"These spirit gra.s.ses are materials for the master to refine pills. Take good care of it." The teenager's voice was quiet and held no emotion.
Qin Mo stood before the spirit gra.s.ses and gave a soft "en," but his eyes unconsciously rested on the bright red spirit gra.s.s in the corner.
Following his line of sight, the young man spotted the red spirit gra.s.s. His eyes darkened, and his mouth twitched. A mocking smile rose on his face. "Do you know why this spirit gra.s.s has a bright red color?"
Qin Mo's expression remained unchanged, and he stared at the spirit gra.s.s quietly. During his time with this teenager, he understood the other's personality. What he was about to say wouldn't be good.
Even without an answer, the teen didn't mind. He dawdled to the side of the spirit gra.s.s and reached out to touch its leaves. Intoxicated, he praised, "This color is beautiful, similar to the color of blood…"
His face became more intoxicated, but there was a darkness in his eyes. "This color was dyed with blood!"
When he finished, he extended his food, kicked the brown soil around the spirit gra.s.s, and said, "Do you know? Underneath lay many cultivator corpses. Won't be long before we lie there just like them, making the gra.s.s even more beautiful."
Looking at the crazy teenager in front of him, Qin Mo's eyes glimmered with a cold light. This Liu Zhongchi was too cruel. To do so many crazy things to refine pills.
His fingers twisted, and a clear ** appeared, slowly falling on the gra.s.s in front of him. Sunlight shone on these droplets and reflected a beautiful rainbow. Qin Mo looked at the gorgeous color, knowing that he had to take action as soon as possible.
During this period, he had to take a lot of red medicine pills that made him suffer then later turned into spirit power, flowing directly into his body. Now his strength had reached the sixth layer of Foundation Building. Plus the little fox had some strength saved, even if it hadn't recovered from its injuries. He had a certain confidence in dealing with Liu Zhongchi.
"Little slave, come right now!" Liu Zhongchi's aggressive voice came from inside the house. Both the teen and Qin Mo paused, stopped their actions, and walked toward the house.
Liu Zhongchi stood beside the pill furnace. Both hands punched incantation gestures to control the fire under the pill furnace. When he heard footsteps, he threw a dagger in their direction without lifting his heads. His eyes looked at the pill furnace in front of him and said, "Put a bowl of blood out!"
Qin Mo was stunned and immediately understood Liu Zhongchi's meaning. His eyes flashed, and he picked up the dagger, but he held his right hand slightly in the air, wanting to summon Thunderbolt.
"Pa!" A clear, crisp sound rang, and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground. The young man next to him bent and picked it up. His eyes were dull, and not the slightest emotion could be seen. He said with disdain, "Your blood isn't fit for the pill Master is refining, use mine instead."
Liu Zhongchi casually glanced at them and focused his attention on the furnace. He didn't care about their discussion. For him, refining a pill was most important.
The young man closed his eyes and sliced the dagger against his wrist, skillfully.
It was as if the dagger was stuck in midair, and there was no pain in his arm. He opened his eyes in astonishment and saw a purple glow wrap around the knife.
Qin Mo, standing quietly beside him, grasped his long sword and swung it in Liu Zhongchi's direction.
Lightning surrounded the long sword, and heavy thunder could be heard crackling along it. The momentum was terrifying and with only one swung, Liu Zhongchi, who in the teen's eyes was invincible, threw out a mouthful of blood.
Liu Zhongchi's mind was always concentrated on refining pills. In his heart, Qin Mo and the little slave played small roles. He didn't expect they would attack him, not to mention that the little slave's spirit power had been sealed when he was caught, and Qin Mo purchased from the auction house was fed a precious spirit condense pill. But unexpectedly, the lightning fire in Qin Mo's body was the biggest mishap.
"Humph! How bold!" Liu Zhongchi's face was ugly as he looked at Qin Mo, and murderous intent glittered in his eyes.
A moment later, noticing that Qin Mo's face appeared unaffected, Liu Zhongchi's eyes flashed with strange surprise. The spirit condense pill was a secret medicine pill. The power had always been powerful, and few people could break its medicinal properties. His heart turned solemn. Staring into Qin Mo's complicated eyes, he realized this person he purchased wasn't as simple as he thought.
Liu Zhongchi gazed at Qin Mo and intoned, "It's no wonder you dare sneak-attack me. I didn't expect that in such a short time, you have already broken the spirit condense pill's control, and your strength reached the sixth layer of Foundation Building."
The young man standing behind Qin Mo looked at him in surprise. Unexpectedly, not only did he not lose his vitality, but he also increased his strength. The teen's eyes flashed, and a burning light appeared in his dead eyes. Does this mean he has hope of escaping from here again?
He came here with great ambition, thinking he could venture out into the world with his own strength. He didn't expect to be caught by the wicked Liu Zhongchi and brought here as a drug slave. Those who were caught with him had already died one by one, leaving him alone. He thought if it weren't for the unwillingness in the deepest part of his heart, he would have died long ago.
Liu Zhongchi's eyes were like a venomous snake fixated on Qin Mo. Then a grim smile appeared on his face, he sighed and said, "But that isn't enough."
He quickly formed a complex hand-seal. A huge fist streaked in silver appeared in the air. When his hands moved, the giant fist flew towards Qin Mo as if conquering every obstacle manner.
"Boom!" The fist's momentum created a burst of wind.
Qin Mo's eyes were tight. He could feel the destructive power in this fist, but he s.h.i.+fted and tightened his grip on his sword. He quickly performed his sword ability with his left hand and said, "Scattered Sky Sword!" In an instant, bright purple light appeared around him. Qin Mo didn't hesitate and swung his sword towards the giant fist.
"Crack!" the sword and the light collided, and the violent fluctuation exploded from the collision.
"He he, this isn't bad. I really want to use your body to refine medicine, the effect will definitely be better!" As his attack was blocked, Liu Zhongchi laughed without anger, but his expression became more and more infiltrating.
He leaned forward, and his right hand rose upward. He drew a strange mark in the air.
"Watch out, he is using the Immortal Dragon Art!" The teenager's pupils shrank at the movement and screamed.
Qin Mo also wore a stern face. He too recognized this move as the trick Liu Zhongchi used on the woman outside the city. He moved his left hand, and the spirit energy around him swirled, again, in his direction.
A low voice came from his throat, "First style of Scattered Sky Sword – Hurricane Slas.h.!.+" The sword in his hand converged all its brilliance and became ordinary. He stood in the same place and guided his fingers. The top of the sword chopped at the dragon above Liu Zhongchi.
This sword looked simple and straightforward, but it had a terrible aura that could shake the world. The style of the Scatter Sky Sword, Hurricane Slash, could cut the clouds from above and break the wind below. If Qin Mo's strength was stronger, this one hit could kill Liu Zhongchi.
"Crack!" Before the golden dragon was fully formed, it was cut in half.
Liu Zhongchi's attack was destroyed, and his face paled. He spouted another mouthful of blood, and a droplet of blood fell on the pill furnace without them noticing. The fire suddenly flared.
"You brat, die!" His eyes reddened. If before he wanted to capture Qin Mo alive, now he moved with true murderous intent, attacking Qin Mo with both hands.
Right at this moment, a huge figure suddenly appeared in the room with a loud cry, "You are the one that's dead!"
Following the last cry of the little fox, a white tail smashed into Liu Zhongchi, and he flew like a broken string kite, landing in the pill furnace.
The furnace could not withstand such a heavy blow and shattered, leaving only the fire that still burned.
"Ke ke!" Liu Zhongchi coughed twice and fell to the ground. Glancing over at Qin Mo and the little fox, he burst into laughter, "Ha ha, really act as if I, Liu Zhongchi, am someone so easily bullied, I…"
Before he could finish, his eyes protruded strangely, a terrifying look appeared on his face, and his body trembled violently.
A flame appeared before Qin Mo and the other teenager. It ignited behind Liu Zhongchi until, finally, it wrapped around his whole body.
"Ah!" He shouted, and his miserable cries echoed throughout the house. No matter how hard he struggled, the flames only continued to grow stronger and stronger.
In a short time, the fearful Liu Zhongchi burned into a pile of black ash.
