Chapter 1459: Random Thoughts

After Ye Liuyun had been striking it for three days straight, the Iron-backed Blue Ape could no longer remain.

It also needed to return to its own territory to check.

Moreover, here its True Essence could not be replenished, so it was also somewhat worried.

Although it was reluctant to give up Ye Liuyun, this big toy, and the roasted meat he made, it still had to leave.

Ye Liuyun gave it a Storage Ring to thank it, containing the corpses of hundreds of soldiers.

That Blue Ape actually returned him a gift!

It was also a Storage Ring.

Inside were some resources that Human Martial Cultivators need, such as weapons and treasures.

It is estimated that this Blue Ape snatched them from passing Martial Cultivators.

After seeing off the Blue Ape, Ye Liuyun returned to the Space World and thoroughly cleaned the blood stains on his body.

He then went back into the Xuan Kong Shi to cultivate for a day, fully recovered, before reappearing.

"Can we start alchemy now?"

Ye Liuyun asked Luo Yun.

Meng Zhangxing, however, reminded: "What if another fierce beast comes?"

Ye Liuyun gave a mysterious smile: "It's fine, there are still so many fierce beasts around!"

Meng Zhangxing, hearing that, narrowed his eyes at Ye Liuyun: "You must have reached some agreement with that big stupid monkey, right?"

"Haha, you're still the smart one!"

Ye Liuyun laughed.

"What's going on?"

Luo Yun and Guo Da also became curious.

"This is the center of the Forest Sea; the fierce beasts of the Ninth Heavenly Sovereign level we've encountered are just these! I've already told the Blue Ape that this counts as its territory."

"We are just staying here temporarily, then we'll leave! It will help us keep watch."

Ye Liuyun began explaining to everyone.

"So this is actually the central zone of the Forest Sea! Only a few Ninth Heavenly Sovereign-level fierce beasts?"

Meng Zhangxing was somewhat puzzled.

"The resources here aren't abundant, and competition among the Ninth Heavenly Sovereign-level fierce beasts is fierce, so only these remain."

Ye Liuyun told everyone.

Hearing that, everyone also relaxed.

Luo Yun also readily agreed: "Alright then! Let's start alchemy!"

Thus, Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun entered the Formation.

Ye Liuyun took out his Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron.

Since he is the one operating, he will definitely use the tool he is familiar with.

But he still cautiously first test-refined a few ordinary pills.

He had Luo Yun guide him to first refine a few other simple pills, to get familiar with the technique and also with communicating with Luo Yun.

During alchemy, both of them needed to communicate via Divine Sense and remain silent.

Guo Da, meanwhile, together with Meng Zhangxing, set up another Formation and entered it to cultivate.

The fierce beasts all guarded around the two Formations.

Afterward, Ye Liuyun rested a bit, then took out the Blue Soul Flower and formally began refining the Nine-Revolution Soul-Lifting Pill.

First, he used Yang Fire to raise the cauldron to a certain temperature, then added the ingredients, melted them, and everything proceeded in an orderly manner.

Soon the medicinal materials melted and began to synthesize.

This step is also the most difficult, requiring Ye Liuyun to constantly switch between two kinds of fire to refine nine cycles.

Each time the fire control and duration are different.

Thus Ye Liuyun and Luo Yun must not be distracted at all.

Both were fully focused on refining the pill.

But suddenly, Luo Yun's Divine Sense experienced a relatively large fluctuation.

It turned out that both of their Divine Senses were crowded into the Nine Dragon River Mountain Cauldron, inevitably causing some overlap.

And the merging of Divine Sense would also cause people to have an illusion of being very intimate.

So Luo Yun's face turned red, and she immediately had some improper thoughts.

"Focus!"

Ye Liuyun reminded Luo Yun.

But the moment he reminded her, Luo Yun felt even more embarrassed, and instead became unable to calm down.

Even Ye Liuyun's Divine Sense was dragged along by her and began to fluctuate.

Luo Yun also realized the situation was bad, and immediately withdrew her Divine Sense.

"Just you refine it then!"

Luo Yun had no choice but to let Ye Liuyun control it himself.

Anyway, they had already communicated thoroughly before, and she also believed Ye Liuyun could refine it well.

Ye Liuyun also immediately stabilized his Divine Sense fluctuation and controlled the fire well.

Fortunately, that moment was brief; otherwise, the Blue Soul Flower would have been wasted.

Ye Liuyun now had no mind to wonder how Luo Yun was; he simply focused on operating step by step according to his previous memory, and didn't pay attention to her.

He even feared Luo Yun would come again and affect him, so he directly used his Divine Sense to envelop the entire cauldron.

Luo Yun's Divine Sense now couldn't return even if she wanted to.

She also knew she couldn't continue, so she stood up, left the formation, and joined Meng Zhangxing and the others in their formation.

"Huh?"

"You let him refine pills on his own?"

"No need to guide him anymore?"

Meng Zhangxing asked, puzzled.

"He should be fine!"

Luo Yun sighed and replied.

"Should be?"

Meng Zhangxing was somewhat surprised and joked, "Did you two lovebirds have a quarrel?"

Luo Yun was now filled with guilt, having no mind to pay attention to him.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Da saw Luo Yun's complexion not looking good and also asked with concern.

"It's my fault for being useless and distracted—I almost implicated him in his pill refining."

Luo Yun said guiltily.

"Uh..." Meng Zhangxing immediately understood.

"Ah, women!"

He sighed, closed his eyes, and continued cultivating.

Guo Da also smiled and said boldly, "It's fine.

Since he dared to start, it shows he has some confidence.

Even if he fails, it's no big deal.

Resources—we can just find more later!"

"Mm!"

Luo Yun gratefully acknowledged, sat cross-legged pretending to cultivate, but actually her mind was in turmoil.

"How useless I am! What nonsense am I thinking!"

She not only blamed herself, but also feared Ye Liuyun would blame her or look down on her because of it.

Ye Liuyun was busy at the moment, having no time to think of her.

"The first turn is complete, preparing to enter the second turn."

At this moment Ye Liuyun changed the Nether Ghost Fire to Golden Crow Holy Fire, beginning the fusion and refinement of the second turn.

Time passed bit by bit, but Luo Yun simply couldn't cultivate.

She estimated the time; now she should have completed the nine turns and begun the final pill-forming stage.

So at this point, she was no longer worried.

Because she had no particular requirements for the pill's appearance.

Even if it were a pile of dregs, as long as it worked, she could take it.

But Ye Liuyun was still fully focused, using his Divine Sense to control the liquid medicine into spheres, gradually cooling it.

After another hour or so, Ye Liuyun suddenly opened his eyes and exhaled a mouthful of turbid breath.

Everyone immediately turned their nervous gazes toward him.

All they saw was him slap his hand on the pill cauldron, sending the lid flying.

Then, eighteen pills glowing with blue light flew out of thin air.

Ye Liuyun immediately used a pill bottle to gather the pills, preventing their potency from dissipating.

"Exquisite! This is true pill refining!"

Meng Zhangxing saw this and couldn't help but praise.
