Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Qin Yi knew that Su Yingxue was a clever girl, and would never easily disturb them unless it was something important.

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Su Yingxue stopped joking and hurried over, saying to Qin Yi, "The 'Returning Spirit Pill' we refined this morning seems to have some problems. I really can't solve it, so I have to ask you to take a look."

"Hmm? Okay, then I'll go take a look." Hearing Su Yingxue's words, Qin Yi's face changed drastically. She knew that the 'Returning Spirit Pill' was at a critical juncture. Once something went wrong, all their previous efforts would be in vain.

Su Yingxue had been learning the art of alchemy from Qin Yi for nearly a hundred years. Ordinary small problems were no match for her, but if even she found something difficult, it was definitely not a small problem. Qin Yi had to go and see for herself.

Thinking this, Qin Yi followed Su Yingxue towards the furnace room.

But just as she took her first step, Qin Yi suddenly felt a dizzy spell, and then her body fell forward.

"Not good!"

As she spoke, Qin Yi struggled to stand up.

"Don't move!"

But at this moment, Chen Tian seemed to have discovered something, and immediately stopped Qin Yi who was about to get up, and said to her in a cold voice, "I ask you, have you ever taken a pill called the Yanling Pill before?"

Hearing the three words 'Yanling Pill' from Chen Tian's mouth, Qin Yi's body trembled violently, and she instantly quieted down. A trace of panic could not help but appear on her face.

"You really took the Yanling Pill! Why are you so foolish!" Seeing Qin Yi's appearance, Chen Tian instantly guessed everything, and then reprimanded her angrily.

Qin Yi didn't say anything after hearing this, but deeply lowered her head.

"What are you talking about? What is the Yanling Pill?"

Listening to the conversation between Chen Tian and Qin Yi, Su Yingxue was a little confused, at a loss.

Qin Yi still didn't speak, but it could be seen that some crystal tears were constantly swirling in her eyes.

Chen Tian sighed long when he saw this, and then said helplessly: "This Yanling Pill is an extremely strange pill. Taking it has a 70% chance of allowing a Spirit Gathering stage cultivator to break through to the Transformation Spring Realm!"

"Huh, in that case, isn't the Yanling Pill a very good pill? Sect Master, why were you so angry just now?" After hearing Chen Tian's explanation, Su Yingxue looked puzzled.

Generally, if a cultivator cultivates normally, there is only a less than 20% chance of breaking through from the Spirit Gathering stage to the Transformation Spring Realm. After taking the Yanling Pill, the chance of success is suddenly increased by 70%. Isn't this a great thing? Then why was Chen Tian so angry just now? Su Yingxue was indeed a little confused.

Looking at Su Yingxue's confused face, the bitter smile on Chen Tian's face became even stronger. He sighed and said, "Although the Yanling Pill can help cultivators greatly increase the chance of breaking through to the Transformation Spring Realm, at the same time, taking it will plunder half of their lifespan and trap them in the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm forever, so that they cannot grow even a bit! And because of this, this Yanling Pill is also known as the Life-Stealing Pill, ranking first among the seven evil pills in the cultivation world!"

"What? How could this be!" Hearing this, Su Yingxue immediately panicked.

She really didn't expect that this Yanling Pill was so strange, while helping cultivators improve their cultivation, it also plundered half of their lifespan and permanently stopped at the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm.

"I ask you, when exactly did you swallow the Yanling Pill?" Chen Tian ignored the stunned Su Yingxue, but asked Qin Yi, who was still silent.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Qin Yi sighed and slowly said, "When Senior Han and I were trapped in the Brahma Sect, we used the power of the Brahma Sect to collect the pill formula of the Yanling Pill, and then refined and took it."

"What? It was at that time?"

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Chen Tian was shocked. After a calculation, he was horrified: "It's been almost two hundred years since the Brahma Sect was destroyed, and the lifespan of the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm is only five hundred years. If you subtract half, wouldn't you only have fifty years left to live?"

Chen Tian was anxious, he really didn't expect that Qin Yi had really taken the Yanling Pill, and had been hiding it from him for two hundred years.

When Qin Yi said just now that she fainted because of overwork, Chen Tian already felt something was wrong, so he secretly released a trace of spiritual power and scanned the woman's body.

And the final result of the inspection made Chen Tian very surprised. He found that the vitality in Qin Yi's body was extremely weak, and her state was like a remnant candle that was about to burn out, and could be extinguished by the wind at any time.

This is definitely not a normal phenomenon. After some thought, Chen Tian suddenly thought that Qin Yi's condition was exactly the same as taking the Yanling Pill, so he forced her to ask.

How much Chen Tian hoped that all this was just his illusion, but he never expected that Qin Yi had actually taken the Yanling Pill, and it had been nearly two hundred years.

You must know that the lifespan of a cultivator in the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm is only five hundred years. But after taking the Yanling Pill, half of the lifespan will be forcibly plundered, and taking the Yanling Pill is equivalent to being trapped in the early stage of the Transformation Spring Realm forever and unable to improve.

In other words, Qin Yi only has less than fifty years of life left!

Thinking of this, Chen Tian became more and more anxious. He stared at Qin Yi, who was lying in his arms, and asked loudly: "Why did you do this? Why did you take the Yanling Pill? Why... are you so foolish?"
