A Wide Expanse
"Ning Yue, don't let your emotions affect your decisions!"
Seeing that Ning Yue and Saber Mountain Venerable had come to an agreement, Pill Guzi hurriedly said.
"Let me see your storage bag."
"Pill Guzi, are you trying to do something?" Saber Mountain Venerable said coldly. "I've already given the ingredients to Ning Yue. If you dare touch them again, even if Ning Yue manages to refine the Recovery Pill before He Shu, He Shu will still win!"
"How domineering!" Pill Guzi's expression was ugly.
If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation base wasn't as high as Saber Mountain Venerable's, he would have long since fought him. How could he allow Saber Mountain Venerable to do as he pleased?
Swish!
With a thought, Dan Guzi turned his gaze to Venerable Spirit Void, hoping that he could uphold justice for Ning Yue.
"Let's begin."
Unexpectedly, Spirit Xu acted as if he hadn't seen Pill Guzi. "Ning Yue, I look favorably upon you. I hope you won't disappoint me."
"Haha, a mere Recovery Pill can't stump me."
Ning Yue waved the storage bag in his hand with a faint smile. "He Shu, I won't take advantage of someone when they're down. Are you ready? If not, I can wait a bit."
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, He Shu took out his cauldron, grabbed a medicinal ingredient, and threw it inside.
"This kind of pill refinement method?"
Ning Yue was a bit puzzled by He Shu's actions.
Before heating up the pill furnace, first throwing the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace, he had only seen this kind of alchemy method in his previous life.
He Shu's Spiritual Strength was only at the mid eighth rank … no, he should have used a pill to raise it to the late eighth rank.
But a late eighth rank Spiritual Strength couldn't support He Shu's unique pill refinement method.
"I'm not doing this!"
Ning Yue quickly reacted.
It wasn't that He Shu's pill refinement method was special, but that there was a problem with his cauldron!
He Shu had definitely heated up the cauldron!
Sizzle!
As expected, just as this thought appeared in Ning Yue's mind, He Shu's pill furnace let out a 'chi chi' sound.
It was obvious that the 'chi chi' sound represented that the medicinal ingredients that He Shu had thrown into the pill furnace had been completely refined.
"What an idiot."
He Shu glanced at Ning Yue and said in disdain, "I'm not as stupid as He Fei who doesn't know how to prepare."
"I've long since heated up the pill furnace to the limit. In other words, the speed at which I can refine the Rising Revival Pill has doubled!"
It turned out that He Shu's method was very effective.
Originally, he would have needed half an hour to successfully refine the Recovery Pill. However, with his prior preparations, he only needed 15 minutes at most.
"You're quite well-prepared."
After being called an idiot by He Shu, Ning Yue was not angry. Instead, he said, "I'm just very confused. Why can even dogs speak human language?"
Puchi!
When Ning Yue's words entered into He Shu's ears, it caused his chest to tighten, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Scolding someone without using vulgarities.
Ning Yue's scolding method had reached the point of perfection.
"You only know how to use your tongue!" He Shu shouted coldly, "Ning Yue, let's make another bet!"
"Bet on what?" Ning Yue was confused.
"Bet your life!"
He Shu's expression turned fierce. "If I refine the Recovery Pill before you, you kill yourself. If you refine the Recovery Pill before me, I kill myself!"
"I can agree to it, but I don't agree with suicide." Ning Yue nodded, then shook his head.
"What do you want?" He Shu asked in a deep voice.
"It's simple. If you win, I'll stand where I am and let you slash me. If I win, you stand where you are and let me slash you." Ning Yue said this as if it was a game. He did not feel any pressure at all.
"Alright, I agree!"
He Shu took out another medicinal ingredient from his bag of holding and threw it into the cauldron. He began to focus on refining the Recovery Pill.
Unlike He Fei, He Shu released his Essence Energy to form an Essence Energy shield around him so that he could refine the Rising Spirit Elixir as soon as possible so that he could see everything.
He didn't look at Ning Yue!
He didn't care about what was happening outside. He focused on refining the Recovery Pill.
While He Shu was refining the Recovery Pill, Ning Yue was gently tapping the cauldron. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Ning Yue, why aren't you refining the Recovery Pill?"
Ning Yue's actions caused Pill Guzi to be a bit puzzled.
"I'm thinking about how to refine the Recovery Pill. After all, I'm missing a medicinal ingredient. If I use normal methods, I definitely won't be able to refine the Recovery Pill," replied Ning Yue.
"You're smart. You know you can't refine the Recovery Pill." Saber Mountain Venerable smirked. "If you know what's good for you, hand over the Shengyang Pills you have. I can get He Shu to stop refining the pill, and the bet between the two of you will be nullified."
"There's no way I'll admit defeat. I'll never admit defeat in my entire life."
Ning Yue shrugged. "Saber Mountain Venerable, if I use these medicinal ingredients to refine a pill with a higher quality than the Recovery Pill, would it be considered my victory?"
"No!"
Saber Mountain Venerable rejected him without any hesitation.
Ning Yue was full of tricks. He couldn't give him any chances!
"Alright, I'm just asking you. I didn't expect you to agree."
Rolling his eyes, Ning Yue tossed the cauldron and the storage bag into the cauldron.
Ning Yue's actions made the mouths of Saber Mountain Venerable and the rest twitch.
It was the same routine, and he was using the same method to refine the pill.
"It was a Grade-7 Spirit Severing Pill earlier, and now it's a Grade-8 Recovery Pill. Let's see how you're going to refine it!" Saber Mountain Venerable said fiercely.
"Regression Pill!"
Ignoring Saber Mountain Venerable's ferocious expression, Ning Yue searched his mind and found a type of pill from the Reincarnation Pill Theory. It was a pill that corresponded to the Recovery Pill.
The Recovery Pill could assist in the absorption of vitality, whereas the Regression Pill was the exact opposite. It could stop a martial artist from absorbing vitality.
On the surface, the Recovery Pill and the Regression Pill seemed similar. Without careful observation, one would not be able to tell the difference.
Most importantly, the Regression Pill was developed by the owner of the Reincarnation Pill Theory, so the medicinal ingredients used were similar.
"I'll start refining the Regression Pill now!"
After recalling the refinement method of the Regression Pill in his mind, Ning Yue placed his palm on the cauldron, allowing traces of vitality to enter the cauldron through the cauldron.
Sizzle, sizzle!
Sizzling sounds were heard when his soul power came into contact with the medicinal ingredients.
At the same time, a faint flame appeared on the fingertip of Ning Yue's left hand, and it kept burning the bottom of the cauldron.
As the temperature of the cauldron increased, the sizzling sounds became more obvious.
The hissing continued for a full five minutes before it stopped.
"Phew!"
Once the first segment was successfully completed, Ning Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead and exhaled deeply.
The first segment was the most important in refining the Regression Pill. If anything went wrong in the first segment, he would lose the entire game.
