Chapter 227
As Ye Wen spat out these two words, "Ye Wen!"
A scarlet spiritual energy swirled around the pill furnace, so anxious that it seemed as if it could ignite the air.
"Xue Yi, before we take out the True Supreme Dan, Bing Qian and I still need to maintain the mortal fire. Therefore, you go and take the pill."
"I …" Ye Xueyi was just trying to keep an eye on things. She didn't expect that she would be of any use. "Alright, I'll go …"
She swallowed a mouthful of water and tightly pursed her lips. Then, she moved to the side of the furnace and was about to extend her jade-like hand.
"Don't use your hands. Be careful of the heat. Use your spirit energy to press down the valve and open the lid of this furnace." Ye Wen hurriedly reminded as he was distracted by the duo.
Now that the Xuan grade pill furnace had been roasted by Liu Bingqian and him for a long time, the temperature had never dropped. Therefore, even if they didn't touch it with their own hands, they knew that the temperature of the furnace was extremely high.
"Understood." Ye Xueyi was startled for a moment before withdrawing her hand and sinking into her thoughts. A clear and ice-cold aura immediately swept out from her body, converging into the shape of a small needle as it pierced towards the pill furnace's cover valve.
As the spiritual energy entered the furnace and pressed against the valve, the lid of the furnace shook for a moment before it stopped moving.
A strange light flashed across Ye Xueyi's beautiful eyes. Just as she was about to get closer and take a look …
All of a sudden, as if it had just been released, the entire lid flew up into the air and flew straight up to the ceiling. It almost crashed into the ceiling, almost shattering into pieces.
"This …"
Ye Xueyi's beautiful eyes were filled with splendor. If she had personally opened the lid of the furnace, she might have received some light injuries.
She had never expected that refining a pill would be so dangerous. The image of an old alchemist sitting leisurely waiting for a pill to be refined was completely different from the one she had in her mind.
However, it was no longer the time to think about such things.
A medicinal pill that was wrapped by a scarlet flame emitted a 'hiss hiss' sound as it slowly rose from the pill furnace.
The thirty-two stars let out a final beam of light, and a scorching cloud of smoke sprayed out. The pill that seemed to have been enveloped by a coal ball began to peel off the blackish-brown coal from the top.
Little by little, the pill's entire shape was revealed after the coal sheets were completely separated from its original form. An incomparably resplendent light and aura spread out from its body.
A crimson pill slowly descended from the sky. Following which, Ye Feng used his spirit energy to guide it into the opening of the pill furnace.
"This … this is the True Supreme Pill …" Ye Xueyi couldn't control the excitement in her heart.
When she saw Wang Tian Zhi obtain the True Supreme Dan from an elder during the Heavenly Staircase Conference, her heart was filled with envy. But now, her brother was actually able to refine this kind of Transcending Pill by himself.
"To be exact, this is the first True Supreme Dan bead."
Ye Wen continued to stare at the pill furnace with a strange smile on his face.
"The first one … could it be …"
Ye Xueyi sucked in a breath of cold air. A surprised look flashed across her pretty face as she abruptly turned her head to look at the pill furnace.
As expected, the second pill that was completely red flew out from the furnace while circling around the first pill's spirit energy.
"This …"
Although Liu Bingqian understood the Dao of alchemy, she was even more surprised than Ye Xueyi.
"Boorish big brother, these two pills are wrapped in scarlet flames. Could it be that they're both Profound Grade True Supreme Dan?"
"That is exactly the case." Ye Wen replied with a faint smile.
Liu Bing Qing's pretty face was full of fear, "Oh my god …"
To be able to refine two Yellow grade tai Wei True Essence Pills was already shocking enough, but now, Ye Feng was actually able to refine two Xuan grade pills at once. No matter how one thought about it, this was a bit unbelievable.
Of course, this was inextricably linked to his breakthrough to the seventh level of Qi Refining, the formation of ordinary fire, the use of a Profound Grade Pill Cauldron, and the assistance of Liu Bingqian.
While they were talking, the unconcealable spiritual energy within the True Supreme Pill began to overflow from the precious medicine cage and slowly fly away.
….
Scholartree Jade Courtyard was a place where the Martial House welcomed distinguished guests.
The pavilions, rockery, and sculptures were all arranged according to style, and almost all of them came from the Wind Control Academy's personal taste. Naturally, they were exquisite and formed a uniform shape.
"During the last Heavenly Stairway Conference, your sect's Master Zhao had come. I happened to have something to take care of, so I was unable to take care of him properly. This time, the various elders from the Celestial Sect of Wonders have come to our Martial House and asked me to make up for my deficiencies with this spirit feast."
He laughed as he raised his jade wine cup. The inside of the cup was filled with Qi Replenishing Wine that nourished spiritual energy.
"Everyone, let's drink this spirit wine together."
Old Man Suo from the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the others looked at each other before laughing heartily. Standing up, their hearts were extremely carefree.
"Alright, many thanks to the Wind Palm Academy. We will respectfully follow your orders and do it together."
Previously, Elder Lin had left a bad impression on them. However, the Wind Palm Academy seemed to be very forthright and changed their views towards the upper echelons of the Martial House.
However, just as everyone was about to raise their cups and drink, a strange Spiritual Qi fluctuation flashed through the Scholartree Manor.
A light immediately flashed across everyone's eyes. Most of them still held their wine cups in their hands while a small portion of them sipped on their wine. Their movements seemed to freeze in that instant.
"Someone is refining the True Supreme Pill."
"Impossible. In our Lei Zhou City, there is someone who can refine cross-border pills. Furthermore, that person seems to be in the Martial House …"
The expressions of the crowd immediately became extremely brilliant.
The True Supreme Dan wasn't terrifying by itself. All of the Elders present had ways to obtain it. Some of the alchemist experts of the Heavenly Dao City, such as old ghost Mu Yun, could also refine it.
However, the crowd found it hard to imagine that someone in Lei Zhou City would be able to refine such a pill.
The elders of the Martial House looked at each other in astonishment. They were motionless, as if they had frozen.
The heart of the Wind Palm Academy skipped a beat. When it noticed the awkward atmosphere, it immediately laughed.
"Perhaps, this is just an illusion. Everyone, let's not worry about the fluctuations of spirit energy. It's best to enjoy this spirit feast tonight."
Old Suo nodded with a smile and said, "Wind Palm Academy is right. This should be an illusion on everyone's part. Perhaps it is the spiritual energy of some other medicinal pills? Everyone is still stunned. Raising their wine cups, we continue to drink it."
Of the two senior executives, one represented the Martial House and the other represented the Celestial Sect. Although they were both puzzled, they also had their own responsibilities.
However, a moment later, before anyone could react …
Yet another tiny bit of True Essence Pill's Spiritual Energy was drawn out. Moreover, this time, the Spiritual Energy Waves was much clearer than the first time. Even those with weaker Spiritual Aura could feel it now.
"It seems that it isn't …"
"It's just an illusion," the elders murmured.
With such a dense amount of Spiritual Qi, even the Wind Palm Academy could not easily cover it up with a single word, "Illusion".
"This is too tiny a True Essence Pill. It couldn't have been concocted by Lady Bingqian." The Martial House Elders' first reaction was this. After all, the number one alchemist of Lei Zhou City was Bing Qian.
"I think it's possible. If Lady Bingqian really knows how to refine the True Supreme Pellet, then in the future, there will be at least twenty percent more students in the Martial House who have broken through to the Martial Disciple realm."
Twenty percent might not be a large number, but the number of scholars in the Martial House was not small either.
The Wind Palm Academy raised its gaze and saw the crowd discussing amongst themselves. If this continued, the scene of the banquet would become somewhat awkward. Immediately, it opened its mouth to speak.
"Everyone be quiet for a moment. It might not necessarily be Lady Bingqian. Perhaps some alchemist has passed through our Lei Zhou City. How about this, since everyone is so interested in the person who refined the True Supreme Dan bead, then I will make the decision and invite him to join this spirit feast?"
Everyone looked at each other and applauded quickly, "Okay, okay. We also want to see who is this alchemist expert. We should take this opportunity to get to know him."
The Wind Palm Academy's brows gradually knitted together. Turning its head, it gave its attendant a meaningful glance.
"You go."
"Yes." A light flashed across that person's eyes as he nodded his head in understanding. His body gradually disappeared into the darkness without a trace.
….
On the other side, Ye Wen was currently on the ground, using his spirit blood to make a mark.
"Follow the blood veins I drew and place the Bone Spirit Fruit, Body Cleansing Grass, Water Spirit Lotus, Regeneration Grass, Scarlet Blood Fruit, and the Azure Infant Flower along the way. Place the White Orchid Fruit in the middle, blue leaves, White Spirit Ginseng, and …"
Ye Zifeng kept talking, with a solemn expression, he turned around and said, "Did you guys remember what I just did?"
A long string of names. Judging from their might, they truly wanted to display some kind of large-scale medicinal formation. The two girls were stunned on the spot. They did not know how Ye Feng had memorized these names.
Because just by listening, they felt a little scary.
Ye Xueyi was speechless for a moment before she raised her head in embarrassment, "Brother Zifeng, you spoke so fast, how could I possibly remember?"
Liu Bingqian also nodded, "Don't mention Little Sister Xue Yi. I've cultivated for so long that even I can't remember anything about it. Anyway, big brother, why are you in such a hurry? Although it's a short time, it's at least three days."
"It's not that I'm in a hurry, but I'm afraid that the Wind Control Academy may have already sent people over to take a look at the situation here."
There were advantages and disadvantages to using this medicinal cage, so it was naturally convenient to use the ingredients. Even if there was a medicinal herb that could be used to make up for it, the disadvantages were obvious. Because the medicinal cage was in the Martial House, the dense Spiritual Qi that was unique to the True Supreme Pills would easily arouse others' awareness and cause chaos.
"It can't be. When does the Wind Palm Academy have time to meddle in this matter?" Liu Bingqian was startled and found it hard to believe.
She was too close to the True Essence Pill and didn't feel much of it. Thus, she didn't know that the spiritual energy of this Transcending Mortality Pill was very unique and had already attracted the attention of the elders of the Wind Palm Academy.
Ye Wen's eyes suddenly flashed with divine light.
"He truly does not wish to interfere. However, there are times when people are in high positions and he cannot do anything about it. Therefore, he has no choice but to intervene."
