I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head



'What dense demonic energy.'

Chu Yunfan was shocked to find that the demonic energy was so dense. It was at least ten times denser than the spirit energy of the same grade. However, he immediately understood. This was because countless people were absorbing the spirit energy in the outside world at the same time. However, the demonic energy here had not been absorbed by anyone for a long time, so it was normal for it to be denser.

Everyone's eyes were like torches. Although it was pitch-black, the light emitted by their energy shields allowed them to see some of their surroundings.

They had landed in a mountain range. This place, under the influence of the demonic energy, was like a demon domain. It was completely different from the environment in other parts of Grand Xia.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past. Before anyone spotted it, the shadow pounced toward the group. A sharp claw swept over and attacked everyone.

"You're courting death!" Fan Shixin shouted. 

The divine power in his body surged. In an instant, actually turned into a light that filled the sky. Only then did everyone finally see what it was. It was a dried corpse.

The most terrifying thing was that this corpse was wearing the moon-white robe of the Flying Celestials. This corpse had been a disciple of the Flying Celestials when it was alive.

Its sharp claws landed on Fan Shixin and tore through his energy shield. Fortunately, everyone reacted at this moment and hurriedly attacked the corpse.

Bam!

The dried corpse exploded.

Everyone heaved a sigh of relief.

"This was a Flying Celestial disciple. Looks like this person came here in pursuit of Lone Star and was killed. Through the effects of demonic energy, he turned into an undead," Huang Ling'er said.

"That's right, that's very possible. It's also possible that they weren't here to hunt down Lone Star. Countless people have died here over the years," Zhang Yi said. 

Everyone thought of a terrifying possibility. They thought that Sierra Holy Demon was unsuitable for living creatures and so assumed there were no other dangers here aside from Lone Star. They realized now that they had probably underestimated this mountain range. Just the corpses that had turned into undead were extremely terrifying.

"Perfect!" Fan Shixin grinned and pointed at Chu Yunfan. "You, go ahead and scout the area."

"Why?" Chu Yunfan asked.

"We're stronger than you. If you refuse to go, you can die here right now." Fan Shixin sneered.

Chu Yunfan realized that Fan Shixin had changed his mind and brought along someone he thought was a burden because he had planned to let Chu Yunfan be cannon fodder.

Iron Heart and Zhang Yi had surrounded Chu Yunfan. They looked like they would kill him if he didn't cooperate.

"You guys are too much. I invited Brother Chu to come with us. How am I supposed to live with myself after this?" Huang Feng said.

"Shut up. You have no right to speak here. If it wasn't for Huang Ling'er, I wouldn't have brought you along either. You better listen to me or I will kill you too." Fan Shixin sneered. His expression was incomparably cold.

If it wasn't for Huang Ling'er's guarantee, he wouldn't have brought Huang Feng.

"Fine, I'll do it," Chu Yunfan said lightly. No one noticed that his eyes flashed with a sharp killing intent.

"That's right. If you obediently scout ahead, you won't die. After I successfully kill Lone Star, I'll compensate you generously." Fan Shixin laughed coldly.

His father was an elder, the ruling class of the Flying Celestials. He had seen this beating a stick and giving a carrot method many times and was very familiar with them.

Chu Yunfan wordlessly walked ahead of the group. Huang Feng wanted to say something but Huang Ling'er stopped him. The team continued forward in this awkward atmosphere. Suddenly, Chu Yunfan's figure flashed and disappeared into the demonic energy.

"D*mn it! He's trying to run!"

Fan Shixin immediately attacked. He had been guarding against Chu Yunfan's possible escape, so he showed no mercy and swept out a sword light. However, there was only a sound of metal colliding. Chu Yunfan did not budge even a little before he disappeared into the demonic energy. They could only vaguely see a bronze cauldron floating above his head.

"D*mn it! He escaped!" Fan Shixin gritted his teeth.

Chu Yunfan dared to run away from him and succeeded. To Fan Shixin, this was a great humiliation.

"It's fine. The Sierra Holy Demon is filled with dangers. If he had obediently scouted for us, he might still have a chance of survival. The only thing that awaits him now is death." Iron Heart sneered. "With so many of us together, we can barely protect ourselves. How long can a new Abstract like him last in this place? I'm afraid he'll soon become one of the corpses on the ground."

"That's right. If he were smart, he would have known to cooperate with us obediently. He thinks he has escaped, but he just ran toward his death." Zhang Yi nodded.

Fan Shixin's face revealed a bit of pride. "Forget him. We need to find Lone Star as soon as possible. As for Chu Yunfan, he's dead. What kind of seed genius is he? Only those who can survive can be called geniuses. Those who die halfway are all fools."

Among the crowd, only Huang Feng looked depressed. He felt that he had been used. But among these people, he did not even have the right to speak. He knew that what Fan Shixin and the other two said was right. In this environment, where demonic energy lingered everywhere and dried corpses were everywhere, Chu Yunfan was basically dead if on his own.

He felt a little regretful that Chu Yunfan had to die here before he could display his talent. However, this was a common occurrence for Grand Xia. Every day, countless geniuses were born and countless geniuses died.

"Let's hurry up and find Lone Star. I want his head and the Evolution Pill," Fan Shixin said.
