I'm an Alchemist. Isn't It Reasonable for Me to Carry a Pill Furnace?

"Such arrogance! I, Turtle Lord, have roamed the Profound Heaven Continent for so many years and have witnessed the demeanor of geniuses, Great Sage, and Saint, but I've never seen anyone as boastful as you. I'll give you the chance to make the first move."

Rocket Turtle spoke with disdain, completely disregarding the other party.

"Hiss!!!"

The Scarlet Flame Python within the fiery clouds roared, then spewed out a mouthful of crimson flames.

Rocket Turtle looked at the crimson flames that resembled a fire dragon, and offered no resistance whatsoever, standing still as the flames engulfed it.

Soon, Rocket Turtle disappeared from sight.

A smug glint flashed in the eyes of the Scarlet Flame Python upon seeing this.

Just then, Rocket Turtle's teasing voice rang out again. "Feels good, it's been so long since I've felt this good, keep it up!"

???

The onlookers were filled with questions; they weren't complete Little White in cultivation who knew nothing.

Although that flame is Abnormal Fire, it is not completely immune to fire attacks.

But now the other party hasn't done anything; instead, they seem to be thoroughly enjoying themselves.

The Scarlet Flame Python was also stunned and stopped its attack. The Rocket Turtle reappeared in everyone's sight, not only without any damage, but also giving everyone a feeling of vitality.

Rocket stretched its non-existent neck and laughed, saying, "Bring on whatever other tricks you have. Don't embarrass yourself with such low-level flames."

That's outrageous, absolutely outrageous.

Rocket Turtle's words reminded the group from the Cloud Mist Sect and Dao-Seeking Academy of that man, and they couldn't help but sigh:

As expected of the Abnormal Fire under the Chief Chu's command, its demeanor alone is something that ordinary people cannot imitate.

Provocation, blatant provocation! The Scarlet Flame Python is a demon general of considerable standing in the Rosy Cloud Mountain Range, a being who could one day King Conferment a king.

Even the cultivators of Cloud and Rosy Haze Mountain would give him a wide berth, yet now he was being provoked by a ball of Abnormal Fire.

Normally, he would only see this Abnormal Fire as something for cultivation.

He added another curse to his name regarding this Abnormal Fire, and said sternly, "You forced me to do this. Today, we'll settle both our old and new scores."

hiss...

The Scarlet Flame Python flicked its tongue, and the demonic clouds in the sky dispersed.

A giant python, nearly a hundred feet long and covered in red and black stripes, coiled in the sky, blotting out the sun.

A gigantic snake shadow appeared behind the Scarlet Flame Python; even just the shadow was enough to terrify the surrounding cultivators.

Inside the Cloud Mist Sect, Elder Fang shuddered involuntarily upon seeing the illusory figure, muttering, "This... this is no ordinary Scarlet Flame Python. It possesses extraordinary bloodline. That illusory figure reminds me of a terrifying being."

Upon hearing this, Yun Ye instinctively asked, "Could it be that you're referring to Teng Snake, senior?"

"Indeed, there is a terrifying serpent clan Half-Saint in the Rosy Cloud Mountain Range who is skilled in manipulating flames, and the flames controlled by this Scarlet Flame Python are also at the level of Abnormal Fire. Ordinary Scarlet Flame Python do not possess such strength and talent."

Elder Fang spoke, he couldn't help but feel a little worried for Rocket Turtle.

"Oh, so you're a mutant. Who are you trying to impress with your arrogance? Acting like everyone else is a mutant."

Rocket Turtle, instead of being afraid of the Scarlet Flame Python's transformation, even mocked it.

This was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire; the Scarlet Flame Python's eyes were bloodshot, as if it could breathe fire at any moment.

I'll make sure you die a horrible death!

With a furious roar, the phantom of the Teng Snake behind him descended from the sky, as if to devour the Rocket Turtle.

Teng Snake could even land, the world changed color in an instant.

The clouds were dyed fiery red, the trees spontaneously combusted, and steam rose from the earth.

Even from dozens of miles away, the surrounding cultivators who were just watching were sweating profusely, whether from being frightened by the terrifying power of the Teng Snake or from the heat.

Even inside the volcanic cave, Fang Mu and Princess Qinghe sensed the commotion outside.

The two subconsciously used their divine senses to probe the situation outside.

As they watched the illusory image of the Teng Snake about to land, the two of them couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines.

"Oh no, could Rocket Turtle be in danger?"

Princess Qinghe said with a worried expression.

Fang Mu laughed and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother Rocket Turtle's Abnormal Fire, and it hasn't even revealed its trump card yet."

Before they could finish speaking, the two saw Rocket Turtle open its mouth and shout, "Go!"

All the creatures present saw a divinely radiant alchemy furnace emerge from the mouth of the Rocket Turtle and fly out.

As soon as the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened, the phantom of the Teng Snake crashed straight into it.

Thump!!!

A deafening sound echoed for miles around, raising countless plumes of dust.

The shockwave made many cultivators dizzy and sway. The two people in the volcanic cave subconsciously blocked their senses, but even so, their bodies still swayed involuntarily.

After the sound subsided, only deathly silence followed.

Everyone stared intently at the alchemy furnace in mid-air, their expressions incredibly complex.

There was envy, surprise, but mostly confusion.

"How... how do you have such a magical treasure?"

The Scarlet Flame Python's tone was filled with astonishment.

The other cultivators present also had the same question, and even Princess Qinghe cast a curious glance at Fang Mu.

She was a worldly person, but the sight of a Abnormal Fire holding a pill-refining furnace was too bizarre.

Rocket Turtle said with a smile, "It's perfectly reasonable for an alchemist like me to carry a pill furnace with me, isn't it?"

???

Everyone except Fang Mu wore a bewildered expression. This was the most outrageous thing they had ever heard in their lives; it was utterly absurd, like the mother of all absurdities opening the door to absurdity itself.

Fang Mu looked at the incredulous Princess Qinghe and said with a smile, "Indeed, what Senior Brother said is absolutely right. I even learned alchemy from him."

Princess Qinghe: "..."

She felt that all the outrageous things she had ever encountered in her life combined did not compare to what she had experienced today.

Shock is an understatement to describe her feelings at that moment.

Of course, the one in the worst mood was the Scarlet Flame Python. He couldn't understand why a ball of Abnormal Fire had ruined his plans, and then revealed a Divine Rank alchemy furnace.

Is this something your mere ball of Abnormal Fire could possibly possess?

Just as the Scarlet Flame Python was completely baffled, Rocket Turtle spoke again, "Kid, you've used up all your trump cards, haven't you? Now it's my turn to have some fun."

Upon hearing this, the Scarlet Flame Python instantly came to its senses, but by then it had already lost all desire to fight.

The battle just now revealed all its trump cards, yet it still failed to gain the slightest advantage. Wouldn't continuing the fight be suicidal?

"Fellow Daoist, I spoke a little too loudly just now. I hope you won't mind. I'll leave now."

"Hehe."

Rocket Turtle chuckled, "Trying to show off and run away? There's no such thing as a free lunch. If I don't unleash my power, you'll think I'm made of clay. Become my alchemy material obediently! Get up!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the alchemy furnace opened again, and a burst of divine light emanated from it, flying towards the Scarlet Flame Python.

"No!"

The Scarlet Flame Python's instinctive reaction was to flee, but it was too late. The moment the divine light fell upon it, it felt its body shrink uncontrollably.

Its body, which was originally nearly a hundred feet long, shrank hundreds of times in an instant, turning into a small snake several tens of feet long, and slowly fell from the sky into the alchemy furnace.

The Scarlet Flame Python was naturally unwilling to be refined by this guy, and its body kept twisting, trying to break free from the divine light's restraints.

But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't change the current situation.

Seeing this, Rocket Turtle said with a smile, "Kid, don't waste your energy. This divine furnace is a treasure obtained by my master. Even a divine flower like the Other Shore Flower cannot withstand the divine light of the furnace, let alone a little snake like you."

"No... don't kill me, or my ancestor will never let you get away with it!"

When faced with the threat of death, the only thing the Scarlet Flame Python could do was invoke the power of its ancestor.

Upon hearing this, Rocket Turtle's eyes flashed with even greater disdain. "You're about to die, and you still want to scare me? If you've got the guts, call your ancestor here, or you'll obediently be refined by me."

With that, the divine light completely absorbed the Scarlet Flame Python into the alchemy furnace.

Thump!

The lid of the alchemy furnace was closed.

The Rocket Turtle circled the alchemy furnace a few times with a smile, then spat out a ball of Abnormal Fire. Soon after, a clanging sound came from inside the furnace.

The sound didn't bother Rocket Turtle at all; on the contrary, it made him even more excited.

"Little snake, don't worry, my alchemy skills are far beyond those of ordinary alchemists. I won't let you die so easily. Enjoy yourself."

hiss...

Upon hearing this, the surrounding cultivators instinctively gasped, their gazes towards the Rocket Turtle now filled with even more awe.

Luckily, we were quick-witted and didn't provoke this guy, otherwise we might have been turned into human pills by him...
