Bang... A loud explosion.

The crowd hadn’t reacted yet and was already surrounded by toxic gas.

"Not good." Xiao Yi’s face changed slightly as he sniffed the poisonous gas.

With Xiao Yi’s skills, he was naturally bold and fearless, directly judging by smell without hesitation.

"It’s Scorching Poison Pill."

Xiao Yi instantly recognized the elixir.

Scorching Poison Pill, once attached, its toxicity is as hard to remove as a bone-attached maggot.

The poisoned, their bodies rot, dying miserably.

And judging by the aura of this Scorching Poison Pill, it is at least the pinnacle elixir of Great Power.

Xiao Yi’s body contains various formidable flames, even inhaling directly wouldn’t harm him a bit.

Toxic gas enters the body and is instantly incinerated to nothing.

But for others, even a slight touch would be troublesome.

"Disperse." Xiao Yi instantly reacted, a thread of Sword Qi fired from his fingertip, instantly dispersing the surrounding toxic gas.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

At the fingertips, ten Detoxification Pills instantly flung into everyone’s mouths.

Fingers tapped quickly, detoxifying the crowd’s severe poison.

Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu were not much affected due to their strong cultivation.

But those ten Heavenly Talents, whose cultivation is around the Sixth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm, just a slight touch started causing their flesh to rot.

Fortunately, Xiao Yi reacted swiftly, using the elixir to neutralize the toxin before it spread within them.

Everyone was unharmed, and Xiao Yi earnestly gazed ahead without making a single move.

A minute later, Xiao Yi nodded.

"It seems as long as we don’t move forward, no more poison pills will jump out."

While speaking, Xiao Yi glanced at everyone, "Stay right behind me later."

"Yes." Everyone nodded repeatedly.

Xiao Yi scrutinized the path ahead, his eyes staring.

Alchemy prohibition is the hardest among the eighteen prohibitions.

Thus, the Alchemy Channel cut through it must be the most strange and dangerous.

Other paths still have traces to follow, dangers ahead, which can be handled anytime.

But here in the Alchemy Channel, upon entering, no abnormality was evident, only flames spreading around, but their power wasn’t significant.

Yet after walking a few steps, this Scorching Poison Pill suddenly jumped out and exploded silently, extremely suddenly.

Currently, Xiao Yi gazes straight ahead, finding no abnormality or danger.

But Xiao Yi believes that as they continue forward, dangers will inevitably erupt continuously and unpredictably, making it impossible to guard against.

"Young Master Xiao Yi." Guu Lianxing said worriedly, "This Alchemy Channel may be even harder to cross than the other paths."

"And this kind of danger..."

Guu Lianxing was right, other paths, like Thunder Light Channel or Blood Sea Channel, ultimately allow for reaction preparation.

Yet in this Alchemy Channel, the poison pill erupts instantly, with astonishing toxicity.

Once touched, it’s almost a sure death outcome.

The danger far exceeds other channels.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, pondering briefly, "Since there’s prohibition and a channel, it must be passable."

"It’s just a matter of difficulty."

Xiao Yi looked at everyone, smiling lightly, "It’s your bad luck to follow my team."

"Now, as long as we don’t proceed, there’s no danger, you still have a chance to choose."

"Retreat now to stay safe."

"This..." The ten Heavenly Talents hesitated.

Suddenly, one Heavenly Talent spoke solemnly, "I trust Vice Master Xiao Yi."

"I trust him too."

"I trust him too."

"..."

The ten Heavenly Talents gradually nodded one after another, leaving no trace of hesitation.

"Alright then, let’s move out." Xiao Yi smiled lightly, turned, and gazed forward again.

This time, his eyes were filled with confidence.

Swish... Swish... Swish...

Fingertips flicked lightly, ten Detoxification Pills shot into everyone’s hands.

"These Detoxification Pills, within the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, can’t guarantee to cure all poisons."

"But they can save your life."

"Hold onto them for emergencies."

"Thank you, Vice Master Xiao Yi." Everyone thanked him in unison.

In fact, Scorching Poison Pill is just a category of elixir, not a specific type.

If outside, even if everyone was poisoned, Xiao Yi would have enough time to determine which Scorching Poison Pill it was and perfectly detoxify with different detoxification pills.

But inside the Ancient Emperor’s Mansion, life and death are in an instant, clearly not possible.

Naturally, Xiao Yi could only give a normal high-quality detoxification pill for emergencies.

"Let’s go." Xiao Yi said, his steps immediately moving forward.

On the other 14 channels, various teams have long since moved far ahead, leaving Xiao Yi’s team far behind.

In comparison, their passage is slightly relaxed.

Xiao Yi and his party continued forward in the Alchemy Channel.

However, seconds later, swoosh... another Elixir flew through the air.

As soon as the Elixir arrived, it instantly exploded.

Poison gas scattered in an instant.

"Bone Erosion Pill? This time you won’t have a chance." Xiao Yi sneered.

He was already prepared, and dozens of fierce Sword Qi had been unleashed.

Sword Qi formed a Sword Net, blocking the spreading poison gas.

"Twist." Xiao Yi shouted softly.

The poison gas was instantly twisted to nothing within the Sword Net.

Xiao Yi and his party continued forward.

Every few dozen meters, an Elixir would fly through the air.

Xiao Yi was already prepared, every time the Elixir exploded he would twist it with Sword Qi.

Minutes later.

The group moved forward a thousand meters.

Swoosh... another Elixir flew through the air.

Xiao Yi instinctively unleashed a Sword Qi into the air.

If there were no accidents, the Sword Qi would instantly twist the Elixir and its poison gas to nothing.

However, this time, as the Sword Qi was about to twist the Elixir, the Elixir suddenly ignited.

The Sword Qi not only failed to stop the Elixir, but instead made the flame aura inside the Elixir even more violent.

Boom... over a dozen white flames, like mist, scattered at incredible speed, instantly engulfing the group.

"Not good." Xiao Yi’s expression changed slightly; at this moment, relying solely on Sword Qi probably couldn’t stop the flames.

The Purple Lightning Divine Sword was instantly unleashed.

Zzz... Zzz...

Dozens of fierce Thunder Dragons, equally fast, instantly blocked the erupting flames.

Under the purple lightning, the flames scattered to nothing.

"Phew." Xiao Yi sighed in relief.

The group behind him broke into a cold sweat.

In that instant, they could clearly feel that the erupting flames posed a lethal threat.

Even Guu Lianxing and Gongsun Huowu felt a surge of fear.

"That mist-like white flame, if I’m not mistaken, is Pure White Flame." Guu Lianxing swallowed hard and said.

"Correct." Xiao Yi nodded, his face becoming serious.

Previously, as they advanced, all they encountered were Poison Pills.

Therefore, everyone subconsciously believed that the obstruction within this Alchemy prohibition was only Poison Pills.

But the Medicine Dao is profound, how could it consist of only Poison Pills?

The Elixir just now was called Blast Flame Pill.

Blast Flame Pill is one category, while also one of the primary attack methods of an Alchemist.

The flame inside the Elixir just now was Pure White Flame.

Thus, this Elixir’s full name is Sky-Cleansing Explosive Flame Pill, a Supreme Elixir.

Obviously, the vast passageway contains obstructions that aren’t limited to Poison Pills, but other Elixirs with various effects.

Each one is deadly enough to kill.

Xiao Yi’s previous method of purely using Sword Qi to break through Elixirs clearly wouldn’t work.

For Blast Flame Pills, attacking with Sword Qi would only make them explode faster and the aura rampage more intensely.

"Young Master Xiao Yi, what should we do?" Everyone’s eyes collectively turned to Xiao Yi.

"Keep going." Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, and the look in them signified that he meant to become serious.

"Ancient Emperor, mere Medicine Dao methods won’t stop my footsteps."

Xiao Yi stared ahead, muttered to himself, and moved forward again.

Swoosh... another Elixir flew through the air.

This time, Xiao Yi’s speed and response surpassed everyone’s imagination.

"Another Scorching Poison Pill?"

Xiao Yi unleashed Purple Lightning Sword Energy, twisted the Poison Pill and its poison.

Seconds later.

Swoosh... another Elixir.

Just as the group showed worried expressions, thinking Xiao Yi would once again unleash a strike as before...

Swoosh... Xiao Yi flickered, instantly appearing before the Elixir, and flicked it with a finger.

His Finger Power seemed swift, yet gentle as water.

Swift softness instantly flicked the Elixir far away.

"Blast Flame Pill?" Xiao Yi sneered.

Sure enough, as soon as the Elixir was flicked away, it exploded instantly, flames towering.

However, since the Elixir had been flicked far away, it didn’t affect the group.

...

Third update.
