So, after giving itself a pep talk, it once again searched for suitable flashes of memory in that boundless ocean of memories.
"Hmm...this light spot looks pretty good?"
Finally, the wisp of smoke stopped in front of a point of light, a point of light that looked colorful and was very pleasing to the eye.
Even Fu Yan herself was infected by that feeling of pleasure, and was quite confident that she would definitely not make the same mistakes as before, nor would she encounter any terrifying things like star gods.
With that thought in mind, Fuyan plunged headlong into the spot of light once again.
Upon entering, Fu Yan found that her surroundings had instantly transformed into the appearance of a circus, and in the middle of the circus, a man wearing a clown mask seemed to be performing magic tricks.
"Now, our Leziren Theater Troupe needs a lucky audience member to perform a cutting magic trick. Is anyone willing to come?"
The man wearing the clown mask suddenly spoke, and the surrounding audience shook their heads.
"Oh dear, it seems the audience isn't too keen. That won't do. It won't be fun if no one cooperates. How about this, I'll forcibly designate a lucky audience member to help."
After the clown-masked man said those words, Fu Yan immediately sensed something was wrong.
Meanwhile, the circus lights began to drift randomly.
Upon seeing this, the floating smoke immediately took flight, attempting to avoid the lights that were being used to select the lucky audience.
But those lights were like they were equipped with trackers; almost instantly, several lights locked onto Fu Yan.
"It seems our lucky audience member is very active, which is great. Our Leziren Theater Troupe loves active people like this the most. Now, please welcome our lucky audience member to come forward."
After saying that, the man in the clown mask started the cutting machine. "Gentlemen, the show is about to begin."
"No, I don't want to be some lucky audience member, get out of here!"
Fu Yan unleashed her power, stunning the surrounding audience. "You trash think you're worthy of my cooperation?"
It emitted a sharp shriek.
"It's so much fun! The audience members who come to watch the circus have become the source of amusement themselves."
The clown-masked man clapped his hands, "I really like this scene, can we have something more interesting?"
"Stop pretending, all of you get out of the way!"
The smoke erupted again, blowing the audience away.
"Hey, I think it might be fun to curb this arrogant guy's arrogance a bit~"
"And you're a lucky audience member, so you've agreed to cooperate and can't run away."
As soon as those words were spoken, Fu Yan felt dizzy and disoriented. She didn't know when she had appeared in front of the masked man, and the cutting machine was slicing down on her.
"Ahhhhh!!"
Fuyan cried out in pain. Although it managed to shrink its body at the critical moment, it felt that at least a third of its body had been cut open.
She began to flee in a panic, ignoring her severed body, and used almost all her strength to escape from the scene of her memory.
It didn't know who this masked man was, but it knew that this guy was far more dangerous than the previous two Star Gods.
It pierced through the dream scene like a shooting star.
Just after it broke through this spot, it discovered that another light spot had drifted over from nearby. It didn't have time to brake and crashed into it.
It watched helplessly as it crashed into the room, which looked like a celestial ship, and landed directly in the middle of a huge place that resembled a pill furnace.
……
Chapter 775 Aha: You guys, stop stalking that little girl!
Where is this place?
Fuyan's entire body was trembling violently. Although it didn't see anyone here for the time being, it had a very bad feeling.
It wanted to break through that scene of memory again, but for some reason, the lid of the alchemy furnace tightly sealed it inside.
No matter how hard it tried to break through, the alchemy furnace seemed to remain unmoved.
The sense of crisis grew stronger, and Fu Yan's intuition told her that if she didn't run away quickly, she might encounter something terrible.
"Pattern"
The sound of footsteps began to echo in the empty space.
Fuyan's body trembled even more violently.
"Get out of this damned cage!!"
It howled, trying to give itself more momentum to explode.
But it discovered in despair that when its power collided with the alchemy furnace, the Tai Chi pattern flashed by, annihilating all its impact force into nothingness.
Finally, the footsteps reached the alchemy furnace.
It heard it clearly, and the aged voice said, "It's time to refine some golden pills for my disciple. The quality of the materials today seems to be quite good."
A tremendous fear swept through the floating smoke. What did alchemy mean? It had possessed so many people on the Immortal Ship; how could it not understand?
What does this old man mean by refining it into some kind of elixir?
"No no no!!"
The floating smoke howled wildly, using all its strength to attack the alchemy furnace.
It had thought this was probably its last ripple, but to its surprise, the lid of the alchemy furnace was opened.
It saw an old face that matched the voice.
Fu Yan was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, "There's always a way out!!"
Without hesitation, it rushed toward the open lid.
The path out of the alchemy furnace was so smooth that even the floating smoke seemed a little dazed.
"You little rascal, you're quite the runner."
A grand sound echoed around the floating smoke.
Fu Yan raised her body and saw the old man's face above her. She didn't know when she had appeared in the old man's hand, and her body seemed to have shrunk.
"Impossible! I definitely escaped!!"
Fuyan was stunned for a moment, then began to run around aimlessly, not believing it. But the old face in the sky seemed unchanged, as if it was watching it struggle in its palm without any emotion.
After running countless times, Fuyan finally stopped, because it realized that the old man in front of it was truly terrifying. It couldn't escape from him at all. Several times it felt like it had reached the end, but when it turned around, it found that it had to start all over again.
It felt like I was being endlessly cycled through in this old man's hands.
The reality of escaping can never be achieved.
"...I'm tired. Let it all end. Whatever."
The floating smoke stopped dejectedly, unable to understand why Bai Zhi's mental world was so dangerous; it was clearly not the mental and memory space of a normal person.
Let alone this Suiyang, even those who are special life forms and try to rush in would probably perish here.
It even began to suspect that Bai Zhi might be the biological daughter of some kind of memory star god, Fu Li.
A large amount of strange material fell from the sky, while the floating smoke remained silent.
Then, it felt a tremendous upheaval, and it found itself back in the alchemy furnace.
"Fine, fine, you really want to use me to refine pills, huh? I don't believe that mere flames can do anything to me!"
Fu Yan muttered to himself, refusing to believe in superstition.
It was not unaware that some of its own kind had been taken by the Immortal Ship people and forged into swords.
In this melting and casting environment, its kin were unharmed, so it refused to believe that this mere alchemy furnace could really do anything to it.
"hiss!!"
A strange flame rose up, and the floating smoke instantly emitted a sharp shriek.
It hurt, it hurt so much. Just touching the flame even slightly caused a pain that went straight to the bone.
Moreover, it was horrified to discover that its body was rapidly melting away upon contact with the flames. Clearly, the nature of these flames was far superior to the flames used in the forging of the immortal ship.
The flames were everywhere; it began to feel its own body melting and then reforming...
A moment later, in the room where Bai Zhi was asleep, a green light flew out. It was Fu Yan, whose consciousness had been almost completely worn away. It basically acted on instinct and rushed out of the room, never to return to this terrifying place.
Along with the rising smoke, there was also a golden glow.
A golden pill, emitting a faint fragrance and adorned with nine layers of patterns, lay quietly on the nearby table.
The surrounding space seemed to freeze, and a being made of crystal suddenly appeared in the room, looking at the pill.
The pill itself wasn't very powerful for Him; at most, after consuming it, He could be elevated to the level of a top-tier Destiny Walker (non-commander level), and perhaps gain some lifespan.
But He could see that this pill was actually a condensation of memories. The power of memories condensed something that did not exist in this world, and finally forged this golden pill.
Also appearing abruptly in the room was an old man. Although he looked very ordinary, dressed in coarse linen clothes, he exuded a strong sense of balance.
Like Fu Li, the old man also turned his gaze to the pill.
The old man could sense the yin and yang principles, as well as the balanced essence, contained within the elixir.
The old man was certain that the being who refined this elixir might have an understanding of the balance of Yin and Yang that was perhaps no less profound than His own.
Golden lotuses emerged in waves, brimming with vitality. A compassionate being with golden hair and golden eyes appeared, casting a gentle gaze upon the slumbering Bai Zhi.
He seemed very pleased with the appearance of this elixir, which represented endless vitality and the evolution of life, and it just so happened that it was brought by the little fellow whom He greatly admired.
This child is indeed destined to be with Him.
"Hey, are you guys all perverts? You're all standing around watching a child sleep. Anyone who didn't know better would think that all the Star Gods are perverted lolicon."
A masked person appeared and immediately mocked these guys who were stalking the little girl without any mercy.
"That's enough looking. This house isn't very big. You few Star Gods standing here are driving up the property prices. And you over there, if you don't leave soon, that guy playing with the bow and arrow will get angry."
The pharmacist maintained his compassionate smile, simply reaching out to gently stroke Bai Zhi's face before slowly transforming into golden light and dissipating from the spot.
Chapter 776 Laozi: Why is that yellow-haired monkey trying to kidnap my disciple again?
"Huh, why did I suddenly feel my face being touched?"
In the world of Journey to the West, Bai Zhi touched her face with some concern. Just now, she suddenly felt as if her face had been caressed by a gentle and compassionate hand, and her understanding of alchemy seemed to have advanced by leaps and bounds.
When refining pills, it's as if he has divine assistance. He can easily gather all kinds of materials, and his operation of controlling the heat and blending the medicinal effects is also seamless.
"This is... the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?"
A moment later, Bai Zhi opened the furnace and was surprised to find a furnace containing nine golden pills, with nine layers of patterns appearing on them.
This still surprised Bai Zhi.
Because the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir is different from the ordinary Seven- or Eight-Turn Golden Elixir; this thing basically represents the highest level of alchemy.
Even the two attendants, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, who have been by Laozi's side for so many years, have only refined pills that are at the sixth or seventh level.
Angelica dahurica has the divine blessing of abundance and fertility, and although it learns very quickly, its current limit is only around the eighth level of the Golden Core stage.
This is already an outrageous situation. Most immortals cannot reach this level. Even if Bai Zhi makes no further progress, she will still be the number one alchemist in the Heavenly Court, second only to Laozi.
"Nine-Turn Golden Elixir?! Heavens, Senior Sister... No, I have to go find Master and report this good news to him."
Jin Jiao, who was also in charge of various logistical tasks in the alchemy room, immediately came over after hearing Bai Zhi's mutterings. When he saw what was inside the alchemy furnace, his mouth formed an "O" shape.
My senior sister's talent is too outrageous! What terrifying talent! I and Silver Horn have been by our master's side for so many years, and our alchemy skills are only around the sixth or seventh level.
This senior sister has only been at the ninth level for a short time, yet she's already reached the ninth level.
They were already surprised that Bai Zhi reached the eighth level of the Golden Core stage after only a short time of study, but now she has defied the heavens and reached the ninth level.
Now I simply can't muster any competitive spirit at all.
"It was just a sudden inspiration; I can't consistently produce Nine-Turn Golden Elixir."
Bai Zhi held the golden pills in her hand. The feeling she had just experienced was very strange. She was certain that it was not her normal state.
I just don't know what the source of this special state is.
A moment later, Silver Horn, who had been summoned by Golden Horn to inform Laozi, returned, accompanied by Laozi.
"Oh my, my good disciple, you've refined the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir? Let your master take a look."
