390: C390 Mysterious Old Man

C390 Mysterious Old Man

Yu Jingzhe shrugged his shoulders and said, "Alright then. Oh right, I will help Xiao Budian get a few days off, I'm going to take him for a walk around the area."

Ding Mengting smiled and said, "Then, I wish the two of you a good time. Then, I'll be leaving first."

"Goodbye." Yu Jingzhe waved to bid farewell.

After Ding Mengting left, Yu Jingzhe opened a big suite at a nearby hotel and started preparing to refine pills.

Yu Jingzhe took a deep breath and cleared away all the distracting thoughts. Then with a wave of his hand, a golden light shot out from his sleeve and a palm-sized medicine cauldron flew out from within the golden light.

Yu Jingzhe placed his palm on the Cauldron. Following the flow of his zhenqi, the temperature inside the Cauldron also began to rise. When the temperature had almost reached the same level, Yu Jingzhe took out the prepared herbs and poured them into the Cauldron according to the ratio.

The room was suddenly filled with white mist, and the white mist was filled with the intoxicating aroma of medicine. Within the white mist, one could vaguely see a person's figure bustling about, slapping the medicinal cauldron with both of his palms, adjusting the temperature of the medicinal cauldron at any time.

Half an hour later, Yu Jingzhe's eyes lit up. He flipped his palm, and a red fruit lay there quietly, a blood-red color. If you looked carefully, you would see that there was a small flame burning on the surface of the fruit.

This was the last step, and he hoped that he would not fail, because he only had one flame grass fruit.

Yu Jingzhe no longer hesitated as he threw the fruit into the medicinal cauldron. Immediately, the medicinal cauldron erupted with a dazzling red light, and the red light gradually withdrew back into the medicinal cauldron. Yu Jingzhe quickly smelled another medicinal fragrance appearing within the white fog that was surrounding him.

Actually, the reason why Yu Jingzhe took the risk and used the only remaining Fire Grass Fruit to refine the pill was because he had no other choice.

Because there was only one Fire Grass left, it could only resist the cold energy within Gong Qing'er's body once. Afterwards, it could only quietly wait for the cold energy to erupt and die in pain.

Of course, there was another method, which was to continue giving the Divine Fire Sect exchange fees, and then buy them at the price of 1 million per pellet.

However, the price was increasing year by year. It was already 12 million this year, so there would definitely be more next year. Even if Gong Qing'er was the young miss of a big family, she wouldn't be able to support the annual increase in contributions.

Furthermore, based on the increasing amount of contribution points, it could be seen that the effect of the fruit on Gong Qing'er's cold energy was getting weaker and weaker. The effect would be completely nullified within three years, and at that time, she would only die painfully.

Therefore, regardless of the choice, the final result would be death.

After thinking about it, Yu Jingzhe still decided to use the only fruit in his hand to concoct pills. If he succeeded, then everyone would be happy, but if he failed …

Yu Jingzhe couldn't help but clench his fist. He had never thought about what he should do after failure, and he didn't need to think about it!

Thinking of this, Yu Jingzhe's gaze also became determined. He placed both of his palms within the Cauldron and continued to raise the temperature.

Refining the Scorching Sun Pill required a high temperature and a large amount of true energy to support it. Luckily, Yu Jingzhe was already at the Tao Entry Stage level, otherwise, he might be exhausted halfway through. But even so, Yu Jingzhe was already sweating profusely and his face was already showing signs of exhaustion.

After another half an hour, Yu Jingzhe felt that the medicinal fragrance within the white fog had reached its peak. Immediately, he no longer hesitated as he slapped the cauldron with his palm and growled, "Rise!"

However, at this moment, the Cauldron suddenly started to shake violently. A strong wave of energy fluctuations spread out and sent the exhausted Yu Jingzhe flying.

Yu Jingzhe heavily crashed into a wall behind him. Suddenly, countless cracks spread out like a spider web. He felt a sweetness surge up from the depths of his throat. Finally, he forcefully held it back.

At this moment, the medicine cauldron was shaking nonstop, causing the entire room to shake as well. It was as if there was an earthquake. Screams could be heard from outside the guest room as people continued to shout "earthquake, run!"

"Could it be that the cauldron is about to explode?"

Seeing the Cauldron that did not shake in the slightest, Yu Jingzhe's expression became extremely unsightly. He immediately gritted his teeth and once again ran in front of the Cauldron. Then, he slammed his palms onto the Cauldron and said while clenching his teeth, "Steady!"

However, wave after wave of energy fluctuations continued to spread out from within the medicine cauldron and continuously collided with Yu Jingzhe's body, making Yu Jingzhe feel as if his internal organs were thrown into a washing machine. As the laundry box continuously shook, an indescribable pain continuously corroded his nerves.

Just like this, Yu Jingzhe's vision gradually turned black and the light slowly disappeared. Finally, he could no longer hold on and fell towards the ground.

And just at this time, a black shadow suddenly appeared out of thin air, reached out his hand, and firmly held Yu Jingzhe's back. Only then did Yu Jingzhe avoid falling to the ground, and at the same time, a special energy was injected into Yu Jingzhe's body.

Yu Jingzhe turned around and saw that an old man had appeared behind him. The old man was wearing a white robe, had white hair, looked like he was a saint, and had a kind smile on his face. What made Yu Jingzhe even more surprised was that this old man in white was an illusion and not real.

Yu Jingzhe said in surprise, "You are?"0

The white robed old man stroked his white beard and said with a smile, "I am the first master of the Cauldron. I didn't expect that the one who could activate the Cauldron again would be a young man. This really surprises me."

Yu Jingzhe's face also revealed a shocked expression when he heard the white robed old man's words. He had previously known that this cauldron had existed for at least a few hundred years, but he never expected that there was still a trace of psychokinesis left within the cauldron.

Seeing Yu Jingzhe's shocked expression, the white robed old man laughed and said, "But you don't have to worry too much, because I'm already dead and this strand of psychokinesis disappeared very quickly."
