Xu Jinhuan became somewhat interested upon hearing this. She walked to Wu Yu'er's side and said calmly, "Let's go."

Although Wu Yu'er did not see the God of Joy, she felt a great sense of security just thinking that the God of Joy was by her side.

This time, she straightened her back and walked towards the place she used to be terrified of.

When Xu Jinhuan went in, he thought he would see many corpses, but the reality was not so; the cave looked very clean.

Apart from the alchemy furnace with its immense power, the room is just like an ordinary person's room.

"How is that possible? Bai Mei and the others clearly came in yesterday. Why aren't they here?" Wu Yu'er looked around blankly.

Xu Jinhuan walked to the alchemy furnace and immediately smelled a bloody stench. If she wasn't mistaken, this was the alchemy furnace that the old Taoist priest had used to refine the human-demon pill for Lei Tingjun.

Xu Jinhuan forcefully opened the alchemy furnace, and the stench of blood assaulted her nostrils. She frowned slightly as she looked at the eerie red light emanating from the inner wall of the furnace.

If it continues to be fed human blood like this, the alchemy furnace might become sentient before the old Taoist priest does, and then it's hard to say who will eat whom.

Xu Jinhuan twirled his longsword, channeling the power of his faith, and slashed fiercely at the alchemy furnace.

"Click"

"Click"

"Click"

The seemingly sturdy alchemy furnace was crumbling, and as the fragments fell to the ground, they instantly turned into wisps of black smoke and then disappeared.

Wu Yu'er was drawn by the sound of the alchemy furnace shattering, and when she turned her head, she also smelled the pungent smell of blood. A terrible thought appeared in her mind.

"My benevolent deity, this alchemy furnace... Bai Mei and the others..."

Her thoughts were extremely confused, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Xu Jinhuan immediately understood what Wu Yu'er meant, "Please accept my condolences, they were used by that old Taoist to refine pills."

After Xu Jinhuan finished speaking, he gave Wu Yu'er time to process her emotions and then went to search the old Taoist's desk.

She always felt that this kind of bizarre alchemy technique was not something that should exist in this world.

"Found it." Xu Jinhuan found the old Taoist's incomplete alchemy manual hidden in a book's inner compartment.

"Body Tempering Pill, Marrow Cleansing Pill, Rejuvenation Pill, Corpse Dissolving Water..." Xu Jinhuan looked at the incomplete book in his hand with some surprise. These things were not cheap even in the system store.

Now we can actually refine it ourselves?

System Xiao Wang quickly poured cold water on the idea.

[Host, according to the system's detection, these pill formulas do not come from the cultivation world, but from the slightly inferior Xuanwu world.]

Therefore, the pills refined according to these formulas will not have the effects that the host imagines.

Xu Jinhuan wasn't too disappointed. She smiled to herself and said, "No matter what, I've made a profit. As long as I can mass-produce these pills, my throne is secure."

When I get back, I'll have Xie Guangbai research it and see if it can be mass-produced.

After carefully putting away the tattered book, Xu Jinhuan walked towards Wu Yu'er, whose emotions had gradually calmed down.

"Let's go, we should leave."

Wu Yu'er nodded obediently and quietly walked out of the cave.

Except for kicking the old Taoist's corpse a few times in anger as she passed by, she remained quiet the whole time.

After Wu Yu'er left, Xu Jinhuan put the bodies together, threw a tinderbox, and flames shot up.

Seeing the fire burning brighter and brighter, she quickly left the secret passage.

"Lord Benevolent God, are you still there?" Wu Yu'er asked from the entrance of the secret passage.

Xu Jinhuan did not reply to her.

Wu Yu'er thought that the God of Joy had left and lowered her head in dejection. However, she soon regained her spirits and muttered to herself.

"Since the Benevolent Goddess truly exists, she must have gone to the temple. When I get home, I'll take my parents to the temple to thank the Benevolent Goddess!"

Xu Jinhuan shook her head with amusement. She restored the secret passage to its original state and even added a layer of faith power to it.

Even if someone were to come and investigate again, they would not be able to discover that there had ever been a secret passage.

After doing all this, Xu Jinhuan deactivated his invisibility ability and was about to leave when he suddenly looked towards the entrance of the Taoist temple.

"Someone's coming..."

Was she being followed when she was fighting the false Heavenly Dao? Are there such powerful people in the capital?

Wait, could it be Zhou Zhou?

Xu Jinhuan walked out of the room with a mixture of vigilance and anticipation, looking towards the direction of the courtyard gate.

The moment the man revealed his face, Xu Jinhuan's longsword was itching for a strike.

"It's you. Looks like you've transmigrated here too, you scoundrel! This time, I'm going to kill you!" Xu Jinhuan picked up her long sword and slashed at the newcomer.

That's right, the person who came was none other than Zhou Ziheng, the zombie king in Xu Jinhuan's eyes.

After sensing Xu Jinhuan's spiritual power, he followed that faint spiritual power and rushed here.

Before he could explain his purpose and identity, Xu Jinhuan's long sword had already slashed down.

Zhou Ziheng swiftly dodged Xu Jinhuan's longsword, shouting, "Jinhuan, have you heard..."

Xu Jinhuan interrupted with a sneer, "You dare call me by my name? You dog, take another stab!"

After dodging the knife, Zhou Ziheng said, "Jin Huan, Zhou Zhou is actually..."

Upon hearing him mention Zhou Zhou, Xu Jinhuan's anger flared even more, and she swung her knife even more fiercely, shouting, "You are not worthy to mention his name!"

After Zhou Ziheng narrowly dodged the attack, he briefly restrained Xu Jinhuan with his spatial abilities and then explained earnestly.

"Jin Huan, listen to me, I am Zhou Zhou, Zhou Zhou is me!"

Xu Jinhuan broke through Zhou Ziheng's restraints with the power of faith. She said coldly, "Zombie King, you can't fool a three-year-old with these words! Even a three-year-old might not believe it!"

"If you're a man, don't hide! Fight me!"

Zhou Ziheng felt helpless. He didn't blame Jin Huan for not believing him; he only blamed himself for not leaving a good impression on Jin Huan when he was the zombie king.

Seeing Xu Jinhuan rushing up again, Zhou Ziheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration and used a move that only Zhou Zhou knew to meet Xu Jinhuan's attack.

After fighting with Zhou Ziheng for a while, Xu Jinhuan discovered that her opponent never used any killing moves. Sometimes, even if she had just moved forward a little more, she would have been injured, but her opponent would have withdrawn his attack at that moment.

At the same time, Xu Jinhuan was also very familiar with the fighting techniques used by the zombie king, all of which Zhou Zhou had taught her back then.

Logically speaking, the Zombie King should have no idea about these things.

No way? Could this zombie king really be Zhou Zhou?

A ridiculous idea suddenly flashed into Xu Jinhuan's mind.

Xu Jinhuan withdrew her strength, used her lightness skill to jump to a distance, and looked at Zhou Ziheng with some doubt. She asked tentatively.

Where did you learn all this?

When Zhou Ziheng saw that Xu Jinhuan had finally stopped, he immediately began to explain.

"Jin Huan, do you still remember Kong Duiyue?"
