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

The small vortex inside Shen Yifei's dantian began to rotate automatically the moment he was impacted, absorbing half of the force.

After regaining his footing, Shen Yifei was unharmed.

He pointed the Long Sky Sword at Jin Lie, "My turn!"

Shen Yifei gripped the Changtian Sword tightly, the image of his father's sword strike flashing through his mind.

There was no sword energy, no sword light, only that aura that made heaven and earth change color.

He closed his eyes, sensing the presence of that force.

This time, he didn't just extend the blade like last time; he actually swung the sword.

This sword strike was very slow.

Jin Lie gaped, still wanting to mock him. What kind of sword move was this? It was so slow, it was as if he couldn't even lift a sword!

But the moment the sword blade sliced ​​through the air, it was as if the air within the entire barrier had been sucked out, and an invisible pressure descended from the sky, causing Jin Lie's massive dragon body to creak.

"What... what kind of move is this?" Jin Lie's eyes widened as he felt the dragon power within his body being suppressed by something, making it extremely difficult to circulate.

The sword technique that Shen Yifei wielded was the one left to him by his father, Shen Changtian.

Although it's just the tip of the iceberg, it's enough to deal with a Dragon General at the peak of the Mahayana stage.

The sword struck Jin Lie's dragon body, and with a "whoosh," the dragon scales shattered, and blood spurted out.

Jin Lie let out a deafening scream as his massive dragon body plummeted from mid-air and crashed to the ground, shaking the barrier violently.

After falling, Jin Lie transformed back into human form. He struggled to stand up, but Shen Yifei rushed forward and held the Changtian Sword to his neck.

"General Jin, Tianyan Sect, Shen Yifei, will you remember me?"

Jin Lie stared wide-eyed, his eyes filled with resentment and anger, but the chill emanating from the sword at his neck made him dare not make any rash moves.

"If you dare kill me, the Third Prince will never let you get away with it!"

"Kill you? Killing you all would be too much of a waste!"

With a thought, Shen Yifei summoned the Cauldron of Myriad Things before Jin Lie!

He patted the cauldron and shouted, "Collect!"

Jin Lie immediately felt a tremendous force pulling him towards the furnace. "You... what do you want to do!"

Before he was sucked in, his five henchmen, who were still groaning on the ground, entered the cauldron one by one.

Six people were crammed into a single alchemy room.

Jin Lie looked at the dark walls around him and could almost smell a burnt smell.

Shen Yifei's voice came from outside, "General Jin, I have a good habit of never wasting anything. Your fat dragon would be a great tonic if refined into pills."

"What?! It's been refined into a pill?" Jin Lie panicked and frantically pounded on the wall.

The four henchmen tried to get up and take pictures, but they couldn't straighten their backs. This thing was sprained, and it really hurt!

"Shen Yifei, if you dare to touch a single hair on my head, the Third Prince will surely lead his troops to crush your Tianyan Sect!" Jin Lie roared wildly inside the cauldron.

"Commanding troops? It seems the Third Prince commands quite a few soldiers. Tell me, how many soldiers and generals does he have?"

Jin Lie realized he had let something slip and hurriedly explained, "The Third Prince has thirty-six Dragon Generals under his command; they can crush the Tianyan Sect!"

"Heh, thirty-six dragon generals? I heard you're ranked first. Aren't you just a good-for-nothing?"

"Damn it, there's something wrong with your sword!"

"If you can't beat them, you'll make excuses. Let me show you my alchemy skills first!"

After Shen Yifei finished speaking, he activated the Myriad Things Cauldron with spiritual energy.

Gray smoke rose from the alchemy room, enveloping Jin Lie and his companions. The fog grew thicker and thicker, and Jin Lie sensed something was wrong. The smoke bound him tightly like threads, and the more he struggled, the tighter it became.

Soon, his five men and he himself were enveloped in smoke like a cocoon.

What he didn't know was that there was another person like them in the alchemy room next door.

Shen Yifei increased the input of spiritual energy, and flames suddenly erupted from the bodies of his five subordinates.

"He...he's going to refine us!" one of them screamed.

"Help! I don't want to die!"

"General! General, save us!"

Jin Lie watched helplessly as the flames engulfing his men grew larger and larger, their screams echoing incessantly.

He was someone who had crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, and had killed countless people, but he never thought that he would die in such a humiliating way in a little while!

If one is to be refined into a pill, one will be swallowed whole, and all one's cultivation will become someone else's wedding dress.

The flames grew stronger and stronger, and the temperature in the alchemy room rose higher and higher, making it almost unbearable for Jin Lie.

The five henchmen were first burned until their bodies were covered in blisters, then their flesh began to char, and finally they shrunk into a ball of charcoal and gradually melted in the flames.

Jin Lie witnessed the entire process. When the flames finally went out, five golden pills lay quietly on the ground.

Shen Yifei estimated the time outside, and after about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, he turned off the fire and turned on the stove.

Five dragon cores rolled out, their quality was exceptionally good, all reaching the level of top-grade pills.

Shen Yifei picked one up, examined it against the light, and exclaimed in amazement, "The pills refined by the Dragon Clan are truly different; they're much stronger than those from the Human Clan. The Dragon Clan's physical constitution is indeed as good as its reputation suggests."

He threw all five pills to the little monster; without them, it would be quite difficult for him to deal with these people!

He patted the cauldron's side: "General Jin, your five subordinates are finished, and the quality is quite good. Next, it's your turn. Are you... ready?"

Jin Lie has completely collapsed inside the cauldron.

He knew that if he didn't confess something, he would really die here today.

Moreover, it died without leaving a trace, turning into a pill that was swallowed whole.

The thought that he had cultivated his dragon power for hundreds of years, only to end up as a tonic in someone else's mouth, made Jin Lie feel that dying like this was too damn pathetic.

As he thought about it, Jin Lie shed tears.

He never expected that a man who was not even afraid of death would shed tears.

"I'll talk! I'll talk!" Jin Lie cried out, "I'll tell you anything you want to know!"

"General Jin, if only you had cooperated earlier! Why did you have to let those five brothers set an example first? What a pity."

When Jin Lie heard the words "those five brothers," his stomach churned; the screams still echoed in his ears.

"What do you want to know?"

"I've heard that the Third Prince has long harbored ambitions to usurp the Dragon King's throne. How much do you know about that?"

Jin Lie hesitated for a moment, and ultimately chose to avoid alchemy over loyalty.

"The Third Prince started planning a long time ago. He bribed the chief guard of the Dragon Palace. Each of the twelve Dragon Generals in the Dragon Palace has five hundred private soldiers under his command. The remaining twenty-four were placed in various places in the East China Sea, all of whom held heavy troops. Once an uprising is launched, they will control the entire East China Sea."

Jin Lie dropped a bombshell, revealing that the imperial robes for his future ascension to the throne had already been prepared, and which minister in the Dragon Palace had pledged his loyalty to Ao Chong.

Finally, Jin Lie said that Ao Chong planned to rebel after the Dragon Market ended. He had personally gone to the Northern Underworld and hired 10,000 sea monster soldiers at great expense, who were on their way to the East Sea.

Tonight's courtesan, Mo Ran, was obtained by Ao Chong by chance in the Northern Underworld.
