ed a man with a gold chain 1 million yuan and had brought me there to use me as collateral.I couldn't stand being humiliated, so I took a chance and climbed onto the windowsill to scare them."That man...When Ye Bufan opened his eyes again, he was in an empty room.

The room was just huge, hundreds of square meters it seemed, but completely empty.

That strange power was still suppressing his cultivation and mental energy within him, but even so, he could feel a strong fluctuation of the formation within the room.

It's clear that this place is extremely secretive, isolated from the outside world by a powerful array.

His gaze finally settled on the man in black across from him. "Are you Madame Fang Hua"

The man in black glanced at him. “How are you so sure”

"That's not hard to guess."

Ye Bufan said, “This is the Miaomiao Immortal Palace. The only one who can cultivate to a level where they disregard the tribulation peak is Madam Fang Hua.”

"Indeed, a clever young man. No wonder the Three Great Sects value you so highly, even Feng Zhiwu finds herself impressed."

The man in black spoke, reaching up to remove the mask from his face. He even took off the black robe he was wearing, revealing a fine suit of clothes and a head full of white hair. It was none other than Madam Fang Hua.

"I have met you, madam."

Although Ye Bufan couldn't move, he was still very courteous.

"May I ask what commands you have for me, madam"

His speech faltered as his mind raced, desperately trying to find a way out. But ultimately, he was left with crushing despair, realizing he was utterly powerless.

This woman is too powerful, the most fatal thing is the strange power in her body, which completely sealed her cultivation and mental energy.

Now that all the cards are off the table, I'm not even human anymore. How could I possibly escape

Mrs. Fang Hua raised her hand, and a huge red cauldron appeared before her. Then she took out one kind of medicinal herb after another. Ye Bufan secretly gasped in admiration.

These herbs, even just a single plant, would be priceless. The lowest grade is seven or eight-order spirit grass, and nine-order ones are common sight. Now, they're piled up on the ground like cabbages.

Mrs. Fang Hua's movements were extremely proficient, it could be seen that she was also an alchemist, and a very accomplished one at that.

She tossed each herb into the cauldron before her one by one, saying as she did so, “It’ll take some time to refine these herbs. Well then, let me make sure you understand.”

Ye Bufan's heart sank suddenly. This woman had indeed developed murderous intentions towards him.

When Madame Fang hid her identity and had herself taken here, he had this suspicion. Now it seems everything is true.

"Madam, as I come to the ethereal Fairy Palace for the first time and have never offended you before, I wonder why you wish to kill me"

“I told you to be a good listener and follow instructions.”

"A thousand years ago, I had a daughter named Linglong. Everyone called her the Fairy Linglong."

My daughter is not only beautiful but also intelligent and quick-witted. She is a cultivation prodigy, reaching the peak of tribulation in just a few hundred years.

At this point, a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and a hideous expression appeared on her pale face.

It's a pity that heaven is blind, allowing my daughter to perish in the heavenly tribulation.

Fortunately, I was prepared in advance and managed to preserve a sliver of my daughter's soul. However, this wisp of spirit is too weak to even take on a physical form for reincarnation.

Ye Bufan's brain whirred, his mind racing.

According to Madam Fang Hua, the reason for her being targeted should be related to her daughter, but she couldn't figure out the connection.

If one wants to be reborn with their own physical body, it's not very likely. You can't turn a daughter into a son, after all.

Besides, as I just said, that wisp of soul was too weak to be reborn, let alone possess a body.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't figure out what was going on. I could only continue to listen.

"The reason I left the Jianghu a thousand years ago was to allow my daughter to be reborn," said Madam Fang Hua.

As long as Linglong can be resurrected, I am willing to give up everything, even my life.

For a thousand years, I have been nurturing my daughter's soul, searching for a way to resurrect her.

Ye Bufan couldn't help but say: "If the soul is too broken, it will probably be impossible to be reborn."

"You are wrong, as long as you work hard, there is nothing that cannot be accomplished."

"A crazed expression spread across Mrs. Fang's face, "I have spent so many years striving, visiting renowned physicians, poring over ancient texts, traversing mountains and rivers, even exploring over a hundred ancient sites."

Heaven rewards the diligent. I finally see a glimmer of hope.

Ye Bufan frowned slightly, could there really be such a method in this world

Lady Fanghua said: "It is difficult for my daughter to be reborn, but it can be done if three conditions are met."

Firstly, the reborn body must be extremely compatible with her soul, with no obstruction whatsoever.

Moreover, one's physical cultivation must be sufficiently powerful, at least reaching the late stage of crossing the tribulation.

meeting the first two conditions, there was only one kind of pill left, called the Heaven-Defying Demise Pill.

This kind of pill's effect is to completely suppress the soul of a reborn physical body, allowing my daughter to take possession of it without any hindrance.

Ye Bufan said, "Such harsh conditions are almost impossible to fulfill."

"You're right, I've been searching for a thousand years and still haven't found the right vessel."

At this point, Mrs. Fang Hua's expression changed, her excitement tinged with a hint of hysteria.

But heaven finally opened its eyes, over a year ago it let me meet a suitable body.

Her physique is identical to Linglong's before, completely fulfilling the first condition and sufficiently compatible with my daughter's soul.

She was perfect as a furnace, but her origins were from a low-level plane, and her cultivation level was far too low.

But that's okay, I can cultivate her and help her improve her cultivation.

More than a year's time was spent with countless genius treasures, and the effect was very significant. Her cultivation soared straight up and finally reached the late stage of crossing tribulation a few days ago.

By this point, Ye Bufan's heart had sunk to the bottom of the valley.

Now he could not possibly be more clear, that cauldron was Gu Qingcheng, which is to say this so-called傾城仙子.

Lady Hua merely took her in as a goddaughter as a formality. Her true purpose was to cultivate her into an outstanding furnace cauldron, preparing her for the resurrection of her biological daughter.

This made him both anxious and angry, wishing he could immediately rescue Gu Qingcheng. Unfortunately, he was currently unable to do anything as he was in danger himself.

Ye Bufan angrily said: "No matter what, you are a senior expert, and you can't disregard the lives of others just for your own daughter."

"Haha..."

"You don't understand," Madam Fanghua sneered, "As a mother, I would give everything and sacrifice everything for my daughter."

...including my own life, let alone others'.

And I don't owe her anything. If I hadn't met her halfway, she would have already been absorbed and refined as a furnace tripod by a sinister cultivator.

In this case, it's already very fortunate that she lived more than a year longer because of me. There's nothing to complain about.

Ye Bufan knew that as a weakling, he had no right to reason with others. Now that things had come to this, all he could do was find a way to escape as quickly as possible and rescue Gu Qingcheng.

He suppressed the anger in his heart and said, "Since you are prepared to make someone a furnace tripod, why hold this kinship ceremony Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world"back, I saw Zhong Guoqiang hanging high above.Then he saw Ma Cheng and hundreds of servants, each armed with weapons, surrounding a woman.It looks very imposing, but one by one they are silent as if s...
