Half a month later.
In the courtyard, the temperature in the room was extremely low. This was because Lu An had used Deep Ice to create an ice palace and wrapped himself in it. There was also an ice table, an ice chair, and the refining materials inside.
Lu An was carefully refining the materials. According to the contents of the pill manual, he had successfully refined all the materials he had except for the materials he was refining. In this half a month, he had been cultivating and refining pills. If it was an ordinary pill, he would not have taken so much time. However, he was still very interested in refining a Grade 7 pill.
If he did not use the ice palace to wrap himself up, the flames that had been rising for a long time would have already lit the room up. Finally, after a long time, Lu An suddenly retracted the flames and held the refining materials in his hand. At the same time, he finally let out a long breath.
The feeling of holding his breath was very uncomfortable.
Now, all the materials that needed to be purified were basically refined except for the two materials that he did not have. Beauty Yang had not sent the two materials over. Lu An knew that she must be trying her best to find them, so he had no reason to rush her. Moreover, purification was only one of the steps of refining pills. Although he could purify, it did not mean that he could continue.
Refining pills could be said to be one wrong step, and every step would be wrong. Among the hundreds of steps, as long as one step was not completed, it would be impossible to refine pills. Lu An picked up the pill recipe and demonstrated the contents of the next step in his heart. At this moment, a sudden breeze appeared in his room, causing Lu An to raise his head.
He saw a beautiful figure standing in front of him. It was Beauty Yang.
"This servant greets Master." Beauty Yang said and knelt down. Lu An was already used to this scene. Perhaps he was only used to Beauty Yang kneeling to him. If someone else kneeled to him, he would not be able to accept it.
"Get up." Lu An put away the cold ice palace and sat on the chair. He looked at Beauty Yang and asked, "How is it? Did you get the Black Water Diamond Pill?"
Under Lu An's expectant gaze, Beauty Yang shook her head and said, "No."
Lu An was stunned and asked in confusion, "Is there no one in the Medicine God Nation who can refine it?"
"Yes." Beauty Yang said, "But only a few people can do it, but they are all alchemy fanatics. If they want to buy the Black Water Diamond Dan, they have to exchange it with other precious materials and pills. I don't have any."
Lu An frowned when he heard this. He did not expect this to be the reason. Indeed, for such a pharmacist, money was meaningless. With such alchemy skills, he could get as much money as he wanted.
Seeing Lu An in deep thought, Yang Meiren thought for a moment and asked, "Master, how's the refining going?"
Lu An was startled when he heard this. He put the purified materials in the ring on the table and said, "I have purified all the materials you gave me. The success rate is not high, but at least there is one of each."
Beauty Yang's body trembled. Looking at the numerous materials placed on the table, she couldn't help but reveal a wisp of astonishment. Perhaps others did not know the difficulty of refining these materials, but as a Level 7 Heavenly Master, she was very clear about it. Even an ordinary Level 7 Heavenly Master would find it very difficult to refine these materials. However, Lu An was only a Level 4 Heavenly Master, yet he could refine them!
She originally did not have any hope for Lu An, but because he was her master, she would do whatever he wanted, even if Lu An's alchemy skills were not low. However, when she saw these materials, she completely changed her mind.
"These … were all purified by your flame?" Beauty Yang looked at Lu An and asked after taking a deep breath.
"Yes." Lu An nodded and said, "Purifying these materials was much easier than I thought. I also did not expect to be able to refine them successfully."
Beauty Yang glanced at Lu An. The shock in her heart was unimaginable to Lu An. Although she already knew that Lu An's flame was very powerful, even more powerful than the strongest flame in the world, she was certain when Lu An used his flame to burn the divine tree in the Medicine God Nation. This time, she felt that Lu An's flame was very powerful.
Lu An had two Fate Wheels. Beauty Yang knew this from the very beginning. Beauty Yang was very clear about where his Deep Ice came from. Now, it seemed that this flame could coexist with the Deep Ice. Perhaps there was a deeper meaning to it.
"By the way, did you buy the other two materials?" Lu An suddenly asked.
Beauty Yang's body trembled slightly. She came back to her senses and said, "I just came back from the Medicine God Nation and did not return to Purple Lake City. However, it should be about the same. Although these two materials are precious, they are not impossible to buy. "
Lu An nodded and said, "If you have them, send them over. I want to see if I can continue refining them."
"Okay." Beauty Yang nodded. She spoke with Lu An for a while before leaving.
Lu An continued to look at the alchemy manual. About an hour later, there was a knock on his door. Lu An was slightly startled. He put away the alchemy manual and said loudly, "Come in!"
The door was pushed open. A soldier walked in respectfully and said, "Deputy Battalion Commander, the Grand General invites you in."
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "I understand."
In Guang Yu City, other than the few people in the meeting hall that day, no one knew his identity, and those people did not dare to speak of it under his orders. After all, the former Great General was still in prison, and no one dared to be presumptuous.
Lu An did not delay and went straight to the meeting hall. He found that almost everyone was there. Liu Huairen and Nie Han saw Lu An and quickly stood up to welcome him. Lu An indicated that the two did not need to go through the trouble and waved his hand for everyone to sit down.
Lu An looked at Liu Huairen and asked, "May I know why you've summoned me here?"
"That's right." Liu Huairen nodded and said with a serious expression, "The orders came from above. After finding out that the three Tier 5 Heavenly Masters were all killed, they sent us to attack and make a breakthrough from the side. This way, the enemy will have no choice but to transfer people from other garrisons over. This will reduce the pressure on other places. "
Lu An nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, it's not difficult for us to break through the enemy. However, won't this break the balance?"
Liu Huairen looked at Lu An and a trace of admiration flashed across his eyes. He nodded and said, "Yes. We have always been on the defensive side. The border of Shang Qi State has never taken the initiative to counterattack. The enemy has always been in a stalemate with us. Although there have been battles, there have been no major breakthroughs. This is because the City Lord of Purple Lake City is deliberately restraining himself. I'm afraid that taking the initiative to attack this time will backfire. The enemy will no longer be in a stalemate and take the initiative to attack. "
Hearing this, Lu An frowned and nodded. He thought so too. This kind of balance was necessary for the alliance. They needed time to breathe, and he needed time to concoct pills.
"However, I've reported it to the higher-ups. Their orders are still to attack." Liu Huairen frowned and said, "They believe that the enemy will not lose their patience in places like ours."
"…"
Lu An's frown deepened. This was undoubtedly a gamble. Although the chances of losing were small, it did not mean that it did not exist.
"Who gave this order?" Lu An asked.
"It's the higher-ups of Shang Qi State." Liu Huairen immediately replied.
Lu An's face sank. Indeed, it was not an order from Purple Lake City. However, the frontline command still depended on the respective countries. Purple Lake City could not take care of so many places.
Lu An indeed had the authority to stop this attack. However, he hesitated. He did not know much about military affairs. Although Liu Huairen knew a lot about military affairs, he might not be able to see the situation better than the higher-ups. Lu An did not want his ignorance to affect the war. He looked at Liu Huairen and asked, "What does the general think we should do?"
Liu Huairen frowned and thought for a moment. He took a deep breath and said, "If you are not here, military orders are like mountains. I will obey them."
Lu An nodded and said, "Then listen to the higher-ups and organize an attack on the enemy."
"Good!" Liu Huairen nodded. He thought for a moment and looked at Lu An and asked, "City Lord Lu … Can you fight?"
As soon as he said this, everyone in the room looked at Lu An. Lu An's strength was obvious to everyone. If Lu An was here, they could completely relax and attack.
Lu An was stunned. He looked at everyone and said with a smile, "As the Deputy Commander of the Sage Battalion, of course I will fight."
