As soon as the alchemist from the Alchemy Guild finished speaking, a punk-style man flew over. As he flew over, he was playing bass-heavy music, the kind that's really catchy.

As soon as the man arrived at the scene, the place was filled with that kind of catchy, rhythmic music. The man started dancing by himself, completely oblivious to the stares of others.

Wow, this punk kid is also a cultivator, and a late-stage Golden Core cultivator at that.

The man's dance was poor, even somewhat comical, but no one dared to laugh. Even if someone did laugh, they would be reprimanded by the elders of their own sect.

Two of the cultivators burst into laughter, criticizing the man's dancing. But their laughter was short-lived. The punk-style man pointed at them, and two beams of white energy shot towards them, instantly killing the two early-stage Golden Core cultivators who had just been mocking them.

Wow! That's awesome! Liu Xiaoyuan was taken aback. He hadn't expected this punk kid to be so amazing.

The alchemist from the Alchemy Guild said, "This person is named Zhang Chuan, the number one Golden Core expert, and a disciple of Penglai Island."

This punk is actually the number one Golden Core expert? I never would have guessed! This surprised Liu Xiaoyuan greatly.

He took down two early-stage Golden Core cultivators in one fell swoop, and no one present dared to laugh at the punk's dancing moves anymore.

The punk-style teenager immediately laughed and said, "Hey everyone, wanna dance with me? Come on!"

After finishing his speech, the "Shamate" jumped up again, completely disregarding other people's opinions, jumping with such joy and exhilaration.

"Boom!" A loud noise suddenly came from the abyss. The punk teenager stopped his devilish dance moves, and everyone's eyes turned to the abyss.

As everyone knows, the Crimson Purgatory is about to open, and everyone's mood becomes extremely tense.

Liu Xiaoyuan's heart also tightened. The opening of the Crimson Purgatory meant he had to enter it to search for the whereabouts of the Medicine King Cauldron.

If the Medicine King Cauldron were not in the Crimson Purgatory, then this would be a fatal blow to Liu Xiaoyuan.

So, when he heard the rumbling sound below, Liu Xiaoyuan prayed in his heart that the Medicine King Cauldron was inside.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the abyss, staring intently, as if afraid of missing something precious.

Just then, a blood-red light suddenly shot out from the abyss and soared into the sky.

"The Crimson Purgatory has opened! Everyone, hurry and go inside!" Someone shouted this, and immediately everyone went wild, jumping down like dumplings being dropped into a pot.

They were afraid that if they jumped too late, someone else would snatch all the good stuff inside.

"You must remember my words. Once you get inside, you must work together as one, understand?" the alchemist from the Alchemy Guild instructed once again.

Liu Xiaoyuan and the others jumped down and entered the blood-red inferno. Liu Xiaoyuan immediately smelled a bloody stench, which was very unpleasant and made him want to vomit.

Following the beam of light that shot into the sky, Liu Xiaoyuan and his group arrived at the Crimson Purgatory. After they stood still, Liu Xiaoyuan looked around and saw that everything around them was blood red. It truly lived up to its name as the Crimson Purgatory.

Looking at the ground, I saw that I was standing on a sandy and gravelly land, surrounded by a barren wasteland with nothing in sight, just like a desert.

“Those who are willing to follow me, Lu Yifeng, can come with me!” Lu Yifeng said immediately. As soon as he arrived, he began to make his own plans and decided to part ways with Liu Xiaoyuan.

"Lu Yifeng, I'll go with you!" As Lu Yifeng's ally, Wu Chengxian immediately expressed his support and stood on Lu Yifeng's side.

Chen Xing immediately said, "I'm standing with Liu Xiaoyuan. As the champion of this alchemy competition, Liu Xiaoyuan is definitely better than some others."

Hearing Chen Xing's words, Lu Yifeng turned pale with anger. The "certain people" Chen Xing was referring to were Lu Yifeng.

"Wang Chengkun, Zhang Duoyun, what about you? Who are you going with?" Lu Yifeng asked, looking at Wang Chengkun and Zhang Duoyun.

The two were in a dilemma; Lu Yifeng was now clearly forcing them to choose. Not choosing wasn't good either; if they were to form a team, they would face significant trouble in the Crimson Purgatory.

But if you make that choice, you'll inevitably offend one of them.

After considering it for a moment, Wang Chengkun and Zhang Duoyun decided to team up with Lu Yifeng because they knew that Lu Yifeng had a powerful grandfather, someone they couldn't afford to offend.

As for Liu Xiaoyuan, although he was the champion of this alchemy competition, he did not have any powerful background.

"Liu Xiaoyuan, Chen Xing, then I wish you both good luck!" Lu Yifeng said with a smile, and then left with Wu Chengxian and the other two.

After Lu Yifeng and the others left, Chen Xing spat out a mouthful of saliva. Just as he was about to say something to Liu Xiaoyuan, Chen Xing immediately spotted a familiar face and called out, "Cousin!"

"Chen Xing, you're here too? Why are there only two of you? Do you want to come over to your cousin's place?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xing immediately nodded and said, "Okay, cousin, then I'll trouble you."

"Liu Xiaoyuan, I'm sorry, I'm going to my cousin's place. Be careful by yourself." Chen Xing said to Liu Xiaoyuan with a smile.

Having found a powerful backer, Chen Xing immediately abandoned Liu Xiaoyuan. Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't help but smile. Indeed, people's hearts are unpredictable. In this Blood Purgatory, the most dangerous thing is not the danger of the Blood Purgatory itself, but the human heart.

"It's alright, I'm fine, you go ahead," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.

Liu Xiaoyuan was more than happy to act alone, so that he would be free from a burden. With the God-level Invincible System in hand, Liu Xiaoyuan was not afraid of anyone in the Blood Purgatory.

Therefore, Chen Xing took the initiative to leave, which was exactly what Liu Xiaoyuan wanted.

After Chen Xing left, Liu Xiaoyuan stood there alone, looking around to see which direction he should go.

This trip to the Crimson Purgatory wasn't a sightseeing trip; Liu Xiaoyuan was there to find the Medicine King Cauldron. Therefore, he needed to search every single corner of the Crimson Purgatory.

Without delay, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately took action and flew south.

After flying for nearly ten kilometers, they saw a group of people watching a blood-red centipede. This centipede looked like a giant dragon and could even exhale red smoke from its mouth. The group of cultivators who were attacking the centipede were having some trouble.

Liu Xiaoyuan didn't linger; it wasn't his business. His mission was to find the Medicine King Cauldron.

After flying for nearly several dozen miles, suddenly everything went dark overhead. Liu Xiaoyuan looked up and saw a large black bird circling above his head, its sharp claws hooked, as if it regarded Liu Xiaoyuan as prey and was ready to swoop down and deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
