Listening to Li Moxun's questioning tone, Gu Yue gave him a deep look.
Looking at the boy's calm face, and the purity in his eyes, Gu Yue fell silent for a second, then nodded calmly.
"You refined this pill. Since you understand it better, I won't look for anyone else to protect me."
"Just stay here. I'm going to use this pill now."
Gu Yue's voice was very soft. After she spoke, she sat down cross-legged, a hint of seriousness on her ordinary face.
As her eyes closed tightly and the pill entered her stomach, a cool, mint-like sensation spread through her.
Gu Yue only felt her mind sharpen, the strange feeling that had been in her eyes vanished, and then the original muddled sensation began to fade.
Li Moxun glanced at Gu Yue, his expression unchanged. He raised his hand and threw countless spirit herbs into it, then continued refining medicine. This time, what he refined was the kind of pill that enhanced cultivation.
This kind of pill was very easy to refine. Any usable thousand-year spirit herb could be used to refine it.
As for quality, Li Moxun did not care. As long as there were few enough impurities, it was fine.
Of course, even if there were more impurities, it did not matter. He could likewise use his spiritual power to forcibly cleanse the impurities from his own bloodline.
And as Li Moxun refined pills on this side, Gu Yue sat cross-legged on the other side. For a time, the atmosphere between the two of them was somewhat strange.
This state continued for a long time. Li Moxun did not concern himself with what was happening outside. He also did not care whether he took part in tonight's practical combat training.
So even though he sensed that time was passing very quickly, he did not remind Gu Yue.
On the other side, Gu Yue had devoted herself entirely to the problems within her own body.
She felt the sluggishness in herself begin to disappear. Her thoughts gradually became clear and active, the confusion in her eyes also slowly dissipated, and her expression grew increasingly calm.
This feeling lasted for a long time. Only when it had completely dissipated did she open her eyes again.
At this moment, there was no longer the slightest trace of confusion in the girl's eyes. There was only calm.
Her eyes lowered slightly in thought, then she calmly stood up and raised her hand, tapping several points on her body in succession.
Sensing the aura belonging to the Silver Dragon King within her body begin to be rapidly suppressed, Gu Yue finally let out a long breath.
However, at this moment, her brows had already knitted tightly together, and her gaze darkened to the extreme in an instant.
On the other side, seeing Gu Yue stand up and sensing Gu Yue's aura, Li Moxun still did not move.
He had been sitting there the whole time. As his palm drew out even stronger flames within the furnace fire, the extreme cold power of the Titan Snow Demon King descended, and this kind of pill was completely cooled in a short time.
As twenty-five pills that could promote cultivation appeared in his palm, Gu Yue was somewhat surprised as she looked at these pills and sensed the medicinal fragrance within them.
"Your pill-refining technique is quite impressive. This whole pile of all kinds of pills are actually all of top-grade attributes."
"The pill poison inside them should be very little, and the effect on the body should also be reduced to the minimum."
As Gu Yue spoke, a look of keen interest appeared on her face.
One had to know that this kind of top-grade pill was extremely difficult to refine. Even among the four great organizations she knew of, there was no one who could refine such pills.
However, facing Gu Yue's slightly curious gaze, Li Moxun merely swept a calm glance over her.
He stood up and put the pills away into his hand. After that, his gaze quietly looked at Gu Yue.
"Have you recovered?"
"If you haven't recovered, I can refine one more pill for you with the remaining ingredients."
"Not completely, but I already know where the problem is."
"It's because of the influence Tang Wulin's bloodline has on my body. The bloodline connection between the two of us... He naturally has goodwill toward me because of his Golden Dragon King bloodline."
"But I naturally develop love for him because I possess the complete Silver Dragon King bloodline."
As Gu Yue spoke, she also let out a soft sigh.
Dragons had always had heavy needs in this regard to begin with, and on top of that, their bloodlines shared the same origin. Just meeting or sensing the other party's bloodline gave them the feeling of facing the person who understood them best.
Under these circumstances, it was simply impossible for Gu Yue to make a move.
And if Gu Yue at this stage could still maintain a certain degree of rationality, then the further things went, aside from the deepening influence of the bloodline, the deeper Gu Yue's feelings for Tang Wulin became, the greater the influence between the two of them would be.
However, because of Li Moxun's appearance at this time, Gu Yue's ending had instead been forcibly changed, preventing her from being completely influenced by her bloodline as she had been in the original timeline.
And toward the clear-headed Gu Yue at this moment, Li Moxun did not speak. Instead, a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.
After all, compared to the love-addled Gu Yue, the one whose intelligence was online at this stage was far harder to deal with.
So he only gave a soft "Mm," and did not continue speaking. Instead, he tilted his head slightly, signaling Gu Yue to open the door.
Seeing that Li Moxun was completely unconcerned about her affairs, Gu Yue's purple eyes quietly looked at Li Moxun.
It was only at this moment that she truly developed a trace of interest in Li Moxun.
It was impossible for the other party not to see that there was something unusual about her, yet throughout the entire process, he had simply not cared. He had even kept as much distance from her as he possibly could.
Although she did not know why she had become trouble in the other party's eyes, Gu Yue did not say anything.
As the cave entrance opened, Gu Yue walked over there. Her gaze glanced at Li Moxun, paused for a second, and in the end, she still opened her mouth and said:
"I can't directly strip the Golden Dragon King bloodline from Tang Wulin's body, nor can I strip it away all at once. I can only strip it away part by part."
"And if I do that, there's a high chance I'll need this kind of pill more than once, so I hope you can refine them for me long-term."
"Of course, if possible, you can also give me some of those pills you use for cultivation."
Gu Yue said it very calmly, but after meeting Li Moxun's "are you insane?" expression, even she nearly lost her composure for once. She glared at Li Moxun and continued, "I'm not taking advantage of you for nothing. We soul beasts still have thousand-year spirit herbs and even some ten-thousand-year spirit herbs. I can even obtain them through certain special means. When the time comes, I can give them all to you."
"What you gain will definitely far exceed what you pay. And in the future, if the soul beasts really do succeed, I can promise to spare your life."
As Gu Yue spoke, she gave Li Moxun a faint smile.
Only now did the girl's face truly carry a trace of the dominance that belonged to the lord of soul beasts.
But Li Moxun did not care about that. This was an age without gods. So what if Gu Yue's former complete self, the Silver Dragon King, had been at the God King level?
The current Gu Yue had been badly injured and was cultivating anew. In essence, she was not much different from an ordinary person.
As for those powerful soul beasts, even the strongest among them, Di Tian, was only at the demigod level.
Under these circumstances, as long as he grew strong, it was still hard to say who would defeat whom in the end—or rather, who would enslave whom.
So Li Moxun merely nodded at this. Then he raised his hand, and two bottles flew out, which he tossed straight to Gu Yue.
"There are twenty pills inside. Each one was refined from a mixture of hundred-year spirit herbs and thousand-year spirit herbs."
"With these pills, your soul power level can rise significantly in a short time, and the medicinal power within them should also have an effect on you dragons."
