Twilight Boundary-Chapter 791 - 781: Flesh and Blood Pill Furnace

The pharmacy at the Life-Knowing Hall already had the Yin Yang Two Lands: one to refine the Yang Refining Pill and another to refine yin medicine. Miss White Wine had long investigated this clearly.

She willingly came, stepping into the trap, resolving her karma. Now, taking advantage of all the experts gathering here, it was truly time to enter the pharmacy that held the real secret and see the truth behind the Undying Wang Family’s creation of Shangjing City.

And this glance indeed did not disappoint her. Upon entering this unlit room, the cat’s vision far surpassed that of others; without a lamp, the dim light spilling in from outside was enough to encompass the pharmacy.

It was very clean here, like every doctor’s room used for medicine preparation—neat and tidy, even appearing somewhat hollow.

But in this room, there was a Pill Furnace. The hollowed-out stove cover carried the unique coldness of metal, but the crucial part was that beneath this Pill Furnace lay heaps of flesh and blood.

The flesh and blood extended from some unknown place underground, bit by bit, much like a large tree, perfectly merging with the Pill Furnace. Half-metal, half-flesh and blood, the connection was so unified.

When the white cat lightly approached, she could see faint Purple Qi emanating from the Pill Furnace.

It was wisps and strands, very much like the scent produced by the Life Incense in the Lifebound Spirit Temple.

The white cat seemed shocked by the massive flesh and blood Pill Furnace, staring at it intently for a long time before her gaze slowly shifted to the wall. There hung a series of meridian diagrams: skeleton, meridians, blood vessels, three souls and seven souls, and finally, one last diagram...

...Lifebound Spirit Temple!

She suddenly shivered, instantly understanding everything. The emotional impact was so intense that even the fur on her neck stood on end.

Fake, it’s all fake...

The Daluo Dharma Sect colluded with the Undying Wang Family; this plan likely began more than a decade ago...

Amid her panic, she heard countless shouts and the sound of running in the distance. Torches swayed everywhere as people from the Life-Knowing Hall approached from afar.

"She’s using the Soul Transfer Method!" 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

From another pharmacy, a vaguely angry shout could be heard, "Indeed an evil spirit! I don’t know how many years and how much suffering she endured, transferring her three souls and seven souls, even her Divine Skills and bloodline, onto another person’s body..."

"She refined her own body into a Medicine Man!"

"Mr. Zeng, she’s your daughter. For her to have committed such an evil skill, have you really never noticed?"

"..."

Someone else hurriedly said, "This is not the time for questioning! Hurry, we must capture her!"

The white cat was far more agile than humans. She suddenly sighed lightly, leaping forward and transforming into a humanoid shape, slender and as pure as snow.

Tiptoeing quickly forward, she approached the flesh and blood Pill Furnace, which seemed to sense her presence. When she was in cat form, it showed no reaction, but once she transformed into human form, countless fleshy tendrils extended swiftly toward her, trying to entangle her.

But Miss White Wine was agile. With a slight dodge, she reached the row of diagrams and unhooked the one at the very end.

As she jumped out of the window, her body transformed back into a white cat, gently leaping into the shadows nearby.

All around, torchlight drew nearer, and voices filled the air.

The white cat deftly moved between the windows and beams of various buildings, difficult to detect, swiftly making her way towards the outskirts of the city. She didn’t even care whether she could escape at this point; she just needed to find a secluded place to use the Lifebound Spirit Temple to relay what she knew.

Beware of the Reincarnators in Shangjing!

Beware of the Wang Family’s Human Creation Technique!

She felt such urgency, desperate to escape, but among the pursuing Wang family members, someone quickly located the pharmacy containing the flesh and blood Pill Furnace.

They ordered others not to take a step into the pharmacy. The Wang Family’s Master, Wang Changsheng, personally entered the Pill Room for a glance. The next moment he rushed out, full of fury, shouting, "She must not escape!"

"Use the Soul Summoning Bell! No matter what, we must capture this evil spirit immediately!"

Upon hearing this command, everyone present looked furious. Suddenly, countless figures dashed towards the high points in the city.

They simultaneously pulled out silver bells adorned with yellow talismans from their pockets, tore off the talismans, and shook them vigorously.

The sound of the silver bells spread like ripples rapidly throughout the city.

At this moment, throughout the vast Shangjing City, everyone heard the ringing—whether they were sleeping, on night watch, drinking and gambling in a grand mansion, or cuddling courtesans and sharing wine mouth-to-mouth in pleasure houses.

And then everyone in Shangjing City suddenly fell silent, their movements paused, as they rose stiffly to their feet.

Like rows of zombies, they stood silently throughout the city, hands hanging down, heads lowered.

When all living beings in the city became rigid and silent, the white cat weaving through the shadows of Shangjing City suddenly stood out.

An untold number of silent, rigid figures, upon seeing the white cat leap past, suddenly raised their heads. Then, woodenly, they lifted their arms, blankly pointing in the white cat’s direction.

"Demon, meet your end!"

In an instant, someone seized the opportunity to find Miss White Wine’s location, urgently pursuing her.

Countless bell sounds, like a call for death, approached quickly from all sides.

...

Meanwhile, Hu Ma was trapped by the State Preceptor and four Reincarnators. Outside the city, the Food Protection Army had already begun their attack. The Reincarnators, having arrived early, showed no restraint, striking decisively and putting unexpected pressure on the Shangjing City Garrison.

Especially where the Food Protection Army launched its frontal assault, surging bloodlust and flying limbs hinted at the growing chaos.

However, the Shangjing City Garrison outnumbered the Food Protection Army by more than twofold. Under orders not to retreat, they held their ground outside the city, meeting every attack. Among their ranks, many experts from the Ten Families Sect joined the fray.

The Zhao of the Divine Hand, Zhu of Mountain-viewing, Li of Impermanence, and Chen the Ghost—these four surnames not only sent their own kin into the army to duel these evil spirits but also dispatched countless top sword-catching experts, even sword-catching Hall Officers.

Various experts mingled with the army, countering all manner of the Reincarnators’ dharma methods. For a time, the battle was fierce and the killing intent intense, but despite their ferocious assault, they still hadn’t neared the city walls.

Damn it, just how many experts are in the Ten Families Sect?

At this moment, amidst the battle formation, Er Guotou, Lord of the Ghost Walking Hu Family, used a dharma method from the Age Suppressing Book to set up an altar. Amazingly, he wasn’t consumed by the backlash from the murderous aura—a feat unimaginable for an ordinary person.

But while he held on, appearing fierce on the surface, he secretly cursed within, The Ghost Walking Sect’s Magic is ultimately no match for the four surnames...

Not only was it no match, but he could even sense that the four surnames assisting in the city’s defense weren’t exerting their full strength.

The Great Sword Catchers from the Ghost Walking Sect, leading various experts, were already holding their ground against the Reincarnators outside the city.

Yet the true Lords of the Ten Surnames were, for now, merely watching the spectacle from the city walls, not having truly intervened. The only time one of them acted was when a Reincarnator exploited the murderous aura, casting an evil skill that almost claimed the life of one of the Impermanence Li Family’s twins.

At that point, one of the Lords on the city wall merely flicked his sleeve. It wasn’t even clear what Magic he used, yet he resolved the crisis that had crept up to the youngster’s brow.

How could they fight this?

The difference in ability was starkly apparent; the entire battlefield now seemingly relied solely on himself and the Food Protection Army to bear the brunt.

Unexpectedly, on the city wall, the four Lords were actually somewhat curious about his side. They cast a few glances his way, discussing among themselves, "There’s actually someone among those evil spirits who can use the Hu Family’s Righteous Skill? Is it Old Hu’s handiwork, or Little Hu’s idea?"

"No matter whose idea, making the fake look real indeed is amusing."

"What’s even more intriguing is the one who set up the altar. I secretly tried to make a move against him, but the altar surprisingly didn’t break."

The Lord beside him couldn’t help but laugh. "Not just you! I tried too. Old Li and Old Chen both felt their hands itch and gave it a shot..."

Exchanging a glance, they couldn’t help but exclaim:

"Truly sturdy..."

But despite their fury, entering Shangjing City proved impossible. Even though the Reincarnators boasted, they knew well that they hadn’t yet encountered the true masters of the Ten Families Sect.

Especially since the family at the forefront of the defense wasn’t even the Zhou Family—the most skilled in battle formations among the Ten Surnames. If it was this hard to advance now, what would happen when the Zhou Family arrived?

Their initial momentum had waned, and finding the city defenses so difficult to breach planted doubts in their minds. Is it truly unstoppable?

Yet at this moment, outside the battle formation, an old, slow ox cart was slowly making its way toward Shangjing City.

Before the cart, a man in a white robe walked leisurely, his hair unbound.

Simultaneously, inside the city, Miss White Wine saw that the Undying Wang Family had gotten serious. The oppressive sound of silver bells pressed in from all directions. It was almost as if there was no way to heaven and no door to earth; even someone of her temperament felt despair creeping in.

But at this very moment, she heard the sound of wheels in the dead stillness of the city, incredibly distinct.

Looking up, she saw a little lady dressed in commoner’s clothes pushing a wheelbarrow. On the cart were two large barrels that, despite having lids, emitted a foul odor.

The white cat, upon seeing her, was dumbfounded.

The little lady, upon spotting the white cat, hurriedly dashed forward. She lifted the lid off one of the fragrant barrels on her cart and eagerly called out, "Little kitty, quickly hide in here..."

The white cat squinted its eyes, determined not to go in.

The little lady sighed helplessly. Then, with a sudden clap of her hands, she seemed to pull some unseen threads. Amidst ripping sounds, white paper men rose into the air from behind layers of houses, flying here and there.

RUSTLE, RUSTLE!

Facing the countless pursuing figures, the paper men let loose a flurry of paper money. Vast Shangjing City looked as if it were covered in a heavy, dazzlingly white snowfall.

From among them, a voice full of surprise rang out, "Hahaha..."

"The Ghost Walking Sect’s Little Sword Catcher is here! Prepare to meet your doom!"
