The Alchemy Furnace I didn’t go to bed until one o’clock. 2330 words 2026-04-11 01:31:21

The old man was naturally aware of these curious gazes, yet he did not even deign to give them a single glance.

However, Qin Chuan and the others did not dwell too long on him and Ji Die, focusing their attention primarily on Yun Su.

"I wonder what Junior Sister is doing here? Would you care to travel with me and hunt wandering souls together?" Qin Chuan's arrogant gaze remained fixed entirely upon Yun Su.

As for Ji Die, although he had caused a brief ripple of emotion in Qin Chuan at first, he was quickly dismissed as if he were thin air.

Qin Chuan had no idea why this brat was together with Yun Su. Originally, he had planned to casually dispose of this brat within the trial grounds so that Junior Sister Yun would belong to him alone.

Unexpectedly, the fellow was so fortunate; with Yun Su present, he naturally—

Mother Cheng was not someone devoid of tact either. If Yin Jiujin did not care for Yan Jinsui, coupled with her own fondness for the girl, she would never have brought up the topic.

Jing Hu began to regret wearing such brightly colored attire today. After all, there were men everywhere here; she could hardly throw caution to the wind, rush over, and drag Ke Mingxu out.

The scenes of great battles flooding into her mind—where was there any dazzling display of supreme spells? It was simply one side swinging a sword to shatter a section of the heavenly court, while the other used a tail to smash a continent into the abyss.

Baole closed her jaw, but without any false modesty, she followed them into the car and looked around it up and down. While she was merely inspecting the antiques, in the eyes of others, she looked precisely like a bumpkin who had never seen the world. Such a huge misunderstanding could not even be explained away—how infuriating.

Chen Xikang's expression grew increasingly dark, yet the Prime Minister continued to turn a blind eye, making no melancholy or sorrowful sighs, doing it purely to disgust the Prince of Chen beside him.

Aside from Cyan, Willow Yellow was the best at arranging hair in her bedchamber. Looking at Willow Yellow busy at work in the Western-style mirror, Jing Hu suddenly felt a wave of sorrow welling up from the depths of her heart.

The reason she had no memories in this lifetime was due to a tribulation of life and death; aside from her primordial soul, all her other souls had been extracted.

Turning back to look at the trees snapped off uniformly in the distance, and then looking at the person with a gentle smile, Changyan Yaoyue extended her finger and pinched herself, desperately wanting to figure out whether she had suffered a deviation in her sword cultivation.

Thinking about it carefully, Yu Zong had previously been at the peak of the Golden Core realm, and now his aura had undergone another transformation.

"Why... why must people have grudges and schemes? Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone could just be happily together? For the sake of power, my father... no, he did it for revenge! Men really have it so exhausting." Zhou Ruochu collapsed weakly against the dressing table, her tears ruining her makeup.

Another soldier, hearing what his comrade had said, did not even look at the front of the subterranean palace, merely nodding. As for the other soldiers who were further away, stationed only on the flanks, they were the ones who actually witnessed the entrance to the subterranean palace and the events unfolding inside.

Just as Changyue had told Huang Jun before he descended the mountain—that lowering one's head in humility would only cause roots to grow—sometimes such subtle, imperceptible guidance could influence a person for a lifetime.

Li Hao closed the black soft-top of his car and then drove off in his Bugatti Veyron. Along the way, no vehicle dared to get too close to him. After all, this single car was worth roughly as much as the BMWs and Mercedes-Benzes of seven soccer teams combined.

Ye Xian had not prepared an antidote for this poison; this was his way of leaving himself an escape route. If the enemy were poisoned and tried to capture him, they would still be unable to do anything to him and would have to obediently beg him to formulate the antidote.

Yu Bin walked out from his hiding place and saw Alan and Keldila organizing their equipment. The vast majority of the falling rocks had been blocked by the stalactites, but quite a few had still struck them, leaving numerous stains and marks.

Li Hao shrugged very casually. Perhaps these orders were exceptionally precious to the three CEOs, but to Li Hao himself, they were as simple as making a single decision.

He now found it hard to believe how he had ever mustered the courage back then to come to the Ruins of Sharsar and meddle in the affairs of Ouroboros.

"It's Zhuo Yihang, along with the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Beast Spirit Sect, and about twenty-five or six others," that voice replied.

Song Chu, the head of the Disciplinary Department, was also the vice president of the student union, as well as the only son of Song Renxing, a counselor in the five faculties of the academy. With qualifications, a background, and connections, he controlled the department with the highest combat strength in the student union. One of the deputy heads of the Disciplinary Department was Yuan Meng, the seventh master of the nine faculties; with her support, he had become a leading contender in the race for the presidency.

It was a pity that moose cheese was produced by a specific dairy farm in Sweden, where they used moose milk to make the cheese, giving it a unique flavor rich in milky aroma. It sold for five hundred dollars per pound. Converted into Chinese jin and RMB, a single jin cost around 3,690 yuan.

Faced with the joint forces of several mysterious and terrifying powerhouses, Xing Fei was violently blasted out of this spatial world without being able to remain for even a moment. Those mighty beings hiding within the spatial realm were simply too terrifying; Xing Fei did not dare to truly confront them.

To my surprise, the king unexpectedly compromised, directly waving his hand to have a subordinate hand me a 'pass'. Without further ado, after expressing my gratitude, I left the palace immediately.

Manzhu knew that although Shishi never spoke of it aloud, she actually dreamed day and night of seeing her biological mother and longed to speak a few words with her.

"Baka! If you don't give me an explanation today, we will wash this manor in blood!" Yamada shouted angrily.

At eight minutes past eight on the morning of October 1st, amidst the clamor of tens of tens of thousands of people at the site, under the eager gaze of over a billion people nationwide, and watched closely by the media worldwide, following an order from Xiao Han, the sound of firecrackers was deafening, cheers resonated through the clouds, and the grand opening ceremony of Huaguoshan officially began.

Finally, the general flew into a rage, leading hundreds of thousands of slaves from various tribes in a rebellion. That battle ran red with blood.

Brilliance flowed as two ghostly, purple-flamed auras intersected, forming a cross-shaped sword Qi that exploded atop the fairy tiger, instantly sending it on its way to the netherworld.

Hearing the sound, Manzhu raised her head to see a woman in plain white robes, looking to be around sixty years old with a completely expressionless face, following behind the man in red. Could this be that Ghost Doctor Mangu?

Yet no matter how formidable his immortal arts were, he could not escape the fate of being repeatedly pierced through by his opponent and having the attacks rebounded back onto his own body.

Davis considered this statement to be a bombshell, figuring that upon hearing it, Ma Qian'an would be overwhelmed with excitement. He waited with keen interest for Ma Qian'an's gasp of shock, but after waiting for a long time without a single sound, he could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

Xiai preferred an iron-fisted policy, while Tsukiyomi was too lazy to manage anything, remaining perpetually indolent and shifting all tax-related matters onto Xiai.

If he wanted to ask about the Scarlet Flame Pill or reveal her identity, wouldn't it be the same to address such matters after dealing with the ghost fiends?

"Clearly, you have vocal cords identical to those of humans, yet you speak the language of demons. No matter, since you enjoy talking like this, then die right here!" A trace of crimson flashed through Ye Kai's eyes.
