Ruyi Pill
A streak of light flashed past, Yue Qianchou returned directly to the courtyard he hadn't seen for many days. In fact, the entire trip to the Demon Ghost Domain trial had taken no more than ten days. He used his Divine Sense to check, but Ling Feng and the others were not there; they were probably out working. He returned to his room, closed the door, and vanished without a trace.
When Guan Yu and Chen Feng saw Yue Qianchou appear, they both looked somewhat dejected and called out, "Boss."
Something's not right? Yue Qianchou nodded and smiled, walking over to them. He saw nearly four hundred people gathered in a depression ahead—disciples from various sects he'd brought from the Demon Ghost Domain. Men and women alike sat listlessly on the ground. Their primordial Primordial Spirit had all been stripped away by Bai Suzhen, so their spirits were naturally low.
These two probably saw them and connected it to themselves, feeling a bit like they were in the same boat. Yue Qianchou frowned, turned his head and said lightly, "You two shouldn't overthink it. Don't you know what kind of person Sister Bai is? By the way, Chen Feng, is the spirit herb I asked you to plant ready?"
"Alright," Chen Feng replied.
"I need to refine a batch of pills. Bring me three portions," Yue Qianchou nodded. After Chen Feng took the order and left, Yue Qianchou looked at the disciples from various sects before him, stroking his chin as he began to ponder.
Not long after, Chen Feng brought the spirit herb and handed it to him. Yue Qianchou's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them. He remained silent for a long time, making the two of them a little uneasy. Finally, he said with a very serious expression, "There are some important things that I need to entrust to you two. I have actually thought about this matter for a long time and have been very worried. What am I worried about? I am worried about whether you two can handle it. Why am I worried? Because you two are brothers that I can trust."
After saying this, all three fell silent. A moment later, Guan Yu and Chen Feng exchanged glances, and Chen Feng said excitedly, "Boss, just tell us what's on your mind, and we'll do our best to help."
Yue Qianchou patted his shoulder with relief and said, "This is a matter of great importance, and it truly concerns our future. Forget it, let's not talk about it now. I'll try out a batch of pills first, and then I'll have a proper talk with you two when I get back."
The two were left with strange feelings. Yue Qianchou teleported directly into the deep valley. The misty array parted to make way for him, and closed again after he entered. It was Bai Suzhen who was controlling it from inside. Ever since she acquired a bunch of these things, Bai Suzhen had hardly ever left, always guarding the 'Youtan Poluo Flower', afraid that it would be stolen.
Looking at the enormous pile of shimmering purple, supreme-grade Spirit Stones before him, Yue Qianchou couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. This was his entire fortune. He grabbed a handful and scattered them—this was money!
"Sister, let's begin!" Yue Qianchou said to Bai Suzhen after they had enjoyed themselves. The latter nodded, a blush rising on her usually quiet face, clearly excited. For a woman, eternal youth is an irresistible temptation.
Yue Qianchou climbed onto the Hei Da and stared intently at the 'Youtan Poluo Flower,' a sight he hadn't truly examined closely since discovering it and bringing it here. Legend says it only grows a single thread every thousand years, but upon closer inspection, it had nearly two hundred threads. Wouldn't this 'Youtan Poluo Flower' have grown for almost two hundred thousand years?
This is really a bit difficult to handle. Nearly two hundred thousand years! What does that even mean?! What a sin! Yue Qianchou murmured, "Forgive me, forgive me," and gently plucked three strands with his fingers. After jumping down, he waved the white, fluffy threads he was holding at Bai Suzhen and said with a wry smile, "Such a small amount, three thousand years!"
Bai Suzhen nodded, then suddenly asked in confusion, "Are three enough? Should we pluck a few more?"
"That's enough, that's enough." Yue Qianchou hurriedly waved his hand and said, "One herb is enough for one dose of spiritual herbs. Sister, don't underestimate this little thing! It's a rare and heavenly materials and earthly treasures that takes a thousand years to grow! Using too much in pills is bad for people, one herb is just right."
After leaving the main formation, the two entered a small cave deep underground. The temperature gradually rose, and they could vaguely see the rolling, red-hot lava ahead. They turned into a newly opened stone chamber, where flames surged, and a raging fire erupted from a central cavern. Bai Suzhen swept her sleeve, and a nearby Pill Furnace flew up, perfectly suppressing the flames.
The stone chamber suddenly became much darker. Yue Qianchou took out the Pill Formula tablet of pill formulas, found the 'Ruyi Pill' among the top-grade pills, and repeatedly recited and compared the Pill Formula he had memorized. He also practiced it in his mind several times to make sure it was foolproof. The Pill Furnace was almost ready for preheating.
The furnace lid was opened, and a wisp of 'Youtan Poluo Flower' along with several spiritual herbs was thrown in. Yue Qianchou immediately sealed the top of the furnace and focused on refining. Suddenly, he discovered a wisp of Divine Sense attached to the furnace wall. Needless to say, it must be Bai Suzhen's. There was no one else here.
Before long, the various spiritual herbs were refined into crystal-clear liquids of different colors. When the wisp of 'Youtan Poluo Flower' was refined, it instantly turned into a tiny drop of radiant spiritual liquid. heavenly materials and earthly treasures are indeed heavenly materials and earthly treasures; they are far superior to ordinary spiritual herbs.
Yue Qianchou steadied his mind, his heart becoming as still as water. Divine Sense currents, carrying various spiritual liquids, to begin a dazzling performance. Light and shadow crisscrossed, separating and merging, creating a dreamlike spectacle that captivated Bai Suzhen. Although she wasn't an expert in alchemy, she had spent many years in the Cultivation World and knew a little about it. She had never seen such an imaginative and unconventional refining technique before; it was simply unbelievable.
Only after the performance inside the furnace ended and the pills were baked after taking shape did Bai Suzhen leisurely withdraw that wisp of Divine Sense. Her bright eyes looked at Yue Qianchou, who was breathing heavily with his eyes closed, and a trace of infatuation flashed across her face.
"Sister, catch the pill." Yue Qianchou cleaved open the furnace lid with a palm strike, and in an instant, ten rays of light shot out of the Pill Furnace. Bai Suzhen, regaining her senses, spread her slender palm, and the ten rays of light drew a graceful arc in the air before gathering in her palm.
Yue Qianchou ran over with a grin, but was immediately stunned when he saw the dazzling light in Bai Suzhen's palm. He picked one up from her hand and was astonished. The 'Ruyi Pill' between her fingers was almost invisible, shrouded in a halo, unlike any he had ever seen before. It shone with a seven-colored glow, so bright it could probably illuminate the dark.
Bai Suzhen covered her mouth in surprise, while Yue Qianchou laughed foolishly, "Sister, it should be finished, right?" The former nodded vigorously. If this doesn't count as finished, then how can it be considered finished?
Although the Pill Formula formulary did not record this phenomenon after the pills were completed, anyone could see that this batch of pills had been refined quite successfully. Yue Qianchou had little experience with this situation and attributed it to the miraculous effects of the 'Youtan Poluo Flower'. Little did he know that the alchemy technique he had unintentionally invented was already fully qualified to establish a school of its own. It was truly a stroke of luck, yet he himself was completely oblivious to it.
He pressed on, and two more batches of perfectly refined pills emerged. Yue Qianchou saw nothing strange about this; he had never produced a failed pill before. If the ancient Pill Sect from thousands of years ago knew this, they would likely be utterly ashamed.
