The Alchemy Furnace I didn’t go to bed until one o’clock. 2347 words 2026-04-11 01:30:17

“Battle it is!” At moments like this, all words are superfluous.

Ji Die radiated a chilling aura, and behind him, the three flying swords once more transformed into streams of light, shooting forward with incredible speed.

His resolve to stake everything in a life-or-death gamble did not escape Qin Yan’s notice.

Yet Qin Yan’s gaze was mocking and dismissive—so long as Ji Die’s spiritual sense couldn’t ambush him, he was nothing but a mere Qi Refining cultivator, never comparable to a Foundation Establishment!

The flying swords hummed as they sped toward him. Just as Qin Yan was about to strike, a sudden pain pierced his mind, his gaze filled with terror. He hadn’t expected Ji Die’s spiritual sense to cover such a vast range, almost matching Foundation Establishment!

And in that brief moment of distraction, several swords dissolved into—

But that was hardly the main concern. At present, Zhou Ye was quite prosperous, unfazed by any additional expense.

The night had grown deep. Duan Changge lay in the blue gauze tent, looking exhausted. His eyes were tightly shut, and a shadowy purple-black hue spread beneath them, gradually engulfing his entire face. The once refined features were now completely erased; at a glance, he looked like someone gravely ill.

Upon hearing the child’s surname was Wu, Wu Guofeng was delighted, for he knew what it signified: Yuan Li still cared for him, at the very least acknowledging him as the child’s father.

Though she knew Zhou Ye was powerful, she had never felt it so directly—until now. She understood that the sword Zhou Ye wielded was enough to threaten the life of a cultivator at the mid-Emperor Realm.

Registering an account with real-name authentication, applying for a live broadcast room, setting the room’s details, uploading for official review, then waiting for approval—it was hardly troublesome.

The noodles in this dish were superb, far superior to the skins of those soup dumplings. The meat filling was thick and substantial, but not dry; the juices inside were rich, and with the blend of spices, the complex flavor was explosive on the palate.

Huang Zhaoyan was about to wield flames, but the opposing mage cast an expulsion barrier, extinguishing his spell instantly.

Though they spoke of how many years they’d entered from various places, Ye Xiao and the others knew nothing of the history here, so it was impossible to deduce how many years they had truly spent within.

The camp’s bustle was confined to the outer barracks, where, in the darkness, many soldiers from the direct companies watched the perimeter closely. Numerous intruders were discovered and, intentionally or not, blocked from advancing further.

Although eunuchs were no longer complete men, they could still be coarse and provocative in conversation at times.

Alvis sat down in his chair, listening as Ramirez laid out his discoveries.

Both kinds of people were unstable elements in the army. How to deal with such soldiers—Lin Feng had no immediate answer. Among them, one named Niu Qi, a half-awakened, caught his special attention.

Sleip looked toward where Yilan should have been, only to see Retra completely encased in ice, while Clauron was firmly subdued by Gomorra, Panlong, and Yilan working together.

The digger was a half-awakened, Earthworm Man Lü Cheng. He broke the surface concrete, dug six meters deep, and connected the tunnel below—all in just three minutes.

Xie Yunfei rubbed his head, looking left and right, itching to give it a try himself.

“I met the Rattlesnake and was assigned a mission directly. My team is at the Hunter School. I suspect this is a conspiracy, connected to the Hunter School.” Wu Fei spoke candidly, sharing his suspicions.

Ye Feng stayed by Yang Zi’s side. Watching her body change daily, he was deeply shocked. The true energy flowing in Yang Zi now was black and white, not the deep blue of innate extreme cold, nor the pale red of Nine Suns Fruit. This alone was strange.

“Bastard, coward, just wait till I get back and kill you!” Zhao Xiaofang shouted, desperate to kill the man who betrayed her.

Wu Fei was still fleeing, even after escaping danger. He ran several hundred meters before slowing down. Cui Hu and the others were there to receive him.

But the border of Yunhai Cave Mansion was like a secret realm—difficult to divine Wei Wuji’s exact location. Thus, Su Ziyu hung a silver spear outside the entrance, challenging Wei Wuji in hopes he would see it.

She lazily placed her phone and comb beside her pillow, leaning against the quilt and drawing it close.

Grandmother Zheng and her friends had spent months tirelessly studying for Gu Xinan’s sake. Now, they were all exhausted, but seeing Gu Xinan peacefully asleep brought genuine smiles to their faces. A sense of accomplishment lingered among them.

On the right, the sword was entirely different—its blade pitch black, massive, and exuding a sense of sluggish heaviness, with not a trace of sharpness visible.

Lu Cang ordered four Earth-tier experts to split into two teams to search. He formed one group alone. Hua Nian remained with Gu Xinan and the unconscious Gu Xicheng. But Gu Xinan couldn’t sit still. How could everyone disappear from such a vast place, with so many people? Where was her father? Where had he gone? How was he now?

Elder Yun’s battle style was to fight while retreating. His actions suggested he was brewing something, and those who escaped with their lives—his adversaries, heirs of cold hatred—were left to ponder his intent.

The film’s production cost totaled eighty-one million; Mariana accounted for seventy-two million, with another twenty million from Golden Shield Film Center’s support policy, essentially an interest-free loan.

Xiangliu used mental control on a beast, directing it to attack Lu Qi. At that moment, another equally massive beast charged in, knocking the one attacking Lu Qi aside.

Big Eevee was reluctant, biting its lip, tensing its muscles, and letting out a loud cry with all its might.

He could never have imagined, as a proud scion of the Wang family, that today he would be forced into such a predicament by an unknown cultivator whose strength was less than his own.

Fang Yan decided to host a celebration banquet that night and hold a press conference for Destiny Water’s launch the next day.

Now, with the missing arms still unfound, the mafia members suspected the treasure hunters and earth diggers, believing they had stumbled upon the cache and taken it in secret during their wild hunts.

As for Ye Tian closing the door, it was because Su Yiran had just left. If it were some lurking ghost, it surely hadn’t departed yet—and must be desperate to chase after Su Yiran.

Macia and Wessex each fielded a thousand men, totaling two thousand, against Shanghai Stein and Bjorn’s eighteen hundred.
