Refining Ruins Cauldron

Wei Qianbo was too lazy to waste time, so he raised his hand and pressed it into the void!

A gigantic palm print pierced through the clouds and pressed down fiercely on Nalan Feixue, like the Five Sacred Mountains covering the sky!

Nalan Feixue's expression changed drastically; now, the only option was to fight!

He channeled his spiritual energy, and the longsword in his hand hummed as he raised it to defend himself!

boom!

The clash between the Golden Core cultivators caused the heavens and earth to tremble!

Nalan Feixue was forced back nearly thirty meters before she could barely regain her footing.

Blood trickled from the corner of her mouth, and her face paled. Her already aloof demeanor now appeared even more broken, making her all the more pitiful.

The gap between the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm and the perfect Golden Core realm is like an insurmountable chasm, which cannot be bridged by one or two cultivation techniques.

Moreover, she was plagued by inner demons, and her cultivation level was far from what it used to be.

It's already quite an achievement that they managed to block Wei Qianbo's palm strike.

A ruthless glint flashed in Nalan Feixue's eyes. With a flick of her wrist, a dark red pill fell into her palm.

This pill is called the Limit-Breaking Pill. It is a top-grade third-rank pill and is also a forbidden pill.

It can improve one's cultivation level in a short period of time, but the cost is to injure the enemy by 800 and oneself by 1000!

The slightest carelessness could result in a drop in cultivation level and a regression in practice, or even the destruction of one's elixir and death!

But right now, Nalan Feixue couldn't care less about that.

If I don't give it my all, I'll die here today anyway, so why should I care about my cultivation level?

"Hmm? They even took out the Breakthrough Pill?"

Wei Qianbo frowned, but only for a moment, and his expression quickly returned to normal.

"Even if you've taken the Limit-Breaking Pill, you still wouldn't be a match for me. Why seek your own death?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Qianbo pressed down with another palm strike.

Nalan Feixue showed no intention of backing down and continued to attack with her sword.

Boom boom boom...

The explosions were deafening, like thunderclaps from the heavens.

The clash between the two Golden Core cultivators caused even the surrounding mountains to suffer.

There were potholes everywhere, not to mention the vegetation.

Large swathes of trees were uprooted, rocks crumbled, and dust billowed into the air, making the entire main peak of Tiandu Peak seem to tremble violently.

Nalan Feixue's face flushed red, and her expression was almost frantic.

The power of a fully-fledged Golden Core cultivator is terrifying. At this moment, Wei Qianbo's attack even shows some signs of the Nascent Soul realm.

Even after taking the Limit-Breaking Pill, she was still no match for Wei Qianbo and was forced to retreat repeatedly.

"Hmph! Like a moth drawn to a flame, utterly overestimating themselves!"

With a cold snort, Wei Qianbo lost interest in continuing the fight and threw a punch from a distance.

The enormous fist imprint formed from spiritual energy crashed down like a meteor, heading straight for Nalan Feixue!

Everything around was instantly reduced to dust under the crushing force of the fist imprint.

Nalan Feixue gritted her teeth. Such a powerful attack, even before it got close, made her skin ache with its terrifying spiritual pressure!

"Ice Soul Slash!"

With no way out, he drew his sword and charged.

The two attacks collided violently, instantly shearing off half a meter of the mountaintop beneath their feet, and the terrifying impact continued to spread in all directions.

In an instant, sand and stones flew all around, creating a vacuum zone with a radius of 100 meters, and everything within that zone was instantly annihilated!

Nalan Feixue coughed up blood and fell to the ground with a thud. Only her longsword supported her body, barely keeping her from collapsing.

Gasping for breath, Nalan Feixue's aura was extremely weak, her hair was disheveled, and she looked quite disheveled.

Various injuries erupted within his body, and even his spiritual energy was depleted.

At this time, the side effects of the Limit Breaking Pill also appeared, just when things were bad!

A tearing pain shot through my meridians.

The spiritual power that had been forcibly elevated receded like a tide, while a backlash surged forth.

In such a dire situation, Nalan Feixue had no strength left to help and could only watch helplessly as Wei Qianbo walked towards her step by step.

In contrast, the latter seemed quite composed.

Even with all her might, Nalan Feixue could only leave a few scratches on Wei Qianbo's clothes, without causing him any real harm.

"Hmph! They've courted death; they're doomed!"

Wei Qianbo sneered and casually waved his hand, intending to end the battle.

However, at that moment, a figure rushed out.

"Spare his life!"

The visitor was none other than Elder Huo Qian of the Dan Hall.

However, even Nalan Feixue couldn't stop Wei Qianbo, let alone Elder Huo Qian.

Although Huo Qian was a Golden Core cultivator, he was not good at fighting and his cultivation level was far inferior to Wei Qianbo's.

If we were to confront them head-on, it would be no different from suicide.

"Huo Qian, do you want to die too?"

Wei Qianbo's face darkened, and a hint of impatience appeared between his brows. The palm that was originally slapping Nalan Feixue was turned around and headed straight for Elder Huo Qian!

That one palm strike was enough to kill him!

Elder Huo Qian's face turned pale, overwhelmed by the fear of death.

He didn't care about anything else and tossed out a mid-grade spiritual weapon.

"Explode!"

The mid-grade spiritual artifact self-destructed with terrifying power, managing to withstand Wei Qianbo's casual attack.

With a loud bang!

A burst of fire erupted, and fragments of the magical artifact flew everywhere.

Elder Huo Qian was forced back several steps by the aftershock, his face instantly turning red, and a metallic taste rose in his throat, which he forcibly swallowed back.

He knew he was no match for Wei Qianbo.

But as long as they can hold out for even a moment longer, Gu Qingyun inside the cave will have a better chance.

"Self-destructing a mid-grade spiritual artifact? I'd like to see how many you have left, old codger! And whether they can withstand my attack!"

Enraged, Wei Qianbo drew his sword and slashed it down in mid-air.

A milky-white sword aura shot out, instantly tearing through the void.

Although the sword energy was not large, its power was considerable.

Wei Qianbo's spiritual power was compressed within it, and even a Golden Core cultivator would have to avoid its sharp edge, let alone Elder Huo Qian, who was not good at fighting.

With a single sword strike, an entire mountain could be leveled, and a dying Golden Core cultivator and an elder of the Pill Hall could be killed with ease.

"die!"

The sword strike has arrived; life or death hangs in the balance!

……

Inside the cave, Gu Qingyun was doing his utmost to refine the Heartbreak Pill.

The sounds of fighting were incessant, and explosions were frequent, making one's heart pound.

In an attempt to buy time, Nalan Feixue risked her life.

Now Elder Huoqian has joined the ranks.

All Gu Qingyun could do was to complete the elixir formation with all his might!

After taking several elixirs, he recovered to about 80% of his original condition.

It's clearly impossible to return to peak condition.

Time waits for no one, and neither will Wei Qianbo!

With the experience he had just gained, Gu Qingyun's refining speed increased by more than double!

The movements were fluid and natural, almost instinctive.

His face turned pale rapidly, and his spiritual energy was being drained one after another. If it weren't for the pills and spirit ore that replenished it, he would have collapsed and fainted long ago.

Gu Qingyun's meridians were damaged during his first attempt at refining the Heartbreak Pill, and now he is in excruciating pain.

But he couldn't care less about any of that; his mind was entirely focused on the alchemy furnace.

Upon closer inspection, a thin layer of blood and sweat had seeped from Gu Qingyun's skin, and the color was getting darker and darker.

That was the blood energy that was forcibly squeezed out after the meridians could not withstand the scouring of spiritual energy.

Every extra breath you take puts a strain on your body.

But he ignored it completely and kept throwing the spiritual herbs into the alchemy furnace.

To achieve the goal of becoming a pill, we will spare no expense!

Luo Mei covered her mouth, her eyes brimming with tears.

She could no longer hold on; if she hadn't been tightly covering her mouth, she would have burst into tears long ago.

She had never seen Gu Qingyun like this before.

Despite being seriously injured and still recovering, and despite Wei Qianbo pressing him relentlessly from outside, he seemed completely oblivious to the pain, focusing solely on the batch of pills.

"Faster! Faster!"

Gu Qingyun gritted his teeth, racing against time, his movements even leaving afterimages!

Finally, the final step has arrived; the elixir is about to be completed!

After consuming five Rejuvenation Pills in a row, Gu Qingyun felt his spiritual energy recover slightly. He let out a long breath and changed the hand seals.

The five elements of spiritual energy were poured into the alchemy furnace, interacting and counteracting each other, propelling the spiritual liquid forward and gradually beginning to merge.

Having learned from his first failure, Gu Qingyun didn't hesitate at all this time.

Where to press down, where to release, where to use wood to start a fire, and where to use water to extinguish fire—it all seemed like something that had been rehearsed a thousand times in my mind beforehand.

Before long, a long and melodious fragrance of elixir wafted from the furnace. Gu Qingyun's eyes lit up and he stared intently at the alchemy furnace.

Just one more opportunity!

Just one step away!

hum!

It's now!

Without the slightest hesitation, Gu Qingyun suddenly poured the last bit of spiritual power into the bronze cauldron!

With a muffled bang, the alchemy furnace shook, the lid flew off, and ten spirit pills flew out!

Gu Qingyun made a gesture with his right hand, and the elixir fell into his hand.

The Heartbreak Pill was steaming hot, its colors vibrant, like a rainbow spread across it.

At this moment, the Pill of Severing Emotions is complete!
