Wait Until I Break Through to Golden Core, and I'll Marry You

Although the Foundation Establishment Pill is only Second-Rank Low-Grade Pills, its refining difficulty even exceeds that of some Second-Tier Upper-Grade Pills.

This is one of the reasons why Foundation Establishment Lineage generally have to purchase their Foundation Establishment Pills from major powers. There's no other way; even if you have enough materials, what can you do if you can't refine them yourself?

Of course, with Yunhua's Alchemy skills, Foundation Establishment Pills were a piece of cake.

As the furnace was set up for Alchemy, Yang Tianyou sent three Life-Origin Fruits into Pill Furnace. Yunhua concentrated intently, her slender and beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her jade-like hands constantly forming hand Mudra.

The Six-Yin True Fire and the Flaming Blaze True Fire intertwined, causing the Life-Origin Fruit to crack open. Incomparably rich life force flowed within the Pill Furnace, and then, under the influence of some force, it swirled and condensed into a ball of emerald green Spirit Liquid.

The Spirit Liquid swirled and rippled slowly, and strands of impurities were refined out, falling into the True Fire below and being burned to ashes.

Half an hour later, after seeing that the purity of the Spirit Liquid was sufficient, without Yunhua having to speak, Yang Tianyou waved his sleeve, and a long line of spirit medicine herbs were sent to the Pill Furnace.

The raging True Fire raged in the Pill Furnace. Two hours later, three Foundation Establishment Spirit Pills emitting a pale blue halo flew out and were sealed by Yang Tianyou in a jade bottle that had been prepared beforehand.

The first attempt to refine Foundation Establishment Pills resulted in three perfectly formed pills.

Seeing this, Yunhua seemed to feel much better. Without taking a moment to adjust his breathing, he began to circulate the Yin-Yang Spirit-Tempering Method again.

The Alchemy continued, and a day later, thirteen Foundation Establishment Pills were placed before him, causing Yang Tianyou's breathing to quicken.

Thirteen Foundation Establishment Pills —even at their worst, that should be enough for Lineage to cultivate seven or eight Foundation Establishment, right?

After a moment of contemplation, Yang Tianyou put away the Foundation Establishment Pill, stood up, went to Yunhua's side, took out a handkerchief, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Take a break, don't push yourself too hard."

"Okay!" Yunhua nodded obediently, smiled, and closed her eyes to regulate her breathing.

Refining Pills is no easy task, especially for someone like Yunhua who has been refining them for two consecutive days, which puts a lot of pressure on her meridians.

It's important to know that she controls Third Tier Pill Furnace and Third Tier Formation; otherwise, how could she have refined a batch of Tier 2 Pills in just one or two hours?

What are you thinking? If Liu Changsheng were to refine these Pills, it would take ten times longer.

The speed at which Third Tier True Fire can refine Spirit Liquid is incomparable to that of Tier 2 True Fire.

Three hours later, Yunhua, having finished her meditation, slowly opened her eyes, smiled slightly at Yang Tianyou beside her, and softly said, "Let's continue!"

Yang Tianyou nodded, then flipped his right hand and took out a lotus flower that was entirely blood red, about the size of a palm, with faint blue patterns on its surface.

Whew!~

Flames soared into the sky, black and blue intertwined with crimson, and the Blood Jade Lotus slowly rotated in the very center of the Yin-Yang Grinding Disc. With each rotation, some impurities were refined away.

After eighty-one repetitions, the Blood Jade Lotus had become incredibly translucent. Within its crimson petals, wisps of blood permeated the air, giving it a unique vitality and charm.

Seeing that the time was right, Yang Tianyou arranged the auxiliary ingredients according to their medicinal properties and put them into the Pill Furnace.

Hundreds of spirit medicine floated slowly Outer Periphery the Blood Jade Lotus, gradually forming three concentric circles.

An hour later, the spirit medicine in the innermost circle had been refined into a liquid state.

Upon seeing this, Yunhua changed her Mudra, and the Spirit Liquid, like a black dragon entering the sea, instantly disappeared into the center of the Blood Jade Lotus Throne, transforming into a lotus seed.

And so on, every hour, a long dragon of Spirit Liquid would enter the central Lotus Throne of the Blood Jade Lotus.

Three hours later, the Blood Jade Lotus with three lotus seeds sprouted from its center, slowly closing its petals, as if returning to its initial bud form, which was quite strange.

The Blood Jade Lotus in its bud stage contains lotus seeds made from Spirit Liquid refined from hundreds of spirit medicine.

Then, under the tempering of two kinds of Third Tier True Fire, the two quickly began to fuse.

As the Blood Jade Lotus rotated its body, colorful patterns appeared on its surface. When these colorful patterns filled the entire lotus, the Blood Jade Lotus, which was originally the size of a palm, had grown to the size of an infant's fist, and was constantly changing between solid and liquid states.

"Point!"

When the time was almost right, Yunhua gave a low shout, Blood Jade Lotus instantly split into four.

Puff!

However, one of the lotus flowers instantly turned to ashes, leaving only three lotus flowers struggling to withstand the scorching heat of the True Fire.

Yunhua was unaffected by the destruction of the lotus. Her expression was calm and composed as she continuously formed Mudra with her delicate hands, and the speed of her movements increased.

Finally, half an hour later, as the flames suddenly intensified, three seven-colored Spirit Pill flew out of the Pill Furnace.

These Spirit Pill seemed to possess a spirit, swirling and dancing in the air, refusing to fall.

Yang Tianyou watched this scene with curiosity. In his understanding, only Pills of the Third Tier or higher could produce such a result.

Seeing this, Yunhua chuckled and explained, "The Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill is already considered a top- Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Pills, so it's normal for it to condense some spiritual energy."

"I see. If even Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Pills possess such spirituality, what about eighth- and ninth-tier Pills, and even immortal pills?"

"Unbelievable! Could it be that they were born with the Wisdom of a normal person?" Yang Tianyou put away the three Spirit Pills and said with great emotion.

Yunhua nodded upon hearing this. "You're right. Once Pills reaches the Seventh Tier, it has the potential to transform into a living being. If it survives nine Tribulation Lightning, it can become a legendary Pill Spirit, whose aptitude is no weaker than that of Human Race's Innate Sacred Body."

Is that so?

Yang Tianyou clicked his tongue in amazement, feeling that the vast Cultivation World was truly full of wonders.

"With this Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill, your Fifteenth Brother's severed arm will be fully restored."

"It's all thanks to you. Otherwise, if we had asked Liu Changsheng, who knows if he would have been able to refine the Pills successfully."

Yang Tianyou put his arm around Yunhua's slender waist, his words carrying a hint of relief.

Having witnessed Yunhua's Alchemy, he realized that the difficulty in refining the Blood Jade Limb-Rejoining Pill far surpassed that of ordinary Second-Tier Upper-Grade Pills.

If Liu Changsheng were to take the lead, the chances of failure would be quite high.

"Are you going back?" Yunhua suddenly asked, leaning against Yang Tianyou's chest.

"..."

Yang Tianyou had no reply and simply nodded.

The main reason he couldn't stay at Crouching Ox Pass for long was the opinion of his clansmen.

As a prominent figure in the Yang Household, it goes without saying that Yang Tianyou's every move affects the hearts of the Yang Household Member.

What would the people of our tribe think if we lived in Crouching Ox Pass for an extended period of time?

Is the Inheritance Elder going to join the Luochuan Sect?

Something bad is going to happen to the Lineage; even the Inheritance Elder are no longer staying in the Lineage.

These ideas weren't just Yang Tianyou's wild guesses; they were very real problems.

However, from Yunhua's perspective, her lover had to leave after only three months by her side.

And these three months were all for her to Alchemy.

Even if Yang Tianyou didn't think that way, that's exactly what he did.

This is why Yang Tianyou is caught in a dilemma; his guilt towards Yunhua is the main reason for his psychological state.

"Don't overthink it. I know your heart perfectly well. We have a long future ahead of us. If our love is meant to last, why should we be together every single day?"

Unexpectedly, Yunhua chuckled, tilted her head back, and gently rubbed his cheek, offering comforting words of understanding.

That captivating smile, like a clear, bright moon, instantly illuminated Yang Tianyou's heart.

Holding the beautiful woman's delicate hand, he was speechless with emotion, finally managing to utter only one sentence. "Once I break through to the Golden Core, I will marry you!"

"Okay, I'm waiting for you!"
