Refining Divine Pills Barehanded: Even the King of Hell Has to Step Aside!

"Snapped!"

The air was distorted by the scorching heat, producing a loud popping sound.

The assassin at the forefront was struck in the waist by a fire whip.

That body, as tough as steel, was effortlessly split in two by the demonic fire!

The wound was charred black, but not a drop of blood flowed out. Instead, wisps of blood were greedily devoured by the demonic fire.

Snapped!

Snapped!

Zhou Ran flicked his wrist repeatedly, and the fire whip drew two deadly arcs in the air.

The remaining two assassins didn't even get close before they were torn to pieces, turning into several struggling human-shaped torches.

Strangely, even when they were reduced to ashes, they did not utter a single scream. They simply dragged their mangled bodies and instinctively crawled toward Zhou Ran.

Until the demonic fire devoured their last bit of flesh and blood.

Zhou Ran then walked to the edge of the blood pool.

The seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum had developed sentience. Sensing the threat of death, it suddenly shrank back, its roots stirring up the blood, trying to escape to the bottom of the pool.

"Trying to run away?"

"Come here!"

Zhou Ran made a grabbing motion in the air, and a giant hand formed from pure demonic energy appeared out of thin air.

He gripped the root of the Ganoderma lucidum tightly and pulled it out of the blood pool!

squeak--!

The lingzhi mushroom emitted a shriek like a mouse.

"Too much resentment, it's filthy."

Zhou Ran frowned, and demonic fire surged in his palm, enveloping the entire Ganoderma lucidum.

"Sizzle sizzle..."

Countless black resentments were evaporated in the flames, emitting mournful howls.

A moment later.

That once blood-red and eerie potion has been stripped of its former glory.

It transformed into a peerless medicinal herb, crystal clear and as if carved from jade.

This is the true appearance of the seven-leaf Ganoderma.

Zhou Ran took out a jade box and carefully sealed it.

He spread his divine sense to confirm that no one was left alive before taking Lin Qingxue down.

"Let's go, there's no point in coming here."

Before leaving, Zhou Ran found several boxes of ore in a corner of the warehouse.

"Yin Sha Stone?"

These are excellent materials for setting up a spirit-gathering array!

Although it cannot compare to a spirit stone, it is still a rare treasure in a place like Earth where spiritual energy is depleted.

Without any hesitation, Zhou Ran waved his hand and stored all the boxes of ore into Ghost Hand's storage ring.

Finally, he stood at the factory gate and flicked a flame from his fingertip.

The flames landed on the ground, which had already been doused with gasoline.

"boom!"

A towering fire instantly engulfed the entire sinister factory.

The firelight illuminated Zhou Ran's cold and stern face.

Looking at his profile, Lin Qingxue felt both fear and a strange sense of relief.

……

In the distance, the rooftops of tall buildings.

The avatar of the Taoist Master Lingxu, dressed in a gray Taoist robe, coldly watched the sea of ​​fire.

"Hehehe... What a successor of the demonic path, what domineering methods."

His eyes gleamed with undisguised greed.

"They destroyed my herb garden, but delivered a top-grade demonic cultivation furnace to my doorstep. What a profitable deal!"

"Boy, the moment you step into the port ruins will be the moment of your death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure turned into a wisp of green smoke and vanished without a trace.

Zhou Ran sensed something and suddenly turned around, his gaze like lightning, shooting towards the tall building.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qingxue asked softly.

"It's nothing."

Zhou Ran withdrew his gaze, a chilling feeling of being watched by a venomous snake lingering in his mind.

Someone is spying on him.

Moreover, the opponent's cultivation level is definitely no lower than his own.

As the Panamera smoothly entered the Xiao family manor, the sky was already beginning to lighten.

The security force of the entire estate has been completely revamped.

All positions were filled by Qin Sanye's most elite and fierce soldiers, who only recognized Zhou Ran and had no authority to move even Xiao Hongli.

The car door opened, and Zhou Ran got out first.

Lin Qingxue followed behind him somewhat awkwardly, carrying the heavy "Book of Burial".

Chen Ya and Xiao Hongli, who had been waiting at the door, both narrowed their eyes the moment they saw Lin Qingxue.

What a refined and aloof woman!

She was bare-faced and without makeup, yet she possessed a unique, aloof air that kept people at a distance.

Especially the gray-white pupils that even those thick glasses couldn't completely conceal, exuding a strange beauty that blended mystery and fragmentation.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in her heart, and Xiao Hongli quickly stepped forward and took Zhou Ran's arm as if asserting her ownership.

Chen Ya glanced at Lin Qingxue a couple more times.

His gaze lingered briefly on the two seal characters on the cover of the ancient book in her arms, a knowing look flashing deep in his eyes.

She didn't say anything, but simply walked to Zhou Ran's other side and very naturally smoothed out the wrinkles in his collar.

"who is she?"

"Lin Qingxue, my college classmate, is a professor at Jiang University."

Zhou Ran's words were concise and to the point.

"She will be living with us from now on."

"professor?"

Chen Ya chuckled softly, her expression unreadable.

"Studying archaeology?"

Lin Qingxue was sandwiched between two stunningly beautiful women with overwhelming presence. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating, and she could only nod vigorously.

"Alright, let's get down to business."

Zhou Ran interrupted this delicate standoff.

"How is the old man?"

Upon mentioning her grandfather, Xiao Hongli's face turned deathly pale.

"It's very bad. I consulted the best experts in the entire city, and they all said..."

They say all vital signs are failing, the heart rate keeps dropping, and it could happen at any moment...

Her voice choked with emotion, and she couldn't continue.

"Incompetent doctors mislead people."

Zhou Ran uttered four words, then pulled Xiao Hongli along and strode towards the special care ward on the west side.

Chen Ya and Lin Qingxue exchanged a glance and quickly followed.

Outside the ward, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Several of the country's top cardiovascular and cerebrovascular experts sat around a pile of reports, at a loss, sighing and lamenting.

"It's as if their vitality was sucked away out of thin air; this completely defies common medical sense!"

Seeing Zhou Ran approach, they all cast questioning glances at him.

Zhou Ran ignored him and pushed the door open to enter.

On the hospital bed, Xiao Zhenguo's face was deathly pale, and his breathing was so weak that it was imperceptible.

Although the Gu worms were eliminated, his life force and heart meridian, which had been completely eroded, were beyond the reach of any medicine.

Zhou Ran scanned the situation with his divine sense and found it to be worse than he had anticipated.

The old man was truly at his last gasp, with one foot already in the grave.

"Zhou Ran..."

Xiao Hongli's voice was filled with a desperate sob.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Ran patted her hand reassuringly and took out the warm jade box from his pocket.

The box lid is opened.

A medicinal fragrance that penetrates to the bone instantly exploded out, filling the entire room!

A pot of orchids in the corner, which had been withered, sprouted new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye and bloomed again!

The experts outside the door smelled the aroma and felt refreshed, their years of fatigue vanishing.

"My God! What... what kind of miracle drug is this?!"

An elderly expert stared intently at the radiant Ganoderma lucidum inside the jade box, utterly astonished.

Zhou Ran did not explain.

He pointed his fingers like a knife and made a light cut on his palm.

A drop of dark gold, containing the essence of his cultivation, slowly seeped out.

He flicked his finger, and his essence blood dripped precisely onto the seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.

"Sizzle—"

When the essence and blood came into contact with the Ganoderma lucidum, it produced a popping sound like boiling oil being poured into water.

Zhou Ran held up the Ganoderma lucidum with his left hand, and a cluster of dark purple demonic fire suddenly rose from his right palm!

He actually intended to use himself as a furnace and the spiritual herbs of heaven and earth as ingredients to refine elixirs on the spot!

This scene completely shattered everyone's understanding!

The seven-leaf Ganoderma lucidum rapidly melted in the demonic fire, turning into a ball of emerald green liquid.

The drop of dark golden blood rapidly traversed the liquid, completely refining the last trace of resentment from the blood sacrifice within the Ganoderma lucidum.

Finally, all the liquid condensed into a shape.

A pill the size of a longan, entirely emerald green, with a mysterious golden line embedded in its body, floated in the air!

The pill has taken shape!

An indescribable fragrance burst forth, condensing into a fleeting crimson cloud in mid-air above the ward!

"The Rejuvenation Pill has been successfully made."
