I don't know how much time has passed.
The spiritual herbs inside the Nine Nether Cauldron had mostly dissolved, and now it was just a matter of waiting for their essence to condense together. Ji Jiuying stared at the alchemy furnace, her forehead damp with sweat, the stray hairs clinging to her brow.
The process of forming the core cannot have any mistakes. The spiritual energy gathers, like a storm coming. In the sky above the snow-capped mountain, dark clouds are covered and lightning rolls wildly in the clouds, making a loud rumbling sound.
Ji Jiuying's pupils constricted, her body trembled slightly, and her mental energy began to show signs of fatigue. If her mental energy supply could not be maintained at this moment, and there was a mistake in forming her core, then all her efforts would be in vain, and she would suffer a backlash.
Ji Jiuying's face was somewhat pale. She gritted her teeth and endured the tearing pain in her mind. Sweat dripped down her face, and her eyelashes trembled slightly.
Warm spiritual energy emanated from behind her, enveloping her and soothing her entire body. The tearing sensation in her mind was relieved, but that was enough.
Unlike ordinary pills, the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill is slow to form and requires a lot of mental and physical energy.
After an unknown amount of time, the thunder on the snow-capped mountain peak grew louder and louder. Suddenly, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the sky and struck the snow-capped mountain directly, causing the earth to shake.
At the city lord's mansion.
The scene was one of utter devastation, with corpses strewn everywhere.
Thunder rumbled, and the blood-covered man frowned, seemingly annoyed that the thunder in the sky was disturbing him. Hua Shi'an slightly opened his eyes.
He slowly sat up, his face pale from the pain all over his body. He took out a pill from his spatial storage, poured it into his blood-soaked hand, and swallowed it in one gulp.
With a sinister look in his eyes, he dragged his injured body step by step to the bed, closed his eyes and began to cultivate to heal his wounds.
The lightning and thunder in the sky couldn't calm him down at all.
Who exactly is that man? Why was his strength not suppressed at all when he entered the city lord's mansion? He is the first person whose strength was not suppressed.
Hua Shi'an recalled the scene when the man entered, and how he attacked him without saying a word, each move ruthless and deadly, yet each move showed mercy. Who was he?
Rumble!
Hua Shi'an then noticed the thunderclouds on the summit of the snow-capped mountain; these were crimson clouds!
Hua Shi'an suddenly remembered Gu Qingfeng's recent strange behavior and the mysterious man from today.
It's the Snow Palace!
Hua Shi'an immediately got up and, ignoring his injuries, headed straight for the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
As bolts of lightning struck down, Ji Jiuying controlled the heat while simultaneously channeling her spiritual energy to cultivate the third level of the Divine Control Technique: Heavenly Thunder's Wrath.
The lightning struck the alchemy furnace while simultaneously being absorbed by it.
Gong Mingyue stared at Ji Jiuying in surprise. This girl was always giving him surprises. However, this girl was really bold. She dared to multitask while refining such a difficult pill.
Gu Qingfeng was both excited and nervous. He hadn't expected that Ji Jiuying's refining of the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill would attract pill lightning, but he was also worried that the alchemy furnace would not be able to withstand the pressure of the heavenly lightning and would explode. Especially when he saw her multitasking, he was so scared that he didn't even dare to breathe.
Ji Jiuying naturally knew what she was doing. This Nine Nether Cauldron was no ordinary alchemy furnace, and there was no way it could explode.
The pills in the alchemy furnace have already formed, and now only the final step remains: to fuse Hei Xiangling's essence and blood into the pills.
Ji Jiuying condensed the essence blood of the Black Fragrant Feather and suspended it above the Nine Nether Cauldron.
Gu Qingfeng was extremely nervous. His hands turned white from the excessive force he exerted, but he didn't feel a thing.
The essence of the sacred beast slowly fell into the cauldron. Suddenly, a dazzling light flashed on the summit of the snow mountain. A domineering and earth-shattering roar, accompanied by a powerful pressure, spread outwards. Hua Shi'an, who was halfway there, was even blasted away ten meters away. The people of the far northern capital at the foot of the mountain were all awakened by the roar. Looking at the strange noise in the sky, they thought that a powerful spirit beast had invaded the far northern capital.
This extraordinary phenomenon shocked the entire far northern capital.
What is that?
"Such a powerful aura and oppressive force! And this is merely a phantom."
"What kind of being is it?"
Some experts in the far north noticed this powerful aura and headed straight for the summit of the snow-capped mountain to investigate.
In the light of the sky, a huge, dark phantom soared through the air, its gaping maw roaring toward an unknown direction. An incomparably powerful and terrifying pressure spread in all directions. In the mountains a thousand miles away, some spiritual cultivators and spirit beasts were fighting fiercely when the spirit beasts suddenly stopped fighting and knelt down, bowing toward the direction of the far northern capital.
The spiritual cultivators who had undergone training were astonished, and the spirit beasts not far away also knelt in the same direction.
What's going on?
"Brother, should we kill this spirit beast or not?"
"·····"
Star Academy.
Guixu Hall.
Yu Bugui suddenly opened his eyes, a blur flashed by, and the next second his figure appeared in the sky.
In the distance, the sky was ablaze with light, lightning flashed and thunder roared, accompanied by a powerful roar that filled people with terror.
Yu Bugui squinted his eyes, his imposing aura pressing down on the thunderclouds.
"A sacred beast... that's quite unexpected."
Hua Shi'an gritted his teeth. His intuition told him that the strange phenomenon must have originated in the Snow Palace. What was Gu Qingfeng doing?
The moment the sacred beast's essence blood fell into the pill, the entire cauldron trembled, and the aftershocks rebounded onto Ji Jiuying, causing a metallic taste to rise in her throat and blood to trickle from the corner of her mouth.
Lightning struck the cauldron mercilessly, and Ji Jiuying's forehead was covered in sweat, her back already soaked with sweat.
As she absorbed more and more lightning power, the spiritual and lightning power in her dantian seemed to be about to surge out of her body. Each surge caused waves. Ji Jiuying knew that this was not a good time to break through, so she forcefully suppressed the power. The blood at the corner of her mouth was even redder than before.
Bang! Hua Shi'an stumbled into the Snow Palace. When he saw that Gu Qingfeng, the man, and Ji Jiuying were in cahoots, anger surged from the bottom of his heart, but an invisible barrier blocked his way.
"Gu Qingfeng, what are you doing?"
Gu Qingfeng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Hua Shi'an was still alive. In order not to disturb Ji Jiuying, Gu Qingfeng came to the barrier and said, "Hua Shi'an, stop causing trouble. Wuyou will wake up soon."
Unfortunately, Hua Shi'an didn't believe him at all. He liked Ji Jiuying, and he admitted that Ji Jiuying was very talented, but he just couldn't believe that she could refine the Nine-Turn Rejuvenation Pill.
He could also refine that person, but he couldn't gather all the necessary ingredients, especially the essence blood of a divine beast. Gu Qingfeng was clearly just listening to her nonsense.
"Gu Qingfeng, if anything happens to Wuyou, I will definitely kill you!"
Hua Shi'an exuded murderous intent, gathering spiritual energy in his hands. A powerful pressure spread out, and the ball of spiritual energy in his hands surged rapidly towards the barrier, slamming it hard against it.
