Chapter 26: Harvesting the Mysterious Yellow Seven-Star Pill

The snake spirit and the scorpion spirit were quite troubled.

They have captured the seven Calabash Brothers and put them into the alchemy furnace to be burned in the flames.

Although the alchemy furnace shone brightly, the aura of the Calabash Brothers did not weaken in the slightest, and even the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.

This shows that the Calabash Brothers are unusually active and show no signs of being refined into elixirs.

The two viper demons were extremely angry, shouting, "Mountain Eagle, what on earth is going on?!"

Below the cave, the mountain eagle was bound by iron chains and covered in wounds.

Hearing the words of the two demons, the Mountain Eagle sneered: "The Calabash Brothers are disloyal and cannot possibly refine the Seven-Star Pill. To unite the Calabash Brothers, we need the Seven-Colored Lotus."

The two snake demons gritted their teeth: "Where's the Seven-Colored Lotus?!"

"It's lost!"

The monsters naturally didn't believe it.

The centipede demon, wielding a steel whip, beat the mountain eagle until its skin was torn and bleeding: "Speak! Where is the Seven-Colored Lotus?"

"snort!"

Seeing that the mountain eagle was so stubborn, the other lesser demons naturally didn't hold back either.

Steel whip, iron fork, axe...

All sorts of weapons rained down on the mountain eagle, making it even more miserable.

In their anger, the snake and scorpion demons were suddenly informed by a gatekeeper demon.

"Your Majesty, a mortal has arrived at the gate, claiming to know how to refine the Seven Star Pill!"

The scorpion demon was taken aback: "A mortal?"

The snake spirit's eyes darted around: "Quickly, invite them in! Don't be negligent!"

Then, the snake demon pointed at the mountain eagle: "Take it away! Clean it up!"

"yes!"

The little demons moved very quickly.

Before long, the cave was clean and bright again, with no trace of blood left.

The two toad spirits respectfully opened the gate and invited Xu Xian into the cave.

Xu Xian stepped inside and carefully examined the furnishings of the cave.

The cave was quite spacious, with strange rocks, flowing water, luminous pearls, and colorful brocade...

Three hedgehog spirits stood on the left, holding steel whips, looking majestic.

Five toad demons stand side by side on the right, holding steel forks and looking fierce.

Above their heads, bat spirits and bee spirits stood on either side.

A centipede demon lurked in the crevice of the rock, its eyes fixed on him menacingly.

It truly lives up to its name as a monster's cave; it's an eye-opener indeed.

Xu Xian walked deeper into the cave and met the true master of the place.

The Scorpion Demon and the Snake Demon.

The scorpion demon was over ten feet tall and clad in armor.

Its two large claws can split gold and break rocks, and a long hook on its tail gleams with a chilling light.

The snake spirit had a human body and a snake tail, wore an apricot-yellow silk skirt, had extremely white skin, and large, alluring eyes.

She had a graceful figure and her entire body was soft and boneless.

Both the snake spirit and the scorpion spirit were sizing up Xu Xian.

They could clearly sense that the person before them had no magical powers and was just an ordinary mortal.

The scorpion demon snorted coldly, feeling that this person was spouting nonsense and that she needed to order him to be devoured.

The snake spirit, however, looked on with unwavering determination and exclaimed in praise, "This young man is truly resolute and admirable."

Her voice was sweet and seductive, as if carrying a captivating fragrance, which almost made Xu Xian's legs go weak.

Xu Xian looked at the two demons and secretly guided their auras, making them come into contact with the white mist left by Bai Suzhen.

He then cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to both Your Majesties!"

The snake spirit picked up a cup of fine wine and rustled it as she approached Xu Xian: "Young brother, we hit it off immediately. Please drink this cup first."

Xu Xian knew the snake spirit was cunning, so he did not drink the wine, but said, "I know that the two kings are trying to refine the Seven Star Pill, but they have not yet found the right method."

When Xu Xian brought up serious matters, the two snake spirits also became serious.

"Someone, prepare a chair for this young man!"

The little demon immediately sprang into action, bringing Xu Xian a stone table and chairs, and setting out fruits and wine.

Xu Xian sat on a stone chair, recounting the story of the Calabash Brothers.

"Although the two kings captured the seven gourd brothers, they could not refine them into an elixir. This is because the gourd brothers were disloyal and could not unite as one!"

The two snake demons were overjoyed when they saw Xu Xian say something similar.

This mortal truly knows how to refine the Seven Star Pill!

He can speak frankly if he wants; if he tries to use any tricks, he'll have to taste the power of Ruyi!

Thinking of this, the snake spirit's voice became even more alluring: "In that case, please enlighten me, young brother."

Xu Xian, of course, didn't keep them in suspense and said directly, "To unite the seven gourd brothers into one, we need a seven-colored lotus!"

Where is that seven-colored lotus?

"It's inside the mountain god's belly!"

The two snake spirits were overjoyed upon hearing this: "Good! My minions, follow me to the Mountain God!"

The little demons marched out of the cave in a grand procession.

The scorpion demon pointed at Xu Xian, drooling, and said, "You're useless now, so let me eat you up."

The snake spirit smiled and did not stop her.

Xu Xian was not afraid and continued, "Are you going to eat me now? Aren't you afraid I'm lying?"

"..."

The snake spirit was silent for a moment, then chuckled and said, "What are you thinking, young man? My husband is just joking with you! Someone, please invite this young man into the private room! We'll thank him properly when we return."

"yes!"

Two toad spirits jumped out and took out ropes made of tree vines to tie Xu Xian up tightly.

They then lifted Xu Xian up and threw him into the dungeon.

The dungeon was gloomy and damp, and infested with snakes, insects, and rodents.

Xu Xian lay in the dungeon, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, an aged voice came from beside me: "Little child, how did you get captured by a demon?"

"Forehead……"

Xu Xian looked up and indeed saw an old man imprisoned in the dungeon.

He is the grandfather of the Calabash Brothers.

Seeing the main character of the story here, Xu Xian suddenly felt a little guilty.

"Um... I went out to gather herbs and got captured by a monster."

"Sigh! You really are something..."

The old man sighed, then lowered his voice, "Soon, the monster might take me away. I'll subdue it for you, you run!"

Xu Xian estimated the time and felt it was about time, so he laughed and said, "When I came in, I heard the monster say that the Calabash Brothers ran away. Grandpa, you should run away too."

The old man was overjoyed: "Good that they've escaped! Good that they've escaped! I just hope they can get rid of the demon."

Xu Xian ignored the old man.

He suddenly exerted force with both arms, shattering the vines.

They arrived at the dungeon entrance again and kicked it hard.

boom!

The dungeon doors opened with a click.

"Grandpa, run in that direction, don't look back!"

The old man was taken aback.

He was about to thank him when he discovered that Xu Xian had vanished without a trace.

"God, little deity?"

The old man thought Xu Xian was a minor deity who could save people, so he left without hesitation, following the direction Xu Xian pointed.

Xu Xian wandered through the maze-like caves, killing the little demons left behind and reaping a large amount of Dao energy.

Finally, they arrived at a secret room.

The room was sealed shut, and the door was frozen solid!

"Ha, so the Ruyi was indeed left behind!"

"Fortunately, the Ruyi is a magical artifact that recognizes spells but not people, so I can activate it directly."

"May all my wishes come true, may my will be fulfilled quickly!"

Xu Xian recited the incantation and blew hard.

The ice on the gate turned into wisps of cold air that gathered in Xu Xian's hand and eventually condensed into the shape of a Ruyi scepter.

[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for obtaining the [Ruyi] (Blue)]

Xu Xian, holding the Ruyi scepter, kicked open the stone door and immediately felt a wave of heat rising up.

At the heart of the heatwave, a massive alchemy furnace was constantly emitting a misty aura, from which the sounds of fierce fighting could be heard.

The alchemy furnace traps seven gourd brothers inside!

Xu Xian estimated the time and, without any hesitation, took out the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time and poured his magic power into it.

The Time-Based Eight Trigrams Furnace is a blue-quality treasure, naturally extraordinary.

With Xu Xian's magical power, the Eight Trigrams Furnace rapidly expanded.

Xu Xian commanded: "Recapture!"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately opened its mouth, taking in the alchemy furnace along with the Calabash Brothers inside.

Xu Xian then took out the Fiery Divine Pearl, placed it at the bottom of the Eight Trigrams Furnace, and activated it with his magic power.

Countless heavenly flames rose up, scorching the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time.

Xu Xian took out the seven-colored lotus and placed it into the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time.

Put the lid on and chant the incantation.

"Lotus heart, lotus heart, united as one!"

As the incantation was recited, the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time immediately emitted a seven-colored glow and began to shake violently.

Clearly, the seven gourd brothers have regained their senses and broken the alchemy furnace.

Xu Xian increased his power and activated the Ruyi Scepter.

"May my wishes come true, may my desires be fulfilled quickly!"

Then seven fiery chains flew into the Eight Trigrams Furnace of Time, completely binding the Calabash Brothers.

"Your grandfather is safe."

"I will achieve your goal and wipe out all the demons in the mountains."

Xu Xian murmured a few words and waited quietly.

Soon after, the Eight Trigrams Furnace emitted a hazy glow and celestial music played out of thin air.

The elixir is complete!

Congratulations to player Xu Xian for acquiring the [Seven Star Pill of Xuanhuang] (Gold)

At the same time, sounds of fighting came from outside the cave.

Bai Suzhen has arrived!
