Daoist Yixiao floated down and landed steadily in front of the cave gate.

He had been stuck at the Golden Elixir stage for a hundred years, during which he had been depressed and unhappy. Now his wish has been granted and he has advanced to the Yuanying stage but he was still the same, having the usual casual smile on his face.

Sect master Shui Wuxin had also arrived early. He saw Daoist Yixiao coming out of the gate, and was the first one to walk up to him with a happy smile, " Congratulations on your successful advancement, junior brother."

"Thank you, senior brother, and thank you all for your congratulations. Speaking of which, you should be thanking this child instead of blaming him. " Daoist Yixiao bowed and looked at Shui Wuxin.

Shui Wuxin glanced at Bai Lixin and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"As you know, I failed in my first two advancements because I have always had a knot in my heart. You did not know what this knot was, but since I have succeeded in crossing the tribulation today, I can tell you that this knot has been resolved. I was afraid I would have no one to succeed me."

" I am the first son of the Xuanyuan family and have had a smooth and trouble-free journey, but when I reached the Golden Elixir stage, there was no one behind me to carry on the mantle. This matter has always been in my heart and had gradually become a demon. Seven years ago, I was very happy to see that Little Cha had a dual spiritual root of water and wood. However, although I was very happy, I had to punish him by making him an outer disciple for ten years because he was opportunistic. But I was so concerned that I brought him to Xuanyuan peak and asked him to look after the herbs in the mountains."

Daoist Yixiao paused and lifted his hand to wave at the vast herb fields filled with greenery, "All this is little Cha's work."

Shui Wuxin looked at the vibrant medicinal fields in astonishment.

Daoist Yixiao was a medicine cultivator, and the prerequisite for medicine cultivation was the availability of medicine.

However, as time went on, more and more people gave up on the practice of medicine cultivation because the survival rate of herbs on this continent was extremely low, either due to the spiritual energy or the soil.

Herbs were in short supply, and elixirs were hard to find. Most medicine cultivators did not have enough herbs to refine their pills, and most stopped at the foundation building stage.

There were not more than three medicine cultivators in the continent who had reached the Golden Elixir stage, and Daoist Yixiao was one of them. With the gradual disappearance of medicine cultivators, Xuanyuan Peak, which existed for medicine cultivators, was also gradually deserted. So Daoist Yixiao changed the name from Medicine Peak to Xuanyuan Peak.

Shui Wuxin was in a hurry and had not observed the changes to Xuanyuan in detail, but now, not only Shui Wuxin but also the other cultivators followed Daoist Yixiao's  hand and scanned Xuanyuan peak. They found that the desolate peak had changed a lot.

Finally, Daoist Yixiao fixed his gaze on Bai Lixin and waved at him with a smile, "Little Cha, come here."

Bai Lixin looked at this gentle, smiling Daoist Yixiao, and he saw something calculative in his gaze. But there were so many people there that he had to put down the water ladle in his hand and walk over, bowing his head in good humour.

"Master, this child is a miracle! This child was born for medicine cultivation! With him, the knot that has haunted me for a hundred years was easily dissolved!"

Shui Wuxin was silent for a while before saying, "So you gave the Ethereal wood and water technique to an outer disciple?"

Daoist Yixiao's face suddenly fell into gloom, "I know, Brother. I am willing to go to the disciplinary chamber to meditate for twenty years so that I can remember the teachings of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect! "

Shui Wuxin's face was unperturbed and his eyes were in a trance for a moment as he said, "You are now the only medicine cultivator to have entered the Golden Elixir stage, and our Ten Thousand Swords Sect still needs you to make pills and elixirs. Instead of thinking of your mistakes behind the closed doors of the disciplinary hall, you should think about them behind the closed doors of your alchemy room. "

Shui Wuxin scolded Daoist Yixiao and then turned his eyes back to Bai Lixin, saying, "As for you, as an outer disciple, you know that you shouldn't learn the inner disciple's cultivation method. Even if you received that method for the sake of his heart knot, you wouldn't dare to understand it alone. " He paused and looked Bai Lixin up and down before saying, "The inner disciple's books are so profound that the slightest carelessness will cause you to go off the rails. Did you think about the consequences? "

Bai Lixin quickly knelt on the ground, "I know I'm wrong!"

"Since you are wrong, you will be punished. I'll punish you by spending ten years in the disciplinary chamber in seclusion. Within ten years, you need to concentrate on your cultivation. Do you understand? "

"Brother," interjected Daoist Yixiao with a smile, "I remember that it will soon be time for the annual opening of the Demon Secret Realm. Instead of letting this child meditate in a place like the disciplinary chamber, wouldn't it be better to lock him up in the Demon Secret Realm in the cave where our ancestors imprisoned the demons? There are tragic scenes of demons and cultivators fighting in that cave, and only by contemplating in that environment can one's heart feel the same way and dare not be easily possessed by the devil. "

Shui Wuxin looked at the medicinal field, and then at the genius-like Bai Lixin, and finally nodded, "Fine, as you say."

The more talented one is, the more dangerous one is to the possibility of becoming a demon. Wasn't that the case with the Nine Heavenly Demon King back then? What's more, this teenager had not gone through the proper inner disciple cultivation instillation and had cultivated alone to the fifth level of Qi cultivation. The chances of him walking and deviating down the demonic path were even higher.

Going to that place might be a bit cruel to the boy, but it was only by administering this powerful lesson that the devil could be nipped in the bud!

Shui Wuxin looked at Feng Baixiao and said, "Baixiao, you will take this disciple to the place of detention, and I will give you the roadmap in a jade slip. Remember, the first thing to do when you enter the Demon clan's mystic realm is to send him there first. Got it? "

Feng Baixiao glanced at Bai Lixin slightly, smiled, and knelt beside him. He straightened his back and said respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Bai Lixin: "…." Hey, Daoist Yixiao, I need to talk to you. I said I wanted to go into the demon secret realm, but I didn't say I was going there to meditate behind closed doors ah.

Feng Baixiao turned his head to look at Bai Lixin with a smile, and Bai Lixin felt his whole life was miserable.

After sending the cultivators away, Daoist Yixiao gave Bai Lixin a heavy pat on the shoulder and said happily, "Not bad, kid. You have reached the fifth level of qi cultivation with only your enlightenment! You are worthy of my eyes. "

This line… is worthy of a male protagonist. Here even the lines of the supporting characters have a deep, domineering aura.

Bai Lixin asked, "Why on earth do you want me to meditate in the Demon secret realm for ten years?"

"That place may hold a great chance for you. I'm afraid you'll be my only disciple in my life. But it is up to you whether you can hold on to this chance." Daoist Yixiao smiled, "Have you memorised all the Ethereal wood and water techniques I gave you?"

Bai Lixin nodded, "Yes, I remember."

Daoist Yixiao then said, "That's good. The Ethereal Wood and Water Techniques are so profound that even I have only understood one or two of them, so you must practise them well. After this advancement, I suddenly feel that my horizons have opened up a lot. I was arrogant as a panther before, so I will try to work on myself within ten years. The Devil's Secret Realm opens once every ten years, and once the boundary is closed, no one will be able to break in. So you will be safe during these ten years."

Bai Lixin's natural expression suddenly froze. His eyes were slightly baffled as he stared at Daoist Yixiao: "Master, what are you talking about?"

"The magic flower of the divine world is born near blood. It is turquoise with petals like as a paper kite and has been hard to find every ten thousand years. If you eat a leaf of it, you will go on the path of immortality! " Daoist Yixiao smiled as he dragged Bai Lixin into the alchemy room and set up a boundary outside the room before slowly reading out a passage, "This is the legend of the Iris that has been circulating in the cultivation world, that is, you. When I went to the Council Hall, I wondered why the Iris that the Nine Heavenly Demon King had raised in the blood pond had disappeared into thin air. I thought since there are demon cultivators in the world, why can't the Iris that has absorbed the essence of the sun and moon for ten thousand years not take human form? Then, for some reason, I suddenly thought of you."

"Of course, it is just my guess. I don't know if it's because of the Ethereal wood and water technique I'm practising, but when I look at you through my consciousness, I occasionally see a very illusory phantom. I see a plant with a turquoise body, very broad leaves, and petals like paper kites spreading its wings and flying. There is indeed no demonic aura about you, but you also make people feel a little better about you for no reason at all. All I can only say is that this illusionary wood and water technique that I have cultivated is too heavenly. "

Bai Lixin: "..."

"After I advanced to the Yuanying stage, I found that the illusion became even more obvious." Daoist Yixiao paused, then suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "What a surprise! The divine magic flower, the Iris, is my disciple, hahaha!

Bai Lixin: "... Master, before you went into seclusion to cultivate, you carried a heart knot because of the future of Xuanyuang peak. Why don't you fear that it will fall because of me? "

Daoist Yixiao: "….hohoho! The Ethereal Wood and Water Technique was left behind by my ancestors, and I was the only one who was able to understand it hundreds of years ago.…oh, no, there was another person, but don't worry, he's already dead."

"The Nine Heavenly Demon King?"Daoist Yixiao nodded with a smile, "I guess you have something to do with this secret book? That's why I was able to see your true form. It is also true that the Ethereal wood and water techniques are related to you, and it was the Nine Heavenly Demon Monarch who finally brought you to life and grew you into such a beautiful form. Little Cha, I have already destroyed the Ethereal wood and water skill, so you don't need to worry about anyone finding out your true form in the meantime, but this is not the way to go. If you don't want to be subjected to others, you have to be strong enough! So, Little Cha, you must make the most of your ten years in the Demon Mystic realm! "
