Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 127: Snatching the Pill

Inside the quiet room.

The residual warmth emitted from the third-grade pill furnace still lingered, and the furnace cover remained quietly closed.

The three of them were all fixated on the pill furnace, unable to take their eyes off it.

"Has the pill formed..."

Xu Qiuhui's beautiful eyes were filled with excitement.

She was nearly two hundred years old and her aptitude and spiritual roots were limited. The late Foundation Building stage was almost the limit for her in this lifetime.

If she couldn't form a pill before the age of two hundred, then there would be no hope in her life. She could only wait for death and find a partner to establish a small family, hoping to leave something for future generations. That was the only outcome.

The pill in the furnace now was her last hope.

Li An also showed anticipation and excitement, saying, "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious! Let the pill settle, don't affect the quality of the pill..."

Zhang Deyi said, "Yes, we have waited for decades. We can't be impatient. Fellow Daoists, let's sit around the furnace and wait for the pill!"

Xu Qiuhui and Li An naturally wouldn't refuse. The three of them immediately sat around the pill furnace.

The grade of the Elemental Spirit Pill was too high, so the process of settling the pill would take half a month, allowing the pill to quietly absorb the medicinal properties in the pill furnace.

Half a month's time was like torture for the three of them.

The pill was likely right in front of them, but they were all on guard against each other, not daring to relax in the slightest.

Finally, half a month passed.

"We can open the furnace now..."

Zhang Deyi finally spoke, "Fellow Daoist Xu, how about you open the furnace cover?"

Xu Qiuhui nodded. She stood up and extended her right hand, gently touching the furnace cover...

Li An's expression remained nervous and expectant, but in his heart, he was already certain. Indeed, Xu Qiuhui was his most important target.

Xu Qiuhui finally picked up the cover and gently lifted it.

A brilliant light burst out directly from the gap in the furnace cover, making people instinctively want to close their eyes. This light was accompanied by a strong medicinal fragrance!

"This..."

Xu Qiuhui was startled.

At this moment, an extremely piercing sound instantly rang out, directly piercing into her ears, as if it wanted to explode her mind.

Xu Qiuhui's face changed drastically, her eyebrows instantly furrowing, and at the same time, she fiercely slapped out several second-grade Thunder Shock Talismans with her left hand.

She was prepared as well. When she stood up to open the furnace cover, she secretly held the Thunder Shock Talismans.

Obviously, she knew Zhang Deyi quite well and guessed his most powerful method.

Divine Sense!

She desperately retreated, trying to escape Zhang Deyi's divine sense attack.

But a formation had already appeared around her, the Parent-Child Formation set up by Zhang Deyi, directly enveloping her.

"How dare you..."

Fury surged in Xu Qiuhui's eyes, but immediately, that piercing sound rang out again!

Hiss, hiss, hiss!

This sound was not loud, but it was a strange and piercing sound, mixed with the power of divine sense, directly attacking a person's mind.

Xu Qiuhui's face turned pale, and at this moment, a faint light emitted from the white jade pendant on her snow-white neck, blocking this divine sense attack.

She also prepared a divine sense-type spiritual artifact.

But even so, she felt a chill in her heart at this moment.

She knew Zhang Deyi was strong, but she didn't expect him to be this strong!

This kind of divine sense was simply impossible for someone at the Foundation Building stage to possess. At least, it was the level of a great cultivator in the Core Formation stage.

In the entire White Tiger City, perhaps only White Tiger True Immortal could resist Zhang Deyi's divine sense.

"Just with you, you're seeking death!"

Zhang Deyi sneered, while his peripheral vision swept over.

Beside him, Zuo Wen was already lying on the ground, holding a second-grade spiritual artifact and a first-grade superior spiritual artifact in his hand. The first-grade superior spiritual artifact had been damaged under his divine sense attack.

Zuo Wen was struggling to crawl towards the edge, his body trembling.

This person was not worth worrying about. Zhang Deyi focused his attention on Xu Qiuhui. He suddenly opened his mouth and let out another sharp scream!

This sound was like that of a fierce bird.

Xu Qiuhui's face changed drastically. She released three Thunder Shock Talismans to defend against the divine sense attack, and at the same time, she also released two Forbidden Breaking Talismans, trying to break the formation here.

The formation was indeed torn apart at one corner, but the second layer of the Parent-Child Formation instantly appeared, still blocking her way.

"Zhang Deyi, do you really want to go to war with my White Tiger Mountain?"

She scolded, seeing that she couldn't escape, she directly shook the long sword in her hand, revealing the sharpness of a second-grade sword.

She wanted to take down Zhang Deyi while the pendant artifact was still useful, and fight with all her might.

Zhang Deyi's divine consciousness was too strong. Even the Thunder Shock Talisman could only block it for a moment and couldn't cause any harm.

Her pendant magical artifact couldn't hold on for much longer.

But upon seeing this, Zhang Deyi let out a sinister laugh.

"It seems that you two are also at your wit's end. In that case, I'll send you both to the afterlife."

His divine consciousness surged, and a startled scream escaped his mouth, sounding like a wolf howling in agony. However, the penetrating power of his divine consciousness was unparalleled.

This was definitely an extremely advanced form of sound technique.

"No..."

Xu Qiuhui's face changed drastically. She didn't expect Zhang Deyi to still have tricks up his sleeve.

The wolf howl at this moment made her tremble all over, and the jade pendant around her neck exploded directly.

"Pu..."

She spewed out a mouthful of blood, and the sword in her hand fell to the ground with a clang. Her whole body convulsed, and she collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Zhang Deyi's divine consciousness was already very strong, and Xu Qiuhui had continuously released talismans, depleting a lot of her mental energy. At this moment, even her second-grade magical artifact was broken through and couldn't withstand it.

She fainted.

On the other side, Li An was also lying motionless, his eyes wide open, devoid of any signs of life.

He looked like he was truly dead.

"You two are nothing more than stepping stones for me."

Zhang Deyi said, he didn't make any further moves against the two.

Because Zuo Wen was already dead, a sweep of his divine consciousness confirmed that he couldn't be deceived. As for Xu Qiuhui, who had fainted, she still had some use. In case she was obstructed when he left, at least she still had some bargaining chips.

He walked to the side of the pill furnace, but instead of immediately uncovering it, he set up a small formation.

To prevent the pills from escaping.

Zhang Deyi reached out and opened the lid.

At this moment, his hand was trembling slightly.

The lid opened, and a burst of light erupted, dazzling to the extreme, with numerous pill shadows dancing within.

The light seemed to illuminate the entire quiet room like a bright moon. Zhang Deyi didn't immediately take them, but instead used the small formation to suppress the light.

This light was a self-defense mechanism of the top-grade pills. Many of the pill shadows were illusory, and if he made a rash move, it was likely that the real pills would escape.

But the formation he set up had trapped the pill furnace, preventing the pills from escaping.

"Top-grade, they must be top-grade, they must be top-grade..."

As he dispersed the pill light, Zhang Deyi exclaimed in extreme excitement.

But it was at this moment...

Boom!

A layer of killing formation suddenly appeared around him, attacking him.

"What?!"

Zhang Deyi's face changed. Xu Qiuhui and Zuo Wen were clearly already dead, so how could there be a sudden change?

But he didn't panic. He released his cultivation at the late Foundation Building stage to resist the killing formation.

However, just as this first layer of killing formation was activated, the second layer immediately appeared...

"Two second-grade killing formations?!"

Zhang Deyi's face turned ugly. One killing formation was nothing to him. He could break through it later with a forbidden-breaking talisman after taking the pills. But two...

He was in trouble.

But then, the third killing formation appeared...

"Three killing formations?!"

He was even more surprised. What the hell was going on? Someone actually set up three layers of killing formations?

Just when he thought that three layers of killing formations were already outrageous...

The fourth one...

The fifth one...

The sixth one...

Six killing formations, all firepower unleashed!

"Fuck?!"

Zhang Deyi, standing next to the pill furnace, couldn't help but feel a sense of absurdity in his eyes. What the hell was going on? Was he hallucinating?

Six, six second-grade killing formations??

Who the fuck is this person? They actually set up six killing formations here, are they crazy???
