The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

At the same time, a warm feeling rose from behind, spread throughout the body, and then began to climb up to the hands before disappearing without a trace.

The warmth seemed to seep into the alchemy furnace, causing it to gradually heat up. Even the surrounding air seemed to distort, as if it were being scorched by an invisible flame.

Fang Yun, however, did not feel any burning sensation. He only felt a slight fever and a dizzy feeling in his mind.

"Damn it... Will this even work...?"

"If all else fails, we can get a stove to help out..."

In just a moment, Fang Yun sensed that something was wrong.

The ability to perform the Zhongyuan Danjue relies on acquired essence, energy, and spirit.

The essence of heaven is used to stimulate the bloodline of the Qilin, and the qi of heaven is used to regulate the bloodline of the Qilin. The bloodline of the Qilin is used to ignite the divine fire, and the divine fire is used to extract the medicinal power from the medicine and condense it into the root of life.

To put it simply, one must have the bloodline of a Qilin to use the Central Plains Pill Technique.

Using the bloodline of the Qilin as the primary source and the energy and spirit of the human body as secondary sources, the body's strength and thoughts are mobilized to activate the Qilin divine fire to refine the elixir.

It was indeed simple and direct, and not difficult for him to understand.

But it's easier said than done.

Even with his strong physique, he dared not say that his body and energy could withstand such a drain.

(bjbd) Constantly calming your mind and focusing your energy on activating the Qilin bloodline is much more tiring than fighting.

"Oops, I was careless."

"Let's practice first. If it doesn't work, we can get a stove to help us later."

After a moment's thought, Fang Yun calmed his mind and began to circulate the Zhongyuan Danjue.

Regardless, this path of alchemy is one that must be taken.

He still has a lot of medicines, inner cores, and beast treasures waiting for him in his system space, and he also needs to refine some pills with anti-aging effects for Hua.

.............................

After half an hour.

Fang Yun collapsed onto the sofa in the room, clutching a small jade bottle in her hand, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

"This is absolutely inhuman work..."

"No wonder those ancient alchemists always sought out a volcanic vent..."

"Damn, this is really painful."

After finishing one batch of pills, Fang Yun felt completely drained and had no strength left.

In just half an hour, the Zhongyuan Danjue had completely drained his energy and physical strength. In the end, he could only grit his teeth and barely manage to hold on.

However, it wasn't without its gains; the furnace of pills was successfully refined.

However, this pill cannot be called a true elixir. He tasted one, and it could only be described as a pill with complete medicinal power.

After all, he only planted one herb, which has only one medicinal property.

"It's already so tiring to work with just one medicinal herb, imagine how exhausting it would be to refine it into an elixir... it would be deadly."

Fang Yun sighed inwardly, but the smile on his face remained unchanged.

Once you start, you'll start again. At least he's already mastered the basics. This Zhongyuan Danjue is indeed the most suitable alchemy technique for him, and he feels no discomfort using it.

At this rate, he should be able to refine a real pill in less than a year or two!

Immersed in beautiful dreams of the future, Fang Yun soon drifted off to sleep.

............................

The next morning, Fang Yun opened his eyes.

"Silly girl..."

Upon closer inspection, he saw that Hua had also fallen asleep on the sofa with him, her entire body pressed against him.

Turning my head, I saw that it was still barely dawn.

Seeing this, Fang Yun carefully picked up the flower and placed it on the bed.

After tucking the flower in with a blanket and washing up, Fang Yun left the room.

If nothing unexpected happens, there should be news about the mine today.

Given Zhang Qishan's decisive nature, he would definitely head into the mine today, but unaware of the mine's dangers, he might just trip and fall.

Intelligence is crucial for tomb raiding.

In the original timeline, this is how Chen Yulou and Partridge Whistle met their end.

Therefore, he had to keep a close eye on this matter to avoid any mistakes.

Ahhh, that feels so good!

After leaving the room, Fang Yun stretched and let out a heavy sigh.

The fatigue from last night completely disappeared after a good night's sleep; the Qilin bloodline is truly powerful.

Before long, Fang Yun arrived at the first floor of the restaurant, intending to go out for some fresh air.

Suddenly, Fang Yun raised an eyebrow, stopped in his tracks, and looked toward the corner by the window.

Upon closer inspection, Fang Yun was taken aback.

The Seventh Sister was sitting by the window, watching the vendors who were busy early in the morning outside, lost in thought.

People come and go outside the window, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares fill the air, creating a noisy scene.

But as she sat there, she was incredibly serene, like a beautiful painting.

In Fang Yun's view, everything slowed down, and apart from the stunning scenery, there was nothing else in his eyes.

It's stunningly beautiful and breathtaking.

Suddenly, the Seventh Sister frowned and lit a cigarette.

Only then did Fang Yun notice that there was a box of foreign cigarettes and an ashtray on the table, with nearly ten cigarette butts in the ashtray.

Upon seeing this scene, Fang Yuncai remembered.

As a woman of the Huo family, how heavy is the burden on her shoulders?

The Huo family women did not have a better childhood than the Zhang family children. From a young age, they had to learn all kinds of skills, suppressing their natural talents, and prioritizing the family above all else.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun felt a little moved.

Like a flower, she carries too much on her shoulders and is getting tired.

Thinking of this, Fang Yun started walking and slowly walked to the table, sitting down opposite the Seventh Sister.

"Good morning, Seventh Sister."

Chapter 174 I'll Raise You Through Tomb Raids!

(The next chapter will be about going into a tomb, so these last few chapters have been a bit padded, please don't criticize...)

"Master Fang."

Seventh Sister nodded, a smile spreading across her face, masking her worry, and pushed the cigarette box in front of Fang Yun.

Fang Yun didn't refuse, lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it.

"It's still early, Master Fang, why don't you rest a little longer?"

Upon seeing Fang Yun, her smoking buddy, Seventh Sister felt a little warmer, and her smile became even more pronounced.

Fang Yun shrugged and laughed, "Seventh Miss should ask herself that question."

Are you envious of them?

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Sister was clearly taken aback, somewhat confused.

Fang Yun sighed, looked out the window, and murmured softly.

"You envy others for living a peaceful and fulfilling life, while others envy you for pursuing your dreams without hesitation and achieving what you want."

No one is better off than anyone else; they just chose different paths.

Hearing Fang Yun's whisper, Seventh Sister's smoking motion trembled, and a strange feeling rose in her heart.

She felt that Fang Yun seemed to understand her very well and knew what she wanted and desired.

As Fang Yun pondered his words, a thousand thoughts raced through his mind, yet he could not utter a single word, only feeling even more weary.

Seeing this, Fang Yun didn't say anything more, just sat quietly, looking at the street scene outside the window.

About five minutes later, the Seventh Sister came to her senses and frowned as she looked out the window.

Before anyone knew it, Fang Yun had left and was eating breakfast at a small stall on the street.

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a small jade box placed where Fang Yun had been sitting.

With a puzzled look, the Seventh Sister picked up the jade box and opened it. When she saw what was inside, she was stunned.

The jade box contained several old ginseng and astragalus plants, which were used to nourish the spleen, stomach, and lungs.
