Looking at the two fist-sized red elixirs with a metallic luster, two wriggling flesh elixirs, and two decayed, foul-smelling black elixirs, Li Huowang nodded in satisfaction.

He had put all the poisonous materials he could think of into them. With so much poison, it would definitely be lethal.

Beside him was an incense stick, representing the remaining time of the year. According to his made-up methods, they had to absorb the spiritual energy that fell from the immortal realm at the moment of the New Year.

Cross-legged, Li Huowang picked up the red elixirs and prepared himself. He was about to die, yet he found himself surprisingly calm.

Indeed, he hadn’t prepared any backup plan.

Li Huowang understood that he would have to take these elixirs. Otherwise, Dan Yang Tzu wouldn’t have eaten them first.

Although they had just finished the New Year’s Eve dinner, and Dan Yang Tzu appeared friendly, his talk of becoming immortals together was really just a way to use Li Huowang as a test subject for the elixirs.

But he never expected that Li Huowang didn’t care about his own life at all.

Li Huowang never thought of running away. He had long been indifferent to life and death, as he didn’t really belong in this world.

The only purpose for him to live now was to watch Dan Yang Tzu, this disgusting trash, die under his influence.

And at that moment, Dan Yang Tzu sat across from him, picking up a red elixir as well.

As they watched, the incense stick gradually burned down.

When the incense was almost burned out, Li Huowang took a deep breath and shoved the elixir in his hand into his mouth, swallowing it whole.

At that moment, Dan Yang Tzu stopped preparing to take his own elixir and focused on Li Huowang’s actions.

Li Huowang, with a slightly excited expression, seemed unaware of anything else. He continued to swallow the remaining two types of elixirs, closed his eyes, made a spell seal with his hands, and placed hands on his knees.

Sweat dripped down his face as Li Huowang’s body began to tremble, but an uncontrollable ecstasy gradually appeared on his face.

“So much spiritual energy! This…this is…I understand now, I understand!! I’m going to become immortal~!” he exclaimed.

Upon hearing Li Huowang’s exclamation, Dan Yang Tzu’s eyes showed a hint of anxiety, but he still didn’t immediately take the elixirs. It wasn’t until he saw white smoke rising above Li Huowang’s head that he swallowed the elixirs hastily.

As Dan Yang Tzu sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, practicing the the Inner and Outer Great Circulation, Li Huowang slowly opened his eyes, looking at his master with an even happier smile than before.

As Li Huowang saw white smoke rising from Dan Yang Tzu’s head and black substances crawling up his veins, he couldn’t hold the cross-legged position any longer. He clutched his severely pained stomach and burst into mad laughter.

“Hahaha, Dan Yang Tzu!! You can’t become immortal! You can only become a ghost, hahaha!!”

Dan Yang Tzu seemed to have heard him, but he didn’t react at all. His eyes remained closed, teeth clenched as he continued to vigorously practice his spells in meditation.

“You’re still practicing? It was all made up by me! I copied everything from novels. Haha, oh, my stomach hurts… haha!”

Li Huowang crawled slowly to Dan Yang Tzu’s side, laughing maniacally while looking at master’s pale face. He trembled as he lifted his right hand and slapped Dan Yang Tzu’s face. “Hey, are you deaf?! I’m talking to you!” He slapped him again, but Dan Yang Tzu remained unresponsive.

Li Huowang slapped Dan Yang Tzu again, but he still did not react. Trembling, Li Huowang took out a power pill and stuffed it into his mouth. His veins bulged as he felt himself fill with strength.

“I told you to stop practicing! Didn’t you hear me?” Li Huowang punched Dan Yang Tzu’s face, causing his nose and mouth to sink inwards.

Dan Yang Tzu, with a mouthful of blood, suddenly opened his eyes and viciously glared at Li Huowang. He waved his Taoist robe and sent Li Huowang flying out.

“Get out of here! You personal demons won’t stop me from becoming an immortal!! The ancestral masters will come to take me to immortal realm soon!”

Li Huowang, lying on the ground after being thrown, did not sit up again. He just lay there, murmuring to himself, “He’s crazy. This guy has been completely driven mad by his obsession with becoming an immortal… Ouch, my stomach really hurts…”

As time passed slowly,Li Huowang’s abdominal pain grew more and more severe, causing his body to curl up instinctively.

“Ah, why is it so painful… When will this end? I regret not bringing a knife earlier to slit my throat,” writhing in agony, Li Huowang rolled around on the ground.

The intense pain gradually clouded Li Huowang’s consciousness. In his confusion, he saw Yang Na’s face again. “Yang Na, have you come to take me?”

Yang Na’s face quickly melted away, and was replaced with the image of his attending physician. 

“Patient in bed 14 has unclear consciousness, possibly due to food poisoning! Bring the gastric lavage machine quickly!”

Li Huowang slowly closed his eyes. “To hell with your gastric lavage… Don’t forget, this is a psychiatric hospital… Where would you find a gastric lavage machine…..”

Li Huowang’s consciousness gradually faded.

Now, Li Huowang feels very comfortable because his stomach is no longer hurting.

Li Huowang feels like his body keeps falling down, but he can’t seem to reach the bottom. “Hang in there, Huowang, you promised me!” A hazy female voice explodes in his ear.

After what feels like an eternity, Li Huowang suddenly opens his eyes and begins to vomit uncontrollably.

Li Huowang vomits out a lump of mixed black water, fragments of hair, dumpling crumbs, and some pieces of internal organs. The malformed flesh lies motionless in the black water.

All of this sudden events leave Li Huowang stunned in place: he’s still alive? How could that be? If he’s still alive, then what about Dan Yang Tzu…

As soon as he thinks of this, Li Huowang breaks out in cold sweat, and he instinctively turns his head to look. Then his mouth involuntarily opens wide. “Holy shit… He’s become immortal… Wait… What the fuck  is that?”

He sees that Dan Yang Tzu’s body has completely transformed into a grotesque form, with an ugly head split open into three large, skinless mouths. Those mouths contain three or four small mouths each, full of disgusting yellow teeth, all twisted together and gaping to the ceiling.

Not only his head, but Dan Yang Tzu’s body has also undergone significant changes. The feathers that were stuck to his body with tar have turned into sharp spikes, piercing through the flesh.

“What is this?Three flowers raise the sky, feathered flight to the divine high?” Li Huowang mutters to himself.

(三花聚顶,羽化登仙,The scene of a legendary Taoist becoming an immortal)

At that moment, the three mouths open wide, and the voices of young, middle-aged, and old Dan Yang Tzus all speak at once. “I see it now! I understand now! Hahaha!”

With a loud bang, Dan Yang Tzu’s body suddenly explodes, splattering blood and flesh all over the alchemy room.
