247: Xuan Hongxue

Seeing Senior Guo step forward to speak on his behalf, Lu Hao, while unconcerned himself, still offered him a smile.

Following this, Lu Hao continued walking toward the center of the Formation. A moment later, he reached out and gently pinched that Medicinal Pill.

This Medicinal Pill was snow-white throughout, surrounded by unimaginable Origin Qi, and it carried an intensely heavy Aura!

Lu Hao took a slight sniff, and a fragrant scent of the Medicinal Pill assailed his nostrils, surprisingly giving him a feeling of refreshment.

However, upon closer inspection, Lu Hao discovered that the Medicinal Pill was incomplete. The final step of pill Formation had not been finished; although the Medicinal Pill looked intact on the outside, it was full of cracks on the inside!

It had been able to exist for so long truly because the many Formations provided it with a continuous supply of Origin Qi; otherwise, it would have long ago turned into a pile of powder under the erosion of time.

Furthermore, under Lu Hao's meticulous observation, he discovered that it seemed as if someone was actively using the Formation to maintain the Medicinal Pill so it would not be damaged!

The moment Lu Hao pinched the Medicinal Pill, the hearts of countless people began to race.

They did not care at all why Lu Hao could ignore the one hundred thousand layers of Formation Restrictions to obtain the Medicinal Pill, simply assuming he possessed some secret technique.

However, they were exceptionally concerned about what Lu Hao intended to do next!

Lu Hao observed the Medicinal Pill briefly. With his current attainments in the Dao of Alchemy, repairing the final step for this Medicinal Pill was clearly something he could do with ease.

He placed the Po Ling Tian Yuan Pill in front of him, his hands beginning to circulate his own Origin Qi to refine this Medicinal Pill once more.

"What?! He... he actually wants to re-refine this Medicinal Pill!"

"Why?! Could it be that it really is a semi-finished product?!"

"Does this person really have such strength to single-handedly repair a Nine-Rank Pill?! If it is true, I fear this person is only one step away from becoming a true supreme Great Grandmaster."

...

Dan Ding stared blankly at Lu Hao's movements. As he re-refined it, he saw it!

He saw that Medicinal Pill—it really was a semi-finished product! This meant that his master had been lying to him!

Why? Why did Master lie to me?

Dan Ding could not understand it no matter how hard he thought, but very soon, he would know the final answer!

Just as Lu Hao began the Alchemy, suddenly, a voice so exasperated it was heart-wrenching came from the distance.

"No!!! Lu Hao! You put down that Medicinal Pill for me!!!"

"That is my Medicinal Pill, do not touch it!!!"

Everyone turned their heads to look, only to see a figure wearing a blood-red long dress, carrying an incomparably dense and bloody intent to kill, rushing over from the distance with lightning speed!

It was a female cultivator, whose beauty and ethereal temperament directly stunned everyone around!

Her snow-white hair, long to her waist, scattered messily around her as she rushed forward.

Her face was even fairer than snow, as if meticulously carved by the heavens.

And those beautiful eyes of hers were like stars, captivating the soul, yet also like clear springs—limpid and moving, gentle as water.

It seemed that just a gentle glance was enough to make one sink into them, unable to extricate oneself.

But at this moment, within those beautiful eyes, there was an icy chill to the extreme! A boundless cold intent aimed at Lu Hao!

Moreover, at the same time, an extremely powerful Aura radiated from her entire being!

This Aura was so strong that it directly surpassed that of Guo Yongsi, who was at the Void Realm!

This woman was actually at the Half-Step Yang Solid Realm!

When the surrounding people saw another powerhouse they had never heard of appear, their hearts were already shrouded in layers of fog!

There were actually so many unknown powerhouses in this Danling State; it turned out that what they had always understood was merely the surface of things...

The moment Guo Yongsi heard this voice, his eyes instantly turned incomparably scarlet!

This was a voice he would never forget for all eternity!

Xuan Hongxue!

The person who had schemed against twenty-two Alchemy Great Grandmasters!

She actually didn't die! She actually lived until now! My Senior Brothers are all dead, why are you still alive!

Thinking of this, Guo Yongsi could no longer maintain his reason. With red eyes, and not caring that he was only in the state of a remnant soul, he erupted with all his cultivation and charged toward Xuan Hongxue!

As he charged, Guo Yongsi shouted hoarsely:

"Xuan Hongxue! Xuan Hongxue! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!!! Xuan Hongxue!!!"

Xuan Hongxue clearly had no mind for Guo Yongsi at this moment. Facing his all-out strike, Xuan Hongxue did not even glance at him.

She slowly extended a hand and slapped him away with a single palm.

Guo Yongsi's entire body was instantly struck as if by lightning; a large mouthful of blood gushed out, and he flew backward directly for ten thousand miles!

However, very quickly, Guo Yongsi once again recklessly charged toward Xuan Hongxue again.

Lu Hao, who was practicing Alchemy inside, saw this situation and was immediately anxious!

He shouted loudly:

"Senior Guo! Calm down, you cannot beat her, do not make a move!"

But how could Guo Yongsi listen to Lu Hao's words at this moment? It was as if he had not heard them at all, charging straight toward Xuan Hongxue!

In his scarlet eyes, a will to die had even emerged!

"Senior Guo! If you insist on making another move, I will withdraw the promise I gave you earlier!"

Lu Hao had no choice; he was at a critical moment in Alchemy and could not free his hands.

Moreover, even if he could free his hands, he likely was not a match for that Xuan Hongxue, so he could only use this matter to threaten Guo Yongsi to keep him from acting impulsively!

Lu Hao still held a great deal of respect for Guo Yongsi.

Sure enough, as soon as Lu Hao said these words, Guo Yongsi's expression changed instantly, and he immediately forcibly stopped his figure.

He began to gradually regain his reason; if Lu Hao withdrew his promise, what had he been living for all these years?

Xuan Hongxue did not notice Guo Yongsi's change at all; her beautiful eyes were staring fixedly at Lu Hao!

"Fellow Daoist! Please stop, do not continue refining my Medicinal Pill!"

Lu Hao did not stop the movements of his hands, but instead looked up at the stunningly beautiful Xuan Hongxue in the air, a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Just as I thought, as long as I touched this Medicinal Pill, you would appear!"

Xuan Hongxue looked coldly at Lu Hao and continued:

"Fellow Daoist! As long as you bring the Medicinal Pill out to me, I can agree to any of your conditions!"

"Hahaha."

Lu Hao laughed while refining:

"Easy to say, easy to say. Once I have finished refining this Medicinal Pill to perfection, I will send it over to you."

Upon hearing this, Xuan Hongxue's monstrous rage finally could not be held back and erupted!

"Lu Hao! You clearly know the importance of this Medicinal Pill to me, yet you still say such things. Are you forcing my hand?"
