What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Chapter 111 Pill Completion

Yu Jiuyou stepped forward, his black robe trailing on the ground without making a sound.

Her aloof and languid demeanor remained, but now she exuded a more solemn air.

Lin Xiao followed closely behind, his eyes curiously surveying the rear hall of the Netherworld Palace, his heart filled with anticipation and trepidation.

This is where Yu Jiuyou refines pills, and it is also where Qin Yanan's hope for restoring her cultivation lies.

Unlike the gloomy and desolate front hall, the rear hall exuded a warm and spiritual aura, dispelling the surrounding chill.

The hall was spacious and empty, with an ancient and majestic alchemy furnace standing in the very center.

Lin Xiao looked over and saw that the alchemy furnace was dark blue all over, and its surface was covered with complicated runes.

Its ancient simplicity exudes majesty, and one look is enough to tell that it is no ordinary alchemy furnace.

Below the alchemy furnace is a circular stove.

There was no open flame inside, but a scorching heat lingered, with faint, dark red flame phantoms flickering at the bottom of the stove.

That is the Netherworld Fire exclusive to the Netherworld Sect. It has an extremely high temperature and can be precisely controlled, making it an excellent source of fire for refining secret pills.

On either side of the alchemy furnace, there are two exquisitely carved jade stands.

Various bottles and jars were neatly arranged on top, containing all sorts of medicinal herbs and ingredients.

Even the rich aroma of medicine in the air, mixed with the scorching heat of the Netherworld Fire, invigorated the spirit.

"This is the 'Mysterious Yin Furnace' of the Netherworld Palace, a treasure passed down from the heyday of the Netherworld Sect."

"Only this furnace can gather the spiritual energy of the Azure Profound Realm and stabilize the pill's energy; it can barely withstand the refining power of the Soul-Returning Pill."

Yu Jiuyou stopped and gestured for Lin Xiao to look at the alchemy furnace. His tone was calm, but he couldn't hide a hint of pride.

"The Rejuvenation Pill is an ancient secret pill. When it is made, it must be guided by the Netherworld Fire, gather the spiritual power of heaven and earth, and precisely control the temperature of each step."

The slightest mistake could result in the destruction of the elixir and death; even with the aid of the Profound Yin Furnace, the difficulty remains extremely high.

Lin Xiao nodded respectfully, his gaze fixed on the Xuan Yin Furnace, his heart filled with increasing excitement.

"I will follow your instructions, sir. I will not say a word or disturb you while you are refining the pills."

Yu Jiuyou glanced at him, said nothing more, and turned to walk to the jade shelf.

With a slight movement of his fingertips, several jade bottles flew out automatically and landed on the stone table next to the alchemy furnace.

She reached out slightly, and Lin Xiao immediately took out something he had prepared beforehand.

The three Netherworld Grasses glowed with a ghostly green light, and the chilling aura emanating from their leaves intertwined with the spiritual energy within the hall, forming a faint white mist.

The golden jade bottle containing the spiritual essence liquid was surrounded by a rich aura of spiritual energy.

The bottle was slightly opened, and a warm and mellow spiritual energy rushed out, causing the spiritual power around Lin Xiao to become restless.

"The refining of the Soul-Returning Pill requires first using the Netherworld Grass as a base, extracting its yin and cold energy to nourish the fragments of the spiritual root."

Then, using the spiritual essence liquid as a guide, the spiritual veins are reshaped and the damaged meridians are repaired.

Finally, seven auxiliary ingredients are added to harmonize Yin and Yang and stabilize the elixir energy.

As Yu Jiuyou spoke, she raised her hand and opened each of the jade bottles, taking out the auxiliary materials inside one by one.

The auxiliary materials were all rare spiritual materials, some gleaming with golden light and others exuding a purple aura.

Each of them exudes a remarkable spiritual energy, clearly treasures that Yu Jiuyou has kept for many years.

Yu Jiuyou gathered a wisp of black spiritual power at her fingertips and gently tapped the bottom of the stove.

The dark red Netherworld Flame surged instantly, and its scorching heat rushed towards him, causing Lin Xiao to instinctively take two steps back and circulate his spiritual power to resist.

The Netherworld Fire is unlike ordinary flames; it is not only extremely hot but also carries a chilling aura.

At this moment, the two auras intertwined, creating an eerie, scorching heat.

It can both refine the raw materials and preserve their original power.

"Look closely, the key to alchemy lies in the control of heat and precision; not a single step can be wrong."

Yu Jiuyou's tone became serious, his narrow phoenix eyes fixed on the Xuan Yin Furnace, and his aura became increasingly calm.

She was actually refining pills while simultaneously imparting her experience to Lin Xiao.

With a wave of her hand, three Netherworld Grasses slowly flew up and landed in the Profound Yin Furnace.

The Netherfire instantly enveloped the Nethergrass, and its eerie green leaves slowly unfurled in the flames.

The chilling energy inside was extracted little by little, turning into wisps of pale green mist that swirled and lingered within the furnace.

Lin Xiao held his breath, watching the changes inside the furnace intently, secretly marveling at the scene.

He had never witnessed the alchemy process before, and now, watching Yu Jiuyou's smooth and skillful operation, and seeing the Netherworld Grass slowly transform in the flames, he was filled with admiration.

As expected of a female demon, not only is her strength remarkable.

Even this alchemy technique is truly remarkable.

Yu Jiuyou twitched his fingertips, constantly adjusting the intensity of the Netherworld Fire, sometimes weakening it, sometimes strengthening it.

Her gaze was focused and serious, the languidness she had shown while watching the show was long gone.

"The Netherworld Grass is cold in nature and needs to be slowly refined over a low flame to extract its original cold energy. One must not be impatient, otherwise its medicinal effects will be damaged."

As she controlled the fire, she slowly said, "This Netherworld Grass is a spiritual material on the verge of extinction, and every trace of its essence is crucial."

If the extraction is not done properly, even if the subsequent steps are perfect, the Resurrection Pill cannot be refined.

Time passed slowly, and the atmosphere inside the hall gradually became heavy.

The moonlight from the Cangxuan Realm shone through the windows of the rear hall, intertwining with the spiritual light inside the furnace to create a strange interplay of light and shadow.

Four hours have passed since Lin Xiao followed Yu Jiuyou into the inner hall.

Yu Jiuyou maintained the same posture throughout, focusing intently on controlling the fire to refine the pills.

Not only was his spiritual energy greatly depleted, but his face also turned somewhat pale.

But her gaze remained firm and focused.

"That's about it," Yu Jiuyou said softly, a hint of relief in her voice.

She raised her hand to form the final incantation, and her fingertips heavily touched the Xuan Yin Furnace.

"Condensing Pill!"

As soon as she finished speaking, a dazzling pale blue light burst forth from the Xuan Yin Furnace.

The beam of light burst through the furnace opening, illuminating the entire rear hall and even penetrating the roof of the Netherworld Hall.

Then, a dazzling pillar of light formed in the night sky of the Cangxuan Realm.

Within the pillar of light, a round and plump pill could be vaguely seen, slowly rotating.

Its surface shimmered with a faint spiritual light, interspersed with a hint of golden halo.

That was the aura of the Spirit Marrow Liquid, perfectly blended with the chilling energy of the Netherworld Grass, forming the unique aura of the Rejuvenation Pill.

The ghostly fire gradually subsided and eventually returned to calm.

As the lid of the Xuan Yin Furnace slowly opened, an extremely rich medicinal fragrance instantly gushed out, engulfing the entire Netherworld Palace.

The aroma of the medicine is warm and mellow, with a hint of chilliness.

Just one breath is enough to refresh the mind and body and make one's spiritual energy flow smoothly.

Lin Xiao, who was closest to the medicine, felt his damaged consciousness being nourished by the medicinal fragrance, and it recovered most of its strength in an instant.

A pale blue pill, shimmering with golden light, slowly flew out of the Xuan Yin Furnace.

The pill was round and full, with a smooth, jade-like surface and faint runes engraved on it; it was indeed the Resurrection Pill!

The pills spun slowly in the air, emitting a rich spiritual energy and medicinal fragrance.

At the same time, the surrounding spiritual energy was converging towards the pill, forming a small vortex of spiritual energy, creating a truly awe-inspiring scene.

Yu Jiuyou raised her hand and inhaled, and the Soul-Returning Pill landed steadily in her palm.

She looked at the pill in her palm, and a smile finally appeared in her narrow phoenix eyes.

Though the smile was faint, it couldn't hide the joy in her heart.

Even for her, refining this Soul-Returning Pill required a great deal of effort.

It's already incredibly fortunate that we've succeeded on our first try.

"It's done...it really is done!" Lin Xiao looked at the Rejuvenation Pill in Yu Jiuyou's palm, trembling with excitement.

He strode forward, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy and gratitude, and said, "Thank you so much, sir! Thank you so much, sir! With this Resurrection Pill, Sister Ya Nan is saved! I will never forget your great kindness!"

Yu Jiuyou handed the Resurrection Pill to Lin Xiao, saying in a calm tone, "Don't be too happy yet. Although the Resurrection Pill has been refined, there is still a great risk when taking it."

Those whose spiritual roots are shattered and whose meridians are damaged will suffer pain from the impact of the pill's energy upon consuming it.

Lin Xiao took the Resurrection Pill with both hands and carefully held it in his palms.

As if holding the most precious treasure in the world, he said with unwavering determination, "I understand, and I will prepare carefully!"

The Rejuvenation Pill felt warm to the touch, carrying a faint spiritual energy, and a warm sensation emanated from my palm.

It then spread from his fingertips to his entire body, filling Lin Xiao with confidence.

Now, as long as this pill is brought back to reality, Qin Yanan can stand up again.

Then she transformed back into that spirited, dazzling, and extraordinary woman.

All my efforts and sacrifices have not been in vain.

Yu Jiuyou looked at his excited appearance and gently shook her head.

A complex emotion flashed in her eyes, but she quickly regained her previous languid demeanor and said:

"Alright, the pill is ready. You can leave now. Don't bother me any longer. I need to go back and watch my drama."

Lin Xiao bowed deeply to Yu Jiuyou and thanked him solemnly once again:

"Thank you for your help, sir. I'll take my leave now!"

After saying that, he carefully put away the Rejuvenation Pill and held it tightly in his palm.

After leaving the Netherworld Palace, I returned to the real world.
