As the furnace fire boiled, the dicine soup and tea soup bubbled, spreading along the lines and converging towards the center.
By the ti they reached the center of the dicine ship, it had turned into a pitch-black viscous liquid.
The strange Gu worm was scorched and twisted, frantically sucking the viscous liquid, and its body grew larger.
When the dicine soup and tea soup were boiled dry, the Gu worm also turned into a ball, and its outer skin was quickly dried by the copper dicine boat.
Li Yan now knew the nickna of the Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely.
Liang Yu not only understood tea, but also practiced the "Lingnan Tea Gu" and "Xiangxi Grass Witch" magic thods, with the nickna "Tea Gu Maiden."
This thod of alchemy was simply unheard of.
As for Situ Bo, who was lying on the side, his nickna was "Ghost Face."
Li Yan, though curious, did not speak, quietly standing aside waiting, knowing that the relationship among the Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely was as solid as his and his companions, thus there would be no betrayal.
Liang Yu took out the insect pill, peeled off the dried skin, and it instantly beca a pitch-black pill.
After Situ Bo received it, he swallowed it in one gulp with the tea.
His originally pale face suddenly looked sowhat better.
"This is called the Grass God Pill."
Liang Yu finally explained, "This old thing has injured his Divine Soul and wants to quickly restore his combat power; ordinary ans won’t work, but it cos with considerable hidden dangers that may hinder future progress."
Situ Bo was unconcerned, shaking his head, "I am old and don’t worry about such things anymore."
He then turned to Li Yan, his tone turning excited, "Young Hero Li, have you found the traitor’s whereabouts?"
"Hmm, at the Shu Prince Mansion."
Li Yan didn’t hide anything and recounted what he had seen.
Of course, he omitted the descending immortal, only ntioning a mysterious master.
"So... he indeed practiced it!"
Hearing this, Situ Bo beca excited and wanted to get up but accidentally strained his lungs, coughing violently, which flushed his face red.
"What’s your rush, old man?"
Liang Yu looked displeased but still handed over a cup of specially made tea.
After drinking it in one gulp, Situ Bo’s condition improved, and he cald himself before speaking in a deep voice, "You don’t know what this rebellious disciple has done."
"The Secret Book of my lineage, the ’Hundred Forms Chart,’ was handed down from Jiang Zuo Evil Dao, containing the three forms of human, ghost, and god."
"The human form requires peeling a person’s skin alive and inflicting extre torture in their lifeti to fill them with resentnt..."
"The ghost form involves not only the human skin but also turning their lingering souls into fierce ghosts attached to it..."
"The god form adds a Secret Technique capable of refining ’Evil Spirit’ within it, requiring cultivation in extrely negative places, which is very domineering, with nine refining thods like Ghost Zhongkui and Ghost Eight Immortals."
"That rebellious disciple practiced this thod, causing harm to countless people; it’s all my fault. I should have destroyed the Secret Book long ago."
Liang Yu said solemnly beside him, "What’s the use of talking about it now? You know this thod, so you surely know how to break it."
"Tell us, so we can prepare early."
Situ Bo nodded, "He’s refined Ghost Zhongkui. Once released, it would be accompanied by a hundred ghosts, adept at capturing souls. Using rooster blood can break it."
"Then it’s settled."
Liang Yu said coldly, "Once the other Daoist friends arrive, we’ll seize the chance to confront this guy and help you clear your sect."
"I’m afraid it won’t be easy."
Li Yan said gravely, "According to the intelligence I’ve gathered, there are several Evil Dao experts under the Shu Prince, including Nie Sangu, Blood Nudist Master Ba Dazha, Water Ghost Master Tian Qi, and Black Sect Lama Duoji Zhaxi."
"These old things are actually still alive!"
Liang Yu’s eyes were full of shock upon hearing this.
Though their Bamboo Forest Six Leisurely was a Wandering Immortal Team and had made a na back in the day, they were still inferior to these fearso Southwest Evil Dao demons.
Even if they gathered, they would find it difficult to defeat them.
"Not only that, there’s an even more powerful expert, and the Black Feather Guards under Shu Prince are each equipped with new firearms..."
Li Yan explained the grim situation and then added, "But we also have a chance. Reinforcents from Qingcheng Mountain will arrive."
"For now, we need to figure out what they plan to do. It’s best to investigate from the outskirts to avoid alerting them."
"Shu Prince is holding a martial arts tournant to muddy the waters, surely to cover up his plans."
"Senior Liang, you’re well-inford here. Have there been any strange events in Chengdu Prefecture lately?"
"Strange events?"
Liang Yu pondered for a mont and nodded, "Indeed, there have been."
"Just yesterday, the Chengdu City God Temple suddenly closed its doors, and the temple priest was replaced. The Huangling Sect gathered all its disciples and even detained a few..."
"I know about this."
Li Yan said seriously, "Soone in the City God Temple has been bribed by the Shu Prince Mansion to deliberately conceal the Great Array and secretly assist Nie Sangu. Senior Mingshanzi from Qingcheng Mountain has already notified them to handle it."
"I see..."
Liang Yu nodded and continued, "Just the day before yesterday, sothing strange happened outside the Qingyang Palace. The statue of Laozi actually shed bloody tears, causing panic..."
"Moreover, many pugilists have co these days, spreading rumors that at midnight the Fu River Pier becos haunted by water ghosts, and those who encounter them are often left battered and bruised in a daze."
"There have also been magicians going to suppress them, but so haven’t encountered any, and those who did all end up falling asleep confusedly, waking up with body covered in bruises and clothes in tatters..."
"Those things haven’t killed anyone, so no one cares now, but as soon as it reaches midnight, no one dares to stay at the Fu River Pier."
"Fu River Pier?"
Li Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Those demons under Shu Prince are likely hiding outside the city. It might be their plan to smuggle things at night. I’ll go check it out tonight."
Situ Bo nodded, "It’s not far from here to Fu River Pier, no need to gather people. Today happens to be a festival, so why not have a al and go there in the evening?"
