Boom——
In the instant when Yu Youhan was momentarily dazed, a bolt of tribulation thunder pierced through the defense line and shot towards the pill furnace.
Fortunately, Ji Hongxiu reacted quickly, immediately activating her Dharma Image. An ancient peach tree materialized, narrowly blocking the thunder from destroying the spirit pill.
"What’s happening?" Ji Hongxiu struggled to maintain the alchemy fire, her voice urgent, "This is a crucial moment, don’t tell me you can’t hold on!"
She knew how absurd it was to endure the thunder tribulation for almost twenty days; throughout the Jiu Zhou, probably only Yu Youhan could achieve this, and the consumption must be extraordinary.
But now it’s the most critical juncture, just a hair’s breadth away from forming a pill, and this is when the Creation Golden Pill is most fragile, allowing no mistakes, or all previous efforts would be in vain.
Not only would it disappoint Qingxuan’s expectations, but it also wouldn’t do justice to Chen Mo’s earlier contributions.
Yu Youhan came back to her senses, waved her hand lightly, and the Dao Fall appeared, devouring all the dark clouds above.
Seeing this, Ji Hongxiu let out a breath, asking, "I thought you reached your limit... what happened just now?"
Yu Youhan furrowed her brows slightly and said, "For a while now, I’ve been spread too thin. Worried someone might be plotting against Chen Mo, I left a Divine Thought on him, but just now, it suddenly disappeared..."
"Disappeared?" Ji Hongxiu’s heart skipped a beat, "Are you saying Chen Mo was killed?!"
Yu Youhan glanced at the red mark on her wrist and shook her head, "That’s not it. I can still sense he’s alive but can’t pinpoint his location. He must be shielded by some kind of power."
Ji Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Could it be possible he’s researching some array or is he in the palace?"
"Even if it’s the Imperial Palace’s array, it couldn’t completely block my Divine Sense, unless..." Yu Youhan thought of something, her eyes turning cold, "unless it’s a Demon-breaking Stone, and a large amount, burying him within..."
Crack——
At this moment, a crisp sound was heard, and Yu Youhan’s expression changed.
She took out a jade plate from her bosom, which was now broken into two halves. It was the Life Token she gave to Chen Mo, two pieces bound together, only to be broken when facing life and death danger!
Chen Mo’s aura flashed for a moment, then disappeared again.
In that brief instant, it was enough for Yu Youhan to lock onto his approximate location—
"Two hundred miles southwest of Tiandu City!"
"Chen Mo is in danger!"
Hearing this, Ji Hongxiu didn’t hesitate at all, preparing to abandon the furnace, "I’ll go with you to save him!"
Alchemy is important, but not more so than the safety of a loved one!
Even if Ling Yishan were to die because of her, bearing immense cause and effect, she wouldn’t care at all!
"You’d better stay here and continue refining." Yu Youhan stopped her, "If I can handle it, your going is useless. If even I can’t handle it, your going is even more useless."
Ji Hongxiu: "..."
Though it was the truth, it sounded a bit harsh.
"There are two days left until the pill is complete." Yu Youhan looked towards the sky, speaking solemnly, "Each time the tribulation clouds are dispelled, they gather power and will be stronger the next time. Now it has reached its peak, are you sure you can handle it?"
"Don’t worry, it’s no problem." Ji Hongxiu patted her chest, "If you can hold on for over twenty days, two days is nothing for me."
"Good." Yu Youhan said no more, her figure flickered and disappeared.
