Trapped in a mess!

Chu Xinghe knew that the large Formation was definitely a method arranged by Wen Rushui and her group.

Since they wanted to accelerate the rapid growth of the origin stone, they would certainly set up a time-acceleration Formation.

That day, he had originally intended to leave a tribulation qi backlash within Wen Rushui's body.

However, after Wen Rushui finished the tea, no tribulation qi appeared in her body.

Chu Xinghe realized that Wen Rushui might have known his plan would fail the moment he returned.

If it weren't for the Dao of Calculation and the Yin Heavenly Son, Wen Rushui would surely have obtained this item long ago.

Consequently, he planned to scheme against the two of them.

After the tea was consumed, Wen Rushui showed no changes.

Chu Xinghe already understood Wen Rushui's goal.

This woman was truly terrifying.

She had cut off contact and left directly, without the slightest bit of lingering attachment.

One must know, the origin stone was something she had schemed for so long, yet she gave it up just like that.

Even Chu Xinghe had to ask himself, if he had schemed for something for so long and was on the verge of obtaining it, he would at least try, even if an accident occurred.

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe withdrew his thoughts.

He wondered how Qing Meng and Wanyin were doing.

Chu Xinghe looked at the burial dao coffin with helplessness in his eyes.

It seemed that the thing born inside the origin stone was indeed not to be underestimated.

This item was actually able to withstand such a massive explosion.

Just at this moment.

Chu Xinghe felt a wave of warmth spread from within his body.

His entire body began to feel warm.

His Mental Energy was also recovering rapidly.

Chu Xinghe did not show any signs of abnormality.

This was the power of the origin stone.

This thing had already fused with him.

Even if his power was exhausted, the little bit of energy it emitted was enough for him to quickly recover from his injuries.

Now that he had achieved Fusion with the origin stone and had enough destiny value, Chu Xinghe could completely perform a Breakthrough.

However, Chu Xinghe did not act rashly.

He did not yet understand this world; acting rashly would be courting death.

Time passed continuously.

Slowly, night had arrived.

A small village appeared before Chu Xinghe's eyes.

It looked like there were almost no households, and it presented a strange distribution pattern.

It should have something to do with a Formation.

At the entrance of the village stood a one-meter-tall white stone, with "Small Stone Village" written on it.

The person leading them walked up to the stone.

He knocked three times above the characters.

Something like a button popped out.

This person pressed it once.

Click, click.

The houses in front suddenly changed.

A large opening split in the middle.

It was like a Yao Beast opening its large mouth.

The black wolf pulled the cage and walked straight down.

Upon entering, it was a dim passageway.

Rumble.

The wild wolf pulled the cage, and the wheels made a rumbling sound.

After half a quarter of an hour.

The black wolf stopped.

There was no road in front, only a pitch-black wall.

Just then, the person from before took out a jade talisman.

He stuffed it into a crevice on the side.

Pop.

Ripples appeared on the wall.

The heavy stone slowly rose, emitting a harsh sound.

At the same time, a wave of scorching heat kept rushing toward them.

Accompanied by shrill screams.

The five people in the cage were all individuals of extraordinary intellect and means; hearing these miserable screams, they did not show any abnormality.

The stone door rose completely.

Chu Xinghe finally saw the situation inside.

What came into view was a huge bronze Pill Furnace, with flames burning.

Elsewhere, there were cages one after another, all containing people with hollow eyes and numb spirits.

At this moment, a man with disheveled hair, a head of red hair, and runes on his face walked out.

Seeing this person, the black wolf lowered its head.

The leading man knelt on one knee: "Greetings, My Lord. This is this batch of medicinal materials; the quality is quite good."

The red-haired man came to the front of the cage.

Seeing the five people including Chu Xinghe, his eyes lit up.

Then he leaned in close, taking an epic sniff.

"Mmm, (╯▽╰) so fragrant~~!"

The five people including Chu Xinghe felt a deep chill of disgust.

This guy, he's a pure pervert, isn't he?

The red-haired man's eyes were filled with excitement.

"You completed your mission well this trip. I, this Lord, will remember your contribution and will claim credit for you with those above when the time comes."

The leading person's eyes were excited.

"Thank you for your promotion, My Lord. It is mainly because of your profound blessings and protection that this subordinate was able to complete the mission."

"When I was young, my mother divined for me, saying that I would have a benefactor to promote me in this life. I didn't believe it before, but after meeting you, My Lord, I knew that you are my benefactor."

The red-haired man patted the leader's shoulder.

"You're not bad, kid. There are a few rooms nearby; pick one to rest in."

The leader was even more excited: "Thank you, My Lord."

The black wolf pulled Chu Xinghe and his group in without rushing to let them out.

The red-haired man walked to a cage.

He opened the cell door and grabbed a person out.

After the Pill Furnace opened, he threw this person directly inside.

"You little mice who came up through Ascension, using you to refine Medicinal Pills to increase strength is truly not bad!"

Chu Xinghe narrowed his eyes.

Screams came from inside the Pill Furnace, along with the sound of impacts.

The Formation on the Pill Furnace operated, and before long, the screams disappeared.

After a while, the red-haired man opened the Pill Furnace.

He took out three golden Medicinal Pills from inside.

"The quality is really poor; five people only refined three Medicinal Pills in total."

Chu Xinghe looked at the Medicinal Pills in this person's hand.

There was a special power existing within these Medicinal Pills.

One could even vaguely see the Luck contained within them.

A moment later, a door to the side suddenly opened.

An old man wearing a white robe with a ruddy complexion walked out.

Stroking his beard, his face bore a smile.

"My Lord, how is it?"

The red-haired man, Qiu Chen, placed the Medicinal Pills in his hand into a box.

"This is what you need."

The old man looked at the Medicinal Pills in his hand with satisfaction in his eyes.

He took out a Storage Ring and handed it to Qiu Chen.

"This is your remuneration, My Lord. If it's not enough, I will continue to come and find you."

Qiu Chen looked at the contents inside the ring, a smile on his face.

"Easily done, easily done. If it's not enough, send someone to let me know, and I will trade with you first."

Qiu Chen watched the person leave through the secret passage.

He put away the Storage Ring.

Only then did he fix his gaze on the five people including Chu Xinghe.

He could tell that the five people were extraordinary.

Chu Xinghe stepped forward first: "My Lord, I have just ascended and do not wish to die. I have drifted for half my life without encountering a wise master. Seeing you, My Lord, I couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship and wish to serve you as my master."

Seeing Chu Xinghe act like this.

The four people behind hurriedly stood up.

"I feel the same way." x4

The four people cupped their fists, looking at Qiu Chen simultaneously with fiery eyes, as if they were about to turn into light bulbs, illuminating the entire dim room.

Qiu Chen: "..."

He had captured many people who ascended before, and their tempers were quite stubborn.

The five he encountered this time were different.

A bit shameless.

They were worth cultivating a bit.

However, they needed to be polished.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be easy to use.

Qiu Chen narrowed his eyes, looking at the five people.

"I am not lacking subordinates, nor do I trust the five of you."
