After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 177 Arrival at Qingxia Gate

Qingxia Sect and Qihu Sect are the two top-tier sects in Yue Kingdom, both of which have Nascent Soul stage cultivators.

Other minor sects in the Yue Kingdom lacked Nascent Soul stage cultivators to oversee them, so they had no choice but to rely on the two major sects for survival.

Sun Siyu's master is none other than Huang Jiansheng, the only Nascent Soul cultivator in the Qingxia Sect. If anything were to happen to Huang Jiansheng, the Qingxia Sect's status as a sect in the Yue Kingdom would be in jeopardy.

Huang Jiansheng originally wanted to groom Sun Siyu to be the successor of Qingxia Sect, but Sun Siyu had no interest in managing Qingxia Sect and was obsessed with alchemy all day long.

Huang Jiansheng had no choice but to search everywhere for alchemists to guide Sun Siyu in learning the art of alchemy.

Fortunately, Sun Siyue also had a good talent for alchemy. At a young age, she had already become a fourth-grade alchemist. Just as she was preparing to research fifth-grade pills, Huang Jiansheng had an accident.

Huang Jiansheng was accidentally poisoned and needed a fifth-grade alchemist to refine an antidote. However, there were already few alchemists in the Yue Kingdom, let alone fifth-grade alchemists, who were extremely rare.

Having heard that the Alchemist Alliance has high-level alchemists, Sun Siyu has no choice but to attend the Alchemist Alliance's alchemy conference to get to know them.

Unexpectedly, they won the championship of the Alchemist Alliance, which gave them the opportunity to invite alchemists like Liu Rumei and Ye Xiaobai to Qingxia Sect to refine antidote pills for their master.

After entering the territory of Yue Kingdom, Sun Siyu and Ye Xiaobai and the others parted ways.

Sun Siyu returned directly to the sect to collect relevant materials. After several days of collecting materials from various places, and with the help of her master's years of accumulation, Sun Siyu quickly gathered all the materials needed to refine the Five Blessings Detoxification Pill.

In the past two days, all the people from Qingxia Sect who went to the Five Elements Venerable's Secret Realm have returned, but Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei are nowhere to be seen.

Seeing her master's health deteriorating, Sun Siyue was extremely anxious.

After visiting his master each day, he would run to the entrance of Qingxia Sect and look around, hoping for the early arrival of Ye Xiaobai and the others. After a few days, he became much more haggard.

On this day, Sun Siyu was at the foot of Qingxia Mountain, waiting for Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei to arrive.

Seeing several cultivators rushing towards them from a distance, Sun Siyu's somewhat haggard face immediately lit up with joy, thinking that Ye Xiaobai and the others had finally arrived.

Upon seeing who it was, Sun Siyu immediately showed a look of disappointment.

The people who arrived were not Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei, but Zhou Yu, the senior disciple of Qingxia Sect, accompanied by several cultivators from other sects.

One was Wu Haotian from the Seven Lakes Sect, and the other was an old man in a gray robe who seemed to have eye problems.

Normally, an old man wouldn't attract Sun Siyu's attention, but this old man had a strange smell, which made Sun Siyu very uncomfortable.

After cultivation, cultivators typically expel impurities from their bodies through cleansing and marrow purification, and they also frequently consume elixirs, resulting in a faint, pleasant fragrance emanating from their bodies.

These are nothing more than the residual aura of some pills or rare treasures. However, some cultivators practice strange techniques, so their bodies naturally become different from ordinary people. Sun Siyu guessed that this gray-robed old man must have practiced some kind of peculiar technique.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhou!" Sun Siyu greeted him politely.

After Zhou Yu recognized Sun Siyu, he quickly replied, "Junior Sister Sun is still waiting for the people from the Alchemist Alliance, isn't she?"

"Yes!"

“Junior Sister Sun, I told you long ago not to place all your hopes on the people of the Alchemist Alliance. I didn’t ask for help from Fellow Martial Arts, but I went through a lot of trouble to find a master of poisons—Senior Du!” Zhou Yu said, introducing the gray-robed old man to Sun Siyu.

"Thank you for your help, fellow martial arts practitioner. Greetings, Senior Du!" Sun Siyu greeted everyone, thinking that her senior brother had kindly chosen the antidote for their master. However, she was still looking forward to the arrival of Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei.

"Fairy Sun, it's been a long time! You've become even more beautiful, though you seem to have lost some weight!" Wu Haotian said directly, showing his concern.

"Thank you for your concern, Fellow Martial Arts Master!"

"Although I am blind, my hearing is extraordinary. Just by hearing your voice, I know you must possess a beauty that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky!" the old man surnamed Du said calmly.

"You flatter me, Senior Du!"

"Let's go, let's take Senior Du to Elder Huang's cave!" Zhou Yu suggested.

"Well... I still want to wait for the people from the Alchemist Alliance to come so we can go and take a look together!" Sun Siyu still didn't quite trust this strange old man.

"Junior Sister Sun, why are you so stubborn? But I heard that the people from the Alchemist Alliance have also gone to the Five Elements Venerable's secret realm. They might be trapped inside and won't be able to get out for a while!" Zhou Yu casually guessed.

“Yes, several of our Seven Lakes Sect disciples died in the secret realm! Perhaps they also died in the secret realm!” Wu Haotian added.

“This makes Elder Huang’s treatment even more urgent!” Zhou Yu continued.

"No, they won't die in the secret realm!" Sun Siyu naturally didn't believe what Wu Haotian said.

Just then, a familiar voice rang out.

"Who said we died in the secret realm? We're perfectly fine, aren't we?"

The newcomers were Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei, who had just arrived at the foot of Qingxia Sect's mountain. They had originally thought they wouldn't know anyone there and would have to ask someone to inform them, but they had unexpectedly run into acquaintances, saving them a lot of trouble.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, Sister Rumei, you've finally arrived! I've been waiting so long, I was almost dying of anxiety!" Sun Siyu said excitedly upon seeing Ye Xiaobai and his companion arrive safely.

"Didn't we arrive ahead of time?" Liu Rumei quickly pulled Sun Siyu's arm to comfort her.

"It's actually the two of you?" Wu Haotian recognized Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei immediately upon seeing them.

"What? Fellow martial artist, do you know them?" Zhou Yu asked curiously.

"These two alchemist alliances, along with a group of rogue cultivators, are trying to steal treasures from our Seven Lakes Sect and Qingxia Sect in the secret realm!" Wu Haotian complained directly.

"So that's how it is!" Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu's attitude towards Ye Xiaobai and Liu Rumei immediately became even colder.

"However, in the end, it was all taken by a withered old man with a cane!" Wu Haotian even forgot that he himself had not obtained any treasures.

"Unfortunately, I was in seclusion at the time. If I had gone, the outcome would have been uncertain!" Zhou Yu said with a regretful expression.

When Wu Haotian mentioned that the withered old man with a cane had taken all the treasures in the secret realm, the old man surnamed Du frowned slightly, as if he had thought of something. He quickly returned to normal, and this slight change naturally did not attract the attention of others.

“Actually, we…” Liu Rumei was about to reveal that she had obtained the treasures of the secret realm when Ye Xiaobai quickly interrupted her and coughed wildly to signal her not to say it.

"Actually, we were just unlucky!" Ye Xiaobai quickly continued Liu Rumei's words, saying that it was better to keep a low profile after taking the Five Elements Venerable's secret treasure.

"cut!"

Zhou Yu and Wu Haotian naturally didn't care about the luck Ye Xiaobai mentioned; they just felt that Ye Xiaobai's strength was too low.
