A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

After seeing off the three gods of wealth, Luo Fan was in a great mood, but he didn't forget his business.

There's an old conman in the Great Furnace; we need to find a way to get rid of this hidden danger!

He quickly came up with an idea: he first incorporated all the spirit stones he had obtained into it to replenish his energy.

Then they found more than a dozen kinds of poisonous spiritual herbs, all of which had effects on the soul.

"Old man, if you ever turn against me, you'll die a very rhythmic death!"

Luo Fan's eyes glowed red, and his smile was chilling as he threw all the herbs in.

The fire in the furnace rose, and the medicinal properties blended together. An hour later, the furnace lid was opened.

A pill, entirely black and covered with strange patterns, was thus formed, exuding a chilling and sinister aura.

Just looking at it makes one's soul tremble; Luo Fan has no idea what will happen if he eats it.

"Not bad, Soul-Eating Pill, top-grade Yellow Rank!"

This pill should be enough to deal with a remnant soul that has been imprisoned for ten thousand years.

Luo Fan's next move was quite unexpected; he actually opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

A chilling aura exploded within him, and Luo Fan shivered. Then... nothing more.

He's still as lively and energetic as ever, perfectly fine!

If others saw this, they would be astonished to learn that a pill capable of easily destroying the soul of a Foundation Establishment cultivator had no effect on him.

It wasn't that Luo Fan was highly skilled and daring; on the contrary, he was very afraid of death. It was because he had discovered something strange about himself during his years of cultivation.

No matter what kind of miraculous medicine it is, if it is highly poisonous, it will have no effect on him.

I remember once, he accidentally ingested a potent poison pill that even the old man considered forbidden, and Li Chishui was terrified.

While rummaging through drawers and cabinets looking for the antidote, they noticed that his face was rosy and he even let out a burp.

The old man stared at him for a long time, then finally managed to utter, "You're a monster, kid!"

Looking back now, his physique might really be related to the "heaven-defying, immoral physique" that Old Man Mo Chen mentioned.

With such a bizarre physique, Luo Fan must be the first of his kind in history, right?

His being alright doesn't mean it doesn't matter to others. This Soul-Eating Pill was a big gift he prepared for that old swindler. If he dares to have any evil intentions, he'll make him suffer the consequences.

After making preparations, Luo Fan once again focused his mind on the artifact spirit space. Mo Chen's soul phantom was still bound by chains.

He opened his eyes, a signature, seemingly kind and harmless smile plastered on his face.

"Young friend, do you believe what I say?"

His smile grew even gentler. "The pills you refine may seem absurd and unconventional, but under the influence of your constitution, they can often turn the rotten into the miraculous."

The fact that Zhang Tie turned misfortune into a blessing, and that the girl used it to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, is the best proof of this!

What the hell!

Luo Fan was greatly alarmed. How could this old liar know so much about what was happening in the outside world?

So, what about his relationship with Senior Sister Bai...?

A murderous intent surged in Luo Fan's eyes. Regardless of whether the old man was hostile to him, he had an urge to get rid of him as soon as possible!

"Hehe, young friend, don't panic. Although I can't see the outside world, I can still sense some things."

Looking at Luo Fan's expression, Mo Chen knew what the little guy was thinking.

Even if he were imprisoned here and couldn't see anything, he wouldn't be so bored as to watch a young couple doing that kind of thing.

Luo Fan curled his lip. "What, so my constitution is such that two negatives make a positive? Bad things turn into good things in me?"

"Indeed! The greatest truths are the simplest, and all paths lead to the same destination!"

Mo Chen stroked his beard, maintaining his air of otherworldly elegance, and said, "The pills you refine are in harmony with the ultimate principles of heaven and earth; how can they be compared to ordinary pills?"

"Old man, enough nonsense, just tell me how to use this stuff to refine normal pills without side effects?"

Luo Fan was too lazy to beat around the bush. "Tell me, and I'll consider helping you out of this predicament!"

"Foolish child, what is normal?"

Mo Chen frowned. "The essence of elixirs lies in their efficacy. A good elixir is one that is highly effective. People are foolish; they only look at the appearance and do not investigate the substance. They are bound by all sorts of rules and regulations. Why do you need to trap yourself and cater to those common views?"

Luo Fan thought about it and it seemed to make some sense. Zhang Tie and the others did indeed benefit, and Senior Sister Bai even directly reached the Foundation Establishment stage!

If Senior Sister Bai were to take the Lesser Rejuvenation Pill again, I wonder if she would still possess the allure of that night…

cough!

As a normal man, Luo Fan would be lying if he said he didn't want to experience it again, after all, that night was the most ecstatic experience he had ever had in his past and present lives.

Bai Jie's 36D Snow White Soft Pillow is the perfect companion for a good night's sleep; everyone who's used it raves about it.

Seeing that Luo Fan was moved, Mo Chen's eyebrows showed joy. "Remember, do not go against the heavens. Only by following your own path can you trigger the mystery of shared cultivation."

If you forcefully pursue what the world considers normal, what you create will be nothing more than mediocre things, and you will not gain any benefit. This is the true core secret of this treasure!

Luo Fan fell silent, and then he understood.

If you want to improve your cultivation level through alchemy, you need this kind of unusual elixir; otherwise, it's a waste of effort.

Those side effects were due to his unique physique, which, after merging with the Great Dao Furnace, produced a unique Daoist charm.

In other words, once this treasure leaves him, it's likely to be nothing more than a piece of scrap metal, completely useless.

No wonder I used to cultivate step by step, but my cultivation level didn't improve at all. I knew the alchemy techniques by heart, but all the pills I refined were still useless.

The method is wrong!

The old man was right; he really is a genius, a genius unlike any other!

His path was destined to be unconventional!

"Young man, I have already told you everything. I wonder if you can help me get out of this predicament?"

Mo Chen's smile remained unchanged. "Once I'm free, I will teach you everything I know without reservation!"

Warning bells rang in Luo Fan's mind: the sweeter someone's smile, the more ruthless they are at scheming.

He dared not gamble on the good in human nature, but he dared to gamble on the evil. With his special physique in front of this old guy, he didn't believe the old guy wouldn't be tempted.

Although this old conman is trying his best to hide his true colors, he will eventually slip up. It all depends on whether he wants to live or die!

"Helping you escape isn't out of the question, but my cultivation level is too low; how could I possibly break this restriction?"

Luo Fan stroked his chin. "How about you teach me a method to control this treasure and suppress its side effects?"

"It's nothing serious."

Mo Chen was secretly overjoyed and pointed a finger, "This is the Spirit Fusion Technique. It can connect with this treasure, enhance one's divine sense, and in critical moments, it can also be used to protect the body."

The obscure information about the technique flowed into Luo Fan's consciousness, but he found nothing amiss; it seemed to be a legitimate auxiliary cultivation method.

Subsequently, Mo Chen swore a solemn oath that if he made any move after escaping, he would suffer a backlash from the Great Dao.

"Okay, I'll trust you this once."

Luo Fan, leveraging his connection with the secret treasure, used incantations to break through the chain runes.

Click!

The eerie light on the chains dimmed rapidly, and the runes shattered inch by inch!

Bound for millennia, now freed in a single day.

Mo Chen's aged and arrogant laughter resounded throughout the entire artifact spirit space!

"Hehehe! After ten thousand years of waiting, the heaven-defying, despicable body has finally arrived!"

He no longer possessed any semblance of his ethereal and otherworldly air; instead, he was filled with malevolent energy. "Boy, your body will be the perfect vessel for my return to the world!"

I, the Old Man of Ten Thousand Poisons, will eventually attain the Great Dao!

His illusory soul suddenly exploded, turning into a jet of black mist that shot towards Luo Fan's brow.
