Chapter 100: Li Rou Visits (Exploding with Requests for Subscription and Monthly Tickets)

  In a certain separate room within the Alchemy Pavilion, a young man in white stood beside a large red tripod, controlling the flames spouting from the stone pedestal below it. The arrangement of the room was surprisingly similar to that of an alchemy laboratory.

  This person was indeed Ye Fei, who was cultivating and refining his equipment here, but it seemed like he was also refining some sort of formation.

  Inside the three-foot-wide crucible, several materials could be seen slowly melting together. Ye Fei occasionally threw some materials into the crucible, which seemed to be a kind of metallic ore.

  When all the materials in the tripod melted into a grayish-brown color, Ye Fei flipped his hand and nine small green flags appeared in his hand, seemingly ordinary objects.

  The next moment, he raised one hand, and with a whooshing sound, the nine small flags flashed green and fell into the cauldron, sinking into that grayish-brown mist.

  Gurgling!

  One by one, bubbles rolled out and flew towards the bottom of the pot. With a loud crash, the flames below suddenly blazed up, becoming even more scorching than before.

  Bubbles emerged one after another inside the cauldron, and finally it was like boiling water. After a long time, almost nothing was left in the cauldron, Ye Fei raised his hand and beckoned.

  With a whoosh, nine small flags shot out of the cauldron and after a spin, suddenly appeared in front of Ye Fei, only to find that their colors had transformed into an overall jet black.

  Looking at the small flag floating in front of him, Ye Fei not only didn't relax but instead furrowed his brow, with a somewhat solemn expression.

  The small flags on it seemed to have solidified, but with Ye Fei's few strokes of the law, several small flags suddenly appeared on the surface, and a word was lined up.

  He then stretched out a finger. With a flicker of his mind, a tiny beam of light about the length of a foot appeared at the tip of his finger, as if it were a tangible object, drawing something on several small flags.

  It wasn't clear how much time had passed, but Ye Fei suddenly stopped moving, and the nine small flags each displayed different patterns, looking somewhat eerie. Yet they seemed to contain some sort of rule, complementing each other in a way.

  After doing all this, Ye Fei's hands moved non-stop. A series of spells were cast out and entered each small flag separately. With a humming sound, the nine small flags trembled slightly in mid-air, bursting forth with dazzling black lights.

  Finally. Ye Fei raised his hand and pointed, and a faint layer of yuan force light suddenly appeared on the outside of the small flag. As Ye Fei cast his spell, the yuan force light gradually shrank, but just as it was about to disappear into the small flag, it seemed to slow down somewhat, as if it was having some difficulty.

  At the sight, Ye Fei's breath suddenly surged. With a flicker of his mind, the nine small flags violently shook. With a "poof" sound, all the Yuan force shields were sucked into the small flags.

  At this time, each black flag was flashing with a dark light, and it was clear that they were not ordinary objects. After putting away all the small flags, a hint of a smile appeared on Ye Fei's somewhat tired face.

  "It took half a year, but fortunately it's been repaired. After resting for a few days, I should return and settle some scores!" Having said that, Ye Fei narrowed his eyes and turned to leave the room.

  This alchemy is different from the formation method, but the formation method must have the foundation of alchemy to refine various array materials. However, either of these will almost never fail like refining Dan, at most, the treasure has some flaws and reduced power.

  Equipment refinement requires mastery of techniques, understanding of various materials, knowing how to use them in combination, and being able to enhance the power and attributes of treasures.

  While the formation method is one, more often it requires experience and insight, because any formation master not only has to have excellent formations of their own, but also needs to understand the principles of formations, so as to easily break through other people's formation seals.

  Understanding this, Ye Fei didn't delve too deeply into it this time. After all, his current understanding was far from sufficient. As long as he grasped some basic knowledge and simple equipment refining techniques, he believed that in the future, there would be more opportunities to learn.

  Returned to his residence, greeted Wan Feng, and began to rest and adjust his breath. It wasn't until five days later that Ye Fei felt he had recovered normally, and only then did he get up and leave Tian Qin Peak.

  ……

  "How come you've been running around outside lately, not staying properly at Wanjia Peak? Won't you go out and find a man?" Lei Rou covered her mouth and laughed in the grand hall of Wanjia Peak.

  Upon hearing this, Qinglian's face turned red and she said in a soft voice: "What are you talking about? I'm going to find some other sisters to discuss something, don't make wild guesses."

  "Oh? Is that so? Don't think you can escape me, humph. Otherwise, neither you nor your man will be spared." After saying this, Li Rou deliberately put on a fierce expression.

  "Is the witch available?" Just then, a man's voice came from outside the hall.

  Upon hearing this, Qinglian was taken aback for a moment, then her face lit up with joy, and she smiled lightly: "This is great, your man has arrived, I won't disturb you two anymore, it's just as well that I have some other business to attend to with my fellow sisters."

  As she spoke, Qinglian turned and walked out, and Li Rou heard Qinglian greet someone, then a young man in white clothes walked into the hall.

  "Yè Xuān?" Looking at the uniquely elegant Ye Fei in front of her, Li Róu was slightly taken aback and said a sentence. Although she had recognized his voice, when she saw Ye Fei's appearance, she couldn't help but let out a sigh.

  Wearing a white robe, he has a robust build. Although his skin is slightly dark and his eyes are somewhat dull, he still can't hide that unique temperament. Between his eyebrows, a hint of determination is revealed.

  Just as Li Rou was slightly stunned, Ye Fei also froze for a moment. The current Li Rou is no longer the little yellow-haired girl from back then. Her figure has become more slender and she has lost some of her girlish innocence, looking even more perfect.

  Skin as smooth as sheep's fat, small and delicate lips, long eyelashes blinking slightly, eyes looking like clear spring water, a beautiful scenery that delights the heart.

  "Witch." Ye Fei said lightly, the two looked at each other, without needing too many words, but they could both understand each other's thoughts and deep emotions.

  "You've finally come out, I thought you wouldn't be willing to leave!" Lei Rou said with some warmth and anger.

  Ye Fei smiled slightly and said faintly, "This time the closed-door period was a bit long, but what can you do? Sometimes things have to be done. Before, I didn't have the ability, but now I've gained some confidence."

  The two of them sat down separately. Li Rou's delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly as she said softly, "It seems like you're going out again? I'll accompany you!"

  "No way, this time it has to be me who goes. No one else can get involved." Ye Fei said resolutely.

  "It seems that the worry you mentioned earlier is related to this matter, right? Although your cultivation has improved, I still don't feel at ease with you going alone." Lei Rou also said with a serious expression.

  "Heh heh. Don't worry. If I didn't have some confidence, I wouldn't go to my death. Now, apart from Condensed Dan high-level, ordinary foundation great perfection, even if I'm not a match, self-preservation is still no problem." Ye Fei smiled slightly and comforted him.

  After a moment of contemplation, Li Rou's eyes fixed on Ye Fei and she said: "I asked you before, but you never told me. Are you still not going to say now? Even if I don't go with you, at least let me know what you're doing, okay?"

  Seeing Li Rou's tense face and words full of concern, Ye Fei couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart, wanting to hold the person in front of him in his arms. But now, it was not possible, at least not until he had settled the matter at hand before he could attend to his own personal feelings.

  After a moment's thought, Ye Fei decided to tell Li Rou about it. Anyway, the relationship between the two was not afraid that she would spread it out. In this way, Ye Fei told Li Rou about his origin and the deep blood feud in general.

  It took about a meal's worth of time before Ye Fei finally stopped speaking, his eyes revealing a hint of cold light.

  Li Rou's face looked a bit unusual, with a worried and tense expression. Ye Fei smiled slightly and said softly, "Don't worry, since I dare to go back, I have some confidence, you can rest assured and stay at Qian Ya Sect, I'll be back."

  Li Rou's expression changed slightly, and she murmured: "Waiting for you to come back? But..."

  Seeing Li Rou's change, Ye Fei couldn't help but frown, thinking to himself, could the rumors he heard on the road be true? Now that he thought about it, it seemed that Wan Feng and the others had also warned him in a roundabout way, that Li Rou seemed to be very close to some messenger.

  "What's going on? You witch, are the rumors outside true? It seems that I've missed a lot of things during my years of seclusion." Ye Fei suddenly asked.

  Upon hearing this, Lei Rou's face changed slightly, and she hastily asked: "What rumors have you heard?"

  After a moment of silence, Ye Fei's expression turned serious as he asked, "I've heard that you're quite close to the Envoy. Is there any truth to this?"

  "This!" Li Rou was somewhat hesitant and her eyes showed a hint of panic.

  Seeing this, Ye Fei's heart turned over and he asked uncertainly: "Could it be that you really have a crush on the messenger?"

  Li Rou's face showed a look of entanglement, and after a moment, her expression suddenly calmed down. She asked Ye Fei, "Do you have confidence in advancing to the Condensing Dan stage?"

  Ye Fei was taken aback for a moment, then thought for a while and somewhat understood. His face showed a hint of anger as he said: "What? If you're not confident in advancing, are you going to choose him just to consider your own future?"

  "Whatever, to be honest, I'm not confident either. After all, there's almost no Golden Elixir in this desolate state. Think about it yourself, humph!"

  After finishing speaking, Ye Fei left with a hint of anger in his heart, while Li Rou surprisingly didn't say anything and let him go.

  Back at his residence, Ye Fei's anger seemed to have dissipated somewhat, replaced by a kind of pain, an inexplicable ache in his heart, and a feeling of restless unease.

  It wasn't until after sitting quietly by her bedside for three whole days that she finally managed to calm her mind.

  "I seem to have been a bit rash! Ah. Judging from what I know of her, she shouldn't be that kind of person, and I'm a bit..." Before he could finish speaking, something unexpected happened.

  Wan Feng reported in a loud voice that Li Rou had come looking for him. After a moment's thought, he told Wan Feng to let Li Rou in.

  In the quiet room, as soon as Li Rou entered the house, she closed the door and sat on a wooden chair beside the bed. Neither of them spoke, and they remained silent for a long time...

  "When are you leaving?" Li Rou broke the silence first, asking softly.

  Glancing at Li Rou, Ye Fei said with a hint of guilt: "Tomorrow then!"

  "So anxious?" Li Rou looked somewhat surprised.

  "Uh, let's just settle this matter and end this feud...". The words trailed off as Ye Fei stopped mid-sentence.

  The atmosphere in the room is somewhat oppressive.

  "Sorry, I was a bit impulsive that day!" Ye Fei said with his head down, without looking at Li Rou.

  Upon hearing this, Li Rou's slender body trembled, her facial expression changing constantly, seemingly hesitant and fearful at the same time. After a moment, she let out a deep breath and suddenly stood up.

  She walked to the bed, sat down slowly at the edge of the bed, and leaned into Ye Fei's arms. This scene made Ye Fei a bit at a loss, but he didn't stop her or dodge her, letting Li Rou lean against him instead.

  "Ye Xuan, tonight, I don't want to go back to Wanxia Peak." Li Rou murmured in a barely audible voice.

  Yefei was taken aback at first, then hesitated, it seemed that Lirou only signed the contract with some difficulty, and should be worried about how to deal with the envoy.

  After a moment of contemplation, feeling the soft and boneless body in his arms, smelling the faint fragrance on her, Ye Fei looked somewhat distracted, stretched out his hand, and gently touched Li Ruo's forehead.

  "That day was all my fault, but now we can't, wait until I've finished dealing with things, and when I get back, whatever happens, we'll face it together." Although his heart was somewhat restless, Ye Fei ultimately suppressed himself with reason.

  Upon hearing this, Li Rou's delicate body trembled slightly, and she said softly: "You, are you looking down on me?"

  "No, don't get any ideas, if I didn't care about you, I wouldn't have gotten angry that day. It's just not the right time yet, trust me, no matter what difficulties we face, I'll be with you through it all." Ye Fei said with a slight smile.

  So, Li Rou took the initiative to throw herself into Ye Fei's arms, but was ultimately rejected by him. Now, he is thinking of revenge and is worried that if something unexpected happens to himself, it may harm Li Rou. Moreover, in these few months when nothing can be done,

  They chatted until late at night before Ye Fei sent Li Rou off, and as she was leaving, Li Rou's eyes seemed a bit downcast, while Ye Fei comforted her with a few words.

  Back at his residence, Ye Fei adjusted his thoughts, his eyes narrowing slightly as a hint of chill flashed in them. The resentment and hatred that had been accumulating in his heart for many years would finally be resolved. Although he was alone, Ye Fei was confident that he could thoroughly settle this vendetta.

  Wait until the time comes back, and then accompany Li Rou well. No matter what happens, Ye Fei believes that there is a way to solve it. Just like this, thinking about it, Ye Fei slowly closed his eyes. (End of chapter)
