PS: Update complete.
In the end, both of them took more than ten fruits each. Chu Li brought them back to the Public House but they did not return to Tianshu Courtyard. They stayed on the Jade Guardian Island.
The Jade Guardian Island had always been taken care of in preparation for Xiao Qi's return. Every few days, they would have to dry the bedding so they would have a place to stay.
After they returned, the Jade Guardian Island was suddenly bustling. Siao Tieying and his wife and Siao Baihe also heard the news and rushed over to chat with them. They would not be sleeping tonight so the Jade Guardian Island became very lively.
Chu Li did not join in the fun and directly returned to his own island. Xue came to welcome him.
The moonlight was like water. She was dressed in white and her hair was loose like black satin. Her body was emitting traces of cold air. Her Crescent Cryptic had been cultivated to a very high level.
"Master." She came to welcome him with a smile on her cold face.
Chu Li said, "Have you found the alchemy furnace?"
"I have found it and the alchemy room is also built." Xue said.
Chu Li nodded. "Let's go take a look."
He said as he passed five fruits to Xue. As he walked, he asked, "Is there anything big in the Public House recently?"
Xue said, "Master Xiao Tieying and Madam had a fight. Madam ran back to her parents' house and Master Xiao Tieying personally went to welcome her back. He has only been back for two days."
Chu Li said, "Looks like it's hard to enforce the law. Why did they fight?"
"Master Xiao Tieying killed one of Madam's flowers while he was practicing his fist technique." Xue shook her head. "That was Madam's favorite flower."
"Master Xiao Tieying did it on purpose, right?"
"Yes." Xue nodded lightly. "Madam put too much effort into this flower. A while ago, the flower was sick and not energetic. She was very nervous. Fortunately, it was saved. She did not expect Master Xiao to kill it again. How could Madam not be angry?"
Chu Li shook his head and laughed.
Xue smiled. "Master Xiao Tieying is mature and steady. He becomes a different person in front of Madam. Both of them are like children who quarrel easily."
"That's good. Sweet love." Chu Li smiled. "Is there anything else?"
"The martial arts sects are very quiet." Xue said.
Chu Li nodded.
The two of them came to a room. It was an alchemy room that Xue Ling had personally built.
The four windows were wide open, and in the middle of the room was a small alchemy furnace. Beside the furnace were firewood and black stones. The black stones were the best charcoal. Only this kind of charcoal could produce high temperatures. Relying on firewood alone would not be able to reach the required temperature to refine the alchemy pills.
He looked at the alchemy furnace and felt satisfied. It was obviously not an ordinary item. The High Duke's Public House's wealth was enough to get a good alchemy furnace.
He immediately began to concoct the pill. He poured some water into the fire and threw in the Wind Speed Grass. Then, he added a few more sets of spirit herbs and lit a few pieces of charcoal.
Chu Li sat beside the alchemy furnace as if he could not feel the high temperature.
Xue waited on the side, serving tea and snacks.
She did not mind the high temperature at all. Her Crescent Cryptic allowed her to keep her body cool. No matter how high the temperature of the outside world was, it could not be changed.
In one night, he refined two cauldrons of pills, one cauldron of Wind Speed Pill and one cauldron of Giant Spirit Pill.
There were twelve plants in each batch, and each batch gave two to Xue Ling.
"Consume it immediately when you get back," Chu Li said. "It's good stuff."
"Master, what are these for?" Xue Ling looked at the four pills in her hand in confusion. They were the size of grapes and Chu Li had just rubbed them.
"This is the Wind Speed Pill. It increases your speed. This is the Giant Spirit Pill. It increases your strength." Chu Li pointed at each of them. "Two pills is the limit. It's useless to eat more. Let's see how much your speed and strength can increase."
"There's such a spirit pill?" Xue Ling was surprised.
The pills of the Yi Public House were already the best. The Spirit Blessing Pill was one of the rare pills in the Great Ji Dynasty. However, the Public House did not have a spirit pill like the Wind Speed Pill or the Giant Spirit Pill.
It could directly change one's physique. Those spirit pills were legendary in ancient times. They no longer existed in this world. She did not expect Master to be able to refine them.
Chu Li said, "Don't make a fuss. Eat it quickly."
"Yes." Xue Ling nodded.
She knew how precious these spirit pills were. If others heard about it, there would be a bloodbath and the Yi Public House would not have peace.
Chu Li waved his hand. "You've been busy the whole night. Go back and take the pill. I'll be leaving."
"Master, don't you want to rest?" Xue Ling was reluctant.
Chu Li shook his head. "I'm busy over there."
When he arrived at the Jade Guardian Island, the sky had not brightened yet. The two ladies were sleeping soundly.
He woke them up and brought them back to Tianshu Courtyard. He gave them four spirit pills each, just like Xue Ling. Then, he returned to the Spirit Medicine Nursery.
The Spirit Medicine Nursery was quiet and still. The people were still dreaming. Chu Li consumed a Wind Speed Pill and experienced the effects of the pill. After a while, the effects of the pill began to spread and was completely absorbed by his body after being activated by his inner energy.
He could feel his body becoming lighter. In a flash, he appeared outside the house. A shadow was faintly discernible and his speed was extremely fast.
He couldn't help but smile. The efficacy of this Wind Speed Pill was twice as strong as the one he had obtained, and the speed increase wasn't inferior to the one he had obtained last time. If he took another one, his speed would still increase, so he took two more.
After absorbing the medicinal effect this time, his speed increased again. He knew that it was useless to take another pill.
However, his speed was already beyond imagination.
Not only was his body movement technique faster, but his attack speed was also faster. His strength had greatly increased.
He took another three Giant Spirit Pills in one go and his strength increased. This time, he was truly born with divine strength that no one could compare to.
The increase in strength would also increase the speed of his attacks. His attacks would be faster, and his strength would increase by another level.
Chu Li was full of confidence. Now, he could go down the mountain and compete with the heroes of the world. Even if his cultivation level was lower than theirs, he could make up for it with his speed and strength. It would not take too much effort to become a patrol. As long as there was a chance!

In the early morning, the ice peak at the top of Great Light Peak shone brightly.
Li Ruolan was dressed in a white tunic. She gracefully came to the Divine Light Basilica and gave a fist salute. "Saint."
"Ruolan, you have an errand again." Sun Mingyue said, "Have you recovered?"
Li Ruolan nodded. "I'm not injured. I'll do as you say, Saint."
Sun Mingyue said, "Send a batch of pills to Falling Autumn City."
"Falling Autumn City?" Li Ruolan thought for a while. "Is it a border town?"
"Yes." Sun Mingyue said, "It's the border between the Li Dynasty and the Qiu Dynasty. If the Qiu Dynasty's army wants to invade us, they have to attack Falling Autumn City. Falling Autumn City used to be a city of the Qiu Dynasty, but it was conquered by us later on. All these years, they haven't given up and want to take over the city. Once Falling Autumn City falls into their hands, the southern gate will open and they will be able to march straight in."
"The battle in the city must be very intense," Li Ruolan said.
Sun Mingyue shook her head. "The armies haven't clashed yet. Only the martial arts masters are fighting in secret. The martial arts masters of the Qiu Dynasty are trying to sneak in and assassinate us. Meanwhile, the martial arts masters of the Li Dynasty are trying to eliminate them. It's very dangerous, so you should go with Ji Xin."
"Senior Brother Ji …" Li Ruolan frowned.
Sun Mingyue said, "Why? You don't want to go with Ji Xin?"
"Senior Brother Ji is still injured." Li Ruolan said, "He needs to rest for a while, right?"
Sun Mingyue's eyes flickered and she smiled. "Do you feel sorry for him?"
Li Ruolan quickly shook her head.
"He asked to go." Sun Mingyue smiled. "I've agreed, so you should go with him."
"But I'm worried …" Li Ruolan frowned.
