Chapter 50

After taking out the detoxifying pill, Xiao Yun immediately found Yan Shifei.

"What, you've refined the detoxifying pill?" Hearing this, Yan Shifei's beautiful eyes blinked, revealing a look of surprise. Although the young man had mentioned it before, she hadn't taken it seriously, thinking it was just a promise from the young man and never expected this day to come so soon.

"Uh-huh." Xiao Yun said, "I've been refining pills day and night these past few days, and I've finally made some progress. Take this pill and see if it can remove the poison in your body. If it works, you won't have to suffer from the pain of the poison anymore."

"Okay." Yan Shifei suppressed her excitement, took the detoxifying pill, and sat cross-legged on the bed to take it.

As soon as the pill entered her mouth, a fragrant aroma permeated her body, seeping into every pore and cell.

"What a fragrant medicinal power." Yan Shifei was startled, feeling the fragrance seeping into her body and cleansing the toxins.

In a short while, the pill completely transformed into a medicinal flow, seeping into her meridians and blood.

"This is indeed the detoxifying pill." Yan Shifei was delighted and began to circulate the yuan qi in her body to guide the medicinal flow to the poisoned area. The toxins had seeped into her bones, making them hard to remove, but under her guidance, the medicinal flow began to seep into her bones.

Then, the medicinal liquid and the toxins began to battle, clashing continuously.

A sharp pain came, causing Yan Shifei's body to tremble.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yun, seeing this, was full of anxiety, deeply afraid that something might happen to the beauty.

"Nothing, I feel the stubborn toxins in my body are gradually being cleared." Yan Shifei's voice was ethereal and pleasant to the ear.

Clearly, her condition was good.

Xiao Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As time passed, Yan Shifei felt the intense poison in her body being continuously expelled. Her back was soaked with some toxic liquid, and a foul smell spread, making people feel dizzy and disoriented.

This showed how terrifying the toxic liquid was.

Feeling this, Xiao Yun's heart ached, imagining the pain Yan Shifei had endured over the past two years.

Finally, after half an hour, the girl opened her eyes, revealing a clear light.

"Finally, I don't have to endure the torment of the poison anymore!" Yan Shifei took a deep breath, her eyes full of sighs.

"That's good." Xiao Yun nodded, feeling one less worry.

"Thank you." Yan Shifei stood up, smiled, and kissed the young man.

"Hey, Sister Shifei, shouldn't you reward me a bit more?" Xiao Yun chuckled.

"What other reward do you want?" Yan Shifei looked at the young man with a smile.

"Like, you know, something right here, right now!" Xiao Yun spread his palms and laughed.

"You wish." Yan Shifei's beautiful eyes blinked, her allure tempting, and she gave the young man a playful glare.

"Ah, it stinks. I need to wash off the toxic liquid." With that, she turned and left with a radiant smile.

Seeing the girl's relaxed expression, Xiao Yun was also very happy.

He hadn't seen Sister Shifei smile so clearly and comfortably in the past two years!

In the following days, Xiao Yun began to refine pills with all his might.

After refining all the herbs, he started refining the Ningshen Pill.

The Ningshen Pill is a pill that can help True Essence Realm experts break through. Each herb is very precious, and Xiao Yun only had three sets, so he couldn't afford to make too many mistakes during the refining process, or he would lose the opportunity to succeed.

He began refining, being very careful, but ultimately failed.

He continued refining, but the medicinal power was too violent, and he couldn't control it, leading to another failure.

"Only the last set of herbs left." Xiao Yun frowned.

"To refine such a pill, your soul power must be comparable to that of a Core Formation Realm cultivator. Otherwise, it's hard to control the violent medicinal power, and you can only watch as the pill explodes during the fusion process." Tiantian Que said, "This pill is too difficult to refine. It's not something you can do now. Wait until later to try again."

"No, I must refine this pill." Xiao Yun said stubbornly, "The clan competition is coming up. If I win first place, I will go to the capital to participate in the Tianyuan Sect's assessment. I won't be able to stay at home for a long time, so I need to refine a Ningshen Pill for Grandpa to help him reach the Core Formation Realm. This is the last thing I can do for him."

Since learning about his father's news, Xiao Yun knew he would eventually have to leave his hometown, but he was worried about his grandfather in the clan.

Only if Grandpa reached the Core Formation Realm could he sit in charge of the area, allowing Xiao Yun to travel with peace of mind.

That's why Xiao Yun had been refining pills crazily recently, barely resting.

"Then do as you wish." Tiantian Que's tone was indifferent, not optimistic about Xiao Yun.

The Ningshen Pill is not something just anyone can refine successfully.

Especially since Xiao Yun had only been refining pills for a short time?

"There must be a way." Xiao Yun thought hard, still unwilling to give up.

"The medicinal properties clash. Is there no way to neutralize them?" Xiao Yun muttered, "There must be."

After a moment of contemplation, he continued reading the Purple Flame Pill formula.

"Sky Spirit Grass can neutralize medicinal properties and increase the success rate of pill refinement." Finally, Xiao Yun found a note, but he didn't have Sky Spirit Grass, which was extremely rare and hard to find.

"Neutralize, neutralize." Xiao Yun muttered, his eyes suddenly brightening, "These medicinal properties are condensed from the essence of heaven and earth. My martial soul can refine any essence of heaven and earth, whether it's fire, cold, or poison. It has a bit of the flavor of embracing all rivers. If so, can the dewdrops have a neutralizing effect?"

Thinking this, Xiao Yun felt he could try.

"Alright, since it's hard to succeed, I might as well give it a shot." With that thought, Xiao Yun began refining the pill.

He smoothly completed the extraction of the herbs and finally reached the fusion step.

Looking at the medicinal mud containing extremely violent energy, Xiao Yun's mind moved, and a green branch extended from his sea of consciousness, with a drop of emerald dew sliding down and being enveloped by his purple fire, merging into the medicinal mud.

When the green dew fell, it emitted a green light, absorbing the medicinal effects from the mud.

"This dewdrop condensed by my martial soul is indeed powerful." Xiao Yun thought.

Under the absorption of the dewdrop, the medicinal properties in the mud gradually weakened, being absorbed.

"I wonder if the effect of the pill will change after refining it this way." Xiao Yun wondered.

"Kid, what did you add?" Tiantian Que was puzzled. He had never seen anyone refine pills this way. Adding something during the refining process could trigger the medicinal power, causing an explosion.

Therefore, countless alchemists follow the traditional pill formulas strictly.

But this young man dared to add something randomly?

Truly, a young bull knows no fear!

Just as Tiantian Que sighed, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"What's happening?"

In the cauldron, the medicinal mud was fusing, forming a pill shape. Surprisingly, it didn't emit the expected violent energy, as if it were an ordinary pill. "Is it because of the added dewdrop that the refinement failed?"

Tiantian Que was very suspicious.

However, Xiao Yun was delighted.

He could clearly feel the violent energy hidden beneath the pill's calm surface.

After a short while, a green pill was refined.

"I wonder how effective this pill will be." Xiao Yun held the pill, a smile on his lips.

This was his unique creation!

He could faintly feel the residual life essence of the dewdrop on the pill.

"I hope it can help Grandpa reach the Core Formation Realm." Xiao Yun smiled contentedly.

"Kid, you're not thinking of giving this pill to your grandpa, are you?" Tiantian Que asked.

"What's wrong with that?" Xiao Yun replied, "I'll naturally give it to Grandpa since I worked so hard to refine it."

"The Ningshen Pill isn't this color. By changing the formula, the pill you refined might have side effects. Be careful; if your grandpa takes it, he might not only fail to break through but also suffer a mental breakdown, becoming a cripple." Tiantian Que warned, "There are many such cases."

Xiao Yun shrugged, ignoring Tiantian Que.

He had long felt the effects of the dewdrop from his martial soul.

Back then, Ling Xi's foundation was damaged, but she recovered her vitality after taking the dewdrop. Without it, even countless essence stones might not have helped her recover. This showed how extraordinary the dewdrop condensed by his martial soul was, comparable to a miraculous elixir.

Xiao Yun held the pill and walked out excitedly.

"Yun'er!" As Xiao Yun walked out, a deep voice suddenly sounded.

"Second Uncle." Xiao Yun looked in the direction of the voice and saw his Second Uncle walking towards him with a majestic gait.

At this moment, Xiao Yun's aura was thick, giving people a sense of awe.

"Did you break through?" Xiao Yun asked in surprise.

"Yes." Xiao Hai nodded and smiled, "Ha, your pill is indeed extraordinary. After taking it, Second Uncle immediately felt the opportunity to break through. Now, I've finally reached the True Essence Realm. From now on, anyone who dares to touch you will be crushed into meat paste by Second Uncle. No more suffering, ha ha, of course, your achievements will definitely surpass Second Uncle's."

"Second Uncle breaking through is good." Xiao Yun was delighted, not expecting the pill he refined to be so effective.

"Where are you going?" Xiao Hai asked with a smile.

"I've refined the Ningshen Pill and am going to find Grandpa." Xiao Yun said.

"What! You actually refined the Ningshen Pill? Could you be a reincarnated alchemy master?" Xiao Hai was shocked, knowing clearly that he had only provided three sets of herbs to the young man, and even a master alchemist wouldn't have been confident in refining it.

"I did refine it." Xiao Yun said.

"Good, good, let's go find your grandpa together. He has been in seclusion recently. If he hears this, he'll be very happy. Once he reaches the Core Formation Realm, who in the Ziyun County City will dare to bully us?" Xiao Hai was very happy.

The two walked together to where Grandpa was in seclusion.

"What, Yun'er learned alchemy?" Grandpa came out of seclusion and was stunned, finding it hard to believe that the young man had become an alchemist in such a short time.

"Yes, Father." Xiao Hai said, "I took the pill Yun'er refined and broke through to the True Essence Realm."
