Chapter 1468: Feigning Pill Refinement

Mu Ranxing gave A Ya a thorough lecture, and A Ya indeed stopped giving Ye Liuyun a hard time.

Ye Liuyun said to Mu Ranxing, "I need to cooperate with Luo Yun to refine a pill for your Clan Chief. It will just take a little time."

"That's easy! I'll find you a room so you can refine the pill in peace!" Mu Ranxing immediately agreed.

Ye Liuyun, hearing that, pretended to glance at A Ya before saying, "Let's refine the pill right here on the spot; it won't take long anyway. With everyone watching, we can all be at ease!"

Ye Liuyun's meaning was clear: he was annoyed by A Ya's harassment.

"Fine! I want to watch you refine the pill too!" A Ya replied without backing down.

Ye Liuyun nodded, called Luo Yun to bring out the pill furnace, and prepared to refine.

"You do the refining, I'll guide you! I'll return to the Space World to fetch some herbs!"

After saying that, Ye Liuyun returned to the Space World, but immediately emerged again, holding a small vial and some herbs.

In fact, it was his clone that emerged. The vial contained two drops of Life Spring Water, and the herbs were merely blood‑circulating, strength‑enhancing herbs. The clone had been prepared beforehand.

A Ya and Mu Ranxing were stunned when Ye Liuyun suddenly vanished, but saw him reappear immediately with herbs, and they were very curious.

Ye Liuyun handed the herbs to Luo Yun. Upon seeing them, Luo Yun instantly recognized what they were.

"Just refine a simple health‑strengthening pill. At the end, have him ingest those two drops of Life Spring Water together!" Ye Liuyun transmitted the instruction to Luo Yun with Divine Sense.

"Take it as slowly as possible! I need this time to cultivate on the Spirit Stone platform without them noticing!" Ye Liuyun revealed his true intention to Luo Yun.

"What are you cultivating here?" Luo Yun asked back, puzzled.

"I have to borrow their Spirit Stone platform!" Ye Liuyun explained simply.

"What are you two sneaking around researching?" A Ya asked directly when she saw them transmitting.

"We're studying the pharmacology and the steps of pill refining!" Ye Liuyun replied.

"Yes, A Ya, refining pills is complicated; just watch," Mu Ranxing apologetically added on behalf of Ye Liuyun, thinking A Ya was indeed being a bit overbearing.

A Ya pursed her lips, looking displeased, but said nothing further.

After a moment's thought, Luo Yun took out the pill furnace and began refining.

She skillfully warmed the furnace, added herbs, and melted them, impressing Mu Ranxing and A Ya beside her.

Ye Liuyun's clone also began cultivating curse techniques, absorbing the power of the Spirit Stone. It occasionally uttered a few words.

"Add herbs, the fire's too high…" it pretended to be that kind of thing.

In any case, Mu Ranxing and A Ya didn't understand.

Luo Yun also improvised on the spot; after melting the herbs, she directly fused the two drops of Life Spring Water, forming the pill.

After the pill formed, she reduced the flame, saying the pill needed nurturing. Using True Essence, she enveloped the pill to preserve its effect until Ye Liuyun finished his cultivation.

Ye Liuyun's clone, at this moment, was fully absorbing the Spirit Stone's power.

This power actually serves to ward off curses.

The clone didn't take long before absorbing enough Spirit Stone power. After thinking, it returned to the Space World and restored Ye Liuyun.

Since there was plenty of time, why not let Ye Liuyun also cultivate a bit; more skills won't weigh him down!

Ye Liuyun had originally worried about time, which is why he sent his clone to cultivate.

Now that the time isn't long, he also tries to seize the moment to cultivate.

"Where did you go just now?"

A Ya now, though somewhat trusting of the two of them, remains very cautious.

"I went to look for a herb. I'm researching whether there's another way to refine a pill with the same effect!" Ye Liuyun explained.

"How much longer?" Luo Yun asked via Transmission Voice.

She is now using her own flame, consuming her True Essence, fearing she can't sustain it.

"Just try to hold on as best you can!" Ye Liuyun replied with Divine Sense.

Immediately, he pretended to guide Luo Yun: "Control the flame; it can be a bit smaller!"

"If the flame gets smaller, won't it go out?" A Ya asked, puzzled.

But Luo Yun's flame‑control was very skillful. She lowered the flame slightly without extinguishing it.

Ye Liuyun was too lazy to explain, focusing solely on absorbing the Spirit Stone platform's power.

Mu Ranxing, however, warned A Ya discontentedly: "If you don't understand, don't speak nonsense!"

Seeing the flame indeed remained, A Ya closed her mouth apologetically.

Their pill refining on the stage also attracted many members of the Curse Clan watching from below.

At that moment, an elder of the Curse Clan approached A Ya and asked, "A Ya, what are you doing?"

A Ya's eyes lit up at the elder: "Uncle A Sheng, they're refining a medicinal pill for the Clan Chief! Come take a look!"

Saying that, A Ya gestured for the elder to step onto the stage.

The elder, also curious, climbed onto the stage and introduced himself: "I'm the clan's physician; you can call me A Sheng."

Ye Liuyun had to divert his attention to deal with him and gave a brief self‑introduction.

The elder called A Sheng, upon seeing Luo Yun's flame, frowned: "What is she doing?"

"Refining a pill! A special pill‑nurturing method!" Ye Liuyun said, noting the elder seemed to know some pill arts.

"I don't know how to refine pills, but I understand the importance of flame; I've never seen True Essence used to wrap a nascent pill while refining with such a tiny flame!" the elder said skeptically, looking at Ye Liuyun.

A Ya also wore a "just as I thought" expression, looking at Ye Liuyun.

"The world is vast and full of wonders! The path of pill cultivation is ever‑changing; it's normal for a senior not to have seen this before!" Ye Liuyun said lightly.

The elder glanced at him, then asked about the herbs used; Ye Liuyun answered truthfully, but omitted the Life Spring Water.

Mu Ranxing and A Ya didn't understand and paid no mind to the two drops of water.

The elder, after hearing, was even more puzzled. "These herbs you mention don't seem to boost vitality!"

Ye Liuyun gave a slight smile: "Some key ingredients in the formula are ones I cannot disclose openly!"

The Alchemist's rule is not to reveal the prescription to others, especially some crucial herbs.

The old man understood this principle, so he also dared not confirm whether Ye Liuyun was deceiving him.

He also used the tribal language, like asking A Ya in detail about Luo Yun's alchemy process.

A Ya this time only thought to speak about adding those two drops of water.

"It seems those two drops of liquid are the medicinal liquid he prepared in advance." the old man thought.

However, just two drops of liquid, he also couldn't confirm what ingredient it is.
