117: The harvest was plentiful; the system returned the elixir of immortality.

Yaoguang Holy Land is gone.

This immortal Dao tradition, which had been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years in the Central Plains and was known for its mystery and power, was uprooted and dug out by a group of “bandits” from the Eastern Barrens today.

When the news spread, the entire Central Plains once again fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was numb.

If destroying the Taichu Holy Land before was merely shocking,

then now, even the Yaoguang Holy Land, whose foundation was equally unfathomable, was gone just like that.

Only fear remained.

Boundless fear.

Everyone realized.

That mysterious force named “Kaoshan Sect” was no longer just an outsider.

It was clearly a supreme Vicious Beast from the Primordial Era!

What it wanted was not a share of the spoils.

What it wanted was to overturn the entire table!

...And at this moment.

At the center of the “storm,” the ruins of Yaoguang Holy Land.

Li Daoxuan was happily holding a spoils-sharing meeting with his Disciples.

“Come on, everyone, don’t be shy, there’s a share for everyone who sees it.”

Li Daoxuan sat on the recently “confiscated” Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Cauldron, holding an account book that was also just “confiscated,” and began to distribute rewards based on merit.

“Everyone performed well in this operation.”

“Especially Yanran, who personally avenged her enemy and settled her Karma, deserves praise.”

Li Daoxuan looked at his Second Disciple, whose aura was growing colder but whose eyes were much softer, and nodded in satisfaction.

Then, he handed her the newly assembled, complete swallowing heaven demon jar.

“Here, this is for you.”

“Although it’s a bit ugly, it’s still something the Ruthless One used, so just make do with it.”

Leng Yanran looked at the magic jar, which emanated monstrous Emperors Might, and her breathing hitched.

This... this was the Ruthless Great Emperor’s Natal Emperor Armament!

Just like that... given to me?

“Revered Master, this is too precious...”

“Precious my ass.” Li Daoxuan waved his hand, “It’s all just scrap metal. Besides, you’re my Disciple, isn’t what’s yours mine? Why be so clear about it?”

Leng Yanran: “...”

Although she felt there was something strange about her Revered Master’s words, her heart inexplicably warmed.

“Alright, next, Ye Fan.”

Li Daoxuan rummaged through the pile of “junk” again and pulled out a brick shimmering with seven-colored Divine Light?

No, it was a Divine Seal.

“You brat have thick skin and flesh, just smashing people with your fists is too crude.”

“Here’s this ‘Sky-Flipping Seal’ for you. If you see anyone you don’t like in the future, just stamp it on their forehead.”

“And you, Shi Tian...”

Li Daoxuan looked at his foodie Disciple, thought for a moment, and directly threw him the Dragon Vein at the bottom of the blood pool, whose Spiritual Qi had been drained.

“This spicy stick... oh no, this Dragon Vein is for your snacks. Eat it sparingly, don’t finish it in a day.”

...The spoils-sharing meeting was a joyous occasion for both host and guests.

The Disciples each received treasures, their faces beaming with joy.

And in Li Daoxuan’s mind, a series of System notification sounds, like heavenly music, rang out.

Ding! Detected that the host has gifted [Dragon-Pattern Black Gold Cauldron] to Disciple Leng Yanran.

Disciple loyalty +100! Dao Heart solidified!

Triggering ten thousand times critical return...

Congratulations, Host! You have obtained an Immortal Artifact—[Myriad Things Smelting Furnace]!

Myriad Things Smelting Furnace: An Immortal Dao furnace born at the beginning of Chaos, capable of smelting all things, returning them to their origin, and also capable of upgrading and strengthening any Magic Treasure.

“Holy crap! Equipment upgrade tool?!”

Li Daoxuan’s eyes lit up.

This thing is good stuff!

In the future, if he picks up any scrap metal, throws it in, what comes out will be a Divine Artifact!

This was simply the ultimate cheat for “turning waste into treasure”!

However.

Before he could finish celebrating.

Ding! Detected that the host has gifted all the Spirit Medicine in the [Yaoguang Holy Land Treasury] to the Disciples.

After consuming them, the Disciples’ cultivation greatly increased, and they were filled with gratitude towards the host!

Triggering random multiplier critical return...

“Boom!”

Li Daoxuan only felt the System space shake violently!

A dense, unresolvable life essence instantly filled the entire space!

That essence was too vast.

So vast that even within his System space, it manifested astonishing phenomena of Dragons and Phoenixes singing in harmony, and Qilin treading the sea!

Congratulations, Host! You have triggered a hundred thousand times critical strike!

Obtained ultimate reward—Undying Divine Medicine·[true dragon undying medicine]!

Li Daoxuan’s breathing stopped at this moment.

Un... Undying Divine Medicine?!

That was a supreme Divine Object that, according to legend, only Great Emperors were qualified to seek!

It was rumored that consuming just one stalk could allow a person to achieve Immortal Ascension on the spot, gain eternal life, and live another lifetime!

He quickly extended his Divine Sense into the System space.

In the center of the space.

A small tree, entirely cast from gold and only about a foot tall, was quietly suspended.

The branches of the small tree were gnarled, resembling a Dragon’s body.

And at the top of the tree, there was a fruit.

The fruit was not large, only fist-sized.

But its shape was that of a lifelike, sleeping... mini golden Dragon!

The scales of the mini golden Dragon were clearly visible, its whiskers elegant. Although it was sleeping, it was still exhaling wisps of eternal life essence from its mouth and nose!

Just one glance made one feel their Lifespan rapidly increasing!

“This... this is too amazing, right?”

Even Li Daoxuan, who had seen many storms, was shaken at this moment, almost unable to resist biting into it on the spot.

Longevity.

This was the ultimate temptation that no living being could resist.

“Revered Master? Revered Master, what’s wrong?”

Shi Tian looked at his Revered Master, who had suddenly frozen in place with drool almost flowing down, and asked curiously.

“Cough, cough.”

Li Daoxuan quickly came back to his senses and wiped the corner of his mouth.

“Nothing.”

“This Revered Master is just thinking... how to divide these spoils of war.”

He looked at the true dragon undying medicine, radiating an alluring glow in the System space, and fell into deep thought.

This thing’s medicinal effects were too potent.

If any Disciple ate it, they would probably explode and die on the spot.

Eat it himself?

He was already at the Great Emperor Peak, so he didn’t need it for now.

Besides, good things should be shared.

Eating alone was not Li Daoxuan’s style.

“I’ve got it.”

Li Daoxuan’s eyes lit up as he thought of a brilliant idea.

He took the true dragon undying medicine out of the System space.

“Boom!”

The moment the Undying Divine Medicine appeared, the world changed color!

A myriad of auspicious clouds, bursts of immortal music!

An indescribable life aura instantly swept across the entire Central Plains!

All the old monsters stuck at their Bottlenecks, under the cleansing of this aura, actually broke through in unison!

Everyone went crazy.

They looked towards the Yaoguang Holy Land with fear and fanaticism.

“It’s... it’s the Undying Divine Medicine!!”

“My heavens! An Undying Divine Medicine has actually appeared!”

“Could it be... that Emperor Li is about to achieve Immortal Ascension?!”

And on the ruins of Yaoguang Holy Land.

Five Disciples, plus a fat Daoist priest, were completely dumbfounded.

They stared blankly at the mini golden Dragon, still snoring softly, held in Li Daoxuan’s palm, feeling as if their breathing was about to stop.

“Ma... Revered Master...”

Shi Tian trembled as he reached out, wanting to touch it but not daring to.

“This... this... can this be eaten?”

“Of course it can be eaten.”

Li Daoxuan nodded.

Then.

Under everyone’s horrified gaze.

He extended two fingers and, like picking grapes, gently pinched the tail of the mini golden Dragon.

“Awoo?”

The sleeping mini golden Dragon seemed to feel pain, groggily opened its eyes, and let out a childish Dragon roar.

Then... it watched with its own eyes as a small section of its tail tip was broken off.

Li Daoxuan held the section of Dragon tail, more brilliant than gold, and examined it for a moment.

Then, with a serious expression, he looked at the Disciples beside him, who were completely petrified.

“This stuff is too potent, it can’t be eaten raw.”

“One small bite each, no fighting.”

He paused, revealing a demonic smile.

“I think... it would be good to take it back and steep it in wine.”
