The mess on the ground was glaring. The flames in the alchemist’s eyes were surging and almost set his eyebrows on fire.
“B*stards, what are you doing!”
The alchemist with a handlebar mustache trembled and roared angrily.
At this time, the Bai family’s brothers were shocked and awakened by the cry. Their eyes gradually regained clarity.
“What happened, Alchemist Master?”
Bai Chi asked in confusion, “What exactly happened just now?” He wondered, ‘Why does the alchemist look so angry?’
They still did not understand what they had done.
The muscles on the alchemist’s face kept shaking. “You b*stards still dare to play dumb!”
He took a step forward and arrived beside the 2 brothers in the blink of an eye.
“Bang, bang!”
The brothers flew backward and crashed into the ground.
“Look at what you’ve done!”
The Bai family’s brothers fell to the ground. Their bodies were in immense pain, but they looked at the ground in shock. How could there be so many Qi-replenishing Pills on the ground? How could these bottles be broken?
They were shocked, and they hurriedly took a look in their interspatial bags. Their eyes were filled with fear.
The medicine bottles in their interspatial bags had disappeared, and the ones on the ground were… Thinking of this, they were dumbfounded and had a creepy feeling.
“Now you remember!” The alchemist’s beard was shaking in anger.
The brothers were completely struck dumb. They simply could not understand why this happened. Why were the medicine bottles from their interspatial bags broken?
“Sir, please listen to our explanation.”
Bai Chi understood the seriousness of the matter and hurriedly said.
“Explanation?!”
The alchemist snorted coldly. His eyes were burning with anger. The Qi-replenishing Pills that he had worked hard for an entire day to refine had been destroyed by these b*stards. Now, they still wanted to explain to him. What else could they explain after he had seen it with his own eyes?
“Go and explain to the Law Enforcement Department.” The man with the mustache waved his hand and turned around to leave.
The 2 brothers lay on the ground weakly, feeling as if they had no strength left in their bodies.
“What should we do? What should we do?”
“We’re dead meat. We’re doomed.”
The 2 of them had been very happy when the alchemist had agreed to help them teach Ou Yangming a lesson. They had not expected to encounter such a thing in the blink of an eye.
“Big Brother, what do you think happened to us just now?” Bai He touched his swollen face and looked at the messy ground. He asked in fear.
“How would I know? We must’ve seen a ghost!” Bai Chi lay on the ground. He was in complete despair.
In the darkness of the night, Ou Yangming withdrew his gaze and walked toward another alchemy room. Just now, it was he who had secretly attacked them. When he heard the 2 of them slander him in front of the alchemy master, he intended to give them an unforgettable lesson.
This lesson would surely be very unforgettable.
Ou Yangming’s mental power was incomparably powerful and was countless levels stronger than that of the brothers. He could easily toy with them with just a little illusion. They would never know that he had plotted against them behind their backs.
Good and evil were rewarded. Everything was a cycle. If the heavens did not punish them, Ou Yangming would punish them himself.
The brothers were certainly finished. Even if their legs were not broken, they would lose the trust of the alchemists and would not be able to cause trouble for Ou Yangming anymore.
With a step, Ou Yangming once again came to the outside of another alchemy room.
The alchemist in this alchemy room was not bad. He was a Venerable One in the late stage and was not much different from Steward Mo.
Ou Yangming continued to observe. The alchemist could not detect his existence at all. The alchemist controlled the fire and was refining another kind of pill.
This was a different kind of pill from the Qi-replenishing Pill. It seemed to be of a higher level.
Ou Yangming observed carefully, not missing a single detail.
The night passed quietly.
Ou Yangming stayed in the Pill Refinement Department for a night. No one noticed his existence. That night, he observed more than a dozen alchemists in the department.
Among these alchemists, most of them were refining Qi-replenishing Pills. Only 2 alchemists were refining other pills.
Ou Yangming did not know the names of those pills, but he remembered clearly the spiritual herbs required and the refinement details.
After returning to the Spiritual Medicines Mountain and resting for a while, Ou Yangming started to act again. This time, it was different from before, but he was full of confidence.
A fire flashed, and the process was completed in one go.
More than 10 small Qi-replenishing Pills appeared in the Common Grade pill furnace. They were pure white pills, and there was almost no difference between them and the ones refined by the alchemists. The only difference was that the quantity was a little lower. Of course, this was because the spiritual medicines used by Ou Yangming were lesser.
Pill refinement and equipment smithing were actually the same thing. Ou Yangming’s mental power and control of flames had far surpassed those of the outer sect alchemists. The only thing he was lacking was his experience and skills. As long as he had these 2 things, his ability would far surpass those alchemists.
Ou Yangming stored more than 10 Qi-replenishing Pills in a small bottle. These pills were useless to him, but he could not waste them either.
There were still the remaining 2 types of pills.
Ou Yangming went out again. There were many medicinal herbs on the mountain. He searched for a while and again concocted the ingredients needed for the next type of pill.
He remembered the method in his heart, but he did not know the pill’s function.
His gaze swept over the Common Grade pill furnace. The pill furnace was scarlet red. It was somewhat difficult for a pill furnace of this grade to withstand his flames. If he had not been careful, the Heavenly Phoenix Fire could have melted the furnace in an instant.
“It’s better to use the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron.”
This kind of pill seemed to be of a higher grade. Using the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron would be more reliable. As such, Ou Yangming summoned the cauldron from his body.
The flames flashed once again.
Ou Yangming followed the steps that he had memorized and operated step by step. Very soon, the pill was refined.
There were no accidents. There was only one pill, but the color was somewhat different. The pill that the alchemist refined was white, but the pill inside the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron was red.
“What’s going on? Did I fail?”
Ou Yangming was shocked. After all, he had followed the method that he had learned. He gently waved his hand, and the pill flew out from the Earth’s Demolition Cauldron. He put it on the tip of his nose and smelled it.
“The smell is exactly the same, and it’s even stronger. It shouldn’t be a failure.” Ou Yangming could feel the energy in the pill, but he did not know its effect.
He leaped out and flew toward a big mountain.
Ou Yangming wanted to go to the mountain to find a test subject.
The mountain was very dangerous. When Meng Chenghe brought them here, he told them that they could not enter the mountain unless they were Venerable Ones.
It was not a prohibition set by the sect; it was just too dangerous. If an outer sect disciple who was a Spiritualist entered the mountain, one would just become delicious food to those fierce beasts.
Ou Yangming’s spiritual sense flew out from his body, and he scanned the mountain forest.
Early in the morning, there were not many fierce beasts in the mountain forest. At this time, most of the beasts had finished eating and returned to their caves to rest.
Despite that, Ou Yangming could still find many wild beasts.
“A Three-eared Hare. It’s not even as strong as an Inferior Spiritualist. Its strength is a bit low.”
Ou Yangming looked away. Since it was not even an Inferior Spiritualist, it was not worthy of being his test subject. Unless he had no other choice, he would not use it.
Just as Ou Yangming was looking around, the soil on the ground loosened, and a grey turtle crawled out.
“An Obtuse Tortoise, a low-grade spirit beast. It lives in the mountains, its movements are slow, but its defense is astonishing.” The information of this tortoise flashed in Ou Yangming’s mind. He still knew quite many names of these low-grade spirit beasts.
The corners of Ou Yangming’s mouth curled up, and he smiled. “A low-grade spirit beast. Barely enough, but I’ll take you.”
Flying down from the sky, Ou Yangming grabbed the Obtuse Tortoise in his hand and lifted it up.
The tortoise’s legs bounced in the air, and its eyes revealed a terrified expression. Its little intelligence told him that humans liked to capture its kind to make soup to drink. ‘Is this person having the same idea?’
Unfortunately, Ou Yangming was not interested in eating it.
He took out a red pill and stuffed it into the slow tortoise’s mouth.
The pill disappeared as soon as it entered its mouth.
Following that, the Obtuse Tortoise felt its body burning up. It roared in its heart. ‘How could there be such a cruel human in the world? Not only does he want to capture me, but he also forced me to consume poison.’
Ou Yangming observed the tortoise’s reaction. He reached out and threw the turtle to the ground.
The Obtuse Tortoise’s first instinct was to run away. It moved its legs quickly like fire wheels and in the blink of an eye, it disappeared from Ou Yangming’s sight.
“So fast?”
Ou Yangming was stunned.
‘Isn’t an Obtuse Tortoise meant to be slow? One could tell from its name. But why was it so fast just now? Could it be…’ Ou Yangming was delighted. Could it be the effect of the medicinal pill? That red medicinal pill had turned the slow tortoise into what it was.
‘What kind of ability is that?’
Ou Yangming chased after it.
When he put down the Obtuse Tortoise, his spiritual sense had locked onto it firmly. He did not have to worry about it escaping at all. By the time he met the tortoise again, he was tens of kilometers away. Only 10 seconds had passed.
Ou Yangming made a lightning move again. He grabbed the tortoise then returned the way he came.
The tortoise’s ability was still to be tested for the time being. Ou Yangming planned to catch it and slowly observe it. Just as he was about to leave the mountain and return to the Spiritual Medicines Mountain, a few figures flew across the sky from afar.
Those people were aggressive. Each of them was a Ruler or better. There seemed to be 7 or 8 of them in total.
They seemed to be chasing after a jade badge.
Ou Yangming hid and carefully observed. There was a jade badge in front of those Rulers. The badge was very fast. Even when those Rulers chased with all their might, they could not catch up to it.
Those people must be from the core of the Mystic Sky Sect. For the sake of his safety, Ou Yangming did not plan to interfere.
Just as he was about to leave quietly, the jade badge suddenly changed its direction and flew toward Ou Yangming.
“What’s that?”
The people chasing behind were still far away. A look of struggle flashed across Ou Yangming’s eyes. The jade badge chased by so many people must be a treasure.
In that case…
“Still!”
Ou Yangming raised his head.
The jade badge in the sky suddenly slowed down as if it had fallen into a swamp.
Ou Yangming quickly flew up, grabbed the jade badge, and left before the Rulers noticed him.
