An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

With a muffled groan, Xu Fu flew backwards. The feeling was just like the time when Bai Yu hit him with a jade bracelet.

However, Xu Fu was very clear that his body was several times stronger than it was back then. Even so, he still could not withstand the attack of the gold nugget, which showed how powerful the gold nugget was.

"Doll! Doll!"

After the fat Taoist took back the gold bricks, he looked quite proud. However, when he saw that Xu Fu was slow to get up, he realized something and hurriedly stepped forward to call out to him.

Xu Fu heard the fat Taoist's shouting, but did not open his eyes. This was a strategy that he suddenly thought of after being tricked. He was ready to see what kind of person this fat Taoist was.

If the other party tries his best to rescue, then that's fine. If he wants to kill to silence the witness, then there will be no burden in being ruthless.

"You must not die!"

The fat Taoist's voice trembled. He put his head on Xu Fu's chest and listened. He found that there was still a heartbeat. He hurriedly grabbed Xu Fu, carried him on his shoulders, and ran quickly into the cave.

"I'm in trouble! I'm in trouble!"

The fat Taoist priest muttered nervously as he laid Xu Fu flat on a stone bed and groped his body back and forth with his hands, which were glowing with a faint light.

Xu Fu only felt that a pure spiritual power was entering his body as the fat Taoist explored it. His chest and arms, which had been aching slightly, soon recovered.

"This healing technique is really amazing!"

Xu Fu sighed in his heart and opened his eyes with some "effort".

He wanted to pretend for a while longer, but he really couldn't stand a grown man touching him.

"Luckily I'm not dead!"

The fat Taoist breathed a sigh of relief, stopped groping, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and took a few deep breaths.

"Cough cough..."

Xu Fu covered his chest and coughed heavily a few times, looking as if he had suffered serious internal injuries.

"Baby! What's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, the fat Taoist became nervous again.

"It's okay, just... chest tightness... shortness of breath..." Xu Fu answered "weakly" while gasping for breath.

"Why... why is the healing spell not working?"

The fat Taoist looked a little panicked, and sweat began to form on his forehead again.

"Don't blame me, Taoist priest. I was born with a heart disease that cannot be cured. I heard that there is a Five Lotus Pond in this mountain and the lotus seeds in the pond may be able to cure it, so I came here from afar to look for medicine, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

When Xu Fu finished speaking, all that was left was a long sigh.

"Perhaps this is my fate. I am destined to die here. I dare not defile the Taoist's place of meditation. I will leave now."

After Xu Fu said "helpless", he was about to stand up, but his feet went weak and he almost fell to the ground.

The fat Taoist priest quickly supported Xu Fu and let him sit back on the stone bed.

"Hey kid! Don't say such discouraging words!"

The fat Taoist became anxious, thinking that the gold brick he threw triggered the old illness of the young man in front of him, and hurried to comfort him.

"Is this the Wulian Pond you mentioned?"

The fat Taoist pointed behind Xu Fu. Xu Fu turned his head and looked over there, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Not far behind the stone bed, there was a square pool about two meters long and ten meters wide. In the pool, there were more than a dozen lotus leaves of different sizes, and three lotus flowers standing in the middle, blooming very beautifully.

"Is this the Immaculate Lotus?" Xu Fu asked Bai Ze nervously.

Bai Ze did not answer.

"Old White? Old White? King Bai Ze?"

Xu Fu thought Bai Ze didn't hear him, and asked again using his divine sense, but Bai Ze remained silent.

"Is this it?" The fat Taoist felt a little unsure when he saw Xu Fu remained silent.

"You don't recognize him either? Then why are you practicing here?" Xu Fu was a little surprised.

"More than a decade ago, I was traveling around and passed by a nearby village. I saw a leopard demon causing trouble, so I wanted to get rid of it. I chased it all the way here and killed it. Later, I found that this place was full of spiritual energy, so I cleaned it up and used it as a cave for cultivation."

"I see."

After listening to the fat Taoist's introduction, Xu Fu turned his gaze to the lotus pond.

"Never mind, let's try it first."

Xu Fu made up his mind. It was so hard to find this place, so he couldn't go back empty-handed. These lotus seeds couldn't be poisonous, right?

"Thank you, Immortal, for picking a lotus pod for me." Xu Fu said politely.

"You are lucky. There is only one lotus pod in this pond."

As the fat Taoist priest spoke, he walked on the water, pulled apart a few lotus leaves, and indeed found a green lotus pod.

After bringing the lotus pod back, the fat Taoist gave it to Xu Fu without thinking.

Xu Fu took it somewhat awkwardly. He had expected to encounter many difficulties, but he had never thought it would be so smooth.

However, Xu Fu did not feel happy too soon. When he held the lotus pod in his hand, he could not sense any spiritual energy at all, as if it was just an ordinary lotus pod.

Gently peeling open the lotus pod and taking out a lotus seed, Xu Fu frowned slightly. The fat Taoist also leaned over curiously.

"What's going on?" The fat Taoist asked in surprise. He found that the lotus seed in the boy's hand was just an empty shell, which flattened with a casual pinch.

Xu Fu suddenly panicked and peeled all the lotus seeds as quickly as possible and pinched them one by one.

"Two!"

Xu Fu looked at the two lotus seeds that were not crushed and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Why are you here?"

The fat Taoist was also puzzled, but he couldn't figure it out.

"Please protect me, Immortal."

Xu Fu didn't care anymore. He picked up one and put it into his mouth, then sat cross-legged on the stone bed and began to refine it.

The skin of the lotus seeds was very hard. Xu Fu tried to bite it but couldn't, so he just swallowed it whole.

Surprisingly, the hard shell of the lotus seed melted quickly once it entered the stomach, and then a tremendous amount of spiritual power was released.

Xu Fu groaned. He felt the spiritual power in the lotus seeds quickly flow into his meridians like the rising tide of sea water entering a river estuary.

Xu Fu discovered that these spiritual powers did not need to be refined at all. They even bypassed the inner elixir and "invaded" into his meridians throughout his body without any hindrance.

"It hurts!"

Xu Fu felt a splitting headache, as if thousands of needles were piercing his head.

Xu Fu was very familiar with this kind of pain. It was similar to the feeling of clearing his meridians when he was practicing earlier, but maybe because it was on his head, it hurt a little more than before.

Xu Fu knew clearly why this happened. After all, most martial arts would not cultivate the meridians in the head. Except for the areas near the eyes, the meridians in other parts of the body would be forcibly squeezed open by this huge amount of spiritual power, which naturally caused severe pain.

Fortunately, Xu Fu's meridians had been "damaged" by the Qi Xin Dan, and except for his head, other parts of his body only felt swollen.

After this violent outburst, the spiritual power in the lotus seeds slowly calmed down, and the tingling headache gradually dissipated.

Xu Fu took a few deep breaths and felt that although his headache was relieved, he still felt a little dizzy.

Suddenly, Xu Fu felt as if he was being sucked up into the sky and into an illusory space.
