Today's test was another major failure.

"You've already installed it?" Several burly men weren't afraid. They exchanged glances and then surrounded You Yonghuai and his companion, their anger gleaming behind their sunglasses.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Several burly men were also sent flying backwards.

"Wow." You Yonghuai looked at his fist, slightly amazed.

He hasn't even exerted his strength yet.

Then, he looked at the wall to the side and tried to punch with all his might.

"Click."

A hole appeared in the pristine white wall, through which You Yonghuai's slightly reddened fist passed.

Is this the power of numerical monsters...? You Yonghuai smiled and looked at the remaining people without saying a word.

The thin, bony young men couldn't even hold their cigarettes anymore. They stared blankly at You Yonghuai, their eyes filled with surprise and fear.

Even the fat man standing nearby couldn't sit still. He stood on tiptoe, intending to whisper in You Yonghuai's ear, but finding he couldn't reach, he could only lower his voice: "Brother, aren't you an alchemist? How come you're dealing with them this way?"

"Then what do you think I should do to solve this?" You Yonghuai smiled slightly and asked in return.

"Shouldn't you pull out some unique alchemical artifact, unleash some mysterious effects, and take them all down in one go?"

"...Standards." You Yonghuai stopped discussing this and instead asked, "Is this all there is to it?"

"No, if possible, I hope you can destroy this gang."

"...Then I'll call the police." You Yonghuai rolled his eyes.

"Hey, Yonghuai, something doesn't seem right here." Si Xuanyin suddenly poked her head out from under You Yonghuai's feet and said seriously.

"Holy crap, what is that?!" The fat man was startled by the half-head that suddenly popped out from under his feet.

You Yonghuai was also somewhat surprised that this silly kid was running around everywhere again, but he didn't show it: "What's wrong?"

"There's a lot of stuff piled up down here... alchemy materials, finished equipment, gold, gems, and stuff like that."

"Oh~" You Yonghuai nodded thoughtfully, drawing out the sound, and turned his gaze to the fat man beside him.

No wonder they were in such a hurry; it turns out there's a secret stash downstairs.

"Well... brother, we should always keep something in reserve, right?" The fat man was now a little embarrassed, and even more afraid that You Yonghuai would be tempted by the money and take him and the whole gang down.

"What are you afraid of? I'm not going to rob you." You Yonghuai waved his hand, not harboring any wicked intentions. Instead, he asked curiously, "Does the gang know you have these things down there?"

"...Hard to say." The fat man was puzzled himself. He scratched his head, racking his brains for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer. "That gang leader was sitting in that private room earlier, why don't we go ask him?"

Si Xuanyin flew out first and peeked into the closed private room. She saw the so-called gang leader making a phone call with a fanatical expression on his face.

He looked like a cult member, muttering to himself, "Don't worry, we'll break into that vault soon and replenish the Shangxue faction's wealth... The world will eventually be unified."

Holy crap, they're cultists!

Si Xuanyin paused for a moment, then glanced over at the person the gang leader was calling—Huang Li.

Alright, the case is solved.

So this whole thing was caused by my biological mother.

Immediately, Si Xuanyin hurriedly called You Yonghuai in and subdued the gang leader, who was an ordinary person.

"Who goes there? Where are my bodyguards?" The gang leader was instantly pinned to the ground by You Yonghuai, and his phone was snatched away.

"Ahem." You Yonghuai cleared his throat.

Perhaps because she heard You Yonghuai's voice, Huang Li did not hang up the phone immediately, but waited quietly.

"Aunt Huang, your daughter asked me to pass on a message to you—she will definitely kill you with her own hands." You Yonghuai's voice carried a hint of amusement, but it wasn't because he wanted to mock Huang Li.

Instead, Si Xuanyin kept typing into her phone, but not a single word reached her biology mother's ears.

Seeing his childhood sweetheart's furious expression, You Yonghuai laughed with a hint of resentment.

"Heh." Huang Li's light laughter came through the phone. "That little brat is right next to you, Xiao You, isn't he? Don't worry, I won't let either of you get away with it."

After saying that, Huang Li hung up the phone.

After confirming that the fat man's secret stash was legitimate, You Yonghuai used his mobile phone to call Ling Xiuqi.

The fat man tried to stop him, but to no avail.

After giving a brief report on the situation, Ling Xiuqi said he would send someone to bring the gang members back for questioning.

Ye Qingchen seemed to be sitting on the other end of the phone. After hearing that his workload had increased again, he punched Ling Xiuqi in annoyance.

After hanging up the phone and handing over the call to the police sent by Ling Xiuqi, You Yonghuai turned to look at the fat man with a worried expression.

Having already obtained the Ruby Fruit, he trembled as he held the materials for the exorcism potion, as if he would suffocate at any moment.

"You haven't broken the law, why are you so panicked?"

"I have so many good things inside, what if they just take a little bit?"

"If you get angry, just tell me, and I'll definitely help you get it back."

After comforting the fat man for a few more minutes, You Yonghuai took the materials and hitched a ride home in a police car.

The fat man followed, hoping to get the exorcism potion as soon as possible.

You Yonghuai had read less than half of the misfortune in "Accumulating Great Power and Unleashing Its Potential" and initially wanted to refuse, but then he remembered the Sage's Token in his clothes and decided to give it a try.

Anyway, there are two sets of materials inside, so failing once won't be a big deal.

After returning home, You Yonghuai asked the fat man to wait at the door while he went in alone to refine medicine.

If Fatty saw Si Xuanyin instructing him on how to concoct medicine, he'd probably be able to connect Si Xuanyin with the missing client.

Si Xuanyin does not want people she is not familiar with to know her current situation.

[Alchemy Testing: A value greater than 60 indicates a successful test]

[Sage's Proof in effect - Value change: Check succeeds if greater than 40]

["Accumulated knowledge and experience leading to a breakthrough" takes effect: slightly increases the success rate]

Test result: 41

[Test successful!]

You Yonghuai was extremely excited as he poured the successfully refined exorcism potion into the glass tube.

What surprised him most was not that the Sage's Proof could reduce the value of the alchemy check, but that "Accumulated Misfortune" could directly consume and use the accumulated misfortune.

Although that doesn't guarantee success, at least it leaves you with something to look forward to.

Leaving the remaining materials behind, You Yonghuai grabbed the medicine, walked to the door, and waved it at the fat man.

"It worked!?" The fat man almost jumped up with joy. "Can you come with me? It's not that I'm trying to renege on my promise, but if the exorcism potion doesn't work, I hope you can see what's wrong with my father."
