A god-level alchemist, starting by manually crafting forbidden pills.

"yes!"

Bai Jie looked up and asked, "May I ask what you need me to do, Master?"

Gao Yi looked at her and became increasingly satisfied with his disciple, showing her even greater respect.

He smiled and said, "Go tell him that the assessment in twenty days requires him to refine a low-grade Xuan-level Qi Condensation Pill."

Gao Yi glanced at Ji Kun and snorted coldly.

When he looked at Bai Jie again, he had a smile on his face. "This is the sect leader's order. You must deliver it in person."

Bai Jie was stunned.

The Qi Condensation Pill is a true Xuan-grade pill, far superior to any Huang-grade top-grade pill.

Even if one gets close to the Xuan rank, it is still an insurmountable barrier.

Can Luo Fan...do he do it?

Her chest felt heavy, and she couldn't hide her worry.

But then, there was another hint of something sweet that was hard to describe...

tomorrow.

Then you'll be able to see him.

Now I have a legitimate reason to see him openly and honestly.

She suppressed her turbulent thoughts, bowed, and said, "This disciple will obey Master's orders!"

"Go, and take good care of your breathing."

Gao Yi waved his hand.

I didn't look at Ji Kun, who was standing dejectedly by the pit, anymore.

He turned around, took a step, and disappeared into the night.

In the courtyard, only Bai Jie and Ji Kun, whose eyes were vacant, remained.

A night breeze swept by, carrying a chill.

Bai Jie stood quietly for a while, then turned around and went back into the house.

The door is closed.

Ji Kun was left alone, sitting in the cold courtyard, facing the mess all around.

That pill felt warm.

But his heart was completely cold.

In the distance, behind the artificial hill.

Luo Fan exhaled a breath of stale air, and his tense nerves relaxed.

He glanced at the small window with the light on, then at the disheveled figure in the yard.

The corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up.

Senior sister...you're really amazing.

That move of feigning retreat to advance, that phrase about verifying the elixir—it was absolutely brilliant.

That beast Ji Kun is completely finished tonight.

A thousand spirit-severing whips.

Gao Yi's punishment was really harsh.

He wouldn't sympathize with Ji Kun; that beast only had himself to blame.

See you tomorrow...wife!

Luo Fan's figure blended into the night.

yard.

Bai Jie stood by the window, looking outside.

The moonlight streamed through the window and fell upon her, cool and refreshing.

She looked down at the embroidered shoe on her right foot.

The shoe surface was clean and gleamed with a warm sheen under the moonlight.

The patterns on it seem more vibrant.

She stared at it for a long time.

The words Luo Fan said when he handed her the shoes kept echoing in her mind.

"Senior sister, remember to wear it while healing. It's damp in the mountains, so don't catch a cold."

At the time, I didn't think much of it.

At this moment, I feel a little sweet inside.

Did he already know that Ji Kun harbored ill intentions and that the pill might be problematic?

That's why she deliberately left a safety net on these seemingly ordinary shoes?

Therefore, the unbelievable surge of spiritual energy tonight was not accidental.

It was a surprise he had secretly prepared for her.

If it weren't for these shoes, if it weren't for him...

What will it be like tonight?

Bai Jie dared not think too deeply about it.

A chill ran through me, a lingering fear.

But then, an even stronger, hotter current of warmth surged from the deepest part of her heart, dispelling all her chill.

The warm current was scalding hot, pressing against her chest, making her whole heart tremble.

under the moonlight.

Bai Jie stroked the warm shoe surface, feeling the delicate touch of the fabric against her fingertips.

And the subtle, almost imperceptible warmth that belongs to him.

The corners of her lips unconsciously turned up.

A smile, faint yet incredibly genuine, rose up, stunning the moonlight.

That smile contained lingering fear, relief, and realization.

More than anything, it's a warm current that's almost overflowing, so sweet it's almost overwhelming.

"You're always like this..."

She gazed in the direction of Danfeng and murmured, "She said nothing, yet she did everything."

Bai Jie's voice was so soft that only the moonlight could hear it.

She raised her hand and pressed it against her chest, where it was beating rapidly.

"Here I am..."

"You've stuffed it so full there's no room for anything else."

The night breeze stirred the peach blossoms and leaves, causing them to sway.

The moonlight, like water, enveloped the small courtyard and the slender, delicate, and determined figure by the window.

Danfeng.

Luo Fan stood in the courtyard, his fingertips radiating spiritual energy.

Along a specific trajectory, faint silver patterns are outlined on the courtyard wall, the ground, and under the eaves.

As the last array pattern descended, the courtyard trembled slightly before returning to calm.

Soundproof array, complete.

"Done."

He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This time, Luo Fan decided to refine another Bursting Pill to personally test its effects.

Last time I was careless and thought that this kind of pill had no side effects, so I gave it to Senior Sister Bai for protection.

The result was good; Senior Sister Bai brought back a legion of demonic beasts, but the side effects were also quite obvious.

Bai Jie's fellow disciples knelt down and called her "Mother," which led to Bai Jie's death and nearly resulted in his ear being ripped off.

Anyway, with his cultivation level, he couldn't refine a Xuan-grade spiritual pill, and he also obtained the Eye of Truth.

Perhaps the side effects can be resolved with the help of the Eye of Truth and the Cold Fire of the Nether Spring.

After confirming that everything was correct, Luo Fan entered the alchemy room.

Close the door.

A faint blue flame ignited at his fingertips, illuminating his focused profile.

Luo Fan held his breath and focused his mind as he threw the corresponding medicinal materials into the alchemy furnace, where the cold spring fire spread silently.

Time flowed slowly in the quiet alchemy room.

One hour later.

A figure landed on Danfeng Peak.

To avoid attracting attention, she suppressed her aura to the twelfth level of Qi Refining.

The newcomer wore a light purple gradient dress, with large peonies embroidered in silver thread on the hem.

As I walked, peonies flowed and bloomed under the moonlight.

She wore a semi-transparent veil of the same color, which made her look even more mysterious.

A silver-threaded satin belt cinched her waist, accentuating her incredibly slender figure.

The skirt features a high slit, subtly revealing long, straight legs beneath.

The skin on it even has a delicate, jade-like luster.

Her hair was styled in a side bun, with a peony hairpin swaying with her steps, and silver tassels adorning her earlobes.

She wore a thin silver chain around her neck and an intricately carved silver bracelet on her wrist.

From a distance, the figure looked like a fairy maiden emerging from the moon palace.

Yet, there's a hint of nonchalant laziness in his eyes and brows.

As she approached, she looked up at the secluded little courtyard and let out a soft exclamation.

She saw that the courtyard was enveloped by a very faint, smooth, round, and ultra-thin membrane of light, almost blending into the night.

"interesting."

Liu Linglong smiled and a hint of amusement flashed in her eyes.

Although the soundproof array was set up rather crudely, and the flow of spiritual energy at several nodes was not very smooth.

But it is indeed a formation.

The fact that the little guy could set up such a formation was quite surprising to her.

However, this thing couldn't stop her.

She moved gracefully to the courtyard gate and pointed at the layer of light membrane.

Boo!

The light membrane rippled like water, creating a gap just wide enough for one person to pass through.

With a swift movement, he entered the courtyard.

The windows of the alchemy room revealed a blend of deep blue and orange-red hues.

Liu Linglong turned her head and looked at the window.

It's midnight.

This little guy, is he still awake?

Without needing to use his divine sense, he already knew that Luo Fan was refining pills.

"They are quite diligent."

"What kind of flower can be refined at the first level of Qi Refining? It's just a waste of energy."

Despite the reality, Luo Fan's attitude satisfied her.

Since his senior sister wanted to help him, and it was a small matter for her, he went along with it.

Liu Linglong's smile deepened, tinged with amusement and a hint of condescending pity.

She extended her right hand, her five fingers long and slender like jade, forming an intricate and elegant mudra.

A Dreamlike Intro.

A spell that can trap the victim in the illusion they crave most.

at the same time.

In the alchemy room.

Luo Fan's face was pale, his spiritual energy was completely depleted, and his Eye of Truth could no longer be used.

"The Cold Fire of the Ghost Spring is fucking exhausting..."

Luo Fan's vision was somewhat blurry, and he saw double images.

Fortunately, the pill was successfully made, and its quality far exceeded expectations. Moreover, under the watchful eye of the Eye of Truth, it seemed to be functioning normally.

If he could refine top-grade pills before, this one is the best of the best.

Its interior faintly possesses the spiritual essence that only a Xuan-level elixir can have.

It possesses approximately two-tenths of the power of a Xuan-grade item.

That's enough!

The next step is drug testing.

Luo Fan tightened his fingertips, creating cracks on the surface of the pill. Just as the violent, intense heat within was about to burst forth…

He pushed open the window and swung his arms.

"Get out of here!"

The pill pierced the night, flying in a parabolic arc towards the courtyard.

Luo Fan hid under the window, covering his ears with his hands.

At the same instant.

Liu Linglong's illusion array mark was now complete, and pink light shone from her fingertips.

"go!"

The mark drifted towards the alchemy room.

Before Liu Linglong could even catch her breath, her beautiful eyes suddenly widened and stared.
