Chapter 276

~8 min read 1,499 words

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son, standing in front of the vat, grabbed Liu Xiaolou's wrist, and his true qi injected and wandered through the various meridians. After pondering for a while, he seemed not very satisfied and muttered: "Not fed enough, perhaps the time was too short..."

Cave Master Zhu, who was looking after the alchemy furnace at the ground-fire furnace in the center, heard this and came over. He also grabbed Liu Xiaolou's wrist, probed for a while, frowned, and said: "It should have been seven days, it should be usable... Bring Shi Liulang over."

In a moment, the big-bearded Old Six was brought over. Cave Master Zhu probed his meridians and said: "This one can be used. Take Li Mu back and raise him for another seven days."

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son put the big-bearded Old Six into the vat, used a wooden plug to block his nostrils, and submerged his head. Old Six raised his head slightly, and an iron fork forked over, pressing him down a few inches under the water.

Below the large vat was a small pile of firewood, specially taken care of by someone, and it was being burned with a warm fire.

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son watched the color of the fire, occasionally increasing or decreasing the intensity of the flame with the person taking care of the fire pile.

Liu Xiaolou was dragged back again, and he recommended himself: "Cave Master Zhu, I am an array master, using me to test pills is a waste..."

Cave Master Zhu and the two Zhu family young masters ignored him and were not moved at all.

Liu Xiaolou was locked back again. In the next few days, he thought about fasting, not eating the rice cake. But when the rice cake was thrown in front of him, smelling that alluring fragrance and listening to everyone around him wolfing it down, he couldn't hold on and had to eat it with tears.

At midnight, the big-bearded Old Six was brought back, his body soaking wet, his face swollen from soaking. He didn't know what kind of suffering he had endured in that water vat, and he groaned in pain from time to time, which made Liu Xiaolou feel cold in his heart.

Another day passed, and someone in the corner who had never said a word was taken away. Before leaving, he was tied up with a wooden stick by the Miaofeng Alchemy Sect people, and the Eight-Prohibition Rope on his body was removed, but his meridians were sealed again.

He struggled and begged loudly a few times, and his mouth was bound with a piece of cowhide.

Seeing this scene, the little guy sighed and took the initiative to say to Liu Xiaolou: "Brother Qin has gone to test pills, he won't be coming back."

In the cave prison, everyone's gaze followed the long wooden stick and bid farewell to the pitch-black tunnel.

Liu Xiaolou felt a sense of sadness in his heart. Although he had never said a word to this "Brother Qin" in these days, and even had no impression of him, the feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox grieving surged into his heart extremely strongly.

On the fourteenth day after entering the mountain, Liu Xiaolou was carried to the alchemy cave hall again, and what awaited him was still a large vat emitting pungent, spicy hot air.

"I am an array master, you must need arrays. Miaofeng Mountain is very steep, but if there can be a mountain-protecting array, it would be more secure..."

"I can help you refine array plates and set up a mountain-protecting array. I have a lot of experience. I once designed arrays and refined array plates with array masters from the Pingdu Eight-Array Sect and the Siming Sect..."

"I participated in the refining of the mountain-protecting array of Mount Jinting and the mountain-protecting array of Luo Fu Mountain..."

Under the true qi probing of Cave Master Zhu's eldest son, Liu Xiaolou kept muttering. He could judge the cultivation of this Cave Master Zhu's eldest son, which was just the Perfection of Qi Refinement, but he was trapped by the Eight-Prohibition Rope, and facing the Perfection of Qi Refinement Cave Master Zhu's eldest son, he was completely a fish on the chopping block.

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son frowned again and said to Cave Master Zhu at the ground-fire furnace: "Father, come over and take a look? This Li Mu is still not good, can't be raised!"

Cave Master Zhu walked over from the alchemy furnace with slight surprise. This time, his check was much more careful and serious, and his true qi wandered through all of Liu Xiaolou's meridians. He was a high-level cultivator at the Late Foundation Establishment, and his true qi was vigorous and sharp, and he didn't care about Liu Xiaolou's feelings at all, which made Liu Xiaolou hurt to the point of dying.

After checking for a long time, he lifted Liu Xiaolou upside down, looked at his feet, frowned, and ordered: "Wash him."

Someone hurriedly brought a large wooden barrel and scrubbed Liu Xiaolou again, especially his legs and feet, scrubbing until they were blood-red, and he only stopped when he almost saw the blood vessels and tendons under the skin.

After wiping him clean, Cave Master Zhu reached out to pinch Liu Xiaolou's ankles, probed with true qi again, and pondered: "This Li Mu's tenth level cultivates the Foot Taiyang Meridian, but it wasn't cultivated well. The Fuyang, Kunlun, and Pucan acupoints are injured. Of course, it is also possible that when Wan Shangu and his wife took him,

they were too heavy-handed, so it wasn't cultivated well..."

While speaking, he increased his true qi and wandered through the above-mentioned acupoints. These acupoints had not been opened yet, but they had long been loosened. Being violently rushed into by Cave Master Zhu, they were opened up immediately.

This was forcibly knocking open the acupoint barriers. Although it was no different from opening them during cultivation, the damage to Liu Xiaolou's spiritual sense was not small. Liu Xiaolou couldn't hold on anymore and fainted from the pain on the spot.

A moment later, Cave Master Zhu pondered: "Add a few more spirit medicines. I will write a prescription, and you all have the kitchen add them separately to Li Mu's spirit grain."

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son asked: "How long is needed for conditioning?"

Cave Master Zhu said: "That's hard to say. Check once every seven days, check three more times, it should work."

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son asked: "What if it still doesn't work?"

Cave Master Zhu pondered: "If it still doesn't work, it can only be used as spirit material and spirit fertilizer."

Cave Master Zhu's eldest son was dissatisfied: "Should we find Wan Shangu? We paid twelve spirit stones."

Cave Master Zhu shook his head: "When we acquire people, we agreed that it doesn't matter if they are dead or alive. How can we break our word? Even if he can't test pills, we can harvest his five internal organs and pick his tendons and meridians as alchemy materials before sending him to the medicine garden. A tenth level of Qi Refinement, we won't lose money in any case."

So Liu Xiaolou was sent back again. When he woke up from his coma, rice cakes were being distributed. Today, this piece of rice cake was thrown to his mouth, and he only felt that the fragrance seemed to have a few more unique scents. Liu Xiaolou was an expert in using fragrance. After smelling it, he found that he had never smelled such a scent before, which showed that the Wanshan were dangerous, but also had many treasures.

He ate the rice cake bite by bite. After eating, he had spirit, and he was secretly thinking that he had always been "not good to raise," which was indeed a pleasant surprise. But the reason for being "not good to raise" was actually because of the Kunlun and other acupoints, which made him feel some emotion.

The two Ghost Banyan seeds were hidden in the Kunlun acupoints. It seemed that he owed them, and he lived a few more days.

Closing his eyes to feel the two Ghost Banyan seeds, he found that they were eating greedily, and what they were eating was precisely the spiritual power brought by the rice cake.

This was a very wonderful feeling, as if he had grown eyes where the two Ghost Banyan seeds were.

These two Ghost Banyan seeds, wouldn't they be treating him as nourishment? They wanted to live in his meridians to suck spiritual power, and when the day they grew up came, they would break out of the "soil"?

Thinking of this ending, Liu Xiaolou broke into a cold sweat again. What should he do?

At this moment, he actually felt like he was riding a tiger and couldn't get off.
