The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Shen Yifei stared at the giant ape getting closer and closer, his mind racing.

There's no way to escape; this thing's one step is equivalent to ten of his steps. He can't fight it either; a fifth-tier demonic beast could turn him into a meat patty with a single slap.

Then we can only resort to underhanded tactics.

As he backed away, he took several items out of his ring.

The antidote given by Qin Wan, the top-grade Qi-gathering pills he refined himself, the Ice Soul Pills he obtained from the cave, and several bottles of miscellaneous pills he scavenged from the dead.

He dumped all of these things out at once, picked out a few of the most brightly colored and most potent ones, and held them in his palm.

The giant ape had already walked more than ten feet away. It stopped and looked down at Shen Yifei, white breath coming out of its nostrils. The stench made Shen Yifei feel nauseous.

"Little guy, you're not thinking of feeding it medicine, are you?" Liu Mengli asked with a smile inside the cauldron.

"Shut up." Shen Yifei took out a bottle of Hehuan Wine from his ring, stuffed several pills into the bottle, and shook it vigorously.

The elixir dissolved in the wine, releasing a strong medicinal aroma mixed with the fragrance of the wine.

The giant ape twitched its nose, clearly having smelled the aroma. It tilted its head, its two red lantern-like eyes fixed on the wine bottle in Shen Yifei's hand, making gurgling sounds in its throat.

"You like this?" Shen Yifei shook the bottle and took two steps back.

The giant ape took two steps forward, its eyes never leaving the bottle.

Shen Yifei breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although this beast had high cultivation, it wasn't very bright and was similar to an ordinary wild animal, unable to resist food.

He pulled out the cork and poured some wine onto the ground.

The wine seeped into the soil, intensifying the aroma that blended medicinal herbs and acacia wine. The giant ape sniffed hard, took a large step forward, and lowered its head to sniff the damp ground.

Shen Yifei took a few steps back, put the bottle on the ground, and then turned and ran.

He ran about twenty paces and hid behind a big tree, peeking back over his shoulder.

The giant ape walked up to the bottle, nudged it a couple of times with its paw, and sniffed it. Then it picked up the bottle, tilted its head back, and gulped down all the wine inside.

Shen Yifei watched as he downed the bottle of wine in one gulp, his heart pounding with anxiety.

The combined potency of all the ingredients in the Hehuan Wine is enough to incapacitate ten Foundation Establishment cultivators.

The giant ape is a fifth-tier demonic beast with a powerful body. After drinking this bottle, it will definitely have some effect.

After finishing his drink, the giant ape shook his head, threw away the empty bottle, and looked around as if searching for him.

Shen Yifei huddled behind a tree, barely daring to breathe.

The giant ape searched around but couldn't find him. Frustrated, it patted its chest, making a dull "thump" sound.

Then it started spinning on the ground, and after a few laps, it suddenly stopped and looked down at its paws.

Shen Yifei peeked half his head out from behind the tree and saw the giant ape's paws begin to tremble. It raised its paws to its eyes, looked at them, then touched its face, making a "woo-woo" sound in its throat.

The medicine is working.

The giant ape began to become agitated, rolling on the ground and knocking down a number of trees around it.

It was panting heavily, and the white breath coming out of its nostrils turned into hot air, wheezing like a broken bellows.

"Little guy, what did you feed it?" Liu Mengli asked from inside the cauldron, her voice filled with curiosity.

"Aphrodisiac," Shen Yifei said honestly.

Liu Mengli was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, laughing so hard she was doubled over and rolling around inside the cauldron.

"You...you gave a fifth-tier demon beast an aphrodisiac? Hahahaha...Little guy, you're really fearless! If it gets into heat and can't find a female, you'll be the first one it uses to relieve its desire!"

Shen Yifei felt a chill run down his spine after hearing her words. He had been so focused on giving the medicine to make it lose its mind that he had forgotten about this.

The giant ape rolled around on the ground a few times, then suddenly stopped and sniffed the air.

Its head slowly turned toward the big tree where Shen Yifei was hiding, its two red eyes staring straight in that direction.

"It's over." Shen Yifei's heart skipped a beat.

"Little guy, it's got its eye on you. Now it thinks you're quite handsome, what are you going to do about it?"

Shen Yifei was filled with regret. If he had known it would turn out like this, he would have just run away. If he couldn't outrun them, he would have been killed, at least it would have been a quick and painless death.

Now look what's happened, we're about to be attacked by a fifth-tier demonic beast... and a giant ape at that!!

He dared not think any further.

The giant ape stood up and staggered toward him. The drug had clearly taken effect; it was unsteady on its feet, swaying and knocking over several large trees.

But it didn't deviate at all from his direction, heading straight for him.

"What medicine do you have left? Hurry up and give it to it!" Liu Mengli stopped laughing, her voice becoming anxious. "It really pounced on you; it could have used you as a kebab!"

What other medicine is there? Shen Yifei couldn't bear to use that fourth-grade pill, the Ice Soul Pill, earlier, but now he has no choice but to take it out!

The giant ape is feeling hot all over, so this is just right for it to eat!

Let's see if it can withstand the effects of the medicine!

The giant ape had already walked ten steps away, and it looked down at Shen Yifei with affection in its eyes.

"Hey big guy, here's something good for you." Shen Yifei forced a smile and tossed the Ice Soul Pill in front of the giant ape.

The giant ape picked up the Ice Soul Pill, and a cool breeze rushed towards it, instantly easing the heat in its heart. It felt quite good.

Without hesitation, the giant ape put it directly into its mouth, chewed it twice with a "crunch crunch" sound, and swallowed it.

After the Ice Soul Pill entered its stomach, frost began to form on the giant ape's body within just a few breaths.

First it was the corners of the mouth, then the chest, and then the limbs. The white frost spread, covering the entire area.

If you are practicing an ice-based technique, you can then circulate the technique to slowly digest this icy energy.

But this giant ape had no skill at all, so how could it withstand the effects of a fourth-grade pill!

Soon, the giant ape was completely encased in transparent ice!

Shen Yifei stood in front of the ice sculpture. He reached out and touched the ice surface, and the cold made him shiver.

The effects of this Ice Soul Pill are too potent; even a fifth-tier demon beast couldn't withstand one.

"What are you all standing there for?" Liu Mengli shouted from inside the cauldron. "Hurry up and kill it! This ice is only temporarily freezing it!"

Shen Yifei snapped out of his daze, took out the Myriad Things Cauldron, and smashed it onto the giant ape.

With a flash of red light, the giant ape ice sculpture vanished from its spot.

Inside the Cauldron of All Things, the giant ape lay motionless in the hazy space, its frozen posture unchanged.

Liu Mengli had already hidden in a corner, watching the huge block of ice from afar, her expression incredibly interesting.

"So this is the thing you used to subdue me?"

"Yes, you're lonely in there. I'll find you a companion. When it wakes up, sing to it!"

"You just put this ugly monster in front of me?"

"Oh, you think it's ugly? Then I'll refine it!"
