Setting Sun Forest, Ice Fire Yin Yang Well!
Lu Yuan sat with his legs crossed beside the scorching Sun Spring, and there was a massive cauldron in front of him.
He was gently making hand gestures, and the flames within the cauldron were pulsing. The intensity of the flames fluctuated from time to time, but it always maintained the most suitable temperature.
It had been three days since he had returned to the academy.
Three days ago, Lu Yuan had given Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan immortal herbs, then rested for the night before returning here.
It had to be said that immortal herbs were indeed extraordinary. A single stalk of Beautiful Silk Tulip had allowed Ning Rongrong's martial soul to evolve from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
A single Earth Dragon Golden Melon had also allowed Dugu Yan's Jade Scaled Snake martial soul to successfully evolve into a Jade Scaled Flood Dragon. At the same time, Dugu Yan had also broken through to rank 40.
Dugu Bo had taken Dugu Yan to hunt for a soul ring the day before, and now, Dugu Yan had already broken through to rank 42. She had become a Soul Ancestor in an instant, and this was a massive improvement.
Lu Yuan's eyes flashed as he looked at the pills that were gradually taking shape in the cauldron. He slowly withdrew the flames, leaving only a few residual flames to nurture the pills.
Under the nourishment of the residual flames, the surface of the pills gradually became smooth and round, and they were shimmering with a peculiar color.
A faint pill aroma gradually wafted into Lu Yuan's nose.
"It's about time!" Lu Yuan murmured to himself as he removed the lid of the cauldron. He gently patted the walls of the cauldron, and the pills within the cauldron immediately flew out.
Lu Yuan gently waved a hand, and all of the pills flew into his hand.
"They're all of high quality! Looks like supreme-grade pills really are difficult to refine!" Lu Yuan murmured to himself as he placed the pills in his hand into a jade bottle.
This was already the fifth cauldron of Spirit Ascension Pills that he had refined, and his success rate had increased significantly. There were also more and more high quality pills, but there was still no sign of supreme-grade pills. This level of supreme-grade pills was truly difficult to reach.
Lu Yuan put away the elixir, but Zhu Zhuqing's figure quietly landed beside him.
"How is it? Did you enjoy the thrill of flying?" Lu Yuan turned to look at Zhu Zhuqing and chuckled.
Three nights ago, Lu Yuan had given the right leg bone of the 100,000-year-old Bluesilver Emperor to Zhu Zhuqing. At the time, Zhu Zhuqing had been very touched, and she had served him well that night.
A hundred thousand year soul bone was naturally extraordinary. After absorbing this soul bone, Zhu Zhuqing's physique had strengthened by quite a bit. According to Lu Yuan's estimation, it shouldn't be a problem for her to take a fifteen thousand year soul ring and below as her fourth ring.
As for the ten-thousand-year soul beast's Spiritual Shock, Lu Yuan could use his Polycoria to get rid of the resentment within. The remaining resentment shouldn't be a problem for Zhu Zhuqing, who had been tempered by the Life Crystal.
Therefore, Zhu Zhuqing had a ninety percent chance of obtaining the fourth ring.
"Flying feels pretty good, but I have a question!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
"What doubts?" Lu Yuan asked.
"Generally speaking, don't hundred-thousand-year soul bones have two skills? But right now, I can only feel the flying skill! "Zhu Zhuqing said.
"And here I thought it was something else. The second skill of the right leg bone of the Bluesilver Emperor is' Wildfire Can't Be Blown Away, Reborn by the Spring Breeze '. It's an extremely powerful recovery skill that can heal the body's injuries. You're not injured right now, so it's normal that you can't feel it. "Lu Yuan smiled.
"Heal my injuries?" Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "So that's how it is!"
"Lu Yuan, you're so good to me!" Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stepped forward and hugged Lu Yuan.
This man was even willing to give her a hundred-thousand-year soul bone. His love for her was evident.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Since you know that I'm good to you, then you have to be more obedient in the future, okay? Don't throw a tantrum so easily. "
"Okay, I know!" Zhu Zhuqing said softly and buried her head in Lu Yuan's embrace.
"I heard that Senior Dugu went out early in the morning to rope in other factions?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Indeed. It seems like those pills and Earth Dragon Golden Melons were given to the right person. Dugu Bo is very enthusiastic about doing things now. He's already secretly contacted a few families, and there's a high chance that he'll rope them in." Lu Yuan smiled.
"Senior Dugu is returning the favor. He's a very sentimental person. You've helped him and Dugu Yan so much. He's using his own actions to repay you," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"That is indeed the case. Although Senior Dugu's personality is somewhat eccentric, he is a very sentimental and righteous person. Otherwise, I would not have chosen to recruit him back then and even made so many promises. It is because I value him that I am willing to do so much."
Lu Yuan said softly.
After all, if Dugu Bo was just a murderous, eccentric, and inhumane person, Lu Yuan wouldn't have said so much to him. He would have already killed him and occupied the Icefire Yin Yang Well.
However, it was precisely because Dugu Bo was sentimental and righteous that Lu Yuan was willing to treat him with respect.
"Yes, after all, you're not a good person!" Looking at Lu Yuan, Zhu Zhuqing sighed and said.
"Did I say that I'm a good person?" Lu Yuan stretched out his right hand and pinched Zhu Zhuqing's face. Was this girl teasing him?
"Ah, it hurts!" Zhu Zhuqing slapped Lu Yuan's hand to the side and punched Lu Yuan's chest twice. Then, she found a comfortable place to lean in Lu Yuan's arms.
"How can there be so many good people in this world? I can only guarantee that I have a bottom line when doing things." Lu Yuan sighed softly and said.
Since he had chosen to unify the continent for the Martial Spirit Palace, it was impossible for his hands not to be stained with blood. A general's success was built on the bones of thousands. This was not a lie.
Although unifying the continent would cause a lot of blood to be spilled temporarily, it would be beneficial for the future. After all, prosperity would only appear in a unified dynasty.
Furthermore, what he was doing now was to reduce the number of sacrifices and bloodshed. As long as Chihiro Snow successfully ascended to the throne, they would be able to take down the Heaven Dou Empire without shedding a drop of blood.
Perhaps this was the only reason why Sendōryu sent Chihiro Snow to hide in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Once they took down the Heaven Dou Empire, it would be much easier to take down the Seonra Empire.
In Lu Yuan's heart, he hoped that the war would be as short as possible. The faster the war, the better. This way, fewer people would die.
When the Martial Soul Empire was established and unified the continent, the people's living standards would be restored in the shortest time possible. With some effective methods to govern the country, the entire continent would quickly prosper.
"Yes, this is a world where the strong prey on the weak!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded lightly. Her dark experiences from a young age made her deeply understand this point.
After hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Lu Yuan gently stroked her soft, jet-black hair. His eyes wandered. Not far away, two figures slowly appeared. Looking at the somewhat familiar figure in front of him, Lu Yuan couldn't help but murmur, "Senior sister!"
