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

Shen Yifei lay on the bed, panting heavily, staring blankly at the alchemy furnace in his hand.

Two perfectly healthy people, just like that, gone?

He tried shaking the alchemy furnace, and something inside seemed to be rattling. He then brought the furnace to his ear to listen, but couldn't hear anything.

What exactly is this thing?

He remembered that book, the "Yin Yang Replenishment Technique." He had spent the entire previous night studying it, but it didn't mention the alchemy furnace. Who exactly was the owner of that storage bag, that deceased senior brother?

Can't figure it out.

Shen Yifei put the alchemy furnace back into his ring and struggled to sit up.

As he sat down, he realized that although he had lost a lot of his vital energy, he was not in a life-threatening condition.

"Thank goodness." He wiped away a bead of cold sweat. "I'm out of danger."

He looked around; the room was empty, and he was all alone. Their clothes were still lying on the floor, and the mattress on the bed was a mess.

Shen Yifei got out of bed, his legs weak, and it took him a while to regain his balance while holding onto the edge of the bed. He found his clothes, put them on one by one, and then picked up both of their clothes and looked them over.

A small porcelain bottle fell out of Ye Hongling's clothes; it was the one she had just used to feed her medicine. A storage bag, more exquisite than her senior brother's, was found in Zhao Xin's clothes, embroidered with gold thread.

Shen Yifei also put the porcelain bottle and storage bag into the ring.

The two people disappeared after he hit them, which made him a little scared. If he were discovered, his life would be in danger.

Shen Yifei took a deep breath and hurriedly ran back to his residence.

Back in the woodshed, Shen Yifei collapsed into the pile of firewood and lay there for a long time before he recovered.

Today's episode was even more exciting than yesterday's.

Yesterday I was almost killed by someone picking me, today I was almost killed by someone picking me and then they killed me.

Where did those two people go?

He couldn't help but take out the alchemy furnace again and examine it from all angles.

The stove was still the same stove, about the size of a palm, made of bronze, with a ferocious beast with its mouth wide open carved on the lid.

He leaned closer for a closer look, and saw that the beast had a mouthful of fangs, bulging eyes, and was incredibly lifelike.

He tried shaking it, and something inside was still rattling.

"We can't really fit two grown people into this little thing, can we?"

He tried to channel spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace like a storage bag.

As soon as the spiritual energy entered, his mind went blank, and his consciousness entered a hazy gray space.

Right in the middle, two naked women were lying.

It was Zhao Xin and Ye Hongling.

The two lay motionless on the ground, as if asleep. Zhao Xin was face down, her face turned to one side, her chest pressed against the ground. Ye Hongling lay on her back, her hair scattered all over the floor.

Shen Yifei looked at the two of them, his heart pounding with anxiety.

Surprisingly, the two people were actually put into this small stove.

I don't even know if those two are dead or alive. If they're dead, does that mean I've committed murder? If they're alive, what if they crawl out one day and tear me apart?

As he was pondering this, he suddenly felt as if something had been stuffed into his head.

"The Cauldron of All Things, the Art of Refining Humans!"

Shen Yifei murmured it aloud.

The words were as clear as if they were engraved in his mind.

This alchemy furnace is called the "Cauldron of All Things," capable of refining all things in heaven and earth. Refining humans is one of its methods.

Refining men can produce elixirs; refining women can produce spiritual elixirs. Consuming these can enhance one's cultivation. Those with exceptional aptitude can even directly extract the other's talents and skills, making them their own.

The refining method is also simple: input spiritual energy into the alchemy furnace, think about who you want to refine, and the furnace fire will start on its own.

Shen Yifei was stunned for a long time after reading it.

Isn't this cannibalism?

No, it's even more ruthless than cannibalism. Cannibalism involves spitting out the bones, but this thing, bones and flesh alike, is refined into pills and water; drinking it will increase your cultivation level.

Increase my cultivation level? The temptation is too great. If my cultivation level increases, I will have a foothold in the Joyful Union Sect.

Looking at the two people in front of him, Shen Yifei was torn between his own mind and his inner turmoil.

Neither of them are good people.

Ye Hongling wanted to kill him the first time they met, and the second time she conspired with Zhao Xin to seduce him. Zhao Xin was even more ruthless, trying to turn him into a dried-up corpse right away.

If I hadn't pulled out this stove at the last minute, I would be that corpse on the bed right now.

It is only natural to refine them.

Having made up his mind, Shen Yifei first separated the two.

After exiting the alchemy furnace, he channeled his spiritual energy into it.

"Refine Zhao Xin!"

His consciousness re-entered the alchemy furnace, where he saw a ball of fire emerging from beneath Zhao Xin. The flames leaped up from beneath her, gradually spreading upwards.

Zhao Xin moved.

She first frowned, then shuddered and suddenly opened her eyes.

"what……"

A bloodcurdling scream rang out, a sound of utter despair!

Zhao Xin rolled around in the fire, flailing her arms wildly, but the flames wouldn't go out. She struggled to stand up, but her legs gave way and she collapsed back to her knees.

"Who? Who's trying to harm me?"

She screamed and looked around, but there was nothing in the hazy space except for herself, engulfed in flames.

As Shen Yifei watched, his palms began to sweat.

It's too awful.

It was so tragic that he couldn't bear to watch.

But just then, he suddenly realized that he could smell something.

A unique fragrance wafted from the hazy space and entered his nostrils. The scent was indescribably pleasant, like the fragrance of flowers, like the fragrance of wine, and with a touch of sweet, feminine allure.

Shen Yifei took a breath and felt completely comfortable.

Looking at Zhao Xin again, her struggles grew weaker and weaker, her cries grew softer and softer, and her skin began to become transparent, even revealing her bones and internal organs.

Gradually, even the bones began to melt.

Like a candle, it melts away little by little, turning into a pool of liquid that seeps into the fire.

Finally, only a small puddle of milky white liquid remained on the ground, crystal clear and exuding a rich medicinal fragrance.

With a thought, Shen Yifei felt the liquid fly out of the alchemy furnace and hang in front of him like a large dewdrop, trembling precariously.

He hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and inhaled it.

The liquid melted instantly upon entering his mouth, a warm current flowing down his throat and spreading throughout his body. Every pore on his body opened up, and he shivered with pleasure.

Immediately afterwards, something else suddenly popped into his head.

"The Art of Union!" However, the technique was still vague and seemed to be waiting for his choice.

Shen Yifei almost burst out laughing. This was exactly what he needed!

"Leave!"

Shen Yifei made a decision in his heart!

In an instant, the first and second levels of the Hehuan Technique were etched into his mind.

Shen Yifei circulated his spiritual energy, and the cultivation technique was complete!

"Good stuff, good stuff."

Shen Yifei looked at the alchemy furnace in his hand, and his expression changed.

He then looked at Ye Hongling. This woman was even less worthy of pity; he had almost lost his life at her hands twice!

"Lian Ye Hongling!"

In the same process, Ye Hongling was refined into a drop of milky white liquid!

Ye Hongling's cultivation technique was a seduction technique used by female cultivators, which Shen Yifei didn't need. He only absorbed her cultivation, but for Shen Yifei, it seemed to be better than nothing and had little effect.

It seems that to improve quickly, one must refine those with high cultivation levels!

Once the heat within his body subsided, Shen Yifei felt an inexhaustible supply of energy and casually swung his hand.

"boom!"

A large hole was punched through one of the walls of the woodshed!

Shen Yifei was dumbfounded!
