75: Alchemy, Water and Fire Inner Alchemy

Time flowed on.

Waves gently rippled.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well welcomed a new look.

The bare rock surface was covered with a layer of new soil, like plowing for spring crops, the ground was renovated.

Looking out, small pits were arranged in a staggered pattern, some containing medicinal herbs left by Su Ye, others irrigated with cultivation fluid, but most were newly planted high-quality medicinal seedlings.

Zhu Zhuqing was preparing to try the path of alchemy, and Su Ye supported this.

He didn't want his woman to be just a vase, only able to rely on him to live.

Su Ye had also discussed this with Zhu Zhuqing; he had a way for her to quickly become stronger, but Zhu Zhuqing refused.

"I know you're talking about cultivation techniques."

"But even with cultivation techniques, no matter how hard I cultivate, it's impossible for me to catch up to your pace in this lifetime. It's enough to have you walking ahead."

The young girl leaned beside him, her face full of tenderness and affection, the wind rustling her hair, revealing a bright smiling face.

In her pair of sparkling eyes, there was admiration, as well as self-reconciliation and eager longing.

"But the path of elixirs is different; the entire continent is in the enlightenment and exploration stage."

"The opportunity in this space is the greatest for me. You also need elixirs for cultivation. Maybe one day you'll even have to ask me for them."

"This World doesn't lack a Agile Soul Master, but it lacks a Grandmaster of Alchemy."

"Perhaps ten thousand years from now, my name will definitely not be below yours!"

Those arrogant words, and that determined gaze, were vivid in Su Ye's memory and deeply moved him.

Such a goal-oriented girl exuded a rational charm that made people look at her... well, want to hammer her.

Little Cat was getting bold, actually wanting to rank her name ahead of his, and even wanting to suppress him? Su Ye naturally couldn't tolerate it, feeling it was necessary to reassert his authority as a husband. Hmm, fatten her up first before hammering.

Cough, less idle talk.

For alchemy, the supply of medicinal herbs is essential. Although they can be purchased from the market, growing them oneself is the fundamental base.

Therefore, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was "occupied" by Zhu Zhuqing as a cultivation base.

At the same time.

Heavenly Dou City, Du Gu Family.

Under the scorching sun, the sounds of metal cutting and collision, "clang clang," rose and fell. Burly men were handling large amounts of metal materials, orderly constructing something.

"This time the employer is Dugu Bo. You don't need me to tell you who he is. Keep your little schemes of slacking off and cutting corners to yourselves!"

"You! Yes, yes! You, are you a pig's brain? Do I still need to teach you such a simple splicing technique?!"

"Damn it, move faster. Whoever dares to break our rice bowl, I'll make sure they starve for a month without eating or shitting, understood?"

"..."

A tall, burly man, with a rough voice like a broken loudspeaker blaring, was supervising the construction.

The burly man had his upper body bare, his face was ruddy like a date, and he had a head of steel-needle-like graying short hair.

Although he was not young, his complexion was very rosy, and the Spirit in his eyes was even stronger than that of young people. The rough words from his mouth never stopped.

Noticing the two girls approaching, the burly man frowned and quickly went to greet them.

"Miss Zhu, do you think the progress and result are acceptable?"

After all, facing the employer's side, even a Soul Douluo like Niu Gao didn't dare to be disrespectful. His face showed polite amiability, and his speech became restrained.

The Strength Clan relied on construction for survival, and was already suppressed by the Spirit Hall. There weren't many people who dared to hire them at a high price...

Now that they finally received this big order from Dugu Bo, maintaining their basic reputation was naturally extremely important.

After a brief look, the black-clothed girl's eyes showed no emotional fluctuations, as cold as autumn frost.

"The sooner the better. Money is not a problem."

Niu Gao was also used to this cold personality. "Um, do you think... is there anything that needs improvement?"

Hearing this, the girl shook her head. "We are outsiders. My husband instructed that professional matters should be left to professional people. You can decide for yourselves."

Her face slightly dimmed, she absentmindedly pointed out a couple of overlooked layout details and then left, leaving Niu Gao somewhat stunned.

"They won't demand a major rework when it's finished, will they?"

Niu Gao's palms were sweating. Thinking of Dugu Bo's personality, he felt it was increasingly possible. It seemed this money earned was a bit hot to handle.

Thinking this, he gritted his teeth and resolutely charged towards the construction team, preparing to improve the quality further.

The Bi Lin Serpent Martial Soul is highly poisonous, and everyone else keeps their distance. Dugu Bo also doesn't like to interact with people, which resulted in a one-kilometer radius around the main building of the Du Gu Family being wasteland.

Heavenly Dou City is the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire, and its prosperity goes without saying. To possess so much wasteland in Heavenly Dou City, where land is as precious as gold, his Du Gu Family could be counted on one's fingers.

After learning about this, Su Ye had already informed Dugu Bo in advance, requesting to use the land to build a proper alchemy place for Zhu Zhuqing.

Few people, secluded, Dugu Bo's place was indeed a good cover.

Everything outside was proceeding orderly, according to expectations, which Su Ye naturally didn't know.

At this moment, he was cultivating the Yin-Yang Limitless Skill, and it had reached a critical point.

At the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, at the junction of the Yin and Yang springs.

Bang—!

Bang—!

Intense red and white light transformed into tornadoes, colliding violently, then bouncing off each other. The young man's small body was almost submerged by these two beams of light, ineffably painful.

But this body was like a bottomless pit, continuously absorbing these two masses of energy, and constantly colliding and refining them. The sound of electric arcs "sizzling" from the collision of the two energies could be heard.

Vast energy was being consumed out of thin air all the time. Su Ye firmly guarded his mind, focusing on nothing outside, completely unconcerned, operating the Yin-Yang Limitless Skill with all his might to press the remaining energy into his dantian.

In other places, condensing an inner core would be incredibly difficult. The Yin-Yang Limitless Skill also consolidates inner cores by compressing the liquid energy within the body.

To condense a core through normal cultivation, Su Ye would need at least Soul Sage level liquid soul power reserves.

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well has vast energy, which can completely support Su Ye's core condensation.

This place is simply a treasure!!

The only drawback is that this method of collision consumes too much external energy.

There was nothing else he could do. When Su Ye's Yin-Yang Limitless Skill reached minor completion, some liquid soul power was born, but the area was only the size of a small puddle. The quantity was insufficient, and the compression and transformation process was very difficult and slow.

The collision of the immense energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, on the contrary, provided Su Ye with a "core condensation" pressure medium, accelerating the core condensation process.

He saw that in his abdomen, two smooth beads were slowly growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, irrigated separately by the water and fire energies.

One white and one red, reflecting each other.

...

Another month passed.

Boom!

In the calm atmosphere, a glass-like colorful light suddenly broke through the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The Golden Phoenix spread its wings and descended towards the ground. Its wings were no longer golden at this moment, but presented a gradient color; one end was deathly white, chillingly cold, and the other end was fiery red, stirring up flames.

As soon as it landed, as its wings approached, the solid ground immediately froze and melted into lava.

"Finally, I'm out!!"
