2098 Vortex
Chu Liuyue immediately became alert. “What is going on!?”
The sand spread around her!
Her feet quickly sank, and her body fell uncontrollably.
She felt that something was wrong and immediately flew to the side. But just as her feet landed on the sand dune, the same situation happened again!
The sand from before stopped moving suddenly, and the sand under her feet flowed in all directions again!
Uneasiness surged in Chu Liuyue’s heart.
She changed positions two more times in a row and realized that it was the same.
This rough sand seemed to have been summoned by some force, forming a strange vortex on the ground. No matter where she went, this vortex would appear!
Rong Xiu also frowned slightly.
With a flash, he arrived beside Chu Liuyue and wrapped his long arm around her slender waist. Right on the heels of that, a golden flame surged out of his other hand!
The flames quickly formed a barrier that sealed the vortex below!
Chu Liuyue stood in the air and looked down at the situation below.
Under the golden flames, the sand no longer flowed outward, and the vortex gradually dissipated.
In a moment, everything returned to normal.
Rong Xiu brought her to the ground again.
This time, the vortex didn’t appear again. It was as if what had just happened was just an illusion.
However, Chu Liuyue knew very well that this wasn’t the case!
Su Li hurriedly went forward. “Yue’er, are you alright?”
Chu Liuyue nodded her head lightly. There were only a few vortexes, but I didn’t sense any threat. However, this was clearly abnormal!
“What happened just now?” Su Li frowned slightly and looked at the burning golden flame again.
Rong Xiu raised his fingertips slightly, and the flames quickly flew back.
Facing Su Li’s question, Chu Liuyue fell silent and shook her head gently. “I don’t know.”
This wasn’t the first time she had come to the Red Moon Desert, but she had never encountered such a thing.
She looked at Rong Xiu. “Do you feel anything?”
Rong Xiu reacted very quickly. Before she could figure out what had happened, Rong Xiu had made a clean move.
This made her feel that Rong Xiu might have sensed something.
Rong Xiu narrowed his eyes, which were deep, and shook his head gently. “No. I just felt that something was wrong. There seemed to be some strange power surging below… But as soon as I attacked, all the fluctuations and aura dissipated. I don’t know what it is either.”
Chu Liuyue pressed her lips against each other. Rong Xiu is stronger than me, so it’s normal for him to sense danger before me. If even he says this, it is really difficult to know what is down there. Perhaps I should ask Big Baby and the others…
At the thought of this, she was suddenly stunned. Why didn’t Big Baby and the others come out after discovering such a strange situation in the Red Moon Desert?
As soon as this thought occurred to her, she heard a familiar voice. “Yue’er.”
It was Big Baby!
Chu Liuyue turned around and realized that Big Baby didn’t appear.
Out of the corner of her eye, Su Li’s expression didn’t change, but Rong Xiu hugged her waist tightly.
It seems like only the two of us can hear Big Baby’s voice… Chu Liuyue suppressed the emotions in her heart and listened calmly.
“The situation just now was just an accident. Don’t take it to heart.”
Chu Liuyue’s lips moved.
She didn’t look surprised… But since Big Baby had already said so, she naturally couldn’t ask further.
“Just continue to refine medicine in peace. No one can hurt you here.” Big Baby’s voice was calm, but it carried a powerful aura and pressure that couldn’t be disobeyed!
Chu Liuyue felt a little more at ease. Her lips curled up slightly as she nodded slightly.
She knew that Big Baby would definitely know her response.
Sure enough, Big Baby’s voice disappeared after that.
Above the desert, it seemed to have returned to its usual calm.
Chu Liuyue and Rong Xiu glanced at each other, then looked at Su Li and comforted her. “Mr. Su, don’t worry. It’s not a big deal.”
Seeing that her expression seemed to have eased a lot, Su Li felt a little more at ease. But when she thought of the scene just now, she still felt a little strange. “That’s good… Such a situation shouldn’t happen again, right?”
Chu Liuyue paused. “I don’t think so.”
Actually, I’m not sure either. But since Big Baby has said that, there is no need to worry too much, right?
She let out a long breath and walked toward the Heavenly Square Cauldron. Since I’m almost done resting, I might as well try again. Perhaps I can succeed this time!
She stood in front of the Heavenly Square Cauldron and placed one hand on the cauldron.
She was about to start when she suddenly hesitated for a moment. A reddish-gold flame surged out of her palm and poured into the Heavenly Square Cauldron!
Looking down from above, there was a transparent flame burning in the middle of the cauldron. The outside was surrounded by golden flames.
As Tuan Zi continued to open her meridians and her strength increased continuously, the power of the flames that Chu Liuyue could summon also increased day by day.
In the past, it could barely compete with this transparent karmic fire. But now, it was already showing signs of surpassing the transparent karmic fire.
Chu Liuyue recalled the few times she refined pills earlier. There were no problems with the previous processes. The few times I was refining the pill, I failed at the last step.
I have a bold idea, but I don’t know if it will work.
At the thought of this, she held her breath and focused. Then, she placed the herbs in one by one.
With her previous experience, she was even more proficient in handling these herbs now. Her series of actions could be said to be smooth.
Su Li watched from the side and couldn’t help but praise, “I thought that she was already outstanding enough when she refined it for the first time. I didn’t expect her to do better…”
Every time Chu Liuyue refined the pill, there was an obvious improvement from the previous attempt.
Now, from a spectator’s point of view, it was even more pleasing to the eye.
It was said that heavenly doctors paid attention to talent. Now, it seemed that it was indeed true.
In the beginning, it was obvious that Chu Liuyue’s movements were still a little jerky. But after a few attempts, her proficiency and sensitivity had almost surpassed all the Physicians Su Li had seen before!
Some heavenly doctors might not be able to do what she did in their lives… This could only be explained by the word ‘talent.’
When Rong Xiu heard this, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile flashed across the corners of his eyes.
However, the smile quickly dissipated.
His gaze calmly landed on the spot where the vortex had disappeared, and a trace of coldness quickly flashed across his eyes.
…
At the same time, the three people under the lake were all worried.
Diwu Zhangze frowned and gazed at Dugu Mobao worriedly. “Big Baby, hasn’t Wei Yue passed? Why did that happen again?!”
