Chapter 119: Being Ambushed

  "This is the Dan room where Ling'er usually refines her pills, and there are plenty of pill-refining materials inside. What else do you need to take care of? Zhao Dehai stroked his beard and said: "It's up to you two to expel the Dan Demon from Ling'er's body."

  Ye Feng nodded and bowed his head: "Zhao Zhanglao can rest assured, I will definitely do my best."

  "There are still many guests outside, I won't accompany the two of you anymore." After finishing speaking, Zhao Dehai turned around and walked out of Danfang, closing the door with his hand.

  The moment the door closed, Mu Zhaoxue stomped her foot and asked urgently, "What are you up to, you little scoundrel? Originally, we didn't need to intervene in this trivial matter. With so many sects unable to resolve it, do you think refining a few elixirs will suffice? This is no laughing matter; if things go awry, it could tarnish the reputation of our Inverse Heaven Sword Sect."

  Ye Feng smiled and said, "Beautiful Shifu doesn't believe in your disciple? Since you're here, it's just a small effort, besides, I don't think this matter is that complicated, something that can be solved with just one pill, yet those rookies made such a big fuss about it, they're simply too inexperienced."

  "What about the dishes?" Mu Zhaoxue said with a slight smile, "The Dan Yang Alliance's alchemy skills are among the best in the Eastern Continent. Even if the Lord of Luo Sect personally refined the pills, they wouldn't be comparable to those refined by Ma Nan Gong, the leader of the Dan Yang Alliance. And you're just a disciple of the Lord of Luo Sect."

  "Hey, beautiful sister, have you forgotten? You didn't believe I could refine equipment back then either. Now aren't you pulling me to try my hand at the Thousand Year Ice River?"

  Mu Zhaoxue's two big eyes quickly turned around, and after a moment of thought: That's right, having known this kid for over ten days, he had been scared by him several times, and it seemed that this time would be no exception. This kid was really puzzling!

  "Even if what you said is true, the Jingyuan Dan can save Zhao Lingzi, but half a day's time is too rushed, isn't it?" Mu Zhaoxue furrowed her brow and said: "Refining an ordinary 'Essence Qi Pill' takes a whole day, how can we possibly make it in just half a day?"

  Ye Feng shook his head and said, "The Jing Shen Gui Yuan Dan is different from other Qi-supplementing and Yuan-reinforcing pills. This pill can purify the mind, making it easier to concentrate one's spirit, return to the origin, and eliminate distracting thoughts. It is a kind of spiritual-regulating pill. The refining process is faster than that of ordinary Qi-increasing pills, and the medicinal materials used are also relatively common."

  Mu Zhaoxue looked at Ye Feng in surprise: "You understand this pill? This spiritual auxiliary pill is indeed faster to refine, but there are very few people who know the pill formula. How do you know?"

  Ye Feng scratched his head and said: "Eh... coincidentally obtained Dan formula, just good luck."

  "Luck? Then I'll ask you, how do you know this pill will definitely work?"

  Ye Feng crossed his hands over his chest and said, "In my opinion, Zhao Lingzi's Dan Demon is born from the Heart Demon. Simply using dan medicine to expel the Dan Demon can only treat the symptoms, not the root cause. As the saying goes, 'the birth and death of demons are but a shadow of the deluded heart.' Only by fundamentally eliminating the Heart Demon can the trivial Dan Demon be dispelled. This Condensing Spirit Returning to Origin Dan happens to be able to purify the mind, sublimate the spirit, and thus resolve the Heart Demon."

  Mu Zhaoxue nodded in surprise and said: "You little kid knows quite a lot!"

  "Heh heh," Ye Feng chuckled, rubbing the back of his head, "Let's hurry up and refine the dan." After finishing speaking, he took out some medicinal materials from his Qiankun bag and selected a portion from the dan room. He configured them properly and put them all into the large cauldron in the middle of the dan room. Then, he picked up a cattail leaf fan from the ground and fanned the fire vigorously.

  Mu Zhaoxue gazed at Ye Feng's back as he fanned the flames, silently pondering: He's incredibly skilled in both alchemy and artifact refinement! How many secrets is this kid hiding?! Being with him is getting more and more interesting.

  The sun sets in the west, and the afterglow gradually fades away. In the vast mountains and fields, dusk falls, and the clouds at the edge of the sky have already been dyed a deep red.

  "It's almost done." Ye Feng tossed the cattail fan in his hand to the ground, and with a casual pinch of his fingers, he opened the lid of the cauldron. A cloud of mist rose up, and a white elixir pill radiating seven-colored light fell into his hand.

  It's actually another top-grade elixir! Mu Zhaoxue involuntarily trembled, thinking to herself: If the top-grade Soul Elixir she had refined on the boat a few days ago was just a coincidence, then how could this time's top-grade elixir be explained? How is it possible that both times were top-grade elixirs?!

  Ye Feng looked at the crystal-like Condensing Spirit Returning to Origin Pill in his hand, which was about the size of a lychee, and smiled at Mu Zhaoxue: "The great achievement is complete, let's go, beautiful Shifu sister, let's see if it works or not."

  On the main hall, dozens of alchemy masters from various sects were seated. Hua Jian and Ma Hengxin were also among them, both sitting upright with expressionless faces. Zhao Dehai walked back and forth on the main hall with his hands behind his back.

  "Here they come, Ye Gongzi and Mu Niang have arrived!"

  Everyone's eyes were fixed on the entrance, as Ye Feng and Mu Zhaoxue walked towards them in big strides from the courtyard.

  "How is it?" Ye Feng had just walked to the door when Zhao Dejiang hurriedly came up and anxiously asked, "Is the Dan medicine refined yet?"

  Ye Feng's face was solemn as he shook his head.

  "Ah!" Zhao Dehai's face suddenly turned pale, his two eyes stared like a cow's, and he kept panting heavily.

  "Alas, I accidentally refined it!" Ye Feng sighed, shaking his head.

  Zhao Dehai grabbed Ye Feng's arm and exclaimed excitedly: "What did you say? Has it been refined? That's great, Ling'er should be saved now!"

  "That's not necessarily true." Ma Hengxin sat on the chair with a disgruntled expression and said, "Our Dan Yang Alliance's Zhī Yáng Bì Xié Dān didn't even have any effect, but this kid used only half a day to refine some sort of Qíng Shén Dān or something. I think it's just a waste of time, and who knows, it might even harm Miss Zhao. Who would believe in his elixir?"

  Everyone also followed and echoed: "Yes, this kid is really arrogant. We have carefully refined so many elixirs with so many people, but they have not worked. This kid spent half a day refining the broken elixir, what's the use of it? If it can save Miss Zhao like this, we, these alchemy masters, might as well go die, hum!"

  Ye Feng shrugged and smiled: "I have no opinion, let's try it out and see?"

  Zhao Dehai nodded and said: "You follow me."

  Ye Feng followed Mu Zhaoxue and Zhao Dehai, walking towards the grand hall. Suddenly, Ye Feng felt a large hand on his shoulder, and a slight stinging sensation on the back of his head. He turned around to see that it was Hua Jian!

  Hua Jian patted Ye Feng's shoulder and smiled: "Hehe, this Brother Ye is not ordinary, Hua Jian really admires you."

  I admire your sister, I haven't even gone in yet and you know for sure it'll work? Stop flattering me.

  Ye Feng swept his shoulder and said disdainfully, "Everyone knows that this young master is not ordinary, do you still need to say it?" He turned around and walked into the grand hall with Mu Zhaoxue.

  Hua Jian gazed at Ye Feng's back, narrowing his fox-like eyes, a hint of malicious smile playing on the corners of his mouth.

  Three people entered the grand hall, Ye Feng took out the Jing Shen Gui Yuan Dan and said to Zhao Dehai: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you, Master Zhao, to retreat for a moment, lest my energy be distracted later and I fall into madness."

  Zhao Dehai nodded and left the main hall with a worried expression on his face.

  Ye Feng smiled and nodded at Mu Zhao Xue.

  "What? Do I have to go out too?" Mu Zhaoxue said angrily: "Will I harm you?"

  "Hey, beautiful sister has misunderstood." Ye Feng smiled and said: "In a while, I still need to urge the spiritual symbol, my spirit needs to be highly concentrated. Such a beautiful beauty standing by my side, in case I have other wild thoughts, it's easy to be controlled by the Dan Demon in Zhao Lingzi's body. At that time, I'm afraid I'll also lie in this formation."

  Mu Zhaoxue asked in confusion: "Isn't it enough to just give her the Jing Shen Gui Yuan Dan, why do you still need to activate the Ling Fu?"

  "After refining the Jing Shen Gui Yuan Dan, it is actually necessary to input a 'Clear Heart Symbol' into the elixir to make it complete, but that would take at least three to five more days. To save time, I can only let Zhao Lingzi swallow the elixir first and then input the Clear Heart Symbol into her body."

  Mu Zhaoxue raised the corner of her mouth and said, "Then you can rest assured about the spell, I'll go to the entrance and keep watch for you." After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked out of the grand hall.

  Ye Feng walked to Zhao Lingzi's side, stuffed the Condensing Spirit and Solidifying Yuan Dan into Zhao Lingzi's mouth, and then took out a Clear Mind Talisman from the Qiankun bag. Next, Ye Feng sat down on the ground with his legs crossed, his eyes slightly closed, concentrating his energy to mobilize the true qi in his body to gather at his fingertips. With a wave of his hand, he formed a hand seal, and the Clear Mind Talisman slowly floated up into the air.

  With a whoosh, the Clear Mind Symbol floating in mid-air suddenly stuck to Zhao Lingzi's forehead. Ye Feng quickly changed several hand seals, and the yellow Clear Mind Symbol became increasingly blurred, gradually merging into Zhao Lingzi's body.

  After half a stick of incense, the evil energy surrounding the Golden Elixir gradually dissipated like steam, and the demon in the Golden Elixir let out a series of mournful cries. Its ferocious face grew smaller and smaller before completely disappearing. The Golden Elixir hovering in mid-air shone brightly once again, slowly falling down and merging into Zhao Lingzi's body.

  Ye Feng sat on the ground, suddenly opening his eyes fiercely, his eyeballs filled with bloodshot, occasionally flashing red light, his whole body feeling a wave of heat, as if he had gone mad, and rushed towards Zhao Lingzi in front of him.

  "Wake up, Ye Feng, wake up..." The loach's consciousness was shouting non-stop in the sea of consciousness.

  Ye Feng seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit and couldn't hear the voice of the loach at all, frantically tearing Zhao Lingzi's clothes apart, followed by another bout of frantic scratching.

  On the other hand, in a dark corner of the Lingxu Sword Sect, Hua Jian had a sinister smile on his face, holding a palm-sized straw man with a long strand of hair wrapped around it. The shape and appearance of the straw man looked very similar to Ye Feng.

  "You're meddling in other people's business, ruining my good fortune. Now I'll make sure you can't just walk away." Hua Jian gritted his teeth as he stared at the straw man in his hand, his other hand occasionally striking out with a palm technique, his fingertips emitting a stream of black gas that periodically entered the straw man's body.
