5: Chapter 5: The Crimson Flame Rejuvenating Pill is a success!!!

Su Fan did not expect that with a casual palm strike, the Senior helped him open up all his Meridians and complete Foundation Establishment.

His speed to Cultivate had always been very slow; it took three years just to reach Qi Refining Stage 3. At this rate, without ten years, there was absolutely no possibility of completing Foundation Establishment!

He did not expect that in this cave, with the Senior's help, he would complete Foundation Establishment in just ten days!

"Senior, your kindness is something I will never forget. May I ask for your honorable name... So that I may keep it in my heart, and in the future, even if I have to work like an ox or horse, or repay you with my life, I will repay your kindness!"

Su Fan said this with a sincere expression. Although it was all flattery, he was also truly grateful in his heart.

Hearing the thanks from the youth before her, Ji Yao merely snorted coldly. As the Imperial Princess of the Nine-Winged Golden Phoenix Clan, and The Demoness in the eyes of human Cultivators, she disdained the gratitude of a human youth. However, for the sake of a moment of peace and not wanting to hear his noise, she still revealed her true name.

"Ji Yao."

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Ji. I, Su Fan, will keep it in my heart and never forget it."

Su Fan bowed respectfully again.

"Brat... don't think that just because you are polite, I won't kill you. If you cannot refine the Medicinal Pill I want within twenty days, I will kill you first, then destroy the Jianren Sect, and then turn this Liuyun Kingdom upside down!!!"

Ji Yao said coldly.

Hmph, who told the people of this Liuyun Kingdom to be blind.

She only killed a few hundred ants who coveted her body and her Cultivation Technique and Magic Treasure, yet they all condemned her as The Demoness in unison...

Hmph, this group of blind people all deserve to die!!

When he saw the cold killing intent flash through Ji Yao's eyes, Su Fan felt a chill on his neck and shuddered in fear.

After bowing, he didn't dare say anything more.

He hurriedly went to practice Alchemy.

As for the questions in his heart, such as why she had to hide in this cave, why she didn't just kidnap a stronger Alchemist to refine pills for her, or why she didn't just go to the Medicinal Pill market to buy them, or why she only gave him a one-month deadline... all of these things had to be suppressed; he didn't dare ask a single word.

... Alchemy began.

[Day 1, you failed to refine the Hui Chun Powder]

[You looked at the dry, poop-like solid-liquid mixture in the golden spirit furnace and fell into a state of immense speechlessness...]

[And she just glanced at it indifferently, not saying anything.]

[Day 2, you failed to refine the Hui Chun Powder again.]

[She still didn't say anything, her expression the same as yesterday.]

[Day 3, you still failed.]

[She frowned slightly.]

[Day 4, you failed once again.]

[She sighed softly.]

[Day 5, you failed again and again and again.]

[She said: "If you fail again tomorrow, I will beat you up!"]

[Day 6, you failed without any surprise!]

[A slap landed on your face, and you flew out of the cave. Just as you were about to fall off the cliff, she flicked her long sleeve and pulled you back...]

[Day 7, although you had yesterday's lesson, you still failed.]

[But she didn't hit you again. Knowing that this was due to a lack of Mental Energy leading to the failure, she really wanted to hit you, but in the end, she didn't. She just stared at you quietly, making you feel creeped out...]

[Day 8, looking at the only three remaining portions of raw Materials for the Hui Chun Powder, you chanted "Amitabha" and then braced yourself to start refining... Unexpectedly, you actually succeeded!]

[Looking at the Hui Chun Powder you successfully refined, a smile appeared on her face for the first time.]

[On Day 9 and Day 10, you successfully refined two more portions of Hui Chun Powder.]

... Alchemy continued.

For the remaining ten days, Su Fan needed to refine the Grade 4 Medicinal Pill, the chi yan rejuvenation pill.

Ji Yao had prepared many raw Materials for him, among which the Ice-Yang Tianshan Snow Lotus was the most precious, and there were as many as twenty portions. However, he only had three portions of Hui Chun Powder in his hands, which meant that even though there were many other raw Materials, he actually only had three chances...

During the first refinement, Su Fan was very careful and cautious, but he still failed.

Ji Yao watched quietly and didn't say anything.

For the second refinement, Su Fan took a deep breath. Ji Yao stared intently at the golden medicine furnace, encouraging him as if cheering him on: "Concentrate your Mental Energy, take it slow, ensure every step is done correctly, and absolutely do not rush..."

Su Fan's hands trembled slightly. After several deep breaths, his heart finally calmed down, and he concentrated all his Mental Energy into the golden medicine furnace...

Fifteen hours later, the golden medicine furnace began to shake...

When the lid of the medicine furnace was opened, looking at the solid mixture inside, Su Fan's hands trembled uncontrollably.

Sigh, he had actually failed again!

Ji Yao's eyes turned cold again, staring fixedly at Su Fan.

She stared at him for a full five seconds without saying a word.

However, Su Fan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, walking on thin ice, facing an abyss.

After a while, Su Fan finally couldn't help but speak first: "Senior... if I can't refine the chi yan rejuvenation pill, will you really kill me?"

Ji Yao didn't speak, but from her eyes, Su Fan received an affirmative answer.

"Death is inevitable for everyone; it may be lighter than a feather or heavier than Mount Tai... Senior, I hope you can give me a quick end, and please do not torture me..."

After saying this, Su Fan immediately proceeded to his third attempt.

Of course, this was also the last attempt.

Who knew, at this moment, Ji Yao parted her red lips and said: "There are still three days left; you might as well rest for a day before trying again."

"No, whether I die early or late, it's still death. I'll just go for it!"

Su Fan said, giving up all caution while taking out the raw Materials.

For the first time, Ji Yao stared at the youth before her with a serious expression, her gaze flickering slightly: "Are you not afraid of death?"

"I am, but..."

"But what?"

"I have no attachments in this world. If I die, I die. Perhaps in the next world, I will live in comfort..."

Of course, Su Fan was not afraid of dying in the simulation; he was just afraid of being tortured. After all, physical sensations like pain and cold were real...

Hearing his words, Ji Yao's expression shifted slightly, then she returned to her cold demeanor and said: "For such a young age, you have some insight, but... if you cannot refine the chi yan rejuvenation pill, I still cannot spare you!"

"Thank you for your guidance over these days, Senior. I am beginning the Alchemy."

After speaking, Su Fan began his final attempt...

One hour passed...

Two hours passed...

Five hours passed...

Ten hours passed...

Fifteen hours passed...

By the sixteenth hour, Su Fan was covered in sweat.

Ji Yao's eyes flickered, as if hesitating about something. Finally, she bit her lip and took out a purple-gold silk handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his face...

The seventeenth hour.

Suddenly, a burst of golden light erupted from the golden medicine furnace, and the lid flew off with a bang!

The chi yan rejuvenation pill, it is finished!!!
