According to Li Shaojun's definition, if a living being has no body, it can be classified as a yin being; otherwise, it is a yang being.

For example, Ren Yisheng once worked as a spirit medium for a period of time, and 'Huang' falls under the category of spirit mediums.

Without a physical body to shield them, these beings would be harmed by his Soul-Stealing Powder, and might even have their souls scattered.

Zhang Xuezhou previously believed that the Soul-Snatching Powder was an external alchemical product created by Li Shaojun to manipulate ordinary people, never imagining that it could target an existence like 'Bai'.

If it can target 'white', then this external elixir must also be able to target beings of the same level as 'white'.

"Come on, come on, hurry up!"

Zhang Xuezhou pointed at Gongsun Hong, and his body also moved slightly closer to Gongsun Hong.

If it really works, Zhang Xuezhou obviously hopes that Li Shaojun's Soul-Stealing Powder can target the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon he hides in his Heaven and Earth Bridges.

"Move away from me, this stuff smells awful!"

"Come on, I need to get closer to Mr. Gongsun to see if your application of the medicine will be of any help!"

Li Shaojun kindly reminded him, but Zhang Xuezhou didn't mind.

When Li Shaojun threw out a handful of black powder, filling his nostrils with a foul stench, Zhang Xuezhou felt utterly disgusted.

"If you're going to kill a spirit, just kill a spirit. Why make it stink up to normal people?" Zhang Xuezhou complained.

"It's not that I wanted it to smell bad," Li Shaojun said. "This kind of external elixir is mixed with black dog blood and women's menstrual blood, so it's impossible for it to smell normal. If I weren't forced by life, I wouldn't be willing to refine this stuff!"

"This is terrible!"

I told you to move away a bit!

Li Shaojun, carrying a large earthenware jar, quickly scattered four handfuls of Soul-Snatching Powder around Gongsun Hong in a 360-degree circle, then looked at Zhang Xuezhou who was standing nearby.

"Is the yin entity inside him dead?"

"Don't worry!"

While Li Shaojun was asking questions, Zhang Xuezhou was also quietly sensing.

He himself showed no reaction, which might be related to the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon being too well hidden, or perhaps the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon was currently using his body as well.

But for Gongsun Hong, this seemed like a timely rain.

As Zhang Xuezhou listened attentively, he could sense that the two, who had previously been at odds, were now in pain.

These two had previously ignored Gongsun Hong, but now they roared and charged at him, attempting to take control of his body as quickly as possible, regardless of the cost.

The red glow and black light on Gongsun Hong's body intensified, and his Law Power surged violently over his entire body.

"I remember you also have some kind of powder that you use in combination with other ingredients?" Zhang Xuezhou asked after gaining a clearer understanding of the situation.

"Soul-Guiding Powder!"

"Use them quickly, they're about to burrow into Mr. Gongsun Hong's body!"

"Is this really that absurd? He doesn't seem like what you described. Don't let Gongsun Hong curse us after he wakes up. If we interrupt his fortuitous opportunity to enter the Sole Self Realm, that would be an irreconcilable feud!"

"Leave it to me!"

Zhang Xuezhou was knowledgeable and experienced, while Li Shaojun was resourceful and skillful.

It must be said that Gongsun Hong was quite lucky. If it were any of the other two people, they would have just watched him die, or even if one of them were by his side, they would have been unable to do anything.

Zhang Xuezhou could see the problem but lacked the ability to solve it, while Li Shaojun had the potential to solve it but couldn't quite grasp it.

Only after Zhang Xuezhou repeatedly assured him did Li Shaojun take out another earthenware jar and scatter a pile of white powder inside.

"This smells like a corpse?"

"This is a secret recipe made from at least a hundred-year-old zombie bone!"

Li Shaojun once said that his refining costs were low, but Zhang Xuezhou never expected that the materials were so cheap.

It would be difficult for a living person to bear, but for the intruders, the pain was even more unbearable.

Beneath Gongsun Hong's body, a dark bluish-black face contorted in pain, bearing a three-pronged mustache, was revealed.

"Your assistance in helping this alien creature seize a physical body will bring utter calamity upon our human race!"

His mouth opened and closed, making a sound like the buzzing of a mosquito in Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun's ears.

"I'm stopping them, you guys... ah, stop!"

Li Shaojun's Soul-Stealing Powder is lethal to yin entities, while the Soul-Guiding Powder can attract yin entities to gather together.

Even though the dark blue face tried to stay inside Gongsun Hong's body, it was forcibly pulled out.

However, the information provided by the other party made Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun's expressions slightly unpleasant.

The two were already mentally prepared, but the confirmation was clearly not a good thing.

Do you have any methods to stop this behavior?

The dark blue ghost face was pulled out by them using the Soul-Guiding Powder, and the balance in Gongsun Hong's body was broken again. His face turned red in an instant, and he also showed signs of pain and struggle.

Zhang Xuezhou didn't inquire about the origin of the dark blue face, but quickly asked for a solution.

"If any of you can retrieve my ashes from the North Sea Eye and consume them, I can temporarily borrow your bodies to subdue him," said the dark blue-faced ghost.

"We're trapped in the main hall of Zixiao Palace and can't get out. How can we have time to go to the North Sea Eye?" Zhang Xuezhou said. "Besides, Yuanshi Tianzun is standing outside. Once he quells the explosion at the Mohists's mechanical city, the formation in the main hall will inevitably reactivate, causing each of us to fall into an illusion from which we can't escape. Everyone will die!"

"What?"

The bluish-black ghost face was even darker.

Clearly, this news from Zhang Xuezhou was extremely unfriendly to him.

"Only if our companion reaches the Sole Self Realm can we use this treasure to escape this place. If he fails, it's a dead end," Li Shaojun said. "If you have any other methods, retrieve them quickly. If you need a human body later, we'll find you one. It's not that difficult!"

"Then I'll trust you this once!"

The dark-faced man agreed, then pointed to the earthenware pot in Li Shaojun's hand, indicating that Li Shaojun should feed it directly to Gongsun Hong.

"Feed him as much as you want, I don't believe he can handle it," said the dark-faced ghost.

"It won't kill anyone, will it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked hesitantly.

"Eating too much of anything can kill you!"

Li Shaojun hesitated for a moment, but he was quick and shoved the earthenware pot into Gongsun Hong's mouth in just a second or two.

"Stuff them with some Soul-Guiding Powder and Soul-Stealing Powder," Zhang Xuezhou urged.

"Pour water into his mouth with a gourd and help him calm down!"

Li Shaojun had previously felt that hindering Gongsun Hong from entering the Sole Self Realm was an irreconcilable feud, but his current actions made no difference to him.

He didn't want to take the blame alone, so he poured these external elixirs into Gongsun Hong's mouth, which obviously also drew Zhang Xuezhou into the hatred.

"Heavenly Demon, go to hell!"

External alchemy is never meant for internal use; Zhang Xuezhou couldn't stand the smell of it, let alone take it.

But Gongsun Hong had no other choice given his current situation.

He had no choice but to shout and stuff the gourd in as well.
