Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

“Senior, what are you asking for?”

Looking at Chen Tian's outstretched hand, Qin Yi was taken aback and asked with some confusion.

Chen Tian felt depressed upon hearing this, shook his head, and said with a wry smile, “Junior Sister Qin, you wouldn't have forgotten so quickly, would you? The Superior Spirit Pill!”

Qin Yi had said that if someone was willing to help her, she would give them a Superior Spirit Pill. If it weren't for the sake of this pill, Chen Tian wouldn't have helped her back then.

So, seeing that Qin Yi had forgotten about this, Chen Tian felt both depressed and compelled to remind her. It wasn't that he suspected Qin Yi would go back on her word; Chen Tian believed she wasn't that kind of person.

Sure enough, after hearing Chen Tian's reminder, Qin Yi immediately reacted. With a flip of her delicate hand, she took out the small jade bottle she had shown Chen Tian before and respectfully handed it to him, saying, “Senior, please don't blame me. It was just a momentary oversight on my part. Please accept this Superior Spirit Pill.”

It was a vermilion small jade bottle. Although it was daytime and the sunlight was dazzling, faint, dreamlike starlight still shone from the bottle's surface, which was quite magical.

Chen Tian had been very curious about the pill inside, so he took it without hesitation. As soon as he opened the stopper, a radiant, starlight-like glow rose from the mouth of the bottle, and a gentle spiritual energy overflowed. Chen Tian took a sniff and immediately felt a sense of peace in his heart.

Nodding, Chen Tian looked inside and found a purple pill floating in the center of the jade bottle. The brilliant light emanated from its surface.

Seeing this, Chen Tian's eyes narrowed, and he looked up at Qin Yi and asked, “What kind of pill is this, and what is its effect?”

Watching her treasured pill being held by someone else, Qin Yi was clearly reluctant, her face filled with longing. However, Qin Yi also knew that the pill was no longer hers, so she sighed softly and said respectfully, “Replying to Senior, this pill is called the 'Celestial Pivot Essence Nourishing Pill.' It is condensed from dozens of millennia-old cold-attribute spiritual herbs. Although it doesn't directly increase cultivation after consumption, it has the effect of calming the mind, nourishing the essence, and storing energy. It can also help smooth out the huge spiritual force surge after taking other pills, protecting the heart and preserving the meridians!”

“Hmm? Protect the heart and preserve the meridians?”

Hearing Qin Yi's words, Chen Tian was first stunned, but then he was overjoyed.

Chen Tian had been worried about how to refine the Blood Fiend Pill with its immense spiritual power in his body, but now the 'Celestial Pivot Essence Nourishing Pill' that Qin Yi had given him was exactly what he needed.

You must know that the Blood Fiend Pill remaining in Chen Tian's body had extremely powerful spiritual energy. With Chen Tian's current cultivation level, if he wanted to forcibly refine it, the mountain-collapsing and tsunami-like surge would instantly burst all the meridians in Chen Tian's body.

Chen Tian had already suffered this kind of pain twice and was still afraid. He didn't want to experience the excruciating pain of damaged meridians again.

But the Celestial Pivot Essence Nourishing Pill that Qin Yi had given him was cold in nature and had the effect of protecting the heart and preserving the meridians. In that case, when refining the Blood Fiend Pill, wouldn't swallowing this pill at the same time greatly alleviate the damage to his meridians caused by the massive spiritual power?

Chen Tian immediately came back to his senses, and his face quickly returned to its previous composure. With a flash of inspiration, he put the jade bottle and the Celestial Pivot Essence Nourishing Pill inside into his storage ring, planning to slowly refine it after returning to the Ghost Dao Sect later.

After doing all this, Chen Tian frowned slightly, glanced at Qin Yi faintly, and said, “I've accepted this spirit pill. From now on, we will have no more connection. Let's part ways here.”

With that, Chen Tian moved his feet and was about to walk out of the cave.

But who knew that at this moment, Qin Yi rushed to the entrance first, then stretched out her arms and blocked Chen Tian.

Seeing Qin Yi like this, Chen Tian was slightly surprised, stopped, and asked with a frown, “What do you mean by this?”

Hearing Chen Tian's question, a trace of entanglement flashed across Qin Yi's face. After a long while, she seemed to have made up her mind, lightly biting her lip, and said firmly, “Senior, could you please do me another favor?”

“Hmm?”

Chen Tian was puzzled when he heard this. He didn't rush to agree, but asked suspiciously, “Tell me, what kind of favor is it?”

Qin Yi's chest rose and fell sharply, and she gasped for breath. A hint of anger appeared on her originally snow-lotus-like pure face, and she gritted her teeth and said, “Help me kill Long Zaitian and Lu Yonghao!”

“What?” Chen Tian's expression suddenly changed. He never expected that Qin Yi would bring up this matter.

Qin Yi ignored the surprise on Chen Tian's face and continued coldly, “Originally, Senior Brother Fang and I participated in the demon-extermination team, but we didn't expect to encounter a large number of demon beasts besieging us. We were no match for them, so we fled in all directions. Senior Brother Fang protected me and fled south all the way, and was seriously injured while saving me from the pursuit of the demon beasts.

Just when we were desperate, two powerful escaping lights suddenly flew from the distance. We thought that the Shi Xiang Pavilion had sent reinforcements to save us, so we immediately sent out a signal to call for help.

But we never expected that Lu Yonghao and Long Zaitian would be the ones who came. When Long Zaitian saw me and Senior Brother Fang, he suddenly revealed a ferocious look. After whispering a few words in Lu Yonghao's ear, Lu Yonghao immediately attacked us.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Senior Brother Fang pushed me away and ran south with his injured body, trying to lure Lu Yonghao away to create a glimmer of hope for me.

But I didn't expect that I didn't escape in the end, but Senior Brother Fang lost his life. He was protecting me until his death, so this time, it's my turn to do something for him. I must kill this pair of dog masters and disciples, Long Zaitian and Lu Yonghao!”

After staring at Qin Yi for a while, Chen Tian said in a deep voice, “I've already told you that the reason why I was able to scare Lu Yonghao away last time was entirely due to his temporary miscalculation. If we fight head-on, I'm not his opponent at all. What confidence do you have that I can definitely defeat him?”

“I have it! Of course I have it!” Qin Yi was a little excited at this time, and looked at Chen Tian with a firm face, and said, “When I saw Senior for the first time, I felt that Senior was extraordinary and not an ordinary person. And three days ago, you rescued me from the hands of Lu Yonghao and Long Zaitian, which made me feel that you will definitely achieve something in the future. I don't expect you to help me kill them now, I can wait, and keep waiting!”

Chen Tian was a little depressed. He didn't expect Qin Yi to be so persistent. However, Chen Tian was not an impulsive person. After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said, “Okay, then tell me, even if I agree to help you, what will you use to repay me?”
