Jingyun Tower, Room 4, Tianzi.

A pitch-black medicine cauldron floated in front of Tang Xiaoliu.

At this time, he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his eyes fixed on the black cauldron, the veins on his forehead were exposed, and he looked extremely cautious.

He slowly stretched out his hands, and two balls of purple flame quickly enveloped the entire medicine cauldron.

The temperature of the room gradually increased, and thin beads of sweat appeared on Tang Xiaoliu's face.

After a long while, Tang Xiaoliu freed up a hand and quickly threw some materials into the medicine cauldron.

Opening the lid, collecting materials, loading materials, and closing the lid are all done in one go. The whole process happens in the blink of an eye, so neatly that people with bad eyesight would have no idea what he just did.

Tang Xiaoliu has been learning to refine medicine and medicine from his father since he was three years old. Within half a year, he knew the names, uses, and refining methods of tens of thousands of medicinal materials in the sect by heart.

His father couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw his extraordinary talent. He taught him everything he had learned in his life, intending to train him to succeed his sect leader.

Tang Xiaoliu was also very impressive. At the age of seven, he was able to refine first-level elixirs on his own, with a success rate of 70%.

Not to mention the many disciples of the sect, even the elders of the sect felt inferior.

For a craftsman, knowing how to refine elixirs and weapons is only the most basic requirement, while success rate is an important criterion for measuring a craftsman's ability.

The success rate of most craftsmen will not exceed 40% at most, only a handful of craftsmen can reach 50%, and even fewer can reach 60%.

There are very few craftsmen with a success rate of 70%. Tang Xiaoliu is just one of them!

After a stick of incense, the medicine cauldron began to spin rapidly.

Tang Xiaoliu's expression became more and more nervous. Now we have reached the last six moments, and success or failure depends on this.

"Hey!"

A cloud of black smoke came out of the medicine cauldron.

"Alas, it still failed!"

Tang Xiaoliu sighed, put away the medicine cauldron, leaned up, and lay straight on the ground.

He bought the medicinal cauldron for an intermediate spirit stone from that profiteer during the day.

This medicine cauldron was used by Taoist Yuxu thousands of years ago. Taoist Yuxu was a Xuanling Master at that time. He refined countless strange medicines and was revered as "Half Immortal" by the world.

Tang Xiaoliu had long known the detailed information of the Jade Void Cauldron from ancient books, and he completely believed in his own vision!

Is it the wrong method?

Tang Xiaoliu suddenly turned over and sat up, and slapped himself on the head.

"It's unmistakable. Qingling Red Blood Pill is a powerful medicine. The control of the fire should not be too rigid. First, use strong fire to melt the medicinal materials, then slowly smoke them with warm fire in the middle, and finally use strong fire to remove the impurities and leave the pure ones.

And seal the power of fierce fire within the elixir!"

"That's definitely the case, haha, Tang Xiaoliu, Tang Xiaoliu, you are such a genius!"

Tang Xiaoliu praised himself and couldn't help laughing.

He took out the medicine cauldron again and prepared to do it again.

"Whoosh"

A black shadow flashed past the window.

Tang Xiaoliu didn't have time to think about it, so he quickly put the medicine cauldron away, gently opened the window and looked out.

Under the bright moonlight, I saw a tall black shadow running wildly into the distance. His running posture was a bit unique. He did not just run with his feet, but crouched with his hands on the ground rhythmically.

, it’s a bit like the way ape-like beasts run.

"It's strange. He's obviously a human being, but why is he running in this way?"

Tang Xiaoliu frowned, puzzled.

"Swish swish"

Five or six more figures flashed past his window, obviously chasing the black figure in front of him.

What happened? Come and see.

Tang Xiaoliu made up his mind, jumped out of the window, and followed him leisurely.

…

Lan Ye's room is not far from Tang Xiaoliu's room.

At this time, he was lying on the soft big bed, preparing to fall asleep.

Until now, he has not had the opportunity to learn any luck-breathing techniques. Naturally, he cannot cultivate his spiritual power.

He now possesses the Five Elements Divine Stone in his body, a mysterious broken sword, all twelve meridians have been opened, and he has swallowed the blue-winged ice silkworm, giving him the power of freezing.

It can be said that he is full of treasures now, but he can't find a way to use them properly. He relies entirely on his own instinct to use them.

Fortunately, he is also an open-minded person. It’s okay if he doesn’t have any skills. The worst is not to practice now, but there will be plenty of opportunities in the future!

Lan Ye felt relieved and sleepiness came over him. He yawned, changed into a comfortable position, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Whoosh"

A small sound came.

Lan Ye jumped up suddenly, looking around with alert eyes.

His perception is far better than that of ordinary people, and it is not affected even when he is asleep.

After confirming that there was no threat in the room, he immediately came to the window and quietly opened it.

He saw a tall black shadow quickly escaping into the darkness not far from his window.

"I'll wipe it! What is this?"

Lan Ye was startled. This black figure was at least two heads taller than an ordinary person and had a strong build.

The most important thing is that he actually put his hands on the ground and ran like a savage beast!

Just as he was wondering, several more black shadows flashed across his eyes.

"What happened?"

Lan Ye touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

Just when he was hesitating whether to follow or take a look, a familiar figure followed the group of people slowly, it was Tang Xiaoliu!

"Is something going to happen tonight? Why did he go too?"

Lan Ye said to himself.

After everyone disappeared, he swayed and disappeared from the spot.

He was not a person who liked to watch the fun, he even hated it.

But when he saw Tang Xiaoliu, he changed his mind. He had to follow him and take a look. If nothing else, he could help if there was any emergency.

The black shadow was extremely fast, reaching an open area in just a few breaths. The people behind him were also moving very fast, and were only about ten feet away from him.

"Still want to escape?"

One person shouted loudly, stretched out his hand and threw out three flying knives, making a "pin" shape and striking them straight at the back of the black figure.

The three-point cold light arrived instantly at an extremely awkward angle, sealing off all the black shadow's dodge space.

"roll!"

The black shadow stopped, turned around and shouted loudly, waving his hands wildly.

"ding ding ding"

All three flying knives were knocked away.

In this gap, a group of five people were surrounded by black shadows.

"Who are you? Tell me your name."

A pretty figure in a fiery red dress put one hand on her hips, pointed at the black shadow with the other, and shouted sweetly.

"Hehehe."

There was a strange sound coming from the black shadow's throat, which was extremely harsh.

"Hmph, I don't want to cause trouble tonight, but that doesn't mean I'm afraid of your Beiming Academy!"

His voice sounded like a ghost.

"Oh, since you know that we are from Beiming Academy, why not recruit us?"

The one wearing a fiery red dress is none other than Miao Aiya, a teacher from Beiming College.

A few days ago, she and Jiang Yangdao brought several students from the academy to Lingshui County, intending to participate in the Divine Beast Forbidden Land Cultivation Competition.

A group of people live in Jingyun Tower, and tonight they are playing in the garden downstairs.

Suddenly a cry of "Help!" was heard. When they arrived, a child fell to the ground with a bloody hole in his neck and his body was twitching.

There was a young woman lying next to her, who must be the child's mother.
