Pampered By All In Different Planes

This formation should be considered simple, Su Zhiruan saw the spiritual energy circulating at high speed within this small formation, eventually leaving a trace on the table that was neither deep nor shallow.

By the time she looked closely, the formation had already penetrated deep into the wood.

"My Lord, I also want to try," Su Zhiruan could hardly wait, she dipped a bit of wine and then started drawing a formation on the table.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you." Changqi took her hand, gently dipped it in wine, and slowly moved it across the table, drawing the strokes of the formation.

The fragrance of the wine lingered, and the two of them were very close to each other.

Time seemed to have passed without notice…

Only when someone knocked on the door did Su Zhiruan and Changqi stop.

"Dear guests, the Sect Hierarch says that to welcome you, he specially invites you both to attend this elixir gathering," the shopkeeper, who had appeared at their door at some point, was relaying the message.

"Understood," Changqi said as he stood up, pulling away from the closeness with Su Zhiruan.

Su Zhiruan observed that all the wine on the table had been used up, but her heart felt fulfilled.

Formation was a very mysterious and profound study, even the sects in the Human World had not mastered it.

At first, seeing Changqi's actions, Su Zhiruan was still worried he might discover her secret of disguising as a man, but as she delved deeper into learning, she found herself completely mesmerized.

It wasn't until the knock on the door that she was brought back to her senses.

"Let's go, if you like, we can continue learning tomorrow," Changqi said, sniffing the alcohol on his own body, somewhat helplessly.

After Su Zhiruan and the two exited the door, they were led by two maids through a valley.

From Su Zhiruan's perspective, the area was entirely covered with lush forests, with many small animals appearing continuously on either side, much like a scene from a fairy tale.

But when she touched Changqi's hand, the scene before her eyes shifted drastically.

A sky full of the smell of blood, a pervasive red fog billowed above, while the ground below was either flowing with blood or littered with corpses and debris. As for the small animals, there were several giant pythons coiled around the towering trees, slowly watching them and flicking their tongues.

The ground underfoot was either scattered white bones or desert terrain, which was also very easy to sink into, requiring them to be very cautious when returning later that night.

This scene would have terrified anyone of weak psychological makeup.

As they walked further away, they could occasionally see other ordinary people.

But these ordinary people fell into two different types.

One type had eyes filled with fanaticism, while the other was already numbed.

People from two different backgrounds gradually emerged, and the two maids signaled Su Zhiruan and Changqi to head towards the group of fanatical people.

"Dear guests, we maids can only take you this far. From here, please proceed on your own," the beautiful maid in red kneeled and bowed, then left on her own after speaking.

Watching their figures disappearing, Su Zhiruan tugged at Changqi's sleeve, "Shall we follow them?"

"Blend in and see what they are planning to do," Changqi agreed with her.

The two quickly picked one of the lines and walked in. In this group, many had fanatical expressions in their eyes, overflowing with a desire and longing for immortality, which seemed to have become an obsession, making them stubbornly fanatic.

"You! Are you also here for the elixir?!" A young-looking man stood next to Su Zhiruan and asked the two people who had joined midway.

"Yes, we are here for the elixir." Su Zhiruan continued with the large group. Fortunately, although they seemed very fanatic, they exhibited no xenophobic behavior. They glanced at Su Zhiruan and quickly averted their gazes, continuing their fervent circling. Su Zhiruan inquired, "How did you all get in here?!"

"For immortality, of course!" The man sighed, looking at Su Zhiruan as if she were a fool, "Who doesn't want to live forever?! Those who stay and qualify are here for their lives! Life is the most important thing, isn't it? Without life, what is left?! Nothing is left!"

His words were jumbled, and he rambled on and on. Su Zhiruan found herself completely unable to understand and thus gave up on communicating further.

There were many others like him, but most people still hoped they could successfully obtain the elixir of immortality. Hearing Su Zhiruan walking with them, everyone just smiled faintly, unable to utter a sound.

By the time Su Zhiruan and Changqi finally saw their destination, they had already interacted with all the normal people around.

At that moment, in the valley, stood an incredibly large mirror.

The mirror was adorned with extremely intricate and beautiful classical patterns, each floral pattern appearing lifelike.

From the outside, the whole mirror was milky white, looking particularly stunning, but within the mirror was a light blue vortex. Within the vortex, one could faintly make out the Immortal Realm, with its green mountains and clear waters and various exotic flowers thriving inside.

There were a lot of people at the scene! No one knew where all these people came from, but eventually, the entire mountaintop was filled.

"What's the situation now?" Su Zhiruan asked quietly. Her voice was so low the surrounding people couldn't hear her.

"Hold my hand, I'll show you the reality," Changqi said without any further fuss, directly taking Su Zhiruan's hand.

In an instant, she saw everything clearly.

The previously milky white mirror had now turned into a puddle of bloodstains, surrounded by a terrifying mist.

Inside the mirror, there was no so-called Immortal Realm. People were transported into the Purgatory of the Demon World.

They were fed to the beasts below the eighteenth level of Hell, where the sinners resided.

"How cruel..." Su Zhiruan was stunned after witnessing it.

The ordinary people thought they had found the elixir of immortality, but in reality, they had been pushed into Hell, never to return, not even able to defend themselves.

"Wait a bit longer." Changqi remained still, deciding to observe. In this Abandoned City, there were plenty of demons and devils; acting prematurely would likely startle the spirits.

A figure in a white robe from the Demon World approached from afar, standing with his hands behind his back, flying at the highest point before slowly descending.

"Believers! The monthly medicine ceremony officially begins!"

"Greetings to the Sect Hierarch——"

"Greetings to the Sect Hierarch——"

"Greetings to the Sect Hierarch——"

The thunderous sound echoed three times, each louder than the last.

The white-robed Sect Hierarch smiled brightly, "At ease——"

"There are some new faces this time, I hope everyone can get to know each other."

After he finished, he tried to sweep a glance through the crowd but found it too large to see the people he wanted, and finally gave up.
