"Who stepped on my foot!"
Don't step on me!
A group of monsters were in complete chaos, pushing and shoving as they rushed out. This did not improve efficiency; instead, it made the exit even more congested, and very few monsters managed to get out.
Outside the cave, on the open ground, the Scorpion Demon put down the alchemy furnace and stood guard around it with a steel knife. The Green Snake Demon also arrived. Seeing that the Scorpion Demon's worried expression seemed genuine, she took out a jade hairpin and held it in her palm.
Rumble!
The mountain where the demon cave was located collapsed completely, turning into a pile of ruins. Yellow smoke billowed out, and many small demons who couldn't escape in time were crushed to death, turning into pools of minced meat.

Suddenly, a huge explosion rang out from inside the alchemy furnace, as if something had been burned to pieces. Each of the seven holes on the lid spewed out thin lines of fire, piercing the boundary between heaven and earth and reaching the highest heavens.
"Your Majesty, what's going on over there!"
Suddenly, the purple toad spirit rushed out, pointed in a direction with its frog paw, and cried out in terror.
The scorpion demon had no doubt about the loyal toad demon who had submitted to her for many years, and quickly turned her head away. However, she did not see that the toad demon had pulled out a seven-colored lotus seedpod from his bosom with lightning speed, and threw it forcefully, which instantly landed on the alchemy furnace.
Seven-colored divine light bloomed, and the seven lotus seeds on the lotus seedpod, corresponding to the seven holes, slowly detached.
Snap!
A giant spiked club flew by and knocked the seven-colored lotus seedpod away. The club changed shape several times in the air before returning to the form of a jade hairpin and flying into the hands of the Green Snake Demon.
"Damn it! How dare they ruin my plans!"
The purple toad demon was no longer the cowardly and timid creature it once was. Its face was contorted like a demon, and its eyes gleamed with dark light. It was cleaved in two by the enraged scorpion demon.
"Heh, this ungrateful and despicable wretch! I trusted him so much!"
The scorpion demon stared wide-eyed, realizing that if the green snake demon hadn't intervened, he would have been tricked and the Seven Hearts Pill would have been useless.
"It's finally over!"
The Green Snake Spirit breathed a sigh of relief, adorned her head with the jade hairpin in her hand, and caught a glimpse of a dark shadow out of the corner of her eye. A bad premonition welled up in her heart.
But it was too late. The shadow came to the edge of the alchemy furnace, transformed into a black-clad warrior, and poured the seven-colored lotus pods onto the furnace lid. The seven colorful lotus seeds rolled back in through the holes.
"Despicable scoundrel!"
The shadow warrior was shattered by the flying steel blade, turning into a black shadow that disappeared underground without a trace. Although the shadow warrior was repelled, it was too late.
The firelight reflected on the scorpion demon's ashen face. Fortunately, the alchemy furnace remained unchanged. The rising fire snakes slowly dissipated, the fire lines that stretched from the sky to the ground gradually shortened, and the flames slowly receded.
Gather!
Remembering what the snake demon had said, the scorpion demon noticed the seven-colored phenomenon that appeared when the elixir was formed, and the flames instantly subsided, but the flames subsided somewhat slowly at this moment.
Bang bang bang bang!

First, a violent impact sound came from inside the alchemy furnace. Then, a small hole was punched in the furnace wall, and spiderweb-like cracks spread outward from the hole. With a crisp sound, the furnace exploded completely.
Fire from the furnace poured down onto the earth, igniting everything flammable, and eventually even the soil began to burn.
The scorpion demon and the green snake demon realized something was wrong early on, so they quickly retreated to a distance to avoid the scorching fire. Then the snake demon took out her Ruyi and summoned a cold wind and a flood. Although the quality was not as good as the fire, the quantity was much greater, and they slowly extinguished the flames.
Moisture filled the wilderness, creating a scene resembling a fairyland. A strong wind blew away the moisture, and the view before everyone gradually cleared, revealing the charred earth. The alchemy furnace had shattered into countless fragments, and in the largest fragment that remained in place, a pill shimmering with seven colors of light lay quietly. The seven colors of light slowly merged together, emitting an alluring fragrance.
"It's mine!"
The scorpion demon stepped forward, preparing to pick up the Seven Hearts Pill, when the earth began to tremble violently, and suddenly a wall of earth rose up, blocking his path.
At the same time, dozens of cracks appeared on the earth, slowly splitting it apart, leaving only a small area where the Seven Heart Pills were located.
"Mountain God!"

The scorpion demon roared, its eyes turning bloodshot as it lashed out with its tail hook, shattering the tall stone wall blocking its path. It then transformed into its original form, a gigantic scorpion tens of meters long, which charged around like a terrifying armored vehicle.
Bang bang bang!
The stone wall cracked, and countless pebbles flew everywhere. Although the crack was nearly a meter wide, revealing an endless, dark abyss, it did nothing to stop the greedy and furious scorpion demon.
A demonic wind arose, and the scorpion demon arrived directly in front of the fragments of the alchemy furnace. The pills, which had originally been separated by seven colors, had now completely merged together, gathering all their light and becoming a single white pill.
The scorpion demon reverted to its original form, picked up the white pill with its large, sandbag-sized hand, and then transformed into a whirlwind to fly back.
Knock knock knock!
A muffled thud quickly followed, and the white pill in the scorpion demon's hand grew hotter and hotter. Finally, accompanied by a thunderous boom, it exploded with a loud "crack," and a huge amount of energy swept across a radius of a hundred meters. A dazzling white light slowly spread outward, enveloping the scorpion demon within it.
"Your Majesty!"
The snake spirit screamed at the top of her lungs, only then realizing that all the treasures were not as important as the scorpion spirit, but the green snake spirit held her tightly.
The white light slowly dissipated, revealing the appearance of a young man dressed in white. Apart from a white gourd on his head, he bore no resemblance to the character in the animation.
The man in white had an indifferent expression, with a small dark gourd hanging from his chest. His eyes were closed, while the scorpion demon lay unconscious at his feet, both of her hands broken and lying on the ground, dark green blood flowing continuously from the gaps.
