"Yes!"
"Yes, we can help."
"Haha, you two are quite good. Follow me!"
Despite Yin Jin being a late-stage Elemental Infant expert and Brahman Sa reaching the Great Perfection of the Elemental Infant stage, they obediently followed Wu Yazhi without any objections.
As soon as Brahman Sa and Yin Jin took to the sky, they saw Wu Yazhi wave his robe sleeve, instantly enveloping them both.
A world within a sleeve!
Both were stunned. This was an immortal's technique. Given that it appeared in this world, it was likely the work of a Loose Immortal. A world within a sleeve was a technique they could also perform.
Brahman Sa looked around, seeing only white mist everywhere. There was no sky above or ground below; they were suspended in mid-air.
Yin Jin asked, "What should we do?"
Brahman Sa raised a finger and gently shook it, signaling Yin Jin to stay silent. She knew that no matter what they said, even if they used sound transmission, they couldn't hide it from the Loose Immortal outside. The only question was whether this person was a first-tribulation Loose Immortal or a second-tribulation one.
The couple had a tacit understanding. Seeing Brahman Sa's gesture, Yin Jin immediately shut his mouth.
"What is that? It looks like a person!"
They flew towards a dark spot in the distance and soon saw a person floating in mid-air.
Ancestor Gu Ban!
Both were terrified. Even Ancestor Gu Ban had been captured and had his cultivation sealed, floating within the sleeve. Their own strength was even less worth mentioning.
At that moment, another person flew over.
Yu Hong!
The three were friends, but upon meeting, none of them showed any happiness. Yu Hong exclaimed, "Why are you... Oh, it's the Ancestor!" Only then did he see Ancestor Gu Ban, and his face turned pale. He realized the power of the person who had captured them was terrifying.
Then another person flew over.
Wan Chun!
A Soul Division stage expert was unconscious, and the four Elemental Infant stage experts looked at each other.
"Alright, little ones, you've all met. Remember, be friendly and don't argue or fight, or you'll die!"
Wu Yazhi deliberately let them meet. If he hadn't, they would never have seen each other.
Yu Hong couldn't help but say, "This is a big problem. What does this senior want us to do?"
Wan Chun, who looked like a middle-aged man with a worried expression, sighed, "I didn't even have time to react before I was brought here."
Yu Hong's face was serious. "What exactly does he want to do?" That was the main issue.
No one knew what Wu Yazhi wanted. They feared most that he would kill them and take their Elemental Infants, a fate worse than death.
Of course, they could choose to self-destruct their Elemental Infants, but that meant complete annihilation. As cultivators with Elemental Infant stage cultivation and long lifespans, no one wanted to choose that path.
As long as it wasn't about killing them for their Elemental Infants, they could endure anything else. Everyone knew this in their hearts.
"Don't worry, I, Wu Yazhi, won't kill you. I just need you little ones to help me. You'll live well, haha!"
Wu Yazhi's voice echoed, leaving everyone speechless but somewhat relieved. Given Wu Yazhi's status as a Loose Immortal, he had no need to lie. Everyone knew he had no reason to deceive them.
With Wu Yazhi's strength, no one could resist. Lying was pointless, just as he didn't need to trick Brahman Sa and Yin Jin into following him. A simple wave of his sleeve had captured them all. Even if someone wanted to resist, they had to consider if they had the means to do so.
About a day later, Wu Yazhi waved his sleeve again, releasing everyone. It was then that Yu Hong and the others noticed two more Elemental Infant stage cultivators they didn't recognize.
Even Ancestor Gu Ban was released, though still unconscious. Upon release, he fell to the ground, creating a human-shaped crater.
However, this didn't affect Ancestor Gu Ban at all. His body was so sturdy that even without any defense, it would be difficult for an early-stage Elemental Infant cultivator to harm him.
Yu Hong guarded Ancestor Gu Ban. To him, even if the sect was gone, he still had to protect his ancestor.
Wu Yazhi, looking calm and collected, glanced at everyone. Just that one look sent chills down their spines. Despite the warm smile on Wu Yazhi's face, the cold ruthlessness in his eyes was palpable.
These people were not low-level cultivators. They all had Elemental Infant stage cultivation or higher. Having lived in this world for a long time, they could recognize such an expression.
"You, carry him! Alright, little ones, follow me."
Zhang Ke was the first to wake up. He immediately smelled a foul odor and saw a layer of hard, gray-brown crust on his arm and face. He rushed out and plunged into the lake.
One by one, others woke up, reacting similarly to Zhang Ke. Without observing anything else, they all ran towards the lake and plunged in, using their true energy to shake off the filth.
Mi Xiaojing woke up before Yong Ji, also reeking. As someone with a bit of a cleanliness obsession, he couldn't stand it and immediately rushed to the lake, seeing several people already in the water.
Yong Ji woke up differently. He sat there, unfazed by the smell. What mattered most to him was his cultivation. Originally at the late-stage of the Golden Elixir, he had silently advanced to the peak of Great Perfection, just one step away from forming his Elemental Infant!
What delighted him most was that his aptitude had improved, something almost impossible. A person's aptitude and potential were nearly set at birth and hard to change. This proved that the Tea of Dao Lord was indeed a heaven-defying treasure, a true heavenly material and Earth Treasure.

He had struck it rich!
Thousand Poisons Qian also opened his eyes, equally shocked. The bottleneck that had been holding him back had broken through. He advanced from mid-stage to late-stage Elemental Infant. Although he had always been strong due to cultivating both cultivation and ascension together, his actual cultivation had lagged. He had hidden this well, making other Elemental Infant stage experts think he was at the Great Perfection stage, but he wasn't.
Thousand Poisons Qian didn't know how to describe his feelings. As Mi Xiaojing's bodyguard, he honestly didn't want the job. His only thought was that if he could get rid of those two experts, he would slap Mi Xiaojing to death and then torture him.
This had always been his thought, but he didn't dare act on it. Just thinking about that woman's needle made Thousand Poisons Qian shiver.
