Chapter 113: You're precious, I'm worthless

  Mu Zhaoxue appreciated the seagulls flying over the sea, and replied with a good mood: "The sea is not as good as being in the Inverse Heaven Sword Sect. It's chaotic here, so it's always better to be careful."

  Yue Feng's eyebrows rose as he smiled and said: "With such a beautiful Mu Shifu around, what am I afraid of? All the demons will be killed by Mu Shifu's beauty. At that time, we won't even need to take action. Shifu just needs to bat her eyelashes and they'll all be electrocuted to death, haha..."

  Mu Zhaoxue gently patted Ye Feng's head and smiled, although he was a bit oily and smooth-tongued, but it was much better than many sects that only knew how to say flowery praises, such as "descending fish and geese" and "closed moon and ashamed flowers", which really didn't have any feeling.

  The two of them were chatting and laughing, while Ma Hengxin, who was standing aside, gave Ye Feng an unpleasant stare and stepped forward, saying: "May I ask your honorable surname and given name, brother?"

  "Yè Fēng!"

  "So it's Brother Ye, I see you look like a first-time sailor?"

  Ye Feng said disdainfully: "Yes, what instructions?"

  "This sea is no different from the land, full of murderous intentions everywhere," Ma Hengxin said with a cold smile: "Maybe there's a giant python lurking beneath this ship right now."

  Ye Feng patted his chest and put on a frightened expression, saying to Mu Zhaoxue: "It's so dangerous at sea, let's go back."

  Mu Zhaoxue looked at Ye Feng and smiled slightly.

  Ma Hengxin continued with his hands behind his back, "Miss Mu can rest assured, our Dan Yang Alliance is familiar with the coastal areas of Dong Zhou. The coastal areas of Dong Zhou, together with our 'Dan Yang Alliance', have nine major immortal sects, nine major demonic schools and nine major demon clans. Regardless of whether they are righteous or evil, as long as they hear that someone is from the Dan Yang Alliance, they will give us a bit of face. So, as long as I am here, I can guarantee your safety."

  Ye Feng rubbed his forehead and thought: You can just blow here, I think we're safer without you.

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled and said, "Then thank you very much. However, I heard that apart from the nine major immortal sects near the sea that you mentioned earlier, there is also a 'Bisha Alliance' recently, and its sphere of influence is not small either."

  Ma Hengxin shook his head and said, "This Sea Alliance is formed by the union of hundreds of small sects, united for the rich resources at sea, nothing more than wanting to get a share of the pie. This alliance, due to uneven distribution of spoils, is full of internal contradictions, and will soon disperse without joy."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded and said, "So that's how it is. But as far as I know, the people of the Danyang Alliance usually only practice alchemy within their sect and don't easily go out to sea unless there's something special going on. I wonder where Master Ma is headed this time and what he's doing?"

  Ma Hengxin smiled and said: "To be honest, I'm going to visit the 'Lingxu Sword Sect' on Jin Nu Island in the north this time."

  Ye Feng furrowed his brow and said: "Jin Nu Island? Sounds familiar, I think I've heard of it somewhere."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded and said, "This Jin Nu Island in the Eastern Continent can be said to be known to every passerby. It's not that the island became famous after the Ling Xū Sword Sect was established, but on the east side of Jin Nu Island, about half a day's journey by boat, there is a place famous throughout the ages - the Absolute Day Battlefield!"

  "Absolute Day Battlefield!" Ye Feng's interest was piqued upon hearing the name, and he smiled: "I've heard of this place before from Zi Xiao Zhenren. It's called Absolute Day Battlefield because it's said that inside, the sky is completely obscured, not a single ray of sunlight can be seen. In battle, one can only rely on the faint light emitted by the stars to vaguely make out what's in front of them."

  Mu Zhaoxue gazed at the distant sea and continued, "In ancient times, numerous immortals, demon emperors, and evil gods gathered in one place, engaging in an unprecedented massacre. The immense power they unleashed created a chaotic flow of time and space, causing various spaces to intersect, even making the sun disappear within."

  "This is the legendary Three Realms War, right?" Ye Feng said with his arms around his shoulders: "It was precisely because of that great war that the current 'Apocalypse Battlefield' was formed. It's said to be extremely dangerous inside, not only are there many ferocious monsters hiding within, but what's most terrifying is that if you're not careful, you'll fall into the spacetime vortex, your body constantly shuttling back and forth between different spaces, never able to return."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded and said, "The more dangerous the place is, the more treasures are hidden. Many ancient treasures were left on the battlefield, and someone once accidentally discovered a fairy's elixir left behind by an immortal. After taking it, they could directly ascend to immortality. Since then, many people have come to try their luck, willing to risk their lives to enter the Absolute Day Battlefield. Of course, the vast majority of them never returned."

  Ma Heng proudly said with his neck stretched out: "Ma's father had once entered the battlefield of Absolute Day, not only did he come back alive, but also obtained a rare 'Supreme Yang Repelling Evil Dan' formula."

  "Oh, I think only Ma Nan Gong, the leader of the Dan Yang Alliance in the Eastern Continent, knows the alchemy formula for this elixir." Mu Zhao Xue asked with a smile: "So, is Master Ma actually the son of Ma Nan Gong?"

  "That's right."

  Ma Hengxin's face was full of pride, and he casually took out a yellowish dan medicine from his bosom, smiling and saying: "This is the 'Zhī Yáng Bì Xié Dān' (Supreme Yang Evil-Repelling Dan), which my father carefully refined for three years to get this one pellet, it's indeed a fine product."

  Ma Hengxin said, still glancing at Ye Feng with a slanted gaze, as if to say: My dad is the head of the family, and he wants to compete with me for women, so first find a powerful backer.

  Ye Feng glanced at Ma Hengxin and thought: Look at you, aren't you brain-damaged? It's just "Xian Er Dai", if my cultivation is high enough, what's the big deal about "Zhi Yang Bi Xie Dan"? That thing is like bird shit, and you still have the nerve to show it off.

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled slightly and said, "This 'Zhīyáng Bìxié Dān' is a top-grade elixir for expelling evil and driving out demons. It's extremely rare, and Master Ma carries it with him like this, isn't he afraid of being robbed by others?"

  "What's there to be afraid of?" Ma Hengxin's face revealed a domineering and complacent expression: "Our Danyang Alliance is renowned far and wide in these coastal waters, who has the audacity to come and snatch something from me?"

  Ye Feng sighed inwardly, this kid seems to have been blinded by his senior sister's beauty! If he had seen the tyrannical side of his senior sister, I'm afraid his thoughts would be as far-reaching as his speed, and he would flash as fast as light.

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled and said, "The disciples of the Danyang Alliance rarely leave their sect. The 'Zhīyáng Bìxié Dan' is a rare elixir. Today, Master Ma carries this elixir to the Lingxu Sword Sect, surely there's something important?"

  Ma Hengxin's eyes rolled quickly and he smiled: "Hehe, since we're all on the same boat, I don't need to hide it. Ma Mou is on a mission from his father to rescue people at Lingxu Sword Sect."

  "Oh, saving someone? Whose life is so precious that it can even invite the young master of the Dan Yang Alliance to go in person?" Ye Feng said with a sarcastic tone.

  Ma Hengxin glanced at Ye Feng and said, "Hmph, even if I told you, you wouldn't know. It's Zhao Lingzi, the thousand-year-old daughter of the Lingxu Sword Sect's leader."

  "It turned out to be a second-generation immortal saving another second-generation immortal." Ye Feng muttered softly.

  Mu Zhaoxue's eyebrows were tightly locked as she asked, "Do you want to use the 'Zhīyángbìxiédān' to save his life? Did Zhao Lingzi accidentally enter madness during his cultivation?"

  "It's almost there." Ma Hengxin said with his hands behind his back: "Zhao Lingzi's cultivation has already reached the tenth layer of the Golden Elixir stage, and he will soon enter the next stage of Refining the Soul. During the condensation of the Golden Elixir, the Golden Elixir in his body gave birth to a 'Dan Demon'. He is now unconscious, and if we can't get rid of the Dan Demon as soon as possible, Zhao Lingzi's life may be in danger."

  Damn it! Ye Feng thought of this familiar name in his mind: To break through from the Golden Core stage to the next Soul Refining stage, one must condense the spiritual energy within their body into a Golden Core. In the past, there were cases where a Dan Mo was generated when condensing the Golden Core, but such things are extremely rare, not even one in a hundred people would encounter it. This Zhao Lingzi really hit the jackpot, with a winning rate of 1%, I didn't expect to run into her.

  Mu Zhaoxue furrowed her brow and said, "In the past, our sect has also had similar incidents. I have personally witnessed it before - the Dan Demon will slowly absorb the golden elixir that has condensed in a cultivator's body, and as it does so, its own body will gradually grow larger. In the end, after the Dan Demon has swallowed all of the golden elixir inside the cultivator's body, it will tear apart the cultivator's body, break out of its shell, and transform into a true demonic creature."

  "Isn't it just a Dan Demon?" Ye Feng yawned: "Before it breaks out of its dan, we'll just kill it."

  Ma Hengxin gave Ye Feng a glance, his eyes filled with the taste of looking at a country bumpkin: "The Dan Demon is generated inside the Golden Elixir, and the Golden Elixir is condensed in the cultivator's body. If you forcibly extract the Golden Elixir and destroy the Dan Demon in its infancy, it's also possible. However, the Golden Elixir will shatter along with the Dan Demon, and once the Golden Elixir shatters, the cultivator will likely never wake up again. Even if they're lucky enough to wake up, they'll be unable to condense another Golden Elixir for the rest of their life, and their cultivation will never advance again."

  After explaining for half a day, he still didn't answer my question. Ye Feng shook his head and was too lazy to say anything else. Wasn't it just Danmo? Before breaking the dan, Danmo had no spiritual power at all. After eating the nòng zi dan, it directly destroyed Danmo. Where did it look like what he said was so troublesome?

  Ma Hengxin smiled with a pleased expression, his mouth crooked to one side: "Originally, Father was going to personally go to the Lingxu Sword Sect, but because he had other important matters at hand and couldn't leave, however as long as this 'Zhīyáng Bìxié Dān' can be delivered, once Zhao Lingzi swallows it, he will immediately wake up. This peerless medicine can expel any evil spirits from the body, and the Golden Elixir inside won't suffer even a bit of damage from the demonic silk."

  Mu Zhaoxue smiled and said, "It's precisely because the formula for this elixir is only known to Ma Nangong of the Dan Yang Alliance that it's extremely rare. Ma Zhang should not have casually used it to save someone, right? The Ling Xusword Sect must have offered a generous reward to Ma Gongzi's Dan Yang Alliance."

  "Haha... Miss Mu is not only as beautiful as a celestial being, but also incredibly intelligent," Ma Hengxin laughed and said: "That's right, the Lingxu Sword Sect posted an announcement yesterday, recruiting heroes from all over the world. Anyone who can expel the Dan Demon from Zhao Lingzi's body, regardless of their sect or school, will be heavily rewarded by the Lingxu Sword Sect. As one of the Nine Great Sects near the sea, the Lingxu Sword Sect must have a generous offer."
