Free Web NovelChapter 339: Chapter 339: The Pill is Formed _1
Operating such a sophisticated alchemy furnace for the first time, Ye Ming was extremely cautious, fearing any mishap.
As time slowly passed, after approximately a quarter of an hour, the herbs inside the furnace were no longer visible, their medical potency having been refined and condensed, forming a lustrous and translucent elixir.
"Is it done?" Ye Ming felt astonished and hastily stopped the flow of his True Qi.
Upon opening the furnace, the Top Quality Spirit Condensing Elixir had already come into view, and Ye Ming was stunned, his heart filled with shock.
"Indeed, this furnace is simply too perfect; it actually allowed me to refine the elixir so swiftly!"
Ye Ming, wildly overjoyed, carefully took out the elixir and set it aside before he began refining the second one.
Even more astonished, naturally, was Zhang Lingfeng sitting beside him.
He widened his eyes, holding his breath, and gingerly leaned closer, diligently examining the Top Quality Spirit Condensing Elixir, his eyes betraying his admiration and envy.
"It’s truly a work of divine craftsmanship! I’d never have imagined that this old man, having spent half my life in the Alchemy Room, only managed to learn the merest fundamentals!"
"I am thoroughly impressed, utterly prostrate with admiration!"
Zhang Lingfeng was very excited, yet he never dared to touch the elixir.
Ye Ming said dismissively, "Elder, if you truly like the method of refining this elixir, I can teach it to you after all this is over!"
"Really? Are you serious?" Zhang Lingfeng asked in a low voice.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Of course, and not only that, I know how to refine many other elixirs, like the Body Tempering Elixir, the Bone Sculpting Elixir, and the like. As long as there are sufficient herbs, I can refine them."
The meaning of his words was very clear, with emphasis on the sufficiency of herbs.
Zhang Lingfeng said excitedly, "In Wanhua Valley, we lack everything but herbs. Young man, rest assured, as long as you can refine elixirs, whatever herbs you need, I can obtain for you!"
A few simple sentences had already established a very good relationship between the two.
And what he said, Ye Ming believed it to be true, as evidenced by the precious herbs scattered throughout the Alchemy Room proving that Wanhua Valley was indeed not lacking in herbs.
And during the time they chatted, the second Top Quality Spirit Condensing Elixir had already been refined by him.
Two radiant and crystal-clear elixirs side by side left Ye Ming feeling very satisfied.
The failure of his last advancement was partly due to the strange interference from the lightning, but also because he hadn’t been adequately prepared.
Now, two elixirs of excellent quality lay before him, and the Charm Array’s formidable strength outside provided a natural barrier, an altogether perfect combination of time, place, and unity of people.
"Elder, I may need some time to assimilate the elixirs and make a breakthrough in my cultivation!" Ye Ming said.
Zhang Lingfeng waved his hand generously and handed all the Great Revitalizing Protection Pills to Ye Ming, saying, "Take all these pills, they should last you for a while!"
"There are plenty of herbs here in the Alchemy Room; I’ll refine a few for my own use."
Ye Ming nodded and thanked him.
After taking the Great Revitalizing Protection Pills, Ye Ming took a deep breath, swallowed the two recently refined Top Quality Spirit Condensing Elixirs, then sat cross-legged on the ground and started to mobilize his Inner True Qi to break through the bottleneck again.
...
"Valley Master, we’ve already deployed our Formation; why hasn’t that kid been refined yet?"
Outside the Formation, an elder infusing his True Qi voiced his confusion.
The many elders had joined forces to set up the formation, and after such a long time, there was still no sign of any change within the formation; they could clearly feel that Ye Ming remained unharmed to this moment.
Qin Yao snorted coldly and said, "Without thinking, it’s clear that old guy is helping him resist us!"
"No matter, crafting the finest human puppet is bound to be difficult!"
"If this matter succeeds, it will be a glorious achievement for our Wanhua Valley; let none of you be impatient!"
Stirred by Qin Yao’s words, everyone became even more excited, considering Ye Ming’s previous actions which had defied the heavens. To turn such a mighty being into a human puppet that would obey them—would there be anyone in the world who would dare to invade then?
"The Valley Master is right, let’s all put in more effort. After all, Ye Ming is like a turtle in a jar for us, we can afford to wait him out!"
Several elders increased their infusion of True Qi, strengthening the formation. At this point, it was impossible for Ye Ming to escape.
Little did they know, the harder they tried, the more excited Ye Ming became.
With such a sturdy shell protecting him, even if lightning were to strike from the heavens again, he would not be afraid at all.
Meanwhile, on the other side, in the outskirts of Yanjing City.
Lin Guisan, with a few disciples, traipsed idly down the street, drawing unwarranted attention.
Surrounding him were several women with perfect figures and dazzling looks, strutting down the street causing traffic disruption.
On the empty road, a truck driver dozing off caught sight of people wandering carelessly on the main road, got startled, and hurriedly honked the horn.
Seeing they paid no heed, the driver rolled down the window and bellowed, "Hey, you lot, scram! Do you have a death wish walking on the main road!?"
The truck was moving too fast, and the driver had no intention of braking, for doing so might cause it to overturn.
They were still at a distance; all Lin Guisan and his group needed to do was step aside.
However, the piercing sound of the horn made Lin Guisan furrow his brows and he said impatiently, "What a racket! It’s just a truck, yet it dares to yell at me!"
"I must teach you how to behave!"
Lin Guisan grinned, turned his head, and charged toward the oncoming truck.
After a loud bang, the truck was flipped over by the roadside, and the driver lay unconscious inside.
At the front of the truck was a huge indentation, which upon closer inspection, was revealed to be a fist imprint.
Lin Guisan stretched his limbs and said with ease, "The world is finally quiet, we can now peacefully go find my dear disciple!"
It wasn’t long before the beautifully designed Lakeside Villa appeared in his line of sight.
Lin Guisan shouted loudly, "Lin Bingqing, my beloved disciple, I have traveled far to find you, shouldn’t you come down and greet me in person?"
His companions, the flamboyant women, also began to shout, "Bingqing Sister, stop hiding like a turtle in its shell, come out!" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
At that moment, inside the villa, Lin Bingqing’s figure appeared on the balcony.
Seeing the scene before her, her complexion changed drastically, her heart dropping significantly.
"How did they find this place?" Lin Bingqing muttered to herself.
Following closely behind her was a graceful silhouette who walked out, asking curiously, "Bingqing, who are they?"
