Feng Qiwu was deeply moved: "Thank you, my benefactor sister. You are indeed beautiful inside and out."
Then Ruoruo turned him back into a seedling and stuffed him directly into the healing potion. Yuebai quickly cast several restrictions to lock him inside and threw him into her pendant space.
Although Ruoruo had many magical artifacts for storing things, only the pendant given to him by Mo Yong could hold living beings.
It's too conspicuous for Feng Qiwu to stay outside, and he's not very bright. He might accidentally let something slip and cause trouble for them. It's better to let him stay in the box and rest for now.
When the time is right, I will release him and let him take me to the Realm of Immortality.
Ruoruo, with her clever and cunning nature, made a deafening sound with her abacus.
Feng Qiwu, who was confined in the box to cultivate, was still full of emotion.
Sure enough, the better-looking a person is, the kinder they are. Not only did they save him, they were also willing to take him back. That was wonderful.
At the same time, the entire Qing Alliance was almost turned upside down by that Grand Elder.
Yun Fei stopped him unhappily: "Perhaps it was a tribulation caused by the Grand Elder's poor alchemy. You've practically scraped up all the land in the alliance. If you keep making a scene like this, the Red Alliance next door will laugh at you to death."
The vice leader also fully supported Yun Fei, so even if the elder was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.
The woman in blue stamped her foot playfully, "Brother Yunfei! But the pills I lost are really important!"
“What pills did Miss Hua lose? Why don’t you tell me? If I can refine them, I will naturally refine them for you. If I can’t, I will ask the Vice Alliance Leader and the elders. If all else fails, I will ask the junior senior for help. Why put on such a show, as if you want to tear down my Green Alliance?”
Yun Fei spoke without any politeness, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in the blue-clad woman's eyes, but she forcibly suppressed it.
What they're doing is shady and can't be allowed to continue.
They've practically turned the entire Qingmeng Alliance upside down, so there's really no point in searching any further.
"Very well, I acted impulsively today. I apologize to everyone." The Grand Elder and the woman from the south exchanged a glance, preparing to search and investigate privately to let the matter rest.
As soon as Yun Fei left, they immediately sent a message to the prince: "The people of the Longevity Realm have been rescued, but they may be at risk of being exposed."
"I will send people to guard all the entrances and exits to the human realm, so they won't escape. The pills for this month cannot be delayed; they must be delivered as soon as possible. The situation in the underworld is too critical."
"Yes," the Grand Elder replied respectfully. "That young alchemist has been targeted by Prime Minister Zhao, and we will take action to seize him tomorrow night."
“That young alchemist is indeed extremely powerful, and perhaps he can be of some help to the current situation in the Underworld.” The prince on the other side hesitated for a moment, “I will go and consult the Emperor. You don’t need to worry about the rest; the Emperor will take care of it.”
"yes."
The long-distance communication talisman quickly burned out, and the Grand Elder turned to instruct, "His Highness still needs to continue refining pills, so you need to bring another batch of Longevity Clan members over."
The woman in blue snorted coldly: "Easy for you to say. Every time I bring these Longevity Clan members here, I take a huge risk. Now that the Lord of the Longevity Realm has discovered the anomaly, the clan is investigating. Where am I supposed to get them for you?"
Her eyes darted around: "Isn't that little girl quite capable? Sending her over to that prince might have a miraculous effect."
“Your Highness needs to consult His Majesty before taking action, and His Majesty may not be willing to intervene.” The Grand Elder hesitated for a moment. “Even if His Majesty agrees, Prime Minister Zhao will be taking people away tomorrow, and it may be too late for them to come over.”
"Let's detain them first. If we can really resolve the current crisis in the Underworld, it will be a great achievement," the woman in blue tempted.
"Very well, let's do it this way. It will at least make up for the loss of not being able to deliver the pills. I will secretly send people to look for those immortal clansmen. If we can't find them, we'll get the little girl and leave the human realm tomorrow." The Grand Elder made up his mind.
If their use of the immortal race for alchemy were exposed, they wouldn't be able to stay in the human realm.
On the other side, Ruoruo was asking Mo Jinyan about the cause and effect issue.
"Master extracted the immortal root of a fallen immortal to refine pills, and even that created a huge karmic debt, forcing him to hide in the academy. Why weren't the Grand Elder and the others entangled in this karmic debt?" Ruoruo asked.
Mo Jinyan recalled the scene of the Grand Elder and the others refining pills: "The pills they refined were very strange. Rather than killing people, they transformed them. Those pills locked their souls, but did not make them die. They just lived in another painful way. Since their lives were not harmed, they were naturally not tainted by the karma of life and death."
If these people are acquired through several sales in between, or if a contract is signed entrusting one's life to them, then there is no karmic connection whatsoever; it is merely a transaction, and they can be manipulated at will.
Ruoruo nodded thoughtfully, just as she used the duckweed to refine elixirs—it was the effect, not the cause, and naturally it would not harm her.
With Yun Fei's intervention, Ruoruo was not disturbed by the Grand Elder the next day. She finished teaching alchemy as usual, and then squatted in the room to watch Yuebai break the restriction.
Restrictions are also a type of rune array, but they are more complex than talismans.
Ruoruo watched with great interest and even tried to learn a few of the dishes herself.
“There are nine layers of restrictions on these boxes. I am not the owner of the restrictions, and I can only unlock one layer every two days. If Your Highness wants to question them, you will have to wait at least eighteen days,” Yuebai said somewhat embarrassedly.
Ruoruo waved her hand dismissively: "It's okay, they're still so weak anyway. We can give them some more pills in the next ten days so they can rest and recuperate properly."
The medicinal herbs and plants, with their gently swaying branches, seemed to bow in gratitude to Ruoruo.
Ruoruo poked them up with her finger: "When you come out in about ten days, just tell me what happened properly."
Since she had taken on this matter, she was determined to see it through to the end.
Having experienced the Yin family in the past, Ruoruo empathized with them and felt great sympathy for them.
Especially since these behind-the-scenes manipulators have even extended their reach to Third Brother's clansmen, she cannot sit idly by.
As night fell, Ruoruo heard no unusual sounds or smells, and happily transformed into a kitten, nuzzling the chubby little bird and playing and cuddling with him.
It seems their actions yesterday were effective; they immediately thwarted the Grand Elder's plans.
After fooling around for a while, the two little ones closed their eyes and began to cultivate. Since the spiritual energy in the human realm was not as abundant as that in the immortal realm, they had to cultivate more diligently in order to make any progress.
At the same time, two groups of people quietly approached the Green Alliance.
