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

The moment the wisp of black flame on Shen Yifei's finger lit up, Han Lie and the others stood frozen in place!

Han Lie asked in a trembling voice, "How did you come to know the Black Flame of the Golden Crow Sect?"

A more observant person nearby commented, "Elder Han, look, his black flames are very similar to Elder Chen's!"

The Golden Crow Sect's Black Flame Technique is divided into nine levels. Chen Yunhe has mastered the seventh level, where the black flames are pure black with a dark red halo around the outer layer.

"This is... Uncle Chen's black flames!" Han Lie recognized it!

But he felt something was off. Shen Yifei's black flames, besides having the characteristics of the seventh level, also had a faint layer of black mist, darker than the flames themselves, giving them a layered look. But no matter how he looked at it, it seemed eerie.

The black mist carried a chilling aura, something that could not be cultivated using the Golden Crow Sect's techniques.

"What did you do to Uncle Chen?" Han Lie's voice trembled.

Shen Yifei twirled the black flame twice between his fingertips. The black flame transformed into a ring of fire.

"As I just told you, it was refined into a human pill and eaten. It tastes good, chewy like beef jerky."

Han Lie's face twitched several times, and the four mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators behind him turned pale.

They were from the Golden Crow Sect and knew Chen Yunhe's strength better than anyone else.

A half-step Mahayana cultivator, a seventh-level Black Flame cultivator, a figure who roamed freely within the sect. He vanished just like that, actually refined into a pill and consumed by a mere Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Attack together!" Han Lie gritted his teeth, and the black flames in his palm surged, transforming into a fire dragon over ten feet long that pounced towards Shen Yifei.

The four people behind him attacked simultaneously, sending four balls of black flame crashing down from different directions, completely blocking Shen Yifei's path in all directions.

Shen Yifei dared not be overconfident. He had just broken through to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he knew he was no match for them in a real fight.

However, his curiosity made him want to test his current strength, so he did not immediately summon the little monster.

You're using black flames to attack? Then try and see how powerful Chen Yunhe's black flames are!

He moved slightly, flicked his fingers, and five strands of black flame imbued with demonic energy collided head-on!

Five consecutive thuds were heard, and Shen Yifei was surrounded by fireworks, except that the fireworks were all black, enveloping him in the middle!

Han Lie stared at the center of the explosion, his lips curving into a half-open smile before freezing in place.

Shen Yifei emerged from the flames, his clothes bearing only a few black holes from the fire; the attacks from the group had not caused him any harm.

"Everyone, Elder Chen inside my belly is very dissatisfied with your performance." As Shen Yifei spoke, he flicked out black flames imbued with demonic energy, shooting them at the group like bullets.

Han Lie dodged, but the black flames grazed his ear, burning off half of the tip of his ear.

"Ah!" Han Lie screamed, covering his ears.

The wisp of black flame, imbued with demonic energy, burrowed into his wound and surged along his meridians. Han Lie's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly circulated his internal energy to expel the demonic energy, but it seemed to be alive, spreading outwards as soon as it entered his meridians.

"Be careful, there's something wrong with his black flames!" After saying that, he sat cross-legged to resist Shen Yifei's demonic energy.

The Golden Crow Sect disciple closest to Shen Yifei was raising his hand to counterattack when a black flame bullet struck his chest. With a bang, he was sent flying back more than ten feet, a bowl-sized hole burned into his chest.

The disciple looked down at his chest, didn't shout or cry out, and fell straight down from the sky, motionless.

He killed a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator in one move; the power of that attack just now exceeded the normal level of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.

Han Lie's expression changed drastically, but he was powerless to do anything about it. The demonic energy in Shen Yifei's body was left by someone at the Tribulation Transcending Realm, and he was now barely able to protect himself.

The others were far enough away from Shen Yifei that they barely escaped the black flames' attack.

Han Lie pointed at Shen Yifei, "Boy, no wonder Elder Chen fell victim to your evil deeds, so you're a demonic cultivator!"

"Elder Han, don't make baseless accusations. Just because you can't win doesn't mean you're a demonic cultivator. My black flame is a combination of Chen Yunhe's techniques with my own special adjustments. Doesn't it feel good?"

"Boy, don't try to deny it. You've added demonic energy to the black flames! This isn't a Golden Crow Sect technique at all!"

Shen Yifei chuckled, "Does it even matter? Go to the underworld and ask your Elder Chen if it really is true!"

After saying that, he stood up, summoned the Tide Sword, and rushed towards the remaining three people. Han Lie wanted to stay until the very end.

The Tide Sword drew a dark golden arc in mid-air, its sword energy interspersed with black threads, like a large net covering everything.

The three Golden Crow Sect disciples, all at the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, were terrified. The scene of Shen Yifei instantly killing their fellow disciples was still vivid in their minds, refusing to leave.

Seeing Shen Yifei rushing towards them, one fled to the left, one to the right, and one ran forward in different directions.

Shen Yifei flicked out several black flames to his left and right, then drew his sword and caught up with the man in front of him! He pierced the man's back with his sword.

The Tide Sword pierced through his chest, its tip carrying a dark, indistinct substance. The man's heart had been shredded by the sword's energy. He glanced down, coughed up black blood, and his body went limp as he fell from the sky.

The other two fared even worse; both were struck by the black flames, leaving large holes in their bodies, and they fell to the ground.

"Boy, do you know what you're doing?" Han Lie's eyes were bloodshot. "Killing Golden Crow Sect elders and disciples, you're starting a war with the Golden Crow Sect."

"Start a war? Who wants to start a war with you? Nobody knows how you died. I'll refine you into a human pill later and feed it to my little pet." Shen Yifei flew to Han Lie's side, looking at Han Lie who was still using his internal energy to resist the demonic energy.

Han Lie exhaled a breath of black smoke and said hatefully, "Boy, if you kill us, the sect leader will sense it. Our Golden Crow Sect has secret techniques!"

Shen Yifei was startled by what he said! He knew that the Golden Crow Sect had secret techniques, but this was the first time he had ever heard of someone being able to sense who had killed them.

But then he thought that since he had already killed four, one more wouldn't make a difference. He took out the Cauldron of All Things and slammed it down on Han Lie's head!

Refine the Human Elixir! Then, he channeled spiritual energy into the cauldron with both hands.

One of the alchemy furnaces in the Myriad Things Cauldron suddenly burst into flames, engulfing Han Lie within.

Having immersed himself in the Black Flame Technique for many years, Han Lie had developed a certain degree of fire resistance.

Surprisingly, the fire in the stove did not harm him at all.

When refining Chen Yunhe, they had to bite Chen Yunhe until he was crippled before they could successfully extract the elixir.

Han Lie sat in the middle of the alchemy furnace room, without a single burn mark on his body.

Shen Yifei realized that normal alchemy wouldn't work on this guy, so he decided to use some demonic energy instead.

The demonic energy seeped into the alchemy chamber inside the cauldron, turning the flames in the furnace from dark gold to pure black. The temperature plummeted, but the penetrating power surged.

Han Lie sat inside the cauldron, initially maintaining a tough demeanor.

The furnace fire couldn't burn him. He closed his eyes and muttered incantations, silently reciting the protective techniques of the Golden Crow Sect.

But as soon as the demonic fire started burning, he let out a miserable scream, and then he watched helplessly as his body slowly melted away like a candle!

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!" Han Lie's voice was as shrill as a pig being slaughtered.

"Kid, let me out! I'll do anything you want!"

Shen Yifei withdrew some of his demonic energy, and the flames in the furnace shrank.

"I'm asking you, what's the name of the Golden Crow Sect Master? What's his cultivation level?"

"Lu Ya, peak Tribulation Transcending cultivation!"

"Oh, so your sect leader was a duck? Isn't he about to ascend to heaven?"
