Joint Attack on Purple Sun

Sun Lie looked at Meng Chong and said irritably, "Your grandfather gave the order for me to help you quickly dissipate your cultivation."

"Using my method, you can completely lose your cultivation within one night. What, are you scared?"

Meng Chong immediately raised his eyebrows and puffed out his chest. "What is there to be scared of?!"

Sun Lie laughed heartily. "Good, I didn't misjudge you."

Changing the subject, he continued, "Actually, cultivating with a Pill Furnace has a long history."

"You must have heard of the divine ability Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze."

"To cultivate this divine ability, you must first possess the immortal aptitude of Fiery Eyes or Golden Gaze, and then enter an old Pill Furnace."

"After the furnace is opened, the cultivator must endure intense suffering for forty-nine days, without closing their eyes the entire time, blinking at most. They must fully withstand the smoke and fire, and suppress the pain."

"When you enter the Pill Furnace this time, you need to be mentally prepared."

Meng Chong nodded with a solemn expression.

Sun Lie opened his storage bag and took out a large bowl and a small glass bottle.

The bowl contained a viscous, amber-like substance, orange-yellow and crystal clear. The small bottle contained red and yellow mixed powder granules.

Sun Lie instructed, "Come, take off all your clothes."

"First, apply what's in this bowl, then sprinkle the medicinal powder from the bottle all over your body."

Meng Chong said "Oh," stripped himself bare, and took the large bowl and small bottle.

He first applied the contents of the bowl, then evenly sprinkled the powder from the bottle.

He gradually felt something was off. While sniffing, he said, "Elder Sun, why does it smell like honey and cumin?"

Sun Lie tilted his head, took a large gulp of wine from his gourd, and then laughed. "Haha, you just figured it out? Your grandfather said you were terrible at all the hundred arts of cultivation, and he wasn't wrong!"

Meng Chong's face immediately darkened. "I'm not good at alchemy, but I've eaten plenty. I've eaten even more spiritual food."

Sun Lie nodded. "Since ancient times, food and medicine have been inseparable."

"The best medicinal supplement is dietary supplement."

"What's the difference between so-called spiritual food and spiritual chefs, and spiritual pills and alchemists?"

At this point, he winked at Meng Chong. "You're not worried that I'm going to harm you and want to roast you until you're fragrant and crispy, are you?"

Although he hadn't met Meng Chong many times, he had accurately grasped the latter's personality.

Meng Chong was even younger than Ning Zhuo, only fourteen years old, but he looked about eighteen or nineteen. He had a youthful spirit, was competitive and eager to win, and was proud of his Meng surname and his family.

"Don't underestimate me." Meng Chong glared at Sun Lie and directly entered the Purple Sun Furnace.

Sun Lie let out a burp and followed closely, slamming the Pill Furnace door shut.

The sound of the furnace door closing made Meng Chong's heart skip a beat.

The Pill Furnace was sealed, but there was dim light.

Meng Chong stood in front of the furnace door, scanned his surroundings, and immediately discovered that the bottom of the Pill Furnace was already covered with various medicinal herbs.

Seeing this, Meng Chong's heart settled slightly. This indicated that Sun Lie was well-prepared.

Just looking at the honey and cumin being applied to himself seemed a bit unreliable. But considering Sun Lie's identity as a master alchemist, this arrangement must have a purpose.

Immediately, Meng Chong walked to the center of the Pill Furnace and sat down cross-legged.

Outside the Purple Sun Furnace, Sun Lie tilted his head back, took a big gulp of wine, and then opened his mouth to spit.

Boom.

Wine fire surged out, igniting the Purple Sun Furnace.

Within a few breaths, the air temperature rapidly climbed. The crimson firelight reflected on Sun Lie's face, making it flushed.

"It's coming." Meng Chong's heart stirred, sensing the sharp rise in temperature.

The inside of the Pill Furnace, which had just been dim, instantly brightened, filled with crimson light.

Meng Chong's body temperature quickly rose. The honey on his surface began to melt, the cumin granules released a strong aroma, and at the same time, a large amount of magic power steamed out through his pores like clouds of smoke.

At this moment, outside the Purple Sun Villa, Sun Lingtong's eyes flickered with strange light.

His spiritual pupils saw a blurry scene through multiple walls.

"Very good. Sun Lie is refining pills. This is an excellent opportunity to make a move." His heart leaped with joy.

Once pill refining begins, the alchemist often has to stay put.

This meant that Sun Lie, a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator, was temporarily incapacitated!

"Formation Breaking Talisman, go!"

Sun Lingtong was very decisive and directly unleashed his strongest method.

Sensing the attack, the formation of the Purple Sun Villa activated instantly, forming a hemispherical light shield.

The Formation Breaking Talisman looked small and insignificant, but when it landed on the light shield, it immediately disintegrated, dissolving into tiny specks of light that directly melted away the hemispherical light shield.

The formation of the Purple Sun Villa was disabled!

"Go." Ning Zhuo had been waiting for a long time, and he flicked his cloak.

A large number of Mechanical Thunder Stillness Birds shot out.

They drew streaks of lightning in mid-air, covering the front courtyard.

Clang, clang, clang!

Piercing alarm bells rang out from the Purple Sun Villa.

Ning Zhuo's heart rate quickened slightly. He untied the two storage bags from his waist, directly held them by the bottom, opened the mouths, and shook everything inside out.

One by one, the mechanical creations grew from small to large, restoring their true size when they landed on the ground.

Twenty brass mechanical men and forty red copper mechanical beasts lined up in order and charged towards the Purple Sun Villa.

The Purple Sun Villa was naturally equipped with guards.

Four early Foundation Establishment cultivators and eighteen late Qi Refining cultivators were all alerted.

Foundation Establishment cultivators cast spells, clearing out the Mechanical Thunder Stillness Birds.

The eighteen late-stage Qi Refining cultivators formed a battle formation, unleashing power exceeding that of mid-stage Foundation Establishment, holding their ground.

The mechanical creations crashed over like a tide, while the battle formation was like a reef by the sea, standing firm no matter how the tide impacted and battered it.

"Brother, that Sun Lie is refining pills in the pill refining room!" Sun Lingtong's voice transmitted secretly.

Ning Zhuo's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately dispatched a portion of the mechanical creations, which rushed towards the pill refining room in unison.

Attack where the enemy must defend!

"Damn it!" The four early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators cursed, but did not move.

A mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator suddenly appeared from the shadows, holding a magic mirror, releasing mirror light that enveloped all the rushing mechanical creations.

The mirror flickered again, and the Tassel-Haired Wanderer in the shadows immediately appeared on the mirror surface.

"He's there!" The mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator holding the mirror shouted, pointing out Ning Zhuo's exact location for his companions.

Thus, a figure shot out like lightning.

"Another hidden mid-stage Foundation Establishment!" Ning Zhuo's pupils contracted slightly. The Thunder Stillness Birds circled around him, and the Bangs Hanged Whip rose like a black python, ready for battle.

Soon, the sound of fierce fighting erupted in the dark alley where he was hiding.

"Hmph! I hope this person is a master, just as Sun Lingtong said." After glancing in Ning Zhuo's direction, Han Ming also took action.

Yin Wind swirled around her body, and she moved swiftly and silently, like a ghost shadow.

The ghost shadow flitted about, first rushing towards the pill refining room. Seeing another Foundation Establishment cultivator appear at the door of the pill room, she decisively turned and rushed towards the Medicine Storage Room.

Unexpectedly, midway, sword light flashed, and a flying sword shot out like lightning, blocking the ghost shadow Han Ming.

A peak Foundation Establishment cultivator slowly appeared.

"Tonight I only seek the pills, I do not wish to harm anyone," Han Ming narrowed her eyes and said.

Responding to her was sharp sword light.
