Free Web NovelIt was almost midnight.
Although the Pill fragrance had not yet overflowed, the entire small courtyard was now illuminated by the firelight of the dragon-tiger pill furnace, casting a brilliant glow everywhere.
Inside the furnace, the young man was enveloped in fiery colors, with two Pills suspended in front of him.
One was Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao, and the other was the nascent Mystic Core, which was still growing. Six tenths of its Meridians had already been inscribed with the Eight Treasures Gold Devouring Skill.
Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao seemed to be able to freely operate the cultivation routes of other martial arts?
Li Mo discovered that while cultivating alongside Tang Xiaobao, the nascent Eight Treasures Gold Devouring Mystic Core was gradually establishing a connection with him.
There was no discernible difference from what he had refined himself.
"I'm going /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ to raise the temperature."
Elder Xue's voice came from outside.
"Wait."
Li Mo detected a hint of fatigue in his voice, so a faint clear glow vaguely appeared behind him.
The serene moonlight illuminated Elder Xue, instantly dispelling his distracting thoughts and calming his emotions.
For a moment, only tranquility remained in his heart.
"What Divine Intention is this kid observing?"
Xue Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, but his hands did not stop.
A large barrel of Black Fiend Wood Oil was poured in.
Immediately, the temperature inside the furnace rapidly increased.
"Phew... Senior Brother Tang Xiaobao, prepare for the final step!" frёewebηovel.cѳm
Li Mo even felt a burning sensation from this temperature.
Even the Major Achievement Extreme Soldier Slaughtering Body was slightly unable to withstand the current temperature of the Pill Furnace.
"Here!"
After a slight tremor, Tang Xiaobao spun rapidly, almost smoking himself out.
Connecting Grass, Nine-Leaf Flower, and several millennia-old Blood Yellow Essence were thrown in as if they were worthless, and then quickly transformed into pure Heaven And Earth Treasure.
A quarter of an hour later.
The burning sensation grew even stronger.
And that nascent Mystic Core, as if gilded, shone brightly!
Bang!
The dragon-tiger pill furnace let out a muffled thud.
The furnace lid shot out like a cannonball, trailing a long plume of fire as it flew high into the sky.
"Tang Xiaobao?"
Xue Jing, disregarding the lingering heat, quickly leaned forward.
"Ma... Master..."
Tang Xiaobao transformed into human form and rolled out. His tongue was hanging out, and his distinct black and white eyes seemed to have turned into whirlpools.
"Are you alright?"
"Eh? Master, you seem to have three heads! Did you achieve Three Flowers Converging on the Peak? Hehe..." freēwēbηovel.c૦m
Dizzy Tang Xiaobao chuckled foolishly, seeing double.
Xue Jing: "..."
He slapped him.
Tang Xiaobao's eyes cleared.
"Where's Xiao Mo? Why hasn't he come out yet?"
Xue Jing looked into the Pill Furnace with both worry and expectation.
This was a crucial moment to verify his theory. If it still didn't succeed, it would only mean that the Outer Pill Dao was a joke from beginning to end.
Inside the furnace.
Suddenly, two almost tangible golden lights lit up, then quickly disappeared.
"Alas..."
Li Mo crawled out of the Pill Furnace, sighing, his expression quite dejected.
"In the end, it was still a failure."
"Failed?"
Xue Jing's excited expression froze, his eyes gradually dimming.
Indeed...
Was Outer Pill Dao just a youthful fantasy of his?
Even if everything was pushed to the extreme, it could only remain in the theoretical stage.
"Xiao Mo, you... don't be too disheartened. Outer Pill Dao is inherently against the principles of Heaven And Earth Treasure, so failure is normal, although we wasted quite a lot of Materials..."
The speed at which Outer Pill Dao consumed Heaven And Earth Treasure could only be described as astonishing.
Just one Mystic Core earlier was equivalent to one-fiftieth of Li Mo's inventory.
Looking at his dejected Master, Tang Xiaobao scratched his head:
"Eh? But I clearly saw Junior Brother Li swallow the Mystic Core!"
Xue Jing's expression froze.
Li Mo spread his hands and smiled:
"You believe me just like that, eh heh~"
The moment his voice fell, Elder Xue's face visibly flushed, turning red on the spot.
"I'll beat you to death, you little rascal!"
"Just kidding... Look at you, so anxious..."
And so, in the small courtyard, two chasing figures appeared.
Li Mo fled!
Xue Jing pursued!
Indeed, with four Mystic Cores in his body, Xiao Li's True Origin was inexhaustible, and his dodging movements were much faster.
But.
Inner Scenery was Inner Scenery after all.
After releasing his domain, a phantom of the dragon-tiger pill furnace pressed down, turning Xiao Li into a monkey under the Five-Finger Mountain.
Actually, Li Mo could have accelerated even more, but that would have cost money.
That Eight Treasures Gold Devouring Pill could devour the Qi of gold and silver, unleashing even greater power.
"You never learn anything good!"
"Ah? Learn from whom?"
"Of course, from your Master. Although she spends money lavishly, likes to fight, and loves to drink, she always has her own merits."
"...Such as?"
Xue Jing was momentarily speechless.
Tang Xiaobao, who had been dizzy for a while, just sobered up and was about to go tidy up the dragon-tiger pill furnace.
He suddenly frowned slightly:
"Master, the Pill Furnace lid is gone again!"
.......
Midnight.
Yulong Street had completely quieted down. The street was pitch black, and it was a time when no one was around.
A person resembling a waiter walked in the dark on the street. If one didn't look closely, they wouldn't even notice someone there.
"Hmm... No one followed..."
Xu Yi remained vigilant of his surroundings at all times. After walking three streets, he finally let out a sigh of relief.
"What if they sealed my Meridians and Dantian?"
"In the end, I was still more skilled."
Xu Yi had many identities, so he learned many things.
Even if he was no different from an ordinary person at this moment, he could skillfully untie a tortoise shell knot.
Then, using the observed Divine Intention, he concealed his figure.
Finally, he quietly escaped in the middle of the night.
Of course, he wasn't faking it during the day; he was genuinely willing to take Li Mo to the Black Building.
But.
If he didn't report back to Yin Mianmian on time, they would assume he was dead.
At that time, what awaited Li Mo would be a tenfold increase in the bounty and even more intense targeting from the Rain Listening Pavilion.
If Li Mo got into trouble, who would he get money from?
So he planned to report back first, then quietly return to the inn...
Xu Yi walked another street. He was about to take out the Hall Courtyard Swallow to leave a signal here when.
Whoosh—
What was that sound?
Xu Yi turned around and saw a dark, round object spinning and flying towards him.
And it was getting closer and closer.
What was that thing?
A lid?
Duang~~
The sound of his head and the lid making intimate contact was strangely pleasant.
After his scalp tingled, Xu Yi's eyes went black, and he collapsed straight onto the roadside.
Not long after.
A figure with a cloth strip over her eyes and a small basket on her back approached.
"Eh?"
"Isn't this... isn't this Xu Xiaoer?"
Jiang Chulong, who was about to pick out the things on him, recognized Xu Yi and tilted her head in confusion.
Why was he here?
Is he... dead?
Jiang Chulong poked Xu Yi's stomach with a peach wood branch, a little disappointed.
He was still alive.
Then his things weren't trash...
"Did... did Li Dage send him out...?"
Jiang Chulong decided to go back and ask again.
So she picked up the Pill Furnace lid with one hand, grabbed one of Xu Yi's feet with her left hand, and dragged him back to the inn.
Bang—
A muffled thud, the sound of the back of his head making intimate contact with the curb.
