An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

If it wasn't a birth from the heavens, then what was it?

Xu Fu, still puzzled, flipped through the book again.

On the other side, inside the Calculation Pavilion.

Hu Fan looked somewhat irritable, constantly glancing out the window as if waiting for something.

"Wei Su, it's a rare treat to come all this way. Please try this spiritual tea; I've been treasuring it for a long time!"

Long Dunfeng looked relaxed as he spoke, personally pouring Hu Fan a cup of hot tea.

"Isn't Wei Su the one who hates the ink stench of the Calculation Pavilion the most? Why does he insist on coming here today?" Bao Qingfeng said sarcastically from the side.

Long Dunfeng quickly gave Bao Qingfeng a wink, signaling her not to say anything out of line.

They all knew what the Fireworks Pavilion was like now. In the Azure Dragon Upper Spirit Academy, apart from the outhouses, the Fireworks Pavilion was probably the most pungent place.

"Where did that brat Li Hongshui go? Why hasn't he come over yet?" Hu Fan shouted angrily, looking out the window, as if he hadn't heard what Bao Qingfeng said.

"Don't worry, Wei Su, the flood is on Baihua Island. We've already sent people to call for help," Long Dunfeng said with a smile.

He was already used to Hu Fan's quick temper and didn't take it to heart. Moreover, the losses in this battle were far less than he had expected, which made him very happy.

"Why would he go to Hundred Flowers Island for no reason?"

Hu Fan questioned angrily, his temper flaring even more.

"They said someone had set up a magic array over there, and he went to see what was going on."

"A magic array?"

Long Dunfeng's words startled Hu Fan for a moment, and then he fell into deep thought.

"Teacher Wei Su, you've gathered everyone here because there must be something important."

Besides Hu Fan, Long Dunfeng, and Bao Qingfeng, Zong He, the city lord of Donghai City, was also present in the room. Zong He's expression was calm, but his words showed considerable respect for Hu Fan.

"Is Wei Su going to keep us in suspense? He's getting more and more cautious as he gets older!"

Bao Qingfeng seized the opportunity to say something, which prompted Long Dunfeng to give him a sharp look, fearing that Bao Qingfeng would anger Hu Fan again.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it!"

Hu Fan, unusually, did not get angry; he simply let out a long sigh of relief.

Hu Fan's calmness made the people present tense up. If Hu Fan was so worried, it must be something serious!

Just as Long Dunfeng was about to ask a question, a silver-white halo suddenly lit up on the roof.

As the aperture gets larger, a person falls out of it.

It is Hu Wangshuo's unique skill - the Heaven and Earth Connecting Formation.

The person who fell from the halo was Li Hongshui.

"It seems that Senior Brother Li has mastered the essence of the Dean's formation!" Zong He praised without reservation. Li Hongshui had his back to him at the time, so he did not know that the Dean's first disciple had a very unpleasant expression.

"Something's happened!" Li Hongshui said in a deep voice.

"What's wrong?" Long Dunfeng and Bao Qingfeng asked in unison.

"Those dragons have broken free!"

After Li Hongshui finished speaking, everyone immediately stood up and looked out the window.

"They didn't head towards the Upper Spirit Academy; they all went south."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a slight sigh of relief, but they weren't particularly happy.

The fate of these dragons has not yet been discussed. Although they have left, there is no guarantee that they will return.

Even a single ninth-grade demon beast is difficult to deal with, let alone so many dragons!

"Weren't those dragons bound by the divine tree? How could they break free?"

Bao Qingfeng was very puzzled by this. She didn't know why the divine tree would suddenly "take action," but the name of the Fusang Divine Tree was well-known. Since it had "taken action," in theory, a few mere dragons should not have been able to escape!

"Someone set up a magic array at the sacred tree."

Li Hongshui did not answer Bao Qingfeng, but said very solemnly, "Originally I thought it was just a concealment formation and didn't pay much attention to it. It was only when I was breaking it that I discovered that there was another formation hidden inside!"

"A formation within a formation?"

Long Dunfeng's tone was full of shock. Although he had never practiced formations, he knew how powerful they were.

Li Hongshui nodded slightly.

"What kind of magic array is hidden inside?" Bao Qingfeng asked eagerly.

"Spirit-Binding Formation!" Li Hongshui replied solemnly.

"A spirit-binding array? What's that for?"

Bao Qingfeng was somewhat bewildered; it was the first time she had ever heard of this magic array.

Long Dunfeng was also taken aback, then looked at Hu Fan beside him and saw that Hu Fan's face had lost all color, and immediately realized that the situation was not good.

"If I'm not mistaken, this battle was launched for this very purpose!"

Li Hongshui was speaking to Hu Fan, and only Hu Fan understood what Li Hongshui meant.

"Take me to see this!"

Hu Fan's tone was somewhat heavy. Ignoring his leg injury, he forced himself to get up and limped over to Li Hongshui.

The others present also joined in, clearly not wanting to be left behind, and wanted to go together.

Without further ado, Li Hongshui formed a hand seal with his left hand and drew more than a dozen runes in the air with his right hand before pointing it at his feet.

A silver magic circle rapidly expanded, creating a silver hole in the ground, and the five people present instantly fell into it.

The next moment, the five people appeared on the stump of the divine tree.

"Ok?"

After regaining his balance, Bao Qingfeng glanced around and immediately frowned.

She was in charge of training the students of the Azure Dragon Academy. She had been to Hundred Flowers Island countless times, and the stump of the divine tree was as familiar to her as her own courtyard.

At that moment, she noticed with just one glance that this place was different from before.

It wasn't just that there were those huge tree roots around, but rather an indescribable feeling, much like this tree stump...

It's lifeless!

Hu Fan, upon landing, limped quickly toward the edge of the tree stump, until he reached the roots of a sacred tree.

These tree roots were originally full of spiritual energy and could easily bind the dragon, but now they have become broken and dilapidated. It is not hard to see from the cracks that these tree roots have almost all withered.

Looking at the hole left by the roots breaking through the soil, Hu Fan shouted to Li Hongshui with his last glimmer of hope.

"Bring Xu Fu here!"

……

Xu Fu landed hard on his backside on the wooden stake, still completely dazed.

He had just turned to the last page of "The Lich Wars," and before he could even see the ending of the war, he fell into a large hole that suddenly appeared in the ground.

Upon seeing the people present, Xu Fu understood what was going on.

"Senior brother, could you please let me know in advance next time you use 'Heaven and Earth Connection'? It would be so embarrassing if I were in the outhouse and you just grabbed me like that!" Xu Fu said half-jokingly.

"Stop joking around, come here!"

Hu Fan hurriedly called Xu Fu over, pointed to the hole in the ground, and asked, "Is the rat you mentioned that crawled out of this kind of hole?"

"Yes! What kind of monster are you?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"It really comes down to the older generation's extensive knowledge and experience!"
