CHAPTER 871: CHAPTER 881: REFINING TWO ELIXIRS AT ONCE

A man cannot be too careful.

Although Huang Yuerou promised to keep Chu Feng’s secret, he still had to be cautious. Chu Feng released his Divine Sense, constantly monitoring the movements outside the door.

"Madam, have you taken Guanyin’s Child-Giving Elixir?" Chen Xiang hurriedly approached.

"Mm!" Thinking of the low-grade elixir she had taken, Huang Yuerou’s face flushed with a tint of red. She forcefully suppressed the anger in her heart, trying to keep her voice calm. "Chen Xiang, stand guard here. Without Tang Dan King’s instructions, do not allow anyone in to disturb. If Tang Dan King requires any herbs, a note will be passed out, and you just prepare the herbs and discreetly pass them through the door crack."

"Oh! Okay!"

Chen Xiang felt a bit puzzled; the madam was acting somewhat strangely.

Inside the Alchemy Room, Chu Feng quickly checked all the herbs.

Thanks to Tang Dan King.

This person held a high position in the Pang Residence and acted tyrannically, so the Pang Residence prepared a full variety of herbs for him in ample quantities.

The main herbs needed for refining the Ninth Grade Flame Burst Elixir and Golden Talisman Elixir were all available in Chu Feng’s storage ring.

Thus, there was no need to send Chen Xiang to procure additional herbs.

This saved time and minimized the risk of exposure.

At other times, Chu Feng wasn’t afraid of interruptions.

But if someone suddenly barged in during the refining of a Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir, it could easily lead to failure.

Looking at the two Pill Furnaces in front of him, Chu Feng didn’t rush into action but frowned in thought.

"I have less than two days left, at most only enough time to refine one Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir. It must be the kind I’m most proficient in. Furthermore, the higher the grade of Talismanic Elixir, the greater the chance of failure. If I have more than a fifty percent success rate, I’d be overjoyed."

"Meaning, if I fail midway, I won’t have another chance!"

The fate of hundreds of thousands of people rested on Chu Feng, putting enormous pressure on him.

"Might as well take a gamble! Since there are two Pill Furnaces, I’ll multitask and refine two types of Talismanic Elixirs simultaneously! In case one fails, I won’t be completely out of options."

Having made up his mind, Chu Feng no longer hesitated.

He was indeed audacious.

Other Alchemy Venerates required intense concentration to refine even one furnace of Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixir, yet he was multitasking with two.

Chu Feng quickly arranged the needed herbs.

They were the Ninth Grade Flame Burst Elixir and Ninth Grade Gold Talisman Elixir, the two types he was most confident in.

This time the focus was on attacking rather than defense.

Thus, Chu Feng wasn’t planning to refine defensive-type Ninth Grade Talismanic Elixirs. They were all offensive types.

Flame Burst Elixirs don’t need much explanation, being powerful group attack Talismanic Elixirs.

One Flame Burst Elixir thrown would explode and kill a large number of enemies immediately.

As for the Golden Talisman Elixir, this time, he was preparing to refine the Immortal Slaying Pill.

The name alone suggests that this Ninth Grade Golden Talisman Elixir has terrifying power. Although "slaying immortals" might be exaggerated, cutting down a Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God would be no problem.

It’s a single-target attack Talismanic Elixir.

Once triggered, it transforms into a golden blade cleaving enemies in an instant.

It’s not only as fast as lightning but also pierces through defenses and armor effortlessly. Once the target is locked, it’s nearly impossible to escape being slain.

Chu Feng cleaned the two Pill Furnaces, then began warming them, methodically inputting various herbs.

With the assistance of the Eighth Grade Nine Yang Strange Fire, it was different.

Previously challenging herbs or difficult fire control are now easily managed.

...

In the Outer City of Azure Dragon Imperial City, even though Beixie National Master commanded the army and repelled more than twenty top experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family, he still didn’t dare relax for a moment.

He instructed his subordinate soldiers to stay dressed and ready, keeping their horses saddled, resting and eating well, always ready to face another powerful enemy attack. After all, those were more than twenty Supreme Sword Gods.

Each one alone could cause the army to quake in fear.

"Strategist, where exactly is my husband? Where is he?" Chu Feng had secretly entered the Inner City, revealing his whereabouts only to Beixie National Master. His two beloved wives were left unaware.

During the constant battle with the enemy, the situation was tense, so they naturally had no time to attend to other matters.

Now that the battle was over, with no sign of Chu Feng, the two women immediately felt anxious, desperately searching for Chu Feng’s whereabouts.

"Rest assured, Your Highnesses, the Emperor is working on refining Talismanic Elixirs to deal with those super strong people of the Azure Dragon Royal Family. You both know that refining elixirs requires utmost concentration, without the slightest disturbance. Before His departure, the Emperor strictly ordered that no one is to disturb, promising to emerge within three days."

Beixie National Master remained calm, steadying the worried inquiries of the two Imperial Concubines.

After Chu Feng ascended to the throne, Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang naturally became his concubines.

Though Chu Feng hasn’t formally married them, it didn’t affect their esteemed status in the hearts of Beixie National Master and others.

"Husband is really..." Han Xiaoying believed Beixie National Master’s words.

Han Shuang, a witch of the Rashamon Sect, was not so easily reassured.

"You say my husband is refining elixirs, but where? We won’t disturb him, just protect him from outside, right?"

Had it been anyone else, Han Shuang’s probing would have caused them to lose composure and reveal the secret.

Beixie National Master didn’t flinch, responding calmly, "Your Royal Highness, please don’t make things difficult for me. The Emperor forbade speaking even a word before leaving. There’s a deep meaning in this. Think about it, if we made a big show of guarding outside the Alchemy Room, wouldn’t that outright tell the enemy the Emperor is there?"

"With our strength, we wouldn’t even suffice to fill the gaps between the teeth of that Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God of the Azure Dragon Royal Family!"

Hearing this, Han Shuang could no longer find fault, temporarily letting it go.

Han Xiaoying also persuaded, "Sister Shuang, since husband promised to be out in three days, let’s just patiently wait for two more days."

"Alright!"

Han Shuang found a clean place, sat down, and began to regulate her breath for recovery.

...

In the blink of an eye, a day passed. The once quiet gates of the Inner City suddenly opened, with several Supreme Sword Gods of the Azure Dragon Royal Family flying out.

The leader was the Five Tribulation Supreme Sword God.

"Listen here, hand over the wretch who snuck into my Azure Dragon Heavenly Kingdom’s Imperial Mausoleum immediately, or I shall grind you all to dust to quell my wrath!" The elder roared, his voice rolling like thunder.

The entire battlefield of four hundred thousand troops clearly heard it.

"Form the Solider Formation, prepare for the enemy!"

Upon hearing this, Beixie National Master’s face lit up with joy.

The fact that these supreme experts of the Azure Dragon Royal Family raged like their ancestral graves had been disturbed, showed that Chu Feng hadn’t fallen into their hands. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have chased out to the Outer City to demand accountability.
