Senior sister, I'm going to control you.

We must escape!

If you don't escape, you'll definitely become cannon fodder!

Li Tianran followed behind Wang Yin, his mind working faster than his feet.

The Escape Talisman can teleport a hundred miles in an instant, but the Mountain Protection Array covers an area of ​​thirty miles in radius. If a person is inside the array, the talisman is useless.

We'll have to wait for the Heavenly Sword Sect's second wave of attacks on the mountain; they won't give up the lives of the three Foundation Establishment elders for nothing.

Once the great formation breaks, it will be the only window of opportunity to escape in the chaos.

Before that, let's stabilize the situation.

Let's just do the drug trials; the elixir will cover everything.

Old Demon Han has gone into seclusion to study her puppets and won't come looking for her before he comes out.

The Imprisoning Immortal Basin was his trump card.

He had considered calling out Han Laomo, Ma Rou, or Wang Yin's real names to see if he could drag them into the basin as well.

But whether this pot, which can restrain Qi during the early stages, will be effective during the foundation-building stage remains to be seen.

Even assuming it works, would people respond if you called them by name?

If they had even the slightest suspicion, a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator searching his pseudo-Qi-refining body would have taken less than half a cup of tea.

Once this trump card is revealed, he's truly finished.

"arrive."

The alchemy room was right in front of us, with firelight shining through the crack in the door.

"Come in." Wang Yin pushed open the door, and a wave of heat rushed out.

Li Tianran stepped inside, and the stone door closed behind him.

Wang Yin walked to the alchemy furnace, picked up a dark red pill, and twirled it between her fingers.

"You reacted well to the hematopoietic pill last time."

She flipped through the record book: "Your blood flow has doubled, and your meridians have expanded by three-tenths. This time, we'll increase the dosage to test your limits."

She held the pill to his lips with a smile: "It's your good fortune to be able to try the second round. Others wouldn't even get a chance to try."

Li Tianran's lips twitched.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name 1110 ...

Good fortune? Damn it, good fortune earned with my life.

He readily opened his mouth and took the medicine.

But just as he swallowed it, Wang Yin slapped his butt again, not too hard, not too soft.

...Li Tianran mentally fucked the childlike face in front of him a dozen times.

Wang Yin said seriously, "I'll help improve your blood circulation so the medicine will work faster. Go sit over there, and don't scream if it hurts, or I won't pay attention to you."

"Thank you, Uncle Wang."

He spoke calmly, sat down on the wooden chair by the wall, his mind still racing.

After this round, no matter what Wang Yin says, he has to find a chance to go down the mountain; he can't delay any longer.

The medicine dissolves in the body.

A surge of heat flowed from my stomach to my limbs; it wasn't burning, but rather bursting out from between my bones.

My spine felt like it was being crushed vertebra by vertebra and then forcibly put back together, and every rib was vibrating.

My heart was pounding wildly, faster than a human's.

At the same time, the blood-jade horn on his forehead began to go crazy, popping out, shrinking back, popping out again, shrinking back again, tossing and turning, making his skull feel like it was being hammered from the inside out by a chisel.

He could feel the medicine forcefully stretching open all the meridians in his body, and the dense blood vessels under his skin bulging up, as if something was weaving a dark red spider web in his flesh.

From the back of his hands to his forearms, from his chest to his neck, his whole face looked like a ghost.

White hair fell across his face, and the Blood Jade Horn turned deep red in pain, gleaming with an eerie blood-red light.

He bit his cheek and didn't make a sound.

It's not that I'm being obedient, it's that I don't want her to see it.

While Wang Yin turned around to adjust the alchemy furnace, he took a sip of the immortal water prepared in the Immortal Imprisoning Basin.

After swallowing the elixir, the burning pain immediately subsided by more than half.

But this time it was different. The medicinal power was suppressed by the immortal water, but then surged back up, even more potent than before.

Like the tide, one layer recedes while another rises, each layer pushing him into deeper pain.

The body is being forcibly altered, and the consciousness is in a tug-of-war with the effects of the drug.

It's not about stubbornly resisting; it's about biting your cheek and pulling your soul back every time you're about to be submerged.

Wang Yin had turned around at some point.

She didn't take notes; she just squatted down beside him, tilting her head, her doll-like face expressionless, unusually focused.

She reached out and rubbed the beads of blood seeping from his forehead with her fingertips, then looked at them in front of her eyes.

Then, his gaze moved from the corner of his forehead to the veins on his face, and then to the bulging veins on his neck, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.

Li Tianran opened his eyes and met her gaze.

Those almond-shaped eyes held not pity, but satisfaction.

"Uncle-Master Wang, have you seen enough?"

Wang Yin blinked, but instead of backing away, she moved her face even closer, half an inch closer.

"not yet."

She reached out and pinched his chin, turning his face over to look at his forehead. The blood jade horn had already shrunk back, leaving only a very faint red mark.

She pressed the mark with her fingertip and then looked at his eyelids.

Then, my fingers rested on the dark red line on the side of his neck that hadn't faded yet, and I pressed down gently; it was very hot.

"They stayed as expected."

Wang Yin's voice was very soft, but filled with barely suppressed excitement: "The horn can retract on its own, the blood flow rate is almost twice as fast as the last round, and the meridian carrying capacity has also increased."

"At the pseudo-Qi Refinement level, your physical foundation is at least 30% stronger than that of other cultivators at the same level. No one in your realm can compare to you."

Li Tianran lay on the ground, his chest still heaving violently.

Wang Yin stood up and looked down at him, her dimples reappearing on her baby face.

"It's done. The second round of the Blood-Regenerating Pill is successful. You really are a good candidate."

Good materials?

Li Tianran's lips twitched slightly.

But he also realized that she wasn't being sarcastic; she was genuinely praising him.

It's just that her way of praising people is different from normal people.

He sat up from the ground and looked down at his hands.

The bluish-black hue has completely faded, turning into a uniform blood-red color.

He closed his eyes and tried to control the mark on his forehead with his mind. The horn emerged from under his skin, warm and translucent, with a blood-red hue.

It retracts, then extends, then retracts again.

It's under control now.

He clenched his fist, his spiritual energy flowing much more smoothly than before, and the burst of sound when he clenched his fist was significantly reduced.

My body is more proportionate than before, and the muscles in my arms are firmer, unlike the skinny, muscular look of before.

The white hair was still there, but paired with the face that was no longer bluish, it didn't look so scary anymore.

When his horns pop out, he looks like a noble young master of the demon race; when they retract, he looks like a proper cultivator. He can decide which of the two appearances he wants.

But just as the excitement was building, he realized something was wrong.

A hollow pain came from deep within my meridians; it wasn't pain, but emptiness, as if something had been drawn away.

He tried circulating his spiritual energy, and it went smoothly, but with each rotation, his dantian felt a little empty.

It's not the kind of emptiness that comes from running out of spiritual energy; it's the leakage from those tiny cracks in the walls of the meridians.

The surface has been freshly painted, but the bricks inside are cracked.

So what if it's a fake ninth level of Qi Refining?

This body is barely holding on right now. Let alone breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage, it might not even be able to maintain its pseudo-Qi cultivation in the long run.

He released his grip, pressing the soreness back deep into his dantian.

It was truly exhilarating, but also truly unsettling.

Damn it, he himself can't even say whether he made a profit or a loss on this deal.

Wang Yin was writing furiously beside her, muttering, "Angles are controllable, skin discoloration fades away, blood flow doubles, and meridian capacity meets standards."

She looked up at him, and there was a light in her almond-shaped eyes that he had never seen before, a fervent light, like something someone had waited too long for had finally been revealed.

"Alright, that's enough for today's drug trial. You can go now."

Hearing this, Li Tianran was surprised.

But without any hesitation, he immediately stood up and walked towards the door, glancing back at it as he reached the door.

Wang Yin carefully placed the unused pill back on the pill shelf.

He withdrew his gaze and pushed open the stone door.

What Wang Yin refined was definitely not as simple as a blood-forming pill.

Outside Blood Cauldron Peak, the gray fog was thick.

A muffled thud could be faintly heard in the distance, as if something had crashed into the protective array of the mountain.

Ok?

He paused for a moment.

Normally, the Blood Spirit Sect wouldn't make such a big commotion!

Did the Heavenly Sword Sect attack the mountain?

No, if they were really going to attack the mountain, Wang Yin wouldn't have been so calm as to use him as a test subject for her pills.

The Heavenly Sword Sect has probably learned its lesson and is likely testing the waters; they're not far from making a real move.

good chance!

Li Tianran quickened his pace and walked towards the cave.

Go back and soak in the elixir first to replenish your meridians, then hurry down the mountain!
