“I have already calculated it. The Qingshan Sect's current destiny is just like Lu Ming's—it is no longer a certainty of death!”
Hearing Huo Furong ask him to calculate the Qingshan Sect's destiny again, the Grand Elder stroked his beard and said.
“Ah? Still like that? It was like that last time, and it's still like that now. Has there been no change recently?” Huo Furong said, somewhat depressed.
Hanyan's gaze was calm, and he did not say a word.
“This is already very good. Don't be ungrateful!”
“Let me tell you, don't you dare act recklessly. Don't mess up the situation that Lu Ming worked so hard to turn around!”
Seeing the expressions of the two, the Grand Elder instructed them uneasily.
“Our most important task right now is still to cooperate well with Lu Ming, and to cooperate with the one on his head...”
The Grand Elder now understood why they were all stepping stones. He also understood why Lu Ming could turn his destiny around while they could only worry in vain. The kid had a backer!
“We get it... Haven't we been cooperating pretty well all these years?” Huo Furong pouted.
“Pretty well? If I hadn't gone last time, you would have almost made a move!” the Grand Elder said, glaring at Huo Furong.
Speaking of which, the Grand Elder remembered something and looked at Huo Furong. “Weren't you supposed to protect Lu Ming's illegitimate sect? Why did you run back?”
“Don't let that sect the kid painstakingly raised get wiped out by someone!”
“He'll be heartbroken when the time comes!”
Hanyan also looked at Huo Furong with curiosity.
“Sigh... They are preparing to enter the secret realm. To target Lu Ming, those worthless brats made a rule that only Mahayana stage cultivators can enter.”
“The Bandit Sect doesn't have any Mahayana stage cultivators, so I sent them back!”
Speaking up to this point, Huo Furong giggled. “Don't worry. With me showing up to establish dominance, it's already an act of mercy if the Bandit Sect doesn't bully others in the Central Province now. Who would dare to bully them!”
Hearing her say this, the Grand Elder was still uneasy, so he performed a divination for Bao Duoduo!
Well, there was no danger to his life!
However, looking at Huo Furong and Hanyan, he was still worried. He was afraid that because of the change in destiny, these two would let themselves go too much and disrupt Lu Ming's progress!
No, he had to find some things for these two to do!
Lu Ming was currently accompanied by the Sect Master, so he didn't need anyone. Big Yellow was with Lu Ming, so it didn't need anyone either!
Huang Tianbao was in the Xuanming Great World, so he didn't need anyone for the time being!
Immediately, his fingers flew as he began to perform a divination, checking where they might need help!
“Huo Furong, go and check on Zhu Wuneng and the others right now. Give them some help in secret...”
Huo Furong was startled. “Where are they now?”
At this moment, she also remembered that the pig was looking for their Qingshan Sect. It had been several years, and she didn't know where the fellow had wandered off to! They hadn't moved recently, so it shouldn't have been hard to find!
“They are at the Ancient Demon Clan's base!”
“What? How did they end up at the Ancient Demon Clan's base?” Huo Furong asked, rather surprised. Wasn't this gap a bit too big?
Hanyan was also somewhat surprised!
The Grand Elder shook his head. “Who knows!”
“Anyway, just keep an eye on them in secret. Do not intervene unless their lives are in danger!”
“Fine!”
Huo Furong left, carrying her alchemy furnace!
At the moment she departed, she was still decomposing the Heavenly Dao rules and tossing them into the alchemy furnace!
Watching this, the Grand Elder's eyelids twitched. Huo Furong's alchemy skills seemed to have improved again!
Still, he reminded her, “Be careful. Don't blow up the furnace while you're walking!”
"Boom..."
Just as his voice fell, a loud explosion resounded in the void!
The corners of both the Grand Elder's and Hanyan's mouths twitched.
With her hair looking like a messy bird's nest and her face covered in black soot, Huo Furong miserably revealed herself in mid-air!
“Boss, you actually cursed me!”
The Grand Elder smacked his lips. “Look at you. Why are you blaming me? I was just kindly reminding you!”
“It was you who cursed me! I hadn't blown up my furnace for three whole hours...”
With her messy hair, Huo Furong walked away, grumbling and swearing!
“Cough... Hanyan, go to the Great Qin Dynasty and keep an eye on things in secret!” The Grand Elder coughed lightly and spoke to Hanyan.
Hanyan was startled and looked at the Grand Elder with confusion. “Why?”
The Grand Elder's eyes narrowed. “They are able to contend with the Ancient Imperial Clan for the human race's fortune. I feel like the Ancient Imperial Clan is about to enter the mortal world!”
Hearing the Grand Elder say this, Hanyan asked no more. With a flash of his figure, he vanished from the Qingshan Sect!
Seeing Hanyan disappear, the Grand Elder walked to the doorway and couldn't help but pinch the bridge of his nose, feeling an indescribable exhaustion!
Then, with a sorrowful expression, he looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. He perfectly displayed the loneliness and desolation of an elderly man left behind!
It was truly a sight that would make anyone who saw it weep, and weep even harder upon a second look!
Up in the void, Huo Furong, with her messy bird's-nest hair, said to Hanyan beside her, “Boss looks a bit pitiful... To change the destiny of everyone in our Qingshan Sect, he has been working so hard day in and day out, planning and scheming behind the scenes all these years...”
Hanyan stared at the Grand Elder's lonely figure and remained silent!
Just when Huo Furong thought Hanyan agreed with her, Hanyan's cold voice rang out: “He's faking it.”
As soon as his voice fell, the Grand Elder below trembled! The lonely aura surrounding him instantly faltered.
Huo Furong, who was nearby, immediately gnashed her teeth in anger and jumped straight out of the void. “Great! How dare you toy with my emotions, Boss!”
The Grand Elder looked helpless. “What would I want that thing for? It's not food, it's not drink. Besides, do you even have emotions?”
“You... you bad old man, you're wicked to the core!”
After shouting, Huo Furong turned around and left!
“How much longer do you think the Grand Elder can live?” Huo Furong asked, smoothing down her messy hair.
Hanyan's eyes were deep. “I don't know! Back then, I felt that his state wasn't very good...”
Speaking up to this point, Hanyan paused for a moment before continuing, “That divination back then still damaged his foundation...”
Huo Furong nodded silently, then muttered, “Does that mean he can only go to Little Huang's Xuanming Great World to retire?”
Hanyan looked up at Huo Furong. “That depends on whether you can refine the Hunyuan Longevity-Securing Pill.”
Huo Furong's expression darkened. “The formula for the Hunyuan Longevity-Securing Pill was passed down from the Immortal Ancient era. Many of the spiritual herbs listed in it are things I've never even heard of.”
The Hunyuan Longevity-Securing Pill could repair one's foundation and extend longevity. Old injuries left behind by cultivators who had long used forbidden techniques or overdrawn their bloodline origin could be completely healed. If consumed by someone whose lifespan was near its end, it could renew their life and stabilize the foundation of their destiny star.
This pill formula was actually found by Huo Furong years ago in a somewhat damaged jade slip within the Qingshan Sect.
After finding this formula, over the years, aside from refining the poison to kill the Heavenly Dao, she had been searching for the spiritual herbs inside it. Hanyan and the Sect Master were also looking for them.
Yet, unfortunately, several of the spiritual herbs were completely unheard of, let alone found.
She suspected that those spiritual herbs were from the Immortal Ancient era and had already gone extinct.
Hanyan also sighed. “Are there really no substitutes?”
Huo Furong shook her head helplessly.
