Lord of the Abyss

After subduing the pill cauldron, the medicinal fragrance within the Pill Pavilion noticeably diminished. It wouldn't be long before the faint aroma completely dissipated.

"Hahaha! Who would have thought there would be someone in this world capable of subduing this cauldron!"

Just then, a raspy voice suddenly echoed, immediately followed by an emergence of black mist that enveloped Su Muchen in an instant. A dense spatial fluctuation accompanied it, and the black mist, carrying Su Muchen, vanished from the Pill Pavilion in the blink of an eye.

All of this happened with incredible speed, almost in a flash of lightning. Even a powerful figure like Shadow Elder failed to react in time. By the time he noticed, Su Muchen's figure had disappeared.

A cold glint flashed in Shadow Elder's eyes. His divine sense immediately spread outward like a tidal wave, attempting to capture the aura of the black mist, but the spatial fluctuation was extremely strange, leaving no trace behind.

"Damn it! No matter who you are, I will make you wish you were dead!"

Su Muchen, at this moment, was unaware of Shadow Elder's thoughts. He had been transported to a magnificent, gold-plated hall.

A somewhat illusory black figure sat in the main seat of the hall.

"Lord of the Abyss?"

Su Muchen narrowed his eyes. He sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from this person.

This fellow was probably comparable to Shadow Elder in cultivation, both at the Void Riding Realm!

"Heh, I suppose that trash told you, didn't he? It's a pity. I thought he had some use, but he betrayed me so quickly!"

Lord of the Abyss shook his head, a hint of regret in his tone. Hearing this, Su Muchen's heart stirred. It seemed Wang Ming was already dead, saving him some trouble.

"Hmph! Those who betray me will come to a bad end."

As if seeing through Su Muchen's thoughts, Lord of the Abyss said with a smile. Although the Lord of the Abyss was smiling, he still gave off a very sinister feeling.

"Senior brought me here, not to say these things, right?"

Su Muchen replied calmly. Shadow Elder was surely searching for him at this moment, and he also had talismans he had exchanged for from the system.

Even if he couldn't defeat this Lord of the Abyss, he could still leave, and the Lord of the Abyss couldn't stop him. Therefore, Su Muchen appeared very calm.

"Oh? You are very sensible, saving me a lot of trouble!"

Lord of the Abyss seemed very satisfied with Su Muchen's performance, saying with a smile.

"You humans are very skilled in the art of alchemy. It must be said that the heavens are very generous to you!"

Hearing this, Su Muchen's heart stirred. He noticed that Lord of the Abyss said "you humans," indicating that this Lord of the Abyss was not human!

"You were able to find this Immortal Cauldron, so you must have some accomplishments in alchemy. I happen to need a pill right now. As long as you can refine it, I can satisfy anything you want!"

"It is my honor to refine pills for Senior. How dare I make demands?"

Su Muchen said with slight "panic."

Lord of the Abyss glanced at Su Muchen with satisfaction. This young man was indeed sensible. As for deceiving him, Lord of the Abyss never even considered it. A mere Yuan Transformation Realm cultivator, what waves could he stir up under his nose?

"What kind of pill does Senior need to refine?"

Hearing these words, Lord of the Abyss was happy and his smile was even wider.

"I have been suppressed in this place for tens of thousands of years. My physical body was destroyed thousands of years ago, and now only my soul remains."

Lord of the Abyss seemed to recall unpleasant past events, remaining silent for a long time. Su Muchen simply stood quietly by the side, without saying a word.

"For tens of thousands of years, this seal has already loosened. If it were a thousand years ago, I could have easily broken the seal with the power of my soul alone."

"Unfortunately, I consumed too much soul power to extend my life. With my current strength, I cannot break through the seal!"

"The only way is to find a pill that restores soul power to help me recover my strength!"

Lord of the Abyss made a beckoning gesture, and an ancient-looking pill formula appeared in his hand.

"This pill formula records the legendary Nine Revolutions Soul Condensing Pill!"

Su Muchen's pupils contracted. He had heard of this Nine Revolutions Soul Condensing Pill before, a type of extremely heaven-defying pill. Even if your soul only had a trace left, it could be restored to its original state through the nourishment of this pill!

"It seems this guy wants to use this pill to recover his strength and break through the seal!"

Su Muchen immediately guessed the Lord of the Abyss's inner thoughts.

Lord of the Abyss stared intently at Su Muchen, and the pill formula flew out of his hand, landing in Su Muchen's hands.

Su Muchen was very interested in this legendary pill. He glanced at it briefly, only to find that it required as many as hundreds of different spirit herbs!

As expected of a pill with heaven-defying effects, some of the spirit herbs Su Muchen had never even heard of.

However, Su Muchen wanted to refine it, and it was very simple. After all, with the help of the system, he could refine any pill.

"Can you refine it?"

Lord of the Abyss stared intently at Su Muchen, even his voice trembling slightly.

Anyone who has been sealed for tens of thousands of years, suddenly having hope of leaving, will not be able to suppress their excitement.

"Refining is not a problem, but these spirit herbs inside..."

"Spirit herbs are not a problem!"

As soon as Lord of the Abyss spoke, a storage ring flew directly in front of Su Muchen.

"There are ten portions of spirit herbs inside, which should be enough for you to refine!"

Su Muchen took the storage ring and couldn't help but sigh. This Lord of the Abyss really had deep foundations.

However, Su Muchen thought about it and understood. After all, he was an old monster who had existed for tens of thousands of years, so it was normal for him to have some inventory.

"Accidents are inevitable during the pill refining process. If I fail a few times, I hope Senior will not blame me."

"It doesn't matter!"

Lord of the Abyss waved his hand, "I naturally understand, so I prepared ten portions for you first. If that's not enough, I still have more! As long as you can successfully refine it!"

"Should I refine pills here?" Su Muchen glanced at Lord of the Abyss.

"This place is not very safe, come with me." Lord of the Abyss thought for a moment and said.

Su Muchen smiled coldly. What was "not very safe"? This Lord of the Abyss was probably afraid that he would run away. However, Su Muchen did not expose him, nodded, and quickly followed.

Soon, led by Lord of the Abyss, Su Muchen arrived at a secret chamber.

"This used to be my cultivation place, but now it is for you to refine pills. No one can disturb you except me!"

"Thank you, Senior!"

Su Muchen knew that the implication of this sentence was nothing more than telling Su Muchen not to think about escaping, and to honestly refine pills for him.

"Alright, I won't disturb you. If the pill is completed or you have other needs, just crush this talisman!"

Lord of the Abyss threw a talisman to Su Muchen, who respectfully accepted it, and then Lord of the Abyss turned and left.

"This guy is really cautious!"

Feeling the faint aura of Lord of the Abyss from the talisman, Su Muchen twitched the corners of his mouth expressionlessly, but he didn't care. Since the Lord of the Abyss liked to watch, then let him watch.

"But this Nine Revolutions Soul Condensing Pill is a good thing!"

Su Muchen took out the pill formula. In fact, Su Muchen was not proficient in alchemy, but he had a system. Learning a pill formula only cost some villain points.

Then, Su Muchen spent 500 villain points to master the pill formula. The refining method of the Nine Revolutions Soul Condensing Pill immediately appeared in Su Muchen's mind.

Su Muchen took out the Purple Cauldron, patted the cauldron body, and the huge cauldron lid flew up directly.

He took out the storage ring and threw the spirit herbs into the cauldron one by one in the order recorded in the pill formula.

If someone with alchemy experience saw this scene, they would probably spit on Su Muchen directly.

Who doesn't purify the spirit herbs separately before proceeding to the next step? This Su Muchen was good, he threw all the spirit herbs into the cauldron, which was clearly nonsense!

In the void, Lord of the Abyss, who was watching this scene, also frowned. Although he didn't understand alchemy, he had seen others refine pills, and the techniques were completely different from Su Muchen's!

"Forget it, for now, I'll allow you to act as you see fit. If it fails, hmph..." Lord of the Abyss stared coldly at Su Muchen, who was refining pills there.
