Li Xiaonan took a moment to swallow a dozen or so elixirs, faintly feeling that accumulating Golden Yuan Power was not as difficult as before.
As the elixirs entered his abdomen, they transformed into drops of golden liquid True Essence stored in his Dantian.
Aside from still being unable to sense Yuan Ying, everything else was nearly the same as during his peak.
He and Yuan Xian'er followed the Golden Jade Good Fortune Shopkeeper as they flew westward.
With the elixirs mysteriously disappearing from Golden Jade Good Fortune, it was only natural to report it immediately and then replenish the stock.
In the cultivation world, all of this seemed quite troublesome, but for powerful immortals, acquiring and selling goods often only required one person.
Take the Shopkeeper of Golden Jade Good Fortune, for instance; with his late-stage Celestial Being cultivation, he was indeed formidable.
On a moonless night with a strong wind, everything around was eerily quiet, giving off a somewhat strange vibe.
Qian Feng, the Shopkeeper of Golden Jade Good Fortune, furrowed his brow as he sensed two inconspicuous little black dots trailing behind him at a consistent distance, never leaving his side.
These two fellows had low cultivation levels yet dared to secretly follow me; they certainly had some guts. It seems that the theft of the elixirs is closely related to them. Once I capture them, I will interrogate them thoroughly.
Li Xiaonan noticed that the figure ahead suddenly changed direction and flew toward him, thinking to himself: This is bad; I've been discovered.
With no other choice, Li Xiaonan hurriedly struck out with a palm. Without Yuan Ying to circulate Golden Yuan Power for support, this strike was neither flashy nor substantial; it felt soft and weak.
Qian Feng snorted coldly, flicking his sleeve to dissipate Li Xiaonan's palm force, his gaze turning icy as it landed on Yuan Xian'er.
Although her face was partially obscured by a thin veil, Qian Feng recognized her at once. Remembering her strange behavior earlier that day, he quickly concluded that she was the culprit behind the missing elixir.
He coldly declared, "Thief, where do you think you're running?"
Li Xiaonan scoffed, pulling Yuan Xian'er behind him. "Nonsense! We’re not the ones trying to escape; it’s you who should be running!"
He slowly closed his eyelids and summoned the Spirit Tree in his mind. A beam of white light shot out from his forehead, aimed directly at Qian Feng's head.
"Ah!" Qian Feng screamed as he fell to the ground.
It felt as if a hand had reached into his Spirit Platform, stirring things up and causing an indescribable wave of nausea to rise within him.
Li Xiaonan smiled slightly, snapped his fingers, and released the mental control over Qian Feng.
At the same time, he had also grasped the location of the Golden Jade Good Fortune Elixir Vault.
Moreover, the identity of the Boss behind Golden Jade Good Fortune was just as he had previously suspected—it was indeed Old Friends of the Yellow Emperor.
He pondered to himself that the Yellow Emperor had not treated him poorly. If he were to steal someone else's elixir, it would seem rather ungrateful. He decided instead to borrow it.
First, he would restore his cultivation and then return it in full later.
With this thought in mind, he spared Qian Feng's life and turned to Yuan Xian'er. "Xian'er, I know where the Elixir Vault is. Let’s go!"
Qian Feng lay on the ground, clearly hearing Li Xiaonan's words. His body twitched slightly as he felt a surge of panic upon seeing them about to leave.
He could not allow these two to escape alive.
He bit his tongue, the salty and bitter taste of blood spreading between his teeth, the pain waking him up considerably.
He rolled over and shouted, "Thief, don't run!" A celestial sword flew from his hand, aiming straight for Li Xiaonan's neck.
Li Xiaonan frowned slightly and replied irritably, "Can't you change your lines? If you're not annoyed, I certainly am. Carefree, go!"
Carefree Fan transformed into human form and directly disarmed Qian Feng with a swift motion, his right hand sweeping away the connection between the celestial sword and Qian Feng.
"Poof... how... how is this possible? A Celestial Artifact!"
"I have a Buddhist Artifact too. I was going to spare you for your master's sake, but since you insist on following me, you can't blame me. Seven-Level Pagoda, go!"
A loyal servant could definitely cause trouble. Li Xiaonan didn't want to take Qian Feng's life, but he couldn't let this person escape either; otherwise, it would be bad for him.
The golden and exquisite Pagoda flew from his palm and landed on Qian Feng's head, enveloping him in a golden light.
The sound of Buddhist chants echoed through the sky as Qian Feng knelt on the ground, trembling all over, tears streaming down his face in an instant.
"I know my mistake..."
Li Xiaonan nodded in satisfaction. He had collected nearly one hundred million Buddha's Envoys in the Demon Realm before; he didn't expect that converting a celestial being would be so easy now.
"Amitabha, put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." Li Xiaonan clasped his hands together and took Qian Feng into the pagoda.
"Poof." Yuan Xian'er beside them could no longer hold back her laughter.
Li Xiaonan touched his face in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
Yuan Xian'er shook her head and said, "You don't seem like yourself at all; it reminds me of Qing An!"
Li Xiaonan paused for a moment, his mind conjuring the image of that gentle face like a breath of fresh air. He wondered if he had ascended yet.
The Buddhist Realm had opened, which was good news for those monks.
After a brief moment of distraction, he suddenly grabbed Yuan Xian'er’s hands, using his other hand to tease her slender waist, laughing, "Alright, you're with me, yet you're thinking about another man? Let me show you how to be taught a lesson!"
Yuan Xian'er squirmed uneasily, feeling weak all over. She giggled, "Stop... please... I can't take it... giggle... I was wrong... Xiao Nan..."
Li Xiaonan's lips curled into a smile as he pulled her soft body into his embrace, saying, "Look at me; you can only think of me!"
Yuan Xian'er nodded, her face flushed as she leaned into his arms.
As dawn broke, Li Xiaonan held Yuan Xian'er and shifted positions continuously.
The Golden Jade Good Fortune's Elixir Vault was somewhat distant from the Cloud Sky Pavilion's planet.
Li Xiaonan calculated the time; if all went well, he should be able to recover his cultivation within three days and return to the Cloud Sky Pavilion.
He took out the Star Compass and checked it against the surroundings. A milky white little planet appeared somewhat lonely in this vast star field.
Several red dots confirmed the presence of life forms on the planet.
Oh, this place is quite close to Soulmate's hometown.
He had always invited me to visit him there. Once my brother's matters are settled, I should indeed pay a visit.
He put away the Star Compass and fixed his gaze on the milky-white planet ahead, moving towards it.
Before long, a figure in black, Lu Nishang, appeared in this starry region. She frowned and murmured, "How did Brother Xiaonan end up at White Wood Star?"
Tilting her head, she stopped thinking too much and followed suit.
"Xiao Nan, is this the Elixir Vault of Golden Jade Good Fortune?" Yuan Xian'er released her spiritual sense, scanning the overgrown wasteland.
The cold wind howled as half-meter-tall weeds swayed gracefully, seemingly mocking the two figures in the air.
Li Xiaonan touched his nose with his index finger and said, "It's too quiet... There’s not even a hint of life!"
The two exchanged glances and saw the amusement in each other's eyes.
Yuan Xian'er remarked, "Indeed, they've overdone the concealment. It seems there's a formation protecting this place!"
Li Xiaonan nodded. "If there weren't a formation, that would be strange. Don't worry; we still have a Shopkeeper with us!"
With a thought, he summoned Qian Feng.
Qian Feng immediately understood Li Xiaonan's intent. He clasped his hands together in a gesture of respect and then began to form seals with his hands, sending several beams of light towards the desolate ground.
A white Light Barrier flickered into view, revealing a magnificent underground city.
"What an impressive sight," Li Xiaonan couldn't help but exclaim.
He pulled Yuan Xian'er into the Seven-Level Pagoda and followed Qian Feng as they descended.
"Brother Qian, what brings you here?" The one guarding the only entrance to the city was actually a late-stage Golden Immortal.
Hiding inside the Seven-Level Pagoda, Li Xiaonan was relieved that he had subdued Qian Feng; otherwise, even if he knew the method to enter the Elixir Vault, he would have been in for a fierce battle.
Qian Feng smiled and said, "Isn't it because business is booming? I'm here to collect some elixirs!"
The guarding immortal showed no suspicion and stepped aside to let Qian Feng pass.
Qian Feng nodded with a smile and stepped onto the narrow wooden bridge, which immediately creaked under his weight.
As Qian Feng ventured deeper, Li Xiaonan grew increasingly impressed by the construction of this underground city.
It was essentially a maze reminiscent of the third installment of the Immortal series. Back then, while using a guide to help Chen Mo navigate the map, he had nearly gotten sick from all the twists and turns. He never expected that such a treacherous dungeon actually existed in reality.
Moreover, under the protection of the formation, he found that he couldn't use his divine sense to scout ahead; even his Mental Power could only probe out to about a hundred meters.
Just as Li Xiaonan was marveling at this, Qian Feng arrived at the entrance of a dark red treasure vault.
"Bodhisattva, you can come out now. The Emperor has instructed that each time I can only take ten boxes, which is ten thousand elixirs. Any more than that, and I won't be able to break through the restrictions!"
As Qian Feng spoke, he waved his right hand, and ten large camphor wood boxes opened simultaneously, revealing neatly arranged jade vials inside—these were the most popular Moon Rainbow Pills in the immortal realm and exactly what Li Xiaonan needed at that moment.
"Thanks," Li Xiaonan said as he recalled Qian Feng into the Seven-Level Pagoda and began to swallow the elixirs directly.
He took out one by one the elixirs that Yuan Xian'er had previously placed in his Soul Ring.
Yuan Xian'er was startled and blocked his path. "Xiao Nan, eating them like this will cause an explosion!"
"Don't worry, your husband has such thick skin and great elasticity; he won't burst," he said, tugging at his own skin while holding Yuan Xian'er's hand.
"You still have time to joke... Did you take such a big risk just for Mo Yu?"
A pang of jealousy surged in Yuan Xian'er's heart. Although she knew she shouldn't feel negative emotions, she couldn't help it.
Li Xiaonan gently rubbed her palm and said softly, "Silly girl, it's not just for Mo Yu, but also for my brother, for myself, and for you all. Only by recovering my cultivation as soon as possible can I protect you!"
Yuan Xian'er nodded. "Is that enough? Should I get you some more?"
She turned to leave but was pulled back into Li Xiaonan's embrace.
"What’s wrong? Are you jealous?"
"No..." Yuan Xian'er lightly scrunched her nose and turned her head away.
Li Xiaonan chuckled and gently tapped her nose.
"I like it when you're jealous. Although it makes me feel guilty, I'm still very happy because it shows me how much you care about me. It also helps me understand my own feelings. Xian'er, I love you!"
With a flushed face, Yuan Xian'er suddenly lifted her head and quickly pecked his lips before breaking free from Li Xiaonan's embrace to retrieve the Moon Rainbow Pill from the box.
Li Xiaonan smiled faintly and began to consume the elixirs.
An hour passed, and Li Xiaonan finished the celestial pills he had stolen earlier, along with swallowing eight hundred boxes of them.
The nearly one million Moon Rainbow Pills caused his body to undergo rapid changes.
Intense pain ravaged every nerve in Li Xiaonan's body, and he couldn't help but roar in agony, already regretting his decision.
What was I thinking? Breaking through on someone else's territory is like a dung beetle crawling out of its hole to look for shit.
It turned out that every time Li Xiaonan acted foolishly, the consequences were severe.
His roar immediately attracted the attention of the mistress of the underground palace.
The door was flung open with a bang.
Li Xiaonan hunched over and raised his head slightly, only to see Zhao Lingshan glaring at him in a golden feathered robe.
This is bad. Sun Wukong warned me not to let Xian'er see this woman.
He turned to look back, relieved to see Yuan Xian'er’s veil intact, feeling a bit of relief wash over him.
But then Yuan Xian'er suddenly spoke up, "It's you! I've seen you before!"
