Chapter 356: First Take His Spiritual Pool

"Is this what you call alchemy?"

Xin Gugu cried out in shock.

He looked at the eighteen "dan dings" and felt a vague sense of familiarity. That large cauldron, that furnace lid... Wasn't this the batch of low-grade fang yu ling qi he had purchased earlier?

Using these things to refine pills?

That was crazy!

"No!"

"You're not actually refining pills!"

A sudden realization struck Xin Gugu. Even if Xu Xiaoshou was unreliable, he wouldn't just come to the enemy's house to put on a pill-refining show.

Looking at these dozens of cauldrons on the verge of exploding...

"Are you planning to cause an explosion here?"

"Clever!" Xu Xiaoshou snapped his fingers and laughed. "Took you that long to figure it out?"

Xin Gugu was speechless.

He realized he truly couldn't keep up with this guy's way of thinking.

Perhaps this was the difference in mindset between humans and gui shou parasites?

"Suspected, passive value, 1."

"Does this thing have a lot of destructive power?" Xin Gugu asked, now understanding everything.

He felt that even if they exploded here, the impact wouldn't be enough to seriously damage Zhang Fu!

How much damage could pill refining cause anyway?

Xu Xiaoshou ignored Xin Gugu.

For this moment, he had been brewing these dozen batches of pills in his Yuan Fu for several hours.

Once the Jin Zhao Ning Dan Shu was activated, this place would become the next Dan Ta...

Well, an explosion eighteen times more powerful than the Dan Ta!

Perhaps even more!

Because this time, Xu Xiaoshou wasn't refining Chi Jin Dan or Lian Ling Dan, but the recently attempted Ba Pin Xian Tian Dan.

Honestly, for this kind of pill, he wasn't completely confident in his success rate himself.

But in this situation, that unstable success rate seemed quite fitting for the circumstances.

"Be careful."

Xu Xiaoshou observed the sky and used his "perception" to detect the distant flow of people.

The gate guard's words were clearly true—this place was off-limits to anyone below the higher ranks.

As for the servants, even after being here for so long, Xu Xiaoshou hadn't seen a single one.

"Once this explodes, the noise will be terrifying. The Wang Zuo will likely rush over and scan the area immediately."

"So, as soon as it blows, I have to escape into the Yuan Fu right away."

Xu Xiaoshou said as he pulled out a goose egg-sized stone from his pocket.

"You two go in first!"

With a wave of his hand, he sent A Jie inside.

Xin Gugu hesitated.

His mission was to protect Xu Xiaoshou—how could he leave him alone outside?

"Don't worry, it's safe inside," Xu Xiaoshou explained.

Xin Gugu was speechless.

I'm worried about you being in danger out here!

"Is it really okay?"

Xu Xiaoshou nodded.

"Are you sure you can dodge the Wang Zuo's ling nian?" Xin Gugu double-checked.

"Are you going in or not!" Xu Xiaoshou grew impatient. "If not, you'll be out here alone dealing with it later!"

Xin Gugu was at a loss for words. Gritting his teeth and holding back his anger, he dove into the Yuan Fu.

"This is much easier now..."

Xu Xiaoshou nodded in approval and turned back to look at his beloved eighteen batches of "explosives."

"Gurgle..."

With a flick of his hand, he was about to condense the pills in Zhang Fu, but his gaze suddenly locked onto the nearby Ling Chi.

"What a shame."

"I wonder if I can move this thing into the Yuan Fu?"

An idea struck Xu Xiaoshou.

This Ling Chi was incredibly valuable—just one of the ling yu inside could probably fetch a high price.

It would be a real waste to blow it up like this.

And the Yuan Fu wasn't just a spatial ring—maybe he could really pull off a Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi and shift it over?

Thinking of it, he acted. Xu Xiaoshou walked up to the Ling Chi, and his ling nian instantly enveloped the entire space.

The Ling Chi was huge, almost as big as half of his current Yuan Fu space.

But Xu Xiaoshou could clearly feel that if he wanted to, and if there was no resistance, he could indeed transfer this Ling Chi into the Yuan Fu.

This discovery surprised him greatly.

So, was the Yuan Fu's greatest function actually moving things?

He looked up at the grand expanse of Zhang Fu...

"Squawk~"

Xu Xiaoshou nodded, his eyes gleaming greedily.

"Too small!"

"What a pity—the Yuan Fu is just too small!"

"Otherwise, I'd empty the whole place!"

Xu Xiaoshou sighed regretfully, no longer waiting, and directly gave the order to A Jie.

Inside the Yuan Fu.

Xin Gugu curiously gazed at the surrounding chaos mist, reaching out to touch it, only to hear a corrosive hiss.

"Sizzle!"

He shook his burned fingers, clicking his tongue in amazement as he retreated to the center.

"It's really the Yuan Fu!"

Xin Gugu was surprised. Although he had entered it once during experiments with Xu Xiaoshou, he hadn't examined it closely back then.

Now that he was here, truly sensing the rules and great dao, he realized this place was remarkably similar to the other-dimensional space where he became a gui shou parasite.

It was just a bit smaller in size.

"Hmm?"

As he pondered, he suddenly noticed the usually quiet and well-behaved A Jie raising its fist.

"Brother, what's up?" He stepped forward with concern.

A Jie didn't speak. It simply swung its fist at the ground.

With a booming sound, a large chunk of the Yuan Fu's central floor was blasted away.

That unexpected punch even knocked Xin Gugu off his feet, sending him tumbling into the pit.

Staring at the pit walls several zhang high around him, Xin Gugu was dumbfounded.

If he wasn't mistaken, that punch...

A Jie hadn't used any ling yuan at all?

"Wow, you're incredible, brother—you're a physical cultivator?"

Xin Gugu widened his eyes in disbelief as he climbed out of the pit.

"No wonder Xu Xiaoshou said you could team up with me. Just for that punch, I respect you."

He said seriously, but saw A Jie silently jump back up to the edge of the pit after throwing the punch.

"Mama..."

It seemed to be saying something, with an inviting expression.

But Xin Gugu couldn't understand a word.

"Does this guy only know that one word? What does he want me to do?"

Before he could finish the thought, a sudden downpour erupted from above, drenching him like a drowned rat.

Xin Gugu was bewildered.

Before he could react, several ling yu slapped him in the face one after another.

"What the—!"

Xin Gugu looked up in shock and saw countless colorful ling yu falling chaotically from the ling quan, their tails flailing in panic.

What did "fish streaming in" mean? Xin Gugu hadn't known before, but he did now.

The dense swarm of ling yu nearly swelled his face from the impacts.

He quickly activated his ling yuan and flew out of the pit.

But the pit wasn't just a pit anymore—this was basically the Ling Chi he had seen outside...

Xin Gugu wore a strange expression. Had Xu Xiaoshou moved the Ling Chi in here?

"This..."

This was so typical of Xu Xiaoshou!

But...

Looking at his soaked clothes, Xin Gugu wanted to cry but had no tears. He turned to A Jie and said, "At least give me a heads-up!"

As soon as he finished, he froze.

"Mama..."

A Jie looked at him innocently, as if saying:

I already warned you, but you didn't come up.

Unbelievable!
