The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Inside the Heaven Refining Cauldron.

The abnormality became increasingly intense.

The pale blue light intertwined with the blood-red essence and the crimson essence of myriad fires, like three torrents of different styles surging, colliding, and tearing each other apart in the cauldron, emitting a low, humming vibration.

The stench rising from the cauldron was no longer the pungent smell of blood, nor the scorching heat of smoke, but a strange aura that was both clear and powerful. It seeped into their nostrils and caused the spiritual energy within Su Xiaoya and Yu Shuheng to surge like wild horses.

"This breath..."

Yu Shuheng raised an eyebrow, raised his hand to support the body of the cauldron, and the vibration from his fingertips became stronger and stronger. "It's like tempering, and it's like reshaping."

Su Xiaoya stared intently and saw the three-colored light in the cauldron spinning rapidly like a top, its speed increasing and gradually blurring the boundaries between them.

Under the scorching heat of the flames, the crimson blood lost its sinister and malevolent aura, turning into a deep red like molten gold, as if it had been given new life.

Bathed in the blue light, the raging flames, like a tamed beast, subsided and transformed into a gentle, warm glow.

The blue current that originated from the same source as the Water Heart Sword is like a strong bond that tightly binds the two together, allowing them to permeate and blend together, making them inseparable.

Just then, the little monster from Langlang Mountain suddenly let out a "roar," pointed its little paw at the center of the cauldron, and exclaimed with delight, "Look! What's that!"

The two looked in the direction of the sound and saw that at the center of the cauldron where the three colors of light converged, a pill the size of a pigeon egg was slowly condensing, like a bright pearl.

The pill was entirely crimson, like a burning flame, with a faint blue pattern swirling around its surface, flowing like clouds and water.

Between the patterns, flames flickered faintly, and water rippled. An energy fluctuation far purer than any previous treasure spread out from the pill like a surging wave, instantly engulfing the entire cave.

"This is... elixir?"

Su Xiaoya was stunned, "But we didn't add the herbs according to the prescription, and we didn't start the alchemy fire either, how could this be..."

Before the words were finished, the pill inside the cauldron suddenly trembled slightly, as if a sleeping baby was yawning, and a faint wisp of soul light floated out from the pill.

This soul light was not the sinister energy of the Taotie, but rather a pure, primal power of a ferocious beast, like the first ray of sunlight in the morning, pure and warm.

As soon as this power appeared, it was tightly enveloped by the blue patterns emanating from the pill itself, like a loving mother, transforming into a soft halo that, like a babbling brook, slowly disappeared into the pill.

"I see." A glint flashed in Yu Shuheng's eyes, like the brightest star in the night sky. "The essence of ten thousand fires burned away the remnant soul's malevolent energy, the original power of the Taotie's blood essence was refined and purified, and with the harmonization of the Water Heart Sword's intent, the three actually condensed into a pill on their own in the Refining Heaven Cauldron! This cauldron truly lives up to its reputation."

Su Xiaoya suddenly realized what was happening and was about to reach for it when the pill suddenly burst out with a bright light, and a beam of light suddenly rose from the mouth of the cauldron, shooting straight up to the dome of the cave.

With a crisp "crack," the dome-shaped stone wall, which had been sealed by the restriction, was torn open by the beam of light, allowing the sunlight from the outside world to pour in and fall on the pill, making its light even more dazzling.

"Oh no!" Su Xiaoya's expression changed. "This commotion is too loud; it might attract the monsters outside!"

It's obvious how attractive the essence of the Taotie is to demonic beasts.

Seriously, they can't stop making trouble, and they've dug such a big hole for them.

Almost as soon as Su Xiaoya finished speaking, a deafening roar came from outside the cave, and countless powerful auras converged towards this place, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Yu Shuheng made a decisive move, his fingers forming a hand seal, instantly enveloping the Refining Heaven Cauldron with spatial power, and he shouted in a deep voice, "Put away the cauldron first! This place is not safe to stay any longer!"

Su Xiaoya nodded, waved her hand, and without thinking twice, collected everything in the treasure vault, leaving not a speck of dust behind.

However, Yu Shuheng encountered a small problem.

He had just put away the Heaven Refining Cauldron and was about to take the pill.

Who knew that after the pill flew out of the cauldron, it seemed to have gained sentience and flew straight towards Su Xiaoya's brow.

Caught off guard, Su Xiaoya felt a heat between her eyebrows, and the pill transformed into a stream of light that entered her body. A hot but not scorching energy instantly flowed through her limbs and bones.

Yu Shuheng stretched out Er Kang's hand, which looked extremely comical.

puff!

"Langlang" burst out laughing again at an inopportune moment, earning a blank glance from Yu Shuheng.

At the same time, the stone door of the cave was smashed open, and several huge black shadows blocked the entrance. Pairs of scarlet eyes stared intently at the light in the cauldron, and a fierce aura emanated from them.

Langlang shrank back in fright, his voice trembling, showing no trace of the aura of a war king.

It's unclear whether he was afraid of angering Yu Shuheng or genuinely afraid of the powerful demons outside.

Of course, Langlang was still shouting, "Little girl...so many powerful demons..."

Su Xiaoya felt the surging energy within her body, then glanced at the menacing monster at the cave entrance, a helpless smile playing on her lips: "I just finished dealing with the remnant soul of the Taotie, and now so much trouble has come. There's never a moment of peace in this life."

Yu Shuheng stood with his sword in hand, the silvery-white light of the sword swirling around him. His cold gaze swept over the demonic beast at the cave entrance: "Afraid?"

"Afraid?" Su Xiaoya raised an eyebrow, gripping the Water Heart Sword tightly in her hand. The sword's light reflected the fighting spirit in her eyes. "That word doesn't exist in my dictionary, Su Xiaoya's dictionary!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she touched the ground with her toes and shot out like an arrow. The Water Heart Sword cut through the sky, and a huge wave of water swept towards the cave entrance, colliding head-on with the monsters that rushed towards her.

Su Xiaoya has really gotten angry; it's one wave after another, and it just won't stop...

A new battle has begun.
