The Fourth Profound Pill, Complete! The Pill Furnace Lid's Wonderful Journey
It's almost midnight.
Although the fragrance of the elixir had not yet wafted out, the entire courtyard was now illuminated by the firelight of the Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace, shining brightly everywhere.
Inside the furnace, the boy was enveloped in flames, with two pills floating in front of him.
One is Senior Brother Xiao Bao, and the other is a nascent Profound Pill that is still growing, with 60% of it already engraved with the veins of the <Eight Treasures Gold-Devouring Art>.
It seems that Senior Brother Xiao Bao can freely manipulate the energy channels of other martial arts?
Li Mo discovered that while he and Tang Xiaobao were circulating their internal energy together, the nascent Eight-Treasure Gold-Devouring Profound Pill was gradually establishing a connection with him.
It's indistinguishable from what I made myself.
"I'm going to raise the temperature."
Elder Xue's voice came from outside.
"Etc."
Li Mo sensed a hint of weariness in his voice, and then a faint glow appeared behind him.
The tranquil and peaceful moonlight illuminated Elder Xue, instantly dispelling his distracting thoughts and calming his emotions.
For a moment, all I felt was peace.
"What Divine Intent is this kid observing?"
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, but his hands continued moving.
A large bucket of Black Baleful Wood Oil was poured in.
The temperature inside the furnace immediately rose rapidly.
"Phew... Senior Brother Xiao Bao, get ready for the final step!"
Li Mo felt a burning sensation from the temperature.
Even the fully-developed Extreme Weapon Slaughter Body was starting to struggle against the temperature of the Pill Furnace.
"Arrive!"
After a slight tremor, Tang Xiaobao began to spin rapidly, almost spinning himself until he was smoking.
Heart-Link Grass, Nine-Leaf Flower, and Blood Yellow Essence aged for thousands of years were thrown in as if they were free, and then quickly transformed into pure primordial energy of heaven and earth.
Fifteen minutes later.
The burning sensation intensified.
And that nascent Profound Pill, as if gilded, shone brightly!
The Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace emitted a muffled thud.
The furnace lid shot out like a cannonball, trailing a long plume of flame as it soared into the sky.
"Xiao Bao?"
Xue Jing, disregarding the lingering warmth, quickly moved closer.
"Master... Master..."
Tang Xiaobao transformed into human form and rolled out, his tongue lolling out, his clear black and white eyes seeming to have turned into vortexes.
Are you alright?
"Eh? Master, you seem to have three heads! Have you mastered the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top technique yet? Hehe..."
Dizzy Tang Xiaobao chuckled foolishly, saying he was seeing double.
Xue Jing: "..."
He slapped her across the face.
Tang Xiaobao's eyes cleared.
"Where's Xiao Mo? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Xue Jing looked into the interior of the Pill Furnace with a mixture of worry and anticipation.
This is the crucial moment to verify his theory. If it fails even at this point, it can only mean that the art of external alchemy is a joke from beginning to end.
Inside the furnace...
Suddenly, two beams of golden light, seemingly tangible, appeared and then vanished in an instant.
"Why..."
Li Mo emerged from the Pill Furnace, sighed, and looked quite dejected.
In the end, all efforts were in vain.
"It failed?"
Xue Jing's excited expression froze, and his eyes gradually dimmed.
Really...
Was external alchemy merely a youthful delusion?
Even if you do everything to the extreme, it will ultimately remain only in the theoretical stage.
"Xiao Mo, don't be too disappointed. External alchemy is inherently contrary to the laws of nature, so failure is normal, even though we wasted a lot of materials..."
The speed at which external alchemy consumes heavenly materials and earthly treasures is simply astonishing.
The single Profound Pill just now was equivalent to one-fiftieth of Li Mo's inventory.
Looking at his dejected master, Tang Xiaobao scratched his head:
"Huh? But I clearly saw Junior Brother Li swallow the Profound Pill!"
Xue Jing's expression froze.
Li Mo shrugged and smiled:
"You believe me just like that? Hehe~"
The moment he finished speaking, Elder Xue's face visibly flushed red.
I'll beat you to death, you bastard!
"Just kidding... Look at you, you're in such a hurry again..."
So, two more figures were seen chasing each other in the courtyard.
Li Mo escaped!
Xue Jing!
Sure enough, after the four Profound Pill Little Li's true essence was inexhaustible, and his agile movements became much faster.
Inner Scene are, after all, Inner Scene.
After the field was released, a phantom image of a Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace pressed down, turning Little Li into a monkey under the Five Finger Mountain.
Li Mo could actually accelerate even further, but that would require spending a lot of money.
That Eight Treasures Gold-Devouring Pill can devour gold and silver energy, unleashing even greater power.
"Why don't you learn something good!"
"Huh? Who did you learn from?"
"Of course, it's your master. Although she spends money extravagantly, likes to fight, and loves to drink, she still has her merits."
"... for example?"
Xue Jing was speechless for a moment.
Tang Xiaobao was dizzy for a while, and just as he regained consciousness, he prepared to clean up the Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace.
He suddenly frowned slightly:
"Master, the lid of the Pill Furnace is missing again!"
Midnight (11 PM - 1 AM)
Fish-Dragon Street fell completely silent; it was pitch black, and there was no one around.
A man who looked like a waiter was walking in the dark on the street. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't even notice that he was there.
"Hmm... no one followed..."
Xu Yi remained vigilant about his surroundings, only breathing a sigh of relief after walking three streets.
"So what if my meridians Dantian are sealed?"
"In the end, I was the one who was more skilled."
Xu Yi had many identities, so he studied a wide variety of things.
Even though he was no different from an ordinary person at this moment, he could still skillfully untie the Tortoiseshell Binding.
Then, using the Divine Intent of observation, he concealed his own form.
Finally, they managed to escape quietly in the middle of the night.
Of course, he wasn't faking it during the day; he genuinely wanted to take Li Mo to the Black Pavilion.
If he didn't report back to Yin Mianmian on time, they would assume he was dead.
What awaits Li Mo then is a tenfold increase in Bounty and even more intense targeting from the Drizzle Pavilion.
Li Mo is in trouble, who can he get money from now?
So he planned to report back first, and then quietly return to the restaurant...
Xu Yi walked across another street, and just as he was about to take out the Swallow Before the Hall and leave a signal there.
Ugh--
What was that sound?
Xu Yi turned around and saw a dark, slick object spinning and flying toward him.
It's getting closer and closer.
What the heck?
Cover?
duang~~
The sound of the head and lid making intimate contact is actually quite pleasant.
After Xu Yi felt a chill run down his spine, his vision went black, and he collapsed stiffly to the side of the road.
Not long after.
A figure with a blindfold over their eyes and carrying a small basket on their back approached.
"Huh?"
"Isn't this... isn't this Xu Xiao'er?"
Jiang Chulong, who was about to pick out his belongings, recognized Xu Yi and tilted her head in confusion.
Why is he here?
Is he... dead?
Jiang Chulong poked Xu Yi's stomach with Peach Wood Branch, and she was somewhat disappointed.
He's still alive.
Then his stuff wouldn't be garbage anymore...
"Was it... was it Big Brother Li who sent him out?"
Jiang Chulong decided to go back and ask again.
So she picked up the lid of the Pill Furnace with one hand, grabbed Xu Yi's foot with her left hand, and dragged him back to the restaurant.
Bang--
A dull thud—the sound of the back of his head making intimate contact with the curb.
