Shi Lang fought the demonic cultivators for a bit and killed a few demonic kings too. The lightning tribtion stopped and the Terran quickly caught a hold of the pills levitating in the void. He also stood on the spot to absorb the gentle trace of lightning energy in the void.


    Allure was watching this scene from the camp edge with Fairy Moon Jade and clicked her tongue with a smile on her face. Moon Jade asked, "Senior is something the matter?"


    Allure looked at her and said, "You said you are his sister, right?"


    Moon Jade nodded and the Legendary Beast said, "This guy is a monster. He just absorbed the lightning energy remnant in his body. It will help him a lot."


    Moon Jade smiled and said, "It will indeed help him, but such things do not happen daily, do they?"


    Allure chuckled and said, "He is a unique alchemist, every pill that he had refined in the past few weeks had triggered a pill tribtion. If you do not believe me ask him for the most basic pills that he have on his person and try to auction them off. You will know the value he holds at the moment."


    Moon Jade was surprised, she said, "I did not expect him to have such high skill in alchemy."


    As they were talking they saw Shi Lang moving back toward them. The demons were scared of him once again. Shi Lang came over and without talking to them he moved to the holding area. When he reached the ce he found that Shi Tao''splexion had turned pale. He noticed two pink lines on her forearm.


    On the ground his blood was turning into a puddle. He observed the seven girls in the center. They had some wounds on their bodies. Shi Lang could tell that these wounds were inflicted by themselves to push out the demonic energy.


    He was calm and said, "You did a good job holding on till now. Your eyes also look clearer. Open your mouths."


    Thedies did as they were told and opened their mouths. Shi Lang flicked his wrist and tossed the seven pills in the mouths of thedies. The red jade like pill melted upon entry and the enzyme flooded the bodies with a strong spiritual energy.


    Shi Lang said, "Hold on, it will not be easy."


    Thedies shivered when the energy from the pills rushed through their bodies. The demonic energy was not so easy to purge. It had the tendency to fight back. It would fight back harder and the damage to the body will increase. Shi Lang watched thedies struggle and said, "Use your spiritual energy to cover your meridians. Do not worry, everyone is here with you."


    They did as they were told and soon found the pain to ease a little. Shi Lang smiled and looked at his daughter. He frowned and asked in a low voice, "Why did you cut it so deep?"


    Shi Tao revealed a sheepish expression and Shi Lang moved closer to her. He ced his hand on the pink scars, then he took out a pill from one of the bottles and gave it to her as he said, "Eat this, it will replenish your blood."


    Shi Tao consumed the spirit pill and the effect was instant. She remarked, "I did not expect you to be such a skilled alchemist."


    Shi Lang replied, "It is thanks to my special ability."


    Shi Tao understood and nodded. She looked at the sevendies. They had all calmed down after the initial struggle. The demonic energy was being purged from their bodies slowly. Shi Lang took a deep breath and said, "I have to leave."


    Shi Tao asked, "Where are you going this time?"


    The Terran replied, "To the north, there is a secret realm that is open all the time. However, it is hard to locate as the entrance keeps flickering every week."


    Shi Tao asked, "How do you intend to find it?"


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "Thank to you it won''t be difficult."


    Shi Tao was confused when the man said, "I am going to use some topographical probes."


    Thedy understood what he meant when he thanked her. She was the one who bought over the technological devices. She said, "Baba, you do not have to thank me for any of it. I have given the manufacturing studio to mom, you can get as many probes as you want from her."


    Shi Lang raised his brow and then said, "Fine, I will go visit her, though I do not know if her sect will allow me inside."


    Shi Tao smiled and replied, "They will allow you inside because she has made her stand clear. War Maiden sect does not stop the disciples from having a family. However, they do not tolerate any cking behavior either."


    The Terran nodded and said, "That is the right attitude, when the disciples wish to protect the ones they love, they work harder too."


    Shi Tao stood beside him for a bit and the two talked. Unknowingly, the conversation diverted to the status of things in the federation and Shi Lang asked her about the well being of his friends and family. Shi Tao leaned against his shoulder as she said, "I miss her."


    Shi Lang smiled and said, "How old was she when you came here?"


    Shi Tao replied, "Thirty, however, baba, it is her realm that is too shallow. I am afraid if she would evere here."


    She was talking about her daughter and Shi Lang said, "Let us leave it to the fate. If we are strong enough to go back, then we will go back. However, we should not worry too much about the things that are not under our control."


    Shi Tao nodded and said, "When will you leave to meet mom?"


    "Tomorrow, I wish to spend the night cultivating. My realm is not yet firm."


    He has ascended to the Immortal Emperor realm but the things that happenedter were a bit too quick for him to have any time to stabilize his realm. Shi Tao said, "You can stay in Mom''s sect. There you can consolidate your foundation and monitor the result from the probes."


    Shi Lang nodded and said, "You have grown up so much."


    He raised his hand and patted Shi Tao on her head. Then after another round of small talk, he retired to his quarters. He took a simple tent and sat down in meditation. At this time, Allure walked inside the tent and asked, "I heard you are leaving in the morning."


    Shi Lang opened his eyes and nodded, "Yes, Senior. I am leaving in the morning."


    Thedy asked, "Then what about me? Where will I go?"


    Shi Lang said, "Senior, you can stay here and fight the people as you want. This ce will give you all the action that you desire."


    Allure sighed and said, "Fine, I will stay here and train these kids."


    Shi Lang raised his brows and prayed for the people here. He took a deep breath and said, "Very well, do as you see fit."


    Allure nodded and then she left the tent. Shi Lang raised his wrist and left a message to Moon Jade that the soldiers would soon be in trouble. She did not understand much, but when asked, Shi Lang told her to deal with it herself. He had more than enough of Allure these past few days.


    ...


    He spent the night consolidating his foundation and simplifying the information about alchemy. If someone asked him what was going on inside his head, then it would be a lie to say that his thoughts were sorted. In the past few years, he has been on the roll constantly. This process muddled his thoughts, Shi Lang seemed to have lost the rity he had for his future.


    Now, with his peopleing over, he needed to make preparation. He was not happy with how things worked in the Immortal world. He did not wish for the liberal minded people of the Federation to entangle with the twisted notions of this ce. For that he needed to expand his forces. Asura Hall did not receive any challenge, but they were still forced to work in the shadows.


    Shi Lang did not have any intention of making the Asura Hall move in the light but he still wanted for them to have more presence in the society. Asura Hall was not a ughter house that should be named only when someone was killed.


    As he sorted his thoughts, the sun came in the sky. Shi Lang opened his eyes wide and stood up. He left the tent and greeted Fairy Moon Jade and Shi Tao before a brief meeting with the generals.


    He told them that the first part of reviving Tian Long has beenpleted, and that now he needed to seek the materials for the special pill. However, since no one knew what those ingredients were, the secret was safe. Shi Lang did not even tell Healing Hands.


    After everything was finished, they wished him all the best and assured him that they will look after Shi Tao. After all, despite the talent, the girl was still an Immortal King. They were her seniors so it was their responsibility to look after her.
