C101

After his great-uncle finished arranging his affairs, Dong Jizhong and him were the only two left on the stage.

As a pill refiner, he did not dare to be distracted, so Dong Jizhong was the only one who could do odd jobs.

He sighed in his heart, his great-uncle killed too early, and before the servants could finish what he was doing, he started to kill again. Now that he caused a family clan leader to do this kind of thing, how could he still stay in Yuelu Academy if word got out?

Unfortunately, his words couldn't even reach his great-uncle's ears.

His great-uncle who was wholeheartedly controlling the pill fire occasionally had Dong Jizhong add in spirit wood to increase the temperature of the pill fire. The water in the furnace was already boiling, and Dong Xinyao who was lying inside occasionally snorted twice, looks like he was also unbearably hot, even though he was in a deep coma, he still reacted.

"Uncle-in-law is new! He's ?"

No matter how strong a cultivator's body was, he wouldn't dare to stay in the boiling water for too long. He was truly afraid that something might happen to his precious son.

"Your son has been soaked in the juice of life before, even if it was boiling water, it couldn't hurt him at all. I don't want to hear your questioning voice again. This is the first and also the last time." My great-uncle didn't look at Dong Jizhong at all.

"Put the hundred-year-old corpse inside the cauldron. Remember, regardless of what you see, don't panic or say anything." He knew what would happen next, and was afraid that Dong Jizhong would interrupt the healing process.

With the precedent, Dong Jizhong did not dare to speak carelessly. Following his great-uncle's orders, he placed a fist-sized corpse inside the cauldron.

Even if it was boiled in boiling water, he could still slowly adapt to it. A pair of bean-sized eyes rolled back and forth. It had to think of all sorts of ways to leave this furnace, or else it would definitely become a dead turtle.

Finally, it saw a human lying in the water. The corpse desperately slid towards the direction of the human. When it came to the human's side, it opened its mouth to reveal its sharp teeth and bit into the human's skin to desperately drill into it.

"Ah ?"

"Oh ?"

Every time the Loose Corpse burrowed inwards, the unconscious Dong Xinyao would let out a blood-curdling scream.

Dong Jizhong who was watching at the side wished he could slap that damned corpse, but, every time he attacked, he would think of what his great-uncle had said, and in the end, he could only turn his face away from his son's appearance.

"Add the Blue Jade Venomous Scorpion. Hurry up and don't let the Loose Corpse enter the new Yao's body."

Granduncle's voice sounded urgent.

"Ah ?" "Oh ?"

Dong Jizhong frantically took out a dark blue scorpion from a bag. Before the scorpion could launch its attack, he directly threw it into the boiling water of the square cauldron.

The blue jade scorpion did not have the hard shell of a corpse. As soon as it entered the water, it was scalded by boiling water. It was at a loss of what to do. As if summoned by something, it turned its head to see a scorpion flopping in the water. Its little eyes emitted a green light, and saliva was flowing out of the corner of its mouth.

"Little guy, you're so cowardly. It seems like I need to give you a Calming Needle." As soon as he finished speaking, his great-uncle controlled the pill fire to slowly weaken, and the corpse within the square cauldron lifted its head up, its legs probing and releasing the fire into the water, discovering that the water was no longer hot, it decisively pounced towards the blue jade scorpion, taking advantage of its illness to take its life.

The Azure Jade Scorpion was on the verge of death and its entire body was flipped over. Other than its stinger which still had a cold gleam, its body was a light red from being boiled by the water.

"Aooo!"

The corpse bit into the head of the blue jade scorpion, wanting to directly swallow it.

Unfortunately, it no longer had much strength left. This kind of force could only tickle the corpse's trunk, and in a short while, the corpse's tail would completely swallow the azure jade scorpion.

After a burp, the corpse lay comfortably in the water, paddling back and forth.

"Money, Red Feathered Poisonous Centipede Tail Feather, Thousand Hand Centipede, throw them all in."

Dong Jizhong obeyed his great-uncle and threw everything into the square cauldron.

The burped corpse instantly turned into a hungry wolf, swallowing everything in a matter of seconds.

After his great-uncle saw all of this, he started to increase his firepower. This time, not only the spirit wood, he also threw all thirteen high grade fire spirit stone into the square cauldron.

"Bang!"

As the flames rose to a higher height, the light red square cauldron that was being shot out by the flames became scorching hot.

After completing the first part, what was left was no one who could control it. Now, it was Dong Xinyao's turn.

Regardless of whether it was the Thousand Hands Centipede, the Blue Jade Venom Scorpion, or the Money Dot, the Scarlet Feathers were all extremely toxic, and not a single one of the poisons could affect the corpse, so he thought of a method that could be cooked with water. The vitality of the corpse was very strong, and even if it was boiling water, it would not be able to hold the corpse for a while, but the Blue Jade Venomous Scorpion was different, it was only a short while later before it became half-dead, and just so became the first big meal of the corpse.

After a full meal, the poison in the Corpse Lotion greatly increased. The Thousand-hand Centipede, the Money Child, and the Red Feather Poisonous Centipede would only increase the toxicity of the Corpse Loose and would not take the life of the Corpse Lotion.

"I have an idea and I must ask for your opinion. There are two choices placed before you. The first is to cure Yao'er's illness, and the second one to increase her strength. Of course, the second one will be dangerous. When he was preparing for work, he had already thought about this. In fact, it would only take Dong Xinyao a few days of rest, he could even save Dong Xinyao if he used the Great Recovery Pill to reverse the flow of his meridians.

Dong family was an alchemist, and could be said to be an extreme alchemist. Every once in a while, he would try out new pills and have new ideas, originally, finding a slave to conduct experiments on was not a big deal even if one died or two, as all these pill slaves were alive to test new pills.

After thinking about it for a few years, he had experimented on it over a hundred times, and had lost dozens of pill slaves, which finally allowed him to summarize an idea. If he succeeded, the Dong family would become the largest family within a thousand li, not to mention the principal of the outer sect of the Yuelu Academy, even if the Dong family wanted to become the head of the Qi Kingdom, it would be a simple matter.

Furthermore, he needed a direct descendant to be his pill slave. Even if he had a high status, he would not dare to easily use his direct line of descent to conduct an experiment. Just when he was at a loss, the Dong family Clan Leader found him to treat his son.

Dong Jizhong realized that his great-uncle's expression was very serious. He had also heard about his great-uncle's series of experiments in the past few years, the vast majority of them were experiments that ended with the death of their pill slave.

"You can't ?"

Dong Jizhong answered without even thinking.

"Think about it ?"

It also said that Dong Jizhong wanted to cut off the hope of the Dong family's complete rise. If he could succeed in experimenting on the Patriarch's son, then he would be able to use it on a large area of his direct line of descendants.

"Uncle, I can't just watch as you torture him to death."

"Clan leader, I can understand your feelings, but don't forget what kind of status you have, the clan elders are pushing for you, and they aren't trying to make you a family head, they aren't trying to make you act like a mother and daughter, our Dong family hasn't risen to prominence in hundreds of years, you don't want the Dong family to rule over thousands of miles under your leadership, I can guarantee that once we succeed in the experiment, we will become giants, and no one will dare to provoke us."

"But ?"

One was his most beloved son, while the other was the hope for his clan's rise. Dong Jizhong was extremely unwilling to make a choice here, maybe this was the sorrow of being born in a large clan, and could enjoy the convenience brought by a large clan, but he had to give in, or even sacrifice himself, for his clan.

"Granduncle, no matter what happens, you have to save Yao'er's life. This is the only request I have of you." In the end, Dong Jizhong gave in. It was just as what his great-uncle had said, as the patriarch of the Dong family, he had to take responsibility of the thousands of people in the Dong family.
