Chapter 34

On the outskirts of Liuyun City, in a corner of an abandoned house, Xiao Che sat quietly, his body weakly leaning against the cold wall behind him, his unfocused eyes staring blankly ahead as if his soul had left his body. He had maintained this posture for several hours.

In his lifetime on Cangyun Continent, he was abandoned by his parents and never knew who his biological parents were. The only thing that connected him to them was the pendant he always wore around his neck. In this lifetime on Cangfeng Continent, he lost his parents at a young age, but at least he knew who they were, their names, and he had a grandfather and an aunt. However, the heavens played another cruel joke on him. All of this turned out to be a lie.

His grandfather was not his real grandfather, and his aunt was not his real aunt...

He still did not know who his parents were, or even his own surname.

The experiences of two lifetimes had broadened his mindset, but he still could not quickly accept this rootless feeling again.

Who am I... Where should I go next?

Expelled from the Xiao Family, he could never step into the Xiao Family again. He was very clear that not only the Xiao Family, but the entire Liuyun City, was a place he could no longer stay. He had not left yet because he was worried about his grandfather and aunt, at least to confirm their safety.

Time slowly passed, from morning to noon, and the sky gradually darkened.

Without eating for a day, Xiao Che felt no hunger. When the sun's last ray of light disappeared and it set completely, Xiao Che's head finally lifted slowly, and his originally lifeless eyes gradually took on a terrifying, demonic light. Silently, he began to laugh, his lips curling into a sinister smile like that of a hellish demon.

In this chilling, faint smile, he slowly extended his left hand, and in his palm appeared a small green plant... It was one of the two Star Concealment Grasses he found on the back mountain the night he married Xia Qingyue. He looked at the Star Concealment Grass, and his palm suddenly emitted a green light, enveloping the grass.

Under the green light, the Star Concealment Grass twisted, contracted, and changed color... Finally, it turned into a small pile of dark green powder.

Xiao Che gently blew, and the dark green powder instantly scattered, leaving only a transparent bead in his palm.

This was the core and most heaven-defying ability of the Heavenly Poison Pearl... Refinement!

The formation of a pill often requires multiple herbs, which go through processes such as grinding, adjusting, melting with fire, and enhancing with mystic energy. This process is not only complicated but also inevitably leads to some loss of medicinal power and a certain failure rate. Especially for high-level pills, which require a large amount of extremely expensive high-level materials, the failure rate is also very high. Once failed, everything is lost. Moreover, not everyone has the ability to refine high-level pills, as it requires very high standards for the alchemist's ability, the cauldron, the environment, and the mystic energy enhancement.

However, the refinement of the Heavenly Poison Pearl does not need to worry about these. It can quickly refine the essence of the materials in a very short time and perfectly fuse them... The entire process will not waste any medicinal power and will not fail! The useless parts will be completely removed by the Heavenly Poison Pearl. After recognizing its master, it can refine and fuse the specified components according to the master's will.

This terrifying ability is enough to drive the entire world mad! Initially, the top sects of Cangyun Continent jointly hunted him down, not because of the toxicity of the Heavenly Poison Pearl, but because of its heaven-defying refinement and fusion ability!

As long as there are suitable and sufficient materials, after passing through the Heavenly Poison Pearl, they will become the perfect pill in a very short time without any risk.

If the ability of the Heavenly Poison Pearl were to spread in the Tianxuan Continent, the Tianxuan Continent would inevitably be in turmoil, and the number of people hunting Xiao Che would not be less than in Cangyun Continent.

Looking at the transparent bead in his hand, Xiao Che's smile became even more sinister and terrifying. He opened his mouth, swallowed the bead, and then his body suddenly wavered and slowly disappeared... as if it had completely evaporated.

【Star Concealment Pill】: Only one Star Concealment Grass is needed to refine it. After taking it, one can achieve perfect invisibility for three hours. The body, voice, aura, and even items on the body will be completely hidden!

The Star Concealment Grass is an incredible thing. The Star Concealment Pill refined from it is even more incredible! Because it grants an effect that surpasses the common knowledge and human understanding of the Tianxuan Continent, something no one has ever dared to imagine. Xiao Che was completely convinced that he was using the first Star Concealment Pill in the Tianxuan Continent, as only the Star Concealment Grass can form the Star Concealment Pill, and only the Heavenly Poison Pearl can refine the Star Concealment Grass.

Invisibly, silently, and without a trace, Xiao Che stood up and walked towards the direction of the Xiao Family.

The sky had already darkened, and the Xiao Family was brightly lit.

Xiao Che stepped into the gate of the Xiao Family and walked straight in, his movements very casual, without any cautious or careful demeanor. As he passed by, Xiao Family disciples walked by, but no one looked in his direction. The concealment provided by the Star Concealment Pill was almost perfect, as it not only made the body transparent but also completely concealed the external and internal aura, as if hiding everything about him in an invisible space. When he first used the Star Concealment Pill on Cangyun Continent, even a sect leader who could rank in the top ten of the continent did not detect him within ten steps.

Xiao Che continued to walk, his face extremely calm. On the way, he overheard whispers and learned that Xia Qingyue had been taken away by her master, and Xiao Lie and Xiao Lingxi had been confined to the back mountain... for a full fifteen years.

The result of today's Xiao Family meeting was undoubtedly that Xiao Yulong was finally chosen and would leave with Xiao Kuangyun and three others to the Xiao Sect tomorrow.

Stopping in front of the reception hall, Xiao Che listened silently to the conversation inside.

"Yulong, remember to always remember the great kindness of Young Master Xiao when you go to the Xiao Sect tomorrow!"

"Of course, Young Master Xiao's great kindness, Yulong will never forget... Yulong will toast Young Master Xiao three more times..."

"Xiao Yulong, although things didn't go well today, it's not your fault. Who knew Xia Qingyue was a disciple of the Ice Cloud Immortal Palace. Your character suits my taste. In the Xiao Sect, as long as you listen well, I won't treat you badly."

"Thank... thank Young Master Xiao! You are truly my great benefactor. Yulong will be loyal to Young Master Xiao, with no second thoughts... I never expected the Xia Qingyue incident... But the plan to frame Xiao Lingxi... uh, wasn't a complete failure. Although there's that Chu Yueli, Young Master Xiao can't touch her now, but after a year or two, when Young Master Xiao finds a reason to return here, Xiao Lingxi won't be able to run... hehehehe..."

...

Xiao Yulong's voice was somewhat slurred, clearly quite drunk. Xiao Che's face grew colder, and his hands clenched tightly. Then, he turned and walked towards the East Courtyard. When he came out of the East Courtyard, he had a short knife in his hand, and then he walked straight to the North Courtyard.

Number 11 in the North Courtyard was Xiao Yulong's residence, currently empty. Xiao Che pushed the door open, glanced at the layout of the room, and smiled coldly. He walked to the opposite window, raised the short knife, and tilted it to stab into the window. When he pulled it out, there was a fist-sized hole.

Then, Xiao Che stood nearby, waiting for Xiao Yulong to arrive.

He did not have to wait long. After about two hours, a noise came from outside the door, and the door was pushed open. Xiao Yulong, supported by Xiao Yang, staggered in, reeking of alcohol.

"Brother, I've always been at your service. After you go to the Xiao Sect, don't forget about your little brother."

Xiao Yang, who was supporting Xiao Yulong, said with a fawning face as he helped him to the bed.

He would never have thought that at this moment, someone was standing silently two steps to his left, coldly watching him.

"Oh... huh..."

Xiao Yulong seemed quite drunk, mumbling a few times before collapsing on the bed, groaning. Seeing this, Xiao Yang pushed Xiao Yulong further into the bed and then left with a crooked mouth, closing the door.

Xiao Che walked to Xiao Yulong's bed and slowly raised the short knife in his hand.

In a direct confrontation, he could not possibly be a match for Xiao Yulong. Even with the help of the Star Concealment Grass, he might not be able to kill Xiao Yulong. Because even in an unguarded state, the mystic energy in the body would reflexively protect it. With his body lacking mystic energy, a regular knife might not be able to pierce through Xiao Yulong's body, which had third-level mystic energy.

The invisibility of the Star Concealment Pill was not without flaws. If the hidden body was touched by someone else during the concealment, the invisibility effect would immediately disappear. If he missed his strike and was touched by the other person, he would be completely at a disadvantage... or even dead.

But now, Xiao Yulong was completely drunk, a perfect opportunity.

He glanced at the hole he had made in the window, calculated the position, narrowed his eyes, and the short knife in his hand suddenly fell, using all his strength to stab into Xiao Yulong's left side of the dantian... As soon as it stabbed in, he quickly leaped back and stood in the corner of the room.

This strike could have directly cut Xiao Yulong's throat and killed him, but he did not.

How could he let Xiao Yulong die so easily? If he died so simply, how could he vent his hatred?

He wanted to completely crush Xiao Yulong's beautiful dreams, to make him fall from heaven to hell, to make him wish he were dead!

The show has just begun.
