Gods: Start with Goblins

"Look, Luo Dan is totally unharmed."

A cultivator from a large sect whispered,
"His strength must be unfathomable."

"If you ask me, these people will probably hit a wall when facing Luo Dan."

Another cultivator echoed.

Luo Dan's appearance made the already tense atmosphere even more solemn. He walked up to the man and the dragon, and glanced at them coldly.

"Do you think you can escape punishment by associating with evil cultivators?"

Luo Dan's voice was deep and powerful, as if it could penetrate people's hearts.
"I tell you, no matter where you go, you cannot escape the judgment of justice."

The man and the dragon were startled when they heard this.

They knew that what Luo Dan said was true.

Their only choice now is to plead guilty and accept punishment, otherwise they will only fall into deeper trouble.

However, the man was still unwilling to give in. He stared at Luo Dan with wide eyes, as if he wanted to vent all his anger.

"Luo Dan, don't think you've won." He gritted his teeth and said, "One day, I will let you know how powerful I am."

Luo Dan just laughed coldly when he heard this. He didn't take the man's words to heart, because he knew that someone like the man would never be his opponent.

"Take them away." Luo Dan said to the cultivators from the big sects beside him, "Let them receive the punishment they deserve."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from the major sects immediately stepped forward to subdue the man and the dragon, preparing to take them away. Although the man and the dragon were unwilling, they were powerless to resist and could only passively accept their fate.

Before leaving, the man looked back at Luo Dan, with a complicated look in his eyes. He knew that he had really lost this time, and lost miserably. However, he was not willing to give up. He secretly swore in his heart that he must find an opportunity to take revenge and make Luo Dan pay the price he deserved.

However, he did not know that his fate was in the hands of others. No matter how he struggled, he could not escape the judgment and punishment of justice. Luo Dan continued on his path of cultivation, constantly pursuing a higher realm and stronger strength.

"Tsk, they still think Luo Dan is easy to deal with, how naive." A cultivator in green shook his head, with a bit of disdain in his tone, "If this Luo Dan reaches the god level, I can't imagine what kind of strength he will have."

"That's right. I heard that he is only at the demigod level now, but he is already able to challenge evil cultivators of higher levels. It's incredible." Another cultivator took over, with awe in his eyes.

They chattered and talked a lot, not paying any attention to the man standing not far away. When the man heard their conversation, his heart was in turmoil, as if a huge rock was pressing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

He actually had a way to escape, that is, relying on his profound cultivation to temporarily suppress his strength, and then sneaking away with the help of his soul power. However, he would also be injured, and it would take a long time to recover. More importantly, he was also a strong man who had once stepped into the god level, how could he lose to Luo Dan twice?

He would never admit defeat! Thinking of this, he cheered up and looked firmly in the direction of Luo Dan.

At this time, Luo Dan was standing in front of several sects, his eyes were deep and calm, as if he could see through everything. He was deeply moved, fortunately these sects did help a little and did not cause any trouble. Otherwise, he might have a bigger headache.

"Lord Luodan, we are very grateful for your help this time, otherwise we really don't know what to do." A representative of the sect stepped forward and said respectfully.

Luo Dan smiled slightly and said nothing more. He waved his hand and gave each sect a can of Lingqing Pill. The pill was filled with a strong medicinal fragrance, which made people feel refreshed as soon as they smelled it.

"This is Lingqing Pill, it will help your cultivation." Luo Dan said calmly, "I hope you can make good use of it and don't let me down."

Seeing those Lingqing Pills, the sect representatives widened their eyes and showed surprise on their faces. They knew that Lingqing Pills were rare and extremely helpful in improving their cultivation. Luo Dan actually gave them so generously, which made them feel a little flattered.

"Lord Luodan, you are so generous!" A sect representative said excitedly, "We will definitely cherish these pills!"

Luo Dan nodded and said nothing more. He turned and left, leaving behind a group of excited sect representatives and the stunned man.

The man looked at Luo Dan's departing back, feeling mixed emotions. He knew that he had really lost this time, and lost miserably. However, he was not willing to give up. He secretly swore in his heart that he must find a way to improve his strength and get back at this place one day.

So, he began to practice in seclusion, working hard day and night to improve his skills and soul power. He believed that as long as he worked hard, he would be able to surpass Luo Dan one day and become a truly powerful person.

What about Luo Dan? He did not become complacent because of this victory. On the contrary, he realized more deeply the cruelty and complexity of the cultivation world. He knew that if he wanted to gain a foothold in the cultivation world, he had to constantly improve his strength, otherwise he would be trampled underfoot. So, he also began to practice harder and constantly explore new methods and techniques of practice. He believed that as long as he continued to work hard, he would be able to become a true god-level strongman and stand at the top of the cultivation world.

Time passed quickly, and several years passed in the blink of an eye. Both the man and Luo Dan made great progress during this time. The grudge between them also gradually faded with the passage of time. However, they both knew that the competition between them was not over. They were all silently waiting for the next confrontation, looking forward to proving everything with their own strength.

In the ancient and mysterious Yunyin Mountains, the sun shines through the sparse clouds and falls on the winding mountain road. Luo Dan, the famous master of alchemy, is standing in front of his alchemy furnace surrounded by clouds and mist, holding a jade jar with a warm and lustrous luster in his hand. The jade jar contains the precious elixir that he has spent countless efforts to refine by gathering the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in one furnace - "Yunyin Lingsui Pill".

A group of monks from various sects stood around, their eyes showing both curiosity and expectation. Some of these monks had a history with Luo Dan, some were attracted by his alchemy skills, and some were eager for powerful elixirs. In a crisis not long ago, they all chose to stand on Luo Dan's side and jointly resisted a sudden monster attack.

Luo Dan slowly looked around, a gentle smile on his lips. He gently raised the jade jar in his hand, his voice deep and sincere: "Everyone, I am grateful for your help today. This 'Yunyin Lingsui Pill' is my most proud work recently. It can not only strengthen the body, but also help people break through bottlenecks during cultivation. All friends who help today will receive a jar. I can guarantee the quality of this pill. It is definitely a rare and superior product on the market."

After saying this, Luo Dan bowed deeply to everyone, his gesture not only showed gratitude, but also an indescribable respect. Seeing this, the monks returned the greetings one after another, and the scene became warm and harmonious for a while.

"Master Luo, you are too polite. It is our honor to serve you." A young monk dressed in green and holding a long sword spoke first, his eyes flashing with admiration for Luo Dan.

"Yes, Master Luo not only has superb alchemy skills, but he is also very generous. We admire him!" Another old man in Taoist robes echoed, his face filled with a satisfied smile, and he was obviously looking forward to the elixir that was about to be obtained.

Luo Dan smiled and nodded, his eyes deliberately staying on Elder Tianji. This Elder Tianji was a well-known wise man in the area, but for various reasons, he did not choose to stand on Luo Dan's side before. At this moment, Elder Tianji's expression seemed a little complicated, with both regret and some remorse.

"Elder Tianji, please don't mind it. I didn't take what happened that day to heart. You will also get a share of this elixir today." Luo Dan's words were gentle but firm, as if telling everyone that he, Luo Dan, was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment.

Elder Tianji felt mixed emotions when he heard this. He sighed and said slowly, "Master Luo, your generosity makes me ashamed. If I hadn't hesitated that day, I might have helped you earlier. Now, seeing how generous you are, I regret it even more."

Luo Dan smiled slightly and patted Elder Tianji on the shoulder: "Elder, you are too kind. The world is unpredictable. Who can predict everything? Your coming here today is the greatest support for me. Come, please accept this pill. It is also a small token of my appreciation."

As Luo Dan finished speaking, an exquisite jade jar was gently handed to Elder Tianji. Elder Tianji took it, feeling the coolness coming from the jade jar, and mixed emotions surged in his heart. He knew very well that this was not just a pill, but also a favor, an opportunity to change his fate in the future.

"Master Luo, I, Tianji, will remember your kindness. If there is any need in the future, everyone in Tianji Sect will do our best!" Elder Tianji solemnly promised, with unquestionable determination in his tone.

------

Hearing this, Luo Dan smiled even brighter. He turned to face everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, today we met by chance and have experienced ups and downs together. This friendship will be unforgettable for me. In the future, no matter who encounters difficulties, as long as I, Luo Dan, can help, please feel free to ask. I, Luo Dan, swear here that I will avenge my enemies and repay my kindness, and I will never let down the trust and support of every friend!"

As soon as he finished speaking, thunderous applause and cheers rang out all around. The monks were moved by Luo Dan's ambition and expressed their willingness to fight side by side with Luo Dan and face future challenges together.

At this time, the sun was setting, and the golden afterglow filled the entire valley, stretching everyone's shadows out. In this land shrouded in warm light, the friendship between Luodan and everyone seemed to be condensed by this light, becoming more solid and lasting.

In the following days, Luo Dan not only fulfilled his promise, but also continued to improve in the way of alchemy, helping many cultivators break through the bottleneck of cultivation and achieve a series of legends. Elder Tianji also often brought his disciples to exchange ideas, and the relationship between the two families became increasingly close, becoming a good story in the Yunyin Mountains.

Whenever it was late at night and Luo Dan sat alone beside the alchemy furnace, he would recall the day when everyone united as one to overcome difficulties together, and his heart would be filled with warmth and strength. He knew that it was these precious friendships that allowed him to move forward fearlessly on the road of cultivation, no matter how great the difficulties he encountered.

All of this started with that small "Yunyin Spiritual Essence Pill", which not only connected the emotions between people, but also witnessed the immortal friendship and trust between Luodan and everyone. In the years to come, this friendship will continue to be passed on and become the most beautiful scenery in the Yunyin Mountains.

After solving the pressing crisis, Luo Dan's frown finally relaxed, but with it came a solemnity that could not be ignored. His gaze, like a sharp sword, pierced through the crowd and finally landed steadily on the man. The man, feeling the sudden pressure, trembled involuntarily, as if he was blown by a cold wind. He knew very well that the root of all this was because of his momentary curiosity and impulse, which made the dragon go looking for Qilin, thus accidentally releasing the evil cultivator of the god-level master.

"Alas, how foolish!" Luo Dan sighed inwardly, with a look of reproach and helplessness in his eyes. Qilin, the guy who seemed to be extremely smart but occasionally made some mistakes, actually caused such a big disaster this time. Why did he touch the taboo and release such a powerful person, bringing endless troubles to the entire cultivation world?

"Do you know you are wrong?" Luo Dan's voice was not loud, but it carried an unquestionable majesty as he asked the man directly.

The man lowered his head and answered in a trembling voice: "I... I know I was wrong, Master Luo, I really didn't expect it to be like this..."

"I didn't expect that?" Luo Dan snorted coldly, "On the road of cultivation, one wrong step will lead to more mistakes. Do you know that because of your momentary curiosity, you almost caused the entire Yunyin Mountain Range, and even the entire cultivation world, to fall into an irreparable situation?"

The man's face turned even paler when he heard this, and he clenched his teeth as if trying to suppress the gasp that was about to come out.

At this time, Elder Tianji also slowly stepped forward, his eyes were complicated, with both awe for Luo Dan and disappointment in the man's actions. "Master Luo, this matter was indeed our negligence. But please believe that we have no ill intentions, it's just..." (End of this chapter)
