Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

"It's about running away, not breaking in."

Youhuang immediately stopped and defended himself.

He looked at the other party quietly, not knowing whether he was a powerful man of the time or a god trapped in the formation.

"What are you running away from?"

The old man asked without turning his head, his eyes never leaving the alchemy furnace in front of him.

She must be refining an important elixir. You Huang thought for a moment and said, "The female demon from the demon world wanted to kill me, so I had no choice but to escape here. I will leave after she thinks I am dead, so it won't affect your refining of the elixir."

"The female devil from the demon world..."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "You are not referring to the Saintess of the Shadowless Sect, are you?"

"Oh yes, it's her." You Huang breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it. Fortunately, she was a strong man in the world, otherwise she would soon become a wronged soul in the stone forest.

"Why are you relieved?"

The old man's voice suddenly came, scaring Youhuang.

Unexpectedly, although the other person had his back to her, he was able to capture her little movements and micro-expressions.

You Huang immediately explained, "I suddenly saw you deep in the dangerous place of the Stone Forest. I thought I had encountered another god. When I heard you say the names of the people in the world, I was relieved to confirm that you were not a god. Please forgive me."

"Why, have you encountered a divine being?" The old man's tone did not sound surprised, as if it was a very normal thing.

"I am lucky to have managed to save my life." You Huang was afraid that the old man would ask about what he had gained from meeting the God, so he continued the previous topic: "The female devil, the woman of the holy altar, is not the most powerful person in the demon world in terms of cultivation, but she is the one with the most strategic vision."

"How do you think she has a strategic vision?" the old man asked with interest.

"The Saintess of Zhan Yi believes that every talented disciple in the world of immortal cultivation will become a sharp sword pointing to the demon world in the future, and must be killed before they grow up."

The old man did not reply immediately this time. You Huang thought that he did not believe him, so he chose a place to sit down and said, "If you do not believe me, you can go out and check to find out the truth. I do not know how long she will stay outside before leaving. If I go out too late, I am afraid I will miss the appointment with Taogui."

"You still have an agreement with Taogui!"

The old man turned around in surprise and asked, but soon turned back to stare at the alchemy furnace.

You Huang exclaimed, "Before entering the temple, I promised to stew a magical chicken for him, and let him taste it when leaving the temple. Only then did he open the door of the temple to let everyone in. I don't know how much time is left. If it exceeds the time limit, wouldn't I be breaking my promise?"

"You came in through the portal of the temple. Did you meet anyone?" The old man suddenly changed the subject and said, "He was wearing a mask on his face."

"I have met at least two masked people. I wonder which one you are looking for, senior." Youhuang immediately thought that in addition to Xue Zun, the eldest brother of Xue Xuan Sect was also wearing a mask, so he had to ask for more clues to confirm.

"He is from the Xuexuan Sect, and everyone respectfully calls him Xuezun." The old man probably saw that Youhuang was not wearing the sect uniform and thought she was a descendant of that immortal cultivation family.

"So the person you are looking for is Xue Zun." You Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It was Xue Zun who brought me into the medicine garden. He is also in the medicine garden now. If you want to see him, you can send a message. Maybe he can hear it and take me out of the stone forest."

"You can get out of the stone forest, so why do you have to let him lead you?" the old man asked in confusion.

"The Saintess of Zhanyi is very cunning. She will definitely stay outside until the end of the twelve hours. She will not leave until she is sure that I cannot leave the stone forest."

The old man stared at the alchemy furnace in front of him and sighed, "I am refining a very important elixir. The elixir is almost done, but the furnace is overloaded and has some cracks. I don't know if it can hold up until the elixir is done. If he brings the Taihe Cauldron, it will not be in vain for me to stay here for nearly a hundred years."

When the Taihe Ding was mentioned, Youhuang's heart moved. Could it be that the old man in front of him was the Yao Lao mentioned by Xue Zun?

"May I ask what your name is, Senior? If I can get out alive, I will definitely ask for you."

Youhuang had never met Yao Lao before, so he couldn't rashly let the other party know that the Taihe Ding was in his possession before confirming his identity.

Besides, the pill refining process is so complicated that it took nearly a hundred years to make the pill. No wonder the pill furnace could not bear the weight and cracked. If the furnace exploded at the critical moment, wouldn't a hundred years of hard work be wasted?

The old man said without even turning his head: "I have lived for nearly two thousand years. I have long forgotten my name. People who know me call me Yao Lao. You can call me that, too."

Yao Lao!

The old man actually called himself Yao Lao.

Even though the old man had revealed his identity, Youhuang couldn't rashly take out the Taihe Ding without seeing him in person.

After thinking it over, he said, "How about I go back the same way and send a signal flare at the edge of the stone forest. Maybe Snow Lord will see it and come over. Then I can ask for you."

"Aren't you afraid of the miasma in the stone forest?" The old man was a little surprised and said calmly, "Many people enter the stone forest and cannot leave because they are bewildered by the miasma."

"There's no such thing as miasma. It's just the sound of wind blowing through the cracks in the rocks." You Huang said disapprovingly, "It's the same principle as playing a flute or a xiao. If you know the reason why the sound is formed, you won't find it scary anymore."

"If it wasn't for the miasma, why would everyone who came in be demented and unable to get out of the stone forest?"

The old man seemed to be unable to accept You Huang's explanation, and You Huang also thought to himself: "We must not let anyone know that she can stay sane because she carries the divine artifact Qinshen Bell with her. The sound of the bell can keep her from being affected by the miasma."

"That's all caused by excessive tension." You Huang explained seriously, "People are always afraid of unknown things. The cracks in the stone forest are of different sizes, and the sounds made by the wind are also different. Coupled with the oppressive feeling brought by the cyclone above the head, it is easy for people to make wrong judgments, which makes people seem to be confused."

"You have a point."

The old man thought for a while and gave an answer that Youhuang was not very satisfied with.

What do you mean by not unreasonable? I said it was very reasonable. You Huang was very disdainful in his heart, but he smiled and said: "Junior will try to return the same way now."

"and many more……"

The old man stopped You Huang who was about to leave and said, "Take this token with you. Only when Xue Zun sees it will he come to me immediately.

Youhuang immediately reached out to catch the token that flew out of the barrier. The material was exactly the same as the one Xue Zun had given him before, but this one seemed to have been used for a long time, and the pattern on the token had traces of wear and tear.

After receiving the token, Youhuang hesitated again. What if the other party was really the Medicine Master of Xuexuan Sect? Wouldn't he have wasted his time in vain?

"Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up and take out the Taihe Ding and hand it over to Yao Lao."

While Youhuang was still hesitating, Xue Zun's familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears, and he immediately looked around for Xue Zun.

After searching for a while, he did not see Xue Zun. Knowing that it was a voice transmission, You Huang was a little disappointed and said, "Senior Yao Lao, actually... the Taihe Ding is with me.
