2096 Trouble
This slight ripple did not attract Chu Liuyue’s attention.
She carefully refined the herbs in the Heavenly Square Cauldron. Just based on this point alone, she took an entire day.
When nighttime came, she finally added the last bit of herbs.
The Red Moon Desert was strangely cold at night.
A thin layer of frost seemed to form on the sand ball, and it was painfully cold. But luckily, this wasn’t much of a problem to Chu Liuyue.
In front of her, the transparent fire in the Heavenly Square Cauldron kept burning, and the light shone in the surroundings.
Under the dark sky, this spark of fire was even more obvious.
An increasingly intense herbal fragrance spread from within.
Chu Liuyue held her breath in. I’m done refining the herbs. Now, it is forming the pill.
This step was even more complicated, and if she was not careful, she would lose. Hence, Chu Liuyue was even more careful now.
She started merging the herbs bit by bit.
Su Li watched on by the side and exclaimed. “There are so many herbs that I can’t even memorize them. Yue’er, not only can you place them in an orderly fashion, but you can even control the fire and merge the herbs! You’re amazing!”
She knew nothing about heavenly doctors, but she could tell that producing a Senior Physician-level pill was tiring—let alone for Chu Liuyue, who was still so young!
“If this can succeed, she will become the youngest Senior Physician in the God Residence Realm, right?” Su Li sighed deeply.
Even if it couldn’t succeed, seeing Chu Liuyue’s series of familiarized actions, she should be near success.
“Condense!” Chu Liuyue yelled loudly.
The fire in the Heavenly Square Cauldron suddenly jumped up, and all the herbs gathered!
A fist-sized pill slowly formed!
But at this moment, an exploding force suddenly came from the pill!
Chu Liuyue secretly felt that something was amiss, so she immediately controlled the fire and tried to suppress it.
However, the force to form the pill was too strong. Now that it suddenly exploded, it was not something Chu Liuyue could control.
The internal turbulence directly broke through the surrounding of the fire and went straight for Chu Liuyue’s head.
Rong Xiu slightly squinted his eyes but finally controlled his urge to take action.
Chu Liuyue went on her toes and rapidly formed a barrier around her at the same time!
Hong hong hong!
The terrifying force harshly hit Chu Liuyue’s barrier and made a few sounds!
Chu Liuyue felt the terrifying suppression pressing on her, and her feet almost sank into the sand!
Luckily, the force came quickly and left quickly. Additionally, Chu Liuyue managed to summon the barrier in time and was not injured.
However, it was a pity that the pill was ruined.
Chu Liuyue removed her feet from the sand and looked at the Heavenly Square Cauldron before her.
Only a pile of dust was left in the transparent cauldron.
A faint burning smell came over.
Chu Liuyue coughed and touched her nose. This Senior Physician-level pill isn’t easy to produce…
Su Li saw this and was very worried, wanting to go forward immediately.
Chu Liuyue waved her hand in response. “It’s normal for the pill production to fail. Besides, this is my first time challenging a pill of such standards, so I will make mistakes. I just have to try a few times, and it’ll be fine. You don’t have to worry.”
Seeing that Chu Liuyue seemed to be in a decent condition, Su Li waited quietly in her spot.
Chu Liuyue kept her Heavenly Square Cauldron and closed her eyes. Then, she started recalling where she had gone wrong during the pill production process.
After thinking for a while, she finally opened her eyes and went on with her second trial.
With the first trial’s experience, she was even smoother in her second try. However, Chu Liuyue did not dare to relax at all.
…
Now, it was already afternoon on the second day.
The frost on the ground had already silently melted away, and the ground became hot. Luckily, Chu Liuyue had stayed here for quite a while and was used to it.
An intense herbal fragrance permeated through the air.
…
“Hey, I wonder if Yue’er can succeed this time.” Below the lake, Diwu Zhangze muttered worriedly.
Lan Xiao glanced at him. “Are you content!? She’s one in a million for doing this on her first try!”
Diwu Zhangze snorted. “If it were someone else, I would naturally not have such hopes, but Yue’er is not them. Besides, didn’t Big Baby say that he had given quite a few Senior Physician formulas to the girl? With her sensibility, what can she not do? Big Baby, am I right?”
It was fine if he did not talk about this. Once he did, Lan Xiao was speechless.
He quickly shot Dugu Mobao a look. “Only he can do such an immoral thing, and he had the cheek to say it… Is he not worried that the girl would not know what to do and produce it wrongly?”
Dugu Mobao’s expression did not change. “Back then, she had received all those Xuan formations, let alone the formulas. Lan Xiao, don’t think that everyone is like you just because you’re dumb.”
“You—” Lan Xiao was exasperated and wanted to stand up. In the end, he forgot that he was chained and was dragged back down.
He was just a soul now, so logically speaking, he would not experience pain. However, this chain was very strange. Once he moved too much, he would be punished.
A dark glint flashed across the chain, and Lan Xiao’s aura immediately became weaker.
Diwu Zhangze knitted his brows. “You’re in the worst condition now. You should just stay here and not torture yourself.”
Lan Xiao clenched his teeth and laughed. “Hah… If it were back then, would such a small thing stop me?”
Dugu Mobao nonchalantly said, “Since you know you can’t compare to the past you, don’t force yourself. With your current situation, it will be very hard for you to form your Holy Body.”
Speaking of this, Lan Xiao finally fell silent. He leaned against the wall behind him, looked down, and did not speak in a while.
Diwu Zhangze nodded. “Big Baby is right. You survived Wei Yue with much difficulty, and you need to rest. Just stay here.”
Speaking of this, he looked at Dugu Mobao with a headache. “However, this matter is easy to talk about yet troublesome to do, especially when Yue’er is still around…”
When she was here in the past, the situation was not terrible. Every time Wei Yue came, they could send her away with all sorts of reasons; they could hide everything with not much effort.
But now…
“I wonder how long she’ll stay here. What if Wei Yue comes…”
Dugu Mobao thought for a long time and said, “I feel like she has found out about something. If she can’t personally see you and Lan Xiao reform your Holy Bodies, she won’t leave so easily.”
She came this time to help Su Li on the surface, but after Dugu Mobao met and talked to her, he knew that this was not her only motive.
Diwu Zhangze furrowed his brows tightly. “This spells trouble.”
