Forget it, just ignore them. When they "grow up", they will naturally understand that these are just fantasies.

Chapter 55 Coke

"True Lord! I have done it, I have accomplished it!"

A loud roar like ghosts and wolves howling suddenly exploded in his ears. Gu Shi, who had just fallen asleep, was startled and subconsciously sprayed towards the place where the sound came from.

After the virtual flash was sprayed out, Gu Shi finally realized that it seemed to be the voice of that idiot. He quickly waved his claws to disperse the smoke and dust in front of him.

The smoke and dust cleared, and the idiot who was hit by a flash appeared in front of Gu Shi. In addition to the hole in his chest, there was a fresh big hole in his stomach. The wound was carbonized by the high temperature of the flash, and no blood flowed out.

Seeing this scene, Gu Shi breathed a sigh of relief. The only fatal weakness of Daxu was the head with the mask. With Daxu's vitality, as long as the spiritual power was not exhausted, a hole in the body could only be considered a minor injury, which could be recovered by eating something. Even if he didn't eat, he could simply rely on breathing to absorb the spiritual power in the air and recover after a good night's sleep.

After making sure that he didn't kill his teammates by mistake, Gu Shi yawned loudly, wondering whether he should tell a story about "I like to kill people in my dreams". At the same time, he glared at the idiot who disturbed his sleep.

"What are you yelling about before bedtime? What did you achieve? Have you become an immortal?"

Erlang, who was also awakened by the noise, glared at the fool who was supposed to be on guard duty, and reluctantly retracted the virtual flash in his mouth that he was about to fire.

The two men did not hide their anger, and of course Hanhuo could see it. He quickly covered the wound on his stomach with one hand and apologized repeatedly. But even when he was apologizing, his tone was still high, and it could be heard that he was indeed very happy and excited.

Seeing him like this, Gu Shi couldn't help but wonder, could this guy have really "succeeded" in his training? Otherwise, why would he be so excited?

Is it true that one can cultivate immortality in the world of the God of Death? Then is the Tao Te Ching that I memorized so much back then still useful?

After a dry cough, Gu Shi straightened his attitude and asked seriously.

"Well, tell me, what have you cultivated? True Qi? Golden Elixir? Or Yuanying?"

The fool was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at Erlang with admiration. He was worthy of being called Erlang Lay Buddhist, what he said was right, the True Lord sometimes really would say some incredible things, such as the golden elixir and the primordial infant, which he had never heard of before, and he thought that they must be very important things on the road of cultivation.

He secretly gave Erlang a thumbs up in his heart, and the fool quickly shook his head vigorously.

"No, no, it's not that. Didn't you say before that Taishang Laojun used a furnace to make an elixir? I made it! I made an 'elixir'!"

As he spoke, the fool, who was covering the wound on his stomach with one hand, stretched out his other hand in front of Gu Shi, and in his palm lay a piece of... charcoal?

The pitch-black appearance, the irregular shape with convex and concave parts, and the densely packed small holes, no matter how you look at it, looks like a piece of coke that was very common in the era when every household burned coal.

But how could there be coke in Hueco Mundo? There were no real trees here, and all that looked like trees were quartz pillars. Even coal could not be produced, let alone coke, which required coal distillation.

Gu Shi immediately became interested. He took the piece of coke pill and observed it, then looked curiously at the fool with a face full of expectation.

"Tell me, how did you make this 'pill'?"

Seeing that Zhenjun admitted that what he had made was "elixir", the fool was greatly excited. He didn't even cover the wound on his stomach, and danced with joy as he told Gu Shi about his experience of making the elixir.

"Master, didn't you say that the furnace for alchemy is a sealed large pot with fire burning underneath? So I dug a hole and covered the hole with big rocks to use as the furnace!

"Then it's time to light the fire! I couldn't find any wood to light the fire in Hueco Mundo, but I've observed before that places hit by Holo-Flash will get burned. I stuffed half of Killian into the furnace as firewood, and after trying several times, I finally succeeded in lighting it with a reduced-power Holo-Flash!

“Also, alchemy requires natural treasures. I don’t know what natural treasures are, so I just stuffed everything I could find that looked powerful into the alchemy furnace!

"It's really difficult to refine the elixir. The lid made of such a big stone was almost lifted up by the flames. I pressed the lid with all my might, and my hands were sore before I finally refined the elixir!"

As the fool spoke, he made all kinds of gestures. Sometimes he spread his arms and drew a circle to show how big the stone lid was, and sometimes he pressed down hard to show how he was holding down the lid.

After watching his performance, Gu Shi understood his traditional alchemy process, but...

I still can't understand how this coke is made!

After thinking about it, Gu Shi decided to give it a try and asked Erlang to catch Killian and bring him back as a test subject.

The thing that the Great Void Forest lacks the least is Killians. After a while, Erlang ran back holding a Killian's neck. Every time the Killian tried to condense a Void Flash, Erlang would slap it in the face and break its Void Flash.

To be on the safe side, before feeding the "pill", Gu Shi first broke Killian's limbs, completely depriving it of its ability to resist, and then he pried open its big mouth. In the silly boy's distressed and expectant eyes, he threw the "charcoal pill" into Killian's big mouth.

After taking the "Charcoal Pill", they waited for a while, but nothing happened. Killian was still struggling and howling.

With every second that passed, the idiot felt more frustrated, and soon his whole body became listless, and his height of more than 30 meters seemed to be shrinking.

Gu Shi was not too disappointed. He muttered, "Is it the type that needs to be bitten to work?" and then punched Killian in the stomach.

The force was enough to overturn a 30-meter-high hill, and instantly smashed Killian's stomach into a thin piece, while also easily crushing the "charcoal pill" that had been swallowed into his stomach.

The next moment, a surge of spiritual power suddenly burst out from Killian's flat belly. This spiritual power was purer than the chaotic spiritual power of the Void, but its violent feeling was slightly stronger than that of the Void. It quickly poured into Killian's body.

With sufficient spiritual energy replenished, Killian's flattened stomach and broken limbs began to recover and regenerate quickly. After his injuries were fully recovered, his aura even became slightly stronger.

Gu Shi gave Erlang a wink, and Erlang immediately understood what he meant and pounced on him. After a few heavy punches and bites, he once again broke Killian's limbs and knocked down the big guy who was about to fight back.

Gu Shi fell into deep thought.

[The effect of this coke really feels a bit like that of a medicinal pill? ]

Chapter 56: Tianpeng (Second Update)

The fool had been tinkering with his brain and had actually come up with something similar to a pill. This fact made Gu Shi a little unconfident. He secretly wondered if there were really gods in the world of the God of Death? Was the Spirit King also a god? Could there really be a hell across the sea?

After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Shi finally decided to let the fool refine the pill again in front of him.

Hearing that the True Lord would personally supervise him in refining the elixir, Han Huo was extremely happy and took Gu Shi and Erlang to see his "alchemy furnace" happily. When he left, he did not forget to take Killian, who had broken his limbs, with him as firewood.

Soon, the fool once again performed the traditional method of alchemy in front of Gu Shi. After the process was completed and the stone lid of the "alchemy furnace" was opened, Gu Shi personally searched in the big pit that served as the alchemy furnace and found another piece of coke.

Looking at the hill-like lid of the "alchemy furnace", and knocking on the inner wall of the "alchemy furnace" that seemed to have turned into glass, Gu Shi felt that he seemed to have discovered the truth about the coke pill.

This thing must be a crystal of high spiritual power condensed into a solid form!

If, under the condition of equal volume, the spiritual power contained in the body of an ordinary human soul is one, then the spiritual power of a Great Void like Killian, even in its weakest state, is at least one thousand or more. It can be said that the body of a Great Void itself is a highly concentrated spiritual entity.

Most of Killian's head was stuffed into a pit and then ignited by Xu Shan. As fuel, the huge spiritual power contained in its body should have been decomposed and released to spread into the atmosphere.

However, because Gu Shi said that the alchemy furnace must be sealed, the fool put a lid on the pit and used all his strength to press down the lid to prevent the things inside from escaping.

The result was that the huge amount of spiritual power released by the burning of Daxu's corpse was trapped in a small space, forming a strong pressure inside. As the burning continued to release spiritual power, the pressure in this small space continued to increase.

At the beginning, these spiritual powers might seep into the surrounding soil, but the speed of this penetration is ultimately not as fast as the speed of spiritual power release. With a series of factors such as more and more spiritual power seeping into the soil, the heat generated by the burning of Daxu's corpse, and the increasingly powerful pressure, the surrounding soil has also turned into some kind of high-strength crystal, blocking the spiritual power from continuing to move deeper outward.

Eventually, when the spiritual power could no longer leak out, the pressure in the "alchemy furnace" reached a certain critical point and the spiritual power was compressed into a solid.

It is still uncertain whether there was a liquefaction stage in the middle, but as far as the result is concerned, most of Killian’s spiritual power was compressed into smaller solids by the powerful pressure and turned into "charcoal pills".

Moreover, judging from the performance of the previous experimental subject Killian after taking the charcoal pill, the spiritual power of the virtual species, which was originally chaotic due to the mutual devouring, seemed to be purified or purified in part during this process of continuous pressure, and a large amount of impurities were discharged, turning into a purer spiritual power.

Of course, perhaps because the compressed solid was not stable enough, the spiritual power became purer and more violent at the same time.

Gu Shi thought about it for a long time and felt that there should be no flaws in the alchemy process he deduced, which was the real reason for the birth of the Coke Pill.

While feeling relieved, he was also inexplicably disappointed. Gu Shi shook his head and was about to tell the fool that what he had made was not elixir but crystallization of spiritual power, but the words suddenly stopped at his lips.

[The so-called alchemy, after all, is not the process of putting various precious materials into the alchemy furnace, extracting the effective ingredients, and then fusing them together? ]

[If alchemy is also a technique that was slowly developed by the gods from scratch, then would the earliest elixirs be like this? There is no magical medicinal property, but simply a large amount of spiritual power gathered together? ]

[Why can't something made by a fool be called an elixir? Is it because this "elixir" looks like coke, and not like the round, golden, and fragrant elixir in the story? ]

[Is my thinking too limited? I have already traveled to a world where supernatural powers exist, but I still stubbornly believe that martial arts and elixirs do not exist? ]

[If Erlang's spiritual power manipulation is sophisticated enough, and he can release it into a dragon shape that wraps around his arm, why can't the slap he throws be called "Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms"? ]

After reflecting on himself in silence for a while, Gu Shi suddenly laughed, solemnly stuffed the "coking pill" in his hand, which was as big as a person, into the hand of the fool, and changed his tone and said with a smile.

"I didn't realize you had some talent for cultivation. However, what you refined can only be called a 'pill'. It is still a long way from being a true elixir. You still need to continue to work hard, study, and experiment before you can truly embark on the path of refining pills.

"I can't give you too much advice, I can only point you in a direction. You might try to make the pills you refine smaller and purer."

The fool held the pill he had made himself in his hands, shaking with excitement. "It can only be barely called a pill" was not a blow to him but a recognition. He has never lacked perseverance and determination. As long as the direction is right, he will continue to move forward firmly no matter how hard or difficult the process is.

Seeing that the fool was so excited that he was about to cry, Gu Shi was most afraid of others crying in front of him, so he quickly changed his tone to a cheerful one and gently patted the fool's shoulder.

"It's ugly for a grown man to cry. Hold back your tears. Come, give your work a name. As long as you keep improving it, maybe in the future, its name can become a treasure that everyone in the world will chase after. By the way, how about naming it after yourself?"

The fool quickly wiped his eyes, wiped away the tears that were about to overflow, and nodded vigorously and seriously.

"I understand! But Master Zhen, I, I don't have a name. You all call me a fool. I don't mind it myself, but I don't want my work to be called a fool. Can you help me come up with a name?"

Gu Shi pulled the corner of his mouth with some shame. Unlike Bat and Erlang, he really didn't regard this fool as a real partner before. He just thought of him as a passerby who could travel with him for a while. He never thought of asking the other party's name and always called him fool, which was a somewhat derogatory title.

However, it's different now.

"Okay! Then I'll give you a name. If you were to ask who the most famous fool is in the world, it would definitely be Zhu Bajie.

"But you may not be able to handle the name Bajie. It just so happens that Zhu Bajie's previous title was Marshal Tianpeng. You can just call yourself Tianpeng. It sounds nice and doesn't have a strong connotation."

Erlang, who was standing by, nodded repeatedly after hearing this. He remembered that when Gu Shi named him, he also said that he wanted him to be called Yang Jian, but he was afraid that he would meet the real Yang Jian in the future, so he gave him a common name "Erlang".

Silly guy, no, now it should be called Tianpeng.

Tianpeng nodded heavily as if he had taken on a mission, his voice still sounding a little naive but filled with deep joy.

"Thank you, Master Zhenjun, for the name. From today on, I am Tianpeng, and the elixir I refine will be called Tianpeng Pill!"

As he spoke, Tianpeng raised his hands high and looked at the pill in his hands affectionately, as if he saw his own future. It took him a long time to calm down.

After wiping the tears that still flowed unconsciously from the corners of his eyes, Tianpeng returned to his previous naive behavior. He hid his tear-stained paws behind his back, secretly observed Gu Shi's expression with a guilty conscience, and defended himself in a low voice.

"You are right, Master Zhen. It is not good for a man to cry. But I am a woman, so it should be okay for me to shed a few tears, right?"

...female?

...female!

...Female! ?

Huh! ?

All of a sudden, the hole on Tianpeng's stomach, which had not yet fully healed and was caused by Xu Shan, seemed to become dazzling.

Chapter 57: The Punitive Team

"Everyone, cheer up. This mission is obviously not easy. Don't be careless!"

The red-haired Grim Reaper sorted out his things while seriously warning his companions.

There are twelve Shinigami in total, all of whom are officers of more than ten seats mobilized from various squads. Just looking at the personnel configuration, you can tell that the danger of this mission is definitely not low.
