Chapter 27: The Skyfire Returns



Yao Budu did not come to watch the fight, so Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun thought he must be in the medicine room. However, when they arrived at the medicine room, they did not see anyone, and the medicine furnace was no longer smoking.

"Master!"

Yi Xichen called out, but no one answered, so he pushed the door open and walked into the room.

Yao Budu was nowhere to be seen in the room, but a miniature alchemy furnace on the cabinet attracted the attention of Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun. The two walked over, and Yi Xichen picked up the alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace is only about the size of a palm, just enough to be held in the palm of the hand. Smoke is faintly coming out of the air holes, as if it is refining elixirs. But such a small furnace, even if it is refining elixirs, it can only refine one or two pills, right? Opening a furnace just to refine one pill is too much trouble.

Yi Xichen asked curiously: "What is this? A toy?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, said, "Could this be the magic weapon that Master made for you?"

Yi Xichen was stunned: "No way?"

As he was speaking, Yao Budu suddenly roared: "Chang Sunzijun! Take! Medicine! Now!"

The two were startled, and Yi Xichen quickly put the small alchemy furnace back on the table. The two looked around, but Yao Budu was nowhere to be seen, and the voice just now seemed to have come from the small alchemy furnace.

"puff!"

A non-toxic, specially made mind-awakening pill was spit out from the small stove.

Both of them: "..."

"No way!" Yi Xichen grabbed the small alchemy furnace and turned it over and over. Sure enough, he saw the black fire stone inlaid on its bottom. He cried out in pain: "My black fire stone!!!"

Yi Xichen had been imagining for the past two days that Yao Budu would make him some special and powerful magical weapon, such as a weapon that could change its form or launch hidden weapons, or a trap that could capture spirit beasts. But in the end, Yao Budu actually used his precious black fire stone to make a small alchemy furnace that could automatically spit out medicine?!

"Yi Xichen! Take! Medicine!!"

Another Qi-replenishing pill came out of the small stove.

“Ahhhhhh!” Yi Xichen grabbed his hair in despair. The Black Fire Stone! His Black Fire Stone that was worth twenty high-level spirit stones! If he had known earlier, he should not have asked Yao Budu to repair the Black Fire Stone! Instead, Yao Budu created a small furnace that would automatically play his magic sound to brainwash him!

The eldest grandson, Jun, picked up the small alchemy furnace, looked at it carefully for a moment, and used his fingernails to pry open the top of the alchemy furnace and looked inside. The alchemy furnace was not as shallow as he expected, but a bottomless depth. The eldest grandson, Jun, was surprised and asked, "Is this... made of Qiankun Jade?"

Yi Xichen also came over to take a look.

Qiankun Jade has the mysterious ability to store space. The magical instruments made of Qiankun Jade are exquisite and small, but they can hide many mysteries. Qiankun Jade is not cheap, and is often used to make hidden weapons. A small piece put on the finger can fire hundreds or thousands of poisonous arrows. This thing is the favorite of many cultivators of the magic way.

So, this little alchemy furnace not only automatically emits a magical sound that stimulates the brain and spits out elixirs, but it can also store a lot of elixirs? What an interesting magical instrument!

——It’s not interesting at all!

As a poor man, Yi Xichen was not happy after discovering the secret of the alchemy furnace. Instead, he felt even more heartbroken: "Is Master crazy? Ah! Black Fire Stone and Qiankun Jade, and he made such a thing? What is the meaning of this thing!!!"

Indeed, if it was just to carry more pills, a Qiankun bag would be enough. As for the function of reminding people to take medicine on time... this is just to satisfy the evil taste of not poisonous medicine, right? !

The eldest grandson, Jun, only cared about making money and not managing the household, so he did not feel sorry for these expensive immortal materials. Instead, he thought it was very novel that Yao Budu could make such a thing. He said, "We will leave the mountain next year. Master probably made this thing because he was afraid that we would not take the medicine on time."

Yi Xichen was stunned.

They had entered the door of cultivation and had already practiced fasting. Eating grains would increase the turbidity in the body, which was not conducive to cultivation, but elixirs would not. Yao Bu Du always liked to refine various kinds of elixirs for them, and he would be satisfied only when he saw them eat them with his own eyes and heard them praise his elixir-refining skills. ——This feeling is very similar to that of parents in ordinary people preparing dinner for their children.

They will leave the mountain next year, and they will not come back for at least two years. They leave the mountain to gain experience, and Yao Budu, as an elder, certainly cannot follow them everywhere. Seeing that the two children he raised with great difficulty are about to go on a long journey, Yao Budu must prepare something for them to take with them. So, as a master of alchemy, he did not prepare any entanglements or immortal materials for his apprentice, but used his own strengths to refine a lot of pills as a farewell gift.

"You little bastards!" The small alchemy furnace roared like a bell. "Take the medicine!"

"Puff puff!" He spit out two more pills.

Yi Xichen held his forehead helplessly: "Master, are you torturing our consciences?"

Of course, the Qiankun bag can hold a bunch of pills, but if Yao Budu is not watching, will they take the pills obediently? Absolutely! Right! No! They will! However, Yao Budu made a magic instrument that transmits sound and spits out pills at a fixed time. Every time the magic instrument makes a sound, it is a torture to the conscience of the two people. What, after becoming a disciple, you start to dislike your master? Just take the pills obediently!

Yi Xichen wanted to cry but had no tears. He dismantled the magic weapon that Yao Budu had made? He really couldn't do such a heartless thing. What could he do? Just keep it!

Anyway, it was originally something that Yao Budu had given them, so Yi Xichen didn't wait for Yao Budu to come, and directly stuffed the small alchemy furnace into the bag. He looked around and saw that Yao Budu was neither in the medicine room nor in the house, so he must be in the medicine field.

The two of them passed through the transformation method directly and flew in the medicine field, but there was still no sign of Yao Bu Du.

Yi Xichen wondered, "Master has gone out again?"

The eldest grandson, Zijun, glanced at him and said, "Again?"

The two of them landed beside the transparent spring. Yi Xichen muttered in dissatisfaction: "On weekdays, he lies in the hammock every day to make poison, but he is never there when I look for him!"

He still held a grudge against the small alchemy furnace, and with nowhere to vent his anger, he stood with his hands on his hips and shouted at the transparent spring: "The medicine is not poisonous! Come out quickly! Your lovely disciples are being bullied! If you don't come out to protect us, we will be expelled from the sect!!"

Of course no one responded to him.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, sat cross-legged beside the spring, and said calmly, "No hurry, they still have a few more hours to compete."

Yi Xichen sat down beside him angrily. He stared at the Tongtou Spring and recalled the last time he saw Yao Budu running back in a panic. He didn't dare to ask Yao Budu about it because he was afraid that Yao Budu would lose face. What on earth had hurt Yao Budu? Was it to collect herbs for them to make pills? But there were so many herbs in this medicine field, what kind of Lingzhi fairy grass was worth his risk?

At this moment, Yao Budu's figure was reflected in the transparent spring again. Just like last time, he ran into the pharmacy in a panic, as if some ferocious beast was chasing him.

Yi Xichen was stunned and rubbed his eyes in disbelief, suspecting that he was hallucinating.

However, his eldest grandson Jun stood up suddenly and said, "Master is back!"

At this moment, a red light flashed across the sky as seen from the transparent spring, and it fell on Yao Budu's head! Yao Budu's body was covered with a red flame, and he was burned!

"Heavenly fire!" Yi Xichen and his eldest grandson Zijun exclaimed in unison.

The two of them rushed out with flying swords almost instantly, passing through the transformation gate, and saw their master surrounded by burning flames. Before being burned, Yao Budu's expression was still so panic, but after being burned, there was no uncomfortable expression on his face, so peaceful, with his eyes half closed, as if he was about to fall asleep.

Yi Xichen's pupils shrank rapidly, and his whole body stiffened. This was the second time he had seen such a situation. More than ten years ago, his parents fell into a deep sleep in the flames like this, and never woke up again.

The eldest grandson, Zijun, was emitting a strong sword energy, and rushed towards Yao Budu, wanting to use his sword energy to extinguish the sky fire and pull Yao Budu out of the sky fire. However, before he could get close, he was grabbed by Yi Xichen.

"No! No!" Yi Xichen trembled, "You can't touch the fire!"

The eldest grandson Zijun suddenly pushed Yi Xichen to the ground and rushed forward regardless. However, he still failed. Yi Xichen rushed over and hugged his legs tightly: "Don't go over there!"

Yao Budu, who had already entered a state of calm, took a step back very slowly. He no longer had much anger left, and his movements became very difficult. He used his last bit of consciousness to tell his disciples not to approach him. His lips moved slightly: "Go... leave..."

The eldest grandson, Zijun, had never lost his mind so much before! He was held tightly by Yi Xichen and could not move forward, so he used all his spiritual power to chant the spell, and the water wave spell was summoned by him into a huge wave, covering Yao Budu!

As the waves passed, the fire on Yao Budu's body became a little smaller, but it was not because it was extinguished by Changsun Zijun's magic, but because there were not many living things left to burn.

"Walk……"

Yao Bu Du slowly closed his eyes.

"Master!!!" the eldest grandson, Zijun, yelled heartbreakingly.

His sword trembled violently, and with a loud bang, the sword broke into three pieces! His state of mind had collapsed!

Yi Xichen was also shaking, but he forced himself to suppress the boiling blood in his chest. He couldn't get close, couldn't put out the fire, the only thing he could do was to watch his loved ones die slowly! This was the second time in his life that he experienced such a pain! For a moment, he really wanted to jump into the fire and die together, but no! He still had his eldest grandson Jun!

At this moment, several figures suddenly appeared in the sky, led by Yuying Zhenren and the elders of the three major pavilions! They saw the coming of the sky fire and immediately rushed over to check it out!

When they saw that the medicine burning in the heavenly fire was not poisonous, almost everyone was shocked and angry.

"Changsun Zijun! How dare you! You betray your teacher and ancestors!!!" Immortal Yuying was furious, and his sword energy increased dramatically. The sky was instantly covered by dark clouds, and thousands of golden lights rushed towards Changsun Zijun!

Sword prison!
