Chapter 1043: I’ve Successfully Produced the Pill

Chu Liuyue looked over in shock, only to realize that the two Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds had come together at some point and were encircling each other at the bottom of the Heavenly Square Cauldron and that the whirring sound was produced from their powers affecting each other.
An invisible wave of energy rushed out and spread outside.
Appalled, Chu Liuyue quickly slapped the Heavenly Square Cauldron with one hand, making the invisible karmic fire grow bigger. “Stop!”
Like a leaping elf, flames rose and stopped that wave of energy from spreading. The residual energy hit the cauldron’s inner wall and produced an ear-splitting whirring sound.
The tremors numbed Chu Liuyue’s arms, but she didn’t let go. Her palms remained stuck to the cauldron as she continuously injected force into it and controlled the invisible karmic fire to suppress the two seeds.
After a while, the ripples finally ceased.
“Phew…” Chu Liuyue let out a long breath as she watched the two Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds gradually calm down and quietly stay at the bottom of the cauldron. Had my reaction been any slower or my force not been enough, these two seeds surely would’ve escaped from here.
At this moment, she felt incredibly thankful that she had broken through to become a stage-seven warrior and had absorbed the rich force of the Beiming Dynasty’s ancestor, for she would’ve been really helpless in this situation otherwise.
“These two seeds are so cunning!” After coming back to her senses, she stared at the seemingly harmless Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds with a frown. I could clearly feel that they were trying to take advantage of the opportunity to escape!
“Most of your energy and attention are directed elsewhere when you’re refining pills, so your control over the karmic fire naturally slackened. It’s normal that the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds would try to escape at times like this.” Dugu Mobao—who was sitting next to her—was much calmer compared to Chu Liuyue, who was worried and scared. “Once you become stronger and can completely control them, you naturally won’t encounter such trouble again.”
Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched. “So… When would that be?”
Dugu Mobao shot her a side-glance. “When you can produce a Holy Body, of course.”
“…Forget I asked anything.”
Does this lass think of the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds as some ordinary items? Dugu Mobao narrowed his eyes. “Although the Heavenly Square Cauldron can help you suppress them, you ultimately have to rely on your own abilities to completely subdue them.”
Chu Liuyue sighed. “I know; I just find it a bit troublesome.”
The corners of Dugu Mobao’s eyelids twitched. Those two seeds are something that many people can only dream of owning. She has two, and yet she finds them a bother… She really doesn’t know how incredibly lucky she is!
“In that case, the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds might come out and cause trouble each time I use the Heavenly Square Cauldron to refine pills?” At the thought of this, Chu Liuyue looked at the herbs that had just gathered together with frustration. Pill refining requires concentration. I’m lucky that it hasn’t been long since I started refining the pill, so I could still divert a bit of attention to dealing with the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds. However, if this had happened in the middle—or worse, toward the end… There’s no telling what might’ve happened.
“It won’t happen every time.” Dugu Mobao paused before adding, “Besides, the seeds won’t be able to do much when the Heavenly Square Cauldron is around.”
Hearing that, Chu Liuyue looked at him in surprise. He… thinks so highly of the Heavenly Square Cauldron? I remember Ancestor saying that Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds are something that only legends own and that they are extraordinarily powerful. If the Heavenly Square Cauldron is more powerful than them, then…
“Continue refining the pill.” Dugu Mobao glanced outside.
It was twilight now, and everywhere was quiet.
“The earlier commotion didn’t reach outside, so you don’t have to worry.”
Chu Liuyue nodded and put her thoughts away. It was only when she had made sure that the karmic fire had completely suppressed the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seeds that she started to continue refining the pill. It’s a good thing that I’ve been paying attention to the refining process as well. The red flame had enveloped the herbs that started to fuse together, almost creating a barrier against the ripples of energy outside, so it wasn’t affected by anything.
With a deep breath, she then began refining the pill.
…
Night was over in the blink of an eye. When the morning light shone down, Lin Tianfeng couldn’t resist turning his head toward the tightly closed doors once more.
Throughout the night, not a single sound was heard coming from the room. Even though he was waiting anxiously outside, he didn’t dare to disturb Chu Liuyue.
However, what he didn’t know was that Lu Yu’er had been quietly waiting outside the courtyard with Lu Yi since a long time ago. She had specifically ordered the servants not to announce their arrival so as not to disturb the people inside.
Time slowly ticked by, and Lu Yi gradually became impatient. After looking to his left and right, he couldn’t resist grumbling, “Sis, you’re the matriarch of the Lin family after all. You can go anywhere you want, so why must you be so submissive and live under Lin Zhifei’s mercy?”
“What do you know?!” Lu Yu’er shot him a glare. Only by doing this can my position in the family be higher! Lin Zhifei is Lin Tianfeng’s most favored son. No matter what he does, Lin Tianfeng can’t bear to scold him. Would he dare to behave like this if Lin Tianfeng didn’t indulge him so much in the first place? Although it appears like I’m bowing my head to Lin Zhifei, I’m actually giving Lin Tianfeng face! This bit of grievance is nothing. As long as I can make Lin Tianfeng feel guilty toward me, I can get whatever I want in the future. And it’s all because of this that I managed to get to where I am now.
She calmed herself down a little. “That heavenly doctor is currently refining pills inside, and my husband is helping to guard the room. Once the pill is successfully refined, it might be able to cure the Fourth Young Master’s illness.”
“What heavenly doctor? Lin Zhifei has seen so many heavenly doctors over the years. Who can possibly do anything about his illness when even the Lin family’s chief heavenly doctor can’t do anything about it—the Grand Elder is a ninth-grade heavenly doctor!” Lu Yi snickered. I heard that he found that heavenly doctor himself. Pfft, if that heavenly doctor really was capable, would they need to do this?
“Don’t shoot your mouth off,” Lu Yu’er reminded him. “You might as well think about what you’re going to say to my husband when you see him later!”
Lu Yi choked, and only then did he stop talking.
Just then, a wave of energy fluctuations spread from the courtyard, along with a crisp collision sound. Not long after, a rich herbal fragrance wafted in the air.
Lu Yu’er breathed in deeply, only to feel refreshed and relaxed. Her eyes snapped wide open in shock. “H-how can this possibly be a seventh-grade pill?!” This energy fluctuation… This smell… Both definitely aren’t what a seventh-grade pill can have!
Meanwhile, Lin Tianfeng looked equally bewildered in the courtyard.
Creak…
The doors opened, and out walked a slender figure.
Lin Tianfeng hurriedly rushed forward.
Despite her somewhat pale complexion and the dark circles under her eyes, Chu Liuyue pulled her lips back into a satisfied smile and handed a jade box over to Lin Tianfeng. “Master Lin, I’ve successfully produced the pill.”
Inside the box lay a red pill with eight distinct lines.
Lin Tianfeng gasped. “An eighth-grade pill?!”
