The five-and-a-half-year-old baby doctor comes to the city to cure those who refuse to listen.

"Gurgle... gurgle..."

That dry well looked like a pot of ink boiling over, with black steam billowing out in a frenzy.

A stench of rotting corpses mixed with the stench of mud instantly enveloped the entire backyard.

The temperature in the backyard suddenly dropped significantly.

Zhou Tian, ​​who was guarding the door of the woodshed, was wearing only a single layer of clothing. His lips were purple from the cold, and his teeth were chattering.

"What the hell is this... It's so... so cold..."

The old man in black, who was being watched over and bound up in a ball and thrown in the corner, was trembling even more violently than Zhou Tian.

He stared at the well in terror, as if he had seen the most terrifying thing in the world, and screamed hoarsely.

"It's Yin energy! It's Yin energy!"

"A terrible monster is lurking in this well! Run! Run!"

Zhou Tian shuddered in fright, ignoring the cold, and scrambled into the house.

Lin Jianguo and Liu Zhen, who were inside the house, had already stood up in surprise at the commotion outside.

The chilling black aura seeped in through the crack in the door, like countless icy little hands crawling on their skin.

"Sir! Grandpa! Look!" Liu Zhen pointed to the backyard, his voice trembling with fright.

Lin Jianguo, holding Chu Chen, saw that bizarre scene and felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Chu Chen, who was in his arms, slowly turned his head.

His eyes, which had been somewhat unfocused due to fatigue, were now unfathomable.

He looked at the dry well that was constantly emitting black smoke and spoke.

"After absorbing so much of my spiritual energy, it has finally decided to come out."

Lin Jianguo was taken aback and looked down at him.

"Chen'er, what did you say?"

Chu Chen ignored him, only wrinkling her little nose and showing a look of disgust on her face.

"Grandpa, I'm hungry."

He licked his chapped lips, and his voice returned to its childlike tone.

"I want to eat braised pork belly, the fatty kind."

"Huh?" Lin Jianguo's mind went completely blank.

With the situation so dire, why is this child still thinking about food?

"What are you standing there for!" Chu Chen impatiently punched his shoulder. "If you don't eat soon, you won't have the energy to work."

"Alright, alright!" Lin Jianguo snapped out of his daze, picked up Chu Chen, and rushed to the kitchen. "Wang Dequan! Quick! Tell the kitchen to make braised pork! Pick the fattest piece of pork belly! Stew it until it's very tender!"

After half an hour.

The black aura in the backyard was so thick that it almost enveloped half of the yard.

Those expensive tables, chairs, and benches, once stained with a little black fumes, rotted and cracked at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhou Tian, ​​Wang Dequan, Liu Zhen, and a few other brave men huddled at the entrance of the main hall, trembling with fear.

Only Chu Chen was sitting on the threshold, holding a huge bowl bigger than his face, slurping down braised pork.

He ate with his mouth full of oil, his little face flushed, showing no sign of nervousness.

Lin Jianguo stood beside him, pacing anxiously back and forth.

"Chen'er, that black aura is getting stronger. Should we... call the police first?"

Chu Chen picked up another piece of fatty pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth, speaking indistinctly.

"Why call the police? What can they do when they come? Handcuff it?"

He finished a bowl of rice in no time, pushed the bowl away, and wiped his shiny little mouth.

"Burp~"

He let out a burp, and some color finally returned to his face.

"Alright, you're full, time to get back to work."

Chu Chen stood up, patted his belly, and slowly walked towards the backyard.

"Chen'er! Danger!" Lin Jianguo tried to pull him away.

"Grandpa, don't come any closer." Chu Chen didn't even turn his head. "I'm the one who has to sort out this little thing in the well."

He glanced at the pile of "spoils" in the corner and smiled.

"I was just worried about not having any 'yin fire' to refine medicine, and now it's being delivered right to my door? The service is quite thoughtful."

None of the people in the courtyard could understand what he was saying.

Ignoring the horrified looks of the crowd, Chu Chen walked straight to the dry well that was constantly spewing black gas.

The dense, malevolent energy seemed to have a life of its own, rushing towards him in a frenzy.

But when it was still half a meter away from his body, the black mist seemed to have encountered some kind of nemesis, and suddenly shrank back.

"Little one, you're quite a picky eater."

Chu Chen pursed his lips, then leaped onto the well rim, which was more than half a meter high.

His small body stood in the churning black mist, about to be swallowed up.

"teacher!"

"My little darling!"

Lin Jianguo and Liu Zhen were deeply worried.

Chu Chen seemed not to hear.

He casually reached out from the pile of treasures, and three fist-sized, reddish ancient jade pieces flew to him as if carried by an invisible hand.

"Snap!"

Chu Chen raised his fingers together and made a sweeping motion in the air.

Three priceless ancient jade pieces, belonging to the element of fire, shattered instantly.

Without even glancing at it, he waved his small hand and scattered the jade powder in three locations along the edge of the well, following some mysterious pattern.

"Leave the fire, rise!"

With a low, childish utterance.

On the edge of the well, in the three places where jade powder had been sprinkled, three fist-sized red dots suddenly lit up.

Between the three points of light, streaks of red light appeared out of thin air, instantly connecting to form an inverted triangular rune array.

"Buzz—"

The moment the magic circle was formed, a scorching wave of air suddenly spread outwards from the well opening.

The temperature in the courtyard rose instantly.

The black yin energy that had been churning endlessly was as if it had been grabbed by an invisible hand and forcibly pulled back.

They rammed against the wellhead like madmen, but could not break through the red light curtain.

"What...what is this...?" Liu Zhen stared in disbelief.

Inside the woodshed, the old man in black was completely dumbfounded.

His mouth gaped open, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"An array...an array! He...he actually knows how to set up an array!"

"Based on ancient jade, drawing upon the earth's fiery energy... This is... this is the legendary Li Fire Array!"

Just as everyone was still in shock, Chu Chen moved again.

He slapped his small hand against the huge Nine Dragon Cauldron in the backyard.

"Come!"

"when--"

The Nine Dragons Cauldron emitted a deafening dragon roar, and its entire body trembled violently.

The suppressed black yin energy at the wellhead seemed to have found an outlet, transforming into a thick black column of energy. It was forcibly pulled by a powerful suction force and all flowed into the bottom of the Nine Dragons Cauldron.

Immediately afterwards, Chu Chen took out the now dull and lifeless Tranquilizing Jade from his pocket and flicked it with his finger.

The jade pendant transformed into a stream of light and landed precisely inside the Nine Dragons Cauldron.

"Use the evil as fire, the cauldron as the furnace, reverse yin and yang, and refine!"

"boom!"

At the bottom of the Nine Dragon Cauldron, the dense black yin energy resembled ignited gasoline.

A ball of eerie blue flame suddenly shot up more than three feet high.

The flames had no heat whatsoever; instead, they emanated a chilling aura that penetrated to the bone, causing the entire Nine Dragon Cauldron to sizzle and crackle.

Upon seeing this, the old man in black went limp and collapsed to the ground.

He looked at the child standing on the edge of the well, his small face flickering in and out of the blue firelight, and muttered to himself.

"A madman...he's a madman..."

"He actually wants to use Yin energy to refine pills..."

Chu Chen ignored his assessment.

He looked at the eerie blue flames burning fiercely at the bottom of the cauldron and nodded in satisfaction.

He made another gesture with his little hand.

The five-hundred-year-old human-shaped He Shou Wu (Polygonum multiflorum) that he had exchanged with Old Man Qian, and the Seven-Star Life-Sustaining Grass, flew out of the east wing and landed steadily in his hand.

Chu Chen didn't even look at them, and casually threw the two peerless medicinal herbs into the Nine Dragons Cauldron, which was burning with blue flames.

"Using malevolent energy as fire, and heaven and earth as a furnace... this little child... what kind of deity is he reincarnated from?!"

The old man in black watched the two precious herbs writhe in the eerie blue flames and let out a desperate wail.

he knows.

Tonight, he witnessed the beginning of a myth.
