Ma Qi and Zheng Wangyun were shocked when they heard the old man's words.
Although I had thought about it before, Wei Qinghe reassured me.
Seeing the old man's arrogance, they felt even more uneasy.
If they leave their master here while they go upstairs, they will feel uneasy.
If it weren't for their master, they wouldn't even be able to get up to the second floor, let alone the upper floors.
"Master..."
Wei Qinghe's divine sense stirred, completely disregarding the old man's arrogance.
"Don't rush, focus on refining the pills. I said I'd take you all up with me, and I will. Trust me!"
Although Ma Qi and Zheng Wangyun felt very uneasy, they also felt a strange sense of trust when they looked into Wei Qinghe's clear eyes.
They felt that whatever their master said was right, and if their master said it was okay, then it definitely was okay.
The two exchanged a glance, composed themselves, and continued refining the elixir.
The heavenly lightning of the alchemy tribulation rolled and surged, as if it wanted to destroy the alchemy furnace.
This seemingly ordinary alchemy furnace was actually quite sturdy, withstanding the baptism of heavenly lightning.
Wei Qinghe had completely withdrawn the tempering fire, but the aura of the fire elemental power was becoming increasingly intense.
Wei Qinghe felt somewhat uneasy, wondering where this mysterious fire elemental power came from and whether it would affect the formation of the elixir.
She kept a close watch, and if anything seemed amiss, she would immediately protect the alchemy furnace and the pills.
However, no accident occurred, and as the lightning subsided, the fragrance of the elixir became even stronger.
Complete!
The arrogant old man struggled to get up, but fleshy roots sprouted from his legs and pierced the floor.
Because he desperately wanted to leave, he disregarded the pain from the tearing flesh and stood up immediately.
His penis broke off due to his more violent movements, and blood flowed freely. His aged face gradually turned pale, and fine beads of sweat covered his entire forehead.
His aged hands trembled as he gripped his knees, his body bent over as he breathed heavily.
"I am finally leaving this place. Once I obtain the inheritance and kill the master of this tower, I will become the new master of this place. I will not only imprison the alchemists, but I will also make all the cultivators on the continent my slaves."
However, the severed fleshy root moved like a small snake and quickly pierced into the flesh of his lower body again.
He cried out in pain, his voice hoarse.
From the bleeding spot, several tiny fleshy roots sprouted from the blood hole, connecting with the floor and growing at a visible speed.
The old man weakened even more in an instant, staring at his lower body in disbelief.
"Why? Why did this happen?"
"Three alchemists have already come here, and one has even successfully refined his pill. Why can't I leave this place? Why?"
Wei Qinghe calmly put the alchemy furnace into his hands, waiting for his two apprentices to complete the alchemy.
Ma Qi and Zheng Wangyun were initially worried, but seeing all this, their hearts finally settled down.
Master was right after all.
He felt even greater respect for Wei Qinghe.
With their minds at ease, the alchemy process became much smoother for both of them.
Soon, the two of them also faced the Pill Tribulation, and Wei Qinghe became even more cautious.
"Ah...why? Why? They've all reached the Core Formation stage, so why can't I leave? What happened to the agreement of one leaving to make one return?"
In a short time, the old man's lower body was almost completely covered by fleshy roots, looking just like a tangled tree root.
I used to be able to sit cross-legged in place, but now I can only stand stiffly like this.
The old man's breath grew even weaker, and his already aged skin now resembled tree bark.
The array around Wei Qinghe and the other two was faintly glowing.
Above the formation, rolling thunderclouds could be seen, the alchemical tribulation came and went quickly, and the surroundings seemed to be enveloped by the power of fire elements.
Wei Qinghe used her spiritual power to protect the three people's alchemy furnace as much as possible. "The saying 'one for every one lost' refers to people like you, not us. So those who should stay, stay."
After saying that, she controlled the formation and then teleported with her two disciples to the stairwell, giving the old man no chance to get close to or touch them.
The most obvious look on his aged face was panic. "You... the array you casually set up is actually movable? You used the array to teleport, so you avoided all of this?"
"Are you an alchemist or a formation master?"
"No!"
The old man's hoarse voice became even more indistinct, and the fleshy root beneath him continued to spread upwards.
In just a few breaths, his entire body was covered by fleshy roots, a rather shocking sight.
“Master…” Zheng Wangyun felt nauseous looking at the pile of meat. Luckily, he was with his master, otherwise he might have become the next victim.
Wei Qinghe withdrew her gaze and looked at her two disciples beside her.
"No matter when or where, a cultivator must remain true to their original aspiration and never forget their original intention!"
The two apprentices were once again glad that they had followed the right person, and at the same time they were carefully considering Wei Qinghe's words - stay true to your original intentions!
The purpose of becoming an alchemist is to refine elixirs to save lives and also to make a name for oneself.
But it is never about harming or killing others to achieve one's own goals.
The music was melodious, but the girl's laughter was even more pronounced.
The three of them arrived at the fourth-floor stairwell and finally saw the pianist and the dancer.
The mural behind the musician is the same one you see when you enter the secret realm.
"City Lord?"
Upon seeing the girl's face, Wei Qinghe called out softly.
The dancing woman suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Qinghe with a sweet smile.
