Peerless Taoist

When the Demon Ancestor appeared and killed Ji Chenyu's body, Lu Yu was too weak at the time. He could only watch as Ji Chenyu passed away.    

Later, Xu Guizong appeared again and took Ji Chenyu's soul away. Lu Yu could only watch helplessly.    

At that time, he had been cultivating for too short a time. His cultivation level was not strong enough, and he was not strong enough to protect the people around him.    

Now, Lu Yu was no longer the same as before. He had already taken control of the entire Heaven Realm, and he would never allow the tragedy of the past to happen again.    

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was summoned. For a long time, the Eight Trigrams Furnace had been protecting Lu Yu. This was the first time it had been used as an alchemy furnace.    

An ancient aura was released from the Eight Trigrams Furnace. This was the supreme holy weapon that the Dao Ancestor had used before. It once again displayed its divine might in front of Lu Yu.    

This was not the first time Lu Yu had refined the Fate Changing Pill. He calmed down the aura in his body and gradually began to refine the ingredients.    

Shangguan Waner was lying by the window. She was still quite weak. She looked at Lu Yu quietly as if she wanted to remember his appearance.    

A strong chill surged up her heart. Shangguan Waner could clearly feel that her life was quickly fading away.    

However, there was one person in this world who did not wish for anything to happen to her.    

She looked at Lu Yu, and saw that his eyes were bloodshot because he had used up too much of his soul force. She also saw the sweat on his forehead due to the extreme tension.    

Suddenly, Shangguan Waner felt a little envious of the girl called Ji Chenyu.    

"No matter how many years have passed, there are still people who are worried about you and have been thinking about you all this time..." A false memory gradually appeared in Shangguan Waner's mind.    

At that time, Shen Linglong had forcefully added a memory of the Shangguan Family into her mind. However, it was just a lie. She had experienced the Shangguan Family's indifference towards her. Those clansmen only treated her as a mascot and did not truly care about her.    

During the time she spent in the Ji Family, it was the happiest time for her. At this time, she had forgotten everything about the past, as if she really was the young miss of the Ji Family who had disappeared for many years.    

The more she thought about it, the more she envied Ji Chenyu.    

Even though Lu Yu told her that she was Ji Chenyu's reincarnation, Shangguan Waner still envied her.    

Lu Yu's pill refining was still going on.    

The realm of an alchemist was divided into five levels, namely, the Core, the Core Soul, the Core Life, the Core King, and the Core Saint. Among them, the Core Life Realm corresponded to the third realm of the medicinal pill.    

Among them, the pill refiners at the third grade of the Pill Life Realm were extremely rare. Even in a place like the Three Pure Ones, they could be called masters.    

This was also the limit of Lu Yu's current ability to refine medicine. The higher the grade, the better the effect, but the requirements were also more stringent.    

Although Lu Yu had obtained the teachings of the Taoist ancestor, if he wanted to really make a breakthrough in the path of alchemy, he would still need sufficient experience accumulation.    

Time was already quite tight.    

Shangguan Waner’s life was already quite fragile, and she could die at any time due to the Yin Qi entering her body. Before that, Lu Yu had to refine the Heaven Defying Fate Changing Pill as soon as possible.    

Fortunately, this was not his first time refining it. With the help of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the chances of success were greatly increased.    

Along with Lu Yu's continuous refinement, the medicinal ingredients gradually turned into pure medicinal liquid under the burning of the flames, and all of them gathered in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.    

A rich medicinal fragrance instantly spread out from the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and it even began to spread out in all directions.    

In an instant, the originally quiet night of Ji Yin City was broken. An unknown pressure descended upon the entire city, causing countless people to be instantly awakened.    

The Ji Yin Governor, Liu Jian, immediately flew into the sky. He had long received Lu Yu's order and shouted loudly, "Your Majesty is currently refining pills. Everyone in the city should stay put and do not disturb him. Those who disobey will be killed without mercy!"    

The Qin army began to move out and patrol the streets. Tonight was the curfew, and no one was allowed to leave without permission.    

Many people were shocked. They looked towards the sky above the Governor's Mansion. The area was covered with dark clouds and dense lightning. It was a scene of the changing of the weather.    

Many of the shopkeepers of the Wonder Hand Parlor were also awakened at this moment. They looked towards the sky in the direction of the Governor's Mansion and their expressions changed.    

"This is a scene that only appears when a top-grade medicine is refined!"    

The shopkeepers immediately became spirited. They did not need to be reminded at all. They all jumped onto the rooftop and watched this shocking scene.    

Zhu Hao also flew up. His face also revealed a look of shock. After a long time, he muttered, "No wonder the three hall masters think so highly of him. His first move is already so shocking."    

At the same time, in a corner of Ji Yin City, there were also two people who were chatting.    

If Lu Yu was here, he would naturally be able to recognize one of them. It was the disciple of the Ten Thousand Miles Alliance, Zhou Qin.    

Because Zhou Qin did not attack Shangguan Wan'er at that time, and even advised Zhang Qi not to kill her, Lu Yu did not kill him but let him continue to stay in Ji Yin City.    

However, Zhou Qin never thought that his Master would suddenly come.    

An old man sat in front of Zhou Qin. He had a pale face and white hair, and his face was covered with wrinkles. However, there was still a dignified and domineering aura between his brows. He seemed to be mighty without being angry.    

On the table in front of the old man, a cup of hot tea was drifting with steam. Zhou Qin was serving tea to him respectfully.    

"Master, why did you come here personally? Could it be that you came for Lu Yu?" Zhou Qin asked tentatively.    

"That's right, of course it's for him!" The old man said in a deep voice.    

Zhou Qin frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he still said, "Master, it's not worth it to fall out with this Lu Yu for Zhang Qi and the others."    

He seemed to be worried that his Master would be angry, so he quickly said, "This person's cultivation level should be at the False Core Stage, but his true strength is far beyond the False Core Stage. Zhang Qi and him are at the same cultivation level, but in front of this person, he couldn't even last a single round and was instantly killed."    

"It could be that this person has concealed his cultivation level, or that he has some secret that is far beyond the realm of the same cultivation level."    

The old man nodded. "Continue."    

Zhou Qin said, "Besides, according to my observations, this entire Great Qin Empire seems to be loyal to Lu Yu and has no second thoughts. This kind of situation is quite rare, and it is even full of strange things."    

"The sects that we have seen before are usually supported by the Master and a few especially powerful elders. But the Ji Yin Provincial Governor that we met before is quite unyielding. Even when facing us, who are stronger than him, he does not show any fear."
