"We’re here."
Feixue led the two of them to a treacherous cliff, where Yinfeng was anxiously pacing in circles, unwilling to give up.
"Here? There’s nothing here?"
Long Keyue looked at the empty cliff face before them, puzzled.
"Haha, of course, without , none of you can enter. Kid, do I have style or not?"
Yinfeng appeared with a smug look, lazily half-lying in mid-air, casually tossing a fruit in its claw, enjoying itself.
Is this guy an old rascal?
Ye Haochuan and Long Keyue exchanged glances and smiled knowingly at each other, thinking in harmony.
"Yinfeng, enough, aren’t you too old to be sulking like a child?" Feixue rolled her big eyes in dissatisfaction.
"..."
Yinfeng’s expression tightened as his whisker wriggled together, unable to retort.
"Hehe, Uncle Yinfeng is so cute."
Long Keyue giggled adorably, having learned from a young age how to endear herself to the elderly—why else would she receive the love of the Long Family elders? For her, dealing with old-tirs was second nature, backed by extensive experience.
"Haha, our Little Yueyue is still the sweetest."
Yinfeng chuckled happily, his whisker fluttering rrily, adorably.
"Huh?"
Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed that as Yinfeng’s whisker fluttered, the cliff before them seed to ripple like reflections on water.
Soon, a purple-black vortex appeared out of nowhere before them.
"How’s that? Recognize my style now, huh!"
Yinfeng gloated at the vortex.
"Let’s go in. This is the place where the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit grows."
Feixue glanced at the vortex with a complicated expression and led Long Keyue onwards, flying boldly inside. She hadn’t visited here since the disagreent with Yinfeng.
"Aweso!"
Ye Haochuan gave Yinfeng a thumbs-up and then turned to enter the vortex.
"Ah! You’re such a likable kid, haha."
Seeing this, Yinfeng felt a sweetness like honey inside, happily hopping into the vortex.
Whoosh~
Once Yinfeng jumped in, the vortex vanished into the world, and the place returned to being a sheer cliff.
The space was a fragnted remnant, though small, rich in spiritual energy.
At the edge of the space was a small pool of spiritual liquid, with a blood-red grass at its center, with only one leaf, and atop the leaf was a verdant fruit.
"This is the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit."
Feixue spoke with a slight sigh, standing beneath the phoenix tree.
"Doesn’t seem particularly special?"
Long Keyue looked at the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit, failing to see its uniqueness.
"That’s because it hasn’t reached its maturation ti yet."
Ye Haochuan had seen introductions in previous pill recipes.
He knew that at maturity, the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit would absorb all the nutrients from the grass leaf, turning the fruit from verdant to blood-red, and the grass leaf would beco ash, leaving only the root to regenerate.
Suddenly, the blood-red grass leaf of the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit gradually turned to ash, while the fruit oscillated in waves, becoming increasingly red and smaller.
"Quick, it’s about to mature; the best effect is gained at the precise mont it matures." Yinfeng yelled urgently.
Just as it turned its head, it saw a gigantic Pill Furnace already ablaze with roaring flas.
"Why are you spacing out? Hand over the prepared herbs quickly."
As Ye Haochuan controlled the flas, maintaining the Pill Furnace at the set temperature, he spoke to Yinfeng.
"Alright, got it!"
Yinfeng opened its large mouth, pouring out heaps of herbs like a mountain.
"Fire Heart Seven-Leaf Flower, incinerate... Wandering Cloud Lotus Seed and Purple Orchid Pistil enter the furnace simultaneously... The Purple Spirit Sculpting Flower’s pistil needs to be burnt to a crisp, but the petals must not be overheated..."
Following the steps outlined in the Qianyuan Nirvana Pill recipe, Ye Haochuan began the preliminary phases of pill production.
Ti passed slowly, and soon twenty minutes had gone by.
The Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit grew smaller and redder, with fewer leaves.
"What’s going on? Didn’t it say around fifteen minutes? Why hasn’t it matured yet?"
Ye Haochuan maintained the flas, preserving the already refined dicinal liquid as much as possible.
According to the recipe, the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit should have matured by now, ready to be added to the Pill Furnace for optimal efficacy.
But the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit seed to be delayed.
"What’s happening?"
Yinfeng was also anxious, having invested so much in the quest for the Qianyuan Nirvana Pill, only to face an unexpected hurdle at the final step.
"Forget it! The effectiveness might drop, but if I don’t add it now, the previous ingredients will be wasted."
With a morose face, Yinfeng was about to pick the mostly-mature Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit.
"Wait, look at the spiritual liquid pool."
Just then, Long Keyue noticed the spirit qi liquid in the pool was vanishing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and as it did, the ripening speed of the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit increased.
Clink~
After a soft sound, a button-sized, transparent, radiant hexagonal object appeared in mid-air, resembling a blood-red diamond.
"So beautiful!"
Upon its ergence, Long Keyue’s eyes beca sparkling stars.
Mature!
Sweating profusely, Ye Haochuan was overjoyed, having gone through great lengths to refine the earlier dicinal liquid to its purest state.
"Co to !"
Ye Haochuan shouted as he surrounded the blood diamond-like Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit with spiritual energy, placing it into the Alchemy Furnace.
Boom~
Instantly, the Pill Furnace erupted with thunderous sounds.
Beside the Pill Furnace, the mountain of herbs had all been added to the furnace.
Inside the Pill Furnace, a massive dicinal liquid glob spun rapidly, with flashes of purple Lotus Fla traversing it. Each traverse emitted a wisp of blue smoke, reducing it further.
Every now and then, strands of spiritual energy would penetrate the liquid, blending wholly with it.
The dicinal liquid glob beca smaller, thicker.
"Qianyuan Unlimited, Light Splitting Shadow Tracing, open!"
With a loud shout, Ye Haochuan unleashed six blood-red pills from the Alchemy Furnace, each adorned with nine purple-golden lines.
"Superior-Grade Qianyuan Nirvana Pill!"
Feixue and Yinfeng exclaid in surprise, staring at Ye Haochuan in amazent, internally marveling at this miracle!
In their perspective, Ye Haochuan was attempting the recipe for the first ti, and given the delay in the Heavenly Primordial Nirvana Fruit’s maturation, they had prepared for failure. But unexpectedly, Ye Haochuan succeeded.
Moreover, he achieved a superior-grade result, far exceeding their highest expectations.
