"What? The Rejuvenation Pill is almost ready?"
A flash of excitement appeared in Master Chu's eyes, but it soon disappeared.
Then, a panicked look appeared on his face, and he said hurriedly, "No, we have to hurry over there, otherwise, once that Taoist Yang Chen swallows the Rejuvenation Pill, he might really become an immortal being in the world. By then, we won't be able to deal with him!"
"Yes, yes, yes. Besides, the Rejuvenation Pill is a good thing. It must not fall into the hands of that half-human, half-ghost Taoist priest Yang Chen." Xiao Junmin continued.
After we broke the ghost formation at the entrance of the cave, we found the place where the strange phenomenon appeared and rushed towards that place.
On the side of Taoist Yang Chen.
At this time, Taoist Yang Chen was still sitting cross-legged behind the alchemy furnace, which was facing the entrance of the ruined temple. A red-gold light shone from above the alchemy furnace, penetrating the hole above the ruined temple and shooting straight into the sky.
“Hahaha… the elixir is finally going to be made! I, Taoist Yang Chen, have lived to this day and persisted until now, and I am finally about to make the Rejuvenation Pill! It is said that there is no elixir that can bring immortality in the world. Today I will let those upright Taoists see how I, Yang Chen, roam the world of the living!”
However, after laughing for a few times, Taoist Yang Chen looked coldly and stared outside the door of the small temple.
Later, he shouted coldly: "Come out, don't be sneaky!"
Then, more than a dozen ghosts with broken souls flew into the small temple. They all looked very dilapidated, and the souls of several ghosts were not very stable, and they looked like they were about to be reduced to ashes.
After entering the small temple and seeing Taoist Yang Chen, the long-necked ghost said in fear: "Master, we failed! All the ghosts I brought were killed by those stinky Taoists, even the 'shadow ghosts' were killed! Now we are the only ghosts left!"
But Taoist Yang Chen did not scold him.
Taoist Yang Chen turned to the long-necked ghost and asked solemnly, "Where are all those upright Taoists now?"
The long-necked ghost said in a trembling voice: "When I came back just now, I saw those Taoist priests just coming out of the cave. When the huge rock at the entrance of the cave was blown away, I also saw a huge monster appear in the cave. It was surrounded by red blood, but soon the monster disappeared!"
After hearing this, Taoist Yang Chen nodded.
He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and said thoughtfully: "I see, I was wondering how they could come out of the cave, it turns out they invited the underworld god. Humph! A bunch of Taoist priests who don't know what's good for them, so what if they come out?! It's impossible to stop me from swallowing the Rejuvenation Pill."
Having said this, Taoist Yang Chen's voice suddenly stopped.
Seeing this, the trembling long-necked ghost asked timidly: "Master, if that's the case, then I will take the other ghosts away first! Their souls are all damaged to varying degrees, and we need to find a cold and gloomy place to recuperate as soon as possible."
But Taoist Yang Chen frowned and shook his head.
He said softly, "No need. Since you haven't completed the mission, there is no need to stay alive."
After hearing what Taoist Yang Chen said, the long-necked ghost was already frightened out of his wits.
It hurriedly said: "No, no, no... Master, you can't do this to us. We are on your side and have been helping you. Please don't kill us!"
But the Taoist Yang Chen said indifferently: "A bunch of idiots, you failed in your mission and still want to survive, it's ridiculous. Then I will use your souls as fuel for the ghost fire. This will also speed up the formation of the regeneration pill!"
"This can be regarded as your final contribution to me, Taoist Yang Chen!"
The flame used to refine the Regeneration Pill is the will-o'-the-wisp.
Then Taoist Yang Chen used both hands to hit the alchemy furnace in front of him.
A spell was produced. That spell was not controlled by Yin De Qi, but by ghost Qi, which belonged to the category of ghost magic.
After the spell was uttered, the lid of the alchemy furnace in front of Taoist Yang Chen suddenly flew up.
Immediately afterwards, Taoist Yang Chen whispered a few ghost spells.
As the ghost spell was chanted, a huge suction force was generated in the furnace and several light blue flames were released. The flames that sprang out were the ghost fires in the furnace.
The long-necked ghost and other ghosts felt fear, their souls trembled, and they wanted to escape from the small temple.
But the next moment, the suction force inside the furnace suddenly became stronger.
Before the long-necked ghost and other ghosts could escape, they were hit by the ghost fire released from the alchemy furnace.
The will-o'-the-wisp has a strong damaging effect on ghosts. In addition, the ghosts had been injured to varying degrees in the cave before. So the souls of several ghosts were burned and wrapped by the will-o'-the-wisp as soon as they were touched by the will-o'-the-wisp, becoming fuel for the will-o'-the-wisp.
Soon all the ghosts were surrounded by the ghost fire without exception.
The screams of pain echoed fiercely in the small temple. That was the pain from the depths of the soul.
The long-necked ghost's eyes released a look of unwillingness. But it was a little ghost after all. When it escaped from the soul-binding bead using the secret method taught by Taoist Yang Chen in the stone cave, it had already consumed half of its ghost energy. Now it was burned by the ghost fire. In a moment, the long-necked ghost screamed and its soul flew away.
Seeing those little ghosts being burned to death by the ghost fire and becoming fuel for the ghost fire, Taoist Yang Chen showed a look of disdain on his gloomy face.
He said dimly, "A ghost is a ghost, no matter how powerful it is. Although my soul has become a ghost and my body has become a zombie, once I swallow the Rejuvenation Pill, I will be truly immortal! By then, haha... who else in this world can stand shoulder to shoulder with me?"
Speaking of this, Taoist Yang Chen thought of Taoist Hai Ping again.
He muttered, "Haiping, you injured me with the Yin-Yang Fate Tablet back then, causing me so much pain. When I become immortal, I will kill you and drink your blood!"
Taoist Yang Chen still thought that Taoist Hai Ping was really alive.
But Taoist Haiping had already entered the cycle of reincarnation, so how could it be possible that Taoist Yangchen drank all his blood!
After saying this, Taoist Yang Chen used some magic words to take back the ghost fires and covered the alchemy furnace.
The already formed Regeneration Pill in the pill furnace was still being nurtured, with golden rays of light flashing on it. Small runes appeared on the pill and continued to solidify.
The red-gold light in the air was exactly the light released by the "Regeneration Pill" in the alchemy furnace.
Although that light is not as beautiful as the aurora, it is also a rare sight.
However, I'm afraid that not many people will be able to see this wonder in the middle of the night.
It was a little after one in the morning, and the night was growing darker.
The night wind was very strong, making the leaves on the trees outside the small temple rustle.
After about half an incense stick of time, the green lantern hanging in the small temple suddenly flickered.
Next to Taoist Yang Chen, the thing locked in the wooden cage became restless and made a creaking sound.
Suddenly, the golden light inside the copper furnace became stronger.
Rays of golden light were released from the holes in the alchemy furnace.
Taoist Yang Chen suddenly opened his eyes, a smile on his face and excitement in his eyes.
"Hahaha... Regeneration Pill, Regeneration Pill, I've been waiting for you for so many years, you're finally going to take shape! Soon I, Taoist Yang Chen, will be resurrected and descend to the world of the living!"
At this moment, our group of Taoists had already rushed to the small temple with the red-gold light as our target.
That little
The temple was in a very dilapidated state, and was overgrown with weeds.
Because there were two piles of burning firewood, the small temple was still relatively bright.
We arrived in a hurry, and at first sight we saw Taoist Yang Chen sitting cross-legged in the small temple.
"There he is!"
Master Jiang reminded.
Soon we all took out our magic tools and talismans and entered the courtyard of the small temple.
Taoist Yang Chen saw us appear, but he was not panicked.
He slowly stood up from the ground, facing us, and said loudly: "Back then, when I wanted to refine the Rejuvenation Pill, I was stopped by that bastard Haiping. Now, I am about to succeed in refining the Rejuvenation Pill, but you upright Taoists have appeared again! Is this God's will?"
We didn't say anything, and everyone's eyes were on the Taoist Yang Chen.
Because we all know this guy is not to be underestimated.
Taoist Yang Chen stood at the entrance of the small temple and continued, "But, I, Yang Chen, will not fail this time. The Rejuvenation Pill will soon take shape, and I will become an existence beyond the world. Even if you want to stop me, it is impossible!"
Although Master Chu and others are very wary of Taoist Yang Chen, since we are here, we will not be afraid.
Long Yuanda looked at Taoist Yang Chen with his heavenly eyes and whispered to us, "That man is really a half-human, half-ghost thing. He really refined his soul into a ghost and his body into a zombie. He is really cruel."
"And I discovered that it might be because his ghost had merged into his own body, so his physical body and soul were very compatible."
"Also, everyone must be careful when dealing with Taoist Yang Chen later. His ghost has already reached the level of an evil ghost, and he has a very deep resentment."
"Okay, I understand!"
Master Chu and others were communicating in low voices.
At this time, Taoist Yang Chen's eyes were filled with contempt.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said in a cold voice: "Since you are here, I will not let you leave again. Anyway, after I swallow the rejuvenation pill, I will still kill you upright Taoists. Sooner or later, you will die, so I will treat you well today!"
Having said this, the Taoist Yang Chen's gaze actually shifted to me.
He said to me coldly, "Boy, you deceived me last time on the winding mountain road. This time, I will make sure you die a miserable death. As for your master Haiping, I will also take care of him when the time comes!"
It seems that this Taoist Yang Chen did not disbelieve everything I said to him on the winding mountain road. At least, he believed what happened to Taoist Hai Ping. He really thought that Taoist Hai Ping was still alive and that I was his disciple.
I stood there and listened to Taoist Yang Chen's words, feeling like laughing.
"Haiping? ... Yang boy, could it be that your master is the famous Taoist Haiping from hundreds of years ago?!"
Xiao Junmin is quite knowledgeable. It seems that he has heard about Taoist Haiping.
I stood there in silence, which was considered as my agreement.
Master Jiang knew that I was deceiving Taoist Yang Chen. He was about to explain for me, but when I winked at him, he shut up again.
"Who is Taoist Haiping?" Qiao An asked Xiao Junmin.
Then Xiao Junmin briefly introduced the deeds of Taoist Haiping to everyone.
This shocked the masters present so much that their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Master Qi was even more muttering, "What a great man! He actually lived more than 200 years ago. He must be nearly 300 years old now. He is still alive. He is really amazing! ... It seems that your master, Taoist Haiping, is really very capable! If I have a chance, I must meet him."
I stood there, thinking, if I want to see you, I can go and see you, but you have to find the grave of the Taoist Haiping. Maybe his bones have already rotted into dregs.
