.

With a solemn expression, Liu Nian held his long sword and led his disciples out to check the situation. As a result, the evil spirits were blocked outside the mountain gate by Shang Lin's exorcism talisman, and only a few managed to break in. However, what was more ferocious than the evil spirits were the people.

Liu Nianyi looked over and saw that these people had come to their Divine Medicine Sect to ask for medicine before. Now, under the blood moon, he could see that they were emanating a strange black aura, as if they were demons from hell.

"Stop!" Liu Nian gripped her sword tightly and shouted, "What are you doing? With the Blood Moon before us, shouldn't we all be working together to fight the evil spirits? Why are you staining our Divine Medicine Sect with blood?"

The people stopped immediately when they saw Liu Nian appear. One of the middle-aged men stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and said, "Sect Leader Liu, you are mistaken. We chased the evil spirits to the Divine Medicine Sect, which has relieved the sect's crisis. We do not ask for your sect's precious herbs. We only ask that Sect Leader Liu sell us the Longevity Pill."

"An elixir of immortality?!"

Liu Nian was almost laughing in anger. So these people were after the elixir of immortality! But how could they have the audacity to come up with such a lame excuse?!

However, with so many people in front of him, Liu Nian knew that a direct confrontation was not an option. He had to stall for time and then find a way to ask for help. Even if he gave the "elixir of immortality" to the person he was asking for help, he couldn't let these hideous "evil spirits" benefit from it.

“Yes, the Longevity Pill.” Another person chimed in, “Sect Leader Liu, the Longevity Pill isn’t exactly a rare pill for your Divine Medicine Sect. Compared to a sect, which is more important, a single pill or a whole sect? I believe Sect Leader Liu knows better than anyone else.”

Not a rare elixir?!

Liu Nian gritted her teeth. The Longevity Pill was a divine medicine that could grant immortality and eternal youth. Since the sect's founding, they had only obtained one, but now...

It wasn't exactly a rare elixir anymore. Although it was currently in the Divine Medicine Sect's treasure vault, it was a genuine imitation. For the sake of the Divine Medicine Sect's prestige, no one except the successive sect leaders knew about it.

Even though it was a counterfeit, it was still a pill that could strengthen the body and prolong life. However, it still made all parties greedy and completely disregard past relationships.

The Blood Moon has truly given them a perfect excuse! But if the Divine Medicine Sect falls, how many precious medicinal herbs and life-saving remedies will the world lose?!

Suppressing her anger and sorrow, Liu Nian said, "As this gentleman said, although the Longevity Pill is not a rare pill, our Divine Medicine Sect only has one. Even if it is divided into several pieces, it is not enough for so many of you. I think it would be better to let the highest bidder win."

After saying that, Liu Nian used his hands behind his back to gesture to the disciples behind him, asking them to think of a way to ask for help. He couldn't think of any better or more effective way to ask for help at the moment!

Liu Nian's words clearly resonated with everyone, but if it weren't for the influence of the Blood Moon, they could still pretend to be virtuous gentlemen. But now, with the evil thoughts stirred up by the Blood Moon, everyone wanted to take it for free.

As for how to distribute them after they are obtained, that is their business. It has nothing to do with the Divine Medicine Sect or Liu Nian. So, some people who couldn't hold back flashed to Liu Nian's side.

He then said imperiously, "Liu Nian, don't be so stubborn. So many of us helped your Divine Medicine Sect get rid of the evil spirits' attack, and you still want to raise the price? You should offer it to us willingly."

Liu Nian's brows furrowed deeply, her eyes blazing with fury. "Hmph! You all really know how to twist the truth! My Divine Medicine Sect was prepared for tonight. If it weren't for your trespassing, not a single evil spirit would have entered. Now you've broken into my Divine Medicine Sect, injured my disciples, destroyed my medicinal herbs, and you expect us to be grateful and hand over the Longevity Pill? This is clearly robbery and theft; how are you any different from those evil spirits?" No, she was even more despicable than those evil spirits!

But at this moment, who among the crowd was listening to Liu Nian's words? They all chimed in, saying that Liu Nian was ungrateful, and some even shouted, "Why waste words with him? Just rob him!"

The disciples of the Divine Medicine Sect behind Liu Nian drew their swords and faced him head-on, none of them showing the slightest intention to back down, and the atmosphere became extremely tense.
