The black-robed old man was as thin as firewood. However, with his First Celestial Layer cultivation, he was able to display the strength of an Eighth Celestial Layer. This made Jiang Xiaofan shocked. This old man was really strange.
However, he didn't care and wasn't afraid in the slightest. Because the snow-white demonic beast was right beside him. No matter how strange the black-robed old man was, in front of absolute strength, everything was just a paper tiger.
The snow-white demonic beast swatted with its claw and shattered the energy curtain. The furry claw pressed on the black-robed old man's chest and directly pressed him into the soil. His chest was badly mutilated, and one could vaguely see the beating heart in his chest.
His entire body was almost embedded in the ground. His eyes were filled with shock and fear. He struggled to get up, but the snow-white demonic beast's claw pressed on his chest. It was as if a huge mountain was pressing down on him. He couldn't move at all.
"Bastard, get lost!" The black-robed old man's body was in severe pain. His voice became even hoarser. A powerful energy appeared in his hands. It was even more terrifying than before. It carried a sinister aura. It was actually comparable to the Ninth Celestial Layer.
"Swish …" Just at this time, Jiang Xiaofan made his move. At such a close distance, his figure appeared beside the black-robed old man in a flash. He clenched his right hand and a silver radiance erupted. He ruthlessly smashed down with a punch.
"Bang …"
This punch, Jiang Xiaofan didn't show any mercy. He used ten percent of his strength and directly smashed the ground. Stone fragments flew everywhere. The black-robed old man vomited a large mouthful of blood. His chest caved in. He almost lost half of his life.
The spirit crane behind him was somewhat trembling. It still remembered how terrifying this black-robed human was. It didn't have the slightest ability to resist. It couldn't even flap its wings to escape. But now, it was suppressed so easily.
"You!"
The black-robed old man's eyes were filled with fear. However, after he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything. Because Jiang Xiaofan directly lifted his right leg and fiercely stomped down. The cracks on the ground instantly spread out. Gravel flew in all directions.
"Speak, old man. The so-called Medicine King's Cauldron and the miraculous world of alchemy. This handsome brother is all ears."
Jiang Xiaofan said with satisfaction.
"You … dream on!"
The black-robed old man had a sinister look in his eyes as he stared at Jiang Xiaofan.
"Roar …"
As soon as it heard the word 'pill', the snow-white monster immediately became spirited. Seeing that the old man lying on the ground actually refused to say anything, it directly raised its furry paw and slapped down, causing the black-robed old man to let out a muffled groan.
Despite this, he remained silent and continued to stare at the man and the beast.
Jiang Xiaofan shook his head and sneered. He bent down and said, "Old man, don't think that I won't know anything if you don't open your mouth. Let me tell you, I have plenty of methods to directly search your Sea of Consciousness!"
"Junior, don't be an alarmist. With your cultivation and age, it's impossible for you to master such a Saint Technique!"
The black-robed old man clearly didn't believe him. His eyes were cold and filled with disdain.
Jiang Xiaofan didn't say anything else. He answered the black-robed old man's disdain with practical actions. Silver light flashed in his eyes, and two beams of light rushed out and shot into the black-robed old man's glabella in an instant.
"You … what did you do to me!"
A weak voice came out. It was a little hoarse and carried a trace of horror.
At this moment, the black-robed old man finally showed a look of horror. He felt that there seemed to be an additional force that didn't belong to him in his Sea of Consciousness, and it was wantonly collecting everything useful in it.
"Ah!"
The next moment, he struggled in pain and let out the most miserable scream. His eyes were bloodshot, and his hands tore at his hair so hard that his scalp was scratched.
Jiang Xiaofan's strand of divine thought invaded his Sea of Consciousness, and made him suffer the most terrible torture. That was the most powerful and mysterious part of the human body. However, when things reach an extreme, they will move in the opposite direction. Once the Sea of Consciousness was damaged, the consequences would be very dreadful.
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes were still flickering with silver light. He suddenly lifted his right leg, and then fiercely stomped down. The black-robed old man vomited blood on the spot, and became even weaker. The force that appeared in his Sea of Consciousness to obstruct him weakened in a flash.
After a long while, his eyes returned to their original state. He was a little shocked. The reason why this old man could display the power of the Eighth Sky of Illusion God with the cultivation of the First Sky of Illusion God was actually all related to dans.
Until now, the black-robed old man had already refined many humans and demons with powerful cultivation, and used their flesh and blood to forge a Monster Dan. As long as the living creature had cultivation and developed a powerful spirituality, it would become his target.
He used a strange alchemy technique to refine the humans and demons he captured, and condensed their flesh and cultivation into dans, and then used them to complete himself. This was the main reason why he was only at the First Sky of Illusion God, and only at the Eighth Sky of Illusion God.
Not long ago, the black-robed old man came to the Pinglan Mountain. Within a few days, he had already slaughtered many powerful demons and refined them into dans. Naturally, the Spirit Crane was also tied up by him, but he didn't have time to refine it. He went to the nearby area to search for the main ingredient, but he didn't expect that it would be destroyed by Jiang Xiaofan when he returned.
In addition, Jiang Xiaofan also saw numerous figures and faces within the black-robed old man's sea of consciousness. Among the people who had been refined, there were young girls in the prime of their lives, children less than ten years old, and pairs of eyes filled with terror and despair. Jiang Xiaofan was completely shaken.
"Damned old man, you're even more demonic than the Devil City!"
He punched down once more, and then felt that it was not enough to vent his anger, so he smashed down again. He only stopped when his hands were covered in blood. It was the first time he had seen such an inhumane thing, and he was very angry.
Jiang Xiaofan didn't think that he was a good person, but he also wouldn't admit that he was a bad person.
He really couldn't imagine that someone could do such a cruel thing. Those were fresh lives, and they were thrown into the cauldron just like that, refined into dans, and became someone else's food.
Heinous beyond redemption!
"Don't … Don't kill me, I'll tell you everything I know, I can … I can teach you alchemy, and let you become incomparably powerful …"
After seeing Jiang Xiaofan's methods, the black-robed old man finally felt fear. He saw the naked killing intent in Jiang Xiaofan's eyes.
Although he was comparable to a powerhouse of the Eighth Celestial Layer of the Illusory God Realm, he couldn't stir up any waves here because there was a snow-white demonic beast comparable to a Renhuang.
Moreover, he had already suffered an unimaginable injury and was very weak. Even a cultivator of the microscopic realm could threaten his safety. He was on the chopping block, and he began to compromise.
"Swoosh …"
A fist-sized cauldron appeared in his hand. It was a treasured tool, and it flickered with a sparkling radiance. He said, "This is the Medicine King Cauldron, the best cauldron for refining dans, and … and it's a treasured tool."
"Bang …"
Jiang Xiaofan sneered and kicked out. With a crisp crack, the black-robed old man's left hand, which was holding the Medicine King Cauldron, immediately fell down, and his bones were broken.
"You … You …"
He let out a muffled groan and looked at Jiang Xiaofan with some fear.
A dark long sword appeared in Jiang Xiaofan's hand, and he said, "If I don't kill you, I'm afraid I'll be struck by lightning!"
"Pfft …"
With a wave of his right hand, blood spurted out, and a head flew out.
The spirit crane was a little scared. The human in front of it was simply too ruthless. His methods were decisive and merciless.
"Little spirit crane, don't be afraid. I'm a good person!"
Jiang Xiaofan saw that the spirit crane's body was trembling.
On the other side, the snow-white demonic beast shrunk its body, jumped on his shoulder, and roared at him. Then, Jiang Xiaofan immediately understood. His eyes lit up as he saw the interspatial ring on the finger of the headless body on the ground.
There was no need to look. It was another good thing!
He took off the black-robed old man's interspatial ring and scanned it with his divine sense. He was immediately overjoyed. This ring was even better than the one of the gray-robed old man who attacked him in the Fiery Forest. It had a space of more than a hundred square meters.
More importantly, it was filled with all kinds of materials, such as Bright Heart Grass, Buddha's Egg, Storm Milk, Yin Yang Sand, Crimson Blood Root, and so on. They were all indispensable materials for refining elixirs, and many of them were very rare and precious materials. Jiang Xiaofan even saw a small pile of main materials for refining Golden Elixirs, which made him overjoyed.
"This is timely help. I've made a fortune!"
Jiang Xiaofan was very excited. With so many materials, he roughly estimated that if it was just refining Golden Elixirs, the materials here could be used to refine at least a few thousand Golden Elixirs, which was enough for the snow-white demonic beast to eat for a year.
He rummaged around and found a few small jade bottles, which were all Golden Elixirs. There was also a red bottle that contained more than twenty Golden Elixirs, which almost made him drool.
"Ao ao …"
The snow-white demonic beast growled and reached out with its claws. Jiang Xiaofan didn't give it any. This big eater didn't even look at the value of its food. He threw more than ten Golden Elixirs over, but the snow-white demonic beast kept shaking its head and pointed at the red bottle.
Jiang Xiaofan rolled his eyes. In the end, he had no choice but to throw a Golden Elixir over. Then, the snow-white demonic beast was immediately satisfied. Its big eyes glowed, and it kept howling. The taste of this Golden Elixir was many times better than Golden Elixirs.
Looking at the Spirit Crane's hopeful eyes, he felt that it was really like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl. His heart softened, and he also threw a Golden Elixir over. Anyway, it wasn't refined by him, so he didn't feel that it was a pity.
"Thank you!" The Spirit Crane's happy voice was heard.
Finally, he glanced at a small cauldron that landed not far away. This cauldron was only the size of a fist, about the same as his Mysterious Jade Cauldron. However, the mouth of the cauldron was covered with a layer of fine iron. It was completely black, and there were many holes.
Jiang Xiaofan's eyes suddenly lit up. Although his Mysterious Jade Cauldron could refine elixirs, it wasn't a main alchemy cauldron after all. It couldn't refine elixirs that were of good quality compared to a real alchemy cauldron.
And without a doubt, the cauldron that was the size of a fist in his hand was definitely a top-notch alchemy cauldron. He still remembered that this alchemy cauldron was called the Medicine King Cauldron, and he knew that it wasn't an ordinary cauldron.
A treasure-level alchemy cauldron!
The Spirit Crane Blood and the Mysterious Heart Sprout. These two things had been found, and there were also a few other medicinal herbs that he needed. He found them all in the black-robed old man's spatial ring, and there were many of them. He could try to refine Golden Elixirs.
