Chapter 572 Bring the Disaster to Enemy
The alchemy room Wan Zhenyuan chose had the best Feng Shui, was full of treasures, and had the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth. There were arrays and runes arranged around the large rock cave, which was mainly for preventing outsiders from intruding with Yin or Yang Spirits. On top of that, there was a huge Eight Trigrams Array of Yin and Yang in the center of the stone room which was empty at the core, looking like a huge abyss.
The flas flickering in the dicine pool, above which floated a dicine King Tripod that was in fact the magic tool of Sun Simiao, the famous dicine king of the Tang Dynasty. The top of the dicine tripod was aid at a cave skylight that had been hollowed out in accordance with the aning of the nine heavens above and the nine earths below.
This dicine King Tripod was about half a ter in diater and was completely black with ancient characters and totems engraved on it. Underneath it lay the dicine pool, from which floated up various kinds of faint mist that went into the bottom of the tripod, slowly gathering inside. The colorful mist rolled and twisted within, like colorful pearls shining in all directions.
Wan Zhenyuan seized the opportunity and threw the 1,000-year-old snow lotus into the dicine pond. Then, he quickly pinched a few fingers to cast a few spells. With a loud shout, he pointed at the dicine pond!
Imdiately, a monstrous fla suddenly rose from the dicinal pool, accompanied by a rumbling sound. A green-white color gathered together with the six-colored light in the tripod imdiately and turned into a seven-colored light in the raging fire around the tripod. This light lingered and twisted as it repeatedly changed shape.
After an unknown amount of ti, a dragon roar and tiger roar suddenly erupted from the dicinal pond, shaking Tiandu Peak until it trembled. The seven-colored glow, which had originally been emitting a brilliant glow from the stone chamber, rose into the sky and transford into a powerful light pillar. Following the appearance of this light pillar, a strange dicinal fragrance imdiately perated the interior of the stone room. It was unusually beautiful, enough to make one’s mind intoxicated.
Li Yundong saw the light rush up along the skylight at the top of the rock cave, as if it could penetrate the nine dens. He was shocked and asked, “What’s going on?”
Wan Zhenyuan said with a fanatical look in her eyes, “It’s done. I’ve refined the Diyuan Jindan!”
Li Yunyang hadn’t expected the refining speed of Diyuan Jindan to be so fast or the noise to be so loud. He asked in surprise, “So fast?”
Wan Zhenyuan laughed ecstatically and said, “Of course! I have been collecting dicinal materials for more than ten years all for this mont! Everything had already been prepared except the 1,000-year-old snow lotus! After getting the lotus, naturally, the Diyuan Jindan would be refined imdiately!”
Li Yundong opened his eyes wide and looked at the colorful light, only to see four colorful pills the size of thumbs floating in the air gradually appear in the seven-colored light.
These three dicinal pills were crystal clear. They emitted waves of gentle seven-colored light that lit up the walls of the stone room, looking unusually bright.
Wan Zhenyuan grew ever more ecstatic and said, “One furnace produces four pills, hahaha! Master, do you see this? I’ve refined legendary four pills with one furnace! Even the King of dicine, Sun Simiao, could only refine five pills in one furnace!”
As soon as he finished his words, soone suddenly jumped in from a round hole that was smaller than a football at the top of the alchemy room.
At first, his shadow was stretched to be extrely long, like a rolling pin, but the mont he got into the stone room, the shadow imdiately swelled and quickly turned into a masked man in black.
The man in black appeared in the blink of an eye and reached out to grab the four Diyuan Jindans floating in the air!
Li Yundong and Wan Zhen Yuan had never thought that soone would intrude in this place. They were shocked and shouted in unison, “Stop! You’re courting death!!”
Li Yundong recited a spell in his mind without moving. A flash of lightning rushed toward the man in black. It was the lightning strike of the Liuhe Sword!
Obviously, the man in black had such a high cultivation that he was brave enough to try stealing the Diyuan Jindan under such a dangerous condition, like snatching food from a tiger’s mouth. Without looking back, he reached out and firmly clamped down on the Liuhe Sword with only two fingers.
However, the Liuhe Sword was a powerful magical weapon. As soon as it was pinched, it began to struggle violently, like a monster trapped in a cage.
The man in black was holding the Liuhe Sword with one hand and grabbing the Diyuan Jindan with the other. However, at this ti, Wan Zhenyuan’s powerful magical weapon of Qu Chi also flew out and rushed toward the intruder.
The man gritted his teeth when he felt the weapon strike his chest. He still reached his hand out to grab the Diyuan Jindans and finally grabbed them firmly with his five fingers.
When the black-clothed man had just grabbed this Diyuan Jindan, the seven-colored light that had been soaring to the sky from the stone chamber instantly disappeared. Imdiately, the originally brilliant stone chamber turned unusually dim.
Although the man had snatched the Diyuan Jindans, he had been hit by the magical weapon. Suddenly, the Qu Chi slamd into his chest. He spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Yang Spirit body with three souls and six spirits was blown out of his body!
Once a person’s soul left their body, their physical body would no longer have an owner. Not to ntion activating their Zhenqi and spiritual energy, they would not be able to exert as much strength as an ordinary person.
The Liuhe Sword, which had been intercepted by him just now, suddenly ca to life like a tiger out of its cage. The blade of the sword rotated, and his fingers were instantly cut off with a clang. Then, another flash of lightning shone, and his hand, which was holding the Diyuan Jindans, was cut off at the wrist. The Liuhe Sword did not stop but flashed again and pierced his heart!
As soon as the man’s hand fell, his five fingers involuntarily loosened. The four Diyuan Jindans floated in the air, and the stone room was once again filled with colorful brilliance.
The body of the man had been irreparably crippled. His Yang Spirit roared and was about to pounce on the Diyuan Jindans again, but he hadn’t been expecting to hear a mantra be recited: “Vajra-jnana! Ah!”
In an instant, a shiny golden Vajra buddha-seal hit his Yang Spirit firmly. The man did not even make a sound. Instantly, his Yang Spirit was smashed to pieces and turned into countless tiny cyan lights.
The light did not dare to stay any longer and flew quickly to the skylight exit of the Alchemy Room.
Wan Zhenyuan sneered and said, “Do you think you can co and go as you please? Humph!” A stream of purple Qi spurted out from his nostrils. He quickly pinched the incantation and pointed to the dicine pool. Suddenly, a colorful fla rose from the dicine pool and rushed toward the light.
At the sa ti, Li Yundong took out a Liaoran thumb pot. He flicked his finger, and with a clink, the bowl began to emit ripples, pulling the fleeing divine Yang Spirits back one after another.
Li Yundong and Wan Zhenyuan attacked together, leaving no chance for the Yang Master to escape. In the blink of an eye, he had been swallowed up by the fla in the dicine pool. More than half of his Spiritual Qi and Zhenqi had been absorbed by Li Yundong’s burning thumb pot, and his body and soul had been completely destroyed.
Although Li Yundong and Wan Zhenyuan had killed the cultivator who dared to snatch their treasure from right in front of them, they did not feel happy about fighting side by side. Instead, they looked at each other with hostility.
Wan Zhenyuan said angrily, “Zhenren Li, I will definitely give it to you. Why do you have to do this?”
Li Yundong spat back, “You’re actually shifting the bla to ? Didn’t you say that this place is very safe and hidden? How could soone suddenly intrude and take the pills?”
Wan Zhenyuan saw that Li Yunyang was full of indignation and didn’t seem to be lying. He was stunned and muttered in a low voice, “Zhenren Li, if I wanted to play tricks, would I really use such a low-level thod?”
Li Yundong stared at Wan Zhenyuan angrily. After a while, he said slowly, “Weren’t you the one who leaked the news?”
Wan Zhen Yuan laughed angrily and said, “And here I was thinking that it was you! I have worked hard for more than ten years all for this day. Do you think that I would be stupid and get deliberately robbed?”
Li Yunyang frowned. “What’s going on then?”
Just as Wan Zhenyuan opened his mouth and was about to speak, a man suddenly flew in from the skylight. Li Yundong and Wan Zhenyuan were instantly infuriated, and their magical weapons suddenly rushed toward the man.
The cultivation of this man was obviously not as high as that of the previous man. In the blink of an eye, he was killed by their weapons. He fell to the ground without saying a word. His Yang Spirit was also felled by Li Yundong and Wan Zhenyuan in the sa way.
After annihilating his Yang Spirit, Li Yundong’s face changed and he said, “One could have just gotten lucky, but two?”
As soon as he finished speaking, another figure popped in from the skylight, appearing in a flash.
Li Yundong was furious. With a mind spell, the Liuhe Sword flashed like lightning and lunged at the newcor.
The man at the skylight had no ti to dodge and fell to the ground with a helpless yell. His scream of pain was clearly transmitted around the alchemy room and heard outside. “It’s inside! The Diyuan Jindan is inside!”
As soon as the man shouted, the alchemy room imdiately rumbled as if countless magic treasures were rushing toward it.
Li Yundong felt as if the stone room had been violently struck by a forceful cannon. Countless shells began pelting down, shaking heaven and earth, and the gravel and dust in the stone room kept being shaken loose.
Wan Zhenyuan’s face was ashen. He gnashed his teeth and said, “What the hell is going on? Why are there so many people here? Zhong Qingsong, have you betrayed ?”
Li Yundong‘s face turned dark. He quickly looked around, as if he wanted to judge how long the stone room could last under the bombardnt of magic tools and spells.
Wan Zhenyuan noticed him doing this, he snorted and said proudly, “Zhenren Li, there’s no need to worry. They can’t get in! I’ve set up more than a dozen magic circles here. Unless a master of Lightning Retribution phase cos to attack us, they won’t be able to break in in a short ti.” As he said this, Wan Zhenyuan raised his head with a cold look, stared at the skylight, and said coldly, “I already sealed the entrance when I ca in. If they want to intrude, they can only co from there...”
Li Yundong snorted and said, “One man against ten thousand enemies! They’ll all have to die down here if they co no matter how many of them there are!”
Wan Zhenyuan sneered and said, “You’re right, but how many can we really kill? What if they just overwhelm us with their numbers? Won’t we be here for the rest of our lives? Besides, there’s no fortress in the world that can’t be broken into!”
Li Yundong’s face darkened. “Then what do you think we should do?”
Wan Zhenyuan looked Li Yundong up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, “Zhenren Li, I have a way...”
Li Yundong asked in reply, “What way?”
Wan Zhenyuan smiled and said, “That is, the Cicada takes off its shell!” As he said this, he suddenly lifted the fly-whisk in his hand. The tail of the whisk wrapped around the floating Diyuan Jindans in the air. Then, his body quickly turned into a green light and he fled toward the skylight.
As soon as Wan Zhenyuan started getting away, Li Yundong imdiately went out of his body with his Yang Spirit and chased him closely out of the skylight.
As soon as Wan Zhenyuan got into the air, he gnashed his teeth and shouted at Li Yundong with bitter hatred, “Li Yundong, there are still three Diyuan Jindans below. Do you still think it’s not enough? Why won’t you let go?”
After that, he instantly turned into a beam of cyan light and fled toward the horizon.
Li Yundong was instantly angry and shocked. He knew that Wan Zhenyuan was trying to shirk off the difficulties and get away. However, he couldn’t chase after Wan Zhenyuan because there were indeed three Diyuan Jindan still in the alchemy room below them. If he were to chase after Wan Zhenyuan, he would lose everything. Even the colorful splendor emitted by the Diyuan Jindans were still shining brightly. The other cultivators who ca to snatch the pills would be ecstatic about the bounty.
“This Wanzhen Yuan is cunning! What courage! Four pills, but he only took one of them!” Li Yundong’s heart was surging with rage and shock.
If Wan Zhenyuan had taken all of the Diyuan Jindan away, he would definitely risk his life to chase him to the ends of the earth.
If he were to snatch three pills, the light in the stone chamber would definitely be reduced greatly. The other cultivators would naturally pursue the person with the most pills!
However, he had only taken one! He hadn’t even taken two! It seed that he was afraid that he would fail to escape Li Yundong and the others if he took more.
“This man is ruthless. He is an enemy, not a friend. We can’t let him go!” Li Yundong was extrely angry. Just as he was about to use his burning thumb pot, countless magic weapons starting flying at him from all directions. These weapons of all kinds ford a turbulent wave, coming as a huge torrent and smashing toward him!
