Miraculous Doctor in Flower City-Chapter 362: The Alchemy Furnace

Under the ambush, the Centipede King, who was sitting cross-legged inside, didn't react at all and took a hard hit!

A scream was heard immediately!

"Who!"

"The debt collector!"

Liu Sanming sneered coldly, leaping through the broken window and landed inside the meditation room!

But to his surprise, just as he entered and before his feet touched the ground, the entire meditation room suddenly went dark, and violent tremors shook in all directions!

In the midst of these tremors, a change that Liu Sanming hadn't foreseen also occurred.

The already broken window was suddenly sealed with a thick steel plate coming out from the wall!

And the ground collapsed completely, and the seemingly injured Centipede King burrowed into it instantly, disappearing without a trace.

Liu Sanming, seeing this, immediately burrowed down as well!

Unexpectedly, as he just entered below the meditation room, he fell into a pitch-black space of unknown origin.

Then he heard four muffled thuds, and only then did he realize he had been deceived!

There was a trap beneath the room, and as he descended, he was confined within a small dark chamber!

Concentrating his Profound Skill in his eyes, Liu Sanming's vision enhanced once again, allowing him to make out some of the surroundings.

He was trapped in a rounded space that seemed like a jar.

The ground and surroundings were made entirely of extremely hard steel.

Liu Sanming tried to strike with all his Profound Power, but couldn't break it, and the huge recoil force caused pain to his palms.

Moreover, his Profound Power couldn't penetrate through.

After careful observation, a horrifying guess surged in Liu Sanming's mind.

This seemed to be—

a Pill Furnace!

A gigantic Pill Furnace!!

Now that he had fallen into it and was sealed inside, what would happen next...

"Your talent amazes me. At such an age, you've truly reached the Realm of the Dao King."

"But after you die today, I'll take a large step forward because of you. Gaining celestial secrets can lead to an encounter with Divine Power opportunities. Thank you."

"To repay you, I will never disturb your friends and family after your death. You can rest in peace."

An old voice suddenly echoed in the massive Pill Furnace.

"How do you know I'll die, or rather, how do you know my death would be more valuable to you than my life?"

Liu Sanming suppressed the tension in his heart and deliberately taunted.

He never expected such a precise and terrifying trap mechanism in the Centipede King's meditation room.

It seemed the innate omen was indeed accurate.

He was indeed careless.

Liu Sanming waited for dozens of seconds but heard no response from the Centipede King.

It seemed the provocation would fail, and then the temperature inside and outside the entire Pill Furnace began to rise rapidly!

Were they really going to refine him into a pill!

If this was true, Liu Sanming was doomed.

"Old man, please spare me! I'm willing to agree to any request of yours. I possess true inheritance, don't you want it?"

"Centipede King, I have an Immortal's legacy. If you release me, I'm willing to share it with you!"

Liu Sanming shouted with all his might!

He knew the Centipede King could definitely hear him, and he wanted to lull him into complacency to escape.

Yet, the Centipede King never responded, and after persisting for over twenty minutes, the entire Pill Furnace's temperature had skyrocketed to forty or fifty degrees.

And the oxygen was depleting rapidly.

Could it be that today, he was truly going to die?

On the brink of collapse, Liu Sanming immediately sat cross-legged on the ground, with his Profound Skill protecting him, closed his eyes, and entered a state of feigned death.

Only in this way could he conserve energy and reduce oxygen consumption.

Outside, the Centipede King couldn't actually see Liu Sanming's situation at this moment.

Because there were no cameras inside the Pill Furnace.

Only a small speaker was there, which, with the rising furnace fire, would soon be destroyed.

Honestly, the Centipede King also suspected that Liu Sanming had a rare inheritance.

Otherwise, how could a rural boy suddenly cultivate into a Daoist King strongman?

But the Centipede King also understood that this was Liu Sanming's stalling tactic, hoping to trick his way out.

So he forcefully suppressed the urge for true inheritance.

If Liu Sanming escaped, the consequences would be endless.

And within the Pill Furnace, regardless of whether the so-called Celestial Secret Pill was refined or not, Liu Sanming would die.

Only a dead man poses no threat to the living.

The Centipede King instructed his subordinates to follow the procedures for burning the furnace, adding other ingredients while sitting cross-legged to calm his excited state of mind.

The Celestial Secret Pill is a divine object coveted by many cultivators.

As long as he manages to refine and consume it today, there is a chance to break through the threshold and touch the verge of divine secrets and powers!

Eighteen minutes passed, and the temperature inside the Pill Furnace had already reached seventy to eighty degrees.

At such temperatures, how could anyone survive?

Moreover, various different medicinal ingredients had already been added, dozens of types going inside.

The Centipede King grew increasingly excited, wishing he could enter right now to take a look at the refining process.

But he didn't want to ruin it, so he had to restrain his curiosity.

And the entire refining process continued for two hours before finally ending.

Not only a person, but even a piece of iron would be melted into molten iron.

Only then did the Centipede King slowly get up, exiting from a compartment outside, standing in front of the Pill Furnace.

This gigantic Pill Furnace resembled a huge jar, with a silvery metallic color.

There were sealed locks all over its exterior.

"Open it; I want to go in and take a look."

The Centipede King ordered.

The four burly men standing by the door, expressionless, obediently saluted and nodded.

Soon, a sprinkling machine appeared atop the Pill Furnace, beginning to cool it down.

After a dozen minutes, the temperature dropped to normal levels, all the locks opened with clicking sounds, and a door slowly opened.

The Centipede King immediately caught a whiff of the smell of burnt flesh, smiled coldly, and squinted his eyes as he stepped inside!

...

On the other side, after being scolded by his grandfather, Zhang Tianhan left the villa and returned to his own mansion.

After returning, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became, so he went to the room where Shen Duling was held.

Approaching him, Zhang Tianhan tore off the blindfold from the other party's face!

"Bitch, open your eyes and look at me. Stop pretending to be pitiful! You think I don't know someone has been here once?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Suppressing her fear, Shen Duling replied coldly.

Zhang Tianhan immediately flared up!

Previously, his grandfather didn't allow him to touch Shen Duling to use her as bait.

But now, that Liu Sanming guy had surely been refined into pill ingredients by his grandfather, who could stop him from touching Shen Duling?

Zhang Tianhan raised his hand and slapped Shen Duling on her tender cheek!

"Idiot, quite the actress! Keep pretending! Let me tell you, that man is dead today. No one can save you now!"

"I... I don't believe it, keep making things up then! If you dare touch me, that man will surely retaliate against you!"

Shen Duling mustered her courage to shout.

Zhang Tianhan couldn't help but laugh coldly, "Tramp, let me tell you something terrifying. That guy is going to be refined into a pill tonight! What's left to say!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Duling's delicate face instantly turned pale as paper!

If the other party really was refined into a pill, then no one would come to rescue her...
