Refining Pills Was Exhausting for Others, but Relaxing and Comfortable for Li Fei

The moment he entered the cave dwelling, he smelled the fragrance of tea.

The cave dwelling was clean and tidy, with an excellent layout and decor.

It was clear that Dugu Bo was quite fond of this secret base.

"Little Monster, come have some tea." Dugu Bo smiled as he invited him.

He had already pushed a cup of tea over to Li Fei.

Li Fei sat down, took a sip, and sighed. "Fine tea."

"I'll be staying here for a while. Please go back to Shrek Academy and let them know. I'll return after I finish refining the Pills," Li Fei said.

"That's no problem. I can bring Yanyan over to meet you as well. The two of you can get acquainted and build a foundation for your relationship."

"Little Monster, this old man thinks highly of you."

Dugu Bo nodded. This was not difficult for him at all.

"Alright." Li Fei nodded.

The two chatted for a while.

After finishing their tea,

Li Fei found a room and entered work mode.

Dugu Bo, meanwhile, left the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to deliver the message, and incidentally bring his precious granddaughter over.

Inside the room, refining Pills was truly effortless for Li Fei.

He already had a clear grasp of the pill formulas in his mind, as well as how to refine or combine Immortal Herbs to bring out their effects one hundred percent.

He circulated the Eastern Azure Dragon Art and condensed a ball of azure high-energy power.

Then he tossed the Jade Scale Seven-Absolute Flower into it, intending to try refining it on its own first before combining it with other herbs.

He wanted to see which method produced the more potent Pill.

In any case, he possessed Growth Force and had an inexhaustible supply of Immortal Herbs, so he was not afraid of wasting them.

This ball of energy could basically run on autopilot. He did not need to do much else; the tyrannical wood-attribute energy would crush the Jade Scale Seven-Absolute Flower and refine it into a Pill.

Thus, that sphere of energy entered an idle state.

He continued by condensing a second ball of Wood Energy, placing the prepared Jade Scale Seven-Absolute Flower and the other Immortal Herbs inside.

Following the same steps, he condensed a third, fourth, fifth, and even more balls of Wood Energy, placing all sorts of Immortal Herbs inside to begin refining them.

"If Old Poison wants to reach Level 98, the prerequisite is a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. But Old Poison's Soul Rings are already complete, so that's troublesome. Unless his current Soul Rings can be shattered and absorbed anew."

"The Clear Sky Sect's Ring Detonation has a similar principle, but the shattered Soul Rings can ultimately be restored. That isn't what I need. If I could obtain the secret art of Ring Detonation, perhaps I could deduce a method to remove Soul Rings."

Inside the room, countless balls of Wood Energy floated in midair, surrounding Li Fei as he sat cross-legged.

Li Fei closed his eyes in thought, exploring the Human Body Secret Treasury and studying the various extraordinary meridians, acupuncture points, and the flow of energy through them.

He wanted to approach the problem from this direction and see whether he could find a way to remove Soul Rings.

And so, time passed bit by bit.

The Immortal Herbs inside each ball of Wood Energy had already transformed into Pills.

This meant the pills had been formed!

But he was in no hurry to take them out. Instead, he let them continue absorbing more Wood Energy within the spheres, strengthening their medicinal potency and improving their effects.

Nurturing pills was also an extremely important process.

After returning to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Yan still felt heavy-hearted because of her grandfather's words.

Although having her poison cured was a joyous occasion, was her relationship with Yu Tianheng truly just as her grandfather had said—was he only good to her in order to win over her grandfather?

And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was especially exclusionary.

If her family lost the protection of her Title Douluo grandfather, would the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan still acknowledge her Flood Dragon Martial Soul, which was neither snake nor dragon?

"That's right. My Martial Soul has mutated. I'll see how Tianheng reacts. Perhaps it isn't as terrible as Grandfather said."

Dugu Yan thought to herself as she headed toward the Mimicry Training Room.

Yet what she failed to realize was that the moment she entertained the thought of testing him, she had already ceased to trust Yu Tianheng. Once a person began to harbor suspicion toward another, that was the beginning of a crack.

"Yanyan, you're finally back! Come train with us!" Inside the Mimicry Training Room, Yu Tianheng froze for a moment when he saw Dugu Yan. Then he revealed a faint smile and walked over.

"Sister Yan!" The others also took the initiative to greet Dugu Yan.

That was because, aside from Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan was the highest-ranking member of their team and also the strongest. Furthermore, she had a Title Douluo grandfather standing behind her.

With such status and background as support, no one dared underestimate her.

After all, everyone had heard that Dugu Bo was temperamental and unpredictable.

"Alright, let's train together." Dugu Yan smiled faintly. Seeing everyone's reaction, as well as Yu Tianheng's reaction, she felt that perhaps things were not as frightening as her grandfather had said.

So she took the initiative to summon her Jade Scale Flood Dragon!

The instant this Martial Soul appeared, her aura immediately became much stronger.

When everyone saw her Martial Soul, they were stunned at first before expressions of surprise appeared on their faces.

They thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Why do I feel like Sister Yanyan's Martial Soul has changed?"

"Yeah, it doesn't seem to be a snake anymore?"

"What is that? Could it be a dragon?"

Everyone began speculating.

"No, it's a Flood Dragon. Last night, my Martial Soul mutated. It changed from a Jade Scale Snake into a Jade Scale Flood Dragon. It was a beneficial mutation."

"I'm stronger than before!"

Dugu Yan lifted the corners of her lips and introduced it.

"A Flood Dragon?!"

Everyone was startled. "Her Martial Soul mutated after birth!"

"It actually mutated into a Flood Dragon."

Yu Tianheng's eyes also held surprise, but when he looked closely at the Jade Scale Flood Dragon, a trace of exclusionary disgust surfaced deep within his gaze.

His Martial Soul was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, a dragon Martial Soul, while hers had originally been a snake. By all normal logic, he would never have allowed her to reach above her station. But because Dugu Yan had a Title Douluo behind her, he had to draw her into his camp if he wanted to secure his future position as clan leader.

That was why he had forced himself to become Dugu Yan's lover.

In truth, he had always been highly exclusionary and disgusted by Dugu Yan's snake, even instinctively looking down on it.

But he had concealed it well and never revealed it on the surface.

Once he had completely secured his position as clan leader, Dugu Yan's help to him would become insignificant.

After Dugu Bo died, he would be even less likely to spare her a glance. He would cast her aside and find another woman whose Martial Soul was also a dragon.

However, what he did not know was that Dugu Yan had failed to notice before only because she had not known. But after her grandfather's reminder this time, she had been constantly watching Yu Tianheng's expressions and changes in his eyes.

The instant she saw that trace of exclusionary disgust and contempt in Yu Tianheng's eyes, the pure love in her heart shattered at once.

That was the look of disgust and contempt. No... he was disgusted by me. He looked down on me.

Dugu Yan was shocked, but she was also deeply heartbroken.

In an instant, every belief she had held collapsed.

He really was just as Grandfather said. He had been using me all along.

She wanted to cry, wanted tears to fall, but she quickly held them back.

Slap!

"Yu Tianheng, let's break up!"

She raised her hand and slapped Yu Tianheng across the face before turning and running away.

Her tears finally streamed down.

Everything happened too suddenly, and everyone was dumbfounded.

Yu Tianheng himself was also dumbfounded.

"No, what's going on?"

"Yanyan, what the hell is wrong with you?"

Although Yu Tianheng did not understand why she had acted this way, he still chased after her immediately.
