112: Chapter 112 Could it really be him?

Inside the Pill Furnace, the medicinal fragrance grew stronger, and the flames churned.

Ye Changge collected his focus, suppressing the complex emotions from just a moment ago, and concentrated on the Pill Furnace before him.

His technique shifted, and his spiritual energy probed into the Pill Furnace like threads, guiding the medicinal liquid to slowly condense.

"Condense!"

He let out a low shout. A slight humming sound came from the Pill Furnace. Immediately after, three Medicinal Pills the size of Dragon eyes, entirely emerald green with faint cloud patterns appearing on their surfaces, slowly rose from the furnace and fell into the jade bottle he had prepared in advance.

The entire process flowed like clouds and water, completed in one go.

Xiao Yurou watched from the side, unable to take her eyes off it. Only when those three Medicinal Pills fell into the jade bottle did she let out a long sigh of relief, her eyes filled with surprise and admiration:

"Senior is truly amazing! This 'Qingyang Gubendan' is of a High Grade. Junior has looked for several Alchemists before, and they all said the success rate was not high. I did not expect Senior to refine three of them in one go!"

She carefully received the jade bottle from Ye Changge's hands, holding it in her palm as if it were a rare treasure, her eyes slightly reddening:

"With this Medicinal Pill, Sister's pain will surely be relieved... Senior's great kindness, Junior truly does not know how to repay it..."

Ye Changge waved his hand, his tone gentle:

"A mere trifle, do not take it to heart. Your sister's illness cannot be delayed, hurry and send it to her."

Xiao Yurou nodded vigorously, carefully placed the jade bottle into her Storage Pouch, and turned to leave.

Just as she reached the door, she suddenly stopped, turned her head back, and gave a deep bow to Ye Changge:

"Senior, Junior will go send the Medicinal Pill to Sister right now! Once Sister recovers, Junior will come back to thank you properly!"

After saying this, she pushed the door open and left. Her steps were light, and she almost ran all the way out of the Pill Workshop.

Ye Changge watched that hurriedly disappearing figure, and the corner of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, it turned into a helpless sigh.

"Forget it..."

He shook his head and turned back to the Pill Furnace.

This matter... let's talk about it later. For now, it is better to focus on preparing for the refining of the longevity pill.

And the Cultivate of the Longevity Nurturing Spirit Art also requires preparing suitable spiritual plants...

There is one thing after another, truly quite a lot.

Ye Changge rubbed his brow.

"Let's refine this first."

He regained his focus, began to carefully study the Pill Formula, and prepared the medicinal materials.

...

Meanwhile, Xiao Yurou ran all the way, crossed several streets, and arrived in front of the Heavenly Palace Formation shop.

She pushed the door open, waved her hand at the clerk who came up to greet her, and then hurried upstairs while lifting her skirt.

"Sister!"

Her voice arrived before she did, her tone filled with irrepressible excitement.

Inside the private room on the second floor, Xiao Caiyue was sitting upright by the window, holding an ancient book in her hand, her demeanor dignified and tranquil.

Only if one looked carefully could one notice that her gaze was not on the pages of the book, but was slightly distracted, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Hearing her sister's voice, she put down the book and lifted her eyelids.

Xiao Yurou pushed the door open and entered, panting, but her face was full of joy:

"Sister! The Medicinal Pill is refined! You must try it quickly!"

Xiao Caiyue looked at her sister's hurried appearance, and a wave of warmth rose in her heart.

In these years, if not for her sister running around, seeking medical advice and medicine, she probably would not have been able to hold on.

She smiled gently, her tone soft:

"Slow down, no rush."

Xiao Yurou walked quickly to her, took out that jade bottle from her Storage Pouch, and carefully handed it over:

"Sister, this is the 'Qingyang Gubendan' personally refined by that Alchemist Great Master today. I watched him refine it with my own eyes; his technique was extremely skillful, and he succeeded in refining three at once! You must try it quickly, perhaps this time it will really be effective!"

Xiao Caiyue took the jade bottle, pulled out the stopper, and a refreshing medicinal fragrance rushed toward her.

She sniffed it gently, and her gaze shifted slightly.

The quality of this Medicinal Pill... was indeed extremely good.

The medicinal power was gentle and mellow, far stronger than any of the Medicinal Pills she had taken before.

She poured one out and held it in her palm to examine it closely.

The emerald green pill had faint cloud patterns on its surface, and its spiritual light was restrained; it was clearly of High Grade quality.

Xiao Caiyue was about to take it when she suddenly remembered something, and her movements paused slightly.

Today, in the jade slip that Ye Changge gave her, she had seen records regarding this type of Medicinal Pill.

That jade slip not only contained several Secret Arts but also included a few Pill Formulas, among which was this 'Qingyang Gubendan'.

Beside the Pill Formula, Ye Changge had also specifically made annotations, detailing the control of heat during refining, the key to harmonizing the medicinal properties, as well as the precautions after taking it.

The Medicinal Pill in her hand at this moment, whether it was the quality, the medicinal fragrance, or those faint cloud patterns, were exactly the same as the High Grade quality described in Ye Changge's jade slip.

Xiao Caiyue's heartbeat suddenly missed a beat.

She lifted her eyes, looked at Xiao Yurou, and kept her tone as calm as possible:

"Sister, that Alchemist Great Master you mentioned... what kind of person is he?"

Xiao Yurou did not suspect anything and answered truthfully:

"He is a young Senior, looking to be in his early twenties. But he is a very good person, his temper is gentle, he is extremely focused when refining pills, and his grasp of medicinal materials is extremely accurate. One can tell at a glance that he is an expert!"

Young, ordinary appearance, gentle temper, Alchemy expert...

Xiao Caiyue's fingers tightened slightly around the jade bottle.

She remembered today in the Formation...

The absurd thought in her heart surged up again.

Could it be... such a coincidence?

"Sister." Xiao Caiyue suddenly spoke, her voice still gentle, but carrying a trace of unquestionable firmness,

"This Medicinal Pill, for me, although it has a relieving effect, it may not necessarily cure the root cause. Since that Great Master's Alchemy skills are so superb, why don't... you take me to see him?"

Xiao Yurou was slightly stunned when she heard this.

Before, she had often suggested taking her sister to visit those Alchemists, but her sister was always reluctant, saying that in her current state, she did not want to see outsiders.

She had to settle for the next best thing, seeking medicine herself and bringing it back for her sister to take.

Why did her sister suddenly want to go today?

But she didn't think too much about it, only assuming that her sister saw the high quality of this Medicinal Pill and finally developed some confidence in that Alchemist.

She nodded vigorously, a joyful smile appearing on her face:

"Okay! Sister, that Senior is really a very good person, and his Alchemy technique is very amazing! Perhaps if he sees you himself, he can think of a better way!"

Xiao Caiyue smiled slightly and did not deny it.

She stood up and smoothed her skirt.

After parting with Ye Changge earlier, she had changed out of that wrinkled water-blue palace dress. Now she was wearing a moon-white long dress, the hem embroidered with faint cloud patterns, a light cyan silk ribbon tied at her waist, making her figure appear even more slender and beautiful. Her long hair was simply coiled at the back of her head, secured with a white jade hairpin, and a few strands of dark hair hung by her cheeks, adding a bit of gentleness and casualness rarely seen on weekdays.

"Let's go." She said softly.
