The ruins of Yunshui Tiangong are huge. Even in the previous life, after more than ten years of continuous exploration, monk Cong Yunhai still could not fully understand the whole picture.
Not to mention now, everywhere in Yunshui Tiangong is shrouded in thick fog.
The monks who woke up from the Qintang stone statue were quickly divided into several different camps.
Some people think that the Yunshui Heavenly Palace is really dangerous. It is a lucky thing to survive Qin Tang's hands. If you continue to explore, you will definitely die.
And they thought they had memorized several techniques, and as long as they could return alive this time, they would make a lot of money. So they decisively chose to leave Yunshui Tiangong directly.
The majority of people chose to leave. The remaining people believed that just a stone statue at the entrance of the ruins could provide such an opportunity. The legendary alchemy rooms, transmission pavilions, and sects inside the Yunshui Tiangong were necessary for ancient sects.
How much creation will there be in the treasure house?
Once greed arises, it expands rapidly in the heart and can no longer be suppressed.
As a result, this group of people disappeared into the mist one after another, as if possessed.
Therefore, when Li Fan caught up from behind, he found that all traces of the monks had been lost. If Wuxiang murderous intent had not locked Sikong Yi and the two of them in advance, they would have been lost like this.
However, the strange thing is that Sikong Yi and Bai Lichen seem to be very familiar with the layout of Yunshui Heavenly Palace.
Every time, I can find a passage through the gaps in the fog that seem to be a dead end. I have a clear goal along the way, constantly bypassing the buildings shrouded in fog, and going deeper.
Is this why Sikong Yi was able to win the "Clouds and Waters" in the previous life?
It was because of the simulation experience in my previous life that I was able to learn all the secrets in the Yunshui Heavenly Palace.
But how did Sikong Yi know this?
Li Fan suddenly felt a strong interest in his heart.
At the same time, he became increasingly vigilant. There is obviously a big secret between these two people!
The figure's aura was even more hidden, with Li Fan hanging tightly behind them.
Suddenly, their movements stopped.
After a pause, Sikong Yi and Bai Lichen separated and galloped in two opposite directions.
"A plan to divide the troops? Have you discovered me?" Li Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then chased after Sikong Yi in the direction he left.
Go deep into the fog and arrive at a tower-like building.
Sikong Yi suddenly stopped under the tower, turned back towards the direction of Li Fan, and showed a provocative smile.
Then he dove into the tower.
"It's interesting. Do you want to use the Jedi in the Yunshui Palace to kill me?" Li Fan looked at the tower in front of him, looming in the white mist and exuding a strange aura. The memories of his previous life could not help but come to mind.
.
Demon Refining Tower, one of the most dangerous areas in Yunshui Tiangong.
In the first ten years since the opening of the Yunshui Heavenly Palace, no monk had ever come back alive from the Demon Refining Tower. Therefore, it was once considered by monk Cong Yunhai as a dead end in the Yunshui Heavenly Palace and should never be explored.
The previous life was anchored for 21 years, and an alchemy master risked his life to enter it, and finally cracked the weird rules inside.
"If this is your idea, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Li Fan sneered and followed him into the Demon Refining Tower.
When you step inside, you will feel the cold wind blowing, and a smell of decay and stench will come to you.
On the bottom floor of the tower are cells.
It just seems that too much time has passed, and there are only piles of strange and strange bones left in the cell.
Li Fan continued to go up, and the same was true for the second floor of the tower.
Go all the way to the top of the tower.
You can hear chattering sounds coming from a distance.
"My brothers and sisters are all fighting on the front lines, and I am the only one who can't help."
"We must refine more elixirs so that their strength can be improved as much as possible."
"Every more elixir I refine, the greater the chance that my brothers will survive."
"But all the demons in the demon refining tower are dead, and there are no alchemy materials. What should we do?"
A man with disheveled hair and a large blue robe was sighing and looking helpless.
In mid-air next to him, three figures were bound by invisible ropes.
One of them is Sikong Yi.
The other two monks also entered the Yunshui Heavenly Palace this time, but they appeared here for unknown reasons.
The two people looked pale and kept opening and closing their lips. They didn’t know what they were talking about.
Before Li Fan could make any move, he felt as if his hands and feet were suddenly tied up with ropes, making him unable to move.
Then he was pulled into the air and fixed, just like the other three people.
Li Fan had already anticipated this encounter and did not panic.
Only then did he clearly hear the two men talking to themselves.
"How could this happen? Didn't I obviously choose to leave here directly? Why did I get tied up here as soon as my eyes blurred..."
"My life is at stake, my life is at stake. I have clearly left Yunshui Tiangong, but I was still captured..."
……
"Oh, it's time to make alchemy!" At this moment, the man in Taoist robe suddenly woke up from his chattering.
"Refining alchemy, refining alchemy..." The man put his hand into his large Taoist robe and moved it. After a while, he took out two black elixirs.
"The elixir has been prepared, but I don't know what its properties are this time." The man scratched his hair and seemed a little troubled.
Then, he slapped his thigh suddenly: "By the way, didn't I just catch a few bugs this time, so I can use them to test the medicine!"
After that, he looked towards Li Fan and others who were tied up in the air, his eyes kept moving: "Which insect should I choose?"
Being stared at by a man, I felt an inexplicable chill.
They didn't dare to move, they held their breath and kept quiet.
"Just this one." The man in Taoist robes looked at it for a while, his eyes stopped on one of them, and he immediately stretched out his hand to grab it.
When the man saw this, he could no longer remain calm.
But his struggle was obviously in vain, and his voice could no longer come out.
The body flew towards the man in Taoist robes, and his body gradually became smaller in the process.
In the end, it really turned into a small flying insect and fell into the hands of the man in Taoist robes.
A human face can still be vaguely seen on the flying insect's head, and the expression on its face is extremely frightened.
Being pinched gently by the Taoist-robed man, the human-faced flying insect kept making a buzzing sound of flapping wings.
But everything was in vain. The Taoist-robed man held the flying insect in one hand and the black elixir in the other.
The elixir was many times larger than a flying insect, but it was stuffed in like this.
The human-faced flying insect struggled painfully and forcefully swallowed the pill into its belly.
My belly expanded many times and turned into a giant round ball.
The scent of flying insects is gradually fading, but the suffering has just begun.
After the elixir enters the abdomen, it seems to be digested and its size begins to decrease.
However, a buzzing sound like a swarm of mosquitoes suddenly sounded.
The body of the human-faced flying insect suddenly began to twitch uncontrollably.
Tiny black spots came out one after another from its abdomen.
If you look carefully, you will see that the black spots are clearly newborn flying insects.
After the flying insect got out of the body, it did not fly around, but stopped on the human-faced flying insect and gnawed greedily.
Soon, the human-faced flying insect was chewed up until not even the dregs were left.
The man in Taoist robes shook his head with regret on his face.
"It seems that the test drug failed. It must be too strong."
As he spoke, he opened his mouth and sucked in the black mist of flying insects.
Even though he had already heard about what happened in the Demon Refining Tower and was fully mentally prepared, Li Fan still couldn't help but his eyelids twitching at this moment.
This scene is really terrifying.
The man in Taoist robes looked at the other pill left in his hand and seemed a little troubled.
"How about trying this one again?"
He glanced at Li Fan and the others again.
All three of them suffered respiratory arrest.
After a long time, the man in Taoist robes sighed: "Forget it, it should be almost the same if you practice it in one furnace."
After saying that, the man opened his mouth and threw the black pill in.
After swallowing the elixir, the man in Taoist robes was completely unaffected.
I just became crazy again.
He started mumbling to himself again, saying that there were not enough alchemy materials, completely ignoring the three people who were tied up in the air.
Among the three survivors, Li Fan remained silent.
Sikong Yi’s face was expressionless.
The remaining person had a collapsed look on his face.
"If I had known, it would be better to die in the hands of Qin Tang. At least I could die happily."
……
Time seems to have no meaning in this demon refining tower.
The life and death of everyone depends entirely on the behavior of the man in Taoist robes.
I don’t know how long it took, but the man woke up from his daze again.
I also took out two pills from under the large Taoist robe, but this time they were strangely green.
"Which insect should I choose to test the medicine?"
This time the man hesitated for a moment, but looked at Sikong Yi.
"Just choose this one!"
Li Fan immediately cheered up. He wanted to see what Sikong Yi had to rely on to lead him into this desperate place.
What surprised Li Fanton was that Sikong Yi didn't use any means of resistance.
After turning into a bug and being forced to swallow the green elixir, it turned directly into a puddle of green water.
Sikong Yi, dead!
"What's going on? What happened? Could it be that, because of my tracking, things developed differently in this life than in the previous life?"
"No, this Sikong Yi clearly lured me to this Demon Refining Tower. How could he die so easily?"
"He knew this was a desperate situation and brought me in just to exchange one life for another?"
……
Just when Li Fan fell into endless doubts, he suddenly sensed something and raised his head.
Outside the Demon Refining Tower, Baili Chen, who was locked with murderous intent, slowly approached.
Next to him, Li Fan felt that the murderous intention that had lost its focus on the target had once again captured the target: Sikong Yi.
Sikong Yi, who was obviously dead, appeared outside the Demon Refining Tower again.
"Puppet? External incarnation? It doesn't feel like..."
Li Fan stared at the puddle of green water on the ground and couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems that the secret between these two people is bigger than I thought."
"It's just that once you catch my eye, the secret will no longer be a secret."
Under Li Fan's induction, Sikong Yi and Bai Lichen continued to move deeper into Yunshui Tiangong.
"If there is a murderous intention, we are not afraid of them running away. We just need to get out of the Demon Refining Tower as soon as possible."
But the actions of the man in this robe have their own rules, and Li Fan cannot control them. At the moment, he can only choose to wait patiently.
Soon, the third round of drug trials is coming.
This time, Li Fan was still not chosen. This made Li Fan a little bit dumbfounded, and he didn't know whether he was lucky or unlucky.
The man in Taoist robes took out two pink pills and fed them to the flying insects with human faces.
The flying insects turned into a pink smoke screen amidst the banging explosion.
In the smoke screen, painful faces emerged one after another.
As the pink mist floats, the human face is pulled and twisted, making it even more ferocious and terrifying.
Li Fan, who was standing by, had goosebumps all over when he saw this scene.
In the end, it was the man in Taoist robes who inhaled the smoke into his body while muttering, and ended this eternal pain.
The man in Taoist robes fell into muttering again.
The fourth round of drug trials is finally here.
At this time, Li Fan was the only one left in the Demon Refining Tower.
The man in Taoist robe was about to test the medicine on Li Fan, but Li Fan suddenly spoke.
"Junior Brother Chong, I heard that you don't have enough materials for alchemy?"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Chong suddenly stopped extending his hand and nodded subconsciously: "Yes, there are not enough materials for alchemy."
He said with some guilt: "I haven't been able to refine a new elixir for a long time..."
Taoist Chong's words stopped for a moment. He stared at Li Fan for a while and saw the clothes he was wearing. He suddenly became a little panicked: "It turns out to be senior brother! I thought it was a bug!"
"Brother, I'm so sorry! I'll let you down right away."
Following Taoist Chong's words, Li Fan felt the restraints on his body loosen and regained control of his body.
The Taoist Chong covered his head and lowered his head, as if he had no face to face this senior brother.
He just blamed himself and said: "I messed up again. It's like this every time. I didn't make the alchemy well, and my practice progress has been very slow. It's because of everyone's hindrance..."
Li Fan stepped forward, held Taoist Chong's shoulders, and said gently: "Don't say that, Junior Brother Chong. The elixir you made is very effective, and everyone likes to eat it."
Hearing this, Taoist Chong suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of surprise: "Is it true, senior brother? Everyone likes to eat the elixirs I made?"
"What, you don't believe what my senior brother said?" Li Fan made a serious face.
Taoist Chong shook his head quickly: "Of course I believe what senior brother said."
Then he said dejectedly: "But I have no elixir-making materials anymore. I can no longer make the elixirs that everyone loves."
Li Fan touched Taoist Chong's head and said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'm still here."
"Let's refine senior brother into elixirs, so that everyone can have elixirs to eat again."
"Brother, you..." Taoist Chong seemed to be shocked by Li Fan's words. His eyes widened and he looked at Li Fan.
Li Fan just sighed and continued: "Although I started early, my talent is not enough and my cultivation level has always been very low. My brothers and sisters are all fighting on the front line, and I am the only one who can't help much."
"Every time I think about this, I feel extremely heartbroken and hate my own incompetence."
"So, make me into a pill. In this way, I can still be of some help."
Li Fan grabbed Taoist Chong's hand and said excitedly.
Taoist Chong looked at Li Fan blankly, seeming to be deeply touched.
"It turns out that senior brother is just like me."
"But senior brother is much greater than me. He would rather sacrifice himself to help the senior brothers and sisters on the front line."
"And I, I will only escape. I will only hide in this tower."
The insect Taoist pulled his hair in pain.
"No, I will never watch my senior brother die."
He seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and suddenly said to Li Fan excitedly: "Brother, I can make an elixir for you! As long as you eat the elixir I refined! Your strength will definitely not be very low, and you can go to the front line even if you don't.
Help!"
The Chong Taoist seemed to have found the goal of his struggle: "Refining elixirs, I want to refining elixirs!"
He put his hand into his large Taoist robe and moved it.
Not long after, he took out two golden pills.
"Senior brother, here is the elixir for you."
Taoist Chong held the elixir in front of Li Fan with a smile on his face.
Li Fan did not pick up the elixir, but untied Taoist Chong's robe.
I just saw...
Under the large Taoist robe, only an empty skeleton was left.
On the bones, only a little bit of invisible flesh and blood remains.
