Chapter 190: Chapter 163: Remnants of the Demonic Dao_2

In the center of the main hall sat a massive cauldron. Surrounding it were six cultivators, dressed in azure robes, each sitting facing a different direction.

In a corner of the great hall, a couple dozen children of various ages stood motionless in exhaustion. Including the new ones who had just been brought in, there were about a hundred in total.

Beside them stood four men and women in grey robes, ensuring the children wouldn’t run around. The somber woman who had escorted them in took her place by their side.

Everyone waited with grand anticipation, as if expecting someone.

Before long, a flamboyantly dressed man entered, wearing a colossal crimson robe with a bizarre demeanor.

“Is everything ready?”

“Honorable Lord, a hundred boys and girls are ready!”

Among the six azure-robed cultivators, one replied with a fawning grin.

“Very well, let us begin! Should we succeed in creating the Blood Essence Pill, you shall each have your share!” the man in the crimson robe declared.

“Thankyou, Honorable Lord!”

One by one, they each bowed in gratitude, and their breathing grew heavier.

The crimson-robed man took his place at the main seat. The preparation for alchemy commenced, and afterwards, his gaze turned to those watching the children.

“Insert one every thirty breaths, boys and girls separately. If mistakes are made, I will not let you off the hook!”

“Yes!”

The five obliged and bowed their heads. Their eyes shifted toward the children, figuring out whom to choose first.

The children, scared and crawling over each other, resembled freshly hatched chicks. Among them, a boy named Xu Da, stood still, unmoved.

Xing Wei reached out and pulled him, but did not budge him.

The nail that sticks out gets hammered down!

Seeing Xu Da’s notable stand, they didn’t cut him any slack. They grabbed him and threw him into the pill furnace. The other children held their breaths in horror.

As Xu Da was tossed into the furnace, the fire, which initially just covered the base, fiercely soared, nearly encompassing the entire pill furnace. It was so hot that one could feel their skin blistering even from yards away, let alone inside the furnace itself.

Xing Wei covered her mouth, staring at the pill furnace with fear, worry, and most of all, despair.

However, what baffled everyone was that there was no sign of life from the child in the furnace.

Did he die when he was thrown in there?

Thirty breaths passed very quickly, and during that time, the man in the crimson robe had thrown in a lot of medicinal herbs.

Just as the four grey-robed cultivators forced another child to be tossed in, the crimson-robed man abruptly halted them.

“Wait, the previous one hasn’t been fully digested. Wait a few more breaths!”

A few breaths later, the crimson-robed man halted them again, this time with a furrowed brow.
