Boom!

It was like a firecracker going off; the sound was terrifyingly loud!

The lid popped open, and then...

Bang bang bang...

The iron basin that was fixed to the wall was blown away. Even though Lin Fan was prepared, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine.

"Holy crap, that's incredible!"

The guy put the Old-fashioned Popcorn Machine that had broken off in his hand aside, ran over, and picked up the metal bowl that had been blown away.

Then...

"What is this thing?!"

Elixir!?

No!

At this moment, there was a pile of 'mud-like' stuff in the basin, sticky and the color of mud, which looked disgusting no matter how you looked at it.

"Where are my Spiritual Energy Pill?"

Lin Fan grinned, but he wasn't particularly surprised. Even if he had never refined pills, he should still have common sense, especially since this guy was a physics student.

It would be strange if the pill could actually be produced by using pressure to 'collapse the spirit medicine'.

He never expected to be able to refine perfectly round pills so easily. Instead, he planned to 'crush the pills into smaller pieces' once the refining process was nearly complete.

The problem is, now it's not about whether it's a pill or not, but whether this thing in front of us is edible.

It looks like a lump of mud...

"Let's roll it out and see."

"No matter what, even though he's a bit ugly, at least I can still sense the fluctuations of spiritual energy, which means there's a possibility of success?"

This fellow took the sticky mud and kneaded it into a ball, just like making glutinous rice balls. He then rolled it into pills the size of longan fruits.

"Isn't it too big?"

Lin Fan pondered, "It shouldn't be. It's very moist right now. If I bake it and dry out some of the moisture, it will shrink, right?"

But the question now is, will it actually work? Should I take one and see?

Afraid?

What's there to be afraid of!

At most, it just looks a bit ugly, but the ingredients are all normal medicinal herbs, including elixirs. And now that it's rolled into a ball, it looks a little more pleasing to the eye.

Besides, even if something really went wrong, surely it wouldn't be enough to poison a ' Foundation Establishment Stage stage cultivator' like myself?

Glug!

This guy tilted his head back, swallowed one, and then...

"Holy crap, it's choking me!"

He cursed at his mother.

It's still too big, at least it's quite big now, and most importantly, it's a bit too moist, considering that some of the herbs are 'fresh' and coated with starch...

So, it's not just stuck in my throat, it's also sticky!

After finally swallowing it, I circulated my internal energy, and the digestion speed increased...

Next, Lin Fan sat cross-legged, circulated the Purple Qi Comes From The East, and carefully sensed it.

Indeed, spiritual energy 'bursts' out of his abdomen. After being absorbed by himself, it returns to his limbs and bones, and is absorbed and refined by himself.

"It's done!"

Lin Fan was somewhat excited.

The Spiritual Energy Pill is complete!

"However, the effect isn't particularly good; one pill is roughly equivalent to one Pseudo Spiritual Stone?"

Which is more cost-effective?

Lin Fan silently did some calculations.

So far, only three medicinal herbs have been used...

This lump of mud was refined and rolled into twelve Spiritual Energy Pill.

With about a hundred Pseudo Spiritual Stone, one can produce about two hundred spirit herbs.

If we don't count long-term training...

"So, it's definitely more cost-effective to refine medicine after all."

"Then, this time when we go there, we'll ask Dan the Fatty for some Pill Recipe for refining Spiritual Energy Pill from pure spiritual herbs. We can think about them carefully!"

"By the way, also get a book on formations for Old Chen to study carefully. This thing is very useful and cannot be ignored."

"Moreover... with these Spiritual Energy Pill, we'll have more confidence here on Earth."

"At least when you're out and about, you don't have to worry about running out of battery."

"But before we get to that, we need to dry these Spiritual Energy Pill first, or they'll get stuck in our throats!"

"Otherwise, what if something really happens and the crisis doesn't kill us, but instead traps us in a dead end? That would be incredibly frustrating."

He muttered to himself for a while, and then began to think of a way to roast the pills.

Roar!!!

The roar was deafening.

Giant Coffin, there were no 'coffin walls' to be seen; what lay before them were rows of palaces, exuding an air of unparalleled peace and tranquility.

However, this was only what was in front of them. In their ears, there were terrifying roars and huge tremors, as if in the distance, there were ferocious Ferocious Beast fighting to the death!

"Oh my god, what happened?!"

More than 100,000 young cultivators were "taken in" by the Boundless Light, along with a large amount of soil, rocks, vegetation, and other materials.

Everything that came into contact with this boundless light was absorbed into it.

Upon arrival, everyone was in high spirits. After landing, they held their weapons, made hand seals, and looked around.

It wasn't that they were cowardly, but rather that the scene was simply too horrifying.

Especially the roar, which seemed to shatter everyone's eardrums.

Fortunately, upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was a distant illusion.

Even so, in a place like this, who would dare to be careless?!

"I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die..."

Fan Jianqiang's face was pale, and he looked quite terrified. He hid at the back of the group, as if he dared not look into the distance.

Seeing this, Lu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Senior brother, you..."

"Sigh, I told you we shouldn't have come! This kind of place is practically a death trap!"

"Look now, we've all been put into coffins. This is some unknown great demon trying to make us die with it!"

Fan Jianqiang muttered to himself, feeling utterly dejected.

When Dan Chengzi and Divine Calculator met, neither of them uttered a word.

Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining, however, no longer had a good impression of him.

"How can you, a man and a cultivator, a disciple of Jiu Wu Shishu, be so afraid of death?"

Chen Cheng couldn't help but speak up.

"Nonsense, how can this be considered cowardly? This is called seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune... Sigh, you wouldn't understand even if I explained."

"What are we going to do?"

Fan Jianqiang didn't argue with Chen Cheng too much. After muttering a few words, he went off to be 'melancholy' on his own.

At this moment, Qi Zixiao also didn't know what to say...

In her opinion, Fan Jianqiang's first impression was that he was a "cyber troll and a professional argumentative athlete." Otherwise, how could he have angered Eastern Wasteland Tian Qi beat someone up on the very first day he got his phone?

But she only realized now that Fan Jianqiang was actually so timid.

"Fine, since you're with me, then follow behind me..."

"We'll wait, let's go!"

Afraid?

Qi Zixiao was not afraid. With the Sky Gazing Mirror in hand, she had a super cheat code. As long as she didn't encounter those shameless old monsters, she wouldn't be in too much danger.

Although this coffin is an extraordinary world unto itself, it is ultimately an unclaimed object. What is buried inside is a corpse. A corpse trying to threaten me, who holds the Sky Gazing Mirror? It's basically impossible!

A living person?

Surely no powerful being would be so idle as to hide in a coffin for countless years?

At least Qi Zixiao had never heard of anyone being so 'scam'.

Therefore, she was fearless!

"Southwest direction."

A Wu sensed everything and quickly gave Qi Zixiao advice. "I feel a familiar sensation over there... and I roughly know what it is. If possible, you must get your hands on this thing; it will be of great use to you!"

Is that so?

"Actually, at this moment, I also feel something in my heart, as if something is attracting me!"

"So you should definitely get your hands on it."

"I will do my best!"

Qi Zixiao's expression remained unchanged, as if nothing had happened, but she led her group through numerous palaces towards the southwest, casually saying, "Follow me!"

"Should we... stop our treasure hunt?"

Lu Ming suddenly said, "There must be many benefits inside these palaces, right?"

Qi Zixiao stopped in her tracks...

Are there any benefits to living in the palace?

Of course there are!

Boom!

The thought had barely formed when a series of explosions came from afar, and several cultivators whom Qi Zixiao did not recognize started fighting.

"Put down the Jade Bottle, and I'll spare your life!"

"Pah! What's unclaimed is mine now that I've got it!"

"In that case, let's have a fight!"

Rumble!

The fight escalated instantly as the two exchanged angry shouts.

"There really is."

Dan Chengzi pondered for a moment, "Your Highness, should we also go into the nearby palaces to search for treasure? We should be able to find quite a lot."

"Treasure hunting? There shouldn't be any particularly important treasures in this outer area for us."

Qi Zixiao sighed softly, "But... my heart is compassionate."

Everyone: "(O_O)???"

Qi Zixiao remained unfazed. "Although ordinary treasures are of little use to us, they are still the Source of Evil. If we are not careful, they can trigger bloody battles, causing many cultivators to be injured or even die."

"This is so tragic, I can't bear to see this kind of bloodshed happen..."

At this moment, Qi Zixiao's face was filled with compassion and empathy.

"Your Highness is merciful..."

Chen Cheng and Zhou Yining both praised it.

Flattery will get you everywhere, and when you're working for someone, you should definitely understand this principle.

However, after they said that, Qi Zixiao felt a little embarrassed...

kindness?

What kind of mercy is that? I was just thinking about the novels I read on Earth, especially those ridiculous protagonists, like Bai Xiaochun and the like...

Therefore, she also wanted to try it out and experience what it felt like to have all the treasures 'inclusive'.

But you can't say it like that; you have to find a reason, right?

"My heart is compassionate" is a very good reason!

Believe it or not?

That's none of our business. Anyway, that's how things are, it's easy to understand, isn't it?

"So Your Highness, we should..."

Who among those present truly understands Qi Zixiao?

At least Dan Chengzi believed himself to be the most knowledgeable!

And what does he love most?

Spirit Stone! Treasures!

What did Qi Zixiao mean by that? His breathing suddenly quickened, and he began to make some guesses.

"I had no intention of competing for the treasure, but it pains me to see so many living cultivators killing each other for it!"

"After much deliberation, there is only one way to resolve their dispute!"

"Your Highness made it clear."

The Divine Calculator now admired Qi Zixiao immensely and declared, "We will certainly follow Your Highness."

"At this juncture, only..."

Qi Zixiao sighed deeply, his compassionate expression deepening. "Only if we control all the treasures can we prevent the many cultivators from starting conflicts again."

Really!

Your Highness's intentions are exactly what I desire!

Upon hearing this, Dan Chengzi's heart nearly jumped out of his chest; he was half excited and half terrified.

Our Saintess is truly very kind and cannot bear to see others injured or killed, so she has no choice but to... cough cough cough.

It's almost the end of the month, please give me some monthly votes, otherwise they'll all go to waste!
