192: To take the treasure, you have to kill people.

Three days later.

Boom!

A roar echoed from within the cave dwelling.

The alchemy furnace opened.

Xie Weilou took out a gray pill from inside; it was a Grade 2 Vein Cleansing Pill, which could help cultivators open hidden meridians.

After three days, numerous failures, and several attempts, he finally refined a Grade 2 pill. This was his fifth successful attempt.

Five successes, five batches, and each time only one pill was produced, and they were all of lower quality.

However, with the experience of refining Grade 1 pills, increasing the quantity and improving the quality of Grade 2 pills would not be a major problem; he just needed to apply the same methods.

"Refining Grade 2 pills normally is not difficult for me. Next, I need to increase the quantity and improve the quality of the pills, which shouldn't be an issue. As for what comes after, I'll have to consider refining Grade 3 pills."

Xie Weilou placed the pill in his hand into a jade bottle.

He glanced at the cave dwelling. The various spirit herbs he had acquired this time were almost used up, so there was no need to continue experimenting.

Being an alchemist is a profession that makes it very easy to earn resources, but it also consumes an immense amount of resources.

But it didn't matter. Once his alchemy grade improved, people would naturally come to him and offer resources.

Boom!

Just then, sounds of fighting came from outside the cave.

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow, put away the items in his cave dwelling, and walked outside.

In the dense forest.

A man in a yellow robe was frantically fleeing, while behind him, six cultivators in pink robes were relentlessly attacking him.

Boom!

The yellow-robed man failed to dodge in time and was instantly struck by a talisman, his body sent flying over ten meters, breaking a large tree.

Pfft!

The yellow-robed man spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face extremely pale.

"Hand over that spirit herb."

A man with a sinister face stared at the yellow-robed man, his eyes filled with intense killing intent.

The yellow-robed man was Huang Sheng of Tai Xuan Sect. He took a deep breath, immediately pulled out a spirit herb from his storage bag, and with a flick of his hand, the spirit herb flew out. He said, "Fellow Daoists of Hehuan Sect, I admit defeat this time. The spirit herb is yours."

"You're sensible."

The few people sneered.

The man with the sinister face put away the spirit herb, a cold glint in his eyes: "Judging from this person's cultivation technique, he seems to be from Tai Xuan Sect. For safety's sake, let's just kill him!"

They had robbed the other party's spirit herb and injured him. As someone from Tai Xuan Sect, this person had a respectable background, and might seek revenge on them later. To be safe, it was naturally best to kill him to eliminate any hidden dangers.

"Makes sense!"

The rest of Hehuan Sect were filled with killing intent and instantly pounced on Huang Sheng.

"You…"

Huang Sheng's face was incredibly grim.

Boom!

Just as the few of them pounced, a surge of pressure swept over. Before they could react, they were instantly sent flying.

"Who?"

The man with the sinister face glared around.

"......"

Xie Weilou walked over with his hands behind his back.

Huang Sheng's expression froze when he saw Xie Weilou, but he did not greet him. The cultivation world was like this; sometimes a single word could harm someone.

"I am Pei Yin of Hehuan Sect. Who are you?"

The man with the sinister face glared at Xie Weilou.

Xie Weilou glanced indifferently at the people of Hehuan Sect: "Hand over all your storage bags, otherwise, die!"

People who meddle in others' affairs are definitely not qualified cultivators in the cultivation world and won't live long, but cultivators who like to kill people and seize treasures are absolutely qualified!

Without killing people and seizing treasures, relying solely on arduous cultivation, how could one improve?

"......"

The people of Hehuan Sect were stunned. They had just been ambushing others, and now they were being robbed? How the tables had turned?

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow: "Can't you understand human words?"

After speaking, a wave of pressure instantly crushed down on everyone.

Pfft!

The bodies of Hehuan Sect members trembled, and they spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, their eyes revealing a look of horror. They understood that they had met a ruthless character.

Pei Yin quickly handed over his storage bag, trembling, "Senior, here's the storage bag. Please spare our lives."

"......"

The others also hastily handed over their storage bags. How could one walk by the river often without getting their shoes wet?

Xie Weilou casually put away the storage bags. He glanced at the group, his eyes filled with killing intent, and slapped out a palm.

Boom!

The people of Hehuan Sect were instantly blasted into dust.

When killing people and seizing treasures, after seizing the treasures, one naturally had to kill the people.

"......"

Huang Sheng stared blankly at Xie Weilou, his face somewhat pale, and a little disbelieving.

He had misjudged him. This Fellow Daoist Fan's cultivation was actually so terrifying, at least in the Shackles Realm!

One had to know that among those who were chasing him just now, there were cultivators at the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm.

Xie Weilou looked at Huang Sheng and smiled faintly, "Fellow Daoist Huang, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Huang Sheng paused for a second, then quickly said, "Senior Fan, thank you for saving me."

In this cultivation world, there were only three realms: Ant Realm, Fellow Daoist Realm, and Senior Realm. Now that he had witnessed Xie Weilou's cultivation, he naturally dared not continue calling him Fellow Daoist.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist Huang misunderstands, my name is Fan Wujiu. I don't save people, I only kill people and seize treasures. I won't be giving you that spirit herb."

Although he said that, he had indeed saved Huang Sheng's life. As for the other party's spirit herb, since he had snatched it, he naturally wouldn't give it to Huang Sheng.

Huang Sheng quickly said, "Of course, of course!"

"Farewell!"

Xie Weilou chuckled and flew away.

He wasn't afraid of Huang Sheng saying anything, after all, his face was fake, and his identity was fake, so he had nothing to fear.

Huang Sheng looked at Xie Weilou's retreating figure, a bitter smile on his face. He had thought he had made a friend after drinking together, but now it seemed he had clearly thought too much.

However, he also felt a bit fortunate. If it weren't for the fact that they had shared a drink, given this person's brutal methods, he might not have intervened to save him, and might even have killed him directly.

------

After leaving the ancient forest.

Xie Weilou was walking on a main road when a graceful green figure flew towards him. It was Lin Qinghuang.

Xie Weilou looked at Lin Qinghuang and asked with a smile, "Did you get the item?"

Lin Qinghuang nodded gently: "It went smoothly. After returning this time, I can advance further."

Her talent was not bad, and her bone structure was unique. Her cultivation had already fallen too far behind Xie Weilou, which was unacceptable; she still needed to improve.

Xie Weilou smiled faintly, "Heading back to Tianqi next?"

Lin Qinghuang pondered, "Not returning for now. This trip to Yuan City, I found that people from Hengyuan Sect, Mist Hidden Gate, Hehuan Sect, and Tai Xuan Sect have gathered. It seems there's some treasure that has appeared in the Yuan City area. Since we're here, we might as well investigate."

"Alright."

Xie Weilou didn't pay too much attention to it.

Lin Qinghuang said, "The people from the four major sects are heading to QingShui Town, south of Yuan City. Let's go there now."

"Okay!"

Xie Weilou nodded gently.

The two transformed into afterimages and flew towards the distance...
