I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

"Isn't it too risky for you to refine two seventh-grade pills this time? After all, refining two seventh-grade pills in one go is not an easy task even for an eighth-grade alchemist. Moreover, you are only seventh-grade now. Even if you have reached eighth-grade, isn't your cultivation level a bit insufficient?"

After leaving Xiao Yan, Fang Yu heard the voice of Venerable Tianhuo. Fang Yu's answer to Venerable Tianhuo's question was very simple.

"If I weren't absolutely certain, I wouldn't have agreed to this, nor would I have considered resurrecting both of you. It's just a matter of a short while for me; it's not a difficult task. As for eighth and ninth grade pills, they are meaningless to me. I don't care about such things at all. As long as I resurrect both of you seniors, it will greatly help me unify the entire Black Corner Region. So, you don't need to worry about this matter. It has little to do with you. You just need to wait quietly for the resurrection. You don't need to concern yourself with anything else. Just leave this to me. As for what will happen, that's none of your business. Anyway, seventh-grade pills and eighth-grade pills make little difference to me. One or two pills are even less of a difference. At most, it just means preparing a few more portions of the medicinal herbs. These things don't really matter to me; they just take a little effort, a little time, and consume a little battle qi."

Fang Yu's blunt words made Venerable Tianhuo's expression turn somewhat unpleasant, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he obediently stayed in the ring to rest and await his resurrection. He knew very well that whether he could be resurrected this time depended entirely on Fang Yu. Although Fang Yu spoke to him rudely, he could understand. After all, what alchemist doesn't have a temper? Especially such a young alchemist, whose temper would naturally be even greater. So he wouldn't get angry over this. Moreover, he was also full of anticipation for his resurrection. No one doesn't want to be resurrected, and no one wants to die in that underground magma world. After waiting for so many years, he finally got Fang Yu's arrival. How could he possibly give up this opportunity for resurrection?
He didn't know how many years he had waited for this chance to be resurrected. No one knew how painful it was for him to wait in that underground magma world. He had even despaired at one point, but he still refused to give up.

Finally, hope arrived, and Fang Yu came. Naturally, he wouldn't provoke or offend Fang Yu. Fang Yu knew this too, so he was researching resurrection plans. There were three resurrection plans in total: the first was a seventh-grade Soul Returning Pill, the second was the body of a Dou Zong powerhouse, and the third was the essence blood of a Dou Zong demon beast.

The last two items are already prepared. The only thing left is to refine the seventh-grade pill. Of course, some other auxiliary materials are needed, and he has asked the academy and Yun Yun to help him obtain them. They have basically been collected.

In any case, these auxiliary materials are not too difficult for the academy and Yun Yun. They only need to collect them a little bit and they will have enough.

The news that Fang Yu was about to refine a seventh-grade pill had already spread throughout the entire Black Corner Region. Now, the entire Black Corner Region knew once again that another seventh-grade pill was about to be refined.

This excited countless alchemists throughout the Black Corner Region, who wanted to watch. After all, they had already gained a lot from watching the last time, and if they watched again this time, they would surely gain even more. Once their alchemy skills improved, their status and position would also be elevated.

Such a great benefit and opportunity was naturally something they were unwilling to give up, as it would be incredibly advantageous to their future. Under these circumstances, they naturally pulled strings and used back channels, trying every possible means to obtain the opportunity to observe from the sidelines. Fang Yu had learned of these requests from the academy elders and Yun Yun. He agreed to these requests, but not all alchemists were qualified to observe from his side; only alchemists of at least the fourth rank were eligible.

Alternatively, one must reach the level of a third-grade alchemist before the age of twenty to be qualified, because only in this way can one understand some of the intricacies. If one cannot even do this, then one is truly not qualified at all.

Although these two demanding requirements angered the less qualified alchemists, they dared not vent their anger on Fang Yu.

He could only secretly improve his strength and alchemy skills, hoping to make further progress, so that he might have the opportunity to see Fang Yu refine pills in the future.

However, they did not know that this was their last chance to learn about Fang Yu's pill-refining abilities. It would be impossible for him to do so in the future, because Fang Yu would not continue refining pills in the Black Corner Region. He would only refine them in other places, such as the Central Continent. The Black Corner Region was merely a stopover point for him, and he would not stay there for long.

Besides him, Yun Yun was the same. Fang Yu had already arranged Yun Yun's future, and she was just waiting to go to the Flower Sect in the Eastern Continent.

Fang Yu would naturally not give up the opportunity that Yun Yun had, because it was related to Yun Yun's future, whether she could successfully break through to the Dou Sheng realm, or even the Dou Di realm. Yun Yun was now someone he was extremely satisfied with; it could be said that no one satisfied him more than Yun Yun.

He was referring to the Black Corner region, not other places, though those exist in other places as well.

Yun Yun understood this as well, and knew that her future had already been arranged by Fang Yu, so she didn't know whether she should be happy or not.

After all, as long as she followed the path arranged by Fang Yu, her future would be smooth sailing. Yun Yun was very clear about this and understood that as long as she followed the path arranged by Fang Yu, she would definitely become a Dou Zun or even a Dou Sheng.

It wasn't that Fang Yu was deceiving Yun Yun, and Yun Yun didn't think Fang Yu would deceive her either, because Fang Yu had already demonstrated his potential and strength. Under these circumstances, Yun Yun naturally wouldn't have any doubts or worries.

But she found that she didn't seem very happy.

Perhaps it sounds a bit pretentious, but Yun Yun did indeed feel controlled, a feeling that made her very uncomfortable and distressed, yet she couldn't control it. Logically, she should be happy, but even so, she couldn't feel joy.

She could only silently help Fang Yu with his tasks to reduce her own overthinking, while also cultivating herself.

Yun Yun dared not slack off in her cultivation, but unfortunately, time was limited, allowing her to cultivate as much as possible only in the dead of night. However, she was very lucky; Fang Yu had given her many elixirs and miraculous medicines. As long as she consumed and refined these medicines, her cultivation level would continuously improve without any major side effects. This made her very happy, and she no longer needed to worry about her cultivation level becoming unstable due to consuming too many elixirs and miraculous medicines, preventing her from advancing further.

The most obvious example of this is her disciple. It is precisely because of her disciple that she is unwilling to consume too many elixirs, but she has no choice but to do so because she wants to improve her strength in a short period of time, and this is a necessary step.

Fortunately, Fang Yu gave her a pill that could resolve this situation. As long as she swallowed and refined the corresponding pill, she could completely refine the floating battle qi in her body.

This was no longer a difficult thing for Yunyun.

Yun Yun handled the tasks Fang Yu had entrusted to her exceptionally well, greatly satisfying Fang Yu. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so pleased, nor would he have bestowed upon her so many valuable gifts. These were rewards for Yun Yun, and these rewards were invaluable for rapidly advancing her cultivation level.

Despite having so many elixirs to enhance her strength, Yun Yun still did not forget what she needed to do.

Fang Yu didn't pay much attention to Yun Yun's thoughts. He only needed to give Yun Yun the corresponding pills to help her improve her strength. He didn't want to concern himself with anything else, because his most important task now was to refine seventh-grade pills. Once the pills were refined, he could start to revive the two old guys. Once he successfully revived the two old guys, unifying the Black Corner Region would be a very easy thing. And the most important and crucial thing was to be able to eliminate the guys from the Soul Hall.

The arrival of the Soul Palace had always been a thorn in his side, and he had to get rid of it. He absolutely had to remove this thorn, because he hated it to the point of itching to the core. He couldn't sleep or eat in peace until it was gone. The protectors and elders from the Soul Palace were also prepared, waiting for him to finish refining the pills so they could attack, kill him, and steal them. After all, seventh-grade pills were extremely valuable to them. Even within the Soul Palace, not everyone could obtain such a high-level pill. Since they had encountered it, they naturally wanted to find a way to get it; such a precious thing was not something everyone was qualified to possess.

The Soul Palace protectors were especially eager to obtain the pills refined by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was fully aware of the Soul Hall's underhanded tactics, but he ignored them. Such matters were beyond his control and couldn't be interfered with. He couldn't resolve the situation now, but whether he could handle it when the Soul Hall intervened was another matter entirely. Since he was refining at the academy this time, and so many powerful figures from the Soul Hall had arrived, he believed the academy's elders, such as the Two Elders Qianbai, would certainly not stand idly by.

Besides these two old guys, there are actually other powerful figures in the academy. Together, they are enough to pose no danger even to a Dou Zun expert. This time, he went to great lengths to get these old guys to come out.

Although none of these old guys had reached the Dou Zun level, they could still hold their own for a while if they joined forces.

In just that short time, Fang Yu was able to revive the two old guys he wanted to bring back to life.

It doesn't take too long. Just refine the pills and give them to the two old guys immediately. That's quite easy.

As long as the two old guys can be successfully resurrected, then even if the Soul Hall sends a lot of powerful people, it will be of no use, unless all the powerful guys from the Soul Hall come, such as those Heavenly Venerable level guys.

Unless all those guys come, don't even think about it. The reason these two old guys were able to revive so quickly is because Fang Yu gave them some good things. It wasn't just limited to pills, bodies, and essence blood; there were other good things too, and these things could help them revive faster, which was exactly what they wanted.

After all, they were well aware of the predicament Fang Yu was currently facing, and naturally wanted to revive him quickly so they could help him resolve these troubles along the way. Fang Yu was naturally very happy with their kindness; otherwise, he wouldn't have used these methods to speed up his revival.

If these two old guys are successfully resurrected, then the Soul Palace will no longer be a threat, and he will be able to resolve many issues. Otherwise, Fang Yu wouldn't have gone to such lengths, even arranging things for Venerable Heavenly Fire.

Before long, Yun Yun and the academy had gathered all the medicinal materials and supplies for Fang Yu. Fang Yu was very satisfied with these materials and herbs.

After all, it wouldn't be easy for him to collect such a complete set so quickly. Now, with the help of the academy and Yun Yun, it's much easier.

"Alright, you don't need to worry too much about this. I'm prepared. There won't be any unexpected events. Even if those guys hiding in the shadows suddenly appear, they're nothing to me. I can handle them. To me, they're just a bunch of rats lurking in the dark. There's no need to worry about them at all. I've already prepared a way to deal with them. As long as I can refine the pills, I can eliminate them. Besides, hasn't the academy already called out all the elders? Although it came at a cost, having those elders is enough. Don't worry, there won't be any unexpected events." (End of Chapter)
