"What is that?"
Lu Fuyue's eyes darkened slightly as she slowly spoke, "I need a drop of blood."
With that, she raised her hand and waved it. The alchemy furnace, which was pitch black and engraved with mysterious and ancient patterns, appeared out of thin air. Phoenix red lotus divine fire surrounded it, and soon the temperature inside the alchemy furnace rose.
The blood of his heart that he had just used to form the bond flew out from his tightly clenched hand and fell into the alchemy furnace.
His expression changed drastically, and with all his remaining strength, he tried to grasp the drop of heart's blood. But Si You swiftly stepped forward, and a sharp longsword swiftly severed his last remaining hand.
The next second, the bloody severed arm rolled off, and the armless man fell into a pool of blood again. The physical pain was nothing compared to the tearing pain in his heart.
Instantly, Ming Jue's eyes widened, and the overwhelming taste of blood surged from his throat. He watched helplessly as the blood he had used to form the bond was refined by the alchemy furnace.
Blood dripped from the blade of the longsword in Si You's hand, soaking the ground. A cold voice rang out, "Ming Jue, your blood has ultimately stained my Xuan You Sword!"
At the same time, Jiang Xun, exuding a murderous aura, walked into the main hall, holding a long sword stained with blood.
Inside the main hall, the cultivators from Zhongdu City knelt in a dense crowd, their eyes filled with excitement, "Welcome, Your Majesty."
Now, Ming Jue is a prisoner, and the territory and power of Nandu City are all in their hands. It is estimated that soon only their king will remain in the Underworld, and no one will dare to challenge him.
Their social status will also rise accordingly.
Jiang Xun immediately saw the man lying in a pool of blood, then he saw Lu Fuyue refining pills, and... Si You.
Jiang Xun paused for a moment, walked up, casually looked the man on the ground over, and only after confirming that he was powerless to fight back did he put away his longsword.
He looked at his kneeling subordinate, his eyes flashing with malice, and said coldly, "Those who disobey me throughout the entire city, kill them!"
"Your subordinate obeys."
The next second, screams rang out one after another outside the palace, and bright red blood flowed throughout the entire palace. At the same time, the ghost cultivators of Nandu City fled frantically.
The heavens of the underworld have changed after all.
...
A shooting star streaked across the dark sky of the underworld.
Si You raised her eyes and glanced in that direction, then loosened her grip on the long sword, which clattered to the ground.
She remained silent for a moment, then took a step forward, formed a hand seal, and a huge black mist emanated from her body.
"By my command, all ghosts obey! Shatter their souls and use them as a sacrifice to bring them back to life!"
The black mist seeped into Ming Jue's body, coursing through his meridians. Crackling sounds rang out one after another, as if the pain of being sliced apart by knives was gradually sweeping over him.
He lay half-dead on the ground, listening to the sounds of swords clashing around him. Everything before his eyes blurred, and his consciousness gradually faded into nothingness. The only thing he remembered was those hateful eyes.
Si You raised her hand and waved it. Her brother's corpse, along with the ice bed, appeared in the blood-stained hall. The next second, all the ghosts wailed. Ming Jue's soul was torn into countless pieces, which then turned into specks of light to nourish Si Ming's body.
Inside the hall, a strong, cold wind blew and a chill suddenly rose.
...
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Lu Fuyue's forehead, and her face gradually paled due to the depletion of her spiritual energy. Her eyes were fixed on the alchemy furnace, and she circulated her cultivation technique to ensure that every bit of spiritual energy was sufficient to mobilize the spiritual essence of the Rejuvenating Pill, and then began to condense the pill.
Jiang Xun's lips were pressed into a straight line, his eyes were filled with dark and turbulent emotions, and his hands hanging at his sides tightened involuntarily. He hadn't expected that she would agree to help Si You refine the Rejuvenation Pill.
As far as he knew, the Rejuvenation Pill was not so easy to refine; if one was not careful, one might incur karmic consequences and be subjected to pill lightning.
It seems that the lightning that appeared above her courtyard last time was the lightning from the Rejuvenation Pill.
A faint fragrance of cinnamon began to waft through the air.
Si You's face lit up with joy, but when she saw Lu Fuyue's swaying body, which was still struggling to stay upright, her heart jumped into her throat. She subconsciously held her breath, afraid of disturbing Lu Fuyue's alchemy.
Jiang Xun kept his eyes fixed on Lu Fuyue, ready to stop her at the slightest sign of trouble.
The entire hall was silent, with only the three of them remaining. Everyone else stood guard outside the hall, preventing anyone from getting any closer. Inside, you could hear a pin drop.
The appearance of the fragrance of the pill does not mean that it has been successfully refined. The pill without a grade still needs to be refined by the fusion of spiritual power and divine fire, so that the great Dao patterns that belong to it will gradually appear.
The Rejuvenation Pill must have nine stages to be considered truly successfully refined.
Lu Fuyue bit her lip tightly, and before she knew it, blood was drawn. However, her eyes became even more determined. She formed hand seals again and channeled the little spiritual power she had left into the alchemy furnace.
Jiang Xun's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took a step forward, wanting to stop her from continuing, but he quickly realized that, based on his understanding of her, this would only harm her.
The path she cultivates allows her no retreat!
Time passed slowly, and just when she was about to give up, the last golden Dao Dao Dan pattern was successfully engraved on the Rejuvenation Pill.
A brilliant golden light shone forth, and the golden-red Rejuvenation Pill suddenly flew out of the alchemy furnace and into the air outside the hall. A dark, oppressive cloud of tribulation followed, accompanied by terrifying flashes of lightning.
Lu Fuyue frowned slightly. Just as she was about to fly up to resist the lightning, someone grabbed her and flew ahead of her to face the tribulation.
"Fairy Lu, I should be the one to undergo this tribulation!"
Lu Fuyue's expression changed slightly. She had refined the Rejuvenation Pill, so it was only right that she should undergo the tribulation.
Although someone like You can also form a pill, the power of the lightning tribulation will be increased more than tenfold.
Jiang Xun walked up to Lu Fuyue and explained, "Don't worry, Si You is not weak."
Lu Fuyue pursed her lips slightly, without replying.
A cold wind blew in from inside the hall, making my skin sting.
Si You held the Xuan You Sword and calmly slashed down the lightning tribulation that was about to strike the Rejuvenation Pill. Although her cultivation was not as good as Jiang Xun's, it was not bad either.
This elixir was created because of her, so she should bear all the consequences.
In no time, the lightning tribulation dissipated, and a sliver of light appeared on the horizon from the thick dark clouds.
In the end, blood still spilled from Siyou's lips, and she suffered severe internal injuries. However, she looked down at the golden-red pill in her palm and smiled sincerely.
We finally succeeded!
...
After everything was over, Lu Fuyue sat cross-legged in the main hall to absorb the spiritual energy from the spirit stones, which finally helped to calm her body's internal energy.
Due to excessive energy expenditure, the spirit stones around her turned to dust in no time.
Seeing this, Jiang Xun silently took out a large pile of top-grade spirit stones from his storage space and placed them next to Lu Fuyue for her to absorb.
Lu Fuyue closed her eyes, sensing the increased spiritual energy around her. Her brow furrowed slightly for a moment, then relaxed. Spirit stones were nothing; she had plenty more. She could return them to him later.
