: Pill Tribulation
"Then when do you plan to fuse with him?" She asked.
"No rush, the conditions aren't ripe yet." Mo Sha said.
"Conditions? What conditions?"
Could it be that he still had to wait for the right time and conditions to fuse with him?
Mo Sha understood what she was thinking in her heart and said, "He's not able to do it right now. Neither are you."
"I'm not?" Sima You Yue glared. Why were his words so ambiguous! It was a good thing she wasn't a guy, or else she would be deathly depressed.
"You are not strong enough. If you forcefully broke off the contract with me, you would be crippled even if you didn't die." Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue gaped. It was that dangerous? Thinking about how he said that Wu Lingyu wasn't able to either, she asked, "Then what about Senior Brother? Why can't he?"
"His strength has grown too quickly, and is has been very draining on his very weak soul. If I were to fuse with him how, he would directly turn to dust and I would face a similar end since I would be unable to complete my soul." Mo Sha said.
Sima You Yue was silent. They had already found the person, but they could not fuse.
"Then what do we do now?" She asked.
"Increase your strength. Help him nourish his soul." Mo Sha said.
"You want me to nourish his soul?" Sima You Yue was displeased, "Although that guy is my fellow disciple, he is still very hateful. What if I don't want to?"
"You don't have a choice." Mo Sha said.
"Really Life is full of suffering and torment!" Sima You Yue lamented, "If I let Master and Senior Brother know about you, I wonder how they would be! Should I tell them?"
"What do you think?" Mo Sha returned the question, but his tone was rather certain.
"Sigh, seeing how smart the two of them are, Senior Brother would be able to infer just be me giving him the soul fluid. I might as well be honest." Sima You Yue messed up her hair and looked completely put out.
This Wu Lingyu was someone who had messed with her before, but she actually had to save him. In the past, she was also his protector, and thinking about it would just drive her crazy.
"Sigh" She let out a long sigh, but the frustration in her heart could not be let out.
When she heard Old Man Devil's voice from belong the mountain, she knew he had come back. She stood up and went down the mountain.
"You Yue, where did you go?" Bei Gong Tang asked when she saw that Sima You Yue had come back.
"I went to the mountain peak for some fresh air." Sima You Yue shook her head to show she was fine when she saw the look of concern in Bei Gong Tang's eyes.
When she saw Old Man Devil, she secretly sighed again. If he knew that two of his disciples had relations to the Devil Clan, what would his reaction be.
"Since you're back, we can begin." Old Man Devil took out an ancient furnace and started smelting there halfway up the mountain.
Sima You Yue focused all their attention unwaveringly on Old Man Devil as he refined the pill. This was the first time they had seen a ninth ranked alchemist refining pills and could learn quite a bit.
A hundred different kinds of ingredients were needed to refine the three yuan pill, and they all had to do with the soul. It was, overall, more difficult to refine this than other pills.
However, Old Man Devil's every action was intentional. He threw in each ingredient as if they were free, and did not care whether or not it would not get refined properly. Furthermore, after he purified one ingredient, he wrapped it up in spiritual power and didn't take it out to purify anymore.
It was now time to fuse the liquid essence using spirit power, but it would weaken the potency of the medicine. As such, one could only bundle it up and not fuse it. That was why it appeared more simple, but was actually more taxing on the alchemist.
"One can even do this!" Sima You Yue touched her chin and learnt this degree of his control.
After Old Man Devil had finished fusing the ingredients, he began to bind them. This process was slow, and he was only done after three to four hours.
After that was the stage of congealing it into powder, and Old Man Devil became casual again. However, his each and every action held many small complex parts. One burst of spirit power would follow every action, and it was emptied into the ancient furnace. It looked chaotic to the eyes of these two and they could not clearly see much of what he did.
