"Friend Daoist, your actions this time are a bit too domineering!"

The Pharmacist's eyes were fixed on Yu Yuan, shimmering with a dangerous light.

"Now that you, Friend Daoist, have crushed the corporeal body of our sect's protector, I assume you've vented enough and can release the Primordial Spirit of our protector, right?"

As a peak Daluo Golden Immortal, Vina Night will certainly not be easily obliterated in both body and spirit.

Although Yu Yuan has burst his corporeal body, he couldn't crush his Primordial Spirit, which would require much greater power to completely annihilate.

Vina Night's Primordial Spirit, golden and glistening, has tried more than once to escape from his grasp but has been thwarted each time.

Yu Yuan's palm-world was like a prison, and even someone like him, a Quasi-Saint of might, couldn't break free instantly.

What the Pharmacist wanted now was to rescue Vina Night's Primordial Spirit from Yu Yuan's clutches.

After all, in the Immortal Path's cultivation, the Primordial Spirit is of utmost importance; as long as it remains, a new body can be rebuilt with the consumption of Spiritual Energy.

Naturally, the new body, untempered, wouldn't be as useful as the original.

The nearby Ksitigarbha, Dharma Protector Venerable, and other Western Sect disciples all had unsightly expressions, fiery anger seeming ready to burst from their eyes.

They had already lowered their stance and spoken kindly, but this Jie Sect One Qi Immortal was so ferocious and domineering, disregarding their pleas and going as far as brutally crushing Vina Night Venerable's corporeal body with his bare hands.

This was not as simple as a slap in the face; it was a matter concerning the reputation of the Western Sect!

After all, the Western Sect's Dharma Protector Venerable had been crushed to death, and if the matter couldn't be handled properly, they feared the Western Sect would become a laughingstock.

This was something the Pharmacists and other Western Sect disciples couldn't tolerate!

Even so, the Pharmacist and others still showed no intention of taking action.

It was not because they were shocked by Yu Yuan's displayed strength, but because this affair was provoked by Vina Night Venerable himself!

They were not in the right!

If they were to attack en masse at this moment, it would do no good to the reputation of the Western Sect.

Yu Yuan also understood well that he held the moral high ground.

He looked around, noticing more and more Immortal Gods arriving to watch the excitement, and instead of being hasty to act, he looked at the Pharmacist and others with a smile that was not quite a smile, "Are you few intending to take action against me?"

He was not at all afraid of escalating the situation.

The bigger the commotion, the more reason and excuse he had to act.

Hearing this, the Pharmacist's eye twitched, and while stopping the impulsive Dharma Protector Venerable with a wave of his hand, he shook his head and said, "Friend Daoist, you misunderstand; we have no intention to fight! We only hope you can magnanimously spare his life."

"Tsk, tsk..."

Yu Yuan, seeing that he still chose to endure, clicked his tongue in disappointment, brought his huge palms together, and twisted Vina Night's Primordial Spirit as if it were a hemp rope.

The Primordial Spirit, far more sensitive than the corporeal body, suffers a hundredfold more intense pain than the flesh under such forceful manipulation; despite Vina Night's attempt at stoic endurance, he still couldn't help but cry out in agony.

But even more unbearable for him was the feeling of humiliation.

He was, after all, a half-step Quasi-Saint, a protector of a grand sect of Saints, revered across the Western Bull Hezhou; who would dare disrespect him?

Yet now, not only was his corporeal body crushed, his Primordial Spirit also couldn't escape and was toyed with, completely devoid of dignity.

His face utterly lost, the Pharmacist and other Western Sect disciples' expressions grew increasingly sour.

"Yu Yuan! Don't you go too far!" Dharma Protector Venerable couldn't help but scold angrily: "Even if the Venerable provoked you first, there's a limit to killing. What do you achieve by humiliating and tormenting him like this?"

Yu Yuan glanced at him, "Are you suggesting I give him a swift end?"

Vina Night: "..."

At that moment, he couldn't even speak; otherwise, he'd have had to sincerely "thank" the Dharma Protector Venerable.

The Dharma Protector Venerable was known for his ferocity and strength; were he in this situation, he would rather be obliterated than suffer such indignity, but Vina Night was different.

He still wanted to live.

From the time of his defeat and capture until now, he had countless opportunities to self-destruct his Primordial Spirit, to deliver a "heavy blow" to Yu Yuan, or even to die together with him!

But he didn't do so.

It's only by living that one can seek to achieve Primordial Chaos, it's only by living that one has a chance for revenge!

Even though his life was now in Yu Yuan's hands, he believed that the two Sect Hierarchs would definitely save him.

After all, he was a peak Daluo Golden Immortal.

To cultivate him, the two Sect Hierarchs had invested no small effort, they surely wouldn't abandon him just like that!

Then, an exceptionally beautiful Immortal floated over and landed on Yu Yuan's shoulder.

She was clothed in an embroidered robe with cloud patterns and gold trim, surrounded by an aura of immortality, her movements light, as if dancing like a fairy. Her face was exquisite, her eyes twinkling like stars, and her slender eyebrows looked as if they were drawn on paper. Her black hair, twisted up into a cloud bun, was as soft as clouds, and the swaying of her pale-colored long dress with the wind added to her etherealness.

Yu Yuan glanced at her and found her stunning beauty oddly familiar, like a warm breeze on the face, comforting the heart.

However, what warmed his heart even more was the first sentence the Jie Sect Immortal said upon opening her mouth: "Nephew-disciple, are you alright? Did they do anything to you?"

Hearing this, both the disciples of the Western Sect and the other Immortal Gods observing the fight were left speechless.

Your nephew-disciple just exploded the flesh body of a half-step Quasi-Saint with his bare hands and casually rolled and pinched their Primordial Spirit in his palm. What could possibly happen to him?

Yu Yuan also felt like laughing.

This Yun Xiao aunt was really very dedicated.

Ever since the Golden Spirit Saint Mother entrusted her with Yu Yuan's protection, she treated this task with utmost importance.

Especially after that incident in the gentle hometown, she became even more alert. So, it was perfectly reasonable for her to hurry over upon receiving the news to inquire about his condition.

If it were the Golden Spirit Saint Mother herself here instead of the gentle-natured Yun Xiao, she probably wouldn't have said a second word and would have directly pulled out the Dragon and Tiger Jade Ruyi to knock against those Western Sect disciples one by one.

However, Yun Xiao's words did indeed remind Yu Yuan.

He suddenly coughed twice, spewing out a river of blood that rushed down "whoosh whoosh," flattening mountains in its wake. Simultaneously, his body, as immense as a mountain, shrank dramatically in an instant to a mere hundred zhang tall, and his demeanor appeared somewhat wilted.

"What's this..."

Seeing this scene, all the Immortal Gods present were dumbfounded.

He was just fine moments ago, so how did he suddenly become like this?

Yun Xiao's face changed abruptly, and hurriedly she took out an elixir to put into Yu Yuan's mouth, but he swiftly refused and turned to address the Pharmacist and others: "Cough cough... This is a Dao injury sustained from forcibly operating the Heavenly Earth Transformation Divine Skill, no ordinary elixir can cure this... cough cough... I'm afraid it needs treasures like the Bodhi Seed or Eight Treasures Lotus for healing."

"..."

The Western Sect disciples were speechless.

At this stage, how could they not understand that Yu Yuan wasn't suffering from any Dao injury at all.

He was clearly feigning injury!

The situation infuriated them to the extreme, but just as they were about to speak, they were stopped by the Pharmacist.

"Fellow Daoist Yu Yuan..."

After a momentary contemplation, a flicker of hesitation crossed the Pharmacist's face before he spoke earnestly: "The Bodhi Seed and Eight Treasures Lotus are holy objects of our Western Sect, incomparably precious... However, if it's for the sake of treating a Daoist friend, no matter how precious, we will not be stingy."

"Oh?"

Yu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, finding the Pharmacist unexpectedly generous.

As the Pharmacist said, both the Bodhi Seed and the Eight Treasures Lotus were holy objects of the Western Sect.

Legend has it that the very being of the second sect leader of the Western Sect, Saint Zhunti, is a supreme Innate Spirit Root Bodhi Tree, which is also the most famous tree of enlightenment in Yu Yuan's memory.

Any creature that sits beneath the Bodhi Tree can have their wisdom greatly enhanced, comprehending all the great Dao of the world.

Bodhi Seeds are fruits bound by the Bodhi Tree before its transformation, possessing the same effects as the Bodhi Tree and were extremely rare in quantity.

Unless Saint Zhunti was willing to bloom and bear fruit again, the number of Bodhi Seeds would never increase and each seed was exceedingly precious.

And the Eight Treasures Lotus was no simpler.

This lotus is nurtured by the twelve-grade Merit Golden Lotus sprouted in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool; it absorbs the pool's incense-powered faith, and each Eight Treasures Lotus possesses incredible strength, similar to "Wish Power," that can evolve different abilities based on the user's needs.

When you need a particular kind of strength, you just have to offer it up, and while silently reciting your wish in your heart, it can be realized.

Simply put, the Eight Treasures Lotus is like a one-time-use wishing machine.

Of course, this kind of "Wish Power" is not without its restrictions.

These two treasures were undoubtedly the most precious objects of the Western Sect, and only a few direct disciples like the Pharmacist, Ksitigarbha, and Maitreya had ever been bestowed such treasures.

Yu Yuan mentioned these two treasures as a means to facilitate bargaining.

What he truly wanted was the Bodhi Seed.

After obtaining the Enlightenment Tea Tree, he sent some leaves to his teacher, the Golden Spirit Saint Mother, as soon as possible, but, unfortunately, the effect didn't seem to be significant.

Later, he also inquired with his uncle-master Zhao Gongming who had also received tea leaves and immediately entered seclusion to comprehend them.

Although there were some effects, it seemed to still be lacking something for a breakthrough.

On the contrary, Qiu Shou Immortal, Spiritual Teeth Immortal, and Huo Ling'er and others had significant results after using it; while they had yet to break through their realms, their comprehension of the Dao had significantly improved.

Breaking through their respective shackles and bottlenecks was just a matter of time.

Thus, seizing the opportunity, Yu Yuan thought to try and extort a Bodhi Seed from the Western Sect to see if this legendary object, said to assist in enlightenment, might help the Golden Spirit Saint Mother break through her bottleneck and achieve the Primordial Dao Fruit.

Unexpectedly, the Pharmacist agreed most readily, which gave him the impression that his asking price had been set too low.

Just as he hesitated whether to make further outlandish demands, the Pharmacist communicated with him using the Primordial Spirit Transmission Method: "Additionally, our sect is willing to exchange a secret piece of information for the Dharma Protector's life."

Yu Yuan raised an eyebrow, looking dubiously at him.

The Pharmacist continued: "This message is related to your Honored Teacher."

"What did you say!"
