Then when do you plan to fuse with him?
She asked.
No rush, the conditions aren’t ripe yet.
Mo Sha said.
Conditions? What conditions?
Could it be that he still had to wait for the right time and conditions to fuse with him?
Mo Sha understood what she was thinking in her heart and said,
He’s not able to do it right now. Neither are you.
I’m not?
Sima You Yue glared. Why were his words so ambiguous! It was a good thing she wasn’t a guy, or else she would be deathly depressed.
You are not strong enough. If you forcefully broke off the contract with me, you would be crippled even if you didn’t die.
Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue gaped. It was that dangerous? Thinking about how he said that Wu Lingyu wasn’t able to either, she asked,
Then what about Senior Brother? Why can’t he?
His strength has grown too quickly, and is has been very draining on his very weak soul. If I were to fuse with him how, he would directly turn to dust and I would face a similar end since I would be unable to complete my soul.
Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue was silent. They had already found the person, but they could not fuse.
Then what do we do now?
She asked.
Increase your strength. Help him nourish his soul.
Mo Sha said.
You want me to nourish his soul?
Sima You Yue was displeased,
Although that guy is my fellow disciple, he is still very hateful. What if I don’t want to?
You don’t have a choice.
Mo Sha said.
Really… Life is full of suffering and torment!
Sima You Yue lamented,
If I let Master and Senior Brother know about you, I wonder how they would be! Should I tell them?
What do you think?
Mo Sha returned the question, but his tone was rather certain.
Sigh, seeing how smart the two of them are, Senior Brother would be able to infer just be me giving him the soul fluid. I might as well be honest.
Sima You Yue messed up her hair and looked completely put out.
This Wu Lingyu was someone who had messed with her before, but she actually had to save him. In the past, she was also his protector, and thinking about it would just drive her crazy.
Sigh…
She let out a long sigh, but the frustration in her heart could not be let out.
When she heard Old Man Devil’s voice from belong the mountain, she knew he had come back. She stood up and went down the mountain.
You Yue, where did you go?
Bei Gong Tang asked when she saw that Sima You Yue had come back.
I went to the mountain peak for some fresh air.
Sima You Yue shook her head to show she was fine when she saw the look of concern in Bei Gong Tang’s eyes.
When she saw Old Man Devil, she secretly sighed again. If he knew that two of his disciples had relations to the Devil Clan, what would his reaction be.
Since you’re back, we can begin.
Old Man Devil took out an ancient furnace and started smelting there halfway up the mountain.
Sima You Yue focused all their attention unwaveringly on Old Man Devil as he refined the pill. This was the first time they had seen a ninth ranked alchemist refining pills and could learn quite a bit.
A hundred different kinds of ingredients were needed to refine the three yuan pill, and they all had to do with the soul. It was, overall, more difficult to refine this than other pills.
However, Old Man Devil’s every action was intentional. He threw in each ingredient as if they were free, and did not care whether or not it would not get refined properly. Furthermore, after he purified one ingredient, he wrapped it up in spiritual power and didn’t take it out to purify anymore.
It was now time to fuse the liquid essence using spirit power, but it would weaken the potency of the medicine. As such, one could only bundle it up and not fuse it. That was why it appeared more simple, but was actually more taxing on the alchemist.
One can even do this!
Sima You Yue touched her chin and learnt this degree of his control.
After Old Man Devil had finished fusing the ingredients, he began to bind them. This process was slow, and he was only done after three to four hours.
After that was the stage of congealing it into powder, and Old Man Devil became casual again. However, his each and every action held many small complex parts. One burst of spirit power would follow every action, and it was emptied into the ancient furnace. It looked chaotic to the eyes of these two and they could not clearly see much of what he did.
As he was refining the pill, the sky suddenly became dark. A patch of cloud started to form in the sky above them.
Pill Tribulation!
Both Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang cried out. Refining a Three Yuan Pill actually caused lightning to form in the sky. This proved that the pill’s rank was at least seven.
Old Man Devil saw the cloud in the sky as well. However, he did not take too much notice in it and continued to refine the pill.
The pill’s fragrance is wafting out.
Sima You Yue said as she smelled a waft of fragrance.
Bei Gong Tang smelled it as well. It was only a sniff, but she could feel her soul being refreshed. She felt unspeakable comfort and wondered what the effects would be of eating this pill.
Rise!
Old Man Devil cried out as a blast of spirit power bundled the Three Yuan Pill and rushed out of the furnace.
It was at this moment that from the Tribulation cloud struck three bolts of lightning that directly hit the Three Yuan Pill.
Hmph!
Old Man Devil leaped up as he swept his left sleeve and collected the Three Yuan Pill as his right hand released four attacks towards those three bolt of lightning, completely destroying it. The last attack targeted that Tribulation cloud and then… it escaped.
Sima You Yue and Bei Gong Tang watched it with wide eyes. They stared at Old Man Devil with jaws that almost hit the floor.
So cool!
Sima You Yue said with shock.
Spirit power directly chased away that Tribulation cloud.
Bei Gong Tang had also never seen such an awesome person before.
Her clan had someone who could refine pills before and she watched his form from a house far away. At that time, they had taken out a spirit tool to withstand the Tribulation, but Old Man Devil used his own power to chase away that Tribulation cloud.
Really was… too strong!
Old Man Devil landed on the ground. He took out a jade bottle and kept the pill away safely with a face full of satisfaction.
Ha ha, I have completed my main mission this time!
Old Man Devil said with a wide smile.
Sima You Yue could feel that he was genuinely very happy and knew he was happy because he was able to prolong Wu Lingyu’s life. She figured that, although they always called Wu Lingyu a damned brat with every single sentence he spoke, his heart truly cared about that guy.
She touched her devil snare bracelet and was a bit more confident.
Alright, let’s head back.
Old Man Devil kept the furnace away and said.
Master, won’t you give the pill to Senior Brother?
Sima You Yue asked.
Although Wu Lingyu appeared okay she knew that his condition was extremely bad and his soul was very weak.
How could I go find that brat, I get unwell when I see those from the Sage Pavilion.
Old Man Devil took out a sparkling translucent stone as he spoke, and inserted his spirit power. The stone began to release bright rays of light.
Damned brat, get your ass back to Dragon Mountain!
He shouted at the stone.
Wu Lingyu’s voice immediately came from the stone,
Old man, I’m busy right now. I’ll go look for you in a bit.
Sima You Yue was cross eyed. What kind of stone was this? It was so strange and it could communicate through long distances!
Better be quick, otherwise I’ll give the good stuff to your Senior Brother!
Old Man Devil said with a huff.
Okay, okay!
Sima You Yue beamed.
On the other side, Wu Lingyu heard Sima You Yue’s voice and it was as if he could see her beaming. He said with a lopsided smirk,
Do you still want to give me a bite?
Sima You Yue was angry. Was this guy saying that she had taken his things and that he was going to fight her again?
