Chapter 292

The ninety-six medicinal herbs were placed into the Phoenix Bucket Pill Furnace according to the order.

What Qu Liuxi needed to master was not only not to make any mistakes in order, but also not to make any mistakes in time.

The time needed for each herb to enter the Phoenix Flute Pill Cauldron must be perfect. If the time was slightly too short, the medicinal effect could change.

Even if there was no change, even if there was a slight decrease or enhancement in the medicinal effect, he would still be unable to refine a purple rank pill.

A Purple grade divine pill was the most important test of an alchemist’s life.

There were many shortcuts in this world, but there were none in alchemy.

Every procedure must be flawless from the start of the drug selection.

A layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Qu Liuxi’s forehead. With her control of the Phoenix Cry Pill Cauldron, her understanding of the medicinal ingredients, and her grasp of time, there wouldn’t be any problems with the previous matters.

Even though she was only a young girl, in terms of alchemy and experience, she was no worse than those who had been famous for a long time.

The only thing missing was the Pill Fire.

Who asked Old Huo if he could create a Purple grade divine artifact?

First of all, he had to satisfy three requirements, and none of them could be lacking.

First of all, Old Huo was an artificer master and had unparalleled experience in refining artifacts. No one knew how to forge artifacts better than he did.

Secondly, although Old Huo’s cultivation level was low, he and his Cauldron were related by blood.

By nourishing it with his own blood, he was able to obtain the cauldron for the Star Pattern Meteor Iron.

The cauldron was connected with his heart, and the Pill Fire had reached the quality of the Purple Flame.

Earth 3, that was the Cauldron. Lao Huo’s Cauldron was made of Star Pattern Meteor, so its success rate was extremely high.

Where’s Qu Liuxi?

She couldn’t be considered a master pharmacist; her cultivation level wasn’t high enough, so without the Violet Flame, the success rate for refining a Violet Rank Pill was almost zero.

Even if she had the Divine Phoenix Casting Pill Furnace, even if she did not make any mistakes in the process, the Pill Fire was not at the level of the Purple Flame, and success would only be a dream come true.

But she didn’t have any other choice. Why did An Zaiyi use the price of exploding a purple grade divine artifact to carve out a way home?

To save them.

He was thin and injured, Gu Qianye was injured, and more than half of the eight hundred disciples in the sect had died or been injured.

If An Zaiyue wanted to come back, he would die with everyone, even if it meant his death.

Right now, the only person who could save him was herself, so Qu Liuxi told herself that she definitely couldn’t fail.

Furthermore, this method could only be used once. If he were to fail, An Zhe would die.

And if he didn’t, he would still die.

Qu Liuxi didn’t know what An Zaiyue had experienced before. Even now, the betrayal on the mountain hadn’t been mentioned to them. An Zaiyue didn’t want them to experience the grief and anger of being betrayed.

This was the second time.

The second time, he was plotted against by someone else because of someone he cared about.

Last time, An Zuoshi was ambushed because of Chen Zhong. This time, it was because of Xiao Qitao.

How similar were these two experiences?

However, the truth was completely different. That time, it was Chen Zhong who plotted against An Zaiyue. It was a complete betrayal.

But this time, Xiao Qidao was holding onto An Zaiyue’s hand as they walked back. At that moment, An Zhe’s heart was very peaceful. He did not feel any remorse even when facing death again.

After the last siege, he was left alone.

This time, there were many people around him.

Qu Liuxi raised her right hand in the air and slowly placed An Zhe into the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace.

The Chinese herbal medicine within the Phoenix Flute Pill Cauldron was boiling, and the dark green medicinal energy was foggy like.

After An Zhe’s body entered the Phoenix Struggle Pill Cauldron, it was quickly enveloped by the medicinal energy.

The medicine began to seep into his wounds and every pore, mending his wounds.

This was the process of refining pills, but it was used to refine people.

Qu Liuxi kept taking deep breaths, trying to prevent herself from having any emotional fluctuations.

The first step in alchemy was to absorb the essence of medicine.

The second step was to condense the medicinal aura into a single point to form a medicinal pill.

The third step was to control the pill fire to completely form the pill.

Currently, the struggle within the Phoenix’s Crooked pill furnace was like a pill that had yet to take shape. The essence of the medicine had already been completely extracted, and the next step was to send all the essence of the medicine into An Zhe’s body.

As the medicinal energy entered through his wounds and pores bit by bit, An Zhe’s body began to involuntarily tremble.

Feeling the medicinal effect begin to enter her body, Qu Liuxi let out a sigh of relief.

However, at this moment, An Zhe suddenly sat up in his furnace, opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

The medicinal energy that had just entered his body began to flow in reverse, constantly leaking out from his body.

Qu Liuxi’s expression immediately changed. She knew what this meant.

The power of the Purple grade divine tool was still lingering in An Zhe’s body. That power was simply too powerful.

The Purple grade divine artifact already possessed a faint amount of intelligence. The remnants of the Purple grade Qi that remained in An Zhe’s body naturally did not wish for it to dissipate.

Perhaps the purple qi knew that once it entered An Zhe’s body, it would be forced out.

As long as he left this body, it would vanish into thin air.

The Dark Sword didn’t want to disappear, didn’t want to die.

“”I know he was wrong about you.””

Qu Liuxi looked at the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace and her tears could not help but flow down, “”At that time, he didn’t have any other choice, so he could only do that.””

I don’t know how to apologize to you for him. If I could, I would be willing to do it for him. You came into my body, and I will protect you.

“”But if you continue like this, he will die, and you will also dissipate.””

An Zeng’s body constantly twisted within the furnace. This was because the violet energy was circulating back and forth, expelling all the medicinal energy that entered An Zhe’s body.

An Zhe’s injuries began to worsen rapidly, turning black.

Gu Qianye ran over, “”What’s going on?””

Qu Liuxi cried out, “”My Pill Fire cannot reach the Purple Flame, so I can’t refine the remaining Purple Qi.””

Now that the dark purple energy of the sword was inside his body, it saw his body as the final destination.

“”If the purple qi doesn’t come out, he will die without a doubt.””

Gu Qianye eagerly asked, “”What can I do?””

Qu Liuxi shook her head. “”No one can do anything.””

At this moment, the cat owner walked over with the magic binding cloth in his mouth, then abruptly threw his head back.

The Demon Binding Cloth flew up, spun around in midair, and then pounced down.

A faint stream of purple gas shot out from An Zhan’s body like a sword towards the Demon Binding Cloth. With a ‘shua’ sound, the Demon Binding Cloth suddenly shrunk together to avoid the sword intent, then it once again pounced down.

The sword qi defended the outside of An Zhe’s body, even when the Demon Binding Cloth tried to get any closer, it would still be forced back by the sword qi.

At the same time, the good grandpa jumped onto Qu Liuxi’s arm and mewled.

It lowered its head and bit down on its own leg, its expression contorted in pain.

Then it lifted up the leg that it had bitten, letting the blood drip into the pill fire in her palm.

“”It... it’s helping you!””

Gu Qianye stared with widened eyes.

When the few drops of blood entered Crooked River’s palm, her expression immediately changed. This was because she could feel the Pill Fire changing.

The temperature of the Pill Fire had reached a level that she had never been able to reach before!

As the temperature of the pill fire increased, the pale golden pill fire in her palm also gradually changed.

Gradually, the light golden color changed to a pure gold color. That kind of heavy golden color was so resplendent.

When the pill fire turned pure gold, the medicinal essence in the pill furnace began to gather together again, before seeping back into An Zhe’s body.

The light purple sword qi was like a snake as it drilled into An Zeng’s body. Not long later, the medicinal energy was once again forced out.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Demon Binding Cloth swooped down, almost nearing An Xuan’s body.

After forcing back the herbal Qi, the light purple sword intent appeared once again, stabbing towards the Demon Binding Cloth.

The Demon Binding Cloth dodged a little too slowly, and a small hole was cut on the edge of the cloth.

The good sir seemed a little angry.

He looked down at his injured leg. More drops of blood.

Then, it raised its head and mewled, obviously communicating with the Demon Binding Cloth.

The Demon Binding Cloth was also injured. Originally, he didn’t want to get any closer, but after letting out a cry, it seemed to let out a long sigh, before diving down once again.

When the Good Lord’s blood entered the Pill Fire once again, the Pill Fire also changed from a pure gold to a purplish gold.

The inner flame was pure gold, and the outer edge was purple.

When the Purple Gold Pill Fire appeared, Qu Liuxi could not help but let out a soft cry of pain.

Her fleshly body couldn’t withstand the Purple Gold Pill Fire.

Her palm began to change color, red from the fire.

How many people had experienced the sensation of their palms being burned?

An ordinary flame like this was already unbearable, let alone the purplish-gold flame.

The intense pain coming from her palm caused Qu Liuxi’s face to distort. Large beads of sweat fell from her forehead.

However, she still did not move. Her palm was as steady as Mt. Tai.

“”Meow!””

The good grandpa suddenly raised his head and shouted towards the sky. His voice had a domineering air to it.

The Demon Binding Cloth rushed down, taking advantage of the entanglement between the purple sword intent and the herbal Qi, and fiercely wrapped around An Zeng’s body.

The Demon Binding Cloth quickly wrapped around An Zhe in a circle, tightly wrapping him up in a split-second.

The good sir jumped up from Qu Liuxi’s arm and stood at the edge of the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace. He lowered his head to look at the tightly bound An Zhe and let out a low cry.

It sounded like a call, yet also like a declaration.

The stars in its eyes began to circulate faster and faster, like a rotating galaxy.

A faint purple gas seeped out from under the Demon Binding Cloth, and flew into the eyes of the kind master like a wisp of smoke.

The good lord raised his head, and the stars in his eyes swirled like vortexes.

Very quickly, the light purple airflow was all sucked in.

The good grandpa leaped down from the Phoenix Crunch Pill Cauldron and landed on the ground beside him.

There was a broken sword stuck there, part of the sword that Anthea had brought back from the middle of the road.

There was no light, only a completely destroyed purple divine artifact.

The good sir looked at the broken sword, and after a cry, the purple qi in his eyes began to emanate outwards.

All the purple qi he had absorbed from An Zhe’s body was poured into the broken sword.

A moment later, the broken sword began to emit a faint purple glow before disappearing completely.

The Demon Binding Cloth could no longer hold on and rose into the air from within the Phoenix’s Crooked pill furnace. Smoke began to rise from it.

Qu Liuxi suddenly raised her head and shouted, her eyes turning red.

With her left hand, she continued to temper the Phoenix Flute Pill Furnace with the Purple Gold Fire. Her right thumb flicked out and broke her middle finger, dripping her blood into the Purple Gold Fire.

In an instant, the flames soared upwards.

The Purple Gold Fire began to slowly change, gradually becoming a pure Purple Flame!

Within the Phoenix Crunch Pill Cauldron, all of the medicinal energy changed from dark green to purple, and the violet energy started to rapidly flow into An Zhe’s body.

An Zeng stopped twisting his body, and all the purple qi instantly entered his body.

Then, a layer of hard shell gradually formed around An Zhe’s body. It looked like an eggshell, but it was bright and resplendent with purple light swirling around it!

Qu Liuxi waited until the hard shell was perfectly formed before finally being unable to hold on any longer. She clenched her teeth and steadily lowered the Phoenix Crunch Pill Furnace before her body went limp and fell to the ground.

Gu Qianye quickly ran over, tears silently streaming down his face as he stared at the black patch on Gu Qianye’s palm.

Qu Liuxi used up almost all of her cultivation and fell into a deep coma.”
