Chapter 4 Li Muwan? Let's leave that to Wang Mazi.
On this day, at the summit of Qingyue Peak, inside the secluded meditation hall.
Chu Yuan sat cross-legged, with a large cauldron standing majestically in front of him. Beneath the cauldron, crimson flames roared, and waves of heat rolled in, turning the entire hall a fiery red.
Inside the cauldron, a flying sword floated silently, its entire body crimson, with faint radiance flowing across its blade as it underwent repeated tempering by the raging fire.
Chu Yuan focused intently, raised his hand, and dozens of refining materials filed out of his storage bag, hovering around him.
"enter!"
He formed hand seals, and as his spiritual power surged, the materials flew into the cauldron and disappeared into the crimson flames.
"melt!"
Chu Yuan gave a low shout, and the flames beneath the cauldron suddenly surged, shooting into the sky and illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
The materials in the cauldron slowly melted in the raging fire, turning into drops of pure liquid that gradually merged into the flying sword.
boom--
With a muffled roar, a crimson light shot into the sky from the cauldron, causing the entire hall to tremble.
Chu Yuan raised his hand and a crimson flying sword slowly floated up from the cauldron. The sword was long and thin as a cicada's wing, and its whole body flowed with a warm luster, as if a pool of autumn water was frozen in it.
He casually forced out a drop of his essence blood and merged it into the sword. The flying sword immediately emitted a clear and melodious hum, as if it had come to life, and began to circle around him joyfully.
Chu Yuan reached out and grasped the flying sword, examined it carefully for a moment, and nodded slightly.
This flying sword, having undergone layers of tempering, had reached the level of a Danbao (a type of magical treasure). With his current mid-stage Core Formation cultivation, he wielded it with ease. However…
"What a pity."
He sighed softly.
"I have only been studying weapon crafting for a short time, and the quality of the materials is limited. Reaching this level is already my limit."
Chu Yuan casually put the flying sword into his storage bag, stood up, and stretched his somewhat stiff body.
After a year of seclusion, it's time to go out and explore.
With a flash, he appeared in mid-air atop Qingyue Peak.
Over the past year, many disciples have come to Qingyue Peak.
After all, he is now an elder of a sect. Although he doesn't have to be as busy as the sect leader, he can't do everything himself.
Some of these disciples were assigned as menial servants, while others were juniors who came because of his reputation. Chu Yuan did not refuse them and allowed them to stay on the peak.
However, he had been in seclusion for the past year refining weapons and had never taught anyone.
However, his Core Formation stage cultivation level was undeniable; even if he did nothing, it was enough to inspire awe in those disciples.
"Greetings, Elder Chu."
The disciples who were sweeping below stopped what they were doing and bowed when they saw him appear.
Chu Yuan nodded slightly, said nothing more, and flew towards the depths of Luohe Gate.
He planned to go to the library to read some more books on alchemy and weapon crafting.
The path of weapon crafting is vast and complex, and the more one delves into it, the more one realizes how boundless it is. He has only just begun to understand it in this year, and there is still much for him to learn.
As they were flying, Chu Yuan suddenly frowned.
Ok?
He changed direction and instead of heading towards the Scripture Pavilion, he went straight to the Alchemy Peak.
Inside a pavilion on Alchemy Peak.
Three women dressed in the robes of inner disciples of the Luohe Sect were gathered around a pill furnace, their expressions focused, and fine beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
The three women each had their own duties: the one in the middle was in charge of controlling the alchemy furnace, the one on the left was in charge of adjusting the fire, and the one on the right was in charge of continuously adding spiritual herbs to the furnace.
Their seamless teamwork suggests this isn't their first time collaborating on medicine.
"Quickly, stabilize the alchemy furnace! The Heavenly Separation Pill is almost ready!"
The woman in the middle said in a deep voice.
"yes!"
The woman on the left gritted her teeth, formed hand seals, and tried her best to stabilize the elixir fire.
"Wan'er, stabilize the elixir fire!"
"yes!"
The woman on the right responded with a solemn expression, her spiritual energy continuously flowing into the alchemy furnace, controlling the flames within with remarkable stability.
The three women were so engrossed in their work that they were completely unaware that a pair of sinister eyes were staring intently at them from a corner of the attic.
He was a young man dressed in the robes of a disciple of the Luohe Sect. He had an ordinary face and was inconspicuous when he was standing on the side.
He was hidden in the shadows, his aura concealed so skillfully that no one could detect his presence without careful investigation.
At that moment, a barely perceptible sinister smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
The fragrance of the elixir in the furnace grew stronger, and the Heavenly Separation Elixir was about to take shape.
Finally, with a soft sound, the furnace shook, and a round and translucent pill flew out of the furnace, emitting a faint glow.
"The elixir is complete!"
The three women looked delighted and were about to reach out to take it.
In that instant, the young man hidden in the corner moved.
He moved like lightning, suddenly rushing forward at a speed far exceeding the three women's expectations, and his large hand fiercely grabbed at the Heavenly Separation Pill.
"This elixir is mine!"
The three women's expressions changed drastically; they wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
However, just as his fingers were about to touch the elixir!
"court death!"
A low shout, like a thunderclap, resounded down from the heavens, causing the entire pavilion to tremble.
The young man's expression changed drastically. Before he could react, a red lightning bolt streaked through the air at an incredible speed.
puff--
The crimson lightning pierced through his head in an instant, and his consciousness was completely annihilated in that moment.
The young man's sinister smile froze on his lips, his eyes suddenly glazed over, and his body stood frozen in place for a moment before collapsing to the ground with a thud.
The three women stared in astonishment at the scene, momentarily speechless.
A figure appeared out of thin air in the pavilion, standing with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering without wind, and exuding a faint aura of a Core Formation cultivator.
Chu Yuan glanced at the corpse on the ground, reached out and took the man's storage bag into his hand, and casually said, "You can continue. This man disguised himself as a disciple of my Luohe Sect, intending to steal the Heavenly Separation Pill, but he has been killed by me."
The three women then came to their senses and quickly bowed, saying, "Thank you, Elder!"
Chu Yuan nodded, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over the three women before he suddenly paused slightly.
His gaze fell on the woman on his right.
The woman appeared to be around twenty years old, with exquisite features, flawless skin, and clear, gentle eyes.
She wore a light blue dress, and her black hair cascaded down to her waist. Although it was the typical attire of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it couldn't hide her natural beauty.
She was truly stunningly beautiful.
Chu Yuan's heart stirred slightly. Heavenly Separation Pill, Alchemy Peak, three Foundation Establishment female cultivators... Could this person in front of him be Li Muwan?
No wonder Wang Lin was slightly stunned when he first saw this person; such appearance is indeed rare.
However, he only glanced at it once before looking away.
"Alright, take the pills to the Ancestor."
Chu Yuan said calmly.
"Yes, Elder."
Li Muwan nodded respectfully.
Chu Yuan said no more, and his figure disappeared from the spot in an instant.
Flying in mid-air, Chu Yuan shook his head slightly in his heart.
Although Li Muwan was exceptionally beautiful, he dared not harbor any ill intentions towards her.
The love affair between Wang Lin and Li Muwan in the original novel involves a wide range of issues and is deeply intertwined with cause and effect.
If he rashly intervenes, who knows what trouble he might cause.
Moreover... there's also the existence of Lu Mo.
Chu Yuan's heart sank slightly. He was unsure whether Lu Mo was still secretly watching this world after he transmigrated here.
However, it's best to avoid this karmic connection altogether.
Li Muwan, you should leave it to Wang Mazi.
