Approaching midnight.
Although the fragrance had not yet overflowed, the entire small courtyard was now illuminated by the firelight from the Dragon Tiger Incense Furnace, shimmering with brilliance.
Inside the furnace, the young man was completely enveloped in fiery light, with two incense pills floating before him.
One was Little Treasure Senior Brother, and the other was a nascent form of black incense, already sixty percent inscribed with the meridians of the Eight Treasures Devouring Gold Technique.
Little Treasure Senior Brother seemed capable of freely operating the energy flow routes of other martial arts?
Li Mo noticed that when he practiced together with Tang Xiaobao, the nascent form of the Eight Treasures Devouring Gold black incense was gradually establishing a connection with himself.
It was indistinguishable from the one he had refined himself.
“I’m going to increase the temperature.”
Elder Xue’s voice came from outside.
“Hold on.”
Li Mo heard a hint of fatigue in his voice, so a faint glow appeared behind him.
The tranquil moonlight illuminated Elder Xue, instantly dispelling his distracting thoughts and calming his emotions.
For a moment, only tranquility remained in his heart.
“What divine intent is this kid observing?”
Xue Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, but his hands did not stop moving.
A large bucket of Black Demonwood oil was poured in.
Instantly, the temperature inside the furnace soared rapidly.
“Whoosh… Little Treasure Senior Brother, prepare for the final step!”
This temperature made Li Mo feel burning sensations.
Even the Great Completion Extreme Soldier Body Technique could barely withstand the furnace’s current temperature.
“Ready!”
After a slight tremor, Tang Xiaobao spun rapidly, almost smoking from the rotation.
Heart Grass, Nine-leaf Flowers, and thousands of portions of bl**d Yellow Essence were thrown in as if they were worthless, then quickly transformed into pure primordial energy.
After a quarter of an hour.
The burning sensation became even stronger.
And the nascent form of the black incense seemed to be gilded, shining brightly!
Bang!
The Dragon Tiger Incense Furnace emitted a dull sound.
The lid shot out like a cannonball, trailing a long tail of flame into the sky.
“Little Treasure?”
Xue Jing, ignoring the remaining heat, hurriedly approached.
“Tea… Tea Master…”
Tang Xiaobao transformed into a human shape, rolling out. He hung his tongue, and his eyes, clearly black and white, seemed to turn into whirlpools.
“Are you okay?”
“Huh? Tea Master, it seems you have three heads, did you achieve Three Flowers Gather at the Top? Hehe…”
Dazed, Tang Xiaobao laughed foolishly, seeing everything as shadows.
Xue Jing: “…”
A palm slapped down.
Tang Xiaobao’s eyes cleared up.
“Where’s Little Ink? Why hasn’t he come out yet?”
Xue Jing looked into the furnace, both worried and hopeful.
This was a crucial moment to verify his theory. If this failed, it would only prove that external incense techniques were nothing more than a joke.
In the furnace,
Suddenly, two beams of solid gold light appeared, but they quickly faded away.
“Sigh…”
Li Mo crawled out of the furnace, sighing deeply, his expression very dejected.
“After all, it was still incomplete.”
“Failed?”
Xue Jing’s excited expression froze, his eyes gradually dimming.
Indeed…
External incense techniques were just a youthful fantasy of his, right?
No matter how perfect everything was done, it could only remain at the theoretical stage.
“Little Ink, don’t be too dejected. External incense techniques defy the laws of nature, so failure is normal, although we wasted a lot of materials…”
The consumption rate of heavenly treasures and earthy gems by external incense techniques was simply astonishing.
Just now, one black incense pill used up one-fiftieth of Li Mo’s inventory.
Seeing his disheartened master, Tang Xiaobao scratched his head:
“Huh? But I clearly saw Li Junior Brother swallow the black incense pill into his stomach, didn’t I?”
Xue Jing’s expression froze.
Li Mo shrugged and smiled:
“Just believe me, huh~”
At that instant, Elder Xue’s face visibly flushed, turning red immediately.
“I’ll beat you to d*ath, you scoundrel!”
Warm reminder: If you find this book good, please remember to add it to your favorites to avoid losing it next time.
Setting
Traditional Simplified
“Joking around… Look, you got anxious again…”
Thus, two figures began chasing each other in the small courtyard.
Li Mo fled!
Xue Jing chased!
To be honest, after having four black pills in his body, Little Li’s true essence was endless, and his movements were much faster.
But.
Inner scenes are inner scenes.
After releasing the realm, a virtual image of the Dragon Tiger Pill Furnace pressed down, turning Little Li into a monkey under the Five Finger Mountain.
Actually, Li Mo could accelerate further, but that would mean spending money.
That Eight Treasures Devouring Gold Pill could devour the aura of gold and silver, bursting with even greater strength.
“You never learn anything good!”
“What do you mean, who taught me?”
“Of course, it was your tea master. Although she spends money extravagantly, likes fighting, and enjoys drinking, she still has her own merits.”
“Like what?”
Xue Jing was momentarily speechless.
Tang Xiaobao was dizzy for a while, just waking up, ready to tidy up the Dragon Tiger Pill Furnace.
Suddenly, he frowned:
“Tea Master, the lid of the furnace is missing again!”
…
Midnight.
Yulong Street was completely quiet, pitch-black, and deserted.
A waiter-like person was walking in the dark. If one didn’t look closely, they might not even notice him.
“Mmm… No one followed me…”
Xu Yi was always vigilant. Only after crossing three streets did he finally relax.
“So what if my meridians and dantian were sealed?”
“After all, I have superior skills.”
Xu Yi had many identities, so he learned various things.
Even if he was no different from an ordinary person at this moment, he could skillfully untie the turtle shell bindings.
Then, using the divine intent he observed, he hid his presence.
Finally, he quietly escaped in the middle of the night.
Of course, his willingness to take Li Mo to the Black Tower wasn’t fake; he genuinely wanted to take Li Mo there.
But.
If he didn’t report to Yin Mianmian on time, they would think he was dead.
Then, what awaited Li Mo would be ten times the reward, and the Misty Rain Tower would target him even more fiercely.
If something happened to Li Mo, who would he get money from?
So, he planned to report first, then quietly return to the tavern…
Xu Yi crossed another street. Just as he was about to leave a signal with a swallow,
Woo—
What was that sound?
Xu Yi looked up and saw a dark object spinning towards him.
Getting closer and closer.
What the heck?
A lid?
Clang~~
The sound of the head and lid making contact was oddly pleasant.
After Xu Yi felt numbness, his eyes turned black, and he fell straight to the side of the road.
Not long after,
A figure with a cloth over his eyes, carrying a small basket, approached.
“Huh?”
“This isn’t… Isn’t this Xu Xiao’er?”
Jiang Chulong, who was about to search through Xu Yi’s belongings, tilted her head in confusion upon recognizing him.
Why was he here?
Dead…?
A peach wood branch poked Xu Yi’s stomach, and Jiang Chulong felt disappointed.
He was still alive.
So his stuff wasn’t trash anymore…
“Is… Is it Li Big Brother who sent him out?”
Jiang Chulong decided to ask further.
So she picked up the furnace lid with one hand and grabbed Xu Yi’s foot with the other, dragging him back to the tavern.
Bang—
A dull sound, the sound of the back of his head hitting the curb.
