Chapter 507: Chapter 331: Arrogant First, Respectful Later, Completely Refined to Death_2

Seeing the form “Yan” had transformed into, Plague Elder knew he had fallen into the trap of this Spiritual Artifact.

At that moment, Plague Elder felt his liver tremble.

The Leaving Fire Tripod was the Sect Spirit Artifact of the Li Huo Sect, and its grade had reached that of a Middle Grade Spiritual Device.

It was one grade higher than his own Plague Gourd.

Most importantly, the Leaving Fire Tripod was famously adept at Refinement,

especially in Artifact Refining and Alchemy.

Originally, it was with this very tripod that the Li Huo Sect could continuously produce high-grade Magical Treasures and Elixirs, securing a place for itself in the Cultivation World.

Now finding himself within this cursed Spiritual Artifact Space, it was the worst possible news for Plague Elder.

If he had known earlier, he would not have provoked that kid so.

A trace of regret passed through Plague Elder’s heart.

Unfortunately, regret was pointless now.

As the Li Huo Dragon, which “Yan” had transformed into, coiled around him, he had no choice but to shrink back, hiding in the deepest part of the Plague Gourd.

Hoping that his own Spiritual Artifact would withstand the Leaving Fire Tripod’s Refinement.

The Plague Gourd was fortuitously made by fusing a piece of Exotic Iron he had found by chance.

It possessed strange abilities that even he couldn’t fully comprehend; perhaps it could protect his every aspect.

Powerful forces of fire surrounded the Plague Gourd, with “Yan,” in the form of the Li Huo Dragon, tightly entwined around the gourd.

However, after half an hour, the Plague Gourd showed not the slightest change, as if the flames around it simply did not exist.

“How is this possible?”

Doubt flashed in “Yan”‘s eyes.

Although it was not fully healed, and its might was nowhere near its peak,

the Plague Gourd in front of it was clearly even more damaged.

Yet it, being a Middle Grade Spiritual Device, could not refine it!

“This damn gourd is odd!”

Just as this thought flashed across “Yan”‘s mind, Lu Qing’s voice came from above.

“How goes it, ‘Yan’ senior?”

A slight embarrassment crossed “Yan”‘s eyes, but it reported truthfully, “This Plague Gourd seems somewhat peculiar; I cannot refine it for the moment.”

“What should we do then?”

There was no hint of emotion in Lu Qing’s voice.

However, “Yan” inexplicably felt tension.

After some thought, it said, “My True Spirit has not fully recovered; my available power is limited. In the short term, it’s likely difficult to affect this Plague Gourd; I need your help.”

“Okay!” As soon as Lu Qing heard, he immediately agreed, “I will assist with the great Array within this manor to refine this old ghost to death!”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than “Yan” felt a strong Array power bolstering the Leaving Fire Tripod.

At the same time, a vast surge of Spiritual Energy flooded into the tripod.

It immediately revitalized in spirit, swallowing up all the Spiritual Energy unapologetically.

The next moment, its form in the Spiritual Artifact Space swelled immensely.

It swallowed the Plague Gourd whole, its body coiling as endless fiery power penetrated into the gourd.

The Plague Elder, who had hidden deep within the gourd, was secretly pleased that “Yan” couldn’t handle him,

never expecting “Yan”‘s aura to suddenly surge more than tenfold.

His eyes widened in disbelief, “How can this be!”

At the same time, with frantic thoughts, he mobilized the remainder of his Divine Soul Power, urging the Plague Gourd’s power to resist.

But all these efforts were in vain as “Yan” relentlessly refined it.

White flames seeped persistently into the Plague Gourd,

destroying the restrictions painstakingly set by the Plague Elder layer by layer, burning away all the gray Plague Qi, and slowly spreading towards the depths of the gourd.

No matter how hard the Plague Elder tried, he could not stop it.

“No!”

As the white flames steadily encroached upon the space where his True Spirit lay hidden, Plague Elder showed a look of terror.

His Divine Soul sent out violent fluctuations, “Young Master, I yield, I am willing to release my True Spirit and submit to you!”

The white flames about to reach the Plague Elder’s True Spirit instantly stopped.

“Yan” also looked up towards the high skies.

The Plague Elder breathed a sigh of relief.

However, the next moment, Lu Qing’s indifferent voice came from above, “Too late, Plague Elder, I gave you a chance, but you did not treasure it. ‘Yan’, refine him for me!”

This statement not only caused “Yan” to be stunned, but the Plague Elder was also greatly shocked.

He hurriedly shouted, “Master, the past was all a misunderstanding, it was my loose tongue, I shouldn’t have provoked you like that.

I realize my mistake, please spare me this once, Master.

From now on, I will serve you with all my heart and toil like a dog or a horse!”

In order to save his life, the Plague Elder didn’t even care for his own dignity, immediately addressing Lu Qing as “master” and referring to himself as an “old slave.”

His abjectly fawning attitude left “Yan” completely dumbfounded.

It knew that these people of the Demon Path were always cunning and deceitful, as well as shamelessly vile.

But it hadn’t expected that a once great Primordial Spirit Cultivator, desperate to live, could be so utterly shameless.

Yet what “Yan” found even more unexpected was that,

Facing such a humiliating plea for mercy from the Plague Elder, Lu Qing still showed no compassion.

He simply said indifferently, “‘Yan’, did you not hear what I said? Refine him!”

Hearing Lu Qing’s tone grow even sterner,

“Yan” realized that he was truly intent on refining the Plague Elder to death,

Not merely threatening him in order to bring him to submission.

Sensing Lu Qing’s dissatisfaction, “Yan” dared not delay any further, and immediately reignited the flames, spreading them towards the Plague Elder,

“No! Don’t do this!”

The Plague Elder couldn’t believe that even after he had lowered himself so much, Lu Qing still wanted to refine him to death.

He shouted desperately, “Master, I truly realize my error, please give me another chance to become your most loyal servant!

Furthermore, if you refine me to death, the Plague Gourd’s grade will drop and it will become a mere treasure.

That would be a great loss for you, Master. Please reconsider!”

Sadly, his plea went unanswered by Lu Qing.

Amidst Lu Qing’s silence, “Yan” propelled the white flames that ultimately breached the space where the Plague Elder was hiding.

As he watched the white flames with their terrifying aura inch closer to his True Spirit,

The Plague Elder finally despaired.

A look of madness appeared on his face.

“You little beast, if you want me dead, let’s all die together!”

With that, his mind raced, attempting to detonate the core restriction of the Plague Gourd, to self-destruct the Spiritual Artifact and perish alongside Lu Qing.

However, when his will seeped into the core restriction, he found himself utterly unable to activate the Plague Gourd’s power.

“Thinking of self-destructing?”

“Yan’s” grand voice echoed deep within the gourd.

“Plague Elder, had you detonated the restriction right from the start, perhaps I wouldn’t have been able to stop you.

But you are too afraid to die, only thinking of self-destructing as my flames are about to refine you to death.

Do you truly think my power is just for show? Die!”

As he spoke, the numerous white flames that had penetrated the depths of the gourd lunged towards the Plague Elder’s True Spirit.

“No!!!”

The already weakened True Spirit of the Plague Elder could not withstand the terrifying flames that contained a sliver of Rule Power.

Without even a bit of strength left to resist, he was instantly incinerated, utterly reduced to nothingness.

After refining the Plague Elder’s True Spirit to death, “Yan” immediately spat out the Plague Gourd from its body and withdrew all the flames.

Without the Artifact Spirit’s restraint, the Plague Gourd’s grade had dropped.

Had it not taken back its power, the Spiritual Artifact might have been completely destroyed.

Lu Qing’s figure appeared once again in the Spiritual Artifact Space.

“Young Master, this is the Plague Gourd left behind by the Plague Elder.”

“Yan” handed the Plague Gourd to Lu Qing.

Even changing the way it addressed him, no longer calling Lu Qing “boy.”

Lu Qing took the gourd, which was no longer half a person tall, but had shrunk to the size of a palm, small enough to be held in one hand.

“Young Master, there seems to be something peculiar about this gourd. Even my flames couldn’t affect it for a moment. There might be some other mystery to it.”
