Chapter 111: Qing Leng Fruit, Bao Gai Tan Bai

  Qīng Líng Tiě, initially requires a strong and fierce flame to peel off the dry and tough outer shell of the spiritual medicine, then it needs to be roasted with a gentle fire to bring out the essence of the medicinal material. The transformation between these flames is the most testing of the alchemist's mental strength.

  Moreover, Xu Yang was using the Spirit Gathering Array to refine the elixir, and a small mistake would have unpredictable consequences, with an even lower tolerance for error.

  Li Yanzhi didn't say anything more, she stood aside nervously watching, knowing that she couldn't disturb Xu Yang at this time.

  The withered shell of the spiritual medicine cracked and fell off, revealing its dark red inner core. Li Yuanxi held her breath, this was the crucial moment to control the flame.

  Xu Yang placed himself in the path of the wind, and a fierce flame burst out from his left hand without any trembling. His eyes were fixed intently on the flames.

  Suddenly, the jumping high flames contracted inward, just after the last piece of shell fell off, a cluster of fine light red flames rose up.

  "Soft fire conversion!" Li Yunxi was amazed in her heart, and the adjustment of flames and temperature by Xu Yang just now was simply perfect. She now vaguely believed that Xu Yang had the ability to refine this [Longevity Pill].

  With the realm of Xuan Shi, he refined four-grade elixirs! This is absolutely a miracle. As everyone knows, many fourth-grade medicinal materials are extremely tough and even Huo Ji Xuan Shi found it difficult to refine them, let alone Xuan Shi.

  Soon, the first medicinal material for refining the "Elixir of Longevity" - the withered green spirit vine, was refined by Xu Yang. A thin layer of medicinal residue covered the bottom of the Huo Wen Ding, and at the mouth of the ding, where Xu Yang's Xuanli supported it, a ball of pure yellow-brown medicinal energy was constantly churning.

  Xu Yang gently exhaled and with a slight wave of his right hand, the second main medicine, Sì Xiāng Guǒ, floated lightly over.

  Four-phase fruit is a general term, which can be divided into four categories according to their properties: Dilinshi, Blueberry, Huoshi Flower Fruit and Qingling Fruit, corresponding to the four extremes of earth, water, fire and wind. Xu Yang refined the [Yanshou Dan] for Lin Yuan Jun in Leizhou, considering that this Xuan Jun is a wind extreme Xuan, naturally using the wind extreme four-phase fruit - Qingling Fruit.

  Xu Yang's forehead was faintly beading with sweat as he used the Spirit Gathering Array to control the flames, which truly tested his mental strength.

  The success rate of alchemy is closely related to one's level of concentration. The higher the grade of spiritual elixir, the higher and longer the requirement for the alchemist's mental focus.

  Seeing Xuyang's unwavering gaze, his focused expression as he refined the elixir, Li Yuanzi secretly thought: So this young man is quite good-looking, and when he concentrates on doing something, it's very charming.

  In Li Yuanxi's daydream, Xu Yang had already refined the Qingling fruit. The green skin of the fruit was scorched and fell to the bottom of the cauldron. Above the mouth of the cauldron, a ball of green energy was constantly changing shape.

  Outside the courtyard where Xu Yang was refining the elixir, Li Wang and Bu Yi were waiting.

  Suddenly, a servant from the Li family hurried over and said: "A member of the Xu family, claiming to be Bao Gai, is waiting at the gate, saying he wants to see Young Master Xu Yang."

  "Let him wait in the gatehouse for now. Xu Yang is currently refining his elixir, and disturbing him abruptly will surely render all his previous efforts useless."

  Bu Yi stepped forward and said respectfully: "Lord Li Wang Gongzi, perhaps there is something important going on under the canopy, why not let Bu Yi go take a look?"

  Li Wang naturally wouldn't stop him, waving his hand to order the servant to lead the way, taking a detour through the winding garden path, heading towards the main gate.

  Outside the Li Mansion.

  Bao Gai kept circling beside the gate, his expression a mix of excitement and nervousness.

  "Bao Gai, is something wrong with the estate?" A gentle voice came from the gate, and a woman in a blue dress walked over.

  Bao Gai saw Bu Yi and immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at her. He stuttered: "Bu... Bu Yi... nothing important... I think the young master is about to leave, so I came to pay my respects..."

  "Master is currently refining his elixir, how can he see you at this time? You've walked 50 miles of rugged road to get here, there must be something important... Don't hide it, have you committed some kind of mistake?"

  "No, no."

  "If you won't speak, I'll leave." Bu Yi turned around and was about to walk away.

  Bao Gai suddenly rushed forward, hastily grabbing onto Bu Yi's sleeve. With a ripping sound, the blue sleeve was torn open, revealing a segment of jade-like arm as white as snow.

  Bu Yi was startled and hastily retreated a step, covering her arm, scolding: "Bao Gai, what's wrong with you, have you lost your soul?"

  Bao Gai hastily said: "Right, sorry..." He hesitated for a moment before mustering up the courage to say: "Bu Bu Yi, are you willing to follow me?"

  "What?" Bu Yi didn't react at first.

  With her cleverness, she quickly understood Bao Gai's meaning and couldn't help but feel both ashamed and angry. She said coldly: "Bao Gai, I think you've really gone mad! Let me ask you, who rescued you from the clutches of Xu Bo's evil gang? Who gave your family land to farm? Who taught you martial arts and made you a master?"

  She said a sentence, and Bao Gai's head lowered a little, almost reaching his chest: "Yes, yes, young master."

  "How will you repay Master then? By becoming a fugitive slave? And taking me with you?"

  Bao Gai lifted her head, and tears sparkled in her eyes: "But, Bu Yi... I've always liked you!"

  "I heard you're going to follow the young master on a long journey, my heart feels like it's being pierced by an awl!" Bao Gai said excitedly. "Bu Yi, since you moved to Xu Town, I've taken a liking to you. If I don't see you for a day, my heart feels empty and I lose all motivation. Bu Yi, let's go talk to the young master and ask him to let you stay behind, okay? I promise to treat you well for the rest of my life!"

  Bu Yi sighed: "You don't understand, Bao Gai."

  "What's going on?" Bao Gai was somewhat stunned.

  "What I want, you can't give me," said Bu Yi coldly. "But I see that Young Master has the ability to give me everything I want! That's why I'm shamelessly following Young Master on this journey."

  Bao's face turned pale and he took a step back.

  "This, this isn't true, Bao Yi! You're not that kind of person!" Baogai exclaimed. He stared intently at Bao Yi's pale face, yearning to discover a hint of truth from it.

  "Hey, no noise in front of Junhou's mansion!" A guard from the Li family walked over, frowning at Bao Gai.

  Bu Yi took a deep breath and said to the guard, "Brother, please get rid of this person." She turned around and walked back into the mansion, coldly throwing down a sentence: "Bao Gai, Young Master has entrusted the estate to you. If you betray his trust and run away with your tail between your legs, I'll never look up to you for the rest of my life!"

  Bao's face turned ashen, and he was dragged away by the Lei family guards, who gripped his collar. They pushed him hundreds of meters away before he collapsed to the ground.
