On the island at the center of the lake.
The crescent moon pool was formed by gathering the light of the full moon. Silver ripples rippled.
A silver-clothed figure swam in the crescent moon pool like a fish. Her figure was thin and frail, and her figure was too weak to materialize.
Flowers bloomed on the island, and the herbs were lush. Spiritual energy transformed into mist that floated around.
Wisps of silver moonlight were pulled by the crescent moon pool. They stubbornly penetrated the rainbow miasma and shot into the pool.
The stars were like grains of rice that adorned the night sky. The low buzzing of flies rose and fell.
The rainbow miasma, starlight, and moonlight intersected, making the island at the center of the lake look magnificent. It was like a dream, a paradise of immortals.
The silver-clothed figure swimming in the crescent moon pool was like a goddess that resided in the bright moon in the sky. She had unintentionally fallen into the mortal world.
"Silver Moon Queen."
Yu Yuan flashed out of the cauldron. His brows were tightly furrowed as his heart trembled. No matter how blurry the figure in the crescent moon pool was, he could recognize her at a glance.
His lips were dry as he smiled bitterly. "Why is she still here?"
The former empress of the empire had transformed into a shadow and lost her consciousness in the crescent moon pool.
However, as she cultivated the secret arts of the Moonfiend race, she had instinctively circulated her spirit arts and Dharma spells in the crescent moon pool. She absorbed the essence of the bright moon in the sky and gathered it in the pool.
However, there were hundreds of fine rainbow-colored streams of light flying around the edge of the pool, forming a cage.
The rainbow-colored streams of light resonated with the rainbow miasma and had a profound connection with the entire Barren Forgotten Lands.
This meant that the Silvermoon Empress was being held captive.
The strange pool formed by Yushu's spell suppressed Li Yupan, making it difficult for her to break free. She even lost her consciousness.
She could only instinctively gather the moonlight and absorb it into the pool.
"It's not her true body," said Qin Yun softly.
Yu Yuan nodded. "Her true body was captured by Zhou Cangmin. She should have been handed over to the Devil's Palace and the Goblin Temple to be dealt with. Her Yin Soul was formed from Wei Feng's blood in the Darkness Domain Asura's eye. It was later destroyed. Because of this, the Yin Spirit was severely injured and confined to the Eye of Asura. "
"Later, Yutu refined the Dark Realm Asura's eye and made it her third eye.
"Her Majesty the Empress of our empire, that Yin Spirit, is also in the world of Asura's eye. She can no longer escape. I thought that Yutu would either destroy her nether deity, or capture her and hand her over to Zhou Cangmin. "
"Who would have thought …"
The scene before his eyes showed that Yu Zhu had her own thoughts.
She had used some other method to imprison the Silver Moon Queen's Yin Divinity in the moon pond. Then, she used it to gather the light of the moon into the water.
The moonlight essence had many miraculous uses. Yutu should be able to use it.
"I wonder if the Devil's Palace and the Goblin Temple are aware of Miss Yu Zhu's actions." Qin Yun was somewhat worried. "The Silver Moon Queen's actions are unforgivable. If we leave a Yin Spirit here, even if she can't wake up, there will still be future troubles. I'm afraid that someone will rescue her."
Yu Yuan said, "She should be confident."
At this moment, the Cauldron Soul sent an excited message.
The pitch-black cauldron floated towards the crescent moon pond.
In the pond, the Empress's shadow, which was swimming like a fish, suddenly dove towards the bottom of the pond. Filled with fear and unease, she instinctively wanted to escape.
"Come back!" Yu Yuan shouted softly as he raised his hand and made a grabbing motion.
The Fiendish Demon Cauldron, which was about to reach the crescent moon pond, reluctantly and obediently floated back to Qin Yun's chest because of his shout.
"Young Master, it …?" Qin Yun was surprised.
"Her Majesty, our Empress, has become its prey." Yu Yuan explained, "Her Majesty cultivates the Moon Fiend Mystic Art. An ancient Moon Fiend named Consort Yue was devoured by the Dark Domain Asura's Yin Spirit in the Dark Domain Asura's eye. The cauldron sensed that she was extremely suitable for refining the Fiendish Demon and wanted to use her to increase its strength. "
With a light sigh, Yu Yuan continued, "The cauldron was severely damaged. All the Fiendish Demons it refined and gathered in its early years died in that battle. It was a Divine Grade artifact, but its grade had dropped drastically. Now, its strength has barely reached the Heaven Grade. The Cauldron Soul is eager to find more Fiendish Demons and desires more sources of power. "
At its peak, the Fiendish Demon Cauldron's grade should have been at the fifth grade of the Divine Grade.
Now, it was barely at the first grade of the Heaven Grade.
Yu Yuan could understand the Cauldron Soul's eagerness to increase its grade and restore its own and the cauldron's strength.
However, the Empress, who was imprisoned in the crescent moon pond, was suppressed by Yushu. Perhaps there were other uses for her.
"That Empress has lost her intelligence, but she's still so fearful." Qin Yun clicked his tongue in wonder.
"Right now, the Fiendish Demon Cauldron is her nemesis. How can she not be afraid?" Yu Yuan took a few more glances before retracting his gaze and saying with a smile, "I knew it. There are ready-made herbs on the island. It shouldn't be difficult to heal your injuries."
Qin Yun was overjoyed.
Yu Yuan summoned the three-legged cauldron named Flowing Flame from his mustard seed bracelet and placed it on the island.
Whoosh!
The moment the cauldron fell, the rich spiritual energy that was everywhere surged in from all directions.
The Flowing Flame cauldron in the shape of a yellow gourd, with the Vermilion Bird, Flame Dragon, Qilin, Phoenix, and other ancient beasts engraved on it, instantly came alive, as if they were actively devouring the vast spiritual energy.
Qin Yun trembled. "Refining pills?"
Yu Yuan smiled. "I won't hide it from you. The reason why my heavenly soul and earth soul didn't awaken when I was young was because I was trying to comprehend the Great Dao of Alchemy. This is my biggest secret. I hope you can keep it for me."
Qin Yun nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. "Don't worry, young master!"
"Elder Ning should have told you something." As Yu Yuan spoke, he took out Flame Crystals from his mustard seed bracelet and placed them under the cauldron with exquisite control of his spiritual power.
FIZZ!
A drop of Solar Essence Flame flew out of the Yellow Court Microcosm and shot towards the Flame Crystals.
BOOM!
All of a sudden, the Flame Crystals were ignited, releasing surging flames.
As the flames burned fiercely, the fiery beasts that were engraved on the walls of the furnace seemed to be roaring as they inhaled and exhaled the spiritual Qi of the outside world and channeled it into the furnace through dense lines of fire.
The reason why the cauldron was named Flowing Flame was because in his previous life, he hadn't been able to refine pills with his own flames.
He could only rely on earthflame, various types of flame crystals, or scattered flames that fell from the heavens.
Therefore, the cauldron was named Flowing Flame.
Flowing Flame didn't have a spirit or any offensive power. All of the flame arrays engraved on it were only for refining pills. Therefore, the cauldron's grade could only be determined to be infinitely close to the Heaven grade.
Although it was infinitely close to the Heaven grade, it couldn't be determined because it didn't have a spirit.
Since he hadn't embarked on the path of cultivation, he couldn't condense his soul awareness or communicate with the spirit. If Flowing Flame really did form a spirit, it would only have the opposite effect, and restrict him.
It was even possible that his mind would be corrupted by the cauldron's spirit one day.
One after another, he flew into the Flameflow Cauldron, along with liquids that contained the essence of wood power, which he had purchased from the Dark Palace and Heaven Span Island.
The insides of the crimson cauldron were as red as rainbows, and the liquids were as viscous as blood, emitting a refreshing medicinal fragrance.
Yu Yuan was in high spirits as he circled around the three-legged cauldron. His body flashed, and dazzling light flashed through his eyes from time to time.
At this moment, in Qin Yun's eyes, Yu Yuan had a graceful bearing and charm that he had never seen before.
The way he casually tossed the medicinal plants into the cauldron seemed to conform to the Great Dao of pills. As Qin Yun watched the medicinal plants enter the cauldron, he seemed to sense the joy of the medicinal plants themselves.
High-grade medicinal plants contained a bit of spirituality, and would instinctively resist being used in pill refinement.
Being refined meant dissipation and death.
Some strange medicinal plants, if they could withstand the test of hundreds or thousands of years, would gain spirituality and have a chance of forming a unique life form.
All things had spirituality, and medicinal plants were no exception. They didn't want to die early.
However, when Yu Yuan was refining pills and controlling the medicinal plants to merge into the cauldron, Qin Yun could vaguely sense that the medicinal plants were happily accepting them. They didn't reject them.
"I heard that only alchemists whose attainments are close to the Dao can have such magical power!"
Qin Yun's heart trembled as he looked at Yu Yuan with an expression full of shock and disbelief.
He had heard people say that when the top alchemists refined pills, their techniques would conform to the Great Dao! They would make the medicinal plants feel a sense of participation, making the medicinal plants' spirituality feel as if they were accompanying the alchemist on a grand feat, turning them into a rare Divine Pill!
Divine Pills had spirituality, and some could even greatly increase one's intelligence.
If they could be turned into a Divine Pill, or even just become a part of a Divine Pill, many medicinal plants wouldn't have lived their lives in vain. It would be considered a resplendent moment.
At this moment, Yu Yuan was refining pills. As the medicinal plants entered the cauldron, he seemed to be filled with joy and anticipation.
Back when Qin Yun was a guest at the Heavenly Medicine Sect in the Bifeng Mountain Range, he had heard people talk about this mysterious feeling.
In the past, he felt that the Heavenly Medicine Sect's alchemists were deliberately mystifying things, saying things that didn't exist and pretending to be profound.
But now, as he watched Yu Yuan refine pills from the side, he secretly comprehended and suddenly understood that the Heavenly Medicine Sect's alchemists weren't spouting nonsense.
In this world, there were indeed alchemists who, when refining medicine, had techniques that were like hanging antelopes' horns, completely natural, and their skills were close to the Great Dao!
"How can this be?"
Qin Yun found it hard to imagine that the young master could refine pills in such a way.
"My soul injury might really be healed!"
In the next moment, he suddenly became excited and filled with boundless expectations.
When Yu Yuan summoned the Baleful Demon Cauldron and brought him to the island at the center of the lake and said that he would treat his injuries, Qin Yun was moved, but he didn't completely believe it.
His injuries were caused by the Frigid Yin Sect's Wei Xian's soul power that severely injured his Yin Spirit.
It was difficult for his Yin Spirit to even leave his body, and there were many small pieces of ice inside his Yin Spirit, causing him to suffer day and night.
Yu Yuan's cultivation was too low, and the Baleful Demon Cauldron wasn't a fire-attribute treasure, so he couldn't treat the problem.
Miss Yu Zhu wasn't in the ancestral grounds either …
No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't imagine that Yu Yuan would suddenly summon a huge three-legged cauldron and talk to him while refining pills.
An hour later, Qin Yun was in a daze.
While Qin Yun was in a daze, Yu Yuan let out a soft whistle and said with a smile, "The pill is done!"
A multicolored light suddenly flew out of the cauldron like lightning.
A pill that was as brilliant as a flame instantly flew out from within the lingering multicolored light and headed straight for him.
"Swallow it and melt it into your soul!" Yu Yuan shouted.
