Sure, here is the translation of the provided text:
...
"If such a large pill furnace explodes, I will surely lose that poor little life..." In a blink, he recalled what the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak had said. This furnace would never explode under any circumstances. Only then did he calm down a bit.
"There shouldn’t be any problem, right?" He had already started to regret investing so many medicinal plants. Lack of control was definitely one of his shortcomings. However, at present, the pill furnace didn’t seem to be at risk of exploding.
He waited another four days. The furnace was still trembling, with the range of deformation increasing from three meters to thirty meters. The high temperature even slowly melted parts of the nearby rock walls. Every moment, the heat seemed to be increasing. Yan Xiaobao was braving the storm, his eyes already filled with fear.
He considered stopping the mixing process but couldn’t intervene. The spiritual medicine inside the pill furnace had already started to take shape. He could only imagine how the temperature would rise since the medicine truly formed.
Yan Xiaobao took long, tense breaths. He felt like he was sitting atop a volcano ready to erupt at any time. Nervously, he retreated until he stepped out of the Immortal Cave. Finally, he prepared a tall, mysterious expression and was ready to leave Little Swamp Peak as he stepped out of the Magic Array.
To him, Little Swamp Peak was now too dangerous to stay.
On his way out, a Great Elder discovered him and flew over to stop him from leaving.
He politely said: "Brother Nightcrypt, where should you go now? Have you finished preparing our medicine?"
Yan Xiaobao was nervous, but his expression didn’t show it at all. He held his hands tightly behind his back and calmly said: "Don’t worry. The preparation process is complete. However, the development of a hundred Blood Replenishing Pills will take more time. In three months, I will personally come back to retrieve the pills from the furnace.
"Meanwhile, I will head to Nameless Peak. After all, I promised to prepare medicine for them as well." Although Yan Xiaobao was forced to scramble for excuses, his expression was as usual. The Great Elder of Little Swamp Peak was still a bit suspicious, but Yan Xiaobao’s reasoning didn’t reveal any flaws.
He said: "In that case, Brother Nightcrypt," I will personally accompany you to Nameless Peak!" He still felt something was wrong, but he gestured for Yan Xiaobao to follow him to Nameless Peak.
Yan Xiaobao blinked, then nodded, and followed. Soon, he reached the border of Nameless Peak, where a dwarf Elder met him. It was only then that Yan Xiaobao could breathe a sigh of relief. Even as he continued to Nameless Peak, he turned to look back at that Elder of Little Swamp Peak.
He said: "By the way, in the next three months, no one should enter that Immortal Cave. Absolutely do not let anyone touch the pill furnace. The pill furnace might suddenly explode; otherwise, you’ll be responsible!" Thus, he turned his gaze away and followed the dwarf to Nameless Peak. He also decided never to return to Little Swamp Peak.
"If what the Bloodline Master of Little Swamp Peak said is true, then the pill furnace will not explode. Ultimately, the medicinal medicine will be made. If that pill furnace explodes, it’s not my fault!" The more he thought, the more he believed he was right. Feeling better, he followed Nameless Peak’s Great Elder to meet the local Bloodline Master.
In line with a previous agreement, the Bloodline Master gave Yan Xiaobao a Stone Statue Ghost. Moreover, they opened an Immortal Cave beside the little finger for him to prepare potions.
By the time he started working, news of his arrival had already spread across "Nameless Peak", causing the cultivators there to take deep breaths. They already felt that they would go crazy in the coming days.
They knew Yan Xiaobao’s nickname "Plague Demon" and heard that his pill preparations were accompanied by terror, akin to the suffering made by a Clan Leader. All of them felt like they were facing a crisis of life and death.
Cultivators in Nameless Peak began reflecting on everything that happened on Middle Peak and Corpse Peak. They were not as confident as the cultivators of Little Swamp Peak, so they quickly shook their heads.
"Plaguedevil is here! The terror his pill preparations bring is unimaginable. Remember Zhao Shuimu of Corpse Peak? He hallucinated himself as a cluster of Spirit Grass! Even to this day, if he sees Spirit Grass, he sometimes freezes...
"It’s nothing. You know Zhou Yibiao, right? Sometimes, while sleeping at night, he screams that he’s Yan Xiaobao.
"In fact, many Middle Cultivators have recovered but have yet to grow their hair back, occasionally experiencing diarrhea. Actually, on more than one occasion, I’ve seen someone from Middle Peak gaining the upper hand in a fight, but suddenly looking extremely uncomfortable. You know what I mean?"
Such discussions spread like wildfire. As for the cultivators actually living near the place where Yan Xiaobao prepared pills, their scalps tingled like crazy, and many just left. Soon after, usually occupying Nameless Peak, more than half of the cultivators had abandoned their Immortal Caves and stayed with those they knew in the Inner Sect.
Yan Xiaobao was shocked by how quiet Nameless Peak had become. Near his Immortal Cave, he couldn’t find any signs of life. He cleared his throat, thinking to himself: "I haven’t even started doing anything yet! Why are these people so anxious?
"I prepared medicine at Little Swamp Peak, and nothing happened!" A bit annoyed, he sat cross-legged, looking around the Immortal Cave for a while until his gaze settled on a corner far away.
