《Taoist strange fairy》


 Chapter 1 Master

    Li Huowang held the pestle in his hand and aimlessly pounded it into the mortar, grinding the flowing green stones mixed with mud into powder. Despite the damp and cold cave, he only wore a rough cloth shirt, seemingly indifferent to his surroundings.


    He wasn''t alone in the cave, there were other young men and women of similar age, all with tied hair and coarse hemp ropes. The only difference between them and Li Huowang was the prominent physical deformities they possessed ¨C albinism, polio, and various other congenital and acquired illnesses.


    All manner of bodily malformations could be found here, making the storage cave seem like a grotesque museum.


    Their work was the same as Li Huowang''s, pounding things, but the substances being pounded varied from gold and stone to medicinal materials. However, it was evident that some of the people were not focused on their tasks.


    "Ah!" A terrified scream from a woman drew everyone''s attention.


    It was a chubby teenager with a cleft lip who wore a lecherous smile on his face, attempting to pull a girl with albinism into his embrace.


    "Just let me have a go, I promise it''ll just be once, hehehe~"


    Ignoring the commotion, Li Huowang closed his eyes and continued his work. As the woman''s crying grew increasingly pitiful, an irritated Li Huowang muttered to himself, then picked up a stone mortar with one hand.


    "Thud." The stone collided with bone, emitting a muffled sound.


    The cleft-lipped chubby boy fell to the ground, his head bleeding. He sat there dumbstruck, obviously dazed by the blow. After two seconds, his expression twisted in pain as he clutched his wound and wailed.


    The white-haired girl, who had avoided her fate of violation, cowered behind Li Huowang, hugging her clothes in fear.


    "I''m telling you! You''re done for! Do you know who my master is? If he finds out, he''ll kill you!" The cleft-lipped boy threatened indignantly.


    "What kind of person is he? He''s nothing! He''s not even worth a fart!" Li Huowang''s words left the room in shocked silence.


    No one present had ever imagined that this man would dare to utter such words to his seniors and juniors.


    Observing the expressions of his so-called martial siblings, Li Huowang took a deep breath and suppressed his anger.


    "What''s wrong with me? Why am I getting angry with these things? My temperament isn''t supposed to be so confrontational. I can''t let them affect my character. The me just now wasn''t the real me. Stay calm, stay calm."


    Just as Li Huowang was trying to calm himself, someone called him from the entrance.


    "Junior Brother Li, Junior Sister Wang, the master is summoning you." The person calling was clearly of a higher status than Li Huowang, dressed in a worn-out blue daoist robe.


    Although the robe appeared old and even the cuffs were faded, it was still much better than the tattered hemp cloth on Li Huowang''s body.


    The person stood there, one hand holding a horse tail whisk, looking at the younger generations in front of them with a hint of arrogance in their eyes.


    Seeing the young Taoist appear, the fat man with a bloody head immediately showed a gloating expression. "Haha! You''re done for!! Today is your turn to suffer."


    However, Li Huowang completely ignored him and turned to follow a woman with a twisted mouth and drooling, who looked pale and unhealthy, towards the door.


    After taking just a few steps, Li Huowang felt someone tugging at his sleeve, pulling him back from moving forward. He turned around to see that it was the albino girl he had saved before.


    This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Her teary eyes were shaking as she continuously shook her head, filled with fear.


    But Li Huowang remained indifferent, forcefully shaking off her grip and striding forward.


    Coming out of the storeroom, they entered an even larger cave, with many other caves on the cave walls serving different purposes, but judging by their rough appearance, the craftsmanship of the people who built this place was obviously not very good.


    The whole cave was spacious, with tunnels of various sizes crisscrossing like an enlarged ant nest.


    Decayed peach wood plaques were nailed to each small cave entrance, carved with the names of each cave using deep and precise strokes. There were names such as Ling Palace, Old Law Hall, Ancestral Celebration Hall, and Four Imperial Halls.


    A naturally formed cave had been transformed into what looked like a Taoist hall.


    As the two continued walking along the cave, the crooked-mouthed woman took out a dark object from her pocket and suddenly handed it to Li Huowang, saying in her dazed and silly voice, "Eat... some candy?"


    Li Huowang furrowed his brows slightly, seemingly aware of the woman''s foolishness, and impatiently took it from her, stuffing it into his sleeve.


    Seeing Li Huowang take it, she also took out one for herself from her pocket and put it in her mouth, continuing to say in a silly manner, "Master... hello... candy for Master..."


    Li Huowang had no intention of responding to her. The two continued walking and after about fifteen minutes, a quaint, blackened alchemy furnace of great height appeared before him.


    The smoky furnace pierced through the top of the cave, and it looked like a small metal mountain.


    As they approached, the furnace gradually grew larger, and eventually the shadow of the furnace completely engulfed them, making Li Huowang feel oppressed.


    Apart from the immense five-level furnace, another thing that made him feel oppressed was a figure standing in front of the furnace.


    From behind, he wore a blue-green Taoist robe, with hairpin and crown, his temples white, giving him an aura of an immortal.


    Sitting cross-legged on the ground, he seemed to be doing the same thing Li Huowang had done before, repeatedly pounding with a pestle. However, the pestle in his hand was obviously much larger, resembling a giant pillar.


    With each rise and fall, the sound of stone hitting metal reverberated throughout the cave.


    "Master...!" The crooked-mouthed woman clumsily pinched her left thumb with her right hand, placing the four fingers of her left hand on top, clasping her hands to her chest, showing deep respect in her eyes.


    As soon as she spoke, the harsh pounding sound stopped.


    The figure turned around. Although Li Huowang was prepared, his pupils still contracted slightly in surprise.


    The front and back of the Taoist were completely different. From behind, he had an ethereal aura, but from the front, he looked like a disgusting old man with a warty head, with a few yellow teeth sporadically exposed in his dirty and ugly face.


    "You''re here? Good disciple, making me wait."


    Waving his filthy Taoist robe, the old Taoist rose into the air, grabbing the crooked-mouthed woman by the neck and pulling her back.


    Before the foolish woman could say another word, she was instantly thrown into a half-height stone jar. In the next moment, the sounds of screams abruptly stopped, emanating from the stone jar.


    Flesh remnants and specks of blood splashed onto the old Taoist''s face and body, but he remained unaffected, his expression filled with excitement as he chanted something with a certain rhythm.


    "Ding Chou extends my life, Ding Hai protects my soul; Jia Zi guards my body, Jia Xu maintains my form; Jia Shen secures my destiny, Jia Wu preserves my soul; Jia Chen safeguards my spirit!"


    After completely pulverizing everything, he raised the heavy stone jar with one hand and poured it all into the alchemy furnace in front of him. Then, with an extremely excited expression, he raised his hands high into the air.


    "Ignite the furnace, refine the elixir!"


    Two exaggeratedly blushing-faced Taoist disciples emerged from the shadows, fanning and pouring various ingredients into the furnace, including various gold and stone powders, as well as many wriggling creatures.


    In no time, a strange and intense fragrance permeated the air.


    At this moment, the leprous-headed master closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stroked his chin with hardly any beard, revealing a satisfied expression on his dirty and ugly face.


    When he slowly opened his eyes and clasped his hands behind his back, turning to look at Li Huowang, he said, "I heard you called me a fart? Is that true?"


    In an instant, the air around them seemed to freeze.


    Looking at the so-called master who killed without blinking, Li Huowang remained unaffected, slowly closing his eyes to calm his somewhat rapid breathing, silently repeating to himself, "You can''t deceive me, it''s all fake, it''s all fake."


    "Speak! Cat got your tongue? Huh?!" With the footsteps of the master approaching, a disgusting stench mixed with the smell of blood hit Li Huowang like a wall.


    Trembling, Li Huowang clenched his teeth tightly and forcefully opened his eyes with all his might.


    The dim and oppressive cave temple instantly disappeared, replaced by a bright and clean hospital room with fresh air. His lower body was tightly bound to the bed with bandages.

 Chapter Two: Li Huowang

    "Phew, finally back." Li Huowang let out a sigh of relief as he shouted into the microphone at the bedside.


    After a while, his attending physician entered the room with a white tablet and a nurse in tow.


    "Xiao Li, how are you feeling? Any new changes in your hallucinations?" The doctor sat on a stool and asked kindly.


    "It''s the same environment as before, doing the same things. But this time, Lai Zi Tou Shifu (the master with leprosy) cruelly killed someone in front of me and even practiced alchemy with her body," Li Huowang detailed everything he saw in his hallucinations.


    "Mhmm." The doctor nodded while quickly tapping on the tablet to record.


    After contemplating for a while, Li Huowang hesitantly asked, "Doctor, what do these different hallucinations represent? What do they mean for my inner and psychological state?"


    "No, you shouldn''t worry about that. What you should focus on is the duration of the hallucinations and your mental stability," the doctor denied Li Huowang''s question.


    "Remember, since they are hallucinations, they are all false. You have already overcome the hallucinatory perception disorder; just don''t get caught up in them again."


    "Each time you experience a hallucination, act according to the logic there and cooperate with the treatment in this hospital, and you will recover soon."


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang''s heart tightened. This was crucial to whether he could be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible. He couldn''t afford to be careless.


    The doctor didn''t forget to encourage his patient.


    "In fact, you are doing very well now. When you first arrived, you couldn''t distinguish between reality and fantasy. It will get better in the future. Keep it up, and good luck."


    While the two were talking, they heard light footsteps coming from the entrance of the ward.


    They both turned their heads at the same time and saw a young girl wearing a high-necked black sweater sneaking a peek inside.


    The girl appeared to be sixteen or seventeen years old, the most beautiful age of blooming youth.


    Her skin was fair as jade, and her flowing black hair cascaded down her shoulders like a waterfall. She was so beautiful, like a blossoming flower.


    Seeing the hesitant expressions on the two young men, the attending physician tactfully chuckled. He pushed his glasses lightly on his nose with his finger and turned to walk towards the door.


    "I have something else to attend to. You can continue. Oh, Xiao Li, remember to take your medicine on time later."


    As soon as the doctor left, the girl walked in. The two smiled at each other, and Li Huowang immediately felt a sweet sensation in his heart, tossing aside his worries about his illness.


    "Don''t smile, you look really ugly. Look at what I brought for you. The teachers personally assigned these review assignments!" The mischievous girl took out a canvas bag from behind her.


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang''s face drooped. "Nana, we''ve been friends since childhood. Is this how you''re getting back at me?"


    The girl named Yang Nana closed the door behind her and took out a small handheld game console, proudly shaking it. "And this too~ Hehe, be good and call me ''sister,'' and I''ll give it to you."


    "Sis! You''re my real sister." Li Huowang excitedly rushed over and grabbed the game console from her.


    Being cooped up in the mental hospital every day was unbearably boring. He was going crazy even without actually being insane.


    "You should play less and remember to do your homework," Yang Nana sat on the edge of the bed and reminded Li Huowang as he turned on the console.


    Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    "Mhmm, mhmm." Li Huowang''s attention was focused on the screen of the handheld game console.


    With her slender and fair fingers pinching his blue and white hospital gown, she playfully tugged it. "Hey, don''t forget, you promised me something."


    Li Huowang paused and looked up at her, his face suddenly becoming serious. "Yes, we agreed that we would attend the same university through the college entrance examination."


    Yang Nana blushed slightly, feeling a bit shy. Her voice became soft like a mosquito. "Yes, take good care of yourself in here. I''ll be waiting for you..."


    Li Huowang suddenly reached out and pulled her into his arms.


    The blushing Yang Nana didn''t struggle; she simply closed her eyes and whispered softly, "You big pervert."


    The two of them didn''t do anything more than embrace, but for the deeply in love couple, it brought immense happiness.


    After cherishing each other for a while, Yang Nana had to leave. After all, she was in the crucial period of her senior year, and being able to spare half a day to visit was already precious.


    Although their time together was always short, for Li Huowang, it was a ray of light in his days of suffering.


    "I''ll walk you to the hospital gate." Li Huowang, dressed in blue and white striped hospital gown, lifted the blanket and put on white hospital slippers.


    Just as they were about to walk towards the gate together, something felt off. Li Huowang suddenly noticed that the pestle he used to grind medicine in his hallucination was placed on the bedside table.


    His body trembled and took two steps back, but when he regained his composure and looked again, the pestle had already turned into his lunchbox.


    "What''s wrong? Are you alright?" Seeing his startled reaction, Yang Nana showed a hint of concern on her face.


    Seeing her worried expression, Li Huowang quickly put on a playful smile. "Haha, scared you, didn''t I?"


    Yang Nana frowned and puffed her cheeks, reaching out to give a strong pinch on the flesh around his waist. "You''re this old and still act like a child? Doing such childish things."


    "Don''t be angry, I just wanted to make you happy." Li Huowang reached out to hold her hand but was immediately shrugged off.


    However, after a few attempts, their hands finally intertwined.


    Other patients who were basking in the sun in the courtyard witnessed this scene, and peaceful smiles appeared on their faces. Such innocent and pure love was beautiful.


    Although they walked slowly, they eventually reached the end. Yang Nana stood at the hospital gate, reluctantly watching Li Huowang. "I''ll come to see you next week. Take care inside, okay?"


    "How about you don''t come next week? I know you''re under a lot of pressure with your studies. You only have half a day of rest each week, and you have to waste it on me."


    Yang Nana lifted her petite leg and lightly stepped on Li Huowang''s hospital slipper, wrinkling her delicate eyebrows together. "Underachiever, don''t assume everyone is like you. I''ve never dropped out of the top three in my grades. Where''s the study pressure?"


    "Ah~" Li Huowang covered his heart with his hand, pretending to be in pain. "You''ve struck a nerve, sis."


    Yang Nana playfully punched him after being teased, then turned and ran towards the bus stop across from the hospital gate like a small deer.


    Li Huowang continued watching until the bus that his girlfriend boarded disappeared completely. The smile on his face gradually faded.


    Recalling what he had just seen, he walked anxiously towards the doctor''s office.


    One hour later, lying in bed and tossing and turning unable to sleep, Li Huowang felt restless as he contemplated his future with Yang Nana. On the table next to him were the newly prescribed medicines for his treatment.


    During the day, the pestle from his hallucination and Yang Nana''s smile kept rotating in his mind.


    "What if my condition worsens, and I can''t leave the hospital before the college entrance examination? Then I won''t be able to attend the same university as Yang Nana."


    Although he stayed inside, Li Huowang was aware of the rumors outside. In the eyes of his neighbors, he was nothing but a lunatic.


    But just a day before he was admitted, Yang Nana, his childhood friend, had confessed her feelings to him. Her emotions for him were evident without words.


    She was a good girl, and he, as a man, didn''t want to let her down.


    "This shouldn''t be happening. I''ve been strictly following the doctor''s orders these days, so why would my condition worsen? Will I have to transfer to another hospital? This is already the third one."


    "Dr. Li should be fine. He is the best doctor my father found," Li Huowang thought, trying to ease his troubled mind.


    The more he thought about these worries, the more troubled he became. Eventually, he decided to sit up and started studying, pouring himself into the complex and unfamiliar knowledge in an attempt to alleviate his lingering concerns.


    Li Huowang continued to do his homework, and as he wrote, he realized it was already late at night.


    Just as he finished a piece of English test paper and let out a big yawn, he rubbed his throbbing temples.


    "Oh... What time is it? It must be late." Li Huowang put on his slippers and prepared to go to the bathroom before returning to bed.


    As he lazily walked towards the door, his right hand, which was itching, suddenly stopped. Li Huowang felt something strange on his chest.


    Li Huowang pulled open his collar and saw a dark brown substance stuck softly to his chest.


    That strangely familiar color sparked a thought in his mind.


    Li Huowang lightly touched it with his finger and put it in his mouth. The bitter sweetness he tasted made his pupils slightly contract.


    It was the candy that the deceased foolish senior sister had given him in the hallucination! The things from the hallucinations were appearing in reality!

 Chapter Three: jade pendant

    When Li Huowang realized that the lump in his chest was indeed real, his heart raced and his first instinct was to tell Dr. Li.


    But as he raised his right foot, it hung in the air, and other thoughts suddenly flooded his mind.


    He knew that his hallucinations were not limited to sugar cubes; there were other valuable things, even more valuable than that!


    Savoring the sweetness melting in his mouth, Li Huowang paced slowly in the hospital room.


    "This is an opportunity! A chance to make Yang Na and myself rich overnight! It could even be a chance for me to succeed in life!" He was thrilled at the thought.


    "I can''t tell Dr. Li. I don''t want to be sent to the lab for experiments. Besides, it''s not his business." Li Huowang thought to himself.


    "But, I can''t rush to conclusions about this matter. I need to thoroughly understand what is happening." He made up his mind about what he wanted to do.


    Just as he was thinking this, the environment around him started to distort and the clean, tidy hospital room began to fade away.


    Facing this situation, Li Huowang was already accustomed to it. He quickly put the papers and books into his bag and threw it into a distant corner of the wall, so that his hallucinating self wouldn''t tear them apart.


    Then he pressed the red button next to the bed, and after a few seconds, he saw the last scene: several nurses walking in and tying him to the bed with a wide cloth bag.


    When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in the crude, icy cave-like environment. The "junior brothers and junior sisters" with physical disabilities looked at him curiously.


    Rising from the cold stone surface, Li Huowang examined everything around him with his special perspective, which seemed incredibly real.


    Perhaps he wasn''t actually sick, but had acquired a rare and extraordinary ability. The incompetent doctors just couldn''t detect it.


    "Maybe I''m not sick at all, yes, that''s right, I''m not sick."


    These years, he had had enough of the label of being mentally ill, with everyone looking at him with strange eyes.


    As soon as he thought about the possibility of getting rid of this label in the future, Li Huowang couldn''t contain his excitement.


    With a joyful smile, he reached out and playfully messed up the shiny bald head of a nearby person. "Haha, this is really interesting."


    "Why are you all standing here? Why don''t you get to work? If Master''s medicine doesn''t work, he''ll skin you alive!" A voice filled with dislike came from the entrance of the cave.


    Li Huowang turned around and saw the high and haughty Taoist who had delivered the message earlier. His face still carried the same arrogance, as if speaking to these medicine takers would tarnish his eyes.


    Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Li Huowang remembered the name of this guy; this hallucination guy''s Taoist title seemed to be Xuan Yang.


    Facing Xuan Yang''s contemptuous gaze, Li Huowang didn''t bother to pay attention to his Yin and Yang peculiarities. Instead, his attention was focused on the round jade pendant hanging from Xuan Yang''s waist.


    "This must be an antique, right? If I sell this in the real world, it must be worth a lot of money."


    "But what should I do? Should I snatch it and put it in my chest like the sugar cube?"


    After thinking for a while, Wang Huowang made a decision. This jade pendant would be his next experiment for teleportation.


    As for how to obtain it, it was simple: just steal it at night. "That jade pendant is good, but soon it will be mine."


    A small white hand reached out from beside him and gently pulled on Li Huowang''s hemp cloth sleeve. A soft and sweet voice sounded in his ear.


    "Senior Brother Li, let''s get to work. If we don''t finish, we won''t have food."


    Li Huowang turned his head and saw the girl with albinism whom he had helped before.


    After a moment of thought, he reached into his pocket and handed her the remaining half-melted black sugar. Then he turned and went to his position, picking up the pestle and starting to work.


    For the time being, no matter whether it was here or the hospital, he decided not to do anything too outrageous.


    Such mind-blowing things were not suitable to be told to anyone, and he needed to understand the rules completely before making any other plans.


    As the monotonous sound of pounding medicine filled the air, Li Huowang slowly opened his eyes in the darkness while lying on the bunk bed.


    The cave, devoid of any windows, was pitch black, but Li Huowang reached out and felt his way towards the door.


    He first went to his workplace and picked up a piece of grinding stone that emitted a faint fluorescent light. It prevented him from stumbling in the pitch-black cave.


    Although it was a bit too conspicuous to hold such a stone in the dark, Li Huowang didn''t care.


    "If I''m discovered, I can just retreat back to the hospital. I have an escape plan, so what am I afraid of?" He confidently muttered to himself.


    The whole cave was quite extensive, and Li Huowang had been here for some time, so he was familiar with the surroundings.


    Soon, he entered Xuan Yang''s cave. Although it was still simple, the fact that there was a bed alone indicated the fundamental difference between Xuan Yang and the medicine takers.


    But to Li Huowang''s surprise, Xuan Yang was not in the cave. His clothes were there, but he wasn''t. Li Huowang couldn''t be bothered with all that and reached into his robes to grab the jade pendant.


    After sneaking out of the cave, Li Huowang carefully examined the round jade pendant in his hand under the glow of the fluorescent stone.


    The jade pendant was translucent and smooth, with exquisite cloud patterns carved on it. Even someone unfamiliar with this field could tell that it was a high-quality jade.


    The more Li Huowang looked at it, the happier he became. If he could bring this thing to the real world, this jade pendant alone could cover his and Yang Na''s four years of university tuition.


    "Hehehe~ Yang Na, get ready to be a wealthy woman." Li Huowang laughed and slipped the jade pendant back into the cave. He then turned back and walked away.


    Everything was going smoothly, but some things weren''t meant to be smooth all the time. Just as he was about to reach the door, turning a corner on the stone steps, Li Huowang came face to face with a group of people.


    It was a group of boys and girls around Li Huowang''s age. Their terrified faces flickered in the light of the box of fire in Li Huowang''s hand.


    Both sides were startled by each other, standing still without saying a word for a while.


    In the end, it was Li Huowang who spoke up. He pointed at Xuan Yang, dressed in coarse clothing, among the group and asked, "Brother Xuan Yang, is this your punishment for the material room?"


    Among these people, there was not only Xuan Yang but also Taoists in charge of other tasks. One of them was the Taoist who had fanned the alchemy furnace before.


    But regardless of what they were doing before, now they were all wearing coarse robes and pants, with nothing else on them.


    Xuan Yang''s expression quickly changed a few times as he walked up to Li Huowang and lowered his voice.


    "Let''s go! Come with us! We''re escaping from this hellish place! Brother Doorman has already opened the way."


    "Escape? Oh! So you guys want to¡ª" Li Huowang''s words of escape were cut off abruptly as Xuan Yang covered his mouth with his hand.

 Chapter 4: Black Cauldron

    When Xuan Yang covered Li Huowang''s mouth and the others holding the firebox quickly rushed forward, their hostile expressions surrounded Li Huowang.


    "So you''re not going to leave? Then you''ll die here today! We won''t let you go and inform that leper head!"


    Despite his current life-or-death situation, Li Huowang remained calm. Rolling his eyes in silence, he cursed the dramatic turn of events in his mind and closed his eyes, taking a deep breath.


    When he opened his eyes again, he found himself bound to a hospital bed with wide straps. All his fellow disciples holding the firebox had disappeared.


    "Aunt Wang, I''m awake. Can you please untie me?" Li Huowang shouted into the microphone at the bedside, hoping that the night shift nurse would come and check on the surveillance cameras. He desperately wanted to see if the jade pendant was still in his clothes.


    However, after shouting for a while without any response, Li Huowang realized that Nurse Wang must have sneaked off to watch her favorite TV drama again. She always loved slacking off during the night shift.


    Li Huowang lowered his gaze to his chest, which was wrapped in blue and white hospital garb, and tried to twist his body to feel if the jade pendant was still there. But he was tightly bound and could hardly sense anything. After a few attempts, he reluctantly gave up.


    Left with no other choice, Li Huowang could only lie on the bed and pray that Nurse Wang would finish watching her drama and finally check the surveillance camera.


    In the late night environment, even the second floor where critical patients were kept was quiet. Li Huowang fell into a drowsy sleep. When he woke up again, he found himself lying on the cold ground of an icy cave.


    He was in the same location, but all those who attempted to escape had vanished.


    "Hmph, you NPCs think you can deal with me?" Li Huowang muttered under his breath, taking the jade pendant out of his pocket and gently flipping it in his hand before putting it back.


    Returning to his shared dormitory, lying in a pile of hay, Li Huowang patiently awaited the arrival of daylight. The thought of the value of the jade pendant filled him with excitement, making it impossible for him to fall asleep.


    Without a clock, Li Huowang didn''t know how much time had passed. When he saw his fellow disciples starting to wake up, he sat up as well.


    "It''s getting bright outside. Aunt Wang should be changing shifts soon, right? Or maybe I should go check now? Nurse Ai is much more dedicated than her."


    Just as Li Huowang was hesitating, they heard hurried footsteps at the door.


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    A Daoist apprentice dressed in black robes with tied-up hair rushed in anxiously.


    "Hurry up! Master wants everyone to gather in the Hui''an Hall!"


    This sudden news left everyone puzzled, but since it was their master''s order, they had no reason to refuse.


    Soon, in the largest cavern called the Hui''an Hall, all the disciples had gathered. The torchlight illuminated the expressions of confusion on their faces.


    Li Huowang keenly noticed that some people were missing. Aside from Xuan Yang, several of the senior disciples of the leper head master were also absent.


    "Oh, they ran away together?" Li Huowang, always eager for drama, thought to himself, watching the scene unfold.


    When a head emerged from the wriggling darkness of the tunnel, all the Daoist apprentices instinctively lowered their heads.


    It was their master, Dan Yangzi.


    "Cough~!" A cough made everyone tense up.


    "Last night, at two o''clock, there were people attempting to escape, including two of this master''s direct disciples. I am deeply saddened!" Although his mouth expressed sadness, the fierceness on his face was almost solidifying.


    "They were discovered? Xuan Yang and his gang are really pathetic," Li Huowang sneered.


    "Our sect cannot function without rules. Mistakes must be punished. This is the rule of our Xi Shan Donghua Sect! Follow me."


    All the disciples dared not breathe heavily and silently followed behind Dan Yangzi.


    Passing through various caverns, large and small, and crossing a turbulent underground river, they soon arrived at a damp cavern the size of a classroom.


    Li Huowang saw that those who tried to escape the previous night were all tied up and huddled in a corner, their expressions dejected. They seemed desperate to convey something, but the cloth gag in their mouths prevented them from saying anything.


    Dan Yangzi didn''t seem interested in listening to their pleas. He pointed forward with one hand, forming a sealing gesture. "Open!"


    The smooth ground in the cavern instantly opened up a large hole, and the escaping people fell into it.


    In the next moment, the cavern erupted with hysterical muffled screams, accompanied by the sounds of flesh tearing, bones breaking, and blood splattering.


    Faced with this horrifying scene, many Daoist apprentices'' legs began to tremble, and their eyes longed to shut tight.


    "Come closer! This is the consequence of their escape!" Dan Yangzi''s words drained the color from everyone''s faces.


    No one dared to defy their master''s command, and they were pushed to the edge of the hole.


    Inside the hole, it was dark, pitch black. It seemed like a vortex, ready to engulf everyone.


    Li Huowang carefully observed and recognized a large black cauldron inside the darkness. The edge of the cauldron was inscribed with twisted symbols.


    Something seemed to be moving inside the cauldron, but Li Huowang couldn''t see clearly. The only information his senses received was the nauseating and repulsive smell of blood coming from inside.


    Regardless of what was inside, Li Huowang was certain that whatever Dan Yangzi was keeping in this hole was not a normal existence in the world.


    As for what exactly it was, Li Huowang couldn''t guess, nor did he want to take another look by walking closer.


    Although he knew that these things were all created by his own mind, Li Huowang wanted to understand why his illusions produced such terrifying things.


    Li Huowang''s body trembled almost to the point of collapse as he was overwhelmed by sheer terror. He took a few deep breaths and immediately began self-soothing, following the techniques taught by Dr. Li.


    "All of this is an illusion, no matter how real it seems, it''s just an illusion. Li Huowang, you can''t get lost in these illusions anymore. They are all creations of your own mind, so what are you afraid of?"


    "Yang Na is still waiting for me. I can''t let her down. I can overcome all of this! I definitely can!"


    Through his self-soothing, Li Huowang gradually stabilized his emotions and was able to face everything in front of him with composure.

 Chapter 5: Pill

    At this moment, Dan Yangzi completely ignored what Li Huowang was thinking. He was lecturing his terrified disciples.


    "From now on, anyone with ulterior motives should remember what they saw today!"


    Dan Yangzi''s words made everyone''s hearts tighten and fear filled their eyes.


    Walking in front of his disciples with his hands behind his back, he swept his eagle-like gaze over everyone''s faces.


    "I tell you all, helping others become immortals is a great merit. If I become an immortal, I will not forget your kindness. But if anyone ruins my plans! Hmph!!"


    As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly stopped in front of Li Huowang, examining this disciple who looked different from the others.


    "You think I''m afraid of someone like you, a mere illusion? You are just a thought in my head!" Li Huowang thought to himself, meeting his master''s gaze with calm eyes.


    When Dan Yangzi raised his right hand, covered in mud from under his fingernails, the atmosphere in the cave became tense. Everyone''s gaze turned towards this fellow disciple who dared to offend their master, waiting to see how their master would deal with him.


    To their surprise, Dan Yangzi''s expression suddenly relaxed. He raised his right hand and lightly patted Li Huowang''s head, instantly dissipating the heavy atmosphere.


    "Last night, those traitors invited you to leave with them. Why didn''t you agree?"


    This sentence seemed like a question directed at Li Huowang, but it was actually a praise.


    Just as Li Huowang was about to speak, he saw Dan Yangzi raise his hand to stop him. "Don''t say any nonsense. Although you didn''t inform me in time, compared to those treacherous scum, you have done quite well."


    His hand dropped and he continued, "I see that you have good talent. You don''t need to work in the warehouse anymore. From now on, you will be my named disciple."


    Li Huowang was stunned. His position was being elevated? But he quickly realized that with so many dead in the cave, this guy must be short of helpers.


    "Oh, since you have become my disciple and joined our sect, you need a Dao name. Your title shall be Xuan Yang."


    Li Huowang glanced at the round hole in the corner, and the image of the previous Xuan Yang flashed through his mind. In his heart, he thought, "Hmm, this name is really ominous."


    Although Li Huowang didn''t care much about the treatment, the others in the warehouse suddenly had envy in their eyes. Becoming Dan Yangzi''s named disciple meant they wouldn''t die.


    If you spot this narrative on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    But this was not enough for Dan Yangzi. After giving the carrot comes the stick. That''s how you hook people. "Xuan Yang, since you just joined our sect, I have a gesture to make."


    As he called his name, Li Huowang quickly walked next to him, expecting that he would receive something.


    Dan Yangzi poured out five dark pills from his gourd, placing them in Li Huowang''s palm.


    "Take them. These five pills are divine elixirs refined by me. They not only grant you an extra ten years of life but also temporarily enhance your strength and protect your life."


    Li Huowang frowned and placed the pills in front of him. "These things weren''t made using humans, right?"


    Just as he was thinking this, Li Huowang suddenly saw one of the pills roll slightly, changing from a circle to an oval shape, as if something inside wanted to crawl out.


    But when he looked closely, the pill showed no signs of change.


    "What the hell, am I going crazy? Why do I care about things in my illusions? It''s all fake. I definitely can''t get caught up in it again."


    Li Huowang frustratedly slapped himself on the head.


    Ignoring Li Huowang''s abnormality, Dan Yangzi turned his head to the remaining people. "See that? Going against me is a dead end, but anyone who helps me will be rewarded generously!"


    Everyone''s gaze shifted between Dan Yangzi and the pills. At this moment, each person had their own thoughts, but only they knew what they were thinking.


    Achieving his goal, Dan Yangzi waved his filthy sleeves, letting everyone disperse and continue their work.


    Li Huowang no longer needed to go to the warehouse. His title was Xuan Yang, and everything that belonged to the previous Xuan Yang was now his, including status, Dao robes, and even the unique small cave.


    However, Li Huowang was troubled. An old problem confronted him once again, forcing him to face it.


    "If I bring these pills out and they really have an effect when consumed, then is this place an illusion? What is happening to me?"


    He had faithfully followed the doctor''s advice, treating everything on the other side as an illusion. But now, these things appeared in front of him, shaking his beliefs.


    If it was an illusion, why did these things become real, and what harm could they cause?


    If it was another world over there, then...


    The scenes of the mentally ill sister who was refined into a pill, and Xuan Yang being devoured by the black cauldron flashed through his mind, terrifying and horrifying him, making his breathing quicken.


    "Ah! This is so annoying. I don''t even have someone to discuss this with." Frustrated, Li Huowang scratched his head with both hands.


    After venting, Li Huowang finally had to face the issue. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided on his approach.


    Whether it was real or fake, he would continue to cooperate as if it were real. If it turned out to be real, he could protect himself.


    If it was fake, then he wouldn''t be harmed.


    Currently, he would experiment with the authenticity and value of these things that were sent to him before making further plans.


    With his approach determined, Li Huowang took a deep breath and used his index finger and thumb to pick up one of the pills, holding it in front of his eyes.


    "No, it''s too risky to take it myself." His gaze shifted towards the patients basking in the sun in the garden outside.


    After a brief struggle, he dejectedly put the pill down. They were all unfortunate people like himself, how could he make them test the medicine? He would find a way to get a small white mouse later.


    Then Li Huowang looked at the round jade pendant. Compared to the pills, dealing with this object was much easier.


    "Alright, what do you want? I came over secretly. If this is a prank, hmph!" Yang Na clenched her small white fist and threatened Li Huowang.


    "Little girl, I only called you here because I had no other choice. You know I can''t leave." Li Huowang explained and walked to the door of the ward, closing it and drawing the curtains.

 Chapter 6: Value

    Seeing Li Huowang''s actions, Yang Na took a step back in panic. "What are you doing? The nurses can hear us when we talk here."


    As soon as she finished speaking, laughter could be heard from the speaker at the head of the bed. "Hoho, it''s okay, we can''t hear anything. Little Brother Li, do your best!"


    "Sisters, can you please stop gossiping? Focus on the intensive care unit."


    After shouting towards the speaker, Li Huowang pulled Yang Na to another corner of the room.


    He took out the jade pendant from his pocket and placed it in her hand, then leaned close to her ear and whispered. Yang Na''s eyes widened as he spoke.


    "This can''t be, this..." Before she could finish her sentence, Li Huowang covered her mouth with his hand.


    Their eyes met, and Li Huowang looked at Yang Na with intense longing.


    "Help me, everything I said is true. Even my own parents don''t trust me, they think I''m crazy. You''re the only person I can trust in the whole world. I''m not crazy!"


    After watching Li Huowang for a few seconds, Yang Na finally nodded, her eyes becoming teary. As she left, she kept looking back, seemingly very worried about Li Huowang''s mental state.


    Li Huowang watched her retreating figure with complex emotions. He no longer cared about what others thought of him, but Yang Na was different.


    "Na Na, trust me this once, just once!"


    The waiting time was always long, and Li Huowang paced anxiously in the room.


    During this time, he experienced another hallucination, but Li Huowang quickly snapped out of it. According to the doctor, this was not good, but he was afraid of missing Yang Na.


    One day, two days, three days passed. The time passed day by day, and Li Huowang became more and more anxious.


    "Little Li, your girlfriend is here to see you~" Upon hearing the nurse''s announcement, Li Huowang leaped out of bed like a fish and rushed towards the hospital door.


    In the garden of the hospital, Li Huowang met Yang Na. They embraced each other excitedly.


    Yang Na suppressed her voice and shouted in his ear, "Huowang, it''s true! The jade pendant is real!"


    "I''m not sick!! Hahaha!! I''m not sick!" Li Huowang excitedly twirled the girl around in the air.


    After their excitement died down, they finally calmed themselves.


    "I asked for your help, did it affect your life and studies?" Li Huowang asked while caring for Yang Na, who was sitting next to the flower bed.


    Instead of answering directly, Yang Na changed the subject and extended her delicate fingers towards Li Huowang. "Do you know? How much is this jade pendant worth? This number!"


    "Four...thousand?"


    This book is hosted on another platform. Read the official version and support the author''s work.


    "Four hundred thousand! And I think they definitely undervalued it. If we ask a few more appraisers, the price will definitely be higher."


    "Four hundred thousand...four hundred thousand..." Li Huowang laughed foolishly. This could not only cover his medical expenses over the years but also leave some left. More importantly, it was just the beginning.


    "Yang Na, are you ready to become a rich lady?"


    Li Huowang''s teasing made Yang Na blush slightly. "Stop talking nonsense. This whole thing is too strange. Are you sure it won''t harm your health?"


    "It''s fine, what could possibly happen to me? Okay, if that''s the case, I might have to delay my treatment for a while. This is a treasure, I can''t be cured so quickly."


    Upon hearing this, Yang Na''s expression became tense. She worriedly said to Li Huowang, "Huowang, that''s different. I don''t want the money. Your treatment must not stop, and you can''t stop taking your medication. Promise me, or I won''t help you anymore."


    Li Huowang thought of many reasons to argue with her in his mind, but looking at her concerned and worried gaze, a warm feeling surged in his heart. "Okay, I promise you."


    Yang Na smiled and gently patted his head. "That''s good, little brother."


    Just as they were discussing how to turn the jade pendant into cash, several middle-aged men with strong builds walked hastily past them, holding riot forks.


    "What happened to Master Zhao? Is something wrong?" Li Huowang asked one of the familiar faces in confusion.


    "Don''t ask too much. Little Li, go back to the ward quickly. Also, you encountered Old Liu. Remember to report it immediately. That guy must have secretly spit out his medicine again." The person hurriedly said before turning and rushing towards the stairs.


    "Isn''t the intensive care area fenced with two layers of iron bars? How could Old Liu, with his small build, escape?" Li Huowang wondered as he looked in that direction.


    He had stayed there for a while when he couldn''t distinguish between reality and hallucination, and it was not a good memory.


    Seeing the other patients being taken back to the ward by the nurses, Li Huowang turned to Yang Na and said, "It''s a bit chaotic here. You should go back. Call the hospital tonight, and we''ll contact each other through the phone."


    "Okay, you take care here. And remember the promise you made earlier." After saying that, Yang Na turned and walked towards the hospital gate, her handkerchief stained with tears.


    "Four hundred thousand..." Li Huowang sighed. Now that the jade pendant was really worth that much money, he started to have many new thoughts.


    Hallucinations or reality, it didn''t matter anymore. If the thing over there was worth so much money, why does it matter if it''s a hallucination or reality?


    Just as Li Huowang took a few steps, a familiar scream came from behind him. He turned around and saw a bald, skinny old man tackling Yang Na to the ground.


    Seeing this scene, Li Huowang''s blood boiled, and he gritted his teeth with a fierce expression. He charged towards them. "Old Liu! That''s my girlfriend, let her go!"


    "Woo-woo-woo~" A gust of wind suddenly howled, and a hexagonal brick flew through the air, hitting Li Huowang''s head with a thud.


    Everything spun, and Li Huowang fell heavily to the ground, his vision gradually turning red. His head was split open.


    In his red-tinted vision, Li Huowang saw a pair of swollen feet bound by patient gowns walking past him, heading towards the struggling and screaming Yang Na.


    Listening to the heavy footsteps moving closer to Yang Na, a buzzing sound filled Li Huowang''s mind, leaving only one thought: he couldn''t let them harm Yang Na!!


    Trembling, he took out a pill given by the master from his pocket, mixed it with his own blood, and stuffed it into his mouth.


    In an instant, an extremely hot and warm current surged from his stomach, spreading through Li Huowang''s limbs. He instantly felt full of strength, and his hazy mind became clear.


    "Crack!" He threw a punch, fiercely landing it on the fat man''s chin. Within moments, yellow teeth were loosened and flew out. Soon, only a few remained.


    Covered in blood, Li Huowang paid no attention to the fat man lying on the ground unable to get up. He stepped heavily on the skinny chest of Old Liu, who was spitting blood.


    "Crack, crack." The sound of bones breaking resounded, and Old Liu, who was spitting blood, flew away like a noodle, his body limp.


    Watching Yang Na on the ground, her torn sweater and teary eyes, Li Huowang clenched his teeth, his gum bleeding.


    His bloodshot eyes stared fixedly at the two people lying on the ground beside him. With one foot, he stomped heavily on the cement floor and pounced on them like a cheetah.


    "Huowang!! Stop!! What are you doing?!"

 Chapter 7 Qingfeng Temple

    Li Huowang lay on the bed wearing a hospital gown, silently staring at the IV hook above his head, as if waiting for something.


    The door of the ward creaked open. "Hey, Xiaoli, you were recovering well before. What happened now?" Li Huowang''s attending doctor walked in, disappointedly looking at him.


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang, with his head wrapped in bandages, grew anxious and began to explain, "Doctor, they attacked Yang Na first! I had to retaliate to protect her!"


    The doctor pushed his glasses up with his index finger and said, "Is that what you call retaliation? You almost sent Liu Jianye to the ICU with that kick. Haven''t you considered his condition before resorting to violence? I thought you were a sensible kid."


    Thinking of the frightened Yang Na, Li Huowang became defiant. "So what if he is mentally ill? Does that give him the right to do whatever he wants? If I had to choose between letting Yang Na get hurt and going to jail, I''d choose the latter."


    "You..." The attending doctor was rendered speechless by Li Huowang''s response.


    He sighed and shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. The hospital director has already called both families. You don''t have to worry about these things."


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang curled up on the other side of the bed, his mind calculating whether the jade pendant worth 400,000 yuan would be enough for compensation.


    But at that moment, he felt strangely calm. After realizing the effectiveness of the medicine, Li Huowang suddenly found himself with many new choices in life.


    Sensing that his young patient was feeling down, the doctor spoke to comfort him, "Xiaoli, don''t worry, you won''t go to jail. We can provide you with a medical certificate. Don''t think about these things, focus on recovering. We will take care of the rest."


    Li Huowang sensed the doctor''s concern in his words and said, "Thank you, doctor."


    "No need to thank me. I''m your attending doctor, after all. You''re still young, so I have to take care of you." The doctor patted Li Huowang''s shoulder.


    "But, Xiaoli, tell me honestly, how did you manage to injure them like that? It''s not something an ordinary person can do. Were you in a normal state of mind, or did you experience some new kind of stress-induced hallucination again?"


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang''s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately focused on the pocket of his jacket. "Well... I..."


    "I specialize in psychology, and I have some expertise in this area. Don''t try to hide your condition. You better think carefully before answering, because I don''t like it when my patients deceive me."


    Although the doctor''s tone was gentle, Li Huowang felt an invisible pressure in the room. He thought desperately about how to escape this predicament. He couldn''t let the doctor find out about the medicine.


    But just as he was searching for a way out, everything around him started to become unstable, and the doctor''s voice became increasingly muffled.


    If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.


    Within seconds, he realized he was once again trapped in a hallucination, lying on a stone bed in Xuan Yang''s single-room cave.


    Sitting up and holding his head, Li Huowang smiled at the simple furnishings around him. "Heh, well, this is also a solution."


    This time, he didn''t plan to return so quickly, in case the doctor stayed by his side.


    As he walked out of the room, Li Huowang observed the fellow disciples coming and going in the tunnel of the cave, and he began to calculate his next move.


    Since the medicine was real, he couldn''t be as casual as before. He had to manage this place carefully in order to extract more benefits from it.


    Fortunately, his identity had changed from a medicinal apprentice to a registered disciple under Lai Zi Tou. This gave him more freedom in his actions.


    When he saw a Daoist disciple with long mustaches passing by, Li Huowang''s eyes lit up, and he quickly followed after him. "Senior brother, senior brother!"


    The mustached Daoist turned his head and noticed Li Huowang, his tone indifferent. "Xuan Yang junior brother, what''s the matter?"


    Li Huowang imitated the way they spoke and answered, "I just became master''s disciple. Please enlighten me, senior brother. What should I do next?"


    "Don''t blame me for speaking bluntly. Although you were personally accepted by Master, your seniority is the lowest. For now, you can only run errands within Qing Feng Guan."


    "If you want Master to teach you the path to immortality, that''s a privilege reserved for closed-door disciples. You''re not qualified yet. For now, just wait outside the pill room with me."


    "Path to immortality...?" Li Huowang muttered to himself. He had never heard of anyone becoming immortal by refining people into pills.


    "Can Master really become immortal?"


    The mustached Daoist''s face revealed a hint of self-satisfaction. "Of course, Master has great supernatural powers. Serve him well, and you''ll see."


    Through this senior brother named Xuan Yin, Li Huowang gained a new understanding of the people in the cave. There were five registered disciples, one direct disciple, and the head of the sect, Dan Yang Zi.


    Apart from these people, the others were peripheral members, such as cooks, apprentices in the medicinal room, and general laborers. There were about a hundred and eighty of them in total.


    This was the first time that Li Huowang had a complete understanding of the entire sect. The number of people in the sect was relatively small, and one could even say it was crude, especially after the recent large number of deaths.


    During their conversation, the imposing alchemy furnace appeared in front of Li Huowang again, with wisps of white smoke drifting out as if something was being refined inside.


    This time, in addition to Dan Yang Zi, there was also his closed-door disciple, a gloomy-faced young man.


    After waiting with Xuan Yin for a while, Li Huowang received his task and went to the medicinal room with a list to count the ingredients, just like he used to do in Xuan Yang.


    As he entered the medicinal room covered in white dust, everyone working there looked at him with nervous eyes, tinged with fear.


    The albino girl took a few steps forward, pursing her lips, but ultimately didn''t say anything and retreated with trepidation.


    His identity had changed from being oppressed to becoming an oppressor.


    Li Huowang looked at them, his mind becoming more active. Their roles had completely reversed, and perhaps he could benefit from this.


    "Um, do you guys have any money on you?" His words stunned everyone. "Money? Don''t you understand? I mean silver, gold, or jade pendants."


    To be honest, Li Huowang really needed money. He didn''t know how much compensation Old Liu Tou would need, and his family was just an ordinary one. If the compensation was significant, his mother might have to sell their house. This was something he desperately needed to avoid.


    "Don''t bother, I guess you guys don''t have any money. Just give it all to me then. Consider it protection fee. From now on, you''re under my protection."


    He was being so direct, and the others finally understood. The people in the medicinal room started searching their pockets. They didn''t expect Li Huowang to protect them; they just wanted to avoid being bullied by him.


    A piece of blackened silver about the size of half a thumb, a copper hairpin, forty-odd round copper coins ¡ª that was all he obtained.


    Looking at these things, Li Huowang sighed. It seemed like he had miscalculated. These guys didn''t have any money. The value of these items probably didn''t even exceed what he had in his medical insurance card.

 Chapter 8 Flipping

    As Li Huowang turned around and walked back, he saw the albino girl shyly take off a shoe and remove a gold foot ring wrapped in red thread from her fair to almost transparent ankle.


    Opening his eyes wide, Li Huowang picked it up and flipped the golden foot ring in his palm. Although this ankle ring is a bit thin, it is still gold anyway, and it is estimated to be worth a lot of money.


    He contentedly stuffed these things into the wide cuffs of the Taoist robe and pointed at the white haired girl, saying, "Listen, she will be in charge of the material room in the future, and everything will be up to her


    Seeing everyone nodding hesitantly, Li Huowang rushed towards the elixir room with the prepared elixir.


    As he walked, he stole a glance at the waist of others, attempting to find another jade pendant. Unfortunately, he was disappointed to find that he had not found it.


    When Li Huowang returned to the Dan room, he saw the oppressive Dan stove slowly opening.


    A few dark blue pills quickly arranged neatly with a wave of Danyangzi''s large sleeve and entered the earthy yellow gourd on his waist.


    With this hand, Li Huowang''s eyes were filled with excitement. This should be the magical power mentioned by Xuanyin, and he didn''t know if he could find a way to learn it. If I can bring this ability to reality, then


    Li Huowang bent down and put down the elixir in his hand, ready to stand by and observe the heart, nose and mouth. Now that he doesn''t understand anything, he still needs to listen and see more.


    Xuanyang~


    Coming back to life? So fast? Am I really an errand runner? I can''t keep running errands. I need to find a way to make this leper give me his magic


    Li Huowang folded his hands and bowed to the shouting Danyangzi. Master, what can I do for you


    Go, bring a medicinal guide named Bai Lingmiao from the material room


    Li Huowang''s heart thumped for a moment, and his bowing right hand reached into his sleeve to touch the red lined ankle ring. It seemed that Bai Lingmiao was the name of the albino girl.


    Hmm~? "Danyangzi turned his head and looked at the new disciple who had not responded for a long time.


    Li Huowang suddenly felt a toothache all over. To be honest, he just said he wanted to cover her, and he was about to go back and say he wanted her to die. It''s really indescribable.


    You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version.


    Didn''t you hear what I said


    Feeling that Danyangzi''s tone was beginning to deteriorate, Li Huowang reluctantly sighed and closed his eyes.


    When he opened his eyes again, he had already returned to the clean and white ward. What can I do about this


    If in the past, he simply followed suit without saying a word, but the problem is that the world over there is now very likely to be real. If he really took people away, he might have really killed someone, and it''s really difficult to pass that level in his heart.


    After the nurses released themselves, Li Huowang bit his thumbnails and wandered back and forth in the room. What should we do? What should we do


    Before he could figure out a solution, the ward door was pushed open from outside, and Li Huowang saw his attending doctor walk in through the door.


    He suddenly burst into a bitter smile, and now both sides were blocked, making it impossible to run.


    The doctor pointed at him with a look of hatred that turned iron into steel. "You, you, wait for the visiting family to leave, let''s talk alone


    Visiting family members


    Before Li Huowang could react, he saw his haggard mother hurriedly leading oranges in from outside.


    I heard you had a fight with someone in the hospital? What''s wrong with your head? Why is it wrapped up like this? Does it hurt? "The woman rushed up and looked nervously.


    Mom, it doesn''t hurt. I''m fine, I''m really fine. It''s them who are in trouble, "Li Huowang quickly comforted.


    After appeasing for a while, Li Huowang finally didn''t let his mother''s tears fall.


    In front of one''s closest relatives, no matter where the trouble is, it''s time to put it back.


    Don''t worry, I''m fine. My illness is much better, and I haven''t finished my homework. I''ll be able to take the college entrance examination when I''m discharged, "Li Huowang said as much as possible.


    Don''t hide it, the doctor told me everything. Tell me, what exactly happened that day? Who moved the hand first


    Li Huowang tried his best to ease his tone and told his mother, but it didn''t seem to ease much.


    We are reasonable in what we do, what can we compensate for!! It''s their fault, even if they are sick, it''s also the responsibility of the hospital to take care of them! Our family never bullies people, but we absolutely cannot let others bully us! We have the ability to sue! In court, we are also reasonable!! "Excited Sun Xiaoqin pounded the table.


    Looking at the doctor who was awkwardly touching his nose, Li Huowang continued to soothe him. Mom, Mom, don''t get excited. If you''re not easy to come, please accompany me


    Sun Xiaoqin suppressed her anger and bent down to take out the fruit from the bag. Don''t worry about this matter, Mom will take care of it. Here, this is your favorite milk Bodhi. Eat more. You see how thin you have become. The hospital food is not good, right


    No, the hospital food is still very good, "Li Huowang sat next to his mother and ate.


    Listening to his mother''s complaints and eating sweet grapes, Li Huowang''s heart calmed down.


    He likes this feeling, and it has been a long time since he entered the hospital that he has not experienced the warmth of his family.


    Looking at his mother, Li Huowang seemed to be about to say everything that had happened to him, but when the words reached his lips, he put them back.


    No, she''s different from Yang Na. If she does, she will only think that her condition has worsened and can''t let her worry anymore. Let her know when everything stabilizes.


    Just as the two mothers and children were chatting happily, the attending physician''s phone rang and said, "Ms. Sun, the family of Patient Liu has also arrived. Look,"


    Son, stay calm and eat more. I''ll buy it for you after finishing


    Sun Xiaoqin spoke pleasantly to Li Huowang and straightened her chest, then turned around like a rooster about to duel and walked towards the door.


    I don''t know why, seeing her leaving behind made Li Huowang feel extremely relieved.


    Although her mother was strong, as long as she stayed by her side, Li Huowang felt very relieved. She was like a big umbrella covering her head to shield herself from the wind and rain, and the anxiety caused by all the previous troubles disappeared at this moment.


    Hehe, the waiting hall must be very lively. "Li Huowang picked a yellow and green grape and put it into his mouth to bite open, and the sweet juice exploded in his mouth.


    When Li Huowang first thought about it, his body suddenly shook, and everything around him began to change color again. Oh, my mom came over and made me forget how to deceive the head of a leper. What should I do now


    When everything around him stabilized again, Li Huowang saw himself standing in the material room, and Danyangzi stood not far away with a bad expression on his face. Other medicinal guides hang their heads low in a circle.


    Danyangzi''s filthy right hand flipped over, and a thick and wriggling black thing appeared in his hand, with every twist making the sound of a toad licking its eyeballs.


    Hmm? Isn''t it using Bai Lingmiao to refine pills? Is this a flipped chapter


    After a brief hesitation for a second, Li Huowang spoke up and asked, "Master, what is this


    Humph, good thing, Tai Sui, Hei Tai Sui

 Chapter 9 the Black Grandmaster

    "The Grandmaster, the Black Grandmaster," Dan Yangzi''s cold voice resounded in the small storage room.


    Li Huowang raised his head slightly and glanced once again at the disgusting object in his hand.


    Upon careful examination, he discovered that this object seemed to bear some resemblance to the contents of the Black Cauldron. No, the object in his hand was the very thing that devoured people inside the Black Cauldron.


    "Is this thing called the Black Grandmaster? Could it be that he plans to use this thing to refine elixirs? His taste is truly heavy," thought Li Huowang to himself.


    With a flick of Dan Yangzi''s wrist, the squirming Black Grandmaster flew through the air in an arc and landed directly on his face.


    The sticky and soft touch made Li Huowang''s scalp tingle, and his legs trembled as he continuously retreated.


    Staring at the Black Grandmaster that had fallen onto the ground, covered in dust, Li Huowang looked up at Dan Yangzi in confusion, not understanding what he meant.


    "This is your reward. Pick it up and swallow it. You used to be a medicine boy and it didn''t matter, but now that you''re my disciple, you can''t act so casually. It can suppress your hysteria."


    Li Huowang seemed to not understand what he was saying, and he didn''t want to understand. His complexion turned pale, and he kept backing away. "I won''t eat it! I''m not sick!"


    "You won''t eat it? Hmph, you don''t have a choice. Changming, Changren!"


    Dan Yangzi raised his chin slightly, and two Daoists carrying swords quickly approached Li Huowang, each grabbing one of his arms.


    Then, with a wave of Dan Yangzi''s right hand, the Black Grandmaster, which had been wriggling towards the corner of the wall, flew straight into his hand.


    As Li Huowang saw Dan Yangzi approaching him with that disgusting object in his hand, his body began to tremble uncontrollably, feeling a bone-chilling coldness from head to toe.


    He instinctively wanted to struggle and escape, but the hands of the two senior brothers beside him held his shoulders firmly like iron chains.


    Fortunately, he still had one last resort. With rapid breaths and his chest heaving dramatically, the terrified Li Huowang clenched his teeth, closed his eyes tightly, and used all his strength to contract his body toward the center.


    "Huowang? Huowang! What''s wrong? Are you in pain?" Yang Na''s gentle voice sounded like music to Li Huowang''s ears.


    He opened his eyes and saw the girl in front of him wearing a high-necked white sweater. In his current state, he immediately rushed towards her, clinging to her tightly as if grasping at a lifeline.


    Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.


    A blush appeared on the young girl''s cheeks, and she struggled while speaking softly, "Huowang, please let go of me, my mother is watching."


    Li Huowang glanced at his mother, who was standing next to the attending doctor, smiling with the demeanor of an aunt. "Oh, my son is amazing."


    As Li Huowang looked at the clean and tidy hospital room, the bright sunlight outside the window, and his beloved family, his heart gradually calmed down.


    The attending doctor, pushing up his glasses, approached with a slight frown. "Xiao Li, what did you see in your hallucination just now? Your emotional fluctuations were quite intense. What has been happening recently? Have you been following my instructions?"


    Thinking about what had just happened, Li Huowang''s heart tightened. He anxiously said to his attending doctor, "Doctor, is there any medicine that can temporarily suppress these hallucinations? I can''t take it anymore. I want to rest for a while."


    "Alright, I''ll prescribe some fluoxetine and diazepam for you. But Xiao Li, medication can only provide auxiliary support. To completely eliminate the hallucinations, you still need to follow my methods." The doctor finished speaking and used his tablet to write the prescription.


    When Li Huowang saw the nurse bring over several blue capsules, he rushed forward and swallowed them without even bothering to drink water.


    The capsules had a sticky and sandy texture, making them unpleasant to consume, but he forced himself to swallow them down.


    "Xiao Li, tell me, what scared you in the hallucination just now?"


    With the medication in his system, Li Huowang felt much more relaxed. He smiled and replied, "I didn''t encounter anything. It''s just that the guy over there spoke in a strange tone, as if he was saying that this side is reality and our side is an illusion. Hahaha."


    As soon as these words were spoken, the air around them grew silent, and the vibrant colors faded away, leaving the surroundings dim and lifeless. Yang Na, her mother, the attending doctor, and the nurse were all frozen in place.


    Feeling the sudden change, Li Huowang''s body began to tremble, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He helplessly looked outside the window. The sunny sky had become pitch black, and the safe and peaceful environment had vanished.


    Fear enveloped him like a tangible force, overwhelming all of his emotions. With panic coursing through him, Li Huowang instinctively grabbed Yang Na and rushed toward his mother''s embrace.


    But as soon as he made contact with his mother, her body burst like a bubble, and his mother, who had always been there to shield him from the world, disappeared.


    "Huowang..." Li Huowang''s body trembled violently, and he turned around to see Yang Na''s figure completely fading before his eyes. His only love had disappeared.


    At this moment, all the positive and beautiful things that Li Huowang had cherished were gone, leaving him with only despair, repression, and pain.


    Watching his disciple trembling and retching on the ground, Dan Yangzi, with his hands behind his back, shook his head and walked toward the door of the storage room.


    "Tsk tsk tsk, claiming not to have hysteria when it has reached this point? Among all the medicine boys in the storage room, you are the most severely affected. Do you think I randomly chose a medicine boy before?"


    "Alright, now that your hysteria is gone, you can work properly. Remember, the Qingfeng Hall doesn''t harbor idle people. Come to me to receive medication on the first day of each month."


    Having said that, Dan Yangzi''s other disciples followed him as they left. The storage room was left with Li Huowang on the floor and the other medicine boys surrounding him.


    The medicine boys, with their peculiar appearances and various congenital or acquired illnesses, looked at each other, unsure of what to do.


    Half an incense stick later, the Black Grandmaster in Li Huowang''s mouth finally slid down. His anguished cries echoed in the cave.


    "Why! Why did I end up in this hellish place! Won''t this illness leave me alone!"

 Chapter 10: Mantou (Steamed Bun)

    Li Huowang curled up in a corner of the storage room, motionless and withdrawn, like an unborn baby.


    The other apprentices dared not disturb or bother him, quietly going about their own tasks.


    Unbeknownst to them, night had silently descended. The oil lamps on the walls had all gone out, leaving the darkness to envelop Li Huowang like a blanket.


    He lay there like a corpse, unresponsive to the changes in the outside world.


    In the middle of the night, a faint candlelight flickered to life at the door, illuminating the nearby shelves and dispelling the darkness shrouding Li Huowang.


    Timid Bai Lingmiao approached him, carrying a bundle of dried grass, and carefully laid it over him.


    Then, she took out a piece of steamed bun from her pocket and placed it near his lips.


    Seeing that Li Huowang remained motionless, she pursed her lips and gently nudged him. "Senior Brother, please eat something. You haven''t eaten anything all day."


    Li Huowang''s eyes were open, staring numbly at the cold ground without moving towards Bai Lingmiao.


    Bai Lingmiao thought about leaving, but after hesitating for a moment, she ultimately took out a jade pendant from her pocket and placed it beside Li Huowang.


    "Senior Brother, this is yours. Take it back."


    This time, Li Huowang finally reacted. He looked at the object and realized it was the round jade pendant he had stolen from the previous Xuan Yang. Li Huowang remembered giving it to Yang Na to exchange for money. The thought of Yang Na made his wounded heart ache again. "How did this end up with you?"


    "It... Senior Brother, you gave it to me. I said I didn''t want it, but you insisted on giving it to me."


    Li Huowang slowly sat up, carefully examining the cloud-patterned round jade pendant under the dim light of the candle.


    At that moment, everything felt incredibly real to him. But within this reality, there was only despair and pain.


    If he had a choice, how much he wished to remain trapped in that beautiful illusion.


    Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Seeing Li Huowang''s response, Bai Lingmiao softly asked, "Senior Brother, where were you captured by our master? I am from Liang Kingdom, where are you from?"


    Li Huowang hesitated for a moment before shaking his head dejectedly. "I don''t know."


    He truly didn''t know. He had memories of the past, but after what happened during the day, Li Huowang couldn''t discern how much of those memories were real and how much were illusions.


    Even now, he felt like a madman, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion.


    As he shook his head, Li Huowang suddenly felt something strange on his head. He touched it and realized his hair was matted with dried blood from his previous injury.


    Seeing him touch his head, Bai Lingmiao explained, "That was done by Senior Brother Wang."


    Li Huowang knew the person she referred to was the fat guy with rabbit lips who had tried to harm Bai Lingmiao. "What happened to him?"


    "You... you kicked him to death."


    Hearing this, images of kicking Old Liu''s head off in his hallucination flashed through Li Huowang''s mind. He lowered his head and chuckled silently. He truly was insane.


    Li Huowang reached into his pocket and pulled out an anklet wrapped in red thread, offering it to Bai Lingmiao. "This is yours. Take it back."


    Bai Lingmiao looked at her anklet and pushed it back with her palms together. "Senior Brother, you were right before. This item is of no use here. You keep it."


    Li Huowang stared at the golden anklet, but it was useless to him now. He had lost everything he cared about.


    "Well, Senior Brother Li, mighty noble!" a male voice suddenly chimed in from outside the storage room, startling both individuals inside.


    As the candlelight illuminated the person, they saw a face with a mischievous grin and pointed features, yellow and white patches on the skin resembling vitiligo.


    This person presented two steamed buns, placing them beside Li Huowang in an attempt to ingratiate himself.


    "Hehehe, enjoy the buns, Senior Brother Li. I knew you hadn''t eaten dinner, so I saved two for you."


    "You probably don''t know my name, I''m a naturally born genius, no need for a formal name. Just call me Guowa, hehehe. Just yesterday, I even gave you seventeen copper coins as a tribute."


    Guowa fidgeted nervously, rubbing his hands together, clearly seeking Li Huowang''s favor to avoid being sent to become a medicinal ingredient. Clever people can be found anywhere.


    Li Huowang said nothing, grabbing the three slightly hardened steamed buns and devouring them hungrily. He had been hungry all day.


    Eating too fast, he choked on a piece of bun, and Guowa quickly ran out to fetch him a cup of water.


    As the cold water washed down his throat, Li Huowang stuffed the three steamed buns into his stomach. He had been hungry all day.


    He swayed as he struggled to stand up; lying on the ground for so long had numbed his legs.


    Bai Lingmiao reached out to help, but Li Huowang pushed her away.


    His gaze fixated on the pitch-black exit of the storage room, Li Huowang staggered out.


    His enemy was no longer his sudden ailment; his enemy had transformed into the leprous Taoist Da Yangzi, who used people to concoct elixirs.


    As Da Yangzi''s ugly and disgusting face appeared in his mind, a thick aura of murderous intent started emanating from Li Huowang. His teeth began grinding loudly.


    Just moments ago, he had been resigned to his fate, but now he was filled with determination. The only thing he had to do was find a way to kill him!

    The rhythmic chanting of scriptures echoed in the spacious cave, and all six disciples of the Qingfeng Temple, including Li Huowang, were sitting on the futuan, following their master to morning classes.


    There were no scriptures in front of everyone, and Li Huowang could only vaguely recite the content of the morning class after his senior brothers.


    While reciting the scriptures, Li Huowang looked up and his gaze focused on Danyangzi, who was sitting at the front. As soon as the fierce energy in his eyes appeared, it quickly suppressed.


    For this disgusting guy, he now wants to eat his meat and peel his skin, but Li Huowang knows that he is too weak and not his opponent at all.


    The opponent is powerful, and he cannot be reckless. The most important thing for himself now is to hold back and secretly seek opportunities.


    This may be difficult, and perhaps Danyangzi will find out that he died tragically, but Li Huowang doesn''t care about anything anymore.


    When Li Huowang saw Danyangzi leaning slightly, his gaze quickly moved upwards, crossing the three pillars of Gao Xiang and looking at the three deities placed inside the hollowed out rock wall.


    The three gods with different appearances, dressed in yellow Taoist robes and embracing floating dust, gazed at the small mortal below with neither sadness nor joy in their eyes.


    They don''t have any fairy like appearance on their bodies, but rather have an ordinary appearance. If it weren''t for the Taoist robes on their bodies, they would only look like three large ordinary people.


    Li Huowang certainly doesn''t know who these three deities are, but he deeply remembers their appearances in his mind.


    At this moment, the chanting of the scriptures began to slow down, and when the last small paragraph of the scripture blurted out, the boy beside him pounded three times on the red drum, ending the morning class.


    All the disciples followed Danyangzi to stand up, while gripping the thumb of their left hand with their right hand. The four fingers of their left hand were placed on top of the fingers of their right hand, and they raised their hands above their heads to salute the statue.


    After finishing the ceremony, Danyangzi slowly turned around and looked at the disciple behind him.


    When he saw Li Huowang, dressed in a Taoist robe, standing calmly at the end of the crowd, he nodded with satisfaction.


    If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.


    Xuanyuan, Xuanyang has just joined our sect and there must be many things he doesn''t understand. As a senior brother, teach him


    Yes, master. "A middle-aged man with a round face and a slightly chubby expression saluted Danyangzi.


    Alright, after Mao, there''s nothing more to do. Let''s all go eat, "said Danyangzi, carrying his hands behind his back and walking towards the nearby cave entrance.


    A young man wearing a mixed yuan scarf with a gloomy expression followed him out.


    That''s Senior Brother Zhengkun. Since Senior Brother Zhengkan Zhengzhen defected, he has been the only disciple of the master''s inner sect. If you meet him in the temple in the future, remember to respect him. He is not as good tempered as the master


    Xuanyuan walked up to Li Huowang and explained the person''s background to him.


    Li Huowang nodded and said, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xuanyuan, for resolving your doubts. Does he also have the same divine power as his master


    I don''t know anything else, but Li Huowang knows that Danyangzi has the ability to handle objects with one hand, and his strength is amazing, he can lift a stone urn weighing hundreds of pounds.


    These are not the most taboo things yet. What Li Huowang is most afraid of is knowing everything that happens inside the cave, whether it''s when he says he''s a fart or when he didn''t promise to escape together before.


    If you really want to deal with him, this must be clarified.


    He is an inner disciple, I don''t know what he has learned from his master, "Li Huowang noticed the jealousy in his words.


    A person''s strength is too weak, should I find other allies in the Qingfeng Temple? "Li Huowang had a thought in his heart, but it quickly extinguished.


    People with a rebellious spirit may have been eaten by Black Taisui the previous time, and now the remaining ones, even if not completely devoted to Danyangzi, are probably cowardly and cowardly.


    Let''s go, let''s talk as we go, "Xuanyuan said, turning around and taking Li Huowang towards the kitchen. I know what you''re thinking. Don''t worry about the master''s immortal cultivation technique. You''re the last one to take turns from above


    As for you, just rest assured to do your work. Whatever the master instructs you to do, you can do it. When the seniority ranking comes, it will naturally be your turn


    At this time, they had arrived at the cave where they had dinner, and other elder martial brothers who had arrived earlier had begun to drink Congee.


    Three of them he knew, two Taoist priests carrying long swords were Changming Changren, and there was also a Xuanyin who had a previous meeting.


    In addition to Xuanyuan on the side and his own Xuanyang, the five named disciples of Qingfeng Temple are now gathered here.


    "The rules of the Breeze Temple are not to eat, sleep or speak. I''ll teach you something else after dinner." Xuanyuan sat down to drink Congee together.


    Li Huowang sat down and took a sip of the black pottery bowl, silently observing the behavior of the other senior brothers.


    These people have different appearances, and their appearance is not too prominent or ugly. Sitting together in Taoist robes, Li Huowang always felt a bit strange.


    When he saw Xuanyin pressing the side of his nose and blowing his nose at the ground, while the other two elder martial brothers frowned slightly, Li Huowang finally responded. Their temperament was different.


    Some of these people are more bookish, while others have thick joints in their hands and feet that look like they are doing rough work.


    Where did Danyangzi find these five disciples? Aren''t they brought up from Yaoyin like me


    Empty bowls were put down one by one, but the other senior brothers didn''t glance at the new Xuanyang junior brother and strode towards the door.


    After finishing the meal, Xuanyuan and Li Huowang continued to introduce themselves in the Qingfeng Temple. They learned from them that the five named disciples were responsible for different positions in the Taoist Temple.


    Some are responsible for managing Daotong, some are responsible for sightseeing and procurement, some are responsible for raising Hei Taisui, and even senior individuals hold multiple positions.


    I wasn''t so busy originally, but unfortunately, after a group of people died before, their responsibilities could only be forced to be assigned to the remaining disciples.


    Of course, Li Huowang''s responsibility goes without saying. He is responsible for everything in the material room, and everything they disciples do is to assist their master in becoming an immortal.


    After wandering around like this all day, Li Huowang finally gained a detailed understanding of the entire Taoist temple from Xuanyuan.


    Li Huowang firmly remembers these things in his heart, and this is no longer an illusion of leaving at any time. Whether he can kill Danyangzi or not, this information may be of great use.


    After a day together, the relationship between Xuanyuan and Li Huowang was slightly lively, and the two were walking back from the main hall.


    Brother Xuanyang, there''s actually no need to be so nervous. Your work won''t be so busy, and the master doesn''t refine pills every day


    Oh? Please ask Senior Brother Xuanyuan to clarify


    The matter of alchemy is closely related to the astronomical timing. Some elixirs must have a fixed timing in order to exert their maximum effect. For example, today and tomorrow are not suitable for alchemy, but the afterlife is a very good day.

 Chapter 12 Danfang

    Oh, I didn''t understand even after I told you, but the secrets are very complicated. Follow the master to watch and learn


    Oh, I see. "Li Huowang, who pretended to be thinking, was thinking about something else at the moment.


    The pill that Danyangzi gave himself is clearly useful, which also means that the laws of this world are completely different from his own.


    If he wants to deal with Danyangzi, he still needs to know more about this unfamiliar world.


    The cultivators in the novel? No, there''s no cultivator who uses humans to refine alchemy? There''s no cultivator who even enslaves mortals to help them become immortals


    And according to convention, shouldn''t an ordinary cultivator send me a foundational skill book? Why not


    As Li Huowang became more familiar with this place, he realized that this Taoist temple became even more peculiar, completely lacking the appearance of a cultivator in his previous concept.


    By the way, Senior Brother Xuanyang, I''ll teach you how to be good. You''d better prepare everything properly before the master speaks up


    Just like yesterday''s pill, if you missed the hour due to your hysteria attack, and if you send the medicine guide ahead of the time of the future, wouldn''t it be like apologizing to the master


    Don''t look at the master''s moods, but as long as you make him happy, it will naturally benefit you


    Yesterday''s elixir? "Li Huowang was stunned for a moment.


    That''s right, why, did you forget? What did the master ask you to send yesterday


    Bai Bai Lingmiao. "Li Huowang''s pupils instantly narrowed to a very small size. So many things have happened before, but this matter is not over yet,


    If she hadn''t figured out a way before the day after tomorrow, that albino girl would have been like all the previous potions, hanging into flesh and mud!


    Li Huowang didn''t know how to return to his own residence. He lay on his stone bed, with the gold foot ring wrapped in red thread pressing against his chest like a burning iron block, urging him to come up with a way.


    But now there is a huge difference in strength between Danyangzi and Li Huowang, and the entire Taoist temple is filled with his people.


    The previous lessons of those deceased senior brothers also indicate that blind escape is useless.


    Amidst tossing and turning, the night passed.


    On the eve of morning class, Li Huowang put on his clothes and walked towards the outside of the cave.


    Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.


    He wants to go to Dan''s room and find out if there are any other ways.


    As soon as he walked out holding an oil lamp, a pointed face emerged from the darkness, which startled Li Huowang. It was the face of a Gowa.


    Hehe hehe, Senior Brother Li, there''s nothing wrong. I''m just worried that you didn''t come to the material room all day yesterday. I''ll come and see you


    Is Bai Shimei okay? "Li Huowang took a step back and asked.


    It''s okay. You personally spoke up and asked Bai Shimei to take over the material room. Who dares not to obey? Hehe hehe, Senior Brother Li is really skilled. Look, since you took charge of the material room, you haven''t taken anyone away yet


    Upon hearing Gowardesh say this, Li Huowang felt very agitated in his heart. He used an oil lamp to turn on this guy and strode out.


    When Li Huowang arrived at the alchemy room, he found that some early risers had already started cleaning the alchemy stove and floor with linen cloth.


    A boy stood inside the stone wall, holding a pig hair brush and vigorously brushing the remaining meat foam on the stone wall.


    As a disciple of Danyangzi, he entered the alchemy room and naturally no one dared to say anything.


    Li Huowang pretended to walk around casually, and his gaze began to carefully observe the surroundings.


    The entire alchemy room is very simple, except for the huge black alchemy stove that occupies one-third of the space, there is only one stone urn and rod that Danyangzi uses to smash people.


    Not to mention books on alchemy, there aren''t even any calligraphy or paintings on the wall, and the entire room is very spacious, with no shelter.


    What are you looking at? "A familiar but chilling voice suddenly rang out behind him.


    Li Huowang turned around and looked at the person, quickly bowing with both hands. Master


    What are you looking at


    Li Huowang quickly thought for a second and immediately came up with a reason. The disciple looked at the master''s alchemy skills, so he admired them and thought about when he could reach that level


    Danyangzi is very satisfied with Li Huowang''s attitude change, it seems that this little guy has completely figured it out.


    He carried his hands behind him, spinning around the black alchemy furnace. Having ambition is a good thing, but it''s not that the Taoist priest doesn''t teach you, but that the way of external alchemy is not that simple


    It''s okay to say ordinary pills, but if you want to become an immortal through the elixir, you must refine both the external and internal pills together. Our master has been refining them until now, but it has taken a lot of effort


    Danyangzi''s face showed a hint of pride and excitement, as if he was enjoying his life as a fairy queen.


    Master, are you about to become an immortal


    As soon as Li Huowang said this, the expression on Danyangzi''s face retracted and he said, "The matter of becoming an immortal is not that simple. The journey is long, but I am sure that the Taoist can become an immortal. Do you know why


    I don''t know


    Danyangzi''s expression became somewhat agitated. Because the way to become an immortal was written in the Heavenly Book of the Lord, and it was personally delivered to me by the Lord. May I ask who else in the world can become an immortal? He said I can become an immortal. I am sure I can become an immortal


    Master? Who is this? One of the three deities? "Li Huowang couldn''t understand this mythological description.


    Although I didn''t understand at all, Li Huowang still flattered and said, "Master, what you said is extremely true. You will definitely become an immortal and live the same life as heaven and earth


    Danyangzi was clearly very happy to hear this, and his ugly face burst into laughter.


    "Hahaha, good, good. Since you want to learn how to refine pills, I''ll teach you a simple formula of blood moistening pills first, and you can write it down. Red pills are 12 liang, fragrant aconite is half a jin, and Actinolite is 24 liang."


    Although Li Huowang inexplicably had unexpected gains, he certainly wouldn''t say no.


    I quickly wanted to write it down with pen and ink, but when I looked around, there was no pen or ink in the entire elixir.


    In a hurry, he found a piece of charcoal under the elixir and simply recorded it on the hem of his Taoist robe.


    At the third quarter of the hour of ugliness, the stove is lit up and bathed; with eyes still shining, boasting with breath, fumigating with gods, and slowly nurturing with gentle fire. At the fourth quarter of the hour of ugliness, the stove is opened


    Take this elixir and practice it slowly. Taoist, let''s take a look at your talent first


    Li Huowang threw away the charcoal in his hand and held it in his hands before Danyangzi. Master, do you remember any omissions from the disciples


    When the hem filled with charcoal characters appeared in front of him, Danyangzi''s face, which had just been smiling and smiling, suddenly turned cloudy and sunny.


    With a lift of his right foot, he kicked Li Huowang straight out, hitting the furnace with a buzzing sound, and then falling heavily to the ground.


    Danyangzi left with a black face and cursed his back, leaving Li Huowang in place.


    When the emotional anger in his heart gradually dissipated, Li Huowang felt that this matter was very strange and he had not done anything. Why did he suddenly adopt this attitude?


    Li Huowang looked down at the Danfang in his hand and pondered. Although his handwriting was unsightly, it was clearly recognizable.


    Suddenly, Li Huowang thought of something. He looked around at the alchemy room without any calligraphy or painting decorations, and then remembered that during morning classes, no one had any scriptures.


    A sudden thought popped up in Li Huowang''s mind, "Is it possible to say that this leprosy is illiterate and he cannot read.

 Chapter 13 Alchemy

    Li Huowang carefully looked at the small alchemy stove in front of him, with three pillars of incense standing next to it for timing.


    In this environment without an alarm clock, Li Huowang can only rely on this rudimentary method to calculate time.


    When the last stick of incense was completely burned out, he immediately extinguished the fire and opened the Danmen. A smell mixed with a unique herbal aroma floated out from inside.


    Li Huowang was overjoyed and refined. The prepared elixir material kept shaking in a sieve, and when all the useless and ashy elixir residue was sieved out, there were only some black elixirs of all sizes left in the box.


    These pills are the nourishing blood pills in Danyangzi''s mouth, which are very simple pills used to stop bleeding.


    Do not eat more than one or two at a time, otherwise there is a risk of complete coagulation of the whole body''s blood.


    It sounds like a chicken rib, and using it to harm others may be better than treating them,


    But because this pill is the simplest, Danyangzi will be used for Li Huowang''s hand refining.


    After careful counting, Li Huowang finally obtained thirteen large nourishing blood pills and twenty-six small nourishing blood pills.


    Li Huowang''s gains were not only limited to these, but he also learned some basic knowledge of alchemy through the process of refining Runxue Dan.


    Refining pills is far more difficult than he imagined, except for differences in time, and even herbs growing in different directions need to be carefully distinguished.


    As long as one of the mistakes is made, the efficacy of the pill and its success rate will be vastly different, as evidenced by the pile of burnt waste next to it.


    Li Huowang took out a small bamboo tube and collected all these pills. Then, he took a deep breath, put on his side robe, and walked towards the door. Time is almost up, it''s almost time


    When Li Huowang reached out and pushed open the door of the material room, everyone who was working stood up in unison, looking at him in fear.


    In the eyes of others, he is now the living King of Hell


    Li Huowang looked at them with a complex expression, walked past them under the gaze of everyone, and finally arrived in front of Bai Lingmiao.


    The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement.


    The girl''s white hair trembled along with her body, and she tried to resist crying, but in the end, she couldn''t hold back. Tears flowed from her pale pink pupils, which are characteristic of albinism.


    Li Huowang, with a solemn expression, reached out and grabbed her hand, leaving the material room and walking towards the alchemy room.


    Inside the wet cave tunnel, Bai Lingmiao sobbed his last words to Li Huowang.


    Li Huowang listened in silence without saying anything. When he specifically came to his residence outside, his body turned and pulled her into the room. Take off your pants


    Bai Lingmiao''s eyes froze in place, as if frightened by the other party''s actions.


    Three moments before midnight, Li Huowang and Bai Lingmiao arrived at the Pill Pharmacy, and at this time, Danyangzi had just arrived.


    When he saw that Li Huowang didn''t need to command himself, he brought the medicine to guide him in advance. A hint of satisfaction appeared on Dan Yangzi''s face, and he looked at the youngest disciple slightly more pleasing.


    Hehe, good disciple, come here. "As Danyangzi casually called, Bai Lingmiao flew over and was grabbed by his neck and thrown into the other person''s stone urn.


    Upon seeing this scene, Li Huowang''s heart pounded and his hands clenched tightly.


    As he watched the hundreds of pounds of pestering stone stick about to hit him downwards, Danyangzi suddenly stopped.


    Hey, why did it happen to turn red at this time? The medicinal properties have all changed, "said Danyangzi, frowning slightly at Bai Lingmiao''s bleeding pants.


    Seeing this scene, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief and his plan was successful.


    After Li Huowang learned about the alchemy of this world, he found a way to break the situation.


    Since the medicinal properties of other gold, stone, grass, and trees are so diverse, the human medicinal guidance will also change.


    Moreover, in his impression, the blushing of Taoist women was something unclean, causing Bai Lingmiao to pretend to have menstruated, which was his response.


    And in order to avoid suspicion from the other party, this kind of thing cannot be said by others, and must be discovered by Danyangzi himself.


    Now it seems that his goal has been achieved, and Bai Lingmiao''s life has been saved.


    With a wave of Danyangzi''s broad Taoist robe, Bai Lingmiao from within Shiweng flew out and fell heavily to the ground.


    This fall was very heavy, and Bai Lingmiao only covered his knee and climbed up for a while. However, Li Huowang couldn''t help, and he could only watch coldly from the side.


    Xuanyang, bring back the materials here. "Upon hearing Danyangzi''s words, Li Huowang was completely relieved and respectfully saluted Danyangzi." Yes, sir


    When Bai Lingmiao walked up to him, Li Huowang realized that the other person''s head seemed to have been cut open, and bright red blood flowed down her cheeks.


    Even so, Bai Lingmiao still expressed gratitude to Li Huowang. In the face of death, suffering such a small sin is no longer a big deal.


    Anyway, I managed to muddle through one level, and next time it''s probably Bai Lingmiao''s turn, it''ll take a long time. "Li Huowang led Bai Lingmiao towards the door.


    But just as they were about to step out of the huge black shadow of the furnace, Danyangzi''s light words sounded from behind.


    Xuanyang, since this medicinal guide is not effective, you can bring another one over. I remember there is still one of these white medicinal guides. Go and return quickly, don''t miss the time


    This made Li Huowang''s body tremble slightly, and then he turned around and bowed respectfully to Danyangzi again. Yes, master


    Li Huowang didn''t know how he got to the material room, so he could only walk numbly to another albino man and reach out to pull him out.


    The other party was crying in despair, kneeling on the ground and constantly kowtowing to themselves to spare their lives. But Li Huowang couldn''t do anything at this moment. He can only personally send this person to the alchemy room.


    Trembling, Li Huowang turned around and was about to leave when he was stopped by Danyangzi. "Aren''t you longing for the way to refine pills? Come here and take a closer look. This complex and rare pill refining is not available anywhere else


    Li Huowang walked over and watched carefully, listening to Danyangzi''s words about when to add what ingredients and how much fire to add. Just like a studious child observing the entire process of alchemy.


    When the flame under the elixir extinguished, the alchemy furnace opened, and seven already formed black elixirs lined up in front of Danyangzi.


    Not bad, not bad, you are very talented. Other disciples are not as eager to learn as you are. Come on, master will reward you. "Danyangzi took out a grain from his palm.


    Thank you, Master! "Li Huowang cautiously saluted Danyangzi, holding the pill with trembling hands.

 Chapter 14 Helpers

    As soon as Li Huowang took this pill, he felt as if the Dantian had a warm and warm fire, and the fire had a tendency to become more and more intense.


    He couldn''t even pay attention to the nausea and nausea that welled up inside.


    Xuanyang, go back and rest. This medicine is very powerful, and it will take a while to fully absorb it


    Yes, master


    Li Huowang, who stumbled back to his residence, held onto the door frame and vomited heavily, but he could only vomit some clear water. The entire pill has already been fully absorbed.


    Click, click, click. "Li Huowang''s joints creaked all over his body, and his body involuntarily twitched.


    At this moment, his Dantian''s fire had already spread along the veins to his limbs. Now he is like wearing a big cotton jacket in the summer, and his whole body seems to be cooked.


    The heat also made his mind drowsy. Li Huowang lay on the bed, looking at the constantly rotating roof above, thinking of everything that had just happened, and recalling the fearful and desperate gaze of everyone in the material room.


    I became Danyangzi''s disgusting accomplice, forcing others to do what they did to me.


    The other party may not be able to read, but they are not stupid. In the face of absolute strength, everything one does is meaningless.


    I must kill him, I must find a way to kill him!! "Li Huowang roared crazily in his heart.


    His right hand unconsciously grasped the edge of the stone bed, and as the last sentence shouted out in his heart, the veins on the back of his hand erupted.


    With a "click" sound, a hard stone bed was torn off by him.


    This change caught Li Huowang off guard. He looked at his own hand and then caught a stone in his grasp. Immediately react, this is the effect of the pill.


    Not only in terms of strength, but also in other aspects, Li Huowang even felt that his eyes could see further. That pill gave Li Huowang a feeling of rebirth.


    After thinking about how this ability was acquired, Li Huowang felt disgusted again.


    Senior Brother Li? Are you okay? "Bai Lingmiao cautiously leaned out of the door.


    Li Huowang looked up at her with a complex expression, unsure of what to say for a moment.


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    Bai Lingmiao took a step forward and said, "Senior Brother Li, you don''t have to blame yourself. We all know that you can''t help it. If... I mean, if Master asks me to go again, you don''t have to switch to someone else. Anyway, everyone''s fate is the same


    Li Huowang didn''t want to talk to her about this. Looking at her bleeding forehead, he took out the previously refined pill and handed it over. "Take it, it can stop bleeding


    Bai Lingmiao saw the elixir in Li Huowang''s hand, but shook her head vigorously in fear. I don''t take pills, absolutely not pills


    Li Huowang chuckled a few times and casually threw the pill on the ground. "Yes, it''s three parts poisonous. It''s really not good to take it


    Bai Lingmiao bit his lips and after thinking for a while, asked Li Huowang, "Senior Brother Li, are you trying to deal with the master


    Li Huowang''s face changed and he nervously looked towards the door, rushing over to close it.


    It''s okay, master can''t hear us now. Master relies on "Master You" to keep an eye on us. Every time at the beginning of the big market, "You Lao Ye" always goes back to the market


    What is Mr. You? "Li Huowang asked in confusion, as this was the first time he had heard the word.


    Master You is Master You. It cannot be seen or touched. I have heard from my master that only experts with moral principles can command them


    Oh? "Li Huowang felt a movement in his heart, keeping this point in mind. This information was crucial to himself.


    When is the time to catch the big episode


    Upon hearing this, Bai Lingmiao looked at him in disbelief and said, "On the 15th day of the first day of the lunar new year, rush to the big market. Senior Brother Li, why don''t you even know this? Didn''t your parents take you to the market


    Li Huowang shook his head, and the memories in his mind, whether real or unreal, proved that he had only lived in the city before and had never participated in rural material exchange conferences such as market gatherings.


    Senior Brother Li, let''s get back to business. Are you really trying to deal with the master


    Li Huowang''s expression froze. Of course, I wish I could eat his meat and drink his blood


    Bai Lingmiao took a deep breath and nodded forcefully, "Senior Brother, let me count you as one. I also want to help with such things


    Li Huowang looked at the girl in front of him, as well as her firm gaze. Bai Lingmiao may not be as weak as he imagined.


    Okay, I''ll count you in, "Li Huowang agreed, saying that he really needed help now.


    After careful consideration for a while, Li Huowang looked at her with a serious expression and said, "We are not enough. You go to the material room first and look for anyone else who is dissatisfied


    Others may not dare to resist Danyangzi, but the medicinal herbs in the storeroom are destined to die, and there must be some who are unwilling. This is a fundamental contradiction, and these people must have their own targets to fight for.


    Hmm. "Bai Lingmiao nodded and turned to leave.


    After sitting for a while, Li Huowang picked up the round jade pendant tied to his waist, and he remembered the senior brother who had failed to escape.


    Xuanyang, Xuanyang, did your group of people gather like this in the past? I hope I won''t end up like you


    During the following period, Li Huowang began to fully integrate into the entire Qingfeng Temple, organizing the material room in an orderly manner, whether it was people or objects.


    Faced with such an ascetic disciple, Danyangzi naturally wanted to be rewarded, and all kinds of basic pills were told to him, as if he had truly cultivated him as a disciple.


    These ordinary pills are not very effective, and at most, Li Huowang can treat minor typhoid fever and external injuries.


    Moreover, Li Huowang doesn''t know whether it''s Danyangzi pill or all the pills in this world. Pills have a certain degree of tolerance, and if consumed too much, they can become harmful when treating illnesses.


    And there is also a taboo, not to mix and eat, mixing and eating can also lead to accidents.


    Rather than saying that Li Huowang can now become a poor doctor, it is better to say that he is now a qualified drug dealer.


    Danyao is not the key, the key is that Li Huowang''s relationship with Danyangzi gradually heats up during this contact.


    The other party may even refine elixirs and even have Li Huowang attack them on the side.


    When Danyangzi once again accepted a Taoist as his disciple, Li Huowang was no longer the youngest and had completely integrated into the Qingfeng Temple.


    Through such close contact, Li Huowang confirmed his conjecture that Danyangzi did not recognize characters and was very, very resistant to others'' recognition.


    He did not allow his apprentice to surpass him in anything, so he found his apprentice and basically did not recognize characters.


    This made Li Huowang feel a hint of something wrong, as he still remembers what Danyangzi had said to him back then.


    Because the way to become an immortal was written in the Heavenly Book of the Lord, and the Heavenly Book was personally delivered to me by the Lord. Who else in the world can become an immortal? He said I can become an immortal. I am sure I can become an immortal


    Since the old gentleman in his mouth gave him a Heavenly Book, and the other disciples did not know the characters, and he himself did not know the characters, who on earth read it to him?

 Chapter 15 Zhengkun

    My home is at Baolufang 22, Dongcheng Gate, Xialiang. Can you tell my wife that there are two small goldfish in the interlayer of the third pickled vegetable stall under the bed? Save some money, they should all be used for Bao''er''s adult


    A middle-aged man with a face full of beans suppressed his fear and whispered his last words to Li Huowang.


    This is the medicinal guide sent to the Pill Room today, but Li Huowang can do nothing about it and can only keep these last words in mind.


    Watching him trembling as he walked into the alchemy room, Li Huowang turned around and left, looking a bit agitated as he walked back.


    This is already the eighth person, and as time goes by, the number of people in the material room is constantly decreasing. What makes him feel even more painful is that he seems to have become accustomed to it, and the guilt of sending someone to death is constantly weakening.


    I am being assimilated by a disgusting guy like Danyangzi, and he doesn''t want to do this.


    Li Huowang is eager to get rid of the extremely tormenting situation he is in. He is looking for a solution, but it is not easy to find. Relying solely on himself and some disabled people in the material room, it is almost impossible to deal with the unpredictable Danyangzi.


    The only thing he knows now is that the "You Lao Ye" controlled by Danyangzi does not exist on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and he cannot keep an eye on them. Additionally, Danyangzi does not recognize characters, and there is someone in the Qingfeng Temple who is helping him read the Heavenly Book.


    I went to Danyangzi''s residence to find the existence who killed him? Among his disciples in the cave, only I can read, and he must have asked me to translate the Heavenly Book for him! At that time, I want to kill Danyangzi, wouldn''t it be easy to catch him


    The idea had just popped out of his mind for a moment when Li Huowang rejected it.


    Although he knew where the cave where Danyang lived was, he didn''t know what traps were inside. Secondly, he didn''t know whether the existence of reading the Heavenly Book for Danyangzi was strong or not. He just recklessly went in and didn''t know how to die, even if he wasn''t dead.


    Poisoning his elixir? No way, he taught me all my alchemy skills, and this kind of practice is even more deadly


    Li Huo walked back as he walked, constantly thinking about new ways to deal with Danyangzi.


    At this moment, a gloomy looking young man wearing a Taoist robe and a alchemist''s scarf walked across the street. Li Huowang knew him, and he was the inner disciple of Danyangzi, Zhengkun.


    I don''t know much about him, Li Huowang. Except for occasional encounters during meals, I can''t even see the shadow of Zheng Kun.


    The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Moreover, unlike his named disciples like Li Huowang, he doesn''t have to worry about managing everything in the Qingfeng Temple. As for what he usually does, Li Huowang doesn''t know.


    The two of them staggered left and right, and with Zheng Kun''s shoulder lightly leaning, Li Huowang directly collided with his body. The moment he touched him, Li Huowang seemed to feel like he had hit a piece of pig iron.


    Zheng Kun suddenly stood still and turned to look at him with a smile on his face. Xuanyang, you have been very jumpy in the temple recently. Master, he is very happy to be coaxed by you


    Li Huowang frowned slightly and glanced at him without saying anything about turning around and leaving.


    But before he took two steps, he felt a huge force coming from behind, pushing him straight out.


    Li Huowang stumbled a few steps and stabilized for a while, but finally he didn''t fall into a dog and eat shit.


    Why, Senior Brother Xuanyang, I can''t even speak well, can I? "Zheng Kun, who was holding his chest in both hands, walked forward step by step and asked Li Huowang.


    Senior Brother Zhengkun, I still need to help my master organize the elixir materials, "Li Huowang said calmly.


    "Don''t beat me with my master. I was chased by people with my master. You don''t know where I was! I tell you, Xuanyang, it''s good to do your work honestly at ordinary times. You''d better shut up when doing other things. Don''t be so insightless." Zhengkun''s tone was harsh again.


    Li Huowang didn''t feel angry, but looked at Zheng Kun in front of him in a daze, as if thinking about something. The other person did have a bad temper, as Xuanyuan said, but didn''t he say this guy was impulsive?


    What''s up? You''re mute? Speak up


    Li Huowang, who had just been expressionless, began to come to life, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.


    It is the master''s intention to value me, even if he tells me the way to become an immortal, it is also his business. Senior Brother Zhengkun may not be able to handle it


    Zheng Kun was stunned for a moment, but didn''t react. The other party dared to speak to him like that.


    After he regained his composure, his ferocious fingers made a one-handed decision, stabbing Li Huowang''s left rib like a small chisel across his robe.


    Even you deserve it? Even if the master of the Immortal Cultivation Technique didn''t tell me, he would tell you? What do you think you are? Medicine residue


    The intense pain almost made Li Huowang faint, but he smiled on his face and guessed right.


    Hehe, the master didn''t tell you. Perhaps your intelligence is low, Senior Brother Zhengkun. Cultivating immortals depends on your talent. Since your talent is not good, don''t let the master waste time on your body


    This words seemed to touch Zheng Kun''s scales, and he pulled out his fingers again and stabbed Li Huowang''s body three times in a row. You scumbag! You''re looking for death


    In great pain, Li Huowang''s laughter grew louder and louder. "Hahaha, come on, come and kill me. Let''s see how the master reacts when he knows that disciples in the temple are killing each other


    Watching Li Huowang''s laughter turn from laughter to wild laughter in front of him, Zheng Kun kicked his right foot and kicked him directly onto the wall. Humph! You ignorant and foolish fool


    Li Huowang lay on the ground for half a day without regaining his strength. With the effort of a cup of tea, a pair of broad hands reached out next to him and helped him up.


    Hey, Senior Brother Xuanyang, why are you so disobedient? Didn''t I tell you to show more respect to Zhengkun? Why did you still provoke him


    The speaker was the good old man Xuanyuan, who was the only person in the Qingfeng Temple who spoke to Li Huowang due to his easygoing personality.


    Li Huowang covered his armpit and held back the pain, saying, "Why? Can he still kill me? Master You, you can watch from the side. If a disciple in the Taoist temple dies again, you won''t be able to sustain it


    What kind of Master You? "Xuanyuan looked a little surprised.


    He doesn''t know? A sudden thought flashed in Li Huowang''s heart, ''Don''t others know how the master monitors the entire Qingfeng Temple?''?


    Thinking of the two inner disciples who had died before, Li Huowang realized that these people might not even be known.


    It''s nothing, I just said he doesn''t dare to do anything


    That''s not what I said. He''s an inner disciple, and you''re a nominal disciple. Although he doesn''t dare to directly kill you, he wants to give you small shoes, which is as easy as a palm of his hand


    Haha, my feet are small and I am naturally suitable for wearing small shoes


    While talking to Xuanyuan, Li Huowang''s eyes showed a smile. Zheng Kun had just revealed a message that even as an inner disciple, he still had no qualifications to learn the Immortal Cultivation Technique.


    Danyangzi doesn''t trust anyone,


    This is not the point, the point is that he saw the other person''s eyes. When he first looked into each other''s eyes, he clearly felt the strong unwillingness in his eyes when he said he had learned the Immortal Cultivation Technique.


    The disciples educated by Danyangzi cannot be loyal and loyal anywhere.


    This may be a utilization point. He wants to give it a try.

 Chapter 16 Brain

    Li Huowang''s ribs were punctured and broken by Zheng Kun''s manipulation, leaving several dark pits on his body. Fortunately, this is not much, with the help of pills, he can barely treat this small injury.


    Compared to injuries, he cares more about his own layout.


    It happened to be the first day of junior high school, and Li Huowang unintentionally told him the intelligence of "You Lao Ye" he had learned from Bai Lingmiao through another conflict with him.


    After seeing his expression slightly change, Li Huowang immediately felt a sense of joy in his heart.


    In fact, he doesn''t know what the other party will do when they receive this information. He just wants to give it a try. Anyway, he has nothing to do, and if there are any dates, he will play three games. Now it seems that he has succeeded, and the other party must have their own selfish intentions.


    The days inside the cave are endless, and the first day of the lunar calendar is coming soon. This day is the best time for Danyangzi to practice elixirs. He needs to stay in the alchemy room for the whole morning, and it happens to be when the "Master You" is not around.


    Although the entire Qingfeng Temple is not small, it is also not small. After living for such a long time, Li Huowang has already figured out the trajectory of Zheng Kun''s actions. However, he did not do anything and stayed quietly in the main hall, sitting with his legs crossed.


    Am I wrong? This guy is not so greedy? "Li Huowang lay on his own bed thinking about where the mistake had gone.


    When fifteen days passed and February 1st arrived, there was still no movement in Zhengkun.


    Just when Li Huowang thought he had miscalculated, on February 15th, there was no one in the Zhengyi Hall where Zheng Kun often went, and he couldn''t bear it in the end.


    Just as he saw Danyangzi cooking, Li Huowang hurriedly approached Danyangzi''s residence according to the original plan.


    Just as he was about to reach the entrance of the cave, Li Huowang suddenly stopped. He saw Zheng Kun guarding in the distance, but he did not enter.


    Watching him standing at the door carefully observing, Li Huowang immediately knew that someone had replaced him. He was watching the wind, and this guy''s suspicion was even heavier than he imagined.


    After about half an hour, Li Huowang saw Xuanyin sneaking out of it.


    Zheng Kun glanced at him and took out a black talisman to stick to their knees, disappearing like a gust of wind.


    A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.


    The door was only ajar, as if it were a trap that lured people in.


    Seeing that the other party had already acted as a pathfinder for him, Li Huowang knew that even if there were preparations in the room, he might have been relieved by Zheng Kun. He slowly leaned over, and this was his own opportunity.


    Danyangzi''s residence is very spacious, but it is very messy and dirty inside, and the smell of dead mice inside is very unpleasant.


    Although the environment was harsh, Li Huowang still saw the most valuable thing at first glance, a stone slab covered in a black wire and copper coin net.


    The stone slab that was not unexpected was the Heavenly Book in Danyangzi''s mouth. He cautiously walked over and measured the content across the black line.


    Zheng Kun must have secretly learned the Immortal Cultivation Technique, but from the scene, he did not succeed.


    Li Huowang carefully identified the content of the book. The content is very obscure, and it can barely be seen that it is Hieroglyph, but it seems to be the characters of more ancient dynasties.


    Although the evolution of Chinese characters over thousands of years is the smallest, he still struggles to read them.


    The more I look at Li Huowang, the more I feel that something is wrong. Doesn''t Danyangzi say that the way to become an immortal is to practice both internal and external elixirs at the same time? It seems that this guy didn''t practice according to the above.


    Xi Bu Pu Yin Qian Ta Po... has gained as much as the clouds and widely spread Pu Yin Ze... Her wonderful body brings peace and liberation to everything


    And this thing doesn''t seem like the so-called immortal cultivation method at all, but rather a scripture.


    Hee hee. "A strange snicker made Li Huowang''s neck cool. He quickly turned around but found no one behind him.


    On the wall where a hole was pulled out, there was only a Blue and white pottery vertical bottle as thick as a small arm.


    Something''s wrong. "Li Huowang, who was scared, began to retrace his path, but Zheng Kun didn''t seem to have cleared all the dangers.


    Don''t move, "said a sharp and slender female voice from behind.


    Li Huowang slowly turned his head again, and the scene before him made his back feel cold. Just now there was a white girl''s head at the mouth of the narrow vertical bottle.


    It is said to be a girl, but the skin color is not very like a living person, especially the powder blusher on the left and right sides, which is red and scary.


    Staring at the extreme red dot in the center of her forehead, Li Huowang felt even more eerie as he looked at it.


    In this moment, he also understood that what Danyangzi relied on to read the Heavenly Book for him was the guy in front of him.


    Are you with that person just now? Hee hee, you''re in big trouble. I just need to ring the bell, and my dad will come back. "Her towering braid happened to have several copper bells tied with red thread.


    As he watched the other party say this, Li Huowang was instantly anxious, but the next second his expression suddenly calmed down. You shout, just to let your father come over and know that you lied to him


    When Li Huowang saw a hint of panic on the face of the vase head, he immediately sneered in his heart. I guessed it right, that''s right. He''s not the only one who wants to fool someone who doesn''t know how to read. I don''t know what it is, but he''s already done it!


    The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and everyone in the Qingfeng Temple harbors evil intentions!


    You can''t blame me for that, those words are too ugly for me to understand. My dad forced me to read them to him, so what can I do? "The vase''s head said wrongly, and she was about to burst into tears.


    Watching the vase girl''s completely panicked expression, Li Huowang quickly made a decision after thinking for a moment.


    Okay, let''s make a three chapter agreement. If I leave this place now, you shouldn''t have seen me and I shouldn''t have known about your situation. This will be good for everyone


    The vase shook its head and finally nodded. Alright, hurry up and leave, I''ll just pretend you haven''t come before


    Li Huowang raised his foot and slowly moved towards the door, "Since the Heavenly Book is fake, are all the alchemy formulas for refining people made up by you


    A silly smile appeared on the face of the vase''s head, "Yes, because I only remember those things, I pretended to tell my father what was written in the book. Don''t worry, it won''t kill anyone. I don''t want my father to die. I''m just afraid my father will know I''m useless and don''t want me anymore. Look at me, I have no hands or feet


    Just as the head of the vase was talking about rising, Li Huowang suddenly raised his right hand high, clenched the jade pendant, and forcefully smashed it at the bottle.


    The circular jade pendant with a white shadow instantly collided with the bottle, causing cracks to appear. In the panic of the bottle''s head, she directly and heavily fell to the ground.


    The bottle was shattered, and the five organs and six organs entangled in black Buddhist beads, mixed with feces and urine, were directly exposed to the air.


    Wuwu~Dad!! I hurt, Dad, I hurt so much. "The crying voice of the vase''s head grew weaker and weaker.

 Chapter 17 Found

    Who!! Who is it!!! "An extremely brutal roar echoed throughout the cave, which was Danyangzi''s voice, the first time he had been so angry.


    When someone ran away before, Danyangzi was not angry, and when Li Huowang accidentally offended him with words, he was not angry either, but now he is angry.


    The atmosphere inside the entire Qingfeng Temple became extremely oppressive, even the oil lamps hanging on the wall felt much darker than usual.


    At the command of Danyangzi, everyone came to the main hall for morning classes one after another.


    The air was filled with a smell of blood, and the messy corpses on the ground had proven that Danyangzi had poured out his inexhaustible anger on some innocent people.


    Killing someone can make him feel better, but it''s not enough, it''s far from enough.


    A clump of bloody and mangled objects slammed in front of everyone.


    That was the vase head that Li Huowang had broken before. Death made her powder blusher dim and irrelevant, and her godless eyes showed deep fear.


    Who did this? Who stole into my house while I was refining pills


    At this moment, Danyangzi''s voice was low and suppressed, like a lion on the eve of an outbreak. Now you honestly stand up and I''ll give you a break. If you wait and I catch you myself, hum! I''ll make you kneel down and beg me to kill you


    The entire cave was completely silent, and no one dared to move, whether it was Yaoyin, disciples, or even children.


    Okay! Don''t even say it, right? Then I''ll ask one by one! Changming Changren, what were you doing when I was refining pills before


    The two disciples carrying long swords immediately saluted Danyangzi. Master, as you instructed, the two of us held hands on Qingfeng to observe the gate without neglecting for a moment


    Danyangzi, who had no expression on his face, walked up to them and scrutinized their expressions in detail. After staring at both of them, their cold sweats were about to flow down, Danyangzi slowly looked aside. Xuanyuan! And you


    And at this moment, Li Huowang, standing next to Xuanyuan, felt a sense of tightness in his heart. He knew that his next turn was coming, so he quickly cheered himself up and persisted! As long as he doesn''t show any flaws, he''s sure to win!


    Love this story? Find the genuine version on the author''s preferred platform and support their work!


    Xuanyang! It''s your turn. Where did you go after you delivered the medicine guide today


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang immediately blurted out. The disciple is in the material room. Prepare the necessary elixir for the master next time


    Is that right? "Danyangzi walked over, his nauseating odor and suffocating sense of authority made Li Huowang''s body tense to the extreme. He finally understood why the other senior brothers had just sweated so much.


    Time passed by minute by second, and under the strong pressure, Li Huowang''s sweat beads on his forehead also increased.


    Suddenly, his body lightened, and just as he thought he had escaped, Danyangzi''s voice rang out again. Do you people really see Xuanyang in the material room?


    Li Huowang''s gaze turned, and he saw that Danyangzi had already arrived in front of Bai Lingmiao and their storehouses. He said this to the medicinal guides.


    Think it over again. If anyone can help me find out who did it, I will not only send him home, but also offer to pester him


    As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining dozen disabled people in the material room immediately opened their eyes. They wanted to go home and dreamed of leaving this damn place.


    Master, Senior Brother Li was indeed with us at that time. "Bai Lingmiao, who felt a slight fluctuation in her heart, spoke up for the first time.


    Danyangzi glanced deeply at her face and said, "Oh? Where are the others


    At this moment, the dog''s egg sucked in a bit hastily, and his expression struggled. Finally, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to stand up. That, Immortal Grandpa, I said! I didn''t even come to the material room once today with that Xuanyang guy! That person must be him


    As soon as these words were spoken, Xuan Yin''s expression in the crowd, which turned pale with fear, slightly raised the corners of her mouth, almost ready to burst out laughing, and she saved her life.


    Danyangzi looked back at Li Huowang and slowly walked up to Dog Egg, his right hand slapping him in the face. Fart! Xuanyang personally delivered the medicinal guide this morning! He didn''t go to the material room to find it where? Are you trying to find death


    Dog Egg seemed frightened and quickly knelt on the ground with tears streaming down his nose, constantly kowtowing. Immortal Grandpa, I was wrong. I was blinded by lard for a while before I lied


    Danyangzi looked expressionless at the dog egg on the ground, which was scared to urinate. In the next moment, he suddenly turned around and looked at Xuanyin. What were you laughing about just now? Are you very happy that Xuanyang was falsely accused


    As soon as these words were spoken, Xuanyin''s body trembled with fear, and the strong pressure from Danyangzi''s body almost made him gasp for breath.


    As Danyangzi slowly walked towards him, Xuanyin''s expression became increasingly nervous. Even those next to him who didn''t know the truth could see that he was clearly not right.


    Just as Danyangzi walked up to him, he couldn''t support himself anymore and collapsed on the ground. Yellow urine slowly seeped out from under the hem of his robe. Master! This is not what I want to do! Senior Brother Zhengkun forced me to do it


    As soon as this was said, Zheng Kun beside him had a grimace on his face, and his feet vigorously kicked against the hard ground, charging towards the entrance of the cave like a cheetah with its remnants.


    Surprisingly, it could be you! "Danyangzi snorted coldly, and with a wave of his right Taoist robe, accompanied by the crisp sound of the bell, a copper coin with bronze green rolled and fell to the ground, spinning like a top.


    As Zheng Kun was about to escape from the cave, Danyangzi''s right foot in cloth shoes suddenly lifted and stepped, raising the dust high.


    With a "click" sound, the entire copper coin instantly split and splashed out, not only the copper coin but also Zhengkun in the distance.


    His limbs were torn apart as if they had been dismembered.


    Without his limbs, Zheng Kun, who was bleeding incessantly, did not die and still squirmed towards the door like a meat maggot.


    Oh, baby, you''ve been with me the longest. How could it have been you? I should have thought of it earlier. You could have solved the ban in my room, too. "The ferocious Danyangzi stepped on Zhengkun''s head, stopping him from wriggling.


    Master. I... I was wrong, Master. I''m now a useless person, please spare me this time


    Master, when those monks from Zhengde Temple chased us back then, it was my two younger brothers who took their lives in exchange for us to escape! Master


    Danyangzi''s feet moved slightly downwards, pressing Zheng Kun''s face, which was so crimson, directly onto the ground, making him completely speechless.


    Baby, do you know what''s on your mind? Actually, I know it all too well. You''re just like your two younger brothers, you''re an unfamiliar white eyed wolf!! "Danyangzi said word by word, and his feet were constantly increasing their strength.


    Touch! "With a loud explosion, a drop of sticky blood splashed onto Li Huowang''s face.

 Chapter 18 Immortal Cultivation Method

    The person who broke his own bottle was found, but Danyangzi couldn''t be happy at all. He looked at Zheng Kun''s body in a complicated way and kicked it away fiercely.


    I almost raised you like half a son! But you treated me like this


    The entire cave was completely silent, leaving only Danyangzi''s rapid breathing sound.


    This situation lasted for two columns of incense, and Danyangzi slowly raised his hand and pointed a finger directly at Li Huowang in the crowd. You, come here and kowtow to Grandmaster


    Li Huowang was slightly stunned for a moment, and finally walked over under everyone''s gaze, kneeling on the ground and bowing to the three sculptures on the wall.


    When the process of three gifts and nine kowtows came to an end, Li Huowang, holding the three pillars of incense, already understood what the other party was going to do. In the future, you will be the closing disciple of our master


    Yes, master. "Li Huowang''s heart was almost trembling with excitement at this moment. This moment has finally arrived. Don''t worry, leprosy head, I will definitely help you achieve "immortality"


    Come with me, I have something for you to do, "Danyangzi carefully held the remains of the vase''s head in his palm.


    Following Danyangzi, Li Huowang revisited his hometown and arrived at his residence.


    Shh, shh, shh! "The black thread winding around the stone slab flew like a long snake, penetrating into Danyangzi''s sleeve, and the so-called Heavenly Book was completely present before his eyes. Can you understand what''s written on it


    After pretending to distinguish in detail, Li Huowang asked with some confusion, "Master, you told me before that the method of becoming an immortal is to cultivate both internal and external elixirs to become an immortal? But that''s not right, there aren''t any internal elixirs on this


    Hmm? What?! "Danyangzi looked at the corpse with the head of a vase on the side.


    It''s absolutely true, "Li Huowang said decisively.


    God knows what she made up with Li Huowang about the vase before. If she couldn''t connect it herself, she might just expose it. Instead of that, it''s better to just confess and start over by pushing it down.


    And he didn''t say anything nonsense, that''s the fact. The so-called immortal cultivation method that Danyangzi used to use before was indeed fabricated by that vase head, and it was simply fake.


    Of course, the next thing I make up won''t be true either.


    Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    Danyangzi hesitated and pondered. At first, he didn''t want to believe what Li Huowang said, but as he became suspicious, the more he thought about it, the more he became suspicious.


    No wonder she hasn''t become an immortal for such a long time. No wonder this girl said that the things written in the Heavenly Book will change and she can''t memorize them hard. Emotions are like this.


    Ka~Bah! "A mouthful of disgusting green phlegm was spat directly onto the head of the vase by Danyangzi. He turned to look at Li Huowang and said," So, what is it written on this Heavenly Book


    Hmm, it''s a set of internal skill techniques. It says that it must be practiced in conjunction with several external elixirs before the end of the old year and the coming of the new year, in order to cut off the spiritual energy from the immortal world that the Heavenly Way injects into the mortal world and inhale it into the body to become an immortal. "Li Huowang looked at the stone tablet, his brows furrowed, and said with serious intent.


    There are several types of elixirs to eat, such as a type of elixir that costs 2 taels of cinnabar and 4 yuan, 1 tael of white money and 1 tael and 2 yuan of arsenic. Also, Master You? Master, what kind of medicinal herb is this Master You


    Danyangzi did not answer, but quietly looked at Li Huowang. Baby, if that little girl can deceive me, shouldn''t you also deceive me


    Li Huowang''s answer was decisive. Master, this is the way to become an immortal. How can I deceive you? I also want to become an immortal


    Okay! "Danyangzi slapped heavily and laughed," then this time, let''s become immortals together


    Li Huowang''s expression froze for a moment, and then became extremely excited. Is this true? Master, is this really okay? Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master


    Danyangzi carefully observed his expression and nodded clearly after not noticing any abnormalities.


    Well, there''s no hurry with the pill. Please tell me the set of techniques first, and when we master and apprentice become proficient, we can refine the external pill. There''s still some time before the Chinese New Year


    Yes, master! "Li Huowang then told Danyangzi a set of so-called internal and external great Zhou Tian techniques.


    On that day, Li Huowang stayed in Danyangzi''s room for a long time and didn''t come back until late at night.


    Li Huowang was walking in the tunnel with a lantern in his hand, and his happy plan was progressing smoothly. His goal would soon be achieved.


    After suppressing for so long, finally a good thing happened.


    When he arrived at the material room, he found that the remaining people were indeed not sleeping.


    Seeing that it was Li Huowang, everyone immediately rushed forward with excitement in their eyes. Everyone understood what today''s event represented, and Li Huowang had already provided them with information specifically before.


    Don''t worry, wait for my good news, you can go home soon


    As soon as Li Huowang spoke this, almost everyone burst into tears of excitement, and they could finally go home.


    Senior Brother Li, you are my reincarnated parents! You are the Living Bodhisattva!! "One of the polio patients, who had no changes in hands or feet, knelt excitedly on the ground and was about to kowtow to Li Huowang.


    He seems to have played a leading role, and others are following suit.


    After persuading Li Huowang for a while, he finally stopped the farce. This noon, if it weren''t for everyone, I would be finished. Is that why I still have to kowtow to you


    When they got up from the ground, everyone was smiling and happy like during the Chinese New Year.


    Li Huowang looked at the smiling faces in front of him, with a hint of warmth in his heart. In this unfamiliar world, these strange looking guys were his companions.


    Senior Brother Li, did I perform well? That mangy head was like a fool, fooled around by me. "Gowardesh slapped his withered chest and smirked as he asked Li Huowang for credit.


    Indeed, the performance was good. If it weren''t for you coming in like that, Danyangzi wouldn''t be so easy to let go


    While others were surrounded by Li Huowang''s various questions, some were worried about everything else.


    Senior Brother Li, are you okay? Is he really not bothering you? "Bai Lingmiao walked over and asked with some concern.


    Upon hearing this, Li Huowang recalled Dan Yangzi''s words about becoming an immortal together. Dan Yangzi attempted to test his own medicine, but he knew it and there was no need to tell her.


    He has asked me to translate the content of the Heavenly Book for him now. What can I do for him? Don''t worry, I am doing very well


    After chatting with each other for a while, Li Huowang''s expression stiffened. "New Year''s Day is about to pass, and those tour masters are coming back from the market soon. To make a long story short, I need your help here. Did your grandfather tell you any other stories before


    He hasn''t compiled all the immortal elixirs on the Heavenly Book yet.


    Simple cinnabar, this kind of mercury ore can no longer satisfy him. He needs to put something else inside, which is as evil as it may be.


    Danyangzi''s strength, he has not forgotten. He must be completely killed.

 Chapter 19 Superstition

    Upon hearing Li Huowang''s words, Bai Lingmiao widened her eyes and said, "Yes, yes. My master also told me not to run outside the village. People outside the village are so bad that if they catch children, they will strip them of their skin and put on dog skin to train them. Because children are smart, they can use this dog that understands people''s language to perform acrobatics on the street. That child will be miserable because their body will stick to that dog skin, and they will never grow again


    Li Huowang, with a slightly furrowed brow, shook his head and said, "No, I''m not talking about stories where these old ladies scare their grandchildren. I''m talking about things like Mr. You


    Mr. You like that? Let me think... "Bai Lingmiao frowned slightly and began to think. My master''s stories are usually messy, but most of them are about insects in the mountains eating people, and there are really few species of Master You


    Who told your grandfather the story of Master You


    Bai Lingmiao innocently widened his eyes and said, "Of course my grandfather told him, and then my grandfather told me again. I will also tell my grandson in the future


    Li Huowang scratched his head, saying that this story is still ancestral and he seems to have miscalculated.


    Senior Brother Li, I know one, "suddenly said a weak young man who was leaning against the wall to listen.


    This person has malformed joints, with one shoulder high and one shoulder low, and his entire body is very twisted, even in the material room, he can be considered quite "outstanding in appearance".


    Senior Brother Li, my surname is Zhao and I''m a homebound traveler. Just call me Zhao Wu


    No matter who says it, Li Huowang walked up to him and said, "Okay, you say it


    Zhao Wu looked around and lowered his voice, saying, "The kind of evil thing you''re talking about, I heard the older generation say there was once a thing called Great Grandma


    Big grandma? What does she look like? "Li Huowang quickly searched his mind and couldn''t find any pictures related to it. From the literal meaning, he guessed that there was no clue at all.


    Shh~Senior Brother Li, don''t be so loud and keep it down. This thing is very evil. I heard it, Grandma will hear it. If you often say it, they will come to find you


    Oh? "Upon hearing this, Li Huowang regained his energy.


    I heard my cousin say, it looks different in front of everyone, some like long eared monsters, some are old people who have passed away, but the only similarity is that anyone who stays next to them for a while will also become great grandmothers


    This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    Li Huowang felt his chin thoughtfully. This place is really strange. There are all sorts of inexplicable things. Okay, is there anything else


    Yes, and there''s also the mother-in-law fish. This thing is also evil


    At Zhao Wu''s place, Li Huowang learned many strange terms, which were the materials he would put into the Immortal Pill.


    You really know a lot, thank you very much. These news have been helpful to me. "Speaking only of the highly toxic elixir alone, Danyangzi may have discovered it, but by adding these things that even he cannot distinguish, the credibility is much higher.


    What you want is to not understand, as long as you cannot understand anything, it becomes more profound.


    Upon hearing Li Huowang say this, Zhao Shi smiled with joy. This is all I heard from my cousin. He is a peddler and has been everywhere and knows a lot


    Alright, it''s almost time. I''ll go back and wait for my news quietly. "Li Huowang took a deep breath, stood up, and walked out.


    Just two steps away, a tall figure at least 1.9 meters stood in front of him. I, I


    Li Huowang knew the bald man in front of him, and the people in the material room called him a fool, the kind of person who dribbles with cross-eyed eyes.


    It may not be accurate to say that he is completely stupid, he just has a stuttering, slow reaction, and low intelligence. I... I... I also know


    Li Huowang sighed and reached out to pat his bald head, then turned around and walked towards the door.


    The next morning, Li Huowang was summoned to his residence by Danyangzi early. I have almost practiced the internal and external Zhou Tian cultivation techniques you mentioned. Can you tell me the pills that are used in combination with the cultivation techniques


    Yes, master. "Li Huowang walked up to the slate and observed again with a pretense. "Well, the big grandma has two hearts, refining its essence? What does Shifu mean?"


    Danyangzi, with an uncertain expression on his face, wandered back and forth inside the room, muttering to himself, "Is that so? How could this Yin evil be used in the way of becoming an immortal


    Master, what is Great Grandma


    Don''t worry, keep going


    One mother-in-law fish, take its gills, soak in two taels of arsenic


    The knowledge learned from Zhao Wu, combined with Li Huowang''s modern knowledge, ultimately blended with the energy of staying up all night, and softened a systematic way to become an immortal in his mouth.


    After Li Huowang finished everything he had made up, he saw that he was very excited and muttered something to himself.


    However, when he carefully identified it, he immediately felt very surprised.


    Yes, that''s right. Arsenic is too cold, and it must be neutralized by hot and dry substances like father-in-law fish. Wonderful! And how could I not have thought of using Great Grandma to infuse the pill before? Since people can infuse the pill, how can these yin and evil substances not infuse the pill? "This guy actually began to balance the medicinal properties of the pill in his brain.


    Li Huowang discovered that when Danyangzi was smart, he was very smart, but when he was foolish, he was truly foolish. He didn''t believe anyone, only believed in a set that couldn''t be worked out in his own heart.


    If there is a word to express it, it is superstition. In a world without gods and ghosts, superstition represents ignorance, but in a world with gods and ghosts, superstition is still ignorance, only the things that are lost are different.


    At this moment, Danyangzi reached into his sleeve with his right hand and lifted it. The missing copper bell appeared in his hand, which was the kind of bell he saw in zombie movies used to manipulate zombies.


    As he began to shake vigorously, the piercing bell rang instantly, and Li Huowang felt a headache that was about to crack. He instinctively covered his head and gritted his teeth.


    This eerie copper bell not only affects his hearing, but also his eyes.


    Everything around began to twist and deform, and the entire world shook violently like an earthquake.


    What''s going on? Danyangzi, what''s this up to? Is there anything wrong with me? Did he find out


    Just as Li Huowang was thinking this way, he saw the corner of the table, the edge of Danyangzi''s Taoist robe, and even the side of the Heavenly Book next to him. Throughout the room, any angle between the edges of anything he saw slowly condensed in front of Danyangzi as if it were alive.


    It is difficult to describe what this clump of objects formed by their edges and corners looks like, but the only certainty is that it can be alive.


    Li Huowang thought he was mistaken. He shook his head vigorously, but it was okay if it didn''t shake. In a moment, the thing turned into two with Li Huowang''s shaking.

 Chapter 20 Danyangzi

    When Li Huowang saw these two things crawling in front of Danyangzi, who was also constantly twisting, he had a guess in his heart. Are these two things here to help him find the elixir


    Just as he was thinking this way, Li Huowang saw Danyangzi bend down and grab a handful of mud from the ground and stuff it into his mouth, and began to babble at these two balls of things.


    The sound was very strange, it didn''t sound like a human being could make, but those two things seemed to understand and quickly dissipated after fluctuating up and down.


    As they left, everything that was constantly twisted and dark gradually returned to normal.


    Baby, don''t worry. Although it''s difficult to get the things on the Heavenly Book, it can''t defeat your master and me. Outside, I still have connections, "said Danyangzi proudly.


    That''s right, Master is someone who is about to become an immortal. I''m afraid there''s nothing difficult to get you in the world! But Master, what was that just now


    Humph, baby, you still have to learn. This thing is what the Heavenly Book says about ''Master You''


    The past crises have always made Li Huowang nervous and have not had time to think about what kind of world this place is.


    What kind of grandmother, what kind of master you, doesn''t look like ordinary things at all.


    If it weren''t for eating normal pork and sheep''s head during meals, he would almost have thought that no living thing in this world was normal.


    Hey, this thing is a good treasure. Taoist, I put in a lot of effort to grab it. "Danyangzi put the copper bell back into his sleeve.


    Robbing


    Of course you want to grab it. If you don''t grab it, will others give it to you for free? Hmph! What if we don''t have anyone else? Grab


    "This is what I learned when I was five years old, when a beggar older than me snatched sour Mantou from my hands."


    When I was young, I snatched women, horses, and silver. Later, I snatched martial arts, magical tools, disciples, and even the entire Qingfeng Temple! Did you see what the clay sculpture''s founder said? Hem, "said Danyangzi with a hint of pride on his face.


    Baby, you need to listen to adults when they talk. This is teaching you to be obedient, you know? I told you this because I treated you as my own person


    But master, what if we can''t grab it


    Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.


    Can''t grab it? Can''t grab it? Can''t you join forces to grab it? Why are you such a stubborn brain that knows how to read? If you can''t join forces to grab it, you''ll get drugged. If you can''t get drugged, you''ll get Yin


    A few words made Li Huowang aware of the demeanor of the toad in front of him, which also made him understand why this guy didn''t get close to him by any means, and everything that worked with him was snatched by one hammer from the other.


    Master, master lives well


    Humph! What''s wrong with me not knowing the characters? What''s wrong with me not having the ability to understand? I''m just saying that I don''t have the ability to do things. When I become an immortal, I''ll lift the eyelids of those guys and show them who doesn''t have the ability to do things now! Who doesn''t have the ability to do things! "Danyangzi said, gritting his teeth and his ugly face was full of anger.


    Li Huowang doesn''t know who those people are, but it''s certain that the grudges between the two sides are deep.


    For a period of time afterwards, Li Huowang spent almost all his time eating and living with Danyangzi, wholeheartedly exploring the immortality methods in the Heavenly Book.


    During this period, Li Huowang was also constantly improving in secret, making the entire method of becoming an immortal more credible


    What Li Huowang said was quickly delivered.


    Looking at the gray white sticky giant covered in black soft fur and a nearby amorphous black swelling with a faint shimmer.


    Apart from marveling at the disgust of these things, Li Huowang was also surprised by Dan Yangzi''s strength, and he was able to obtain them all.


    Master, shall we open the furnace? "Li Huowang asked.


    "Don''t worry. It''s still a while before the New Year. Let''s go and have Reunion dinner dinner first."


    Li Huowang was surprised by Danyangzi''s words. Why did he eat the Reunion dinner dinner? Is there a relationship between the two?


    As the saying goes, seeing Danyangzi getting up and leaving the alchemy room, Li Huowang quickly followed up.


    When we arrived at the cave where we had dinner, all the other disciples had already arrived. They said they were other disciples, but in fact, they were only Changren Changming and Xuanyuan.


    At the sight of the somewhat empty round table, Danyangzi''s face instantly darkened and he said, "Why didn''t you set bowls and chopsticks for the deceased disciples? Set them up! Bring them back for the Chinese New Year


    After a while, when all the deceased disciples had bowls and chopsticks, the entire round table looked full and square.


    Danyangzi, who showed a satisfied smile again, nodded and sat back in the seat. Li Huowang sat on his right side, while the other side was empty, which was Zhengkun''s position. Come on, serve dumplings


    A pot of steaming dumplings was picked up by the children, with a fragrant aroma. They carefully placed them into everyone''s bowl with iron spoons, including those of the deceased.


    Hehehe, it''s Chinese New Year, everyone should relax and eat more. "That''s the way it goes, but including Li Huowang and the four others, they all waited for him to move their chopsticks before moving their mouths.


    Danyangzi picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a white dumpling, and put it into his mouth. With his eyes slightly closed, he began to chew intoxicated, "Hmm~It''s made of pig oil residue and leek filling, fragrant! Ah! What''s this? A penny? Good omen, good omen, haha


    Li Huowang looked at the dumplings in the bowl in front of him and was stunned for a while before taking a fierce gulp and eating them


    Danyangzi smiled and looked at Li Huowang, who was devouring dumplings. You''ve had a great time eating such delicious dumplings


    When I was your age, I didn''t even know what dumplings looked like, just heard how delicious they were. Hehe


    Later, one year during the Chinese New Year, I smelled the aroma of someone else''s rice and broke in to see how the dumplings looked. At that time, even the beautiful daughter of the family didn''t play with them, so she stomped and squatted on the kang, feeling confused. She ate all of the two catties of dumplings, and at that time, they made them with pig oil residue and leek filling


    The other disciples were chatting and laughing, but only Li Huowang was still wolfing down there.


    Danyangzi saw Li Huowang with tears in his eyes. He carefully picked up the bowl and poured his dumplings into his bowl. Ah, you are also a child of a hardworking family. Eat slowly and don''t choke


    With the sound of swallowing and the clash of bowls and chopsticks, only five people''s Reunion dinner meal ended.


    Just when Li Huowang thought he was about to start alchemy, he saw Danyangzi patting his mangy head with his hand, taking out a dozen red envelopes from his sleeve, and sending them to Changming Changren or those dead people next to the bowls and chopsticks.


    Come on, come on, it''s New Year''s Eve. Remember to put it under the pillow and take it all. When I was your age, I never had an elder send me New Year''s money


    Danyangzi placed the last red envelope next to Zhengkun''s bowl, then turned his head and smiled at Li Huowang, saying, "You don''t need to celebrate the New Year. Let''s become immortals together, and from then on, heaven and earth will live together


    Li Huowang smiled happily. What the master said is absolutely right


    Let''s go back to the alchemy room, start the furnace to refine the alchemy! Oh, baby, you come palm the fire


    Okay, master

 Chapter 21: Achieving the Way and Becoming an Immortal

    Looking at two metallic red pills with big fists, two wriggling flesh pills like living creatures, and two decaying black pills with a very piercing odor in front of me.


    Li Huowang nodded with satisfaction. He put everything he could think of into it, with so many ingredients in it, it could definitely eat dead people without leaving any vitality.


    A stick of incense was inserted next to it, representing the remaining time of the year. According to his fabricated martial arts, one must practice at the moment of passing the year to absorb the spiritual energy from the Heavenly Way.


    Li Huowang sat cross legged, first picking up the fist sized red lead and always preparing. As he was about to die, he found himself unexpectedly calm.


    Yes, he didn''t have any plans at all.


    Li Huowang understands that these pills must be taken by himself, and if he doesn''t take them himself, Danyangzi will definitely not be able to taste them.


    Although he had just eaten Reunion dinner dinner and pretended to be kind, what he said about becoming immortal together was actually that he came to test his medicine.


    But Danyangzi couldn''t figure it out, and Li Huowang didn''t care about his own life at all.


    Li Huowang has long been indifferent to life and death, as he does not belong here.


    My only purpose of living now is to watch Danyangzi, such disgusting garbage, walk into the cemetery under my guidance.


    At this moment, Danyangzi sat opposite him and also picked up a red pill first.


    Under the gaze of the two, the burning point of the incense gradually decreased.


    Just as the incense was about to burn out, Li Huowang took a deep breath, stuffed the pill in his hand into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.


    At this moment, Danyangzi''s movement of preparing to take the pill stopped, and he stared intently at Li Huowang''s movements.


    At this moment, Li Huowang, who had a slightly excited expression, seemed to have not seen it. He continued to swallow the remaining two directly, closed his eyes, and placed his hands on his knees.


    Sweat flowed down his face, and Li Huowang, who was meditating, began to tremble. However, an uncontrollable ecstasy gradually appeared on his face.


    I have a lot of innate spiritual energy! This... these are... I see, I understand, I understand!! I want to become an immortal~


    Stolen novel; please report.


    Danyangzi''s eyes showed a hint of anxiety when he heard this, but he still didn''t take the pill immediately. It wasn''t until he saw the white smoke emanating from Li Huowang''s head that he wolfed down the three pills.


    When Danyangzi, sitting with his legs crossed, closed his eyes and began to run around, Li Huowang slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the master in front of him, his smile even stronger than before.


    When he saw Danyangzi''s head emitting white smoke like himself, and some black things crawling all over his body along his veins, he sat cross legged and let go of his legs. Li Huowang covered his extremely painful stomach and burst into a wild laughter.


    Hahaha, mangy head! Mangy head!! You can''t become an immortal anymore! You can only become a ghost. Let''s get together on the bridge of the Naihe River, hahaha


    Danyangzi seemed to have heard it, but he didn''t respond. His eyes closed tightly, his teeth clenched, and he sat in place frantically working on the Inner and Outer Great Zhou Tian Cultivation Techniques.


    Are you still practicing? That''s all made up by me! I copied it from the fairy tale novel, hahaha, ouch, my stomach hurts so much, hahaha


    Li Huowang crawled down to the ground and slowly crawled to Danyangzi''s side, looking at his pale face with a smirk. He trembled and lifted his right hand, slapping him in the face. Hello, are you deaf? The master is talking to you


    With another slap on the backhand, Danyangzi remained motionless.


    Li Huowang trembled and took out a pill and stuffed it into his mouth, then his veins burst out all over him, feeling full of strength.


    I said stop practicing! Didn''t you hear me? "Li Huowang punched Danyangzi in the face and directly dented his mouth and nose.


    Danyangzi, who was full of blood in his mouth, suddenly opened his eyes and glared fiercely at Li Huowang. With a wave of his robe, he directly lifted Li Huowang away.


    Get out of here! You demons can''t stop me from becoming an immortal!! I''m about to become an immortal! Grandmaster is coming to pick me up soon


    Li Huowang was thrown out and lying on the ground. He didn''t sit up anymore, so he lay on the ground and looked at him. He muttered to himself, "Crazy, this guy is completely driven crazy by his obsession with becoming an immortal. Ouch, my stomach really hurts


    Just like this, sitting and lying down one by one, time passes by little by little. And Li Huowang''s abdominal pain became increasingly intense, and instinctively, his body arched into a shrimp like shape.


    Hiss, why is it so painful? How long will it take to suffer? I really regret not having a knife to wipe my neck just now, "said Li Huowang, who was arched into a shrimp, rolling painfully on the ground.


    Under intense pain, Li Huowang''s consciousness gradually fell into confusion, and he saw Yang Na''s face again. Yang Na, have you come to pick me up


    Yang Na''s face quickly melted and reassembled into the face of her attending doctor. Bed 14 has blurred consciousness, preliminary judgment of food poisoning! Quick! Bring the electric suction device over and perform gastric lavage


    Li Huowang slowly closed his eyes and an extremely gentle voice slid out of his lips.


    Wash your master''s stomach. Don''t forget, you''re at a psychiatric hospital. There''s no stomach washing machine. Can you hallucinations work? Be logical


    After speaking this last sentence, Li Huowang''s consciousness lost its sense of the surroundings.


    He feels very comfortable now because his stomach finally no longer hurts.


    Li Huowang felt his body constantly falling down but couldn''t reach the bottom.


    Huowang, hold on, you promised me! "A hazy and urgent female voice echoed in his ear.


    Not knowing how long it had been, suddenly Li Huowang opened his eyes and, with his hands on the ground, he began to vomit profusely.


    A ball of deformed flesh mixed with black water and some hair, mixed with dumpling crumbs, and a few visceral fragments were directly vomited out by Li Huowang.


    The flesh and blood lying in the black water didn''t move after a few movements.


    What happened suddenly left Li Huowang stunned and still alive? How could this be possible? That he is still alive, isn''t that Dan Yangzi!


    At the thought of this, Li Huowang suddenly burst into a cold sweat and instinctively turned his head to look. Then his mouth involuntarily opened to its maximum. I''ll go, he''s become a god... what


    He saw that his cheap master''s body had completely distorted, his ugly head cracked open, and three large mouths of flesh and blood protruded from inside. Three or four small mouths were also nested inside his mouth, full of disgusting yellow teeth entangled with each other and facing the roof.


    In addition to his head, his body also underwent significant changes, with feathers glued together by asphalt resembling sharp spines, cruelly emerging from the flesh and blood.


    What is this? Three flowers raised to the top, feathering to ascend immortality


    Just as this idea erupted from Li Huowang''s head, the three mouths opened to their fullest, and three voices of young, middle-aged, and elderly Danyangzi could be heard simultaneously. I see, Taoist, I understand!! Hahaha


    Touch!! "With a loud explosion, Danyangzi''s entire deformed body instantly exploded. Blood and flesh splattered throughout the alchemy room.

 Chapter 22 Exit

    In the Qingfengguan alchemy room, Li Huowang, who was covered with the master''s blood, was stunned in place and obviously did not react. Are these three elixirs so powerful? Is it elixir or explosive that you and Danyangzi are refined?


    After lying on the ground for a long time, he got up, touched his face with his hand, and bent down to pick on the ground.


    When he picked it for a long time, he didn''t pick out a moving piece of meat, and even Danyangzi''s copper bell burst, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief. Danyangzi was really completely killed by himself.


    "But he is dead, but what am I going to do next?" Li Huowang stood where he was and didn''t know where to go for a moment.


    Li Huowang thought that he would be very happy after revenge, but when this moment really came, he found himself confused.


    All the plans these days revolve around killing Danyangzi. I didn''t expect to survive at all.


    Now that Danyangzi is dead, Bai Lingmiao is safe, and everything he promised has been done. What should I do next?


    Just as he was thinking about this question, the door of the alchemy room was suddenly pushed open. Changren and Changming raised their swords in one hand and walked in vigilantly.


    After looking left and right and finding that they could not find Danyangzi, they looked vigilantly at Li Huowang, who was blurred in flesh and blood, "Y! Where is the evil? Say it! Where''s our master?"


    "Master? You just stepped on your foot. In addition, I''m Xuanyang, the two brothers.


    This made Changren and Changming subconsciously bow their heads and raise their feet. Some internal organs appeared in front of them, and their pupils shrank to a very small instant.


    Li Huowang looked left and right and picked up half of Danyangzi''s face from the ground. "Look, he is really dead."


    "It was killed by me." Li Huowang talked to himself to them.


    "Regically, he has been murderous all his life and should have died a long time ago, but I didn''t kill him because of this. I killed him with a personal grudge.


    Just as Li Huowang was about to explain the reason why he did this to the two people in front of him, Changming and Changren looked at each other without saying a word. They quickly inserted the sword into the scabbard and quickly turned around and rushed out of the door.


    "Hey, I''ll leave when I''m done." Li Huowang shouted to them helplessly.


    After shouting for a long time without any response, Li Huowang, who smiled bitterly, covered his stomach and walked towards the door.


    "The toad''s head is dead! He is dead! Come out, you can go home!!" Li Huowang shook the withered copper bell in his hand and shouted loudly around.


    Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year. The harsh bell did not attract any wanderer, but to the children and medicine.


    When they saw the half of the face in Li Huowang''s hand, they fell to the ground and worshiped in all directions.


    Li Huowang walked slowly along the tunnel of the cave, and he wanted to convey the news to everyone''s ears of Qingfengguan.


    More and more people joined his team and began to shout with him, "The toad is dead!" He is dead! We can go home!"


    Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    Just then, Li Huowang felt someone beside him reaching out to help him. He turned his head and found that it was Bai Lingmiao with tears of joy.


    Li Huowang smiled at her, raised the half of Danyangzi''s face and waved hard. The toad is dead. You can all go home for the Spring Festival! You can all go home!"


    "Uh-huh! Brother Li! You can also go home! We can all go home!"


    Li Huowang''s expression stiffened, and then continued to dance the copper bell in his hand with his greatest strength, and roared loudly with his best strength: "Danyangzi is dead!" They will all come out! You can go home!!"


    However, not everyone in the whole Qingfengguan was so happy. Just when Li Huowang walked near Danyangzi''s house, he heard the sound of gold and stone coming out of the distance.


    Li Huowang walked over with everyone. In Danyangzi''s dirty residence, he could see that Xuanyuan was confronting Changming Changren. Both sides took out their weapons, and the atmosphere was very tense.


    Li Huowang looked at the so-called heavenly book entangled in black lines of copper coins and naturally understood what they were fighting for.


    "Brother Xuanyang! Come on! We killed these two accomplices of Danyangzi together! Let''s share this fairy book together!" Xuanyuan, who was no longer easy-going, persuaded Li Huowang.


    Changming''s right foot beside him stepped forward and directly pointed the sword at Li Huowang at the door. I don''t want to get out of here! The master taught you how to practice Dandao! On this occasion, do you really feel that you have dealt with the two of us who practiced Kendo?


    Li Huowang sighed and looked at the scene in front of him helplessly. That''s not a fairy book at all, okay? It''s just an ancient scripture. What I said before was made up to deceive the toad head.


    "Don''t trust the nonsense of the toad too much. This guy is full of nonsense. What the old gentleman gave it himself? According to his character, it may be where he killed people and robbed the goods. Three brothers, let''s go.


    Changming Changren clamped his fingers in his left hand, and two black runes touched his sword, and the whole room suddenly felt cloudy.


    "Brother Xuanyang, since you don''t want to get involved, don''t talk nonsense. You go."


    "Brother Xuanyang, since you don''t want to get involved, don''t talk nonsense. You go."


    Changming Changren raised his sword and said with one voice.


    Feeling Bai Lingmiao pulling his Taoist robe timidly with his fingers, Li Huowang arched his hands to both sides and took everyone to the hole of Qingfengguan. Those three brothers, then you go on, and we will have a future.


    When Li Huowang carefully checked it, it began to ring inside.


    In the dark tunnel, a group of returnees walked excitedly and excitedly, and everyone''s hands with oil lamp trembled.


    This tunnel is very strange and rugged. From time to time, it has to climb with a rope. Li Huowang''s memory has never come.


    But he clearly knew that this was the exit of the breeze, because he saw that the hands of others around him trembled more and more.


    After walking for almost two columns of incense, light began to shine in the distance of the cave tunnel. When I saw the light, everyone''s pace began to mess up. At first, it changed from walking to running.


    As I ran, the light in the distance became bigger and bigger, and finally included everyone''s vision.


    At the moment they got out of the hole, almost everyone narrowed their eyes. After living in the cave for so long, the outside was too bright for them.


    When the eyes gradually adapt to the light, the scenery outside the breeze is presented in front of everyone.


    The sky in the distance has just revealed the white belly of the fish, and the forest in the distance is pure and refreshing, like a faint ink painting.


    At this time, the first ray of morning light on the first day of the Lunar New Year shines through the mist and hit everyone''s faces.


    Li Huowang squinted at the sunrise in the sky and muttered to himself, "Have I stayed in the alchemy room with my head all night?" It''s sunny. It''s a nice day today.


    Suddenly, someone moved next to him. It was a boy. With tears on his face, his feet quickly swung his head and rushed to a path that disappeared into the forest next to him.


    His running had a herd effect, and more and more people began to run there. They wanted to run far away from this sad place.


    After a while, there were only No. 278 people in the material room at the entrance of the cave. At this time, they looked at Li Huowang.


    "Brother Li, let''s go too." Bai Lingmiao, who had tears on his face, smiled happily at this time.


    "Wait a minute." Li Huowang said, taking out some notes from his pocket. It was stuffed into Bai Lingmiao''s arms." These are the last words and addresses left by the dead medicine. After you go out, find a dart to take them there by the way.


    Bai Lingmiao held the notes in both hands and was at a loss for a moment.


    Li Huowang smiled at the rest of the people again, turned around with the oil lamp in his hand, and walked in alone towards the dark breeze.

 Chapter 23 Home

    "Brother Li!" Bai Lingmiao''s crying cry made Li Huowang turn around with a lantern in the dark and look at the others standing in the sun outside the door.


    He waved to them again, "Let''s go, go home."


    "Brother Li, then you come with us. It''s safer to walk together on the road. Have you forgotten to take anything?" Zhao Wu, lying on the fool''s back, said that he looked a little nervous and seemed to feel something wrong.


    "Ha ha, where are we going together?" Li Huowang turned around and hid his face in the dark again.


    "Go home for the Spring Festival together, Brother Li, where is your house?"


    Li Huowang smiled silently in the dark and began to walk around with a lantern." Home? I don''t have a home now. I can''t go back to my home for a long time!"


    Li Huowang walked silently in the dark. At this time, the view of the breeze was very quiet, and the only one accompanying him was his footsteps.


    Suddenly, Li Huowang began to hum, his steps began to get up briskly, and the oil lamp in his hand swayed left and right rhythmically.


    Accompanied by his singing, Li Huowang returned to his residence. He closed the door and put the oil lamp on the table. He didn''t even bother to wipe the blood on his face. He slowly lay on the stone bed and closed his eyes.


    "Today is the first day of the lunar new year. I didn''t eat that disgusting black Taisui this month. I should see Yang Na again soon, right?" Thinking of this, the corners of Li Huowang''s mouth rose slightly.


    He waited quietly, waiting for his best childhood sweetheart to take himself back to his world.


    Li Huowang''s consciousness, who hadn''t slept all night, began to dissipate, but just as he was about to fall into a beautiful dream, the door suddenly opened.


    Li Huowang sat up rubbing his eyes and found the dog baby Zhao Wu standing at the door.


    Bai Lingmiao stood there nervously, and his eyes dodged for a while and finally stammered down.


    "Brother Li, if you can''t go home, come to my house. My house is very spacious, and the east wing is also empty..."


    Li Huowang looked at the kind girl in front of him and shook his head slightly. "It''s also good here. I''m used to it."


    A madman who speaks to himself can only stay in a dark place here and won''t scare others.


    Bai Lingmiao''s lips trembled slightly. It seems a little incredible about Li Huowang''s words.


    "I have a family, and I have a family, but..." Li Huowang looked up at the dark roof with a complicated expression and began to think about something.


    Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.


    After thinking for a while, the dog boy whispered at the others, "Since Brother Li said he wanted to stay here?" Why don''t we go?"


    "Shut up!" Bai Lingmiao''s words made the dog baby shocked, unlike the submissive little girl in the past.


    Bai Lingmiao quickly got up and came forward with a very stubborn expression, "Are you so worthy of your family? What would their former family think if they knew you were like this?"


    There was a bitter smile on Li Huowang''s face, "What do they think and how do I know? I''m not sure whether they really exist!!"


    "I may be just a lunatic who has nothing. I have nothing. Everything is completely fantasized about." Li Huowang''s expression became very painful.


    Bai Lingmiao''s white and almost transparent hands stretched out and held Li Huowang''s hand. Brother Li, you don''t have everything. You still have us."


    Li Huowang looked at the girl in front of him in a daze and at her stubborn and delicate face.


    For a moment, he found that he knew little about the girl in front of him. "Why is she so kind to me?"


    Suddenly, everything around began to change, and the cave began to switch from the white walls of the hospital.


    Bai Lingmiao''s facial features began to melt and recondense into Yang Na. She was full of worries when she was full of tears.


    "Nana!" Li Huowang rushed over and hugged her with an extremely painful expression.


    "Fire, you can''t give up on yourself. You have to live. No matter what you encounter, you must live well, okay?" Yang Na''s voice trembled.


    "You have to stick to it. No matter what happens to you, never lie down."


    Then the face turned into his mother''s face again." Son, you can''t die. If you die, how can I live with the old man!!"


    The face changed rapidly, and all kinds of people Li Huowang knew appeared, cheering him up.


    Suddenly, everything around quickly calmed down, and the bright ward quickly dimmed.


    Li Huowang slowly loosened his hug and found that he was holding Bai Lingmiao.


    The girl who was hugged at this time was obviously a little shy, but her eyes did not dodge." Brother Li, let''s go. I feel uncomfortable staying in this place.


    Then, she took out the notes from her purse and put them in his arms. "Brother Li, it''s useless for you to give me these. We don''t know anything."


    "Yes, Brother Li, you have to do this. Others can''t do it." Others were also helping at the door.


    "I...I...I admit..." As soon as the fool said this, Zhao Wu covered his mouth. He leaned to the fool''s ear and said, "Even if you know the word, you will pretend that you don''t know it!"


    Li Huowang silently looked at the last words written by the people in front of him and didn''t know what he was thinking.


    Bai Lingmiao pushed his hands forward and pushed the notes forward a little further. Brother Li, you promised them in person that a man can''t go back to his promise.


    Reality and hallucinations kept changing in his mind, and finally Li Huowang stretched out his hand to take over the paper." Let''s go."


    Li Huowang decided to live as well as possible wherever he was, not only for himself, but also for those families who might exist and might not exist.


    As soon as he said this, everyone immediately smiled comfortably.


    They don''t know what Li Huowang thinks, but they just need to stay in this damn place.


    A group of people came out of the dark room with Li Huowang in their arms and were about to walk towards the entrance of the cave. However, just a few steps were left, Li Huowang shouted at them.


    "Wait, since you have decided to leave, you need to search this place. Fool, carry Zhao Wu, take others to the kitchen, and get some food you eat on the way. You can''t eat anything on the way."


    Then Li Huowang took Bai Lingmiao to the alchemy room to get some elixirs he knew. Li Huowang had been practicing elixir for some time. With these things, he was half a doctor. He didn''t know how far away he was from their house on the way. He was prepared.


    However, he only took what he knew. Li Huowang didn''t dare to touch other elixirs made by Danyangzi that he didn''t know.


    After the group met in the first hall, Li Huowang continued to say, "Wait a minute, I still have something to take." Li Huowang said, holding the lamp oil in his hand and carefully walked to the karst cave where Hei Taishou was imprisoned.

 Chapter 24 Expropriate

    Now that he is going out, of course, Li Huowang must suppress the illusion from appearing again, otherwise he will always be interspersed with the illusion with reality, and he can''t do anything well.


    If you want to suppress the hallucinations, the black Taisui raised by Danyangzi is the key.


    When a group of people came to the cave, they stopped. They saw that the black Taisui actually climbed out of the black tripod. This was the first time they saw the true appearance of Black Taisui.


    It was a large sticky giant stained with mucus black. The cover on the body looked like hair, but after careful examination, you will find that it was a dense dark slender tentacle, or immature filament.


    The whole body expands and shrinks freely like a huge maggot.


    There are still some openings on the bloated body, and with the squirming, there is a disgusting stench from it.


    This scene scared everyone. Their hands and feet were weak and they were almost about to turn around and run away.


    However, Li Huowang was keenly aware of a trace of something wrong. The black was too young and kept oozing black liquid under his body.


    "What''s going on? Is it related to Danyangzi''s life? Li Huowang''s heart kept sinking.


    Thinking of this, he ran out quickly. When he came back, he grabbed some of the wreckage of Danyangzi in his hand.


    Li Huowang rushed to Hei Taisui, knelt on one knee, carried the squirming rotten meat on the hard ground into his arms, and stuffed the wreckage in his hand into some cracks in Hei Taisui''s body.


    Fortunately, Li Huowang was not stuffed. Under one plug, more black water oozeed out of his body, and his body atrophied even smaller.


    At this time, Li Huowang''s face was full of anxiety, as if he was not a creeping black monster lying in his arms, but his sick child.


    In a hurry, he grabbed the sides of Hei Taisui and shook it gently. Hey, don''t scare me. What if you die?!"


    Hei Taisui has no response, and any organs on his body are no longer moving.


    Seeing that Hei Taisui was getting younger and younger, Li Huowang suddenly became fierce and opened his mouth and bit Hei Taisui hard.


    Li Huowang''s operation was really blinded by Bai Lingmiao and others. They could only stand still and watch Brother Li tear it up with a squirming monster in his arms.


    In their opinion, Li Huowang is more like a monster than Hei Taisui.


    The dog moved to Zhao Wu and whispered, "Why don''t''s go separately and stay with him? I''m really afraid that he will eat me when I sleep."


    Everyone began to look at Li Huowang with a trace of fear.


    The concentrated black Taisui meat is obviously tighter, and Li Huowang chews the tires.


    This novel''s true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.


    But at this time, he couldn''t take care of so much and swallowed it. No matter how much he ate, he could not keep up with Hei Taisui''s self-solving quickly. Before long, there was only a layer of black skin in Li Huowang''s arms.


    "Well, Brother Li, are you full? Can we leave when we are full? The dog asked carefully.


    Li Huowang regretted throwing this layer of fishy and smelly skin in his hand on the ground. He didn''t know how long it would take this time. He just hoped to find another black Tai Sui or other way between his hallucination came out.


    "I''ll change my clothes." The rest is basically worthless. As for the skills and secrets, don''t think about them. Danyangzi can''t read at all.


    Li Huowang took off his sticky robe. After changing to a new set of cyan robes, he suddenly felt refreshing all over.


    Li Huowang, who changed his clothes, walked to the door with others and explained to others why he did so.


    When they understood that Li Huowang wanted to suppress the hallucination with black Taisui meat, their hearts finally fell down secretly.


    "Hey, that''s the case. I''m still hungry for Brother Li." The dog was gag and laughed to ease the atmosphere.


    As he walked, there was a new fork on one side of the tunnel. Li Huowang stopped divincibly. At the end of the tunnel was Danyangzi''s residence. Would you like to go in and see how the three brothers are playing?


    Although I don''t want to pay attention to their dog biting the dog, if possible, he doesn''t want to appear a new Danyangzi.


    "Let''s go and have a look." Li Huowang walked there with a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled.


    When he came to the door, Li Huowang found that the door he had just closed had not been opened, which proved that no one came out inside.


    "Brother, have you finished the fight? Let''s go." Li Huowang shouted loudly to the room.


    After waiting for nothing, Li Huowang pushed open the door, and the pungent smell of blood came to his face, and a bloody palm appeared in front of everyone.


    Everyone''s eyes moved up, and a bloodier scene appeared in front of them. Xuanyuan died, and he died miserably. The body was almost split in half by the sword.


    Changren also died. He was stabbed behind him with a sword. Xuanyuan was practicing Lu, not a sword. Only his brother, Changming, could do it.


    Changming, who lived to the end, was still in a bad situation. After his body was penetrated by the black thread with copper coins, he sewed his whole wall. It seemed that he had triggered Danyangzi''s backhand.


    Changming did not die, and his eyes full of desire still stared at the so-called fairy book.


    "Cough...Cough~" Seeing Li Huowang coming in, Changming on the wall seemed to want to say something, but the copper coin that broke into his neck had completely cut off his trachea, so that he could not say anything.


    Li Huowang came to him, smiled at him, and bent down to pick up his sword.


    This is a meter-long sword. Under the illumination of the lamp oil, the blade looks very sharp against the cold light.


    After waving a few times with one hand, Li Huowang said to Changming, "Good sword, it seems that I can''t use this sword for the time being. Then I will use it first."


    "Although my younger brother is not a sword practitioner, it''s better to have an iron weapon in his hand when he goes out than to fist barely. Brother, you think so.


    Changming tried to indicate something with his eyes, but obviously Li Huowang couldn''t understand it at all.


    Li Huowang took the scabbard from the dead Changren and inserted the sword into it and carried it directly on his back.


    Then there is the most important highlight, Tianshu.


    Li Huowang turned around and walked to the heavenly book without any protection at this time.


    At this moment, Changming suddenly struggled violently. As he struggled, the copper coins on the black line became deeper and deeper. After a few times of struggle, the light in his eyes quickly dimmed.


    "Brother Li, Brother Changming is dead." The dog said in surprise with wide eyes.


    Li Huowang looked at the so-called heavenly book in front of him and sighed gently. It was such a thing that he didn''t know where it came from. How many people died because of it.


    Li Huowang raised his head closer again and watched it carefully. This time, it was more serious than under the pressure of Danyang Ziwei.


    However, after reading it several times, he still felt that this was just a scripture, half a guess, which seemed to be a scripture to persuade others to be kind.


    Li Huowang stepped back, and then stretched out one hand behind him and slowly pulled out his sword. "Beside the Headlines!" With a sound, the long iron-cut sword chopped heavily on the slate engraved with scriptures.

 Chapter 25 Linjian Road

    The impact of the sword with Tianshu made an extremely harsh friction, making the rest of the room subconsciously cover their ears and retreat for two steps.


    "I didn''t even cut a seal. Changming''s sword can''t do it. Isn''t he a sword practitioner? This sword should not be ordinary. After thinking about it for a few seconds with his sword, Li Huowang grabbed the hilt in both hands and rounded it and cut it again.


    After gritting his teeth several times in a row, the situation finally changed, but this change did not come from the so-called heavenly book, but from the long sword in Li Huowang''s hand.


    With the sound of "Dang~", the blade was divided from the impact, and the good long sword turned into a broken sword.


    Looking at the broken sword in his hand, Li Huowang was suddenly a little stunned. The weapon he had just got was gone.


    Looking left and right, Li Huowang quickly took a few steps and grabbed his sword from the dead Changren. Fortunately, there is a spare one."


    The long sword entered the sheath, and Li Huowang thought about what to do next around the book that day.


    He originally planned to destroy the so-called heavenly book, but now it seems that there is something in this heavenly book. It''s hard to say that it''s not a treasure.


    Now that you have made up your mind not to abandon yourself, such a valuable thing can''t be discarded at will." Anyway, take it first, and it''s okay to change some money for the pawnshop.


    As for the unrealistic idea of relying on this thing to become an immortal, Li Huowang has completely abandoned it. He has seen the end of the person who tried before, and he doesn''t want to be the next one.


    Li Huowang struggled to pick it up and weighed it. The slate weighed much heavier than he thought, but it was within the reach.


    After wrapping the slate in cloth, he carried it on his back. He said to the others waiting, "Let''s go, let''s get out of here."


    The lamp oil was thrown into the stinky cave of Danyangzi, and the tongue of fire spread on the ground along the lamp oil, igniting everything in the room that could be lit, including Changming Changren and Xuanyuan on the ground.


    The fire was so big that Li Huowang saw the scene in front of him that human bodies were natural burners.


    As they walked back along the same road, they gradually lit all the rooms. The burning flames swayed and began to gradually unite, burning everything in the breeze, and blackened everything here that could not burn.


    "Cough~" Thick smoke began to make others cough, and everyone''s pace began to accelerate.


    After the three pillars of incense, everyone stood in the sun and silently looked out at the clear breeze looking out the mouth of the cave.


    Thick smoke swayed up, wrapping all the darkness and evil in the breeze, disappearing into the bright sky.


    Li Huowang, who looked up, smiled again, carried a long sword and slate on his back, turned around and walked to the forest path in the distance. Let''s go."

    Others with grain on their backs followed one after another. Unconsciously, Li Huowang has become their leader.


    Looking at the wood path approaching in the distance, Li Huowang''s mood was no longer low at this moment.


    "Ah, this place looks strange. I don''t know what kind of people and what kind of things I will meet in the future. Suddenly, I''m looking forward to it."


    The sun shone on his face, sucking fresh air, and his mood began to change to the good side.


    "Brother Li, slow down. My eyes hurt."


    Li Huowang turned his head and looked, and then he found that Bai Lingmiao covered his eyes in the sun.


    He walked over, held her face and looked carefully. He was surprised to find that he could see the blood vessels behind her eyes from the center of her pupil. Pink was the color of dark red blood vessels illuminated by light.


    "This...it should be some kind of defect, right?" Li Huowang guessed in his heart.


    He is not a medical practitioner who doesn''t understand this, but he guessed something, because Li Huowang remembers that most of the elderly albinisms of fortune-telling massage are blind.


    It seems that Bai Lingmiao''s disease will make the eyes defective, much more fragile than ordinary people''s eyes.


    This doesn''t work. Li Huowang cut a strip of cloth from the hem of his cyan Taoist robe and gently blindfolded Bai Lingmiao''s eyes. In the future, as long as it comes out of the sun, you will be blindfolded.


    "But... so I can''t see it."


    "It''s okay. I''ll pull you." Li Huowang grabbed Bai Lingmiao''s soft right hand and strode to the woods with others.


    After staggering a few times, Bai Lingmiao trotted with Li Huowang.


    ¡ª¡ª


    "Dododo~" Lv Zhuangyuan, who was full of folds, knocked hard on the box with his dry smoke pipe pole.


    After knocking out all the black tobacco that was stuck inside, he took out the new tobacco from the cigarette bag and put it in and lit it with a firebox.


    After taking a good sip, he shouted to the woods in the direction of the horse''s head, "Child, are you all right?"


    "It''s almost there!" There was a teenager''s response over there.


    "The lazy donkey pulls shit and urinates a lot. It''s so slow to pull shit. I don''t know that I still think I treated you badly and let you eat Guanyin soil." While smoking dry smoke, Lv Zhuangyuan arranged his youngest son with dissatisfaction.


    He looked behind the car and looked at the whole troupe on the woods path. Except for a carriage with costumes and musical instrument boxes.


    There are also his eldest son''s family of three, and the two distant nephews brought out of the village. Although the team is small, these are all the houses he has finally saved over the years.


    It is with this small troupe that they can make their whole family full during this bad year.


    "Dad, drink water to eat steamed buns." Lv Juren handed food and water hyacinth to his father.


    "What to eat, what you don''t have to eat! Is it picked up in vain? Do you know the price of food now? Your daughter is two years old, and you still think you are a little doll! Why are you so ignorant!"


    He was scolded for covering his face. Lv Juren was not annoyed. He smiled and stepped back and asked his daughter-in-law to put away the things in her hand.


    "How''s it going? Have you been scolded again? You are a bitch. Look for scolding. Luo Sihua put the food back in the car and teased her baby daughter sitting in the box with her fingers.


    "If you scold twice, you won''t lose a piece of meat. If you scold it, just scold it. Since my mother died, my father''s temper has been like this."


    "Well, housekeeper, what I told you last night, did you tell Dad?"


    "Let''s talk about it later. I haven''t been there recently, and Dad is short of money." When it comes to this topic, Lv Juren''s face was bitter.


    "Tut! Don''t you even have the money for your granddaughter to buy cloth to make clothes? She is wearing all costumes now.


    "Drama clothes...actually, it''s also..."


    "Ah, ah! Ghost!!!" A frightened scream interrupted the conversation between the two couples and suddenly strained the atmosphere of the whole troupe.


    Before long, others saw that a bare-assed teenager rushed out of the woods and rushed into Lv Zhuangyuan''s arms.


    "What the hell! Where did the ghost come from in broad daylight? Put on your trousers quickly!"


    Although Lv Zhuangyuan scolded his youngest son, he still blocked Lv Xiucai behind him, clenched the cigarette pole in his hand, and looked at Lin Zi''s direction with vigilance.


    The figure inside shook, and it seemed that someone was coming.

 Chapter 26 Scary

    "There is... there is... there is... there is shit!"


    "I''m not blind. Don''t lean forward. Are you going to eat? Say you''re stupid, but you''re not stupid enough.


    "Don''t talk, there''s someone on the way."


    "Hey hey, listen to you, Brother Li."


    Before long, Lv Zhuangyuan saw those people coming out of the woods.


    When he saw what those people looked like, Lv Zhuangyuan suddenly took a cold breath. No wonder the youngest son just now said there was a ghost, which was too scary.


    A thin woman with black and white hair, a strange man lying on his back, and even a face full of hair.


    Lv Zhuangyuan, who went south and north, was also well-informed, but he was still frightened by the scene in front of him.


    "Dad, I''m afraid." Lu Xiucai kept shrinking back, as if he wanted to shrink his body behind her father as much as possible.


    "Aren''t you afraid of me?" Lv Zhuangyuan scolded his youngest son in his heart. If it hadn''t been for the normal appearance of a handsome Taoist priest and a few Taoist boys in this group, I''m afraid he would have turned around and run away.


    Lv Zhuangyuan bowed tremblingly to Li Huowang. Dare to ask this Taoist master, that... are these all the monsters of your surrender?"


    As soon as he said this, he suddenly gained a lot of hostile eyes.


    "What did the old man say? Begging, right? Who is weird?


    Lv Zhuangyuan saw that the handsome Taoist priest waved his hand to stop the aggressive black-and-white-faced monster, and he confirmed his thoughts in his heart.


    "This father-in-law, ask me, where does this road lead?"


    "Wuligang! In front of you is Wuligang, not far away. Ha ha ha."


    After saying this, Lv Zhuangyuan secretly scalded the horse''s buttocks with dry smoke in his hand. The horse hissed and pulled the box and ran down the forest path.


    "Oh! My horse! My horse! Keep up." Lv Zhuangyuan chased the horse with others pretending to be anxious.


    They ran so fast that they left those things behind in a while.


    This ran for an hour. Seeing that his youngest son was running and vomiting, Lv Zhuangyuan whistled to stop the horse.


    After stopping, he didn''t care about his youngest son, but went to see how the horse pulling the cart was as soon as possible. In this troupe, the horse was more expensive than people.


    At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, and it''s almost night.


    "My dear mother, what the hell are those things? It scared me to death. Lv Juren, who was sweaty, gasped.


    Lv Zhuangyuan kicked him, "Didn''t you watch it dark? Go to the woods and find some firewood!"


    Stolen story; please report.


    By the woods path, a warm fire pile rose and was sent to everyone''s mouth by soft miscellaneous grain steamed buns. The sweetness of grain sootheed their frightened hearts.


    "Looking at your fear, what''s wrong with going out and encountering some evil things? The more like this time, the less you can''t panic. I''ll tell you." Lu Zhuangyuan said to others.


    "Dad, those are not strange. I think they look like human beings, and the little Taoist priest still calls you father-in-law."


    Hearing his daughter-in-law say this, Lv Zhuangyuan shook the water hyacinth in his hand.


    "No matter what he is, let''s not get involved. You all remember it. If you go out, you want to live longer. As long as you can avoid something, don''t mess with it."


    This is said to be Lv Zhuangyuan''s philosophy of life. Anyway, relying on this point, he lived so old.


    And he also intends to teach this to his youngest son and eldest son. After all, when he gets old, the troupe will have to rely on them to take over.


    Handing the water gourd in his hand to his nephew beside him, Lv Zhuangyuan looked at his granddaughter lying in the arms of his daughter-in-law.


    Looking at her grinding a small piece of steamed bread with her newly grown deciduous teeth, the more Lv Zhuangyuan looked at it, the more happy she became.


    He turned around and took out a salted duck egg from a round jar in the car. After carefully opened a opening, he sent the oily egg yolk to his granddaughter''s mouth. Come on, daughter, suck this, it smells good."


    Looking at his granddaughter sucking hard, Lv Zhuangyuan''s eyes suddenly narrowed into a thread with a smile.


    Although it''s a pity that he is not a grandson, after all, he is still rare for this little granddaughter.


    Feeling that this was a good opportunity, Luo Shehua immediately opened her mouth and said, "Dad, look, Cuier is so old. Should she have clothes?" It''s not a problem to wear a costume every day.


    As soon as he heard his daughter-in-law mention Qian, Lv Zhuangyuan''s smiling face immediately disappeared, and his facial features were wrinkled together.


    He was about to refuse, but when he saw the loose costume on his little granddaughter, his heart softened again.


    He took a few sipes of dry smoke with more pleats on his face. He walked to the car and took out a long copper lock to open the box.


    After groping in it for a long time, he counted fifty copper coins.


    "Don''t go to the town to buy cloth. It''s expensive. When you arrive in Wuligang in two days, ask which woman weaves cloth. Go to their house to buy a few feet. Remember to ask a few more companies and find the cheapest one to sell."


    "Also, remember to buy cotton cloth and don''t buy linen. Xiuer''s skin is tender, and it''s uncomfortable to buy linen."


    "I know." Luo Silk took over the copper coin with a smile. She thought it would be very good to buy sackcloth, but she didn''t expect that the iron rooster crowed this time.


    The child is small and doesn''t need much cloth to make clothes. Maybe he can button it down this time.


    When he saw his granddaughter eating the egg yolk clean, Lv Zhuangyuan gave the remaining egg whites to the adults.


    Although there is not much difference between one person, he still ate happily after tasting a little salty taste, which was not easy to open meat.


    It was already dark, and there was nothing to do after dinner. Listening to Lv Zhuangyuan telling a few old stories that I didn''t know where he heard, he was going to bed.


    The person who guarded the middle of the night today was Lv Juren. After walking for a day today, Lv Juren was already very tired, but he still stared at the fire in front of him. Don''t let it go out.


    "Sh, go to bed. I''m staring at it." Lv Zhuangyuan sat next to his son and began to patter again and began to smoke dry smoke.


    Lv Juren said to Hache, "Dad, I''m not sleepy. Go to bed."


    "Don''t say anything, go to bed quickly. My old man sleeps less.


    Just as the two quarreled in front of the bonfire, Lv Zhuangyuan suddenly covered his son''s mouth with his hand and pointed his fingers to the dark forest in the distance.


    "Hee hee~" A sharp and thin woman''s laughter suddenly sounded on their right side.


    Lv Zhuangyuan looked subconsciously with his son, but he couldn''t see anything except the darkness.


    "Hee hee~ You said, I look like a man or a god?" The dark woods began to shake, as if something was coming out.


    Lv Zhuangyuan was suddenly scared in a cold sweat. He knew that something was asking for his mouth.


    You can''t answer it randomly. If you answer wrong, you may have a broken family.


    But now the question is, what on earth is asking for it from yourself in the forest?


    At night, the forest swayed rhythmically and made a strange rustling sound.

 Chapter 27 Evil Gate

    "Hee hee, do you think, am I like a man or a god?"


    The things in the wood kept shaking the branches, and the sound became thinner and thinner.


    "You look like a person! You look like a person! Weird grandpa, our family is all hard-working people, just come out and eat!"


    The frightened Lv Zhuangyuan couldn''t care about the rest. He quickly crawled on the ground and kowtowed to the forest.


    With a knock, he suddenly stopped, because at the edge of the forest, he saw a pair of small feet with embroidered shoes standing there with two cones.


    When his neck was cold, he slowly raised his head in consternation and saw a small-footed woman wearing a brand-new cotton-padded jacket standing alone.


    Her big face was very white, but her mouth was extremely small, and her eyes did not blink like black beads set on her face.


    The whole white face was hidden in the dark, like a small airbag floating in mid-air.


    "Hee hee, do you think I look like a human?" The little-footed woman covered her mouth and smiled, and her slender little feet began to approach the bonfire.


    When he saw the woman walking around and her body twisted like without any bones, the last glimmer of hope in Lv Zhuangyuan''s heart was completely extinguished. This was true!


    "Thin baby!! Son of a bitch! Stop going to bed! Spread the boy''s pee!!" Lv Zhuangyuan''s fearful crying woke up others.


    A lit firewood was stirred up by the frightened Lv Juren and threw it over hard.


    However, the attack had no effect, and firewood penetrated directly through the woman''s body.


    Seeing the little-footed woman approaching the fire, her body suddenly stiffened and her head suddenly twisted towards the forest in the east.


    The branches shook, and Li Huowang and others came out of it with several glowing fluorite in their hands.


    "Huh?" At this time, Bai Lingmiao, who had taken off the cloth strip, found some clues. Brother Li, look, this woman is really evil! She doesn''t have a back of her head. She has a face on both sides!"


    "Behind!" With a sound, the sword came out of its sheath, and Li Huowang looked at the extremely strange little-footed woman in the distance with vigilance. What are you?"


    "Hee hee, I''m a human being. Don''t I like it?" After the extremely slender voice sounded, the little-footed woman twisted her slender body like a centipede and began to move close to the target.


    Naturally, it was impossible for Li Huowang to sit and wait for him to die. At that time, he immediately took out his left hand, and a withered bell appeared in his hand.


    If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road. Please report it.


    The harsh bell rang, and everyone present, including Li Huowang himself, covered their heads with a painful expression.


    Li Huowang did not stop and continued to shake hard, because he saw that everything was twisting violently in his sight, including the little-footed woman.


    Under the shaking, her brand-new cotton-padded jacket began to crack, and some black air was constantly emerging from the inside.


    This copper bell works on this woman!


    Suddenly, the little-footed woman screamed, and the crazily collapsed body retreated to the woods. After a while, she disappeared in front of Li Huowang.


    The bell gradually stopped, and Li Huo looked down at the bell in his hand. Although I didn''t recruit the traveler, I didn''t expect you to have such a use.


    I don''t know if it was smashed or for other reasons. Although Li Huowang got Danyangzi''s Taoist bell, every time he shakes the bell, the lines around him are swaying, and he did not condense into Master You as before.


    The more he sees in the world, the more confused he is. What the hell is this mess?


    "Tor, master! Thank you for your help! I really don''t know Mount Tai. Come and come and burn the fire.


    Lv Zhuangyuan, who was grateful, came up and pulled Li Huowang to the bonfire very enthusiastically.


    Compared with the thing just now, the monsters behind this Taoist master are undoubtedly much better-faced. After all, there is a Taoist master who is calm. These things are at most scary at most. That thing just now will really kill people.


    "Oh! This damn beast! If it hadn''t suddenly escaped like a plague, how could I neglect the master?" Lv Zhuangyuan took out the cigarette pole and knocked on the saddle.


    After a few strokes, he turned around and shouted, "Well, silk flowers, hurry up, bake steamed buns and get water!" Take the top white-faced bun! Take three more...no! Five salted duck eggs!!"


    Lv Zhuangyuan was suddenly so enthusiastic that Li Huowang was really a little uncomfortable. Uncle, don''t bother. Can I ask you a few questions?"


    "Ask! Just ask! Xiao Dao Ye just saved the lives of our family! Ha ha, you can ask anything!" Lv Zhuangyuan patted his chest and agreed.


    It seemed that he was not enthusiastic enough. He stuffed the cigarette stick into his chicken coop and pulled it a few times, rekindled it, and held it to Li Huowang with flattering hands.


    "Well... Thank you, my father-in-law. I don''t smoke. Do you know what happened to us just now? What''s its name?" Li Huowang opened the grouted dry smoke pole with his hand.


    He knows nothing about the world at present. If he wants to live safely, he must know as much as possible.


    Lv Zhuangyuan was obviously stunned, "What? This... How do I know, Master Taoist, didn''t you drive away the sealed thing? You don''t know?"


    Looking at his doubtful eyes, Li Huowang found that he had asked a mistake. The old man may not know much about this.


    "I heard you say that children''s peeing can hurt the thing just now?"


    "Uh-huh!! For sure! Those things are afraid of dirt! I heard that blowing your nose is also effective. To say that the most effective thing is that it must be a child urine. This thing is the most masculine and dirt.


    "Really? Father-in-law, have you used it before?"


    Lv Zhuangyuan, who had just been asked by Li Huowang. He smiled and his eyes dodged a little. Maybe it''s useful. That''s what the old people in the village spread like this. Since everyone says so, it''s definitely not wrong."


    Li Huowang sighed helplessly. Why was it handed down from his ancestors again? Are the people here so backward in teaching experience?


    "Well, my father-in-law, then I''ll ask what you know. Have you encountered a lot about such things?"


    "No, how can this kind of evil thing happen every day? I really want to come like this every night. I have already sold my house and took my son back to plow the field." Lv Zhuangyuan put the dry smoke in his mouth and puffed.


    "Old man, I have been out for so many years, and I have only met four times."


    "So that''s the case..." Li Huowang looked at the dark forests around him and had a new understanding of the world.


    After staying with Danyangzi for a long time, he thought that there was something like Black Taisui outside, and now it doesn''t seem to be the case at all.


    Ordinary people have heard of these things, but they are far away.

 Chapter 28 Lu Jiaban

    "Oh! I''m not afraid of this kind of thing. You just need to get together more people when you go out. Lv Zhuangyuan told Li Huowang about his experience.


    "Oh? There are so many people that I dare not do those things?


    "Where!" Lv Zhuangyuan put on the good tobacco again and continued to smoke. "How many people can it eat? If you really meet it, it''s enough to run faster than others. If you''re worried about these, it''s better to be careful of the loud horses who rob money to kill people and the big insects in the forest.


    Li Huowang didn''t know it was time to pick it up for a while, and he didn''t seem to be able to chat with him.


    "Come on, the steamed bun is ready. Eat it while it''s hot." Several scorched white steamed buns skewered with branches were sent over by silk flowers.


    Li Huowang took it and handed it to the boy beside him. He picked them up halfway.


    As soon as these guys saw that they could leave the breeze, they didn''t care about anything, so they rushed out directly. There was no follow-up consideration at all.


    When I met them on the road, I was about to faint.


    At the same door, Li Huowang couldn''t really look at them, so he took them all with him by the way.


    When I saw some hot food, others were not polite. I was really a little hungry so late that I grabbed it and ate it.


    Looking at the stupid one by one, the corners of Lv Zhuangyuan''s eyes were pumped. These are all white-faced buns. I was usually reluctant to eat them. If I had known it, I wouldn''t be so generous.


    At this moment, Li Huowang''s words made him care about the pain." Uncle, do you have a map? To be honest, we are not locals. We are a little confused walking in the woods here. I don''t know where it is.


    Yes, Li Huowang got lost before. There were the same forest everywhere. He couldn''t determine his position at all. He didn''t get what to ask others.


    They come from all over the world and say that their home is at which end, but they can''t tell where they are now.


    In order to hide people''s eyes and ears, it seems that Danyangzi is not looking for medicine nearby.


    "What? Map? No, but I know all the roads here. Where are you going? Ask me!"


    "Well, there are many places. You always look at which place is closest to it." Li Huowang took out a lot of notes from his cuffs.


    "What? What does this say? Lv Zhuangyuan pulled the note far away, piled up the pleats on his face, and looked hard.


    Although his name is Champion, if he is really the champion, he won''t come out to sing.


    Lu Zhuangyuan can read, but he doesn''t know much. Under Li Huowang''s translation, he finally understood all the above addresses.


    The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    At least it''s an old class owner who has been going south and north for so many years. Among other things, Lv Zhuangyuan still knows a lot about geography.


    However, if he knows where these places are, it does not mean that Li Huowang can go there easily.


    "Well, why do you even have the State of Liang? Wasn''t this the war with the State of Qi a few years ago?"


    Lv Zhuangyuan squatted down, scratched on the ground with the head of a dry smoke pole, and a simple map was presented in front of Li Huowang.


    If you use one sentence to describe the map he drew, it is a big cake that fell to the ground and the whole thing fell to pieces.


    At this time, their position is in the upper left corner of the big cake, moving from left to right, and all kinds of countries, large and small, are intertwined with each other.


    "It looks a bit like the past five dynasties and ten countries, and there was no great reunification." Li Huowang looked at the map on the ground and said secretly in his heart.


    Although he had no hope, when he saw the map, he was sure that he was really not crossing to an ancient dynasty, but a more special place.


    "Old man, I rushed to the field and ran north of this boundary. I know this area, but when I go abroad, I really can''t figure out where to go. I heard that the play they sang was different from ours.


    When Bai Lingmiao heard this, her heart tightened. Her house was in Niu Xinshan, Liang Guo, and it sounded that her home was far away from here.


    Li Huowang keenly felt her strangeness and had a stable look with her." Don''t panic."


    Lv Zhuangyuan looked at the strange dozen people in front of him, and his thoughts suddenly rose again because of fear.


    "Well, this little Taoist priest, you see, there is a Jianye Town on your note, and our Lv family class happens to be on the way!"


    "Hey hey, why don''t we have a shift?"


    "Jianye Town? Who is this?" Li Huowang looked for the note.


    "Brother Li, my family is in Jianye Town." Zhao Wu, who was next to him, suddenly said.


    "And there is also a dart bureau in the town. You just need to give them money, and Nanping''s notes can be delivered to them."


    Hearing this, Li Huowang did not hesitate to stuff the paper back into his arms. Well, my father-in-law, I still rely on you to show the way along the way. Let''s go to Jianye together.


    Whether it''s map information or anything else, it''s a little unconvincing to rely on the side of the old class owner.


    Whether it''s looking for Black Taisui, who can suppress his hallucinations, or sending letters to others, go to the place where the information flows in town first, and the food is almost eaten.


    And if possible, Li Huowang also wants to find the so-called decendence of famous family.


    In such a dangerous place, it''s really impossible without strength. Anyone can ravage it at will. I don''t want to be caught by another Danyangzi at will.


    Smiling Lv Zhuangyuan waved his hand repeatedly, "Oh, hey, you''re welcome. You can talk wherever you want."


    That''s what he said, but Lv Zhuangyuan was happy. With such a master beside him, this is a free dart master!


    On this trip, at least the white-faced buns and five salted duck eggs were just earned back.


    "Ha~" The fool beside him hit a big Hachee. He was full and wanted to go to bed.


    Seeing other people''s eyes blurred, Lv Zhuangyuan stood up knowingly. I talked about the second update without paying attention, Xiao Dao, then rest first. I''ll watch the night.


    "No, I''d better watch the vigil today." Li Huowang is not really polite, it''s just a precaution.


    After tossing around for so long, everyone was tired. Two groups of people of different destinations fell into dreams around the warm bonfire, while Li Huowang, who sat there alone, looked silent with Lv Zhuangyuan.


    The next morning, Li Huowang was woken up by a dog baby guarding in the middle of the night. Brother Li, the theater team are packing up.


    "Let''s go, let''s go." Li Huowang, carrying a sword and slate, stood up and followed the footsteps of the troupe with others.


    As soon as I got on the road, the two sides were obviously a little restrained. No one spoke. From time to time, they peeked at a few times and whispered something with their companions.


    However, this does not include the leader Li Huowang and Lv Zhuangyuan. Along the way, the two chatted happily.


    Li Huowang wants to get more about here from Lv Zhuangyuan, and Lv Zhuangyuan wants to get closer to the master. Anyway, don''t spend money on beautiful words. It''s no harm to say a few more words.


    "Oh, Master Xiao Dao, the grade is so powerful that there is no limit to future achievements. Hahaha."
