In the backyard of Feng Tianjiao's villa, a bronze cauldron was suspended one meter above the ground. It was simple and unadorned, with many life-like carvings of mountains, rivers, celebrities, birds, and beasts.
This cauldron was delivered by Qianbin from Qingzhou under Zhuo Jue's order. Beneath the cauldron were eight fiery snakes that burned the cauldron continuously. The Yin Qi inside the cauldron dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Zhuo Bufan took a few talismans and set up a defensive array in the courtyard. Then, she carved a psychedelic array, and finally, a Spirit Gathering Array in the center of the courtyard. The entire villa was originally covered by a large Spirit Gathering Array. Now, the small Spirit Gathering Array in the courtyard was like a black hole that appeared out of nowhere. The dense Yin Qi in the villa quickly gathered towards the black hole.
"Bing!" Zhuo Bufan pressed her right thumb against her index and middle fingers. White Yin Qi instantly gathered on her fingers. She reached out and hit the bronze cauldron.
"In the past three days, I've refined all the Yin Qi on the bronze cauldron. Finally, I can concoct the Foundation Building Pill. As long as I reach the Foundation Building stage, I can even block a rocket launcher at close range. This time, I must successfully concoct the Foundation Building Pill," Zhuo Bufan murmured to herself.
Through the help of Chu Tian, Long Aotian, and a group of rich people, Zhuo Bufan obtained the Zhou family's one billion yuan to search for medicinal herbs all over the world. Finally, he collected the medicinal herbs needed to refine the Foundation-Building Pill. Among them, the most precious was a Silver Snow Lotus. He bought it from a foreign organization and spent a total of one hundred million yuan. Moreover, this Silver Snow Lotus was only three hundred years old. It was barely enough.
Then, Zhuo Bufan placed the ingredients in order into the cauldron. She took out eight talismans and increased the Yin Fire of the Earth. With the protection of layers of restrictions, it should be foolproof.
Zhuo Bufan returned to her room. Suddenly, her phone on the bedside table rang. It was Lian Shijian, who told her about the situation at the Lian family. Xu Meili was caught by the Lian family and they didn't know what to do with her. Only Lian Xun was missing. He might have escaped Zhongzhou.
"Gongzi, can I still stay by your side to take care of you?" After a long moment of silence, Lian Shijian's soft, trembling voice finally sounded from the other end of the phone.
Zhuo Bufan frowned and smiled helplessly. "Well, you stay at home with your parents first. If you still want to stay with me, we'll talk about it when we get to college."
Hearing Zhuo Bufan's words, Lian Shijian was overjoyed. He hummed a few times before hanging up. Zhuo Bufan held the phone and shook his head. "I'm afraid I'll have to let you down in this life."
While he was thinking, his cell phone suddenly rang again. Zhuo Bufan came back to his senses and looked at it. His whole body became stiff. It was a call from his mother, Zhou Biyu.
"Bufan, hello … Why is there no sound?" His mother's familiar voice sounded from the other end of the phone. Zhuo Bufan quickly calmed himself down. "Mom."
Zhou Biyu hadn't seen her son for three months, but for Zhuo Bufan, it was three hundred years since he had last heard his mother's familiar voice. He could only try his best to calm himself down so that his mother wouldn't suspect him.
"You, you've been on holiday for almost half a month and you still haven't come back. Is it because your results are bad and you don't dare to come back? I won't scold you. When you're done playing, find a time to bring Ye Zi back, "Zhou Biyu said.
Zhuo Bufan said, "Hmm, I'll bring Ye Zi back to see you in a few days. Your braised pork is my favorite."
"Alright, I'll cook for you when you come back," Zhou Biyu said with a smile. Zhuo Bufan's eyes turned red and he almost cried.
At that moment, three black figures suddenly barged into the yard. They were trapped outside the defensive array. The three of them were wrapped in black robes, revealing only their cold eyes.
"The spiritual energy here is so dense. Is there some secret treasure?" The middle-aged man in black frowned.
"I think the cauldron is where the secret is. Don't you smell the fragrance inside?" The person on the left said. It was a woman's voice.
Hearing his words, the other two people looked at each other at the same time. Sure enough, they smelled the strange fragrance coming from the cauldron. The black-clothed man in the middle said, "This time, the headmaster sent us to inquire about that guy. If we can bring this cauldron back, we will definitely make a great contribution. Maybe the headmaster will teach us an even more powerful cultivation method."
"I'll go get it." The other man flew towards the cauldron. Before he could get close, he was bounced back and fell to the ground. He spat out a mouthful of blood.
The man in black frowned and thought, "This guy's strength should be stronger than the Ghost King. Otherwise, why would he set up a defensive array? It seems like the three of us won't be able to kill him."
"This defensive array is here. How are we going to get the cauldron?" The man who fell to the ground crawled up and held his chest.
"Didn't the Churcher give us a ritual implement? We can use it to destroy this defensive array." After saying this, the only woman had a black bamboo in her hand. There was a thick black fog lingering around it. Occasionally, it would turn into a small snake that twisted and flicked its tongue. In an instant, it would dissipate into a cloud of black fog.
"Mei Zi, are you really going to use the ritual implement that the Churcher gave us? We're going to use it to kill Zhuo Bufan." The man in the middle frowned.
The woman said, "Let's take the cauldron first. We can take our time killing Zhuo Bufan. The Churcher didn't set a time limit."
After saying that, without waiting for the two of them to say anything, the woman directly threw out the black bamboo in her hand. A small snake flicked its tongue, opened its mouth, and directly rushed up. With a bang, it actually smashed a hole in the defensive barrier and directly hit the cauldron.
"It broke. Take it and leave."
The three of them jumped up and reached out to grab the cauldron. At that moment, Zhuo Bufan, who had just hung up, frowned. "Oh no, someone is disrupting my alchemy!"
After saying this, Zhuo Bufan jumped out of the window. He saw the three figures flying up to snatch the green cauldron. Instantly, he threw out three Explosive Talismans. The three of them seemed to have sensed the danger. They had no choice but to give up on the green cauldron and turned to dodge the Explosive Talismans behind them.
"Bang, bang, bang!" The three Explosive Talismans exploded in the air.
The three of them landed on the ground and saw that Zhuo Bufan was already standing on the top of a tree with his hands behind his back. He was looking down at them.
"This kid is so young. Is he the same as the investigation?"
"He still has talismans with him. We'd better leave first!"
When Zhuo Bufan saw the green cauldron on the ground, he was filled with murderous intent. He said in a low voice, "The three of you knocked over the cauldron that I used for alchemy. Do you think you can come and go as you wish?"
