Volume One, Chapter 23: The Red-Eyed Buffalo, an Exceptional Alchemical Ingredient

"Don't. We already have one dead weight; if you roll another six, we won't be able to handle it," Fairy Xueli refused.

Shi Kui had already handed his trailer over to the subordinates who came to greet him. He pulled out a pack of cigarettes, tossed one to the bald man, and asked in a muffled voice.

Yun Zijin, who had been in a selfless state frantically absorbing the exceptionally pure energy in the desert, was startled by a shrill scream.

What was meant to happen would happen. As soon as Yun Zijin emerged from the space and sat on the bed, she was knocked over by a fierce impact.

After contacting Yang Lin and relaying Li Yanhong's analysis, Yang Lin hesitated slightly before asserting that he definitely wouldn't leave any traces. At most, Bao Biao would just be suspicious; in the current situation, anyone would be.

Human beings are, after all, biological organisms, and the primary directive of any organism is survival. Faced with survival, gentlemanly conduct and the like are all nonsense.

"Mother, I want her to be my wife! Make her divorce that ugly freak!" The son of the Martial Arts Alliance leader, seeing his mother arrive, pointed at Mu Qiu and demanded.

Meanwhile, the sacred destiny of the Eastern Wasteland was becoming increasingly apparent. Among the five regions, the Central Plains had the Heavenly Lord, the Western Regions had the Buddha, the Northern Underworld had the Demon Emperor, and the Southern Barbarian lands had the Great Emperor. Only the Eastern Wasteland was currently masterless, though this situation seemed likely to change within a thousand years.

Jia Renyi was a guest scholar under the Star-Fall Saint and had a profound knowledge of geography. If he said he had never seen it, then it most likely did not exist.

"Why is the Envoy of Reincarnation so concerned with the affairs of the mortal world? Could it be..." the Supreme Yin pondered.

Vivian didn't know what to do upon hearing Aimo's words. Ever since she left the imperial city, she had been relying on Aimo, but now that Aimo suddenly said she needed to make her own decisions, she found herself at a loss as to whether she should follow her own heart.

Lin Ye was also speechless. What kind of monster could Li Bumian have been fighting for twenty years? It didn't sound true, but he didn't delve into it.

Feng Xian had no good feelings toward Bai Shi, but at the mention of fine wine, he was tempted. He swallowed hard, hesitated, and finally beckoned Bai Shi to come closer and speak.

Jack stared at the two hundred mohawks trailing behind the K-24 mecha. Li Bumian had chained the remnants of the Chechen party behind the machine to use them as an energy source at any time.

In the end, unable to get the roasted fish, Yun Doujuan had no choice but to go catch two fat fish herself. She revealed her form and dumped the fish in front of Qiu'er. Only then did Qiu'er realize that the ghost who had been bullying her all along was actually a fierce and magnificent leopard.

"Thinking that these four early-stage ancient martial arts experts are enough to teach me a lesson—isn't that a bit too naive?" Yun Xuan grinned, his tone filled with disdain.

Li Bumian stared at his own body, panting with excitement, unable to stop a pair of fangs from protruding.

Seeing Tan Xiang's slightly pale face, Yun Xuan felt a pang of heartache. He stepped forward and gently pulled the curled-up Tan Xiang into his arms.

Zhu Ming smiled bitterly; he understood that someone must have told Cao Shijie about the Fanruo Company.

Such an eccentric; if she couldn't find a way to deal with it, she and Wuxu would likely perish right here today.

"Damn it, what else could I do? I used every ounce of strength I had!" Lin Tian thought to himself, looking at Aida Takeshi with confusion.

A hint of a smile flashed in her eyes. Touching the flying dagger in her sleeve, she took advantage of Xinzhu's distraction to shift slightly, secretly channeling her energy to force the dagger from the bottom of the carriage.

How could Luo Qiang not know Lone Wolf's intentions? His Dao heart was firm; how could it be swayed by a few words? Besides, the moment of life and death had not yet arrived.

With this thought, Lu Mingxuan lowered the curtain, effectively separating herself and Ling Mengqi into two different worlds.

Gu Qiu retreated rapidly along the original path, but the dragon breath he had just parted was already closing in. Gu Qiu had no choice but to push through the dragon breath.

Feng Junxi didn't truly want to go to the battlefield with Feng Cheng'ao; he just didn't want to be criticized for hypocrisy. Turning his gaze to Zixu, he wondered what Zixu really meant by those words.

"Haha, that's not it. I was just afraid you'd be targeted by the paparazzi!" Her return had caused such a stir that it was inevitable she would be followed.

The surging energy within the high-grade Source-Condensing Crystal began to flow through Gu Qiu's palm into his meridians. The Heaven-Mending Pill also vanished into his mouth.

Li Zixiao had originally wanted to say this as well, but considering Liang Yan's mood, he kept it to himself.

Today, just as Ye Shaochan awoke from his meditation, he learned that Chief Steward An had been waiting for him for a long time. Ye Shaochan was puzzled; there's no reason to visit a temple unless you have a prayer. Why was this sycophant here so early in the morning?

So, the threat from my good buddy wasn't instigated by Wei Yefeng? That actually surprised her a little.

He knew very well that the real Tian Yan could never be so self-righteous. At the moment of life and death, such an act of sacrificing oneself to protect a brother was not something Tian Yan was capable of.

"Wind? There's wind coming in, ha! We've just connected to the outside, haven't we?" This was asked of Shen Xing Wuji, but it was also a statement of certainty.

"What's going on? Is she hurt?" Yang Jiahua took a moment to find his voice. He coughed, feeling both confused and anxious.

They could have pulled the car into the courtyard, yet they chose to park outside. This was clearly just for show.

However, the Beast Hero's position as the Orc Chieftain was not merely for show. Violent beastly energy erupted from his body, surging toward Shen Jun and sealing off his retreat.

This green steel helmet, however, had a grand history. Its weight alone required four strong young men to carry it onto the auction stage, and the hardness of its material was top-tier. Wearing it, as long as you didn't encounter a super-perverted opponent, no one could headshot you.

However, the money Ran Fei had raised this time was more than enough, even after accounting for the Sword-Casting Hall's expenses. If it weren't spent, it would just pile up in the mansion, which Ran Fei felt was a waste. Thus, he hastily gathered his advisors to discuss the matter.

He could recall it just a moment ago, but once someone commanded him to speak, he completely forgot what to say.

On New Year's Eve in the forty-first year of the Xihe era, Lü Qing encountered danger in the cold palace. By some twist of fate, Lin Yu, who had been dormant for many years, surfaced. Yan Fuguang recognized her at first sight and subsequently sent people to keep an eye on her.

It was like a dozen young entrepreneurs with grand goals and powerful drive. They had taken their first step, initiating the first battle for the sake of their future commercial empire.
