After hearing Wu Qi's disdain for the alchemy furnace, Xiao Feng abandoned his idea of taking it and instead sped up the process of collecting the pills.
Xiao Feng and Wu Qi are comparable in speed, while Zhou Ming and Wu Xia are much faster.
Moreover, the higher up in the hierarchy of pills, the more difficult it is to collect them.
Xiao Feng and Wu Qi had swept through two-thirds of the floor before they encountered Zhou Ming and Wu Xia, who were collecting pills from the bottom up.
When Wu Qi saw Zhou Ming and Wu Xia, he instinctively raised his hand to finish them off.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng spoke up and reminded Wu Qi, who then recognized their identities.
However, Wuxia and Zhou Ming looked much more haggard than before.
The two of them looked deathly pale.
Although the seals below are not that difficult to break.
There were many that could be sealed, and they had consumed a lot of spiritual energy along the way.
They had almost been slapped to death by Wu Qi just now, which terrified them so much that they trembled and looked at Xiao Feng with pale faces, looking extremely pitiful.
“Master.” Wuxia’s voice was full of exhaustion.
"Senior Wu Qi, Xiao Feng, the pills on the lower levels have all been collected, and my spiritual energy is almost exhausted."
Zhou Ming hadn't expected to run into Wu Qi here. He first bowed to Wu Qi, and then told Xiao Feng about the situation.
"I'll take care of the rest. After we get out, I'll distribute some of the pills to you." Xiao Feng waved his hand.
All the remaining medicine bottles containing the Demon Emperor on this floor have disappeared without a trace, having been collected by Xiao Feng into his system space.
"It has to be you. We work ourselves to the bone, but it's not as good as you just waving your sleeve. To be honest, I'm even a little jealous of you."
Zhou Ming rolled his eyes listlessly, barely alive, and spoke weakly.
Xiao Feng took out the pills he had previously refined that could restore strength from the system space and fed them to Wuxia and Zhou Ming respectively.
Although the two of them were not completely exhausted, they were indeed much better than before, feeling half-dead, and had some energy left.
"The most precious things here are these pills that have already been refined. Now that we have taken all the pills, there is no need to stay here any longer."
After glancing indifferently at Zhou Ming and Wu Xia, Wu Qi spoke softly.
"Let's leave here." After stuffing all the remaining healing and strength-restoring pills into Wu Qi's hands, Xiao Feng prepared to leave the alchemy room.
The four of them had just stepped out of the alchemy room.
Suddenly, a series of shrill screams came from outside.
The four immediately became alert.
Could it be that some other powerful demon has found this place?
Do they fight each other outside?
Just as Xiao Feng was debating whether they should fight their way out of here, he suddenly sensed a familiar scent emanating from the area.
"This smell... even the Demon Emperor's avatar is here?" Xiao Feng's pupils trembled violently.
If this had happened before, Xiao Feng would have definitely turned around and left.
After all, the grudge between the Demon Emperor's clone and himself was enough for the Demon Emperor to skin him alive, tear him apart, and suck his marrow from his bones.
Moreover, Wuxia had told her that the power of the Demon Emperor's clone had been restored.
Perhaps he has absorbed so much demonic power during this time that he is even stronger than when Xiao Feng fought him before.
But Xiao Feng is no longer the same Xiao Feng he once was.
Xiao Feng absorbed the medicinal power of the elixir.
The immense medicinal power accumulated in Xiao Feng's body, which had already raised his strength to a level comparable to that of the Demon Emperor's avatar.
These medicinal effects can penetrate deeper into Xiao Feng's body during battle, enhancing his physical strength and subtly altering his physical attributes.
Since Xiao Feng was able to drive the Demon Emperor's clone to the brink of destruction before, he can do the same this time.
After quickly assessing the current situation, Xiao Feng's gaze swept over the three people before finally settling on Wu Qi.
"Senior Wu Qi, please take Zhou Ming and Wu Xia away from here first, and try not to alert the Demon Emperor's avatar."
Seeing Xiao Feng's confident expression, Zhou Ming swallowed the question he originally wanted to ask.
How dare Xiao Feng? Does he intend to confront the Demon Emperor's avatar head-on?
Wu Qi originally wanted Xiao Feng to leave with them, but then he suddenly remembered Xiao Feng's ability to take away the pills with a wave of his sleeve.
Wu Qi didn't say anything more.
"Don't worry, I'll protect them. I'll find a safe place and tell you the location. Then you can come find us."
After Wu Qi quickly agreed to Xiao Feng's request, he grabbed Zhou Ming and Wu Xia by the collars on either side and swiftly led them away.
Now Wuxia knows Xiao Feng's temperament and knows that if she stays, she will only hold Xiao Feng back.
So even though Wu Qi's way of lifting her wasn't very comfortable for her, Wu Xia didn't dare to say anything.
"Neither of you said anything, you stayed behind to fight alongside him. Are you even considered his comrades?"
The fact that Wuxia and Zhouming did not resist was something Wu Qi found hard to accept.
Wu Qi's sudden words made Zhou Ming and Wu Xia feel inexplicably wronged.
“Senior Wu Qi, is it possible that if we stay there, we will only be a hindrance to Xiao Feng, and he doesn’t want us to stay there because he dislikes us?”
Zhou Ming dared not accuse Wu Qi, as it was very uncomfortable to be dragged along like this, so he could only explain the difference in strength between them and Xiao Feng.
"I remember you used to dislike Xiao Feng quite a bit, but now you're actually speaking well of him?" Wu Qi teased Zhou Ming with a half-smile.
Upon hearing that Zhou Ming had actually gone against his master, Wuxia immediately glared at him with murderous intent.
Zhou Ming was speechless. This happened so long ago, why did Wu Qi suddenly bring it up?
“Senior Wu Qi, that was a long time ago. I now greatly admire Xiao Feng, how could I dare to oppose him?” Zhou Ming said somewhat awkwardly.
"That would be for the best. You're very smart, and I hope you stay smart forever." Wu Qi's words were loaded with meaning.
Zhou Ming could only laugh awkwardly and didn't dare to continue.
Wu Qi led them to a safe place and waited quietly for Xiao Feng's battle to end before coming to join them.
Just as Wu Qi and the other two left, the Demon Emperor's clone sensed the unusual power fluctuations in the alchemy room and rushed towards it.
"You petty thieves! Hand over what you stole at once!" The roar of the Demon Emperor's clone appeared in front of Xiao Feng even before the Demon Emperor's clone appeared.
Xiao Feng's lips curled into a wicked smile, and the moment he saw the Demon Emperor's clone, he enthusiastically raised his hand.
