The Unorthodox Tomb Raider

Chapter 224 A Passionate Lover! Refining Elixirs!

"Today I will fulfill all the promises I made. After I finish these, the time will be approaching, and then I will explain everything to you."

Fang Yunyun said these words in a daze.

……

"Clang clang clang!"

"Lord Fang Yun, our Second Master requests your presence. He says he has something to discuss with you. Are you available now?"

A sound came from outside the door.

"Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Fang Yun said calmly.

……

Fang Yun had already calculated the prescriptions he had listed.

Given Er Yuehong's wealth and his deep affection for Ya Tou, he had probably already collected most of the medicinal herbs.

After all, Er Yuehong had been undergoing treatment for his wife for so many years.

Many things are already second nature to me.

Where you can buy it or find it depends entirely on your skill.

Furthermore, since the things he wanted weren't particularly valuable, it wouldn't be difficult for Er Yuehong to find them.

It just requires spending more money.

Fang Yun knew that Er Yuehong would definitely ask him to come to his residence to refine pills within the next two days.

Just to extend my life with my beloved for another twenty or thirty years.

……

"You can rest well at the Changsha Hotel. What we are doing today is not difficult. We are just going to rescue Second Master's wife. I will probably be back around noon."

After Fang Yun finished speaking, he followed the person outside the door and left the Changsha Hotel.

……

"Lord Fang Yun, Second Master has been waiting for you for a long time. Someone will naturally lead the way for you. I will take my leave now."

After saying this, the servant hurriedly withdrew.

This is the second time I've visited Er Yuehong's residence.

But this place is indeed luxurious and grand enough.

Er Yuehong accumulated wealth from her ancestors, plus her own abilities.

It takes a genius to have developed this family business to such an extent.

However, in Fang Yun's eyes, all this wealth and grandeur was like a pile of dung.

The space is almost entirely filled with funerary objects.

These things, if placed on the market, would be worth far more than a mere mansion.

It's affordable for everyone in Changsha.

Fang Yun only agreed to help because of Er Yuehong's deep affection.

……

Er Yuehong paced back and forth in the courtyard.

Seeing Fang Yun enter, he quickly went forward.

"Brother Fang, I'm so glad you've come. I've collected most of the materials for your prescription. I've been feeling uneasy lately, and I suspect something bad is about to happen."

"That's why I hurriedly invited you here. Although the medicinal herbs aren't perfect, I can guarantee that they're about 90% effective."

"Second Master, there's no need to be so polite. To be able to gather 90% of the medicinal herbs in such a short time, you must have put in a lot of effort. Such a devoted person, if I don't continue to keep your wife for another twenty or thirty years, I would be doing you a disservice."

Fang Yun sighed.

……

In this era where money and power reign supreme.

He was willing to go bankrupt for a woman, just to extend her life.

It can only be said that such a devoted person has become a thing of the past.

Fang Yun did it with nothing more than a small favor.

I'll just collect some medicinal herbs that can be used to make the Youth Preservation Pill.

……

"Second Master, there's no need for formalities. Saving your wife is the most important thing right now. Now that the medicinal herbs are almost ready, I can start refining the pills. However, I don't want anyone to disturb me during this time."

"The process of refining this elixir is extremely complicated. If one is not careful, the whole thing will be lost, and all the prepared medicinal materials will be destroyed."

Seeing Fang Yun's unusually serious expression, Er Yuehong knew in his heart that this matter was no small thing.

They quickly prepared a room for Fang Yun and placed several guards around him.

It was so tightly surrounded that, to exaggerate a bit, not even a fly could get into the room.

……

Inner room.

"Don't worry, with a genius like Brother Fang refining pills, we will definitely be able to help you survive this time. As long as you can live a safe and healthy life, I, Er Yuehong, would have no regrets even if I had to wander the streets and beg for the rest of my life."

Er Yuehong's eyes welled up with tears.

"Second Master, why bother? I'm already incredibly fortunate to have been able to accompany you for so long. Besides, I've given you children. Even if I'm gone, your children will be there to keep you company for the rest of your life."

Er Yuehong's wife was already sobbing uncontrollably.

The two embraced, and Er Yuehong knew that Fang Yun was their last hope.

He had been prolonging his wife's life for so long that he had long since realized that her days were probably numbered.

· ·········Request flowers· ···

If even Fang Yun couldn't save his wife, then it could only mean that his wife was doomed.

……

In the alchemy room.

"Although this is just refining an ordinary pill, it is indeed a little simpler than a magical pill like the Youth Preservation Pill."

"However, there are probably only two portions of these medicinal herbs at most. In other words, I can only fail once, or I cannot fail even once. Otherwise, Er Yuehong's wife probably won't live more than seven days in her current condition."

Fang Yun calmed himself down and began refining pills.

……

Not everyone knows how to refine pills.

In modern terms, alchemy involves purifying and retaining only the necessary components of a medicinal substance.

Then, further fusion is carried out to release the medicinal effects.

..... ........ 0

The process of refining and condensing over a hundred medicinal herbs into a tangible form would take a whole day and night to explain.

Fang Yun is now highly focused, methodically tossing the medicinal herbs into the alchemy furnace one by one.

If Fang Yun didn't possess the bloodline of the Qilin, the mental energy required to control the size of the flames while refining the pills would be immense.

All of these are enough to make someone bleed from all seven orifices.

The required temperature for purifying each medicinal herb is completely different.

The mental energy required to precisely control these temperatures is daunting.

This also shows that there are very few alchemists in the world.

……

one hour

Two hours

Three hours

……

Er Yuehong could only hold his wife quietly like this.

Now his wife's life was entirely in Fang Yun's hands.

Er Yuehong knew that only Fang Yun had the ability to save his wife.

As time went by, Er Yuehong felt increasingly anxious, as if a cat was scratching his heart.

However, he didn't dare to easily go over and disturb Fang Yun.
