Ever since he learned the Wonder Gate Pill Appraisal Technique, Ouyang Yu's efficiency had increased by a lot. However, this Pill Sample Technique used up a lot of Zhen Qi, and with his meagre Immortal Qi, he could not even identify two or three bottles a day. But as far as he was concerned, this was good as well. He could get a pill in half a month's time, and it was considered to be not bad. At this moment, Ouyang Yu had just thrown a pill into a small bottle. He tilted his head back and was sweating profusely. He was panting heavily, thinking, "This pill inspection really isn't something a human can do.

"It's about time to take a bath." Ouyang Yu calculated the time as he spoke.

Just as Ouyang Yu prepared a bag of dregs and was about to take a bath to cultivate, Lingxue Lan suddenly rushed out from the middle of the path. She called out to him, "Ouyang Yu, accompany me to gather some Cliff Orchids." With that, he pulled Ouyang Yu away.

Afterwards, Lingxue and Lan Yu flew to a valley.

"Where is this place?" It feels so dark. " Ouyang Yu saw that the surroundings were desolate and the sky was filled with dark clouds. There was nothing around him, not even a blade of grass. However, the pitch black crows landed on the dried wood remains and stared at them as if they were food.

"This is the Demon Burial Ground. It is said that we cultivators and demons and ghosts fought a great battle here before. After the war, tens of thousands of demons and ghosts died. So, this place is a bit more demonic than the other places, if you find anything uncomfortable, immediately let me know. " Ling Xueran reminded him.

"Master Jian said that this is the closest place to our Ten Thousand Flowers Sect where the Cliff Orchid grows. It should be near the cliff. "Let's go over there and take a look …" Ling Xue Lan looked around before pointing in a certain direction. Soon after, the two of them walked over to the edge of a cliff. Below them was a deep valley with an unfathomable bottom, which was covered in dense black fog.

"Junior brother Ouyang Yu, quickly check if there are any?" Ling Xue Lan asked.

He was just about to get up and tell Ling Xueran, when suddenly, he saw a human-shaped plant between the two cliff walls. If he wasn't mistaken, it was a type of rare and precious plant called the "Human Fruit", which seemed to have a lifespan of two to three months. It was said that this kind of fruit had the effect of prolonging one's life, and was one of the legendary prerequisites to refining the Immortal Pill, he didn't expect it to appear here.

Ouyang Yu knew in his heart that if he could obtain this fruit and refine a Hundred Order Pill, he might be able to cause his immortal seeds to sprout. Of course, he also knew that this idea was very risky because with his cultivation base, it was impossible for him to withstand the spiritual energy and essence of the Hundred Order Pill. However, this was also an opportunity for him. Thus, he could not afford to miss it.

"Senior sister, there is no cliff orchid, but there is something even better. Quickly go down and help me gather it." Ouyang Yu immediately raised his head and called out.

"What good stuff?" Ling Xue Lan asked curiously.

"You go pick them first, I'll tell you when you get up." Ouyang Yu replied.

Just as she landed on the ground and handed it over to Ouyang Yu, she saw a huge black shadow also fly up, revealing its true form. It was actually an eagle-headed humanoid demon, with talon-like limbs and a ferocious face, its entire body covered in black feathers, quickly rushing towards Ouyang Yu.

The two of them were caught off guard, while Ouyang Yu, who was carrying the human fruit, was caught by the Demon Eagle in midair and flew into the deep valley.

"Junior brother Ouyang Yu …" Upon seeing this, Ling Xue Lan immediately soared into the air, wanting to save Ouyang Yu, but the Demon Hawk's claws suddenly loosened and Ouyang Yu immediately plummeted into the depths of the ravine.

Ling Xue Lan's expression changed as she swooped down, trying to catch Ouyang Yu.

The Demon Eagle seemed to have been waiting for this opportunity as it charged towards the back of Lingxue Lan. Just as Ling Xue Lan grabbed onto Ouyang Yu, she suddenly felt a sharp pain from her back. Being caught off guard, she was struck by one of the black lights. Immediately, her body became unstable as she fell into the ravine along with Ouyang Yu.

It was also at this moment that a violet light flashed from Ouyang Yu's body, causing him and Lingxue Lan to abruptly float in the air. After pausing for a moment, they could only feel an evil aura rising from Ouyang Yu's body, as his cold and gentle voice snorted a few times. With a splash, the duo who had fallen into the ravine were lucky enough to fall into a pool of clear water. "Ouyang Yu choked on a few mouthfuls of water before he regained his senses.

"Senior apprentice-sister." Ouyang Yu hurriedly grabbed onto Ling Xueyan, who was about to fall into the lake, and swam back to the shore. He lifted Ling Xueyan up, placed her on a flat grass patch, and shouted while shaking her.

At this moment, Ling Xue Lan was unconscious. Her face was pale and her breathing was faint.

"Senior must have been severely injured and drowned, what should we do now?" Ouyang Yu said anxiously. Right at this moment, he suddenly realized that a weak silver light flashed from Ling Xue Lan's lower abdomen. It vaguely took shape. It was a sprout from an immortal seed that had yet to sprout.

"Is this Senior Sister's immortal seed? Something doesn't feel right. " Upon closer inspection, Ouyang Yu discovered that the seed's roots were withering.

"Perhaps this way …" Ouyang Yu suddenly had an idea. He hastily carried her to a place where the lake wasn't too deep or shallow. After sitting down, he entered the two people's chests. He then scattered the dregs around the two of them.

"Senior Sister, hold on a little longer, I will definitely let your immortal seeds come back to life." Ouyang Yu's eyes narrowed as he began to channel what little amount of true energy he had into her body to help her absorb the nutrients from the dregs into the withering seed.

At the same time, the true energy within Ling Xueran's body started to scurry about. One of the true energy rushed into Ouyang Yu's palm and entered his body. Suddenly, that surge of true qi began to circulate rapidly, breaking through the true qi within Ouyang Yu's body and flowing into the meridians in his body. In an instant, it filled all of his muscles and veins, and after a short while, Ouyang Yu's meridians would explode and die.

"Just a bit more, just a bit more. Ouyang Yu's face also turned deathly pale and in pain. However, he endured the pain and used all his strength to send out all the nutrients he had into the immortal seed within Ling Xueran's body. Soon, he felt his consciousness grow blurry.

"This won't do …" But if he were to directly eat it like this, it might bring about unimaginable consequences. However, he did not hesitate to directly put the fruit into his mouth, and then directly absorb the spirit energy and essence from the fruit into the immortal seed, before transforming into a steady flow of true energy and sending it into Ling Xueran's body.

After a long while, the true energy within her body seemed to have calmed down a lot, and the immortal seed in her lower abdomen started to recover its radiance. However, the true energy that entered Ouyang Yu's body continued to wreak havoc without any fear. In addition to the spiritual energy and essence within the fruits, his weak body was unable to withstand the surging true energy that was continuously generated by the seeds, and just as he was about to be unable to withstand it, a violet light suddenly flickered in his lower abdomen, and a purple light gushed out from the seeds and rushed into his veins. It formed a meridian vortex, beginning to absorb the devouring true energy and the remaining spiritual energy and essence from the fruits one by one. At the same time, a change occurred at the bottom of the seed, and a small tail suddenly extended outwards. With a groan, he collapsed into the lake and immediately lost consciousness.

At this moment, the unconscious Ling Xue Lan suddenly opened her eyes and realized that she was in the water with Ouyang Yu beside her. She tried to wake Ouyang Yu up, but seeing that there was no response from Ouyang Yu, she became worried and hurriedly flew back to the Ten Thousand Flowers Sect with Ouyang Yu's flying magic tool.

"Strange, where did this boy go?" Jindan searched the entire pill room, but didn't find any trace of Ouyang Yu. He couldn't help but grumble angrily, "Could it be that this kid learned how to be lazy? "Where did he go to play while I was not around? To think I spent so much effort to train him, he is really disappointing."

Jian Dan had not finished muttering when he suddenly heard a pained voice coming from outside the pill room, "Senior Master Jian, are you there? "Hurry up and go out …"

"Little girl Xue Lan?" When Jindan heard the voice, she immediately recognized the voice and quickly rushed out of the pill room. When she went outside to take a look, she was immediately shocked to see Ling Xuelan's miserable state, with her clothes tattered and revealing her bruised skin. As for Ouyang Yu, who was being supported by Ling Xuelan, he was leaning against her unconscious body.

Ling Xue Lan immediately explained what had happened.

"Oh you, I really don't know what to say to you." As she spoke, she glanced at Ling Xueran, noticing that her aura was off. Her expression suddenly shook as she asked, "Little girl, what happened to you just now?"

"Senior Uncle Jian, didn't I tell you earlier?" Ling Xue Lan said in confusion.

"No, that's not right. The Immortal seed in your body seems to have withered before." Jindan decided.

"How is this possible? Aren't I still fine?" Ling Xue Lan said in confusion.

"However, when I woke up just now, I found myself lying next to Ouyang Yu in a lake of water with a rich medicinal smell. Ouyang Yu was lying beside me, as if he had treated my wounds." Ling Xue Lan asked uncertainly.

"Maybe Ouyang Yu saved your life." Jindan couldn't help but glance at the unconscious Ouyang Yu.

"Go to the side and heal yourself first, I'll wake Ouyang Yu up first." As soon as Jindan finished speaking, she immediately helped Ouyang Yu sit down at the side before channeling zhenqi into him. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his zhenqi was being absorbed like nutrients. He hastily withdrew his hands.

"Open Spirit Eyes …" Jindan did not understand the situation and was worried that his zhen qi might harm Ouyang Yu. It hurriedly combined its two fingers and after it passed by Ouyang Yu, its eyes instantly flashed with a green light. It could directly see the direction of the zhen qi within Ouyang Yu's body.

At this moment, in Ouyang Yu's lower abdomen, waves of zhenqi mixed with purple light formed an inverted triangle. In the middle of the triangle, the light from the tail of the immortal sprout flickered.

"Sheng …" Rooting... "How is this possible …" cried Jane, aghast.

"Junior Master Jian, what happened to Ouyang Yu?" Ling Xue Lan, who was currently recuperating, hurriedly opened her eyes and asked when she heard Jindan's shout.

"This is simply too unbelievable. In less than two months, Ouyang Yu's celestial seed had already taken root within him. Just what had this boy done? " Jindan said incredulously, because it was a miracle.

"How is this possible? Even Senior Brother Qin Feng, who had allowed the seed to take root for five years, was astonishing enough. But Ouyang Yu only used two months. " Ling Xue Lan was also extremely shocked.

"Sometimes, only when one is on the verge of death can one experience great enlightenment. Could it be that this boy has encountered such a lucky chance?" He didn't know that Ouyang Yu had directly eaten a hundred-year-old fruit in order to save Ling Xue Lan, causing the seed to take root.

"Looks like I really have to congratulate him. Even I took eight years to get the seed to take root. I never thought that in just two months, he would suddenly break through into Foundation Establishment and entered the Qi Condensation stage. The heavens are truly unfair! " Ling Xueran looked at Ouyang Yu, who was still unconscious, and spoke with both envy and worry.

"Speaking of which, I've never seen you so close to any of your fellow disciples. I feel that you're a little special to Ouyang Yu." Jindan said meaningfully.

"Martial Uncle Jian …" Ling Xuelan said in a displeased tone, as her beautiful face turned red.
