A Sneak Attack

"Haha, there's a delicate beauty sitting beside me, and her entire body is dripping with sweat. It's already not bad that I can control my beastly nature. How can I still have the heart to refine pills!"

Mu Yun laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "Alright, now that you've broken through to the fourth level, you have some comprehension. It's not something you can comprehend in a short period of time. I'll start refining now. Watch carefully. How much you can comprehend will depend on your aptitude. If you don't understand, ask me after you're done refining!"

"Yes!"

Miao Xianyu knew that when an alchemist was refining pills, it was a taboo to be disturbed. Otherwise, the cauldron would explode and everything would be for naught.

In the worst case, he might even go berserk!

She also knew that it wasn't that Mu Yun wasn't in the mood to refine pills. Instead, he was deliberately waiting for her so that she could watch his entire pill refining process and learn seriously.

"Mentor Mu Yun …"

As she murmured, Miao Xianyu collected all her thoughts and began to observe Mu Yun's methods.

At this moment, Mu Yun was already immersed in refining pills.

Even as an Immortal King in his previous life, Mu Yun had refined elixirs countless times, but every time he touched an elixir, he would be completely mesmerized.

Fusing all kinds of medicinal herbs, Yao Cores, and some Heaven and Earth treasures into the cauldron, then using the cauldron fire, it was like performing a magic trick to refine the Spirit Pills he wanted.

This feeling made him unable to stop himself.

First, he ignited the good materials. The flames from the burning wood gradually emitted heat from the bottom of the pill furnace, causing the pill furnace to gradually rise in temperature.

Immediately after, the Demonic Core of the fire-attribute Demonic Beast below the pill furnace was ignited, and the flames slowly rose.

"Even though the quality of the flame produced by the Good Wood isn't very high, it is stable and can be easily controlled by an alchemist!"

As Mu Yun controlled the flames, she said, "However, the flames contained in the Demonic Core of a fire-attribute Demonic Beast are more powerful and have better effects. It's just that the Demonic Core is difficult to control, so it's not suitable to use the Demonic Core to heat it up in the beginning."

In fact, Mu Yun was 90% confident that the elixir would not be affected if she heated it directly.

However, in order to allow Miao Xianyu to comprehend it better, he chose to be a little more troublesome.

"If it's the core of a spirit beast, there wouldn't be such a problem!" Mu Yun explained, "Spirit beasts already have spiritual intelligence. Their cores are relatively stable and can steadily output heat!"

"The alchemy fire within the core of some powerful spirit beasts can even be directly absorbed by martial artists and transformed into the alchemist's own alchemy fire!"

"If the alchemist has his own alchemy fire, then he can adjust the temperature of the alchemy furnace as he wishes, and the success rate of alchemy can be doubled!"

"The Spirit Rejuvenating Fruit naturally likes warmth, so it's better to add it last. The Iron Mountain Grass is tough and full of iron fibers, so it needs to be calcined to bring out its effects. At the same time, you have to pay attention to the Blazing Lion's Monster Core, which contains the fire attribute, so you have to be careful not to be affected by the high temperature in the cauldron and destroy the medicinal properties of the Spirit Rejuvenating Fruit, so you have to add it …"

As Mu Yun controlled the Pill Fire, her other hand continued to add medicinal herbs and some supplementary herbs according to the required amount. She also explained to Miao Xianyu.

"Alright!"

After a long while, Mu Yun exhaled and said, "At the last moment, it's time to extinguish the fire. Extinguishing the fire is the most critical moment for the success or failure of the pill. The alchemist must not be distracted, so watch carefully later. If you have any questions, I'll explain it to you after it's over!"

After Mu Yun finished speaking, she stopped talking.

Miao Xianyu's jade-like hands gripped her dress tightly. Sweat dripped down her cheeks, and her breathing became rapid.

She really wanted to know what kind of pill Mu Yun could refine from the Meridians Coagulation Pill Formula that she had created.

At this moment, Mu Yun did not dare to be distracted.

Every step of the alchemist's alchemy was extremely important. If the fire extinguished at the last step was not done well, it would cause the alchemist to fail completely.

…

"Hehe, everyone, this is the Pill Formula of the Sacred Elixir Pavilion. The Pill Formula is the most important part of the Sacred Elixir Pavilion. Usually, many alchemists in the Sacred Elixir Pavilion refine pills here!"

Yu Zu led Shao Yu and the others to the Pill Room and introduced with a smile, "In the Sacred Elixir Pavilion of Beiyun City, there are a total of 11 Grade One Alchemists and four Grade Two Alchemists. It's enough to supply the daily needs of the Sacred Elixir Pavilion!"

"Mm!"

After hearing Yu Zu's introduction, Shao Yu nodded and said, "For an honorable alchemist, the Pill Formula must be quiet and not be disturbed by outsiders. This is a must!"

"Of course!"

Yu Zu nodded.

"Mm? Who is that? "

However, at this moment, Lan Yu suddenly spoke through the door of the Pill Refining Room. She was slightly stunned.

Hearing Lan Yu's doubts, Yu Zu also looked into the Pill Formula.

"Xiao Yu!"

When she saw the figure sitting upright in the Pill Refining Room, Lan Yu was stunned.

"Oh, it's like this. Xiao Yu is also a genuine Grade One Alchemist. She often comes to this Pill Formula to refine pills!" Yu Zu explained.

"Oh? Is that so? "

Lan Yu sneered and said, "Pavilion Master Yu, the person refining the pills is not Miao Xianyu!"

When Lan Yu said this, Yu Zu realized that Miao Xianyu was standing aside and looking at a young man refining pills in front of the Pill Furnace.

Who is that young man?

"Hmph, how can outsiders enter and leave the Pill Formula at will? What if some of the Pill Formulas of the Sacred Elixir Sect are leaked? "

Lan Yu's face turned cold and she kicked the door of the Pill Formula open.

With a bang, Miao Xianyu, who was looking at Mu Yun wholeheartedly, trembled.

Seeing that Mu Yun's body only trembled slightly and was not affected, Miao Xianyu stared unkindly at the few people who walked in.

"Uncle Yu, Mentor Mu Yun is refining pills. You should know that it's taboo for an Alchemist to be disturbed when refining pills!"

Miao Xianyu couldn't help complaining.

Miao Xianyu's pouting mouth, frowning and stomping her feet coquettishly were really stunning in the eyes of Shao Yu, Lan Yu and the rest. For a moment, they were all stunned.

Who would have thought that the dirty little beggar at the door would be so fresh and beautiful after washing up?

She was a complete beauty!

However, when he thought that such a beauty was actually speaking for the guy who hit him just now, Lan Yu's face suddenly changed.

"Refining pills? Haha … "

Lan Yu took a step forward and chuckled. "This trash can also refine pills? Then what kind of pills is he refining? "

"Watch your words!" Miao Xianyu said unhappily. "Mentor Mu is refining the Meridian Solidification Pill!"

"Meridian Solidification Pill? Haha … "

Looking at the medicinal herbs on the shelf, Lan Yu laughed and said, "Miss Xianyu, are you lying to me? Why would the Meridian Solidification Pill need the Spiritual Regeneration Fruit and Iron Mountain Grass? You won't be deceived by this guy with a human face but a beast's heart, right? "

"Miss Xianyu, the Meridian Solidification Pill must have one medicinal herb — the Lifegiving Fruit. Otherwise, it can't be refined. Your mentor Mu may be fooling you …"

At this moment, Shao Yu's eyes were fixed on Miao Xianyu's body and he said sincerely, "Moreover, the Meridian Solidification Pill is a second-grade pill. Mu Yun looks like she's only 18 or 19 years old. How can she be a second-grade alchemist!"

On the side, Yu Zu frowned when he heard Shao Yu and Lan Yu's change of address and attitude toward Miao Xianyu. Miao Qing stood aside and didn't say anything.

"You …"

Miao Xianyu said angrily, "If I don't tell you, you won't understand the magic of Mentor Mu!"

Seeing Miao Xianyu's cheeks puffed up in anger, Shao Yu's eyes lit up. He was excited like a hunter who had found an excellent prey.

"Humph, I think this guy is just deliberately mystifying. Let's see how he can continue to pretend after I break his pill fire!"

Lan Yu's face turned cold. His figure flashed and he rushed toward Mu Yun.

However, although he said that he would break the pill fire, his outstretched arm was aimed at Mu Yun's back. It was obvious that he was aiming at Mu Yun.

Obviously, he didn't just want to destroy Mu Yun's pill. He wanted Mu Yun to suffer the backlash of the pill fire!

"No!"

Miao Xianyu didn't expect Lan Yu to attack so shamelessly. She couldn't help but exclaim.

However, it was too late!

"Don't you know that when an alchemist is refining pills, he can't be disturbed?"

However, just as Lan Yu was about to get close to Mu Yun's back, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

With a swoosh, the last flame under the furnace was completely extinguished. Mu Yun's body, which was sitting cross-legged, suddenly leaned back. Her hands stretched out like claws and clamped Lan Yu's arm fiercely.

"I've tolerated you time and time again, but you're getting more and more insatiable!"

With a bang, Mu Yun clamped Lan Yu with both hands. Her hidden force surged and she threw Lan Yu in front of her. With a plop, dust flew up.

"I see that you like to use your hand to launch sneak attacks. Then, I'll break your arm and let you understand that there are some people you shouldn't provoke!"

With a cold voice, Mu Yun suddenly raised her arm!

Eight Desolates Life and Death Seal — Broken Seal!

Two seals extended from Mu Yun's palms and landed with a bang.

"No!"

With a pfft, fresh blood splattered. A miserable scream instantly sounded.

Ignoring the shout to stop her, Mu Yun struck with her palm!

Blood flowed all over the ground. Lan Yu's face was pale as he stared at Mu Yun in horror.

Monster!

This guy was a monster!

"Mu Yun, how dare you!"

Seeing Lan Yu lying on the ground with an ashen face, Shao Yu took a step forward and shouted.

He had seen Lan Yu's previous actions, but he didn't stop him because he also wanted to embarrass Mu Yun.

It wasn't difficult for him to see that Miao Xianyu, a great beauty, had good feelings for Mentor Mu.

And the moment he saw Miao Xianyu, his heart was already moved!

Therefore, if Lan Yu could destroy Mu Yun's alchemy and even cause Mu Yun to suffer a backlash and become a cripple, it would be very good for him!

However, he didn't expect that Mu Yun would be able to extinguish the alchemy fire at the critical moment and succeed in alchemy. Instead, she cut off one of Lan Yu's arms at lightning speed.

"Why wouldn't I dare?"

Mu Yun stared coldly at Shao Yu and shouted.

As an alchemist, the most taboo thing was to be disturbed during alchemy.

If he hadn't extinguished the alchemy fire an instant before Lan Yu attacked, he would have been seriously injured and his meridians would have been crippled, regardless of whether it was Lan Yu's sneak attack or the backlash of the alchemy fire.

Lan Yu clearly knew this, but he still attacked. He was simply courting death!

"Good, good, you're very good. How dare you attack my Sacred Pill Sect's disciple. Mu Yun, you deserve to die!" Shao Yu didn't want to lose face in front of Miao Xianyu and shouted with a flushed face.
