Chapter 441 Mission Accomplished

“Buzz!”

As time passed, the room gradually filled with a dense fragrance of medicine, invigorating those who inhaled it.

The Turtle Pattern Stone had already been fused into the medicinal liquid by Ji Chen, continuing to be refined with Pill Fire.

During which, Master Mu Yi occasionally stepped in to help refine some herbs or would ask Ji Chen questions whenever he wasn’t quite sure about the heating of a certain herb.

After all, many of the herbs used here were the first time Ji Chen had encountered them, having never been in contact before.

Moreover, he was currently refining a Saint Tier Third Grade elixir, and with many herbs being extremely rare, Ji Chen naturally had to be extra cautious to prevent any risk of failure.

“So much time has passed, how is the progress of the two masters in alchemy now?”

Outside the room, in the courtyard, Yao Qian and others were waiting anxiously.

Since Ji Chen and Master Mu Yi entered the Pill Room, they had stayed here, not going anywhere else.

Yao Chengming was worried in his heart, for this Purple Essence Pill concerned the rise and fall of the entire Yao Family.

“Creak…”

Finally, on the second day, in the afternoon.

The door that had been tightly closed was opened, and Ji Chen and Master Mu Yi stepped out one after another.

Both of their faces showed a hint of fatigue.

Clearly, during the period of alchemy, the consumption of their Spiritual Power was considerable.

“Masters, what about the Purple Essence Pill…”

Yao Chengming and others hurriedly stepped forward, unable to resist asking.

But Ji Chen and Master Mu Yi exchanged a glance without speaking, then Ji Chen slightly opened his palm with a smile on his face, “Luckily, though the medicinal potency only retained eighty percent, it was successfully refined.”

Looking towards Ji Chen’s palm, upon seeing the thumb-sized purple elixir, Yao Chengming’s face immediately showed immense joy.

“Did it really succeed?”

He picked up the elixir and examined it carefully, still finding it somewhat surreal.

“The refinement this time was far more complex than imagined, and the consumption of Spiritual Power exceeded our expectations. Patriarch Yao should promptly arrange a quiet room for Master Ji to rest.” Master Mu Yi opened his mouth.

He participated in the entire alchemy process and knew that during this refinement, Ji Chen’s Spiritual Power consumption was huge, much higher than expected.

He merely helped refine a few herbs, and his Spiritual Power was almost half consumed.

It is conceivable how much Spiritual Power Ji Chen, who refined most of the herbs, consumed.

At the same time, Mu Yi was also shocked.

From this refinement, if it weren’t for Ji Chen being the main alchemist, if relying solely on himself, the alchemy would certainly end in failure.

He knew very well that relying solely on his Spiritual Power strength, he simply couldn’t support it.

This also meant that Ji Chen’s Spiritual Power strength was far more terrifying than he imagined.

“Master Mu Yi is right, I’ll arrange it right away.”

Yao Chengming also realized, immediately leading Ji Chen away from the courtyard and personally arranging a secluded yard for him.

After Yao Chengming and others left, Ji Chen finally sat down in the courtyard, nourishing himself and recovering his Spiritual Power.

Late at night, he awoke from meditation and exhaled deeply, the Spiritual Power consumed during alchemy had now mostly recovered.

But what still puzzled Ji Chen was that during this alchemy, there was no Pill Tribulation.

In the past, let alone Saint-grade elixirs, when he refined Ninth Grade Mortal Elixirs, there would be a Pill Tribulation appearing.

“Could it be because the environment of the Immortal Realm is different from the Lower Realm, and the Great Dao has changed?” he murmured, thinking of this possibility.

Most likely.

Otherwise, during this alchemy, without bringing down the Pill Tribulation, Master Mu Yi would certainly find it strange.

But judging by the expression during the day, he didn’t seem to think anything was odd.

This suggests that, in the Immortal Realm, even when refining Saint-grade elixirs, there won’t be a Pill Tribulation.

“Young Master Ji, have you rested?”

Just as Ji Chen was thinking this, a voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard gate.

Ji Chen was taken aback, recognizing it was Yao Qian.

“Not yet, is there something Fairy wants with me?” he responded, rising and opening the courtyard gate to welcome Yao Qian in.

“This is the record I mentioned earlier that I wanted to give you. It contains a lot of information about the Immortal Realm.” She took out a folded paper, similar to a letter, and handed it to Ji Chen.

“Thank you.”

Ji Chen received it, knowing he indeed needed this material.

“Has the Purple Essence Pill been given to Elder Yao? How is the situation?”

He was not in a rush to read it, instead first putting away the record to look at it at leisure later, while asking Yao Qian about this matter.

Upon hearing Ji Chen’s question, a smile appeared on Yao Qian’s face, then she spoke, “After grandfather took the Purple Essence Pill, his complexion has improved, and Master Mu Yi personally checked it. If nothing unexpected happens, at least seven days, at most half a month, grandfather’s internal injuries will be completely cured.”

“That’s good.” Ji Chen nodded.

He was only responsible for helping refine the elixir, as to whether this Purple Essence Pill could truly assist Yao Jieyong’s injuries, he did not know.

“It’s late, so please rest first. If there is anything you need, feel free to ask, our Yao Family will try to accommodate.” She spoke.

Though Ji Chen helped with the alchemy as repayment for the Yao Family’s lifesaving grace, in Yao Qian’s view, Ji Chen’s assistance to the Yao Family was clearly greater.

After all, the Purple Essence Pill concerns the rise and fall of the entire family.

“Alright, thanks, Fairy.” Ji Chen nodded.

“Yao Qian takes her leave.” She slightly bowed, preparing to leave.

“By the way.”

Ji Chen suddenly remembered something and called out to her.

Yao Qian was slightly stunned and turned back.

“Buzz!”

Only to see the space slightly vibrate, Ji Chen flipped his palm to reveal a piece of Cyan Jade in front of her, opening his mouth to ask, “Have you ever seen this item, Fairy? Or do you know its origin?”

This piece of Cyan Jade was left behind by the mysterious woman who took Qu Luoning at that time.

Ji Chen brought it from the Lower Realm, knowing it’s the key to quickly locating Qu Luoning.

Qu Luoning looked curious, took the Cyan Jade from his hand, and examined it closely.

At first, she didn’t find anything special about the jade, but then she turned it over and saw the lotus mark carved on it, and her beautiful face showed a touch of surprise.
