When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

Bai Yuhe's entire mind was focused on the alchemy furnace.

The three clumps of medicinal paste shrank smaller and smaller, gradually condensing into three pill blanks the size of longan fruits, with a faint spiritual light flowing across their surfaces.

Step two, done!

Bai Yuhe took a deep breath, his gaze becoming more solemn than ever before.

The third step is [integration].

He reached out and beckoned, and the last piece of material on the stone platform flew into his palm.

A strange beast core the size of a pigeon's egg, entirely crimson, seemingly containing a mass of magma.

The Breakthrough Pill uses the crystal core of a strange beast as its core.

The crystal core contains the ferocious power of the beast in its lifetime. Only by completely subduing it and then fully integrating it with the medicinal power can the elixir be made.

But the power of strange beasts is unruly and difficult to subdue.

The instant the crystal nucleus enters the furnace!

"boom!"

A violent burst of energy exploded out, causing the entire alchemy furnace to tremble violently!

The spiritual light on the surface of the three pill blanks flickered wildly, as if they were about to shatter at any moment.

The power of the crystal core, like a trapped beast, rampaged through the furnace, frantically tearing at the medicinal power that enveloped it.

The white crane unleashed its spiritual power, transforming it into a large net that enveloped the violent energy, gradually pressing it into the dantian.

As the fusion was completed, the spiritual light of the elixir shone a little brighter.

The two ingredients blend together, and the fragrance of the elixir begins to emerge...

But the trapped beast's counterattack became increasingly fierce.

Bai Yuhe's sea of ​​consciousness felt as if it were being pierced by countless steel needles, and his mental energy was being consumed rapidly at a visible speed.

70%... 80%...

His consciousness began to blur, and his vision went black intermittently. The mental net that protected the power of the crystal core began to loosen slightly.

Just one step away...

Just one last step!

The white crane gritted its teeth, its tongue bitten raw, the taste of blood filling its mouth.

He had only one belief in his mind.

Jiang Feng sheltered everyone from the wind and rain outside, single-handedly bearing the burden of the entire Jishetang.

I, Bai Yuhe, cannot forever remain a useless person who is protected behind others!

I want to be his help!

This Limit-Breaking Pill must be refined!

"boom!"

Just as his mental strength was about to run out.

A gentle yet vast power suddenly awakened from the depths of his blood!

The white crane was surrounded by a brilliant blue light!

Behind him, an aged, ethereal figure slowly emerged.

The figure carried a medicine basket on his back and held a wooden staff, tasting hundreds of herbs and identifying hundreds of poisons, showing compassion for all living beings.

Although it was just a phantom, it possessed an unparalleled majesty that looked down upon the ancient path of medicine!

The Medicine Emperor Physique, Awakened!

In an instant, Bai Yuhe's mind was shaken, as if a door that had been sealed for thousands of years had been pushed open, and countless profound characters poured into his sea of ​​consciousness like a galaxy.

That was a Buddhist scripture.

The Shennong Medicine Emperor Classic!

The true lineage of the Medicine Emperor!

The scripture opened itself, and on the first page, eight ancient characters shone brightly: "Plants and trees have hearts, and all medicines pay homage to them."

At this moment, when Bai Yuhe looked at the alchemy furnace again, the entire world's pharmacology seemed to have completely changed in his eyes.

Every flow of the medicinal liquid inside the furnace, the strength of every flame, and the trajectory of every struggle of the crystal core's power are all clearly visible, as if examining the lines on the palm of your hand!

His originally depleted spiritual energy surged wildly like a river flowing into the sea, breaking through the invisible barrier that had plagued countless alchemists throughout their lives.

Fourth-grade alchemist!

The white crane's eyes flashed with a sharp light.

"Even plants and trees have a heart, and all medicines converge upon it—condense for me!"

With a low shout, he suddenly tightened the net of mental energy.

The crystal core power that was just now so violent and unparalleled has now become as docile as a hundred rivers flowing into the sea under the pressure of the Medicine Emperor, and has obediently merged into the three pill blanks!

The alchemy furnace trembled, and four patterns of alchemy appeared one by one on the surface of the alchemy blank.

An extremely rich fragrance of cinnamon rose into the sky, penetrating the rooftops and spreading across half the long street.

"Clang!"

The furnace lid popped open, and three crimson-gold pills rose into the air, hovering in mid-air, their bodies shrouded in cloud patterns and radiating spiritual light.

Fourth-grade elixir.

Breakthrough Pill, complete!

……

The fragrance of the elixir has dissipated.

Looking at the three pills, Bai Yuhe's tense nerves, which had been taut for several days, finally relaxed, and a relieved smile appeared on his pale face.

at last……

This can help Jiang Feng.

He turned his head instinctively.

Outside the glass, a familiar figure had been standing there for who knows how long.

Eyes facing each other.

Jiang Feng looked at the sweat-soaked boy in the alchemy room and smiled.

In that instant, Bai Yuhe felt all the fatigue of the past few days disappear, and his face was filled with joy that almost overflowed.

"Jiang...Jiang Feng!"

He propped himself up and tried to get up to open the door.

Suddenly, everything went black.

He fell straight down.

"Bang!"

The door to the alchemy room was practically kicked open.

Jiang Feng's figure was so fast that it left only a blur. Before the boy landed, he caught him and pulled him into his arms.

"Hanatsuru! Are you alright?"

The boy in her arms trembled, slowly opened his eyes, and weakly shook his head.

His lips were slightly pale, and he didn't even have the strength to speak.

Jiang Feng sent a wisp of true energy into his body, and his heart sank.

His qi and blood were severely depleted, and his mental energy was almost exhausted. He was like a lamp that had run out of oil.

This isn't alchemy; it's burning your life away!

"Junior Yuhe!"

Lin Youwei rushed in as well, and her eyes instantly turned red when she saw this scene.

"He's locked himself in the alchemy room for the past few days, barely even drinking a sip of water... I've tried to persuade him, but he says..."

He said he didn't want to disappoint you.

Jiang Feng felt as if he had been hit hard in the chest with a heavy hammer.

That silly boy!

Without saying a word, he took out a bottle of Qi and Blood potion from his pocket, pried open the stopper, and carefully brought it to Bai Yuhe's lips: "Drink it."

The warm medicine entered his throat, turning into a warm current that spread into his body, and Bai Yuhe's pale face finally improved a little.

It was only then that he realized he was lying in Jiang Feng's arms.

The boy's face flushed red instantly, and he hurriedly asked, "Jiang Feng... when did you get here?"

"Just arrived."

Bai Yuhe breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly remembered something and struggled to sit up: "Pill... pill!"

He took out three pills from the furnace.

Three perfectly round Breakthrough Pills, with a base of crimson gold, flowing cloud patterns, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance.

Jiang Feng took one, and the moment his fingertips touched the pill, a slight thought crossed his mind.

This Breakthrough Pill... seems to be different from the ones he took before.

Within the body of the elixir, a subtle spiritual energy flows, perfectly harmonious and flawless, almost like the natural essence of the Dao.

next second.

【Ding! 】

In my mind, the system's notification sound suddenly rang out.

[Top-grade Breakthrough Pill detected!]

[Created by the future Medicine Emperor, Bai Yuhe!]

[Mission triggered!]

Jiang Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
