Mu Yun had a noble identity, so he naturally wouldn't keep looking at this' junior 'refining pills.
Firstly, she had other things to take care of, and secondly, she had a bad reputation.
Therefore, her departure was inevitable …
After she left, Ye Feng let out a sigh of relief.
"What's wrong, big brother barbarian? From the looks of it, you seem to be afraid of my master." Liu Bing Qian giggled as she asked in confusion.
Ye Feng smiled, "It's not that I'm afraid of her, but if she is here, then there are some things that I can't do."
"What do you mean?" Liu Bingqian asked in surprise.
"You see." Ye Feng smiled and didn't explain anything. He held his breath and concentrated, streams of Profound Qi overflowing from his arms.
A monster formed from spirit energy hovered in the air, greedily absorbing the spirit energy that filled the entire alchemy lab. It was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar.
Gui Ying was overjoyed and laughed out loud. "Kid, where did you find such a good place? It's really a good thing that you could receive such nourishment before you awaken your Martial Spirit."
"What should I call you? I need to help you review some martial skills." Ye Feng smiled playfully as he formed a "character" shape with his mouth. That word was the first word that could control martial skills.
Liu Bingqian did not know what a martial soul cultivation technique was, but to Gui Ying, it could be said to be an unforgettable skill.
"Master... "Master."
Gui Ying unwillingly called out, but in his heart, he secretly cursed. Every time, Ye Feng would use this technique to threaten him, but he couldn't do anything to it. It truly made him depressed.
Liu Bing Qian's eyes were wide open as she looked at the monster: "Brute Big Bro, last time I wanted to ask, but that was when you were breaking through to the 9th Layer and the situation was critical, so I didn't have the time to ask you. So, you can say it now, what is this monster that can only speak?"
"Who's the monster? Do you even know how to talk?" Spiritshadow unhappily circled in front of her, wanting nothing more than to suck her spiritual energy in one gulp.
However, Liu Bingqian was still a Martial Disciple after all. Furthermore, she was restricted by Ye Feng and could not move freely. So, Gui Ying could only forcefully swallow his anger.
"You look like a monster, so of course I'll call you that." Liu Bingqian curled her lips and said.
"You …"
"Alright, Bing Qian, listen up." Ye Feng said lightly, "I call it 'Ghastly Shadow', which is my martial soul. You can call it that in the future."
"Spiritshadow..."
Liu Bing Qian thought for a while, and then suddenly reacted after saying a few words. Her face changed.
"Wait, what did you say just now …" "This is your martial spirit, but how could a Qi Condensation student have a martial spirit?"
Ye Chong nodded with a smile, "That's right. I know it is hard to believe, but that is the truth."
"This …" Surprise flashed across Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes.
"Bingqian, this is a secret between the two of us. I have a martial soul, don't tell her," Ye Feng said with a serious expression.
"Ok, I understand." Liu Bing Qian nodded seriously, but she secretly felt a hint of joy in her heart, because she could already share the secret with Ye Feng.
Ye Feng paused for a moment and coughed. He turned his head towards Gui Ying and said seriously.
"I have limited time. Let me get down to business. Gui Ying, the reason I called you out this time wasn't to help you make up for your lack of time. It's to get you to work."
Gui Ying was slightly stunned: "Being able to refine pills is one thing, it's not a fight. What do I have to do?"
Ye Qingfeng smiled and pointed to the cauldron, "Bing Qian asked me earlier, this Earth medicine had its own spiritual energy, it could easily make a person's aura go wild. At that time, I replied that I could only rely on my own willpower to endure it."
Liu Bingqian was stunned when she heard this. She stared at Ye Feng and suddenly came to a realization.
"Brat, could it be that you said that on purpose?"
Ye Feng laughed lightly, "That's right. I want your master to form this opinion. No matter how strong my willpower is, my blood energy is limited. I can't hold on for too long under three stoves of pills …"
He paused for a moment before continuing. "She might think that if I relied solely on my willpower, roasting two stoves of pills would be the absolute limit. But, I have Spiritshadow …"
Gui Ying gave an awkward laugh: "I am here … … "What's wrong?"
"Stop pretending to be stupid. With you around, the spiritual energy within this cauldron will go berserk. Can't you absorb it?"
Gui Ying's heart sank. Absorbing the energy from the pill furnace in the process of refining pills was truly a bitter task. Moreover, most of the spiritual energy in the furnace would enter after the pill was refined.
Therefore, if it were to take action, the only thing it could absorb would be low-grade dregs.
Useless waste gas,
Seeing Spiritshadow frozen on the spot, unwilling to work,
Ye Feng frowned, "Hurry up, time is pressing. I will count to three. After three, if you don't make a move on the furnace, I will make a move on you."
"Three... Two... "One."
"Alright, I'll do it."
When Spiritshadow heard the word "one", he was startled and could only force himself to enter the pill furnace. He began to mediate the riots of spiritual energy in the pill furnace, trying to absorb the dregs.
The Xuan grade or lower Xuan grade pellets did not have such an intense burst of spiritual energy, so there was no need for Ghastly Shadow to do anything.
However, he was currently concocting an Earth rank pill, which was equivalent to the pill of a high-level Martial Disciple. If the alchemist could not endure the spiritual energy explosion, they would have to consider it from other aspects.
If he did not take a different path and used his willpower to tide through it unrealistically, then it was very likely that he would die from excessive pressure.
Ye Feng used his soul talent and carefully checked the situation in the furnace. His face lit up, "Not bad, the situation in the furnace is almost done."
He thought for a moment and continued, "Gui Ying, after you finish absorbing the spiritual qi from this pill furnace, go and absorb the second and third mouthful of the pill furnace. As for Bing Qian, you have to bake the pill at full strength now."
"Alright then …" As he breathed in the dregs of Qi, Spiritshadow felt weak all over.
"Understood." Liu Bingqian was in high spirits, her beautiful eyes were brimming with energy and vitality.
With Spiritshadow to deal with this situation, even though the process of refining an Earth grade pill was still complicated, it wasn't as difficult as ascending to heaven.
With the method in place and the conditions ready, the key point would be time.
If it was almost time for dinner, Mu Yun might come over to check on the situation. At that time, he would have to withdraw his Phantom Shadow.
Thus, he spent the whole afternoon trying to concoct pills.
… ….
In the entire alchemy room, the temperature was extremely high, like a small stove. Ye Feng's entire body was sweating like it was raining.
Compared to Liu Bingqian's roasted medicinal herbs, he was the main person controlling the fire. The amount of spirit power consumed was naturally unimaginable.
When Liu Bing Qian saw that he was so engrossed, she did not dare to be negligent in her heart and also attacked with all her might. Streams of sweat flowed down her pretty face.
Spiritshadow was completely exhausted, and leaned on the side of the pill furnace as if he was on the verge of collapse, "I … "I can't absorb any more spirit energy from these dregs, spare me …"
Ye Feng's expression changed and he said slowly, "Gui Ying, try to persevere. There is only one more."
Gui Ying unhappily glared at him. "You've said this four times since just now."
"It's true this time."
"You've said this twice already." Gui Ying bitterly laughed and said as before.
"Really?" Ye Feng frowned.
"Are you sure I did say it twice," he said word by word, and then he started to count again, "Three … Two... "One."
Gui Ying became anxious and hurriedly stood up.
"Don't think about it, don't think about it. I can move, okay?" Gui Ying hurriedly floated into the pill furnace and entered through his body, inhaling the air of violence within.
Because, under such tiring conditions, if it was tortured by the Martial Spirit, it wouldn't be a joke and it might lose its vitality again.
… ….
However, this time, Ye Feng did not lie to it.
The last step of the refining process was finally completed at this moment.
"It's over, I'm finally done refining. If I don't finish it, I really won't be able to take it anymore," Spiritshadow breathed heavily a few times. His entire body was so shriveled that it looked like a sack that had run out of air.
Ye Feng stared at the pill furnace in front of him as if it was rooted in place.
After a while, the qi from the three pill furnaces rose at almost the same time.
"Big Bro, could this be …" A look of anticipation flashed across Liu Bingqian's beautiful eyes.
Ye Feng let out a long sigh, "The Heavens do not disappoint those who wish to do so. The pills refined from the three stoves should all be complete."
… ….
At the same time, Mu Yun brought Yang Jing and Qiao'er over.
"Jing Er, your body is too weak and you know some medical skills. If Ye Feng passed out, you should know how to deal with him."
Yang Jing smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Master. I still know how to do this little trick."
That's good, that's right, and I'll bring you along for another reason. I'm afraid that the little girl will get into an argument with me and I must return the Mysterious grade pill furnace to Ye Wen. You should know that this is the blood contract, so you shouldn't let it go so easily.
"Understood."
"Very good." Mu Yun smiled in satisfaction.
At this time, she had almost reached the door of the alchemy lab. Hearing the silent noise from inside, she was slightly surprised.
"This is strange. No matter what, there should be some sound of flames igniting during the process of refining the pill. Why is it so quiet?"
With great curiosity, Mu Yun gently opened the door …
