Chapter 440: Emberguard Talisman! Robbing an immortal Fortune Like This!?
Li Yanchu’s expression, however, remained calm, as if he had already foreseen this would happen.
Those few cultivators who had been preparing to leave immediately rushed back, their faces alight with delight as they looked upon that ancient alchemy furnace, sensing the dense vitality and blood and qi of the Blood-Qi Pill still within it.
A slovenly old Daoist, with a peachwood sword on his back, pulled a Emberguard Talisman from his robe and slapped it onto his forehead.
Then, without hesitation, he reached straight toward the furnace. He was far too old, and if he could obtain that Blood-Qi Pill, his withered body might once again blaze with life!
“Hey! Ox-nose Daoist, you’re good at picking up bargains, aren’t you?” a black-robed elder sneered coldly, and from his chest, a ghastly ghost hand shot out like lightning, clawing toward the old Daoist.
The peachwood sword on the old Daoist’s back leapt from its sheath, and...
Clang!
It clashed head-on with that eerie ghost hand.
In that same instant, the old Daoist successfully grabbed hold of the alchemy furnace, the Emberguard Talisman on his forehead flaring red-hot as it began to burn away. That burning was the sign of its imminent destruction, yet the old man let out a quiet sigh of relief. There was still time.
He tried to lift the furnace lid, but it wouldn’t budge at all. So he drew out another yellow talisman and pressed it to his forehead.
Instantly, terrifying strength surged through his aged arm. With a roar, he wrenched the heavy lid open. A dazzling crimson light burst forth once more, and an intense fragrance of medicine spread through the air!
By now, half of his Emberguard Talisman had already burned away. The slovenly old Daoist gritted his teeth, deciding to risk it all as he reached in to seize the Blood-Qi Pill, but at that very moment, a cold snort rang out.
