Huo Chengche's sharp gaze swept over Luo Dangdang, his deep eyes cold and his imposing aura pressing down on her. "I'm not discussing this with you, and it's not your place to ask me questions. Lead the way."
As soon as the aggressive words "lead the way" were uttered, Luo Dangdang shuddered. When she came to her senses, she found herself cowardly turning around and leading them toward the alchemy room.
Luo Dangdang felt a chill run down his back. He shivered and glanced back nervously.
The single room was on the other side of the altar. Xuan Di had already seen the whole altar without making a sound. He raised an eyebrow slightly. In fact, it was just an ordinary altar, but it was just a cover.
Luo Dangdang came out of the alchemy room. The door to the room was not closed, and inside there was only an alchemy furnace and a seat. It was extremely simple. What was noteworthy was that the alchemy furnace seemed to be embedded in the wall.
Huo Chengche glanced at the alchemy furnace and already had a guess in his mind. "When you refine pills here, someone puts the materials in for you over there, right?"
Luo Dangdang, wiping away cold sweat, quickly replied, "Yes, yes, that's exactly right. Young master, is there something wrong with this?"
Huo Chengche glanced at him, his thin lips pressed tightly together. He didn't answer, but instead pointed to the room next to him and said, "Open it."
Luo Dangdang looked troubled and pointed to the thick iron chain on the door, which was as thick as an adult's arm, and said, "No, I am only responsible for refining pills. This warehouse is not under my jurisdiction. I don't have the key. I can't open it."
Huo Chengche gave him a deep look, then looked down at his little dumpling and asked, "Niannian, did this uncle lie?"
The little baby was perched on his shoulder, staring intently at her delicious snakes. Hearing this, he turned his fluffy little head, blinked his bright black eyes, looked at Luo Dangdang, and said in a childish voice, "No!"
The latter immediately straightened up instinctively, revealing a very obsequious smile, "This, this young, young immortal, I see that you can command all beasts, you must be a god with boundless magical power, may I ask what your name is?"
"My name is Cha Nian!" the little dumpling said in a sweet, childlike voice, his dimples showing.
"Cha Nian?" Luo Dangdang listened to the little dumpling's words, chewing on the name while carefully pondering the names of various immortals and gods in her mind, her gaze lingering on the little dumpling's delicate and exquisite face.
Suddenly, his eyes widened in shock, and he gasped for breath, "Wei—" Tea! Nian!
In an instant, he had just uttered a short, sharp sound when he fell silent, leaving only a face filled with utter shock and astonishment.
Huo Chengche looked at Luo Dangdang, who had suddenly lost her voice, narrowed his eyes, and stared sharply at Xuan Di.
But before he could ask anything, the stunned and speechless man in front of him was kicked out.
The next moment, a piercing sound of weapons clashing rang out, followed by the loud crash of a thick iron chain hitting the ground, which echoed through the valley.
Huo Chengche stared sharply at Xuan Di, who still wore that wicked, grinning smile. Under Huo Chengche's gaze, Xuan Di shrugged nonchalantly and kicked open the heavy wooden door.
The moment the wooden door swung open, it was as if some seal had suddenly vanished, and the heart-wrenching cries of a child inside became suddenly clear and piercing.
Xuan Di glanced at Luo Dangdang, whom he had kicked to the ground, his icy eyes turning cold. He grabbed Luo Dangdang by the back of the neck, lifted him up, and carried him to the doorway, making him look at the scene inside. He said in a cold voice, "Daoist Luo, is this the 'human form, spirit, and mushroom' you mentioned?"
