Zi Yan's Discovery

In the blink of an eye, several days had passed. Qin Yu sat quietly in front of the medicine cauldron, his eyes closed, like a statue.

Several clumps of refined medicinal liquid were suspended in the corner of the cauldron, while in the center of the cauldron, Qin Yu was refining the last medicinal herb.

"Isn't this a Seventh-grade Intermediate pill? Why does it seem like it's not that difficult to make?"

Once the refining is complete, the next step is fusion and condensation.

But for some reason, it wasn't as difficult to operate as Qin Yu had imagined.

The medicinal liquid fused very smoothly, and the power of the surrounding world gradually began to become more concentrated.

The sky had unknowingly turned somewhat gloomy, and something seemed to be brewing within the clouds.

"It depends on how you two perform."

With a thought, Qin Yu summoned the Earth Demon Puppet and the Human Demon Puppet that had been guarding him for several days, and they both set off and soared into the sky.

Qin Yu himself, following the movements of the two puppets, increased the flow of power, accelerating the condensation of the pill as much as possible while ensuring the stability of the pill's energy.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through the clouds, followed by a muffled boom.

"The final step!"

Qin Yu didn't check the cloud formation; he was still focused on facilitating the pill's formation. However, the commotion here was bound to attract attention from others.

Especially Xiao Yan, for some reason these past few days, he always seems to be running around here, but thankfully he's never bothered Qin Yu while he's refining medicine.

perhaps...

Is it because you've returned to that familiar place, wanting to reminisce about people you just left?

"Teacher, did you hear anything?"

Today, Xiao Yan still ignored Yao Lao's advice and went alone to the place where he had parted ways with Xun'er.

Yao Chen was already asleep in his Storage Ring and didn't want to complain anymore, but then Xiao Yan said that, and Yao Chen sensed it again.

Hey, guess what?

The omens preceding the fall of Pill Lightning startled the old man so much that he immediately pulled himself out of his Storage Ring!

"Huh? Teacher? Aren't you...?"

"Shut up."

Yao Chen punched Xiao Yan on the head to shut his mouth, then remained silent and darted towards Qin Yu.

Xiao Yan looked up and noticed that the sky in the area in front of him was somewhat different.

He followed closely behind the Yao Lao and arrived near the place where Qin Yu was refining medicine. He held his breath and dared not make a sound.

He didn't know what was wrong with the Yao Lao, but it seemed to be something serious.

"I never expected to see Pill Lightning here at the Jia Nan Academy."

Yao Chen murmured something under his breath, then voluntarily retreated a hundred feet away.

"Teacher, Pill Lightning is..."

Xiao Yan followed Yao Chen back a little further away, and only after receiving a signal from the other party did he speak up to ask.

"Just like the great commotion that Pill Convention when Sixth-Rank Pill is refined, Seventh-grade Intermediate or higher pill will produce an even greater commotion of Pill Lightning when it is refined."

"A pill of Seventh-grade Intermediate or higher?!"

"Boom!"

Just as Xiao Yan was still reeling from the shock, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky not far away, causing the leaves around Xiao Yan to flutter down.

Xiao Yan turned his head and saw streaks of lightning, like silver snakes cascading down from the clouds.

"Huh? What's that?"

Amidst the flashes of lightning, Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and caught sight of two figures.

The two figures were directly beneath the thunderclouds, enduring wave after wave of Pill Lightning striking them.

"Teacher, how powerful is this Pill Lightning?"

"Hmm... one bolt of Pill Lightning could kill at least ten Ling Quan."

Yao Chen thought for a moment and realized that Xiao Yan hadn't seen many truly powerful individuals, so he used Ling Quan, whom Xiao Yan disliked, as an example.

"Hiss, just how strong do these two people have to be to withstand the Pill Lightning strike with their bare bodies?"

"Idiot, didn't you see those were two puppets?"

Yao Chen initially thought Xiao Yan was simply curious about the power of the Pill Lightning, but who knew this guy couldn't even distinguish between a real person and a puppet!

"Huh? It's too far away for me to see clearly, and the situation over there is too chaotic for me to sense."

Xiao Yan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and muttered something under his breath.

"Stop joking. Judging from the looks of it, Qin Yu probably just refined an ordinary Seventh-Rank Mid-Level Pill."

Hearing Yao Lao's words, Xiao Yan felt even more embarrassed.

What an "ordinary" Seventh-Rank Mid-Level Pill!

But for now, he can only watch obediently.

Over here, Yao Chen and his apprentice were engrossed in watching the Pill Lightning, while Qin Yu, who was at the center of the Pill Lightning, diverted some of his attention to the two puppets.

Preliminary observations suggest that the Human Demon Puppet, crafted using Tier 7 Lightning Attribute Magic Core and with Tier 6 Lightning Attribute Magic Core embedded in the back of its head, is significantly stronger than the Earth Demon Puppet in absorbing Pill Lightning.

"If that's the case, could we use different Magic Core to create puppets with different abilities?"

An idea uncontrollably surfaced in my mind.

Try it next time you make a puppet!

As the Pill Lightning dissipated, the Earth Demon Puppet and the Human Demon Puppet landed one after the other, but beneath the bronze skin of the Human Demon Puppet, a faint silver luster had already appeared.

If the current method continues, the Human Demon Puppet is expected to evolve into Earth Demon Puppet after enduring six or seven more rounds of Pill Lightning!

It sounds like a few times, but as things stand, refining so many Seventh-Rank Pill that attract Pill Lightning...

Huh?

Why should I refine so much?

Why don't I just give all the Pill Lightning I used to feed this Human Demon Puppet?

As for the Earth Demon Puppet...

There's no other way for now, let's leave it at that. Earth Demon Puppet, you'll have to suffer a bit, but soon you'll have an even stronger brother.

Then, Qin Yu took out the first Seventh-Rank Mid-Level Pill he had personally refined from the medicine cauldron, the Orchid Green Pill.

The main function of this elixir is to help people in certain environments to shield themselves from all surrounding interference, while also significantly increasing the speed at which injuries heal themselves.

If you're venturing into a secret realm to find treasures and don't know what to bring, this pill is definitely a safe bet.

"It doesn't seem that difficult. Let's try refining a few more of the others."

The success of Orchid Green Pill greatly boosted Qin Yu's confidence.

In the following days, Qin Yu refined three more Seventh-grade Intermediate pills, causing the Pill Lightning to ring every few days.

Even though Qin Yu was far away from the students' activity area, the sound of the Pill Lightning still reached the students' ears clearly.

"Elder, what do you think..."

"Tell the students to stop running that way. I'm going to talk to Qin Yu."

The college issued a notice asking students not to approach the area, but the series of unusual occurrences have successfully piqued the students' curiosity.

After much deliberation, Su Qian decided to discuss the matter with Qin Yu Qin Yu after he finished refining the current pill.

Instead of stopping them from getting close, it's better to let these students watch the show openly. After they've watched it, everyone will be happy, and the students will have no reason to cause any more trouble.
