Urban Demon Refining System

"Hua Hua, are you sure Princess Baihua is here?" After walking along the passage for a long time, Zhao Baichuan couldn't help but ask. Although he hadn't encountered any danger along the way, he was still a little uneasy.

"Hua Hua!" The flower fairy landed in his hand and whimpered, as if urging him to continue.

"Alright! Let's continue!" Zhao Baichuan was now in a bind and had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue.

Fortunately, there was still no risk on the rest of the journey. After walking for about half an hour, the view suddenly opened up. A spacious hall appeared before them.

"It seems this is where the Nine-Headed Insect recuperates," Zhao Baichuan said, glancing around the hall and looking at the futons not far away. The layout here was exactly like a cultivation room from a mythological novel, with a purple-gold bronze furnace besides the futons, from which wisps of blue smoke rose.

"Zhao Baichuan! I'm here!" Suddenly, a female voice rang in his mind.

"Who!" Zhao Baichuan was startled, then realized, "Are you Princess Baihua?"

"It's me! I'm trapped inside this Eight Trigrams Furnace! Release me quickly!" Baihua Xiu's voice was anxious. "In a few more hours, I'll be refined into a pill embryo!"

"Dan embryo? Oh, I'll save you right away!" Without time to dwell on this unfamiliar term, Zhao Baichuan went straight to the Bagua Furnace and grabbed the lid. "I can't open it!" But even after using all his strength, the bronze furnace remained unopened.

"The Eight Trigrams Furnace has an Eight Trigrams Lock, and the key is held by the Furnace Spirit. If you find him, you can open the furnace lid!"

"Furnace Spirit? What's that? There's no one here..." Zhao Baichuan was about to ask again when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a black figure out of the corner of his eye.

"A ghost!" The black figure floated eerily in mid-air without making a sound!

"I'm not a ghost!" the shadowy figure said slowly, his voice somewhat hoarse.

"Then who are you?" Zhao Baichuan asked. If this guy wasn't a ghost, then he was just too strange.

"I don't know either!" The shadowy figure shook its head, its expression pained. "Who am I? Tell me, who am I?"

"Huh?" Zhao Baichuan was taken aback. This guy seemed a little off!

"He is the Furnace Spirit!" Baihua Xiu's voice echoed in his mind. "Quickly capture him, the key is on him!"

"Tell me! Who am I!" The dark figure floated over, seemingly somewhat dissatisfied with Zhao Baichuan's reaction.

"Um, I don't know who you are either, but I do know you're a furnace spirit!"

"Am I a furnace spirit?" The shadowy figure frowned, seemingly trying to recall something.

“Yes! You are the furnace spirit!” Zhao Baichuan echoed.

"Am I really a furnace spirit?" The shadowy figure was still struggling with the question.

"Oh, no, I'm mistaken, you're not the furnace spirit! You're the nine-headed worm!" At this moment, Zhao Baichuan could tell that the furnace spirit was not in a good state. He made up a vague reply while secretly giving a wink to the flower fairy next to him.

"I am the Nine-Headed Insect?" The shadowy figure was completely bewildered, and its breathing became somewhat unstable.

"Yes! You're the Nine-Headed Insect! Flower Demon! Attack!"

Zhao Baichuan suddenly shouted, and with a "whoosh," a dense rain of petals poured down, accompanied by a sharp cry!

The two skills, "Scattering Flowers" and "Banshee's Howl," were activated simultaneously! The shadowy figure was immediately hit, and under the dual blows of mind and body, it swayed precariously.

"Crack!" A metallic object fell out of the shadowy figure.

"Tricolor Lizard! Bring it here!" Another sealing stone was thrown out, and the Tricolor Lizard jumped out and grabbed the metal object in its mouth!

"That's the key to the Bagua lock! Quick! Press it into the groove of the Bagua furnace!"

Zhao Baichuan then realized that the metal object was actually a Bagua diagram, and there was a groove of the same shape on the Bagua furnace.

"Click!" The Bagua diagram was pressed into the groove, and a crisp sound came from the bronze furnace. The furnace lid actually popped out automatically.

"Whoosh!" A seven-colored ball of light flew out from it, landed on the ground, and transformed into a human form, which was none other than Baihua Xiu!

"Uh! Your Highness, what's wrong..." Baihua Xiu was in a very disheveled state, her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were burned in patches, unable to cover up her exposed cleavage at all. Zhao Baichuan was stunned for a moment!

"Close your eyes!" Baihua Xiu also sensed something was wrong, and glared at him angrily before turning into a wisp of green smoke and disappearing into his pocket.

"Tch! How stingy! Aren't I still your consort?" Zhao Baichuan clicked his tongue regretfully. "Seriously, Her Highness the Princess is much more attractive than Xiao Mo!"

"Smack!" A hand made of flower petals suddenly appeared and slapped him across the face.

"Don't think about such nonsense!" At the same time, Baihua Xiu's exasperated voice rang out.

"If I don't want to, I don't want to! I don't even care to see it!" Zhao Baichuan rubbed his slightly burning cheek in frustration. "My Xiao Mo is still the best! She never hits me!" This shameless guy already considers Xiao Mo his girlfriend.

"Damn it! How dare you lie to me!" Suddenly, the dark figure trapped in the petals roared and rushed out, lunging at Zhao Baichuan!

"Big brother! Let me explain! I really know who you are!" Zhao Baichuan retreated in fear, still trying to verbally retaliate.

Although the shadowy figure was somewhat delirious, he was not stupid and was not fooled by his sweet talk. "Whoosh!" A large hand shrouded in black mist grabbed him and pressed down on his right shoulder.

"Ding! You have been poisoned by erysipelas! Your mobility is impaired!"

Zhao Baichuan suddenly felt dizzy, and his hands and feet became unresponsive.

"Go to hell!" After restraining Zhao Baichuan, the black shadow continued its attack, its other hand transforming from a palm into a claw, slapping towards Zhao Baichuan's crown!

"You're Blackhead!" A powerful palm strike swept over, dispersing the black mist on the shadowy figure's face and revealing his true appearance. It was indeed Blackhead, but his eyes were a strange red!

"Huh?" The shadowy figure stopped abruptly, a look of pain flashing in its blood-red eyes. "You said I'm Blackhead? That name sounds so familiar!"

"It really is you! Brother Blackhead!" Zhao Baichuan's eyes showed surprise. "Brother Blackhead! Do you still remember Xiao Yang?"

"Xiao Yang?" Blackie frowned and thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up. "I remember now! I'm Blackie! You're Xiao Chuan!"

"Great! You finally remembered!" Zhao Baichuan said happily. "By the way! Brother Blackhead, what exactly happened to you? How did you become like this?"

"What does it look like?" Blackhead was stunned, and subconsciously looked down at himself, his whole body going blank.
