120: Immortal-level alchemy knowledge and techniques!

In the small courtyard where the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Sect was staying in Fentian City, the atmosphere was somewhat somber.

Li Miaoer lay prone on a stone table, her chin resting on the back of her hands. Her tail drooped listlessly as she occasionally poked at the spiritual fruit in front of her.

“It's already been three days... Why is there still no news from Junior Martial Brother? What exactly is the situation under that volcano? He couldn't have really been roasted through, right?”

Liu Yunshu sat to the side. Although she held a volume of a Pill Scripture in her hand, she hadn't turned a single page for a long time.

Her elegant brows were slightly furrowed, and her eyes held an irrepressible worry, yet her tone remained relatively calm:

“Lu Yu's life mark is very stable, even... more active and vigorous than before. He should be fine. Elder Su hasn't sent any warning either. Lu Yu must have encountered some Opportunity down there and needs time.”

She said this, but the thought of Lu Yu jumping into a sea of lava capable of melting Soul Transformation Cultivators made the time seem far too long, even with the Phoenix True Flame protecting him.

The hearts of both women felt as if they were being scratched by a cat's claws.

“Opportunity, Opportunity... what kind of Opportunity requires staying under lava for several days!”

Li Miaoer pouted. Suddenly, something occurred to her, and her cat ears twitched. She lowered her voice, looking mysterious.

“Sister Yun Shu, do you think... Junior Martial Brother might have met some... um... fire spirits or fire mermaids down there? That's how it's written in storybooks—falling into a dangerous place always leads to a romantic encounter!”

Lin Xiaoyou didn't know whether to laugh or cry at her wild imagination and said speechlessly:

“Fifth Senior Sister, don't talk nonsense.”

Yet her cheeks inexplicably felt a bit hot. Given her understanding of her Junior Martial Brother Lu Yu... it didn't seem entirely impossible?

While the two were letting their imaginations run wild and sitting restlessly, what they didn't know was that at this moment, beneath the lava sea, within that space of cyan-blue flames...

A romantic encounter... no, it was the two survivors who had just slowly woken up from a grueling detoxification Cultivation that had lasted for several days.

Beneath the lava, upon the lotus platform of cyan-blue flames.

Lu Yu felt as if he had had a very long, very tiring, yet inexplicably... hearty and satisfying dream.

In the dream, flames were interwoven, a world of ice and fire, and there was a slippery, very powerful... tail?

Then, he felt the warmth and softness in his arms.

Lu Yu slowly woke up. He opened his eyes, and the first thing that came into view was the lotus platform dome formed by cyan-blue flames. The pure flames flowed slowly, beautiful beyond belief.

For the past three days, it felt like he had been used as a punching bag by an ancient Vicious Beast for three days and nights; every joint in his body felt sore and weak. But strangely, his Dantian Qi Sea was surging with terrifying fullness, and the spiritual energy flowing through his Meridians was thick and pure, a whole level stronger than before he lost consciousness!

He subconsciously performed internal inspection.

Good heavens! Ninth level of the Nascent Soul!

His Foundation was as solid as if it had been hammered by an Ancient Divine Mountain!

This time, by detoxifying Yan Lingluo and successfully refining the Pure Lotus Heavenly Clear Fire, his Cultivation had successfully broken through to the ninth level of the Nascent Soul!

He was only one step away from Perfection!

【Ding! Detected that the host has successfully subdued the Daughter of Destiny, the Yan Lingluo, Yan Lingluo.】

【Reward for the protagonist: Immortal Rank Alchemy knowledge, Immortal Rank Alchemy techniques!】

【Note: Due to the host's current Cultivation, even with Immortal Rank Alchemy skills and techniques, your Alchemy will be restricted. Upon evaluation, the host's current comprehensive Alchemy level is: Grade Six!】

The System's notification was late, but it filled Lu Yu's heart with wild joy!

A Grade Six Alchemist!

Grade Six, that was the Alchemy Realm corresponding to a Void Return Stage Cultivator!

He had suddenly gone from an Alchemy novice to a Great Master of Alchemy?!

Immediately following this, a massive amount of profound Alchemy knowledge naturally surfaced, as if it had long been engraved in the depths of his Soul!

Millions of combinations of medicinal properties and characteristics, microsecond-level precision in heat control, the Law trajectories for condensing pill pattern, and even many unheard-of Immortal Pill Pill Formulas... This knowledge was as vast as a sea of stars and of terrifyingly high quality, definitely not something that should exist in the Lower Realm!

Accompanying this were memories of countless hand-feelings, experiences, and techniques for Alchemy, as if he had already personally refined countless Immortal Pills.

Immortal Rank! Everything was Immortal Rank!

Although he couldn't use all of it now, this was a complete map and operating manual leading to the Peak of the Dao of Alchemy!

Combined with the three top-tier flames he now possessed—Haoyang True Fire, Phoenix True Flame, and Pure Lotus Heavenly Clear Fire... it would be hard for his Alchemy not to be incredible!

Grade Six was definitely at the top among the younger generation in this Lower Realm!

Although the Medicinal Pills he could refine only reached Grade Six, the countless Alchemy knowledge and techniques in his mind were fully present!

It was no exaggeration to say he was now the person with the most complete knowledge of Alchemy in the Cloud Heaven Realm!

He was happily taking stock of his gains when something suddenly moved in his arms.

He subconsciously looked down and met a pair of vertical pupils close at hand, as magnificent as rubies, yet carrying the daze of having just woken up and a hint of instinctive vigilance.

Yan Lingluo had also woken up.

Their eyes met, and for a moment, the air seemed to freeze.

Then, memories flooded back into their minds like a tide: the dying Queen, the extracted Immortal Fire, the mixed fire poison, the uncontrolled desire, the entangled bodies, the long and intense detoxification process... Yan Lingluo's beautiful vertical pupils changed at a visible speed from dazed to clear, from clear to astonished, and finally, were completely ignited by a wave of towering rage and shame!

“You—!!!”

A cold shout rang out, mixed with shock, fury, and an imperceptible hint of... panic.

Almost instinctively, Yan Lingluo used all her recovered strength to violently push Lu Yu, who was still half-dazed, off of her!

Caught off guard, Lu Yu almost rolled off the lotus platform, but fortunately, his reactions were quick, and he caught the edge of the platform with one hand.

With this movement, he realized that both he and the other party were... quite exposed, wearing nothing at all.

Combined with the touch and memories from just now, even with his thick skin, his face couldn't help but flush red, especially when he looked at Yan Lingluo's figure!

It had to be said that Yan Lingluo's figure was the most attractive and hottest among all the women Lu Yu had ever seen!

He subconsciously swallowed his saliva again, and then a threat of death surged in his heart, making him instantly alert!

“That... Queen Majesty, let me explain...”

Lu Yu hurried to sit up, frantically trying to pull some clothes out of his storage ring to cover himself while attempting to organize his words.

However, Yan Lingluo gave him no chance to explain.

She propped up her upper body, her fiery red long hair falling messily over her smooth shoulders and proud chest. Far from diminishing her majesty, the reflection of the surrounding cyan-blue flames added a breathtaking, angry, wild beauty to her.

That thick and powerful fiery red snake tail tightened due to anger, its scales slightly standing on end.

“Explain? What is there to explain!”
