673. Chapter 671 Believe Time Will Prove Your Innocence

He knew this was a technique within the Five Elements Escape Technique, and only those who had truly become pill masters could master it.

As time passed, Lu Yuan's movements became more and more skilled, and he threw various herbs and materials into the furnace.

His technique was skillful and precise, controlling the fire and his power, allowing the pill to gradually form in the furnace.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from outside the door — Yan Jun's.

Lu Yuan sensed something might be amiss, stopped what he was doing, and waited for Yan Jun to enter.

Yan Jun entered the pill-refining chamber with a solemn expression, his gaze toward Lu Yuan tinged with a hint of worry.

"Lu Yuan! There's something I need to tell you."

Yan Jun whispered, "Recently, someone inside our Lei Huo Dan Ge has been secretly leaking information to the outside."

Lu Yuan froze for a moment, his brows slightly furrowed.

"What news? Who is it?" he asked nervously.

"The specifics are still under investigation."

Yan Jun replied, "But I suspect it's related to you."

"The situation is not optimistic."

Lu Yuan was caught off guard by this sudden news; he never imagined he would be dragged into the internal strife of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

"Yan Jun, I… how could I be dragged into something like this?"

Lu Yuan's voice trembled slightly. A surge of anger and helplessness welled up in his heart.

Yan Jun gave Lu Yuan a deep look, his tone solemn: "Lu Yuan, you must not let this affect your own cultivation and career."

"Justice is transparent; believe that time will prove your innocence."

Lu Yuan remained silent, knowing Yan Jun was right.

At this moment, what he should do is stay calm and focused, continue striving to improve himself.

Over the next few days, Lu Yuan devoted himself entirely to pill-refining work.

He spent almost all his time cultivating, and under Yan Jun's guidance handed over the newly refined pills to him.

Yan Jun examined each pill carefully, nodded in satisfaction, and praised Lu Yuan: "Lu Yuan, your progress is truly astonishing!"

"These pills are exquisitely crafted, and their effects are quite outstanding."

"You may keep the excess portion as your personal collection."

Hearing Yan Jun's praise, Lu Yuan felt greatly relieved.

He knew his efforts over this period had not been in vain.

Not long after, Yan Jun told Lu Yuan that he planned to go into secluded cultivation outside for a period of time.

He believed Lu Yuan had become mature and stable enough to manage Lei Huo Dan Ge, and appointed his deputy Lan Ying to handle daily affairs.

"Lu Yuan, I have full confidence in you."

"I believe you will handle the internal strife of Lei Huo Dan Ge well." Yan Jun said solemnly.

"Yan Jun, please rest assured."

"I will give my all to protect Lei Huo Dan Ge and everything you have given me." Lu Yuan replied earnestly.

Yan Jun smiled and nodded, saying to Lu Yuan: "Alright, I believe you."

"Keep working hard!"

Lu Yuan watched Yan Jun's retreating back as he turned and left, a sense of responsibility and mission welling up in his heart.

He resolved not to disappoint Yan Jun's expectations, and to strive to safeguard the interests of Lei Huo Dan Ge.

After returning to his residence, Lu Yuan felt utterly exhausted and decided to rest a bit.

He lay down on the bed and closed his eyes.

In his dream, Lu Yuan felt a wonderful change in the energy within his body.

Countless multicolored rays emanated from within his body, enveloping the entire room.

He felt a powerful force gradually gathering.

Suddenly, the Lu Yuan in the dream opened his eyes.

But at that moment he realized he had not awakened; instead, he had entered a mysterious space.

All around was a boundless starry sky, within which countless mysterious symbols and patterns floated.

Straight ahead stood an old man wearing a Daoist robe, his hair white as snow, his skin ancient bronze, practicing immortal arts.

This person was none other than the Supreme Dao Ancestor, Lu Yuan's master.

"Master, how did I get here?" Lu Yuan asked, puzzled.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor smiled and said: "Lu Yuan, you are now in a dream."

"This space is my cultivation ground; I have come specially to teach you some immortal arts."

"Your cultivation progress has been good, but some potential remains untapped."

Having said that, the Supreme Dao Ancestor raised the talisman in his hand, and a powerful surge of energy rushed into Lu Yuan's body.

Lu Yuan felt his inner power rapidly increase, the multicolored light growing brighter.

The Supreme Dao Ancestor nodded in satisfaction, then told Lu Yuan: "When you wake up, you will discover an unexpected surprise within yourself."

"Remember, wield this power freely, and continually improve yourself."

Having heard the Supreme Dao Ancestor's teachings, Lu Yuan's heart filled with hope and motivation.

He resolved to fully master this power and achieve greater breakthroughs in his cultivation.

The dream gradually faded, and in the last glimmer of light, Lu Yuan returned to the real world.

Opening his eyes, Lu Yuan felt that the power within his body had become extraordinarily strong.

He knew this was a wonderful ability granted by the Supreme Dao Ancestor.

In the secret alchemy room of Lei Huo Dan Ge, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan both wore solemn expressions.

The room was filled with a rich medicinal aroma, and countless rare herbs and spiritual materials were carefully arranged to one side.

"Su Liyan, this demand list is not only huge in quantity, but also has very high requirements for elixir quality," Lu Yuan said, frowning.

Su Liyan raised her head to look at Lu Yuan and smiled: "It's fine, Lu Yuan."

"We can work together to handle this task."

"I will use my ice immortal technique to improve elixir quality."

Lu Yuan nodded in agreement; he knew well that Su Liyan's ice immortal technique could, to some extent, enhance the elixir's efficacy.

The two began to work busily; Lu Yuan controlled the flame in his hand with perfect precision and fully released the spiritual energy contained in the spiritual materials.

And Su Liyan used the Ice Crystal Long Whip to manipulate the cold air condensed from snowflakes falling from her body; after several swings, she successfully lowered the flame's temperature and restored the original balanced temperature.

The spiritual materials were further refined, and the two's cooperation became ever more tacit.

Under Lu Yuan's guidance, Su Liyan gradually learned to control the balance between flame and cold air.

She felt deep gratitude toward Lu Yuan in her heart; under his guidance, her understanding of immortal techniques and elixirs became even more profound.

After several hours of careful refinement, Lei Huo Dan Ge gradually produced a large amount of highly effective, top-quality battle elixirs.

Lu Yuan looked at the pile of elixirs as high as a mountain before him and felt joy.

He decided to keep a portion for his own cultivation, so that he would have a greater advantage when battling heretical forces.

"Su Liyan, these elixirs are enough to meet the quantity listed on the list."

Lu Yuan said satisfiedly.

"We will first send these to the front line for support and prepare other supplies."

Su Liyan nodded, and she took out a pair of Monaco scarce crystal clear, emitting icy cold air, the Fobao cold jade ice slices. (End of chapter)
