I created Qin Tianjian in modern times

Bai Yifei's offensive became more and more fierce, but Lu Xueyao relied on her superb swordsmanship and keen insight to always hold her position firmly.

Suddenly, Bai Yifei flashed and turned into a shadow and pounced towards "Star Blue".

He obviously intended to take the spiritual herbs while Lu Xueyao was not prepared. But would Lu Xueyao let him succeed so easily?
She was as fast as the wind and instantly stood between Bai Yifei and the spiritual grass. She swung her sword and the sword energy was so strong that Bai Yifei had to retreat several steps.

"Bai Yifei, don't even think about succeeding!" Lu Xueyao said coldly, with a determined light flashing in her eyes.

There was a hint of viciousness in Bai Yifei's eyes, but he had no intention of giving up.

The two men fought again, sword energy was everywhere, and the leaves in the forest were blown all over the place by the storm stirred up by the sword energy.

Their figures moved quickly in the moonlight, and every collision made a deafening sound.

However, during this fierce confrontation, Lu Xueyao suddenly felt a sharp pain.

It turned out that in a previous confrontation, Bai Yifei's sword energy accidentally cut her left arm, and blood immediately dyed her sleeve red.

Bai Yifei was overjoyed when he saw this, thinking it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

He attacked more fiercely, trying to defeat the injured Lu Xueyao in one fell swoop. However, Lu Xueyao did not fall down. She gritted her teeth, endured the severe pain, and danced the long sword in her hand more rapidly.

"You want spiritual herbs? You have to get past me first!" Lu Xueyao roared, and rushed towards Bai Yifei like the wind. Her swordsmanship suddenly became strange and unpredictable, making Bai Yifei overwhelmed.

In this life-and-death battle, Lu Xueyao gradually gained the upper hand with her tenacious perseverance and superb swordsmanship.

Bai Yifei was horrified when he saw this. He knew that if he continued like this, he would be defeated miserably. So he decided to retreat and look for a chance to leave.

However, Lu Xueyao did not give him this opportunity. She swung her sword, and the sword energy pierced through the sun like a rainbow, slashing towards Bai Yifei.

Bai Yifei dodged hastily, but it was too late. The sword hit his right arm hard, and blood immediately flowed.

"Ah!" Bai Yifei screamed and staggered backward.

He knew that he had lost his fighting ability and staying would only lead to his death. So he glared at Lu Xueyao fiercely and fled the scene.

Lu Xueyao breathed a sigh of relief as she watched Bai Yifei leaving.

Although the battle was won, it came at a great cost - the wound on her left arm was so deep that the bone was visible and required immediate treatment.

She also felt a wave of weakness, apparently caused by excessive blood loss.

She endured the pain and walked forward, carefully picked the few "Star Blue" spiritual herbs and put them in her arms, then staggered towards the direction of Qi Tian Sect, her heart filled with joy and pride - she successfully prevented Bai Yifei from obtaining these precious spiritual herbs!
The moonlight sprinkled on Lu Xueyao like water, stretching her figure very long.

The night was dim and the stars twinkled. In a secret room deep inside the Qitian Sect, Sect Master Zhao Qi was staring at Lu Xueyao, who was lying on the bed, dying.

Her face was as pale as paper. Although the wound on her left arm had been treated preliminarily, it was still oozing blood, which was shocking.

"Sect Master, Junior Sister Lu's injuries are serious. She needs a magical medicine called 'Soul-Returning Grass' to heal." The elder reported in a low voice, with deep worry in his eyes.

Zhao Qi took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "The 'Soul-Returning Grass' grows in the extremely dangerous 'Netherworld Valley', but I must go there in person. Elder, you stay at the sect and take good care of Xue Yao."

The elder nodded in agreement, and Zhao Qi turned around and turned into a stream of light, disappearing into the night sky.

Nether Valley, located on the northern edge of Taihao Star, is a mysterious place shrouded in darkness and fog.

It is said that there are not only various ferocious monsters in the valley, but also strange natural traps, and one can die if he is not careful.

But Zhao Qi couldn't care less about so many things. He had only one thought in his mind - to rescue Lu Xueyao.

The moment Zhao Qi stepped into the Nether Valley, a chilly breath hit him in the face.

He walked carefully through the fog, alert to the movements around him. Suddenly, a low roar was heard, and a huge black leopard pounced out from the darkness.

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed, and he dodged like the wind, and at the same time, he slapped out with his palm, knocking the leopard back. He knew that this was just the beginning, and the trial of the Nether Valley had just begun.

As they went deeper into the valley, the monsters they encountered became more and more powerful, but Zhao Qi defeated them one by one with his superb skills and rich combat experience.

Time passed by, Zhao Qi's forehead was covered with sweat. But he did not give up, silently reciting the formula in his mind and quickly forming seals with his hands.

"Break!" Zhao Qi shouted in a low voice, and suddenly put his hands together. A powerful energy surged out from his palms and rushed straight forward.

Zhao Qi heaved a long sigh of relief, stood up and walked towards the 'Resurrection Grass'. The magical elixir was shining faintly under the moonlight, as if telling him a thousand-year-old secret.

Zhao Qi picked it carefully and kept it in a jade box.

However, at this moment, a deafening roar suddenly came from the depths of the Nether Valley.

Zhao Qi's heart tightened, and he secretly said "not good", and rushed to the valley entrance like the wind. He knew that he might have alarmed a powerful being in the valley.

As expected, when he arrived at the entrance of the valley, a huge monster blocked his way.

It was a giant beast emitting black flames all over its body, its eyes flashing with ferocious light, as if it wanted to devour everything.

Zhao Qi put away his sword and turned to leave. He knew that time was running out and he had to rush back to the sect to treat Lu Xueyao.

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were sparse. Bai Yifei stood on the top of the mountain behind Xiaoyao Xianzong, his eyes flashing with determination and enthusiasm.

Ever since he was defeated by Lu Xueyao and lost the precious spiritual herb, he has been shrouded in a deep sense of frustration.

He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the world of immortal cultivation and make the Xiaoyao Immortal Sect stand out among many sects, he had to become stronger.

"For power, I can sacrifice everything." Bai Yifei murmured to himself, holding tightly in his hand a yellowed ancient book, which was a secret book of forbidden techniques that he accidentally discovered in the sect's secret room - "The Netherworld Soul Absorbing Technique".

Although this method is powerful, the practice process is extremely dangerous. If you are not careful, you may go astray or even die.

However, Bai Yifei no longer cared about so much. He urgently needed strength to prove himself and wash away the shame of that failure.

He sat cross-legged and began to practice according to the method in the secret book. The surrounding spiritual energy began to slowly gather, forming a huge vortex that enveloped Bai Yifei.

His face gradually turned pale, but the fanaticism in his eyes became more and more intense.

As time went by, Bai Yifei felt as if his body was being torn apart by a powerful force, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. He knew that this was the only way for him to transform. However, at this moment, something strange happened. The originally peaceful night sky suddenly thundered, and lightning streaked across the sky, as if the sky was angry and the people were resentful.

Bai Yifei was shocked, but he was already in a dilemma and could only continue practicing.

As the thunder approached, a powerful pressure descended on the back mountain.

Bai Yifei felt as if his body was being pressed down by a mountain, unable to move. He finally realized that he might have violated some taboo and brought down a punishment from the heavens.

"No! I can't give up! I want to become stronger!" Bai Yifei roared, trying his best to resist the pressure. His body began to tremble, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth, but he did not flinch.

At this moment, a figure quietly appeared beside Bai Yifei. It was the elder of Xiaoyao Xianzong. A trace of regret and determination flashed in his eyes, and his palm gently pressed on Bai Yifei's head.

"Traitor! How dare you practice forbidden techniques! Today I will enforce justice on behalf of the heavens!"

The elder shouted coldly, and a powerful force surged into Bai Yifei's body, trying to suppress the forbidden power in his body.

However, Bai Yifei raised his head stubbornly, with an unyielding light flashing in his eyes.

"Elder! Please give me a chance! I want to prove my worth!" He roared, trying his best to fight against the elder.

The two forces clashed fiercely in Bai Yifei's body, causing him to feel as if his body was torn apart. But he gritted his teeth and held on. He knew that this was his only chance.

As time passed, the contest between Bai Yifei and the elder entered a white-hot stage.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise, and the power of the two people exploded at the same time. The powerful shock wave destroyed everything around them, leaving only Bai Yifei and the elder standing facing each other.

There was a flash of surprise and approval in the elder's eyes. He slowly withdrew his hand and sighed.

"You are indeed a genius, but practicing forbidden techniques is not the right path after all. I hope you can turn back from your mistakes and stop being stubborn."

Bai Yifei lowered his head, was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and said: "Thank you, Elder, for waking me up. From now on, I will work hard to practice the righteous skills and no longer take shortcuts."

The night was dim, and the gate of the Qitian Sect looked solemn and mysterious under the moonlight.

Zhao Qi, the powerful leader of the Qitian Sect, was wandering alone in front of the mountain gate. His eyes were deep, as if he was looking for something.

Just then, a thin figure came into his sight.

She was a ragged girl, her face was covered in dust, but her pretty face was still visible. She huddled in a corner of the mountain gate, her eyes revealing confusion and helplessness.

Zhao Qi's heart moved, he saw the extraordinary temperament of this girl.

Although she is now down and out on the streets, her innate nobility and tenacity cannot be ignored. Zhao Qi sighed in his heart, maybe this is fate.

He slowly walked up to the girl and asked gently, "Girl, what's your name? Why are you stranded here?"

The girl raised her head, revealing a pair of clear eyes.

She answered timidly, "My name is Liu Ruyan. I don't know why I came here. When I woke up, I was already in this strange land."

Zhao Qi nodded, having made up his mind. He smiled, stretched out his hand, and said.

"Liu Ruyan, are you willing to become my disciple? I will teach you the way of cultivating immortals and let you have a place in this world."

Liu Ruyan was stunned. She obviously did not expect this stranger to make such an invitation.

She widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, "Really? Can I become your disciple?"

Zhao Qi nodded affirmatively, "Of course. As long as you are willing to work hard, you will definitely become a leader in the world of immortal cultivation in the future."

Liu Ruyan was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes. She held Zhao Qi's hand tightly, as if she had found a life-saving straw, "I do! I am willing to be your disciple!"

In this way, Liu Ruyan unexpectedly became a disciple of Qi Tian Sect.

She knew nothing about the world of immortal cultivation, but she accepted the invitation with gratitude, knowing that this was a great opportunity to change her destiny.

However, when Liu Ruyan first entered the sect, she needed to learn various spells and martial arts, and also adapt to the sect's life and rules.

But fortunately, she met a kind but strict master and a group of enthusiastic fellow practitioners.

Under Zhao Qi's careful guidance, Liu Ruyan gradually integrated into the big family of Qi Tianzong.

She began to understand the mysteries and wonders of the world of immortal cultivation, and gradually discovered her own potential and talent. She worked hard to cultivate and continuously improve her strength.

Of course, there are also some lighthearted and funny moments along the way.

For example, during an alchemy class, Liu Ruyan accidentally blew up the alchemy furnace, causing everyone to burst into laughter. Or in the martial arts competition, although she was defeated repeatedly, she was able to learn from experience and make continuous progress.

These experiences made Liu Ruyan more determined to pursue her path of cultivating immortality.

She thanked Zhao Qi for his kindness and also thanked Qi Tian Zong for giving her the opportunity and platform. She knew that only by continuous efforts could she repay the expectations of her master and the sect.

In the alchemy room, the fire was blazing and the aroma of medicine was everywhere.

Liu Ruyan was wearing a light blue alchemist robe, her slender fingers controlling the fire expertly. Her eyes were focused and determined, as if the whole world only consisted of her and the dancing flames.

Lu Xueyao stood aside, watching Liu Ruyan's every move intently.

She had tried to make elixirs before, but always ended in failure, so she was both envious and curious about Liu Ruyan's alchemy skills.

"Ruyan, you are really talented." Lu Xueyao praised sincerely, "I always fail in refining pills. I really don't know how you do it."

Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "In fact, refining the elixir is not difficult. The key is to master the temperature and the combination of herbs. Besides, I have failed many times, but you just didn't see it."

"Really?" Lu Xueyao asked in surprise.

"Of course it's true," Liu Ruyan nodded, "Alchemy requires patience and carefulness, and you can't rush for success. Failure is not terrible. The important thing is to learn from failure and constantly improve your skills."

After listening to Liu Ruyan's words, Lu Xueyao nodded thoughtfully. (End of this chapter)
