127: Please let them go.

Above the Pill Furnace, the Purple-Gold Fire Dragon stared at the scene nearby, its golden eyes filled with confusion.

She shrank her body, turning into a small dragon, and flew in front of the two, asking in a crisp voice, "Sister Fang, what are you doing?"

Fang Ruodan felt shame surge through her entire body.

As a dignified Pill Emperor, she never thought she would suffer such humiliation.

In despair, the thought of seeking death arose.

But the image of her newborn daughter's face flashed in her mind, and her death wish instantly vanished.

She looked at Cao Bu; she wanted to die, yet lacked the courage to follow through.

She wanted to resist, but her body was not under her control.

Time passed minute by minute.

After fifteen minutes, Fang Ruodan still didn't care.

After two hours, shock rose in her heart.

After more than half a day, a genuine look of terror flashed in her eyes.

"Cao Bu, you bastard, will you ever finish? How long has it been!"

Fang Ruodan's voice trembled; her body's endurance had reached its limit, and every inch of her skin was screaming with exhaustion.

Cao Bu smiled easily: "Ruo Dan, help me refine a Medicinal Pill."

"You're using these methods to negotiate terms?" Fang Ruodan was both angry and anxious, her cheeks burning hot.

Cao Bu nodded, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness: "If not like this, should I change the method? If you want, I'll fulfill your wish right now."

Fang Ruodan wanted to push the person in front of her away, but her body could only react submissively.

"Cao Bu, you will get your retribution!" she hissed through gritted teeth.

Cao Bu's smile remained unchanged: "I'm asking you, do you agree to refine an emperor pill for me?"

Fang Ruodan gritted her teeth, refusing to compromise: "Absolutely not! Just you wait, once I'm out, I'll tell Leng Yue about this and see how you explain it to her!"

Cao Bu shook his head slightly, his tone carrying a trace of certainty: "You still haven't realized by now? Since I can control your body, I can naturally also influence your words and actions."

Fang Ruodan was full of disbelief, but in the next second, a charming moan uncontrollably escaped her mouth.

Then, a sweet, high-pitched cutesy voice rang out: "Cao Bu, why are you so amazing? Please let me go, okay~?"

Fang Ruodan froze, her eyes widening in disbelief.

How did she say what was in her heart, and in a cutesy voice she had never tried before?

For a moment, her gaze toward Cao Bu was filled with utter astonishment.

Cao Bu smiled even more triumphantly: "Ruo Dan, you cannot escape the palm of my hand. Instead of struggling to resist, you might as well obediently accept it."

"Absolutely impossible!" Fang Ruodan still persisted through gritted teeth.

A dangerous light flashed in Cao Bu's eyes: "Since you refuse to do this the easy way, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Two and a half days later.

Fang Ruodan said weakly: "You bastard, beast, animal, let go of me quickly, I... I'll agree to it."

Hearing this, Cao Bu smiled with satisfaction.

"The wise man knows how to adapt to the circumstances; you've made the right decision."

After resting for two hours.

Only then did Fang Ruodan recover her strength.

However, her face was still pale. In her gaze toward Cao Bu, besides hatred, there was even more of a shock-filled dread.

Three whole days and nights—how did this man do it?

In a daze, she thought of her husband.

Why was the gap between the two of them so immense?

"What Medicinal Pill do you want to refine?" She took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in her heart, and asked coldly.

Cao Bu stepped forward and handed her the storage ring containing the remaining Materials for the emperor venerable pill.

Immediately after, a black and white halo condensed at his fingertip, and he lightly tapped her forehead.

The next moment, the information for the Pill Formula of the yin-yang emperor venerable pill flooded into her mind.

Fang Ruodan organized the Pill Formula; the more she looked, the more shocked she became, until finally, her eyes widened as if they were about to split.

The level of detail in this Pill Formula far exceeded the rebirth pill she had seen before.

Every step of heat control and every proportion of medicinal herbs was incredibly clear.

With her Alchemy attainment, she had a hundred percent certainty of success!

What shocked her even more was that the precious rebirth pill Materials were merely auxiliary herbs in this yin-yang emperor venerable pill.

"So you were prepared long ago." Fang Ruodan regained her composure, her tone carrying a hint of cold mockery: "Leng Yue probably doesn't know about this, right?"

Cao Bu nodded candidly: "Naturally, I wouldn't let her know about such a thing."

He paused, then added: "Put away your Pill Furnace and Emperor Flame. I'm taking you to a certain place."

"There, the time required for you to refine the Medicinal Pill can be shortened."

Fang Ruodan's heart was full of doubt, but seeing Cao Bu's unquestionable gaze, she still did as she was told.

Currently, she had no room to resist.

Cao Bu only needed a single thought to make her lose control of herself.

Fang Ruodan took the Pill Furnace and Emperor Flame into her body and looked at Cao Bu.

She wondered what method this beast had to shorten the Alchemy time.

With a thought, Cao Bu used the System to bring himself and Fang Ruodan into the Time Wheel Emperor Palace.

He currently hadn't comprehended the Law; opening and entering required relying on the System. Only after his Breakthrough to the Realm King could he refine and master it himself.

"The flow of time here is a hundred times slower than the outside world. One day outside is a hundred days here, which is enough for you to refine two Medicinal Pills in a short time."

Cao Bu explained softly.

This woman would be his exclusive Alchemist from now on and would stay here frequently.

Fang Ruodan was deeply shaken internally.

Even Time Emperor Jun Muqing's Time Wheel Emperor Palace only had a fifty-to-one flow ratio, yet here it was a hundred.

Unfortunately, after the Time Emperor fell, that supreme dao emperor weapon disappeared.

"Where is this? It couldn't be an Immortal Artifact, could it?" Fang Ruodan asked.

Cao Bu explained: "This is a supreme dao emperor weapon called the Time Wheel Emperor Palace. We are currently inside its internal space."

Fang Ruodan's eyes instantly widened.

Over the years, almost all Great Emperors had been searching for the Time Emperor's emperor weapon.

Once obtained, one could save a massive amount of Cultivation time.

She hadn't expected it to be in Cao Bu's hands; she didn't know how this beast had obtained it.

Cao Bu frowned: "I know what you're thinking. Calling me a beast once is enough."

"If you think that again, I'll let you see what a real beast is like."

He added: "I also didn't expect this Time Wheel Emperor Palace to belong to the Time Emperor. It seems I have a fated connection with her."

Fang Ruodan grumbled in her heart.

You beast, you even know the name of the emperor weapon, yet you claim not to know it belonged to the Time Emperor? Who are you kidding!

Just as she finished the thought, she suddenly reacted.

Cao Bu seemed to know the thoughts in her heart.

She looked up at Cao Bu and indeed saw him staring at her with an unfriendly gaze.

"Cao Bu, you heard wrong. I didn't call you a beast in my heart."

Cao Bu's tone was dangerous: "Wait until I'm done with my business, then you can explain."

As his voice fell, he once again pinned Fang Ruodan to the ground.

Fang Ruodan sobbed in anger: "You bastard, I haven't even recovered yet."

Her response was Cao Bu's silence.

Meanwhile.

Inside a Secret Realm in the Spirit Realm.

Gu Yun and an illusory figure were staring blankly at an empty high platform ahead.

After a long time, Gu Yun turned his head to look at the illusory figure beside him: "Aunt Qing, it seems your emperor weapon has been taken by someone."

Jun Muqing's eyebrows furrowed, and her expression was not good.

"Who on earth took it? Don't let this Emperor find out, or I'll definitely tear you into ten thousand pieces!"

Gu Yun said solemnly: "Aunt Qing, now that we don't have the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, how can I quickly improve my Cultivation?"

Jun Muqing sighed and smoothed her brow: "No matter. Even without the Time Wheel Emperor Palace, I can temporarily construct a Cultivation site with a tenfold time difference for you."

Gu Yun was overjoyed upon hearing this.

A tenfold time difference meant that even without any Opportunity, he could reach the Quasi-Emperor stage within a thousand years.

With the tenfold flow, that would be a hundred years.

If there were opportunities, the speed would be even faster.

"Then thank you, Aunt Qing." Gu Yun's heart was filled with hope.

He looked in one direction.

It seemed he could peer through hundreds of millions of miles to where the Sword Province Gu Clan was located.

"No matter who it is, the day I become an Emperor will be the time I return to the Gu Clan and wash away my humiliation!"

"Big brother, for my own peace of mind, regardless of whether you have anything to do with the person who framed me, you must die."

"And second brother, that position of Clan Chief isn't so easy to sit in."
