I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

widened.

She only caught sight of the alchemy cauldron trembling violently again because of her momentary distraction.
This time, no one could stop it.

Boom!

“Uh…”

Mu Zixi was scorched from head to toe.
She looked at the president, whose clothes were no longer resplendent, and hair was no longer white.

A passing silence loomed over them.

The air was quiet.

…

Many old men in the court looked sideways.

What was going on today?

Was there no end to it?

Every so often, an explosion sounded from the Pill Pagoda.
Was it even capable of withstanding the blows?

“By the way, those candidates in the three rooms were all brought over by President Shi Ti, right?”

“It seems that President Shi Ti’s judgment is declining day by day!”

“Shhh, don’t say anything that shouldn’t be said! I’m curious how there could be explosions one after another, and each louder than the one before.
Wouldn’t it affect alchemists in other rooms?”

“Yeah, perhaps the door isn’t closed.”

As everyone was deep in discussion, Xu Xiaoshou rushed out of the alchemy room where the door had been blown up with an anxious expression on his face.

“Where is Old Man Yun He?”

Everyone stood up in shock as he shouted.

“What’s wrong? What’s wrong with Elder Yun?”

“Didn’t the old man facilitate you for the alchemy examination, yet you’re still asking us?”

“Senior Yun He…”

A faint female voice suddenly spoke, which instantly attracted everyone’s attention.

She blushed and silently pointed in the direction of the stairs.

“Is that him?”

Xu Xiaoshou’s spiritual senses prompted him to look over instantly.

That was an old man with a scorched body and dried blood coated his face.

He was moaning for help.

The short intervals between the three consecutive blasts had attracted everyone’s attention, hence, no one could hear him.

Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback.

At the foot of the staircase…

How did this old guy get there?

An entire court separated the alchemy rooms and stairs.

If he flew this distance over, how could no one have noticed?

Xu Xiaoshou soon discovered a clue.

He closely examined the alchemy room where it all started.
There was a red and black mark on the ceiling from the door panel upward.

The answer was quite obvious now.

Old Man Yun He was sent flying from the impact of the explosion.

His body was too frail to be blown through the ceiling.
Under the suppression of the barrier, he suffered from a bloody injury.

“This…”

“This is rather inconceivable!”

Xu Xiaoshou ran over quickly and helped him up.

The old man was still groaning.
Xu Xiaoshou hurriedly moved closer but could only hear a few words intermittently.

“Snake…”

“Snake?” Xu Xiaoshou was taken aback.
“What snake?”

“Snake, snake puppets…”

“Huh?”

“The technique…” Yun He’s eyes were still blazing hot.
Finally, he uttered the two words he wanted most.

Xu Xiaoshou’s face turned dark.
This man was nearly killed, but he was still thinking about the technique.

He quickly took out some honey to feed him, and the old man’s breath became more stable.

“I told you to stay away, yet you didn’t listen.
Are you satisfied now?”

“Uh!”

The old man could not catch his breath and passed out instantly.

Xu Xiaoshou was speechless.

Voidness State?

How weak!

This old man probably achieved the Voidness State by consuming magic pills.

Everyone was still busy discussing and pointing out their views, though they were clueless about what was going on.

Since when did facilitating alchemists become a life-threatening event?

Some old friends of Yun He came over.
Xu Xiaoshou quickly passed him to them.

The old guys took over with unfriendly faces.
They seemed to want to say something, but when they saw that this lad’s cultivation level was at the mid-state of Origin Court…

Never mind.

What kind of tricks could one pull with a mid-stage Origin Court cultivation?

Alchemy was not even sword practice.
Its destructive force was nowhere on par with that.

They guessed that the lad had no intention of causing an explosion.
Yun He must have fallen into this state to save him.

But…

If he was saving someone, how could he get injured so badly?

Suspected, Passive Points +32.

Sure enough, a thousand words could paint colorful stories.
If one was to summarize the day’s events into a single sentence, it had to be:

The Pill Pagoda was an ominous place today.
