"A corpse? There's no corpse…" Fang Hong's expression remained unchanged; he shook his head, showing no signs of panic.
The corpse had already been refined into small pills by the demon gourd…
"You little beast! You fatherless, motherless mongrel, you actually killed my son! I… I'll fucking kill you!!" Sun Ergou's father's eyes were bloodshot, and veins bulged on his forehead.
His lips trembled incessantly. He suddenly rushed to the side, grabbed a large stone with both hands, and charged viciously towards Fang Hong, vowing to smash him to death to avenge his son!
Fang Hong's expression remained calm, and a hint of disdain even flashed in his eyes.
He casually raised his hand, and in an instant, blue electric arcs shot out from his palm, accompanied by a "zzzt" sound of electricity, piercing through Sun Dagou, Sun Ergou's father.
"Ah…" Sun Dagou let out a tragic scream and flew backward.
In just a moment, his eyes were wide open, and he was completely still.
For a time, the scene fell into dead silence; all the villagers were stunned, their mouths agape.
Their faces were filled with fear and disbelief as they stared intently at the scene unfolding before them.
"He… he has already refined magic power! He is already an Immortal Master!!" Someone in the crowd shouted, their voice trembling with terror.
"Immortal Master!!"
This shout woke all the villagers. They looked at Fang Hong with horror, trembling uncontrollably.
Immediately after, the villagers scrambled and fled, the scene descending into chaos.
The old village chief was so scared that he rolled his eyes and fainted; the villagers beside him quickly and clumsily carried him back…
"You beast! You killed my husband and son, I'll fight you to the death!!" Unexpectedly, Liu Pangzi's old mother was not afraid of death; she rushed at Fang Hong like a madwoman, her hair disheveled.
"You're courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Fang Hong's eyes, and he unleashed the Thunderbolt Technique again, electrocuting her as well.
Fang Hong took a deep breath, unhurriedly took out the demon gourd, collected the two corpses, and refined them into small pills.
From that day on, Fang Hong's home became a Forbidden Land in the village; no one dared to approach, no one dared to disturb, fearing to anger Fang Hong.
Thanks to this, Fang Hong could finally Cultivate in peace.
Fang Hong walked to a corner of the kitchen to check on the small earth rat's condition.
What he saw also startled him.
The small earth rat in the iron cage had actually grown a size larger; its originally tiny body had become unusually plump, its round belly almost filling the entire iron cage!
Its fur was shiny, its eyes wide open. When it saw Fang Hong approach, it immediately trembled with fear, its small paws constantly struggling in the iron cage.
Seeing the small earth rat still so lively and having grown so fat overnight, Fang Hong's face immediately showed an expression of wild joy.
This indicated that the small pills sprayed out by the demon gourd were a great tonic!
Fang Hong pulled the demon gourd from his waist pocket, carefully held it with both hands, and examined it closely; the more he looked, the more he liked it.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Fang Hong's mind: Can this demon gourd absorb living creatures?
To test this idea, Fang Hong took the small earth rat out of the iron cage, found a rope to tie it tightly, and the small earth rat struggled desperately under the rope, making "squeaking" sounds.
Fang Hong watched the struggling small earth rat and began to activate the demon gourd, but the final result disappointed Fang Hong; the demon gourd did not absorb the small earth rat…
This gave Fang Hong a better understanding of the demon gourd; at least he knew it couldn't directly absorb living creatures.
Fang Hong disposed of the small earth rat, and once again activated the demon gourd. This time, the demon gourd seemed to sense something; a powerful suction force emanated from its mouth, and the small earth rat's corpse was slowly drawn inside.
Before long, the demon gourd once again sprayed out a small pill.
Fang Hong happily put away the demon gourd, thinking that this might become an important treasure on his path to immortality.
"Grrr~"
Fang Hong was about to return to the small wooden house to try swallowing the small pill, but his stomach suddenly rumbled.
Only then did he realize that he had only eaten one meal from yesterday until now, and he was extremely hungry.
Fang Hong had no choice but to light a fire to cook rice and vegetables. Looking at the plain vegetables and rice cooking in the pot, he thought that once his Cultivation was higher, he could go into the mountains to catch some prey to nourish himself; constantly eating only vegetables wouldn't do.
…
After satisfying his hunger, Fang Hong returned to the small wooden house.
He sat cross-legged on the wooden bed, with five crystal-clear white small pills beside him, all refined by the demon gourd.
Fang Hong picked up a small pill and carefully placed it in his mouth. The small pill melted instantly upon entry, and a cool current of Qi spread from his mouth throughout his body.
Fang Hong's face immediately showed surprise, because he was not unfamiliar with this cool current of Qi; it was exactly the same as when he meditated for Qi Refining!
When he meditated for Qi Refining, he needed to draw the surrounding Spiritual Qi into his body, then circulate his Cultivation Technique to purify and refine the Spiritual Qi, only then could it be converted into his own magic power.
This entire process required a significant amount of time and effort.
But now, he found that swallowing the small pill was much faster than normally absorbing Spiritual Qi, and the Spiritual Qi in the small pill was extremely pure, requiring no purification or refining from him; it could be directly absorbed and converted into his own magic power.
In about a quarter of an hour, Fang Hong had completely absorbed the first small pill, and his internal magic power had slightly increased.
Fang Hong opened his eyes, his face filled with joy. Cultivating with these small pills was much faster than normal meditation for Qi Refining!
If he had a continuous supply of small pills to absorb, his Cultivation would surely progress very quickly.
This thought made Fang Hong impatiently pick up the second small pill, toss it into his mouth, and continue absorbing it.
He absorbed the small pills one after another; with each one he absorbed, he could feel his magic power continuously growing.
Thus, Fang Hong began a life of secluded Cultivation. Aside from daily eating, drinking, and bodily functions, he stayed in the small wooden house all day, meditating for Qi Refining, striving to Breakthrough his Cultivation as soon as possible…
