Chapter 134: Herbal Refining, Strength Leaps Up
After returning to the Immortal Palace, Yan Yue immediately moved the precious Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus along with other spiritual herbs and medicines into the alchemy room.
Nong Jin followed her closely like a large pet dog, and from time to time he would say words of concern like "Wife, do you need help?" and "Wife, are you tired?"
Yan Yue's head ached because of his noise, but it was difficult to chase him away, so he rolled his eyes helplessly: "If you really want to help, just shut up and don't disturb me while I'm refining the pill."
Nong Jin immediately fell silent and stood aside obediently, like a big puppy waiting to be fed.
Yan Yue took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then began to refine the elixir.
She first carefully placed the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus into the alchemy furnace, and then added other spiritual medicines in order according to the instructions on the alchemy recipe.
After doing all this, Yan Yue mobilized his spiritual power and ignited the underground fire under the furnace.
A raging fire suddenly rose up, illuminating the entire alchemy room in red.
Yan Yue was concentrating on controlling the temperature, not daring to relax at all.
Refining this kind of high-level elixir requires extremely high control over the temperature. Any carelessness will lead to failure in refining the elixir and may even cause the elixir furnace to explode.
As time passed, the medicinal liquid in the furnace began to gradually blend.
However, just when Yan Yue thought that everything was going smoothly, something strange happened!
The medicinal liquid in the furnace suddenly rolled violently, making a gurgling sound, as if it was about to burst out at any time.
Yan Yue's face changed and he quickly increased the output of his spiritual power, trying to suppress the restlessness of the medicine liquid.
However, her efforts seemed to have no effect, and the rolling of the medicine liquid became even more violent.
A burning smell emanated from the furnace, and Yan Yue's heart suddenly sank. He secretly said, "Not good!"
"Oh!"
With a muffled sound, the lid of the alchemy furnace was blown off by a powerful force, and the boiling hot medicine liquid splashed everywhere.
Yan Yue quickly cast a defensive spell to avoid being scalded by the liquid medicine.
Looking at the burnt medicinal residue, Yan Yue's mood plummeted to the bottom.
She felt a little frustrated because she failed in her first attempt to refine the elixir.
More importantly, the precious Nine-Revolution Golden Lotus was wasted, which made her feel extremely distressed.
"Wife..." Nong Jin walked cautiously to Yan Yue, wanting to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.
Yan Yue sat dejectedly on the ground, staring blankly at the medicine residue on the ground, muttering to himself, "How could this happen... Did I do something wrong..."
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she raised her head abruptly, a gleam of light flashing in her eyes: "Wait... Medicine Valley..."
Yan Yue slapped her thigh and exclaimed, "Fuck! How could I have forgotten about this!" Nong Jin was startled, thinking that the explosion had made his wife stupid. He quickly stepped forward and asked with concern, "Honey, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yan Yue pushed away his big face and said, "Go away, go away. Don't block my way while I think!" She remembered that when she was picking the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus in the Medicine Valley, she noticed that there was a strange spiritual energy in the valley. This spiritual energy was different from ordinary spiritual energy and seemed to carry a hint of coldness.
She didn't care about it at the time, but now she thinks that this cold and gloomy energy might be the key to refining the Nine-Transformation Golden Lotus Pill!
"So that's it! I was wondering why I couldn't refine it! It seems I'm missing this ingredient!" Yan Yue suddenly realized and jumped up excitedly.
She rekindled the underground fire under the alchemy furnace. This time, she blended a trace of cold and gloomy air into the underground fire and carefully controlled the temperature.
Nong Jin silently guarded Yan Yue from the side, watching her busy figure, his heart filled with love.
Alchemy is a delicate job, and beads of sweat appeared on Yan Yue's forehead.
Seeing this, Nong Jin quickly grabbed a handkerchief and gently wiped the sweat off her face.
"Wife, thank you for your hard work." Nong Jin's gentle voice sounded in Yan Yue's ears.
Yan Yue's heart warmed, and she turned to smile at him: "It's okay, it will be fine soon."
With the help of the cold and yin energy, the medicinal liquid in the furnace began to fuse again. This time, the medicinal liquid no longer rolled violently, but rotated slowly, emitting bursts of fragrance.
As time went by, the medicinal fragrance became stronger and stronger, and a golden pill gradually condensed into shape in the furnace.
"It's done!" A hint of joy flashed in Yan Yue's eyes.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a powerful aura approaching quickly... "Jin, do you feel it..."
Before Yan Yue could finish his words, several dark shadows descended from the sky and surrounded them.
These dark shadows were dressed in black, with hideous masks on their faces, and exuded a cold aura. It was obvious that they were not good people.
"Hehehe... The Nine-Transformation Golden Lotus Pill is indeed worthy of its reputation!" The leading black-clad man laughed sinisterly, "Hand over the pill obediently, and I'll spare your lives!"
Nong Jin sneered, "You idiots, you dare to set your sights on my wife? Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves!"
After saying that, Nong Jin took out his own magic weapon - a huge axe shining with golden light, and chopped it fiercely at the man in black.
"Fuck! This kid is something!" a man in black exclaimed.
"What are you afraid of! We are numerous and powerful, let's attack together!" shouted another man in black.
Thus, a melee broke out.
Nong Jin is worthy of being the Immortal Emperor. He is extremely powerful and can fight against several men in black alone without being at a disadvantage.
He swung the giant axe in his hand with great force, and each attack was unstoppable, forcing the man in black to retreat again and again.
At this moment, the Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus Pill in the furnace was finally refined.
Yan Yue grabbed the pill and swallowed it without hesitation.
The pill melted in his mouth, and a powerful energy instantly surged throughout his body. Yan Yue felt that his strength was increasing rapidly.
"Breakthrough! Late stage of Spirit Transformation!" Yan Yue was ecstatic.
She suddenly opened her eyes, and her eyes flashed with brilliance.
"You little trash, your time of death has come!" Yan Yue sneered and joined the battle.
She flashed and instantly appeared behind a man in black. She slapped him with one palm, sending him flying.
"That's it? I thought you were so powerful, but it turns out you're just some noobs!" Yan Yue complained while fighting.
After taking the Nine-Turn Golden Lotus Pill, Yan Yue's strength skyrocketed, and dealing with these men in black was as easy as cutting melons and vegetables.
After a while, the men in black were defeated by Yan Yue and Nong Jin, leaving only the leading man in black still struggling to hold on.
"You... who are you?" the leading man in black asked in horror.
Yan Yue sneered: "The one who wants to kill you!" After that, Yan Yue slapped out with one palm, directly beating the leading man in black into a pulp.
After the battle, Nong Jin walked over to Yan Yue and gently held her in his arms: "Wife, are you okay?"
Yan Yue shook his head and looked up at Nong Jin, a cunning glint in his eyes: "Jin, tell me... where should we go to cause trouble next?"
Yan Yue clapped his hands, brushed off the non-existent dust, and looked relaxed as if he had finished his work.
"Making trouble? No hurry, no hurry, let's digest the medicinal properties of this Nine Revolutions Golden Lotus Pill first." She winked playfully and took Nong Jin's hand, "Let's go and find a good Feng Shui spot to retreat!"
Nong Jin scratched her nose lovingly and said, "I knew you were a little money-grubber. You want to hide away and count your money after getting benefits." Although he said so, he was very cooperative in action. With a wave of his hand, he tore the space apart and brought Yan Yue to a valley filled with spiritual energy.
"Wow! This place is nice! The spiritual energy is so rich that it seems to be overflowing!" Yan Yue took a deep breath and felt all the pores on his body open up.
"Of course! This is the private treasure land of this Immortal Emperor. I wouldn't bring ordinary people here!" Nong Jin looked proud, as if this valley was created by him personally.
In the next few days, Yan Yue practiced in seclusion in this valley to consolidate his newfound strength.
Nong Jin was like a dedicated bodyguard, guarding her every step of the way, and taking the opportunity to absorb the rich spiritual energy to improve his own cultivation.
After all, my wife has become stronger, so I can’t hold her back!
Although the days of cultivation are boring, they are full of fun for Yan Yue.
While absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, she was pondering new combat techniques. From time to time, she would take out some strange elixirs and magic weapons to study, and she had a lot of fun.
A few days later, Yan Yue finally came out of confinement.
She looked refreshed and radiant, and exuded a strong sense of confidence.
"I feel good! Now even if another group of men in black come, I can easily handle it!"
Nong Jin looked at the refreshed Yan Yue with admiration in his eyes: "She is worthy of being my wife, she is amazing!"
"Of course!" Yan Yue raised his chin proudly. "But it's boring to practice in seclusion all the time. How about we go out for a walk?"
"That's exactly what I want!" Nong Jin agreed readily.
The two walked hand in hand in the valley, admiring the beautiful scenery around them.
As he walked, Yan Yue suddenly stopped, looked up into the distance, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Jin," she said mysteriously, "I feel... as if something is calling me over there..."
Nong Jin followed her gaze and saw clouds and mist in the distance, making it difficult to see the specific situation.
He frowned slightly, a sense of vigilance rising in his heart.
"What is that? Could it be those men in black again?"
Yan Yue shook her head: "It's not like... This feeling... is very different..." She paused and said firmly, "Let's go and take a look!"
