After obtaining the Black Water Vajra Pill, Liu Yi and Liu Lan did not stay for long. Instead, they rushed out of the Black Emperor City. In the north of the city, Liu Lan set up a teleportation array that could send the two of them back to Purple Lake City.
Liu Lan flew quickly in the air with Liu Yi. Liu Lan's eyes turned cold as she said, "Someone is following us."
Liu Yi's heart skipped a beat. She immediately asked, "Is it also a Level 6 Heavenly Master?"
"Yes," Liu Lan nodded and said with a serious expression, "It has been following us since we left the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce."
Liu Yi frowned. Without asking, she knew that it was the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce's doing. They had not interacted with anyone else, and no one would follow them.
Liu Yi frowned. The person following them was most likely sent by the Third Young Master. After all, a mere Black Water Vajra Pill was not worth the Shaoling Chamber of Commerce's effort to snatch it back. Thinking of this, Liu Yi asked, "Can you shake them off?"
"I'll try," Liu Lan said seriously. After saying this, Liu Lan, who was flying, suddenly increased her speed. She flew past the Black Emperor City and flew out of the city.
The Level 6 Heavenly Master following them was stunned, but he immediately increased his speed and followed them. One in front and one behind, the two of them chased after each other for a full mile. The person following them did not seem to want to close the distance. After leaving the city, Liu Lan quickly went to the teleportation array and waved her hand to activate it.
The person following them was stunned. He did not expect them to leave through the teleportation array. He quickly increased his speed to the maximum and rushed towards the two of them.
However, he was still too slow. How could he catch up with them when they were a full mile away? Liu Lan and Liu Yi walked into the Teleportation Formation. Then, the Teleportation Formation closed.
Bang!
The Level 6 Heavenly Master who was following them fell to the ground with a loud bang. Looking at the teleportation array that had disappeared, the Level 6 Heavenly Master's face darkened. However, there was nothing he could do. It seemed that he could only go back and report this result.

Purple Lake City.
In the City Lord's Mansion, a golden light shone, and the teleportation portal opened. Liu Yi and Liu Lan jumped out and landed steadily on the ground.
"Phew … That was close." Flying at such a high speed caused Liu Lan to gasp for breath, and she said with some fear, "That person's strength was above mine. Luckily, we were far enough away, or else it would have been very difficult for us to escape."
"He won't be able to catch up, right?" Liu Yi first breathed a sigh of relief and then asked.
"They won't be able to catch up." Liu Lan shook her head and said, "He didn't enter our Teleportation Array, so it's impossible for him to sense the Teleportation Array that I set up unless he's a Level 7 Heavenly Master. However, even a Level Seven Heavenly Master would not be able to open my array, much less know where we lead to. "
Hearing Liu Lan's words, Liu Yi relaxed and said, "Let's go find Big Sister Yang!"
"Alright!" Liu Lan nodded.
Beauty Yang was in the City Lord's Mansion. Soon, the two of them found her location. When Beauty Yang found out that the two of them had successfully bought the Black Water Vajra Pill, she couldn't help but be stunned. A rare smile appeared on her icy face.
"How did you buy it? How much did you spend? "Beauty Yang asked.
Liu Yi roughly explained what had happened. After listening, Beauty Yang was slightly stunned. Finally, she asked, "In other words, you didn't spend anything and you got the Black Water Vajra Pill back?"
Liu Yi smiled and said, "Of course. There's no business that I, Liu Yi, can't negotiate!"
Looking at Liu Yi's proud look, Beauty Yang smiled again. No wonder Lu An's feelings for Liu Yi were so different from all the other women that he had brought. Although this woman wasn't a Heavenly Master, she was really powerful.
"This way, we have the capital to negotiate." Beauty Yang looked at the pill and said, "Now, we just need to wait for the day of the conference. If Lu An can really refine another pill, our negotiation will definitely be beneficial."
Liu Yi and Liu Lan both nodded happily. Now, they just needed to wait for the results of Lu An's pill refinement.

Inside the room, refining the pill was more troublesome than Lu An had imagined.
Lu An was already mentally prepared for the pill refinement. After all, it was a seventh-grade pill. It was normal that he couldn't refine it. However, the difficulty of refining it was still beyond his imagination. The most difficult part was the control of the flame. As the saying goes, success depends on the flame, and failure depends on the flame. The Ninth Heaven Sacred Flame was extremely powerful, and the refining process was very troublesome.
The last two materials didn't need to be purified. They were put in at the last step of the refining process. However, just the refining of the first dozens of materials was enough to give him a headache. After a full day, he actually didn't succeed in adding the third material.
Although his flame was powerful enough, his control of the flame wasn't enough. This wasn't because his control of the flame was bad, but because his realm wasn't enough. In fact, Lu An's control of the flame was far beyond a fire-attribute Heavenly Master of the same realm. However, compared to a seventh-grade Heavenly Master, there was still a big gap.
After trying for a full day, Lu An had no choice but to give up. He knew that if he wanted to successfully refine the pill, he had to resort to trickery.
Since he couldn't control it according to his imagination, he used the Deep Ice to create a model that he wanted. He filled it with the flame to achieve the control effect that he wanted. However, this kind of thing was easy to say, but it was extremely difficult to do. He tried to create the model again and again. Within four days, Lu An couldn't count how many times he had failed.
Lu An felt that he had changed at least a thousand models, burning the liquid to the temperature that he wanted. During this process, he didn't waste any materials. Instead, he kept experimenting with the materials that he had failed the first time. After all, although the refining process failed, the concentration of the liquid was still the same.
When refining a seventh-grade pill, the temperature wasn't constant. Instead, it changed with the addition of the materials and the passage of time. Lu An adapted bit by bit and created the model for each stage. From the beginning, he succeeded with the third material, to the tenth material, to the thirtieth material. Lu An was very careful. He didn't dare waste the slightest bit.
During the days of refining pills, no one disturbed him. In an extremely quiet environment, Lu An wholeheartedly devoted himself to refining without any distracting thoughts. During this period, Beauty Yang came to his house many times. However, she only glanced at Lu An's figure through the window before leaving. Everyone was busy with their own matters. The war was still ongoing.
On the twentieth day after returning to Purple Lake City, which was also the second last day of the Revered Heaven Gate's conference, Beauty Yang, Yang Mu, Liu Yi and Liu Lan gathered together again. They guarded outside Lu An's door.
No matter what, they had to leave tomorrow morning. Otherwise, they wouldn't have enough time to reach the Revered Heaven Gate. If they missed this grand event, they would miss the best opportunity to negotiate.
The four of them guarded outside Lu An's door. After discussing, they decided to only give Lu An until sunset tonight. If Lu An wasn't done by then, they could only disturb him and stop refining pills.
"Lu An is only a Level 5 Heavenly Master. It's still too difficult for him to refine Tier 7 pills." Liu Yi slightly frowned and said in a deep voice, "Although it's difficult for a Black Water Diamond Pill to change the direction of the Revered Heaven Gate, it's not impossible. This time, I will also go to the Revered Heaven Gate. There's no difference between negotiating and doing business. I can help. "
When the other three heard Liu Yi's words, they nodded slightly. Indeed, they couldn't compare to Liu Yi's business acumen. They also believed in Liu Yi.
"It's already noon. Why don't Sister Yi and Little Mu go eat first. Sister Yang and I will guard here." Liu Lan said.
Beauty Yang and Liu Lan were both Level 6 Heavenly Masters. They didn't need to eat to replenish their energy. However, Liu Yi and Yang Mu looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I want to wait for him to come out." Yang Mu said softly.
The three of them didn't say anything. The four women stood at the door and waited for Lu An to appear. However, the four of them waited here for an entire morning without any movement. They were afraid that they would have to wait until night to call Lu An out.
However, just as this thought appeared in the minds of the four of them, a huge wave of heat suddenly swept out from within the house!
This wave of heat instantly hit the wall, and also gushed out through the gap between the door. In just a short moment, the steel door turned red, and the terrifying heat rushed towards the four of them!
"Be careful!" Liu Yi subconsciously said. She quickly wanted to protect Liu Yi and Yang Mu. Before she did, Beauty Yang had already made her move. Immediately, a transparent Fate Wheel barrier appeared around the four of them, blocking all the heat outside.
However, the sudden change made the four women's hearts tremble. Could it be …
Bang.
The door was suddenly opened and a wave of heat rushed out. The wave of heat quickly disappeared. Only Lu An was left standing at the door with sweat all over his face.
Beauty Yang immediately removed the barrier and walked to Lu An and asked, "How was it? Did you succeed? "
Although Lu An's face was sweaty and pale, he revealed a big smile. He opened his hand and a black elixir with ice and fire patterns appeared in his hand.
"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you." Lu An couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. However, he held his stomach and said, "But from what you said, I'm really hungry."
