Inside the laboratory.

Li Chengdao let out a muffled sound and slowly opened his eyes.

Looking around, and then at the weak little girl trapped in the vessel, bleeding from her body, he was momentarily lost in thought.

This little girl was just dirty and looked like a little beggar before, how come she looks like she's about to die now?

die?

Oh right, he seemed to have been punched twice by that burly and fierce man. The first punch injured his internal organs and caused him to bleed. The second punch broke several bones. He should have been dead!

Hehe, could it be that Heaven is protecting Li Chengdao, allowing him to escape with his life?

But where is this?

Something looks off.

"Little girl, hey, little girl, are you alright? Wake up, wake up quickly."

"Where am I, and what's going on?"

Although Li Chengdao, whose hands and feet were chained and hung on the wall, felt thirsty and his throat was dry, he still talked non-stop as before.

It's clear from the current situation that things are not going well for them. Forget about being thirsty, they'd have to hold it in even if they wanted to poop.

The broom fairy noticed a voice beside her ear. She weakly opened her heavy eyelids and saw Li Chengdao looking at her with big, lively eyes. She forced a smile and said weakly, "You, you're finally awake."

The blessing finally worked for once.

It's good that Li Chengdao is awake.

"How did you become like this? Where is this place? What happened?" Li Chengdao asked anxiously. As he moved, the iron chains clanged and jingled.

"This is their laboratory. They drew my blood to do experiments and developed Fuxian Wine... They even cut off my flesh, intending to replace Jiang Rentian's flesh..." the Broom Fairy mumbled, revealing everything he knew.

These were things she had heard from Jiang Yuanhao.

Jiang Yuanhao would come to see her every day, and every time he saw her, he would take out a knife, cut her wrist to draw blood, and then cut off her skin.

Every single day, the same actions are repeated.

While cutting her flesh, he would talk to himself about the progress of his research.

Jiang Yuanhao said that the medicine developed using her blood has been injected into others, and its success rate is much higher than that of Chunxian.

At least six out of ten are top-quality test subjects, and so far no side effects have been found. They are also in perfect health and have no health problems. In every respect, they are much better than Chunxian back then. They truly deserve the title of Fortune Immortal.

The only thing that puzzled him was that, although they were top-tier test subjects, they had not yet discovered what their special abilities were.

She's a broom spirit, carrying bad luck that she can't even control herself. She has no power of her own and can't even protect the people she wants to protect. What kind of superpowers can she gain after injecting her blood, besides all that bad luck?

After her skin and flesh regenerated, it was cut off again.

She wasn't a high-ranking immortal, and her power was inherently weak. If Jiang Yuanhao repeated this a few more times, she was afraid...

The tribulation will fail.

Failure to overcome the tribulation is not terrible; what is terrible is that a mortal will take her place as the Broom Fairy, and she will disappear from this world, or perhaps she will be replaced.

She doesn't want her life to be replaced by someone else, nor does she want to be replaced by another generation.

Once the generation changes, her life will start all over again, her memories will disappear, and others will forget what they experienced with her.

For an immortal, this is no different from death.

She didn't want to forget the things she had experienced with others, nor did she want others to forget her.

"This...this..."

"That Jiang Rentian deserves to die!"

Although the broom fairy spoke intermittently, Li Chengdao was able to piece together the general meaning from her words.

The implication was that this was Jiang Rentian's laboratory, and they had captured the girl for experiments, while he was just an afterthought.

"But why did they capture you for experiments?" Li Chengdao asked again.

This little girl looks no different from anyone else, and seems quite ordinary. Why did it have to be her of all people?

"I am...I am an immortal, an immortal who descended to the mortal realm to undergo tribulation," the broom immortal said weakly.

Since he is the disciple of the King of Hell, he must be a trustworthy person.

"An immortal? An immortal? You are an immortal?" Li Chengdao asked in surprise.

Seeing that the Broom Fairy had closed his heavy eyelids again, looking like he was about to collapse, Li Chengdao quickly said, "Immortal, don't worry, I'll get you out of here right away."

Even ghosts exist in this world, let alone immortals?

He believed in the existence of immortals, and he also believed that Jiang Rentian captured her because she was an immortal.

Even an ordinary person would scream in pain after being cut a few times with a knife. Although the little girl in the vessel had no wounds on her body, the vessel was stained with a lot of congealed dark red blood.

It is evident that she has been having her blood drawn and bleeding continuously since she was captured.

If an ordinary person were like this, they would have died from excessive bleeding long ago, so how could they possibly have survived until now and still be talking to him?

Therefore, he believed she was a fairy.

After saying that, Li Chengdao looked up at the iron chain binding his wrist. He tilted his head to the right and stretched his head out, his hand, which was chafed by the iron chain, still trying to reach forward.

I was so close, so close to hooking it.

Li Chengdao exerted all his strength, almost rolling the whites of his eyes out, and finally, his hand managed to hook onto the hairpin that held his hairstyle in place.

As his hair fell loose, a hairpin appeared in his hand.

He opened the hairpin, took out the wire hidden inside, skillfully inserted the wire into the hole of the chain, and twisted it.

The chain binding his hands clattered to the ground, and then he unlocked the chains on his other hand and feet.

Hearing the noise, the broom fairy forced herself to open her eyes again. Seeing Li Chengdao unlock the chains and walk to the vessel, she almost woke up.

Li Chengdao studied the machines and buttons around the vessel, somewhat puzzled. He then glanced up at the Broom Fairy and saw her looking at him in surprise. He coughed twice and said, "Fairy, don't be surprised. After I came down from the mountain, I worked as a locksmith, so I always keep a wire hidden in my hairpin, just in case."

"Besides being a locksmith, I've also worked as a vegetable cutter and waiter at a hotel, an apprentice at a cake shop, and a housekeeper..."

"After doing this and that, I found that the money came in very slowly. It wasn't until I got into the internet and live streaming that I started doing live streaming myself."

"Live streaming opened up a new world for me. It's easy and quick to make money. I can do a couple of divinations, split the profits with the platform, and earn several thousand a day."

Li Chengdao murmured.

Although there was internet access on the mountain, his master taught him to be down-to-earth.

So after he came down the mountain, he did all sorts of down-to-earth, slow-paying jobs, and only later did he change his mind.

When he was doing live-stream fortune telling, he didn't really fool anyone. He would watch what he could, and only make up a few things if he couldn't predict them.

There's no other way; everyone's just trying to make a living.

But he didn't say anything too outrageous; he just said nice things to put the guests at ease.
