Then he slapped his thigh excitedly, “That’s right, didn’t we just catch some bugs? We can use them for testing the drugs!”
As he said this, he looked at Li Fan and the others who were suspended in mid-air, his gaze shifting: “Which bug should I choose?”
The men felt a chill down their spines as they were scrutinized.
They dared not make a move, they held their breath and maintained silence.
“Let’s start with this one.” The man in the Taoist robe eyed them for a while, finally settling his gaze on one of them. He promptly reached out and grabbed.
Upon seeing this, the person could not remain calm anymore.
But his struggle was fruitless and he was unable to make any noise.
His body flew towards the man in the Taoist robe and his body gradually began to shrink in size.
In the end, he turned into a tiny fly and fell into the man’s palm.
The face of the fly still vaguely resembled a human face, bearing an expression of extreme terror.
The man in the Taoist robe gently held the Human-face fly which was constantly making buzzing sounds as its wings flapped.
But everything was in vain. The man held the fly in one hand and a Black Elixir in the other.
The Elixir was many times larger than the fly, but he forcefully pushed it into the fly.
The Human-face fly struggled in agony as it was made to swallow the Elixir.
Its abdomen bloated many times its size, turning into a large round ball.
The fly’s vitality gradually diminished, but its torment had just begun.
After the Elixir was ingested, it seemed that it got digested, and it began to reduce in size.
However, a buzzing sound, like that of a swarm of mosquitoes, suddenly arose.
The body of the Human-face fly suddenly began to twitch uncontrollably.
One by one, tiny Black Dots wormed their way out of its abdomen. Upon a closer examination, those Black Dots were actually tiny flies that had just hatched.
After these flies crawled out, they didn’t scatter, instead, they remained on the Human-face fly’s body, voraciously feasting on it.
Soon, the Human-face fly was eaten to the point where not a trace of it was left.
The man in the Taoist robe shook his head, a look of regret on his face.
“It seems that the drug testing failed. The potency must have been too strong.” Saying this, he opened his mouth and sucked the swarm of flies into his stomach.
Despite having heard about the occurrences at the Demonic Refinement Tower previously and having mentally prepared himself, Li Fan couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.
The scene was horrifying.
The man in the Taoist robe looked at the remaining Elixir in his hand, seemingly in a dilemma.
“Should I try this one again?”
He glanced again at Li Fan and the others.
All three of them held their breath.
After a long pause, the man in Taoist robe sighed: “Forget it, the ones refined in a single batch should be similar.”
Saying this, he opened his mouth and casually tossed the Black Elixir in.
After swallowing the Elixir, the man in the Taoist robe seemed completely unaffected.
He became absorbed in his thoughts again.
He started mumbling to himself about the lack of Alchemy ingredients, completely ignoring the three men restrained in mid-air.
Of the three survivors, Li Fan remained silent.
Sikong Yi showed no emotion.
The remaining man looked completely defeated.
“I would’ve preferred to die at the hands of Qin Tang, at least it would have been quick.”
Time seemed to hold no meaning in the Demonic Refinement Tower.
The fates of everyone were entirely dependent on the actions of the man in the Taoist robe.
After an unknown duration, the man awoke from his state of trance.
He pulled out two more Elixirs from the wide sleeve of his Taoist robe, but this time they were startlingly green.
“Which bug should we use for tasting this new drug?”
This time, the man hesitated, but his gaze turned towards Sikong Yi.
“Let’s choose this one!”
Li Fan immediately perked up, curious to witness how Sikong Yi, who had dared lure him into this trap, would react.
What surprised Li Fan, however, was that Sikong Yi didn’t resist at all.
After being turned into a bug and forced to swallow the Green Elixir, he instantly dissolved into a puddle of green liquid.
Sikong Yi was dead!
‘What’s going on? What went wrong? Is it because I tracked him that things developed differently than in the previous existence?”
“No, Sikong Yi clearly lured me into this Demonic Refinement Tower. How

“Did he lead me here, knowing that it was a trap, just to trade my life for his?”
Just as Li Fan was immersed in doubts, he sensed something and suddenly lifted his head.
On the outside of the Demonic Refinement Tower, The Formless Killing Machine, which had locked onto Baili Chen, was slowly approaching.
At his side, Li Fan sensed that the Formless Killing Machine, that had previously lost its target, was once again locking onto a target: Sikong Yi.
Sikong Yi, who was supposedly dead, had appeared outside the Demonic Refinement Tower again.
“A Puppet? An Incarnate? It doesn’t feel like either….”
Staring at the puddle of green liquid on the ground, Li Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
“It seems that the secrets these two harbor are even deeper than I had imagined.”
“However, once I have my eyes on them, nothing remains a secret.”
Through Li Fan’s senses, Sikong Yi and Baili Chen were seen moving deeper into the Celestial Palace of Clouds and Waters.
“With the Formless Killing Machine tracking them, I don’t have to worry about them escaping. I just need to find a way out of this Demonic Refinement Tower soon.”
However, the actions of the man in the Taoist robe had a pattern of their own and Li Fan could not control it. So, he could only choose to wait patiently.
Soon, the third round of drug trial came.
This time, Li Fan was not chosen again. Li Fan couldn’t help but feel amused by this. He wasn’t sure whether he should consider himself lucky or unlucky.
The man in the Taoist robe pulled out two Pink Elixirs and fed them to the Human-face fly.
The fly burst with a ‘bang’ and turned into a puff of pink smoke..
