Do You Even Need to Learn This? Isn't Having Hands Enough?

Hearing Bao Duoduo say they couldn't leave early, Lu Ming couldn't help but grit his teeth.

“We have to sabotage it... We absolutely must sabotage it...”

Otherwise, once this Buddha of All Beings Equal resurrected, there was no telling how he would deal with them.

Just because Huang Tianbao had captured his disciple, they were natural enemies.

When the time came, wouldn't he just swat them to death with a single palm?

As the protagonist, he might be able to slip through the cracks of the entity's fingers and survive.

But what about Big Yellow and the others?

They had to kill him first.

As soon as Lu Ming said to destroy it, Diao San and the others began attacking the array patterns.

However, they were all blocked by the black light, failing to cause any damage whatsoever.

For a moment, everyone was at their wits' end...

“Old Man Wang, is there any way to destroy this array?”

Wang Defa shook his head. “There are no records of it...”

Hearing this, Lu Ming walked around the area in frustration.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

“Poison... Let's try poisoning it...”

At Lu Ming's words, Niu Lansan carefully tossed a poison pill into the blood groove within the array patterns.

With a soft poof, a puff of black smoke rose.

The poison pill was directly corroded by the black glow, leaving not even a speck of dust behind.

“What do we do now?”

Huang Tianbao and the others looked at Lu Ming.

Lu Ming scratched his head in agitation.

He stared at the blood flowing from those cultivators.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. “Try coating it in blood first...”

Without delay, Bao Duoduo took out a poison pill and smeared his own blood on it.

Splash. The pill fell into the blood groove, dissolving into the blood inside.

Seeing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

It worked!

Immediately, everyone began gathering the poisons on their person.

They ran back to the cave where the cultivators had self-detonated and coated the poisons with a layer of that blood.

Meanwhile, Bao Duoduo found a hook-style spiritual artifact, coated it in blood, and hooked Elder Yun out.

However, the moment she was pulled out, Elder Yun turned directly into ashes and vanished into thin air.

It seemed these people were beyond saving.

“Great Sect Master, we're out of poison pills!”

Just then, Diao San came over to report to Lu Ming.

“Prepare the herbs. I'll forge some more...”

He was truly uneasy, worried that these poison pills wouldn't be enough.

At Lu Ming's command, Diao San and his group began preparing the spiritual herbs for refining poison pills.

“Great Sect Master, refine some pills that target the soul...”

Hearing Wang Defa's suggestion, Lu Ming nodded in agreement.

Resurrection meant the awakening of the soul, so perhaps poison pills targeting the soul would be even more effective.

Lu Ming then searched his storage bag and found a poison pill formula that targeted the soul.

He had never refined a poison pill before...

Seeing Lu Ming's actions, Bao Duoduo's eyes widened.

“You're learning this on the fly?!”

“What about it?”

Lu Ming stared at the pill formula, replying without even lifting his head.

Bao Duoduo was completely speechless. What about it?

Which pill didn't require refining several batches just to master?

By the time you learn it, the day will be long gone.

They would have already been swatted to death and reincarnated.

He sighed. It was better if he refined them himself.

Although his alchemy skills weren't great, he could still manage to refine some.

He took out his own alchemy furnace and prepared to start.

Just then, his gaze locked onto Lu Ming, who had actually taken out the Nine Turn Alchemy Furnace.

He hadn't expected that the alchemy furnace, which everyone in Black Fiend City had fought so fiercely over, would end up in Lu Ming's hands.

To snatch the furnace from so many people and factions, this guy was definitely not simple!

Next, something even more mind-boggling happened.

He watched as Lu Ming grabbed a handful of spiritual herbs and tossed them into the furnace without even looking.

“You can't do it like that...”

“Woof! Woof!!”

Big Yellow was instantly displeased. Go play somewhere else, don't delay us here.

“Fellow Daoist Bao, if you have nothing to do, help sort the spiritual herbs...”

Huang Tianbao also spoke up with disdain.

“You... this...”

Seeing Lu Ming's stir-fry-like movements, Bao Duoduo was even more speechless.

But this was a matter of life and death. How could they mess around like this?

Right then, Lu Ming even tossed the furnace up and spun it around...

Witnessing this, Bao Duoduo sighed helplessly. It was better to do it himself.

This guy just looked completely unreliable...

Zhuifeng's lips also twitched. How did this guy look even more unreliable at alchemy than Ye Fan?

Just as Bao Duoduo finished sorting the spiritual herbs, Lu Ming's furnace popped open.

He was just about to mock him when a rich medicinal aroma wafted into his nose.

Then, he saw Lu Ming pour out several blood-red poison pills adorned with pill veins.

“Holy crap... Top-grade poison pills...”

Bao Duoduo couldn't help but exclaim.

Instantly, he looked at Lu Ming as if looking at a monster.

Giving up on refining his own pills, he walked right over to Lu Ming to assist him.

“Great Sect Master, who did you learn your alchemy from?”

Tossing the spiritual herbs into the furnace, Lu Ming glanced at Bao Duoduo.

“Do you even need to learn this? Isn't having hands enough?”

Seeing Bao Duoduo's shocked and speechless expression,

Lu Ming couldn't help but feel inwardly smug. Mwahaha... I totally nailed that flex.

Zhuifeng, who had been following Big Yellow, was also stunned to see Lu Ming succeed.

This person seemed... way more formidable than Ye Fan!

As batch after batch of pills was refined by Lu Ming,

they were all thrown into the blood groove by Diao San and the others.

This caused the entire blood groove to emit an eerie, ghostly light.

Even the entire array began to act abnormally.

“Phew... That's a wrap.”

With Lu Ming's final batch of pills refined,

the group quickly packed up and ran for it.

Just as Lu Ming and the others were about to escape the cave,

The entire cave suddenly began to shake violently.

A low rumbling echoed throughout the cavern.

Turning his head, Lu Ming saw boulders crashing down.

The crimson array on the ground suddenly flared with a blinding scarlet light, its patterns slithering like live snakes directly into the cave walls.

Rocks continued to tumble down...

“Holy crap... We're gonna get buried alive! Run!”

Lu Ming led the group in a mad dash under their spiritual shields...

Just as those array patterns integrated into the stone walls, the entire cavern wall began to shake violently.

It felt as though something was waking up.

At this moment, Lu Ming had no time to see what was being resurrected.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder. Aren't I the protagonist?

Lu Ming quickly ran through his mind to see if there were any other options.

But there really weren't... He had done his best.

While they were escaping, someone else was also completely bewildered.

Ye Fan, clutching the Break-Stage Grass in his hand, hovered in midair with a look of utter shock, watching the violently shaking mountain below...

As it turned out, after the people of the Blood River Demon Sect and the cultivators of the Haoran Sect clashed,

several righteous sects like the Dingyuan Sect, along with the demonic cultivators of the Northern Province's Wuhua Palace, had also arrived.

As the battlefield turned into a chaotic bloodbath,

his cheap junior sister, Hei Lingyue, had also rushed over to help and hold Fu Chen back.

Then Ye Fan had freed up his hands, sending the Flame-Patterned Tiger flying with a kick.

Leaping to the entrance of the cave, he snatched the Break-Stage Grass.
