An alchemy furnace fell from the sky

"Have you seen Lao Tu? Where is he?" Jiao Tong asked.

"In the Shi family dungeon, after handing the bead to me, he...died."

Xu Fu could tell from Jiao Tong's nervous expression that she and Fang Su must have some friendship, but he could not hide the news of Tu Hui's death, so he just told her what he had seen truthfully.

"Impossible. The old butcher's skills are no less than Ma Yueming's. How could he be caught so easily?" Jiao Tong said sternly with his eyes wide open.

"I heard from Sheng Yu'e that Fang Su was bewitched..."

Jiao Tong was stunned when she heard this, and then her expression darkened. She also knew that if she was really poisoned, then no matter how high her cultivation level was, she would be at the mercy of others.

"That beast Cang Yun!"

Jiao Tong cursed loudly, raised his hand and shot out a "finger meteor" towards the exit of Guanhai Tower.

An extremely powerful spiritual power rushed straight into the sky, like a meteor, shooting straight into the clouds.

Xu Fu's face changed drastically. This feeling of oppression was even more intense than the one Sheng Yu'e used to chop off the stone man. It was hard to imagine how powerful Jiao Tong would be if he used all his strength.

Under such pressure, Xu Fu was just panicking, Shi Jiuan could only hold on with difficulty, and Li Wuji couldn't even stand steadily. Xu Fu was quick to support her.

After sending out this "Finger Meteor", Jiao Tong breathed a sigh of relief. His expression was still ugly, and he flipped over and jumped back onto the swing.

"Oh, and here's this for you."

Shi Jiuan suddenly remembered something, took off the bag on his back, took out a cloth bag, and after opening it through the three layers inside and outside, he revealed a thorny ring.

"Locking God's Crown!"

Only then did Xu Fu remember that this magic weapon was still with Shi Jiuan.

"This treasure is very powerful." Shi Jiuan said.

"Do you know how to use it?"

Xu Fu was very surprised. He had given the God-Locking Crown to Shi Jiuan for safekeeping for a few days, but he didn't expect that she actually discovered something.

"As long as you practice with this treasure, spiritual energy will be easily condensed."

After hearing this, Xu Fu tried it and found that it was just as Shi Jiuan said.

Even if he held the God-Locking Crown in his hand and practiced his mental skills for a moment, the surrounding spiritual energy would quickly rush towards him.

It’s just that Xu Fu was practicing the Tongtian Jue, which did not require much spiritual energy from the heaven and earth. If other cultivators used it, it would probably achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Seeing that Jiao Tong was in a bad mood, Xu Fu did not disturb him, but asked the two of them to go to Weisu to say hello and get the beads back.

Shi Jiuan said he wanted to pack his luggage and was the first to refuse, while Li Wuzhi also said he wanted to wash his face and clean the kitchen and would not go with Xu Fu.

In the end, only Xu Fu went to the Fireworks Pavilion.

The news that Hu Fan challenged He Qizhen for Xu Fu had already spread in Qinglong. At this time, before Xu Fu even reached the door of the Fireworks Pavilion, he saw two gatekeeper disciples coming up to him and bowing to him.

Xu Fu was flattered and hurriedly returned the greeting. He remembered that the last time he had knocked down two people and forced his way in, he did not expect to receive such courtesy this time.

After exchanging pleasantries with the two men, Xu Fu was invited into the Fireworks Pavilion.

The Fireworks Pavilion was still filled with a faint medicinal aroma, which Xu Fu found very familiar. He thought that Hu Fan must be refining medicine, so he walked towards the direction of the alchemy furnace.

There was no one next to the alchemy furnace, and the furnace was cold. Xu Fu was a little surprised.

"Focus on it, don't think about anything else!"

Xu Fu suddenly heard a scolding, the voice sounded like Hu Fan, so he hurried over to take a look.

In another hall connected to the alchemy room, there were four people sitting cross-legged, their fingers flashing with spiritual light and waving in the air. In front of each of them, there was a black ring hanging, which looked like an iron bracelet.

As several people carved, magic circles fell on the bracelets in front of them.

At this time, Hu Fan was leaning on a large chair with his eyes closed, resting. His clothes were loose and he was not wearing shoes. If he had not been fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, Xu Fu would have thought he was asleep.

"Oi-sukyo?"

Xu Fu called out in a low voice.

"Ding!"

"Ding!"

The two bracelets fell to the ground one after another, and the two men looked at Xu Fu angrily, obviously disturbed by Xu Fu.

"You're useless! Even this little noise can disturb your mind, how can you still refine weapons? Go back and recite the Calming Mantra 500 times."

As soon as Hu Fan finished cursing, the remaining two bracelets fell to the ground.

The four of them did not dare to refute. They bowed respectfully to Hu Fan with a grim face, picked up their bracelets and left quickly in shame.

"Is the Shi family's business done?"

After the few people left, Hu Fan glanced at Xu Fu, then took out a wine gourd from behind him and asked casually.

"It's done."

Xu Fu hesitated for a moment, then said, "Fang Su is dead."

"I know."

Hu Fan was not as surprised as Jiao Tong, as if he had heard the news a long time ago.

"You know?" Xu Fu was a little surprised. He had never told anyone about this before.

"This bead was given to you by Tu Hui, right?"

Hu Fan said this as he took out the green bead from his arms.

"Exactly."

Xu Fu was secretly shocked. Could it be that this Wei Su had deduced that Fang Su was dead based on this bead alone?

"Did Tu Hui give it to you or ask you to give it to someone else?"

"She said that I should give it to Senior Sister Qingguo." Xu Fu answered truthfully.

"Green fruit?"

After hearing Xu Fu's answer, Hu Fan was finally moved. It seemed that this answer surprised him more than Tu Hui's death.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Fan finally shook his head helplessly and threw the bead to Xu Fu.

"Wei Xiu, what is this?" Xu Fu took the bead. He had examined it before but found nothing. If it weren't for its different color, Xu Fu would have thought it was just a piece of stone.

"This is actually just returning the butcher's property to its original owner."

Hu Fan took a sip of the wine in the gourd and said lightly.

"You mean, this originally belonged to Senior Sister Qingguo? What's the use of it?"

Xu Fu looked at it again and felt that the bead was nothing special.

"Tu Hui was seriously injured and dying that year, and he survived thanks to this thing." Hu Fan said indifferently.

"so smart?"

Xu Fu was shocked and couldn't help but look at the bead in his hand with new eyes. It turned out to be a treasure for healing.

"But how to use it?" Xu Fu was still very curious.

"No one else can use it. Only the owner of this bead can use it." Hu Fan said.

Xu Fu nodded slightly. He had already guessed the answer. Once some treasures recognize their owners, other people cannot control them unless the original owner is dead or has great magical powers to erase the spiritual mark on them. Obviously, this orb is such a treasure.

"You'd better wait for Lao Hu to come back before giving it to her!" Hu Fan said in a deep voice.

"Wait for the dean to come back? Why?" Xu Fu was puzzled.

"This bead is not as simple as you think. It is more than just a magic weapon."
