However, the next moment, Ye Qingshuang dismissed her own thought.

Although Ye Yu possessed alchemical fire and an alchemy furnace, his technique was wrong. Cangyun had once said that one must use the alchemy furnace to lock in the spiritual energy of the medicinal ingredients.

While Ye Yu's alchemical fire was strong and he could refine the medicinal liquid quickly, the spiritual energy would gradually dissipate, making it impossible to form a pill in the end.

Just as Ye Qingshuang was mocking her own idea, the spiritual seals in the cave reappeared, trapping the medicinal liquid and sealing the spiritual energy directly.

Immediately, Ye Yu waved his hand, sealing all the medicinal liquid into the alchemy furnace. In just a few sticks of incense, a green aura drifted out from the furnace.

A colored pill fragrance!

Ye Yu was refining a Grade 6 pill! And he had succeeded!

For a moment, Ye Qingshuang felt her worldview collapsing. Setting aside why Ye Yu possessed the ability to refine Grade 6 pills.

The speed alone was too astonishing, taking less than an hour from start to finish.

As Cangyun's disciple, she had witnessed Cangyun refine a Grade 6 pill, which took a full half a month, including preparation time, to produce just one.

What kind of monster was this Ye Yu!

It's fake, it must be fake! No one in this world could form a pill so quickly!

But in the next second, Ye Yu abruptly lifted the furnace lid, and a jade-green pill floated out, which he caught in his palm.

The last shred of Ye Qingshuang's fantasy was shattered. With her abilities, she could naturally tell that it was a genuine Grade 6 pill, emitting a rich pill fragrance and vitality.

He succeeded! This guy really succeeded!

Ye Yu took the pill and fed it to Qin Ruoxian's mouth.

The next moment, Qin Ruoxian let out a groan, the paleness on her face began to recede, and her wounds started to heal.

Ye Yu stared intently at Qin Ruoxian's wounds. After seeing strands of Nine Nether Blood Qi being forced out, he used the small cauldron to absorb them all before he finally let out a sigh of relief.

Before coming here, Ye Yu had refined quite a few healing pills, but he hadn't expected this secret realm to contain the Nine Nether Blood Spring, so those pills weren't entirely safe.

Seeing Qin Ruoxian's condition improving, Ye Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief and removed the seal around the cave.

Ye Qingshuang, however, stood frozen on the spot, looking at Ye Yu in astonishment. After a long while, she murmured, "You... you're actually a Rank 7 Alchemist?!"

Upon seeing Ye Yu casually refine a Grade 6 pill, Ye Qingshuang no longer doubted Cangyun's words. Ye Yu truly had the ability to cure the poison afflicting Ye Qingxuan.

"What? Is it only you and your good brother Ye Xuan who can be alchemists?" Qin Ruoxian was fine now, and Ye Yu, relieved, asked.

"Then, does that mean my mother...?" Hearing Ye Yu's sarcastic tone, Ye Qingshuang seemed to suddenly realize something and quickly interjected.

Ye Yu looked up at Ye Qingshuang, not answering. He sat down cross-legged to adjust his internal spiritual energy. He had exerted himself just now, agitating his spiritual energy. If he didn't suppress it soon, he might condense his Nascent Soul.

Impossible, absolutely impossible! If Ye Yu were truly an alchemist, then what about her mother back then?!

At this point, Ye Qingshuang began to meticulously recall that period of time she was unwilling to remember. With her current abilities, she quickly deduced from her memories that the Grade 4 pill she had refined back then had not truly been completed!

Ye Qingshuang trembled, suddenly collapsing to the ground, her face pale as she looked at her hands.

"Could it be, could it be that mother died by my hand!!!"

The grief-stricken Ye Qingshuang failed to notice that her wounds, which had been healing, now had slight cracks appearing. Strands of imperceptible blood qi continuously tangled on the wounds, preventing them from healing.

Even the flesh on the wounds began to rot.

This was the terrifying nature of the Nine Nether Blood Qi.

Ye Yu, who was in the process of adjusting his breathing, naturally noticed this situation, but he chose to remain silent, abandoning his inclination to help.

Inside the cave, Ye Yu finished his adjustments, and Qin Ruoxian also woke up. However, upon seeing Ye Qingshuang, she almost drew her sword to attack, but Ye Yu stopped her.

Ye Qingshuang was now infected with the Nine Nether Blood Qi.

A future more terrifying than death awaited her.

Let Ye Qingshuang experience for herself what she perceived as feigning illness and pitifulness.

Inside the cave, a stream of light flashed, and Ye Yu and Qin Ruoxian emerged, heading straight for the palace in the center of the mountain. Ye Qingshuang, having snapped back to reality, pursed her lips and followed closely behind, her gaze towards Ye Yu's retreating back filled with complex emotions.

On the way to the palace, they encountered several blood zombies, all of whom Ye Yu casually eliminated.

The trio soon arrived at the entrance of the palace.

At the same time, many other people were also arriving from various directions. However, they all had injuries, more or less, and without exception, they were all tainted with the Nine Nether Blood Qi.

Qin Ruoxian anxiously scanned the surroundings. Only when she saw Qin Yue and Qin Xiong arrive did she finally relax.

Ye Yu secretly activated the small cauldron to absorb the Nine Nether Blood Qi from them before looking up at the mottled mountain gate before him.

Above the mountain gate, three large characters were clearly written.

Sacred Pill Sect!

"It's the Sacred Pill Sect!" Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

Let alone others, even Ye Yu's expression became incredibly complex. His understanding of this secret realm in his past life was too limited; he never expected this secret realm to be the ruins of the Sacred Pill Sect.

According to ancient records, the Sacred Pill Sect had once flourished in Qingzhou. During its most powerful period, it had five Spirit Transformation cultivators in a single sect, and there were even rumors of Void Refining stage existences.

The sect had countless Rank 6 Alchemists, and even five Rank 7 Alchemists, whose traces were now nowhere to be found in Qingzhou.

However, such a powerful sect vanished without a trace overnight, becoming an unsolved mystery at the time.

Ye Yu, however, knew clearly that judging by the current situation, the destruction of the Sacred Pill Sect was likely connected to the Nine Nether Blood Spring!

"That's great, Sister Qingshuang! If this is the site of the Sacred Pill Sect, it's tailor-made for you!" Ye Xuan's surprised voice rang out.

All eyes fell upon Ye Qingshuang, the disciple of the Cangyun Alchemist.

Indeed, the Sacred Pill Sect was famous for alchemy, so there were likely alchemist inheritances within the ruins!

If Ye Qingshuang obtained them, the Great Yan might very well have a Rank 6 Alchemist in the future, comparable to the Cangyun Alchemist. The Great Yan Dynasty was set to soar!

But Ye Qingshuang couldn't bring herself to be happy. Yesterday, she might have been delighted, but after witnessing Ye Yu's alchemy, she understood that this place was truly tailor-made for Ye Yu!

After the shock, the next moment, someone couldn't hold back any longer. They soared into the air, heading straight for the central palace.

Qin Ruoxian and the others also wanted to follow, but Ye Yu held them back.

Before they could react, the sky suddenly erupted in brilliant light, spiritual energy crisscrossing. The cultivator at the mid Golden Core stage didn't even have time to scream before being reduced to ashes.

"As expected, the sect protecting formation is still active!" Ye Yu took a deep breath, shocked.
