An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

Chapter 604 Black and Green Robes

Seeing that even the dragon was bound, Xu Fu was overjoyed. He then looked at the transparent man and found that he was also entangled by a tree root.

"Truly worthy of being called an ancient divine tree!"

Xu Fu sighed with genuine admiration.

After the invisible man was entangled, the "ghost rope" gradually dissipated.

Xu Fu got up, rubbed his still sore nose, and looked at the immobilized dragon with shining eyes.

These are the most powerful and rare monsters in the world, and every part of them is a treasure. If you catch so many, it's hard not to get rich!

Xu Fu swallowed the saliva that almost spilled from the corner of his mouth and walked towards the transparent man.

He wanted to see what this audacious bastard was up to.

Xu Fu didn't know what method this invisible man used to make his figure blend in with the surrounding things; this could be considered the most advanced concealment technique.

Only when he got close enough did Xu Fu see a clue.

He noticed that the transparent figure seemed to be enveloped by something strange.

Xu Fu reached out and grabbed a handful; it was smooth to the touch, like a piece of fine silk.

Xu Fu pulled again, and half of his face appeared out of thin air.

It was a pale, thin face, just like its pale, thin hand.

The moment Xu Fu pulled off the man's hood, a bald old man in a black robe appeared in front of him.

The old man's brow was furrowed, and his eyes were narrowed to slits, as if he hated bright light.

"An invisibility artifact?"

Xu Fu looked at the old man's robe and marveled. He realized that the reason the bald old man could become invisible was thanks to this robe.

"Who are you?" Xu Fu asked in a cold voice.

The bald old man remained silent, only squinting as he scrutinized Xu Fu.

"You're being stubborn, aren't you? Don't blame me for being impolite!"

As Xu Fu spoke, a small wind blade condensed at his fingertips.

The bald old man remained silent.

"They won't shed a tear until they see the coffin!"

Xu Fu sneered, flicked his finger, and the wind blade shot out.

The wind blade flew past the bald old man's ear, cutting a small wound on his earlobe.

Xu Fu originally wanted to show off his skills a little to get the bald old man to confess honestly.

But the old man seemed oblivious; despite the cut on his ear, his expression remained completely unchanged.

"Yo ho!"

Xu Fu was slightly taken aback, not expecting his opponent to be such a tough nut to crack. He immediately conjured an even larger wind blade. Although his spiritual energy was greatly depleted, creating dozens of wind blades was still no problem!

"and many more!"

The bald old man suddenly spoke.

Xu Fu was secretly delighted; indeed, the method of "torture to extract confessions" was still very effective.

"Then you tell me..."

"What kind of cultivation technique do you practice?"

Before Xu Fu could ask, the bald old man asked first.

Why should I tell you?

Xu Fu was furious. This old man in front of him was really clueless about the situation, and it was not his place to ask questions.

"Where did you learn your martial arts from?"

The bald old man remained relentless.

"Are you done yet? Don't force me to take action!" Xu Fu summoned his wind blade again and pointed it at the bald old man, shouting.

The bald old man said nothing more, but stared intently at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu felt a little uneasy under the bald old man's gaze, and swung his wind blade directly at the bald man.

Xu Fu didn't really intend to kill the old man; he just wanted to scare him.

Even as the wind blade flew right in front of him, the old man remained calm and composed.

"Whoosh!"

A flash of silver light streaked past, shattering Xu Fu's wind blade.

Xu Fu could see clearly that it was a long, silvery-white needle.

After the long needle shattered the wind blade, it did not continue forward, but suddenly retreated, finally landing in the hand of a man in blue robes wearing a bamboo hat that covered his face.

"It's you?"

Xu Fu frowned. He recognized the man in blue as the one who had helped him at the pancake stall that day.

"Was he bribed too?"

Xu Fu was surprised. He had already regarded this man in blue as a chivalrous person who would "draw his sword to help those in need" and wondered how such a person would become a robber for a little profit.

"Please, young friend, spare him!" The man in blue put the silver needle into his sleeve and said in a deep voice.

Who are you? What is your purpose in coming here?

Upon hearing that the man in blue had come to rescue the bald old man, Xu Fu immediately became wary and lost all goodwill towards him.

"He is my brother..."

"What's going on? Where's the death aura?"

The man in blue was interrupted by the bald old man's angry roar as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Death energy?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu looked up and glanced around. Sure enough, no more black mist was coming out of the gourd in mid-air.

"Those people retreated halfway through the fight."

The man in blue spoke in a flat tone.

"Could it be that the Azure Dragon Sect has hidden experts?" the bald old man asked in a deep voice.

"No, it's...it's just that I have severe abdominal pain and I don't feel like fighting anymore."

The man in blue hesitated for a moment, but in the end he told the truth.

"Severe abdominal pain?"

The bald old man was puzzled.

"I have found out that the problem lies with the Qi-boosting pills they were taking; someone sold them fake Qi-boosting pills."

Upon hearing this, Xu Fu's lips twitched slightly. He hadn't expected that the trick of "selling fake elixirs" would actually work in the right direction and disrupt the bald old man's plans.

"Not enough death energy, kill him quickly!" the bald old man suddenly shouted angrily.

"You know I never kill anyone with my own hands."

The man in blue spoke calmly yet firmly.

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; success or failure hinges on this!"

Despite the bald old man's persuasion, the man in blue remained unmoved.

"Have you forgotten the Shen family's ancestral precepts?!"

The bald old man almost roared it out.

"Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life. Why must one strive for immortality?" the man in blue sighed softly.

"Fine! You don't want immortality! Then think of your elder brother! Think of your father! And the ancestors of the Shen family! Ask them if they want immortality?"

"Life and death are predestined, wealth and honor are determined by fate! Besides, the situation is already hopeless. Even if Father and my eldest brother were alive, they wouldn't blame you. Second brother! You should stop now!" the man in blue said earnestly.

"I'm afraid... it will be too late to regret it!"

The old man in black robes sighed deeply and closed his eyes helplessly.

Seeing this, the man in blue looked at Xu Fu and said in a low voice, "Please forgive my brother, young friend. He was a bit stubborn, but he has now repented. I hope you can be lenient and spare his life."

After speaking, the man in blue bowed deeply.

"This one……"

This left Xu Fu at a loss. If the bald old man was the mastermind, wouldn't letting him go so easily be letting him off easy?

"Here are three Grade 8 spirit pills as an apology!"

Without waiting for Xu Fu's response, the man in blue threw three exquisitely crafted small jade bottles at him.

Xu Fu reached out and took it, slightly taken aback. An eighth-grade elixir was a priceless treasure, and using it as compensation was not unacceptable.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Fu had "Wooden Head" loosen the bonds binding the bald old man.
