Upon receiving the Prime Minister's plan, the Grand Elder immediately began to rearrange his words: "Yun Fei, I contacted the Prime Minister's residence because I wanted to send her into the Priest Tower through the Prime Minister's residence."
My heart is set on the well-being of humanity! But you brought her into the palace intending to make her your royal family's alchemist; your motives are far too narrow, and I absolutely disagree.”
"My father cares deeply for the human race and would never do such a thing as hiding his own secrets!"
He will surely investigate the origins of this young senior, and then invite her into the priest's tower to use the Nine Cauldrons to benefit the human race.
But if she falls into the hands of the Prime Minister's mansion, she might become the Prime Minister's private alchemist. "Yun Fei retorted directly.
The Grand Elder was not to be outdone, and the two sides started arguing.
The vice leader listened for a while, found their point of contention, and decisively interrupted them: "Alright, stop arguing. The ultimate goal of both of you is to send her into the Priest Tower, use the Nine Cauldrons to enhance the human race's fortune, find the alchemy method, and refine more top-grade pills. You both care about the human race."
However, Young Master Yun does not trust the Prime Minister's Mansion, but trusts the Emperor more, while the Grand Elder trusts the Prime Minister's Mansion more than the royal family.
"Since that's the case, why not let her stay in the Azure Alliance for a few more days, so that the Lord can investigate her background, and then the two sides can meet together and send her directly to the Priest Tower?"
He proposed a compromise.
Yun Fei and the Grand Elder remained deadlocked for a long time, unable to reach a conclusion.
After a moment's consideration, the two agreed to what the vice leader said.
The other elders also breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. Yun Fei, you are familiar with that young senior. From what you've said, she is someone who is very fond of teaching. Since you're staying in the Qing Alliance these few days, why don't you ask her if she can give a lecture to us and the other disciples in the Dao Discussion Hall?"
Upon hearing this, the vice leader nodded repeatedly: "That day he only gave you a little guidance on alchemy, and you seemed to have gained something. If she is willing to preach, it would be a good thing for us."
Yun Fei recalled the way the little girl looked at him, as if he were an elder looking at a junior, and couldn't help but show a slightly embarrassed expression: "I'll go ask first."
In this way, Ruoruo's decision to stay or leave has been made.
The Grand Elder relayed this message directly to the Prime Minister's residence.
Prime Minister Zhao immediately mobilized all the secret guards that Ming Ye had left him, and to ensure that nothing went wrong, he even recalled the hidden immortal from the outside world.
"That immortal is helping the god set up an array; he will return in three days."
Prime Minister Zhao decisively said, "Three days later, we will raid the Green Alliance at night and bring the person back."
At the same time, Zi Manqing also received news that Ruoruo would stay in the human realm and reside in the Danhui Qingmeng.
“The human race is weak. The highest-ranking cultivators in the entire royal city are only two Immortals. Yan Ruoruo and Mo Jinyan only have one Immortal with them, so their martial defenses are not strong,” Lin Ye said.
Zi Manqing sneered: "I lost my father and became a slave to a weapon because of her family, yet she travels around the six realms so freely? She's dreaming!"
"How does Your Highness plan to proceed?" Lin Ye calculated the forces at his disposal. "There are four demon generals who can be mobilized, comparable to immortals. The immortals in the human realm are guarding the priest tower and the palace, so they won't interfere. Sending one demon general with a few junior officers will be enough to kill them."
"Kill her? Wouldn't that be too easy on her?" Zi Manqing endured the pain of being tempered by the Soul Devouring Tower every day, her bones were crushed and reshaped again and again, suffering endless torment. How could she be willing to let Yan Ruoruo and Mo Jinyan die so easily?
"I want to capture them alive," Zi Manqing commanded. "To ensure success, send three demon generals with ten junior generals. They must bring the person back to me alive, regardless of injury or disability."
"Yes." Lin Ye accepted the order and left.
The thought of Yan Ruoruo and Mo Jinyan falling into her hands filled Zi Manqing with immense joy: "I will make you pay for the suffering I have endured a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
Ruoruo was unaware that she had been targeted by two factions and was happily preparing to preach to the disciples and elders of the Qing Alliance.
"This is the first time someone has asked me to preach! I will definitely not disgrace my master and will properly impart the essentials of alchemy to them," Ruoruo said excitedly.
She was young and surrounded by powerful people, so he was always the one being taught.
Although she knew she was very good at alchemy, she didn't feel a real sense of accomplishment because the pills she made couldn't keep up with her brothers' and Mo Yong's cultivation levels.
I just feel like I'm far from good enough.
Unexpectedly, she was able to stand on the platform to discuss the Dao in front of these fellow disciples.
Driven by excitement and motivation, Ruoruo prepared her discourse late into the night.
Mo Jinyan had already taken a nap in Ruoruo's hood. He woke up with a yawn and saw Ruoruo still writing furiously. He said with concern, "Ruoruo, I heard from my older brother that staying up late will not help you grow taller. Why don't you go to sleep first? Anyway, with your alchemy skills, whatever you say will be helpful to them."
"Okay, okay, I'll be done writing soon," Ruoruo said.
The little chubby bird had no choice but to fly out and laboriously pick up the water bottle from the side, add a cup of water for Ruoruo, and push the water to Ruoruo's weak hand: "Then rest for a while, I'll grind some ink for you."
He flapped his wings and flew up, holding the ink stick in his two claws and pressing it onto the inkstone. He flew around wildly in mid-air, grinding ink for Ruoruo again and again.
Ruoruo smiled and said, "I've been preparing until so late today not entirely for tomorrow's sermon. While I was studying basic alchemy today, I suddenly had an inspiration and came up with some ideas about the pill formula that I had been trying to figure out before, the one that could help Third Brother take human form."
He thought he should strike while the iron was hot and continue refining the elixir, hoping that in another month or two, he could refine it and his third brother could take human form.
The chubby little bird, who was diligently grinding ink, was so moved that it froze on the spot, forgetting to flap its wings, and then fell headfirst into the ink.
"Third Brother!" Ruoruo was startled and quickly pulled her third brother out, wiping the ink off his body with a handkerchief.
The chubby little bird hugged Ruoruo's fingers with a touched expression.
"Ruo Ruo! Waaah, you're so good, you're so amazing. Even God Qingmu couldn't do anything about it. I'm counting on you to help me transform into human form."
“That’s right! Your sister is just that outstanding!” Ruoruo proudly puffed out her little belly.
Just as the two were enjoying a tender moment, Ruoruo suddenly smelled a foul stench, couldn't help but cover her chest, and turned around to gag, saying, "It stinks!"
"What?" Mo Jinyan's eyes were full of confusion.
"Can't you smell it? It smells really, really bad." Ruoruo felt dizzy from the smell.
She took out a talisman and immediately set up a barrier to block out all the smells.
However, the stench continued to waft over.
Ruoruo gagged twice more, almost throwing up her dinner. This wasn't a taste; it was something that directly triggered her inspiration.
"It smelled terrible and was very noisy, with a faint, weak wailing sound." Ruoruo, pale-faced, clutched her chest and whispered as she lay on the table, feeling a throbbing pain in her head.
