Xu Changfeng woke up early, while Wang Yuyan, who had been tossing and turning all night, was still asleep. Xu did not wake her up and simply left the room. Night Old Man slowly materialized beside Xu and informed him of what had happened in the prison. Xu had a rough understanding of the situation - the protagonist had a ring with an old man inside, and he had been lucky enough to become the protagonist's stepping stone.
"Very well, Night Old Man, come with me to see my little sprout," Xu said as he flew directly towards the prison, with Night Old Man disappearing by his side.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian had not slept all night and was thinking of ways to escape. She was also daydreaming about the Saintess coming to visit her, unaware that the Saintess had become Xu Changfeng's servant. As Ye Tian continued to ponder, someone walked in - it was Xu Changfeng. Ye Tian was instantly furious upon seeing him.
"Xu Changfeng, you took my woman and humiliated me like this. If I have the chance to escape today, I will definitely tear you to pieces!" Ye Tian yelled.
"Haha, Ye Tian, how was your night here? The Saintess performed very well yesterday and was very moist!" Xu Changfeng smirked as he looked at Ye Tian. Ye Tian's face turned dark upon hearing this - the Saintess she had longed for had been taken away by this despicable man.
"Hmph, you must have forced Yuyan. If you're only here to humiliate me, congratulations, you've succeeded. If you want to kill me, go ahead. I'm not just Ye Tian," Ye Tian said, having come to terms with the fact that the Saintess was now under Xu's control.
"Oh, kill you? I've already promised Yuyan to let you go. You're not a threat to me, but speaking of which, old man in the ring, when are you going to come out?" Xu Changfeng looked at the ring.
The figure inside the ring soon appeared.
"Ah, it seems that the young master has noticed me. Young master must be from the Upper Realm. I don't know young master's identity," the white-bearded old man lowered his status, afraid that the young master would call upon the Dao protectors.
"Old man, have you ever heard of the immortal Xu family of the Upper Realm? I am the Xu family's young master. How should I address you, old man?" Xu asked.
Ye Tian's mentor was instantly unsettled upon hearing the immortal Xu family's name. After all, the Xu family was one of the top three major families in the Upper Realm, while he was just a guest elder of a small sect.
"Cough cough, I dare not accept such an honor. I am Yang Liulin, a guest elder of the Lieyang Sect. You can call me Elder Yang," the white-bearded old man replied.
"Hahaha! I won't be polite, Yang Lao. I don't understand why you're nurturing this useless disciple. If you join me, not only can I help you recover your physical body, I can also help you seek revenge!"
Ye Tian couldn't remain calm after hearing this. Xu Changfeng was trying to undermine him, and that wouldn't do. He immediately said, "Xu Changfeng, forget it. Our master will never side with you. We have an irreconcilable enmity. It's either you or me."
"Hey, that's not right. I didn't kill your parents. Why do we have an irreconcilable enmity? If Yang Lao agrees to join me, I'll let Ye Tian go."
Yang Lao was also thinking. Xu Changfeng had become Ye Tian's demon. If he wasn't eliminated, Ye Tian wouldn't achieve much in the future. Yang Lao looked at Ye Tian, and Ye Tian looked back at his master. Yang Lao said, "Ye Xiaozhi has helped me before. If not for his cultivation at that time, I might have died. So I won't leave him." Ye Tian was moved to hear this. His master didn't abandon him even in the face of great temptation. He felt that he needed to help his master recover his physical body as soon as possible.
"Since you say so, I have nothing else to say." Xu Changfeng took out a pill from his sleeve. "This is a fifth-grade nurturing pill. Please accept it."
In the mortal realm, fifth-grade pills were hard to come by. Even if an alchemist was talented, they could only refine fourth-grade pills. Although Yang Lao was tempted to take it, he shook his head when he looked at Ye Tian. Ye Tian knew the value of the pill and took it. "Since you want to give my master a pill, I'll accept it. It's not a loss for me anyway." Little did he know, Xu Changfeng had already added a bit of demonic energy into the pill. As long as the pill was always by Ye Tian's side, Xu Changfeng could track him down.
"Since the pill has been accepted, I'll take my leave." Xu Changfeng smiled and left.
Afterwards, Ye Tian said to Yang Lao, "Master, with this fifth-grade pill, you'll be able to recover your cultivation soon. Haha, I don't know what Xu Changfeng was thinking, giving away a fifth-grade pill for free. I'm truly blessed by heaven, don't you think so, Master?"
"Ah, listen to me, disciple. Xu Changfeng's clan is very powerful in the immortal realm. You shouldn't provoke him, or else..." Yang Lao was interrupted by Ye Tian. "Master, don't say anymore. I'll kill Xu Changfeng. He took my woman and humiliated me. This grudge must be settled, and I'll avenge you when I ascend to the immortal realm." Yang Lao looked at his disciple, who seemed to be possessed, and didn't say anything more. He began to refine the fifth-grade pill.
