After 49 days, it will become a pill!
Sixth Elder smiled as he stared at Middle Stream Cauldron.
And more than a thousand disciples subconsciously smiled too, after looking at such a phenomenon.

Sixth Elder you have worked hard!
A few Elders from the Nine Pinnacles Mountain looked at one another, before proclaiming to Sixth Elder.

Five sects same root, we are all one family, you don’t have to be too polite.
Sixth Elder waved his hands, as he found a place to sit down on.
49 days!
While this period was not too short, it was not long either, especially after becoming a Sage. 49 days would pass by in just a snap of a fingers.
Naturally Sixth Elder would not mind about the duration, as he had already prepared to protect the pill for the full 49 days, without leaving its side.
It was a sunny day, and a good weather for such an occasion.
Within the Middle Stream Cauldron, Fang Zhengzhi’s body was curled up. The black chains were stiff, and the interior heat was ever increasing.
Painful!
Really painful!
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not make any sounds, because he had already lost consciousness. In his mind, the world resembled that for a furnace.
Countless burning flames surrounded him, and there was a red river flowing on the ground, emitting gushes of hot air.
Magma.
However, the magma seemed a little weird, as each line of magma was very detailed and sophisticated. It seemed to form a gigantic spider web when merged with one another.
At this moment, a white figure appeared in his sight. Clothed in a snow-white dress, with lucious black hair resting on the waist.
A beautiful figure.
More importantly, her surroundings contained two different silver and purple flames, identical to the flames in the Middle Stream Cauldron.

Who exactly are you?!
Fang Zhengzhi recalled a similar scenario outside the Northern Mountain Village, when he was trapped by Yun Qingwu using 30 pieces of the Heaven Dao Sage Tablet.
The white-dressed lady did not say anything, and unlike previously, she merely stood quietly at her original spot. Then, she slowly turned her body around.
Instantly, Fang Zhengzhi could see her appearance.
Exquisite and beautiful, with a pair of bright eyes. It was a familiar face, but it felt unfamiliar to him at the same time.
It was familiar because Fang Zhengzhi felt that her appearance was similar to that of Chi Guyan’s, but it was unfamiliar because her vibe seemed completely different. The temperament of the white-dressed lady seemed colder and more indifferent.
During the first encounter, Fang Zhengzhi saw the lady’s appearance clearly from her front, but he had felt that it seemed mysterious.
He seemed to remember that their first encounter was at the Divine Constabulary’s parallel dimension, in the ‘Heavenly Treasure Hall’. Thereafter, the white-dressed lady always repeatedly appear in his mind.
Who was she exactly?
Why did she look similar to Chi Guyan, but their temperament seemed completely different.
Fang Zhengzhi really wanted to get this straight.
However, the white-dressed lady had no intention of replying Fang Zhengzhi at all. She merely turned her body around, and she walked towards Fang Zhengzhi slowly.
Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes were wide in disbelief.
Because, in the her hand, there was a treasure stone emitting golden rays of light. Its interior seemed to have different pictures revolving within, but it was difficult to discern its identity.

Spiritual Jade!
Fang Zhengzhi naturally recognised this treasure stone, because that was the Spiritual Jade that he had retrieved from the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.
However, he did not understand how the Spiritual Jade had reached the hands of the white-dressed lady.
How did it happen?
Was it not thrown into The Vast World by him?
Wait!
If the Spiritual Jade was really inside The Vast World, then does it not mean that the white-dressed lady was not just a mere figment of his imagination, but that just like the Spiritual Jade, she was located inside The Vast World?
This lady…..
Lives in The Vast World, does it mean that she is inside my heart?
This was not really conforming to logic? How did this happen, was the lady not in the parallel dimension ‘Heavenly Treasure Hall’? How did she go to The Vast World?
The pearl!
Yes, when he was at the bottom of the lake at the Heavenly Treasure Hall, he seemed to have taken a pearl, but he had never seen it after, and it felt as though it had completely disappeared.
Was the pearl actually the white-dressed lady?!

Wait quietly.
Just then, a soft yet clear voice seemed to ring beside his ears.

What?
Fang Zhengzhi naturally knew that the voice originated from the mouth of the white-dressed lady.
However, this led him to feel a little surprised, because it was the first instance communicating with the white-dressed lady.
Not only did they looked at each other face to face, she still talked to him?
What exactly was she thinking?

Keeping one.
The lady ignored Fang Zhengzhi’s question, and she merely looked at him quietly, before mumbing to herself.

Keeping one?!
Fang Zhengzhi shuddered, as naturally he understood the meaning of those words. However, he did not know why the lady had mentioned these words.
Of course, he was unable to pose another question.
Because after uttering the words, the lady’s figure became slightly blurred, and in a matter of seconds, she disappeared completely.
What crap?
Fang Zhengzhi tried to take a step forward, but he realised that he was unable to mobilise his body.
Then…..
He realised he was in fact tied up.
As for the thing that was tied around him, it was naturally the black chains. The hallucination disappeared as well, and he was once again back inside the Middle Stream Cauldron.
The silver flame and the purple flame interweaved with one another, and the unbearable temperature infiltrated his body.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know why, but he felt that he was not dead.

Why am I not dead?
Fang Zhengzhi asked himself the question for the first time. Afterall, the excruciating pain made him feel that he would rather be dead.
He wanted to lose his consciousness once again.
But he was unable to do so. He could neither live nor die.
Why can’t he die?
Fang Zhengzhi did not think that his skills would be able to overcome the two flames in front of him. Afterall, he was inside the Middle Stream Cauldron, and he had yet to understand the two flames.
Logically, he would have already died.
But indeed he was still alive.
Wait!

What is this?
Fang Zhengzhi realised that they were golden lights circulating around his body.
There was a bundle of golden rays shimmering brightly on his chest.l

Spiritual Jade!
Fang Zhengzhi could finally see the treasure stone in the bundle of golden rays. It was the Spiritual Jade.
Was it the Spiritual Jade that was saving him?
Spiritual Jade…..
Spiritual Jade!
Yes!
Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes brightened up, as he had initially doubted that the Spiritual Jade was different from that in the mythical stories.
In the mythical stories, Nüwa had created 36, 501 stones, but she had discarded 36, 500 of them, leaving only the last piece. It was the Spiritual Jade!
He was not willing to believe the story previously, but now, he was sure that the piece of Spiritual Jade was able to save his life.
Or so to say…..
Avoid the fire?
That’s right, if the Spiritual Jade was really the same one as in the mythical stories, that would mean that the Spiritual Jade was refined by Nüwa previously.
As such, even if he was in the Middle Stream Cauldron, and no matter how intense the two flames were, the Spiritual Jade would no longer be processed or refined.
Fang Zhengzhi did not know the accuracy of such an explanation, but that was the only explanation he could think of.
Because, this world was part of Nüwa’s bloodline, and thus there were many familiar book collections from her, such as Tao Te Ching, Analects, Lao Zi, etc.
And in addition to them would be the Spiritual Jade, thus fitting into the explanation.
What exactly was this world? What was the connection between the previous and the current world? Fang Zhengzhi could not seem to understand it.
But he understood that there was no time to contemplate about all this. While the Spiritual Jade was able to help him avoid the fire, but it was unable to prevent him from experiencing the underable pain.
To be more direct, even if Fang Zhengzhi was an unkillable being on flames, such a feeling would be the most unfortunate too.

Crap….. Must I be burned like this forever?!
Fang Zhengzhi felt that if such a situation would continue, he would choose to bite his tongue to commit suicide instead.
Wait!
He would not be able to die, even if he were to bite his tongue off.
Because, he was currently in the Rebirth State, and he would be able to recover even after biting his tongue off. It was a little awkward. Why don’t he take a knife so stab himself to death then?
But his hands were tied…..
How could he hold a knife?
A drop of cold sweat fell from his forehead, but it immediately vaporised into thin air amidst the fiery flames.
It was really unbearable for him!
Fang Zhengzhi felt extremely miserable. He really wanted to die, and this was the first time he had such a thought.
How could he die?

No! Have I forgotten something?
Fang Zhengzhi suddenly remembered that the situation did not seem too right.
The white-dressed lady seemed to have mentioned something about ‘looking’…..
Yes!
Chi Guyan had whispered something about ‘looking’ too, and the two words they had mentioned seemed to be the same. Was it a coincidence?
It should not be!
If it was a mere coincidence, he would then be able to compete against the sun already.
Then, another question arises.
What exactly was the ‘looking’ referring to?
Fang Zhengzhi searched for answers in his mind, everything that related to the word ‘looking’, but there were far too many ancient words that contained that word.
There was no way to confirm it.
However, the white-dressed lady had also said something else to him.
One!
Yes, one!

One, what looking…. One. one….
Fang Zhengzhi started searching for the answers, as he frowned his eyebrows.
Fang Zhengzhi browsed through his mind for every description related to looking

So it’s like that!
Fang Zhengzhi finally understood, and after understanding, he could not help but scold himself.
Crap, it really is important to listen to others carefully, or else when the time comes, I’m really dead already!
