My Cultivation Starting from Archery Chapter 1069 - 344: Pill Furnace (Part 2)

"How is it? Does it sound a bit familiar?"

Mortal, dark power...

Xuanzhu?!

Chen Sansi felt a slight stir in his heart.

"That’s right!"

Shangguan Siheng said, "Doesn’t it resemble the thod you used to command the Heavenly Soldiers, Brother Chen? I saw it with my own eyes back then, and almost thought you’d joined the Demon Sect!

"Today, besides Elder Dugu having a request for you, we also wanted to ask how you ca by this thod of commanding the Heavenly Soldiers, and how it ended up in the hands of the Demon Sect.

Chen Sansi fell into silence.

If what the other party said was true, then it ant that there might be a second Xuanzhu in this world?

After a long pause, he finally said, "You suspect that the Dead Village is related to mortals joining the battle?"

"It’s quite possible."

Shangguan Siheng said, "But as of now, there’s no evidence. We’re still investigating. If—I’m saying if—what happened years ago repeats at Sixue Dao, we hope Brother Chen can mobilize to support us, otherwise, a catastrophe awaits!"

"I would be willing to mobilize."

Chen Sansi said helplessly, "But as you know, the entire Heavenly Water Sect wants dead.

"Last ti at Beiyang Dao, they launched a surprise attack when we were unprepared. If it happens again, my soldiers would surely have no return."

"Hmm..."

Shangguan Siheng pondered for a mont, cursing, "These sects are truly damnable, unwilling to join forces against the Demon Path even at the brink of life and death!"

Chen Sansi followed up, "I rember the Demon Slaying Sect and the Holy Sect are allied at the Northern Demon-slaying Great Wall?"

"That’s only temporary!"

Shangguan Siheng said, "They couldn’t handle the demon clan’s formidable ones on their own, so they asked for our help. In exchange, they can’t act against us.

"But the alliance only stands in the north; elsewhere, they would kill us on sight!"

"Enough."

Dugu Ao interrupted their conversation, "Investigate the Dead Village matter slowly, solve the current issue first. Tomorrow at noon, I’ll et you outside the Death Prison in the city, rember not to get caught up in the battle."

"In that case, see you tomorrow."

Chen Sansi turned and left, returning to White Bone Mountain, and at midnight, t with the disciples of the Qingxu Sect.

The existence of the Demon Slaying Sect was quite sensitive after all, so he did not ntion his cooperation with them, only claiming he found the location where they were being held, preparing for a prison break amid the chaos tomorrow.

"A prison break?!"

Lu Zhiyong widened his eyes, "Junior Brother Lu must be insane?"

Chen Sansi said, "I overheard that tomorrow the Demon Slaying Sect will take action in Chongming City, led by Dugu Ao, so it’s the perfect chance for us to fish in troubled waters. Miss tomorrow, and there won’t be another opportunity!"

"Dugu Ao?"

Everyone reacted to the na, apparently having gathered information about him during their dayti inquiries.

"Is this person really at Mingquan Lake?"

"I hear the demon cultivators change their faces when ntioning him!"

"A person even the demon cultivators fear..."

"..."

Lu Zhiyong nodded, "If this Dugu Ao really does make a move to stir things up tomorrow, then it indeed might be worth a try!"

As long as they rescued the people, both leading cultivators could earn four hundred Copper Coins each, a price worth the risk.

"Two senior brothers, there’s another issue."

A Qi Refining cultivator said, "There are at least a hundred colleagues imprisoned. Even if we can rescue them, such a large number would surely catch the attention of the border demon army, risking encirclent with the slightest carelessness!"

"You’re right, but as long as we can get them out of the city, lurking around and waiting for a chance to leave later is better than waiting to die."

Lu Zhiyong sighed, "If only we could fit all these people into a storage bag!"

A storage bag capable of containing living beings is already a rare magical treasure, even Elder Qingxu may not have one, let alone them.

Hearing this, Chen Sansi’s eyes lit up, "Tonight everyone take a good rest and nourish your magic power. Tomorrow, follow into the city!"

...

The next day.

Chongming City, Blood Feather Bureau, Alchemy Workshop.

"Strange indeed."

A demon cultivator wearing a magic robe made of black feathers stood at the main gate, looking up at the sky: "Why hasn’t today’s dicine been delivered yet? If it delays the alchemy hour, that old geezer might just throw in to make up the numbers!"

"Buzz——"

Just as the demon cultivator was anxiously pacing around, a streak of red light finally appeared in the Heavenly Do.

An old man in a black robe descended from the sky.

Behind him was a rhino with blood-red eyes and tusks, pulling a wooden cart.

On the cart was a group of five or six-year-old boys and girls, all tied up and unconscious due to the illusion technique.

"Hey, Lao Zheng!"

The demon cultivator cursed: "You old bastard, what have you been doing? Almost missed the hour!"

The old man in the black robe chuckled: "Hehe, went to the Myriad lody Pavilion for a bit of fun!"

"What are you laughing for? Hurry up and follow !"

The demon cultivator cursed as he led the way: "If my master punishes today, I’ll make sure to kill you!"

"Rest assured!"

The old man in the black robe said: "This ti, I brought an excellent catalyst born in a yin year and month, your master will be too pleased to even think of punishing you!"

The two twisted and turned through the building and finally stopped in a courtyard.

The demon cultivator began counting the boys and girls, only throwing a bag of spirit stones after confirming there was no issue, and said angrily: "Scram, scram, scram!"

There was no response.

"Why aren’t you leaving?!"

The demon cultivator looked up, only to see the other was already holding a sword to his neck.

"Are you crazy..."

"Slash——"

With a swift cut to the throat, clean and precise.

Chen Sansi quickly disguised himself again, changing into the demon cultivator’s clothes.

After preparing everything, he pulled the cart filled with boys and girls out of the courtyard and into a large hall a hundred zhang away.

Even before crossing the threshold, a strong stench of blood assaulted him.

Chen Sansi looked up to see a bronze alchemy furnace towering in the dark hall.

An old Taoist with disheveled hair sat cross-legged in a corner, a mortar of arm’s length before him, pressing forcefully with a wooden pestle, producing a sound like pounding mud, with occasional spatters of blood that made one extrely uncomfortable.

Chen Sansi didn’t waste a word, striking decisively seven steps away from the old man.

"Rebellious disciple seeking death?!"

The old Taoist was startled, grabbing a hatchet from the side and chopping forward.

In his eyes, he should have blocked the strike, yet sohow, the coldly glinting sword edge pierced through his heart without resistance!

Another clean kill!

Soon after, another figure snuck in: "Junior Brother Lu, your disguise technique is miraculous. Not a single person stopped on the way in!"

"Brother Lu."

Chen Sansi said: "Later, I will disguise you as this old Taoist. Stay here without moving, and after my signal, carry the pill furnace to the death prison and et ."

Escaping the demon realm with hundreds of people is almost impossible.

The best solution was Lu Zhiyong’s accidental suggestion, putting everyone into a bag!

A magical treasure that can store living beings is hard to find, but a pill furnace that can is within reach!

This pill furnace before them, specially crafted by the Taotie Sect, can not only refine living beings but is also a space magic artifact!

Once accomplished, storing the rescued individuals in the pill furnace will save a lot of trouble.

Moreover, this pill furnace can mass-produce up to two hundred elixir pills at once, making it a superb furnace for mass production, which can later be brought back to the Great Han for the alchemists of Doushuai Temple to use.

Even refining the "Nine Revolutions Blood Amber Pill" requires a similar furnace, making it a dual-purpose acquisition.

Chen Sansi quickly transford Lu Zhiyong completely into the demon sect’s old Taoist and then turned to walk out of the hall, heading straight for the death prison.

Next, he only needed to cooperate with the Demon Slaying Sect’s mbers to complete the rescue mission, earning four hundred Copper Coins.
