In a hidden ruin somewhere in the Jia Ma Empire on the Dou Qi Continent.
Gu He, who had just advanced to a sixth-grade alchemist, was overjoyed.
Not only had he recently become the Jia Ma Empire's number one alchemist, but he had also obtained a treasure map left by his predecessors. Following the map, he found this place. Not only did he obtain a large quantity of precious and rare medicinal herbs, but he also acquired a seventh-grade pill, unique in the entire Jia Ma Empire: the Transformation Pill. This pill could completely shed a beast's body, granting it the long lifespan of a beast and the cultivation talent of a human.
"This is... a Transformation Pill! Haha, I never expected the heavens to be so kind to me, Gu He, allowing me to obtain a seventh-grade Transformation Pill."
Pouring the Transformation Pill from its valuable jade container, a unique fragrance immediately filled the surroundings.
Gu He brought it to his nose and smelled it, even though he was human, not a beast. After smelling the Transformation Pill, Gu He felt much more comfortable. "Hmm! Truly worthy of being a seventh-grade pill! It's extraordinary."
Just as Gu He was about to put the Transformation Pill back into the jade container, something happened that shocked and enraged him.
The Transformation Pill vanished from his hand into thin air! This was a Transformation Pill! A seventh-grade Transformation Pill that he couldn't buy even with his entire fortune!
"Who? Who stole my Transformation Pill? Who is it? Get out here! If I find out, I'll make sure you die! I'll make sure you die!" Gu He roared.
Gu He was a sixth-grade alchemist with extremely powerful soul power. Unless someone's cultivation or soul realm surpassed his, it was impossible for them to escape his perception.
Of course, there were also secret techniques that could shield soul power, which was why Gu He was so angry. Because a Dou Zun wouldn't care about a Transformation Pill, a Dou Zong or Dou Huang would forcibly take it. So now there was only one possibility: a villain had used a secret technique to steal his Transformation Pill.
Thinking of this, Gu He radiated his soul power and began a thorough search of
the ruins. There was a lake nearby.
The space above the lake distorted. A young man dressed in black, with long blue-silver hair, fell from the distorted space. He was Zu Zong, who had been forced to teleport to the Dou Qi Continent due to a failed theft attempt.
"Damn it, at least choose a normal landing spot!" Seeing that he had landed on the lake, Zu Zong instantly attached his soul power to his feet. After contacting the lake's surface, his body did not sink, but merely created a few ripples before he firmly adhered to the surface.
Wiping non-existent sweat from his forehead, Zu Zong sighed, "Finally, I've landed safely."
Suddenly, a dark shadow flew past Zu Zong. It was Gu He, who had run out of the ruins to search for the pill thief.
Zu Zong looked up and saw that Gu He was also looking over. Through the bright moonlight, their eyes met.
Zu zong sensed something was wrong. "Damn it! Safe my foot! We've run into the culprit right away."
The initial eye contact was fine, but the moment they met, Gu He's anger flared. Although he didn't recognize the other person, his intuition told him that the thief was this seemingly harmless blue-haired youth before him.
"You little thief, hand over my Transformation Pill, and I'll spare your corpse," Gu He said, looking down at him.
Facing Gu He, a Dou Wang (Battle King) cultivator, Zu Zong was no match for him. But at this point, Zu Zong couldn't care less. There was only one way to break this certain death trap: "System, prepare for teleportation."
[Ding, because Doupo Cangqiong connects to Da Zhuzai (The Great Ruler), which is a high-level world, the host will spend 20,000 Hatred Points to teleport. Please indicate the teleportation location!]
Seeing that Zu Zong remained unmoved by his question, Gu He could no longer suppress his anger. Thinking to himself, "I am a dignified Pill King, and you, a mere brat, not only suspect me of stealing my Transformation Pill, but you dare to ignore me? Clearly, you have a guilty conscience."
"You're courting death!"
With that cry, Gu He clenched his right fist, gathering his battle qi in his palm. Fire-attribute battle qi scorched around his fist, and the fireball rapidly expanded, hurtling towards the clan leader.
Seeing the fireball hurtling towards him, with its speed and power, Gu He thought, "Damn, I'm in a bind. Whatever, as long as I'm safe."

[Ding, 20,000 Hatred Points deducted from the host, 4,501 Hatred Points remaining. System is randomly teleporting.] A
fireball
exploded into the lake, creating a giant wave tens of meters high.
At the critical moment, the zu zong successfully teleported. Of course, this scene was also detected by Gu He's keen soul power.
Seeing the other party disappear right under his nose, Gu He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he roared, "You little thief, I won't let you go! Even if you escape to the ends of the earth, I won't let you go!"
Space distorted again, and the zu zong was teleported to a new location on the Dou Qi Continent.
"Hmm? Why is it so dark? Where am I?"
Sniffing,
"It smells pretty good. Is it a girl's room?"
As he spoke, the zu zong began to grope around.
"Hmm, what's that under my butt? It's soft, but a bit flat, it feels uncomfortable! But this damned stinky hand, why can't it stop!"
Just as the zu zong was getting into it, a girl's voice came from beneath him.
"Big brother, can you get off me? Xun'er is so uncomfortable being pressed down by you."
Good heavens! Upon hearing the voice claiming to be Xun'er, and now that he was sitting on her, Zu Zong was greatly surprised and jumped off the bed.
Who was Xun'er? Zu Zong, familiar with Doupo Cangqiong, would certainly recognize her—the number one rich and beautiful woman, the number one female protagonist, and also the number one female simp for Xiaoyanyao.
Of course, if she were simping on someone from our clan, that would be quite pleasant.
"If I'm in Xun'er's room right now, then Ling Ying must be outside," Zu Zong thought, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead and back. He clearly remembered using the 20,000 hatred points he had just acquired to escape Gu He's clutches. There was still more than half an hour before returning to Douluo Continent. If Ling Ying rushed in now, he would be finished.
"I'm going to die, I'm going to die! What should I do? Am I, the dignified overpowered king, going to perish here?"
Xun'er, seeing Zu Zong jump off the bed, looked around anxiously. She got up and observed the other person through the moonlight. She was very curious about this mysterious boy who had suddenly appeared in her room and was even more interested in her (Xun'er blushes: Don't look at what you shouldn't see). Of course, if the other person had any ill intentions, Ling Ying outside the door would immediately rush in and kill him on the spot.
Looking up from below, the boy was not tall. He was wearing a peculiar black outfit, the kind of clothing she had never seen before. This added to her curiosity. Looking further up, she saw beautiful long blue-silver hair, beneath which was a fair face with distinct features but also a somewhat childlike appearance, indicating that the other person was not very old. His face was anxious, sometimes scratching his ear and sometimes his cheek, which looked quite comical to Xun'er.
With a soft "pfft," Xun'er couldn't help but laugh. "Hehe! Big brother, you still haven't told Xun'er what you came to Xun'er's room for!"
Xun'er's laughter was very sweet, but in the zu zong's eyes, it contained a hidden murderous intent. He couldn't help but think to himself, "It seems that if I don't answer to him satisfies him today, I'll probably be done for."
Clearing his throat, the clan leader replied, "Ahem, I'm here to catch a flower thief!"
