My Simulated Road to Immortality Chapter 87 – The Insect Sage Refines Demons

Chapter 87: Chapter 84: The Insect Sage Refines Demons

Even in his previous life, the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters Ruins were massive beyond compare. Even after a decade or so of relentless exploration by Misthaven Sea cultivators, the entirety of the ruins remained a mystery.

Not to mention now, the entirety of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was enshrouded in thick mist.

Those cultivators who had awakened at the Statues of Qin Hall quickly divided into several groups.

Some felt that the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was fraught with extreme hazards. To survive the hands of Qin Tang was already tremendously fortunate. To continue the exploration would mean certain death.

Believing that they already had the knowledge of several techniques, they considered that as long as they could return alive this time, it would be a big profit. Therefore, they decisively chose to leave the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters right away.

Most chose to leave. The remaining few believed that merely a stone statue at the entrance of the ruins bestowed such opportunities. How profound nett gains could be found in the Alchemy Room, Dharma Transmission Hall, and Sect Treasure Vault, said to exist in the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters in the ancient myths?

Once greed arises, it rapidly swells in one’s heart, no longer controllable.

As such, these people, one after another, became infatuated and disappeared into the mist.

So, when Li Fan caught up from behind, he found that he had lost the trail of all the cultivators. If it were not for the Formless Killing Machine that had locked onto Sikong Yi and Baili Chen beforehand, he would have lost them

completely.

Yet, curiously, Sikong Yi and Baili Chen seemed to be remarkably familiar with the layout of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

They could always find a passage through the seams of the seemingly blocked mist. They navigated their way around the mist-covered buildings, moving deeper all the time.

Was this how Sikong Yi seized ‘The Cloud and Water Scroll’ in his previous life?

Li Fan was privy to the various secrets of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters due to his experiences from the simulated past life.

But how could Sikong Yi possibly know?

A strong interest arose in Li Fan’s mind.

At the same time, he was growing more cautious. The duo was undeniably harboring no small secrets!

Making his presence more concealed, Li Fan followed closely behind them.

Suddenly, the duo stopped moving.

Pondering for a moment on the spot, Sikong Yi and Baili Chen split, each darting in opposite directions.

“Splitting their forces? Have they found me?” Li Fan squinted his eyes, hesitated for a moment, but decided to chase after the direction Sikong Yi went.

Deep into the mist, they arrived at a building resembling a high tower.

Sikong Yi suddenly stopped at the base of the tower, turned his head in Li Fan’s direction and gave a provocative smile.

Then, he dived into the tower.

“This will be interesting. Is he trying to use the hazardous environment of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters to kill me?” Li Fan, looking at the high tower that was partially visible in the white mist, radiating an eerie aura, was reminded of his past life memories.

The Demonic Refinement Tower, one of the most dangerous parts of the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.

In the first ten years after the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters was opened, no cultivator had ever come out of the Demonic Refinement Tower alive. Therefore, it was considered a forbidden place by Misthaven Sea cultivators, not to be explored under any circumstances.

It wasn’t until 21 years later, when a Grandmaster of Elixir Arts risked his life to enter, that the cryptic rules within were finally unraveled.

“If this is your plan, I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” Li Fan sneered and followed him into the Demonic Refinement Tower.

As soon as he stepped in, he felt cold gusts of wind, revolting smells of decay and stench assaulting his nostrils.

The ground floor of the tower was filled with cells.

However, it seemed that too much time had passed, only a heap of grotesque demon bones remained in the cells.

Li Fan continued upwards, the same case on the second floor.

All the way up to the top of the tower.

From a distance, he heard rambling voices coming over.

“My senior brothers and sisters are all fighting on the frontlines, and there’s not much I can do to help.”

“I must refine more elixirs, so that they can increase their strength as much as possible. ”

“Every additional elixir I successfully refine will increase the chance of survival for my senior brothers.”

“But all the demons in the Demonic Refinement Tower are dead, and there are no alchemy materials left, what should I do…”

A man with disheveled hair, wearing an oversized blue Taoist robe, seemed frustrated and at a loss.

Next to him in mid-air, three figures were bound by invisible ropes.

The other two were also cultivators who had entered the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters together, but it was unclear how they ended up here.

The two men were pale, their lips kept opening and closing as if they were saying something.

Before Li Fan had time to react, he felt his hands and feet seemingly bound by ropes and he couldn’t move.

Immediately, he was pulled into the air and fixed in place, like the other three.

Having anticipated such an occurrence, Li Fan didn’t panic.

Only then did he hear the ramblings of the two men.

“How did it happen? Didn’t I choose to leave this place directly? All of a sudden, my vision blurred and I ended up tied up here…”

“My end is near, my end is near. I’ve clearly left the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters, but I got captured and brought back…”

“Oh, it’s time to refine the elixirs!” Just then, the man in the robe suddenly came to his senses from the ramblings.

“Alchemy, alchemy…” The man reached into his huge Taoist robe, fumbled, and produced two black elixirs.

“The elixirs are perfectly refined, but I don’t know how good the medicinal properties are.” The man scratched his hair, seemingly troubled..
