At this moment, Lin Xiuyuan was still immersed in the words of the Golden Core cultivator. Although refining pills inevitably results in some impurities being absorbed into the body and dantian, this is common knowledge.
But I never expected it to be this serious?
It's affecting not only his Foundation Establishment stage, but also making it difficult for him to break through to the Great Perfection stage...
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan felt a sinking feeling in his heart, a strange sense of oppression.
However, upon hearing their conversation, Lin Xiuyuan immediately snapped out of his daze and hurriedly spoke up to prevent Liao Cai'er from offending this Golden Core cultivator and causing an irreparable situation. After all, this Golden Core cultivator was a demonic cultivator.
"Cai'er, listen to your senior. This is a great opportunity for you, don't miss it."
"As long as the path to immortality continues, there will be a day when we meet again. Don't you know my abilities? Don't worry about me!"
Seeing this, Liao Cai'er looked at Lin Xiuyuan with reluctance in her eyes, feeling a little hesitant and uneasy, but she also knew that Lin Xiuyuan was right.
Since we have no choice, we can only submit to the will of the strong, especially since this is also a tremendous opportunity!
"It was my rudeness, please forgive me, Master."
Liao Cai'er wasn't stupid to begin with. Realizing the situation, she quickly and respectfully cupped her hands and said:
"However, I have a request. Since my brother is not destined to go to the Yin Demon Sect with me, could you please ask those demonic cultivators not to hunt him down? If he can leave the Southern Border safely, I will be satisfied and have no more worries."
"And this person tried to kill me before; he's a disciple of the Golden Sea Sect."
As she finished speaking, Liao Cai'er glared fiercely at Li Hongfu.
Li Hongfu was filled with fear. After the short old man appeared, seeing that it was none of his business and that he was not paying attention to him, he remained silent, hoping that a change in the situation would occur.
Hearing Liao Cai'er's words, he felt a shiver run down his spine. Seeing the short old man's indifferent gaze, he was filled with intense fear.
"I... I am a disciple of the Golden Sea Sect, but I am also willing to join the Demonic Sect. I can even return to Beihefang City as a spy. Senior, spare my life! I didn't intend to kill this little girl, I only wanted to kill that..."
Before he could finish speaking, the short old man looked at him and said indifferently, "Noisy."
With a flick of his sleeve, chilling demonic energy burst forth, carrying an inexplicably terrifying power that inspired an irresistible force.
"No, please spare my life, senior..."
Terrified, Li Hongfu immediately used all his escape techniques and protective methods in an attempt to survive.
But with two vastly different realms, how could they possibly contend with each other in the slightest?
All the protective measures, including the magic shield and the spiritual shield, shattered instantly, and the demonic energy poured into his body.
In the blink of an eye, Li Hongfu, amidst screams, gradually turned into a dried-up corpse.
The wisps of demonic energy, seemingly tinged with crimson, drifted out and returned to the short old man's sleeves.
Seeing Liao Cai'er's respectful demeanor and realizing that she had finally understood the situation, the short old man nodded in satisfaction: "Approved. This is my gift to you. It's good that you can be free from all worries. From now on, follow me and cultivate diligently. This is a great opportunity that many people would rather die for."
Then, streams of magical power emanated from the short old man, lifting the two of them up into the sky.
A token suddenly floated down and landed in front of Lin Xiuyuan.
A voice then entered his ears, "Hold the token and travel a hundred miles southeast, then you can safely return to Nanzhou."
Lin Xiuyuan didn't have time to think. He grabbed the token and quickly looked up. He saw Liao Cai'er's reluctant face appearing amidst the swirling demonic energy.
"Brother Xiuyuan, wait for me, wait until I have achieved success in my cultivation before I come to find you..."
In the distance, Lin Xiu seemed to hear a faint voice.
Then, their figures gradually turned into small black dots and disappeared completely into the horizon...
For a moment, Lin Xiuyuan felt a void in his heart, as if he had been relieved of some responsibility, or as if he had lost something precious.
Liao Cai'er ascended to the Supreme Path in one fell swoop, and Li Hongfu, this big trouble, was solved again.
It should have been a time of joy and happiness.
After all, Liao Cai'er's original situation was that she only wanted to break through the mortal realm and enter the profound realm to become a cultivator, and her path to immortality was hopeless. Now, however, she suddenly has a chance to achieve the Great Dao.
But his heart was filled with complex and indescribable emotions.
After all, he had entered the demonic sect!
"Although she has entered the Demonic Sect, it is a blessing rather than a curse. Being able to enter the Golden Core Sect is an opportunity that many people dream of! With a Golden Core True Person as her backer, the cruel things in the ordinary Demonic Sect should not endanger Cai'er."
Although a turning point had appeared, things did not go as planned. But since things had come to this, Lin Xiuyuan could only console himself with this thought and try to calm his complicated emotions.
Lin Xiuyuan looked down at the token in his hand and found that it was made entirely of magical power, its whole body shimmering with a faint light, as if it would automatically dissipate when the time limit was up.
Recalling all the strange things that had happened before, and remembering the words of the short old man.
"It seems that the evacuation plan of Beihefang City has been completely exposed. There are probably some unknown secrets hidden inside. Could it be that some higher-level figure followed the evacuation?"
"Otherwise, how could it have attracted the attention of a Golden Core cultivator, and why would it have taken a hundred miles to completely escape the demonic path's search range?"
Lin Xiuyuan shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it any longer.
Then, Lin Xiuyuan looked to the side and stepped forward.
"Father, quickly, swallow this pill, I'll help you refine it..."
"Waaah, Dad, you absolutely can't get hurt!"
Qin Suwan burst into tears, her face filled with sorrow and extreme anxiety.
