189: Li Yan, we are here to take you to ascension!

Li Yan had originally planned to quickly escape the Forget Dust Hall and head to the Gui Xu Realm Abyss.

He never expected that the other party would take away the Drunken Immortal Pill and replace it with a powerful tonic pill to force him to Breakthrough.

Inside the main hall, Li Yan was already sweating profusely.

Soon, accompanied by a Holy Light, it pierced through the dark clouds above the Forget Dust Hall.

The entire Forget Dust Hall was enveloped in a peaceful Immortal Qi, and with a melodious bird cry coming from the sky, several golden-crowned Immortal Cranes flapped their wings and descended from the heavens.

Inside the Blood Servant Sect, many Cultivators who had not yet left were drawn to the sight.

"Auspicious signs from the heavens!?"

"Who exactly is this Li Yan, to be favored by the White Jade Capital again?"

"Look! Nine Immortal Cranes are escorting a Golden Core, delivering it to the entrance of the Forget Dust Hall."

Countless Cultivators were in an uproar; this was a truly miraculous sight.

"What exactly is going on here!"

"Oh my goodness, today has truly been an eye-opener!"

For so many years, no one had ever witnessed such a scene in this place.

Golden-crowned Immortal Cranes flying down from the White Jade Capital to deliver an Immortal Pill to a young man.

This scene was simply unheard of.

Yan Qingqing, standing outside the main hall, frowned tightly.

She turned and ran back into the Forget Dust Hall, coming before Li Yan.

"Brother Li, there are Immortal Cranes outside, here to deliver an Immortal Pill to you."

Li Yan sensed something and curiously asked, "Young Miss Yan, you seem to have something you want to tell me?"

The Yan Qingqing before him was originally lively and cheerful.

But now her expression was solemn, and she hesitated for a moment.

"Brother Li, I don't know if some words should be spoken or not."

"Just say it, no harm done."

Li Yan raised his hand, waving his sleeve to indicate he was at ease.

The young girl-like Moonlit Sword Immortal bit her pink lip lightly and hesitantly spoke her conjecture.

"I can feel that my father is not happy after his Ascension, and he even has many things he wants to tell us."

"My father used to always force me to Cultivate diligently, but now he tells me to just play around.

"Brother Li, don't you find it very strange?"

Li Yan remained silent for a moment, looking at the Yan Qingqing before him.

She had the remnant soul of Onyx Moon Fairy within her, and she also resembled Onyue greatly.

If she realized that Ascension was a scam, she would probably die...

Li Yan neither wished for Yan Qingqing to die nor for the remnant soul of Onyue to perish.

It seems he would have to take Yan Qingqing with him as well.

After pondering for a moment, Li Yan lowered his voice, "Shh, don't say too much."

"Loose lips sink ships; speak less, do more."

Just a few simple words made Yan Qingqing's delicate body tremble, and she looked at Li Yan in disbelief.

It seems Brother Li also realized it!? So she wasn't the only one who felt there was something wrong with the White Jade Capital?

After giving Li Yan a look, Yan Qingqing felt as if she had found a kindred spirit, and her heart secretly thrilled.

But just as the two were discussing, an Immortal wind pushed open the door of the Forget Dust Hall, and nine Immortal Cranes, eight of them, lined up on either side of the main hall's entrance.

The golden-winged Immortal Crane slowly descended, holding a bottle of Immortal Pill in its mouth.

Li Yan, who had his informants, knew very well that these so-called Immortal Cranes were all transformed from the disciples of Immortal Weng with One Eye.

The nine Immortal Cranes were all young Alchemy apprentices, responsible for sending the Ascendants into the Pill Furnace; none of them were good people.

However, Li Yan still pretended to respectfully cup his hands, "May I ask, what is the meaning of this, esteemed envoys?"

The Immortal Crane's mouth did not move, but human speech came from its belly.

"The Immortal observed the celestial phenomena and, after deduction, found that you possess the potential of an Immortal Emperor."

"We are commanded to deliver an Immortal Pill."

"Please consume it quickly and Ascend to the White Jade Capital with us."

The Immortal Crane's voice echoed throughout the entire Blood Servant Sect.

Everyone looked at Li Yan with envy.

"This child has great Luck!"

"Could he be the illegitimate son of the Dao?"

"Smell it, we can smell that fragrance from the Immortal Pill from far away."

Many people showed intoxicated expressions, closing their eyes and sniffing deeply.

Even though the Immortal Pill was Seal in a box, the slightest scent that leaked out was enough to make one feel as if they were floating.

And the Immortal Crane, in front of everyone, used spiritual power to open the exquisite small box.

Inside, a Seven-Colored Golden Pill, like a luminous pearl, lay quietly.

Just as the box was opened, a group of white-haired Cultivators in the distance suddenly burst forth with golden light!

"Ha! Ha! This Daoist has comprehended!"

"This Daoist is also about to Ascend!"

"Feather Transformation and becoming an Immortal, White Jade Capital, here I come!"

Just the opening of the box, with the fragrance of the Seven-Colored Golden Pill wafting out, was enough to make a group of Feather Transformation Realm Cultivators directly Breakthrough to the Immortal Ascension Realm!

Completing Feather Transformation and directly ascending to Immortality!

Dozens of rays of light lit up, and dozens of white-haired old men in the crowd were directly sent to the White Jade Capital.

Just from this scene, it was clear how powerful the medicinal properties of this Seven-Colored Golden Pill were!

Originally, this item was a treasure that Immortal Weng with One Eye had kept for himself.

But to complete the mission as quickly as possible, Immortal Weng with One Eye could only reluctantly part with it, sending this Golden Core to Li Yan.

Li Yan didn't even need to swallow the entire Golden Core; as long as he held the Seven-Colored Golden Pill in his mouth, it could help him Breakthrough quickly, and without any side effects!

Seeing dozens of old men Ascend in the crowd, the Cultivators watching completely disregarded their image and began greedily absorbing the fragrance emanating from the Seven-Colored Golden Pill.

The crowd even started pushing and shoving, all scrambling to absorb the Immortal Pill's Qi.

Only Li Yan knew that these people were courting death.

They still had a few years to live, but now, they were all Ascending and heading into the Pill Furnace.

However, he no longer had the mind to care about others; the golden-crowned Immortal Crane, carrying the Seven-Colored Golden Pill, arrived before Li Yan.

"Come, hold this Golden Core in your mouth, and we shall guide you to Ascend to the White Jade Capital."

Li Yan showed a joyful smile on the surface, but inwardly, he was calculating something.

How to break free?

If he really consumed this Seven-Colored Golden Pill, he, Li Yan, would be able to Ascend to the White Jade Capital within a day.

He had originally thought he had half a year, but he didn't expect the important figure above to be pressing so hard.

But what if he didn't consume this Golden Core?

No hesitation, no doubt needed.

As long as he showed any hesitation, he would immediately be suspected by the people of White Jade Capital.

How to break the situation?

At this moment, the golden-crowned Immortal Crane narrowed its eyes, beginning to suspect Li Yan.

"Why aren't you eating it yet? This is what Cultivators dream of; just by holding it in your mouth, you can Ascend instantly."

Feeling an invisible pressure beginning to surround him from all directions, the Immortal Crane had already started to suspect Li Yan.

However, Li Yan, being a master of acting, began to play dumb, "Is this Golden Core's medicinal property really that potent?"

"May I ask, Your Excellency, will I not explode and die if I eat it?"

The Immortal Crane chuckled, explaining in a gentle tone.

"This is an Immortal Pill from the White Jade Capital, how can it be compared to ordinary Medicinal Pills?"

"Rest assured and hold it in your mouth. Its gentle medicinal properties not only have no side effects but can also help you Ascend instantly."

What instant Ascension?

I think it's instant refining!
