I didn't expect that Lu Huanong was truly born for divination, able to connect with the heavens and foresee past and future. I can definitely confirm that Lu Huanong's fortune-telling is extremely accurate.

However, fortune-telling can be very dangerous. Just like Lu Huanong's readings are too accurate, which is equivalent to revealing heavenly secrets. The heavens won't easily let someone with divine power go."

"Kid, are you actually planning to talk about snakes, or can you get to the point? Who's willing to listen to your nonsense here?" Feng Zilong couldn't help but get impatient at this point.

Lu Yunshang, however, looked at Ling Zhenfei with interest and said: "Go on, say it."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Every time Lu Huanong performs a divination, it's a very strong trial for her body and damages it greatly each time.

For us cultivators, our twenties are usually the best time for our bodies, but Lu Huanong received punishment from the heavens for frequently revealing heavenly secrets, and her body is already at the end of its strength."

"What do you mean, at the end of its strength? I see that my junior sister's health has improved a lot since the last two times I saw her." Feng Zilong said disdainfully.

Ling Zhenfei stared at Feng Zilong and said, "Do you know why Lu Huanong insisted on calling you back this time? It's because she divined again for herself, and her life ends today."

"What? How could it be? Kid, don't talk nonsense. Our junior sister is doing fine. How could her life end today? Don't deceive us."

"Exactly, our junior sister seems quite well. How could she die after today? We won't just believe it so easily."

Ling Zhenfei laughed: "You are all smart people. Whether this matter is true or false, I don't need to say much. You're not here to solve a case, I'm just telling you the facts, not asking you to judge whether it's true or false."

Lu Yunshang said: "What do you mean by that? If my sister really is going to die today, as her friend, you should be thinking of some way, shouldn't you?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "You're right. As a doctor and, more importantly, as Lu Huanong's friend, I've tried many ways. But in the face of heavenly punishment, we humans seem so insignificant.

Even though I've tried many times over the past year, each time I've only managed to delay it; I couldn't stop the heavenly punishment. Even performing alchemy here couldn't succeed."

Lu Yunshang said: "I think you must have already thought of a way; otherwise, you wouldn't be sitting here peacefully."

Ling Zhenfei nodded and said: "Indeed, I have thought of a solution, and I've actually had this plan for a while. I was just missing one kind of herb. I just got out of Xianling Mountain yesterday and successfully obtained this herb. If conditions permit now, we can make a life-extending pill."

Feng Zilong said: "Since you've already thought of a way, why are you still talking here? Hurry up and refine it."

Ling Zhenfei said: "I've already said that refining any elixir here, especially for Lu Huanong, will be ruined by heavenly punishment. The success rate is very low."

"Then what do you want?"

"Exactly, do you have some conditions?"

Ling Zhenfei said: "There are no conditions, just that you need to help me resist the heavenly punishment, so I can concentrate on making the elixir, and I'll ensure it is successfully refined to extend Lu Huanong's life."

"Together resist the heavenly punishment? Do you have experience?"

"Yeah, what does heavenly punishment look like?"

Ling Zhenfei said the last time the elixir might not have been important, so the heavenly punishment was very minor. But this time, it's different. If this elixir is successfully refined, it's like defying heaven and changing fate, so the heavenly punishment will definitely be very intense.

I only have half of the herb, and it can only make one elixir, so I can't make any mistakes. If there's one mistake, it means complete failure."

"Okay, we trust you. As long as it's for my sister, we're willing to do anything. Just tell us what to do."

Lu Yunshang agreed, which means everyone agreed; others probably have no objections.

Even if it's wrong, as long as Lu Yunshang says it's right, then it's right.

"Yes, tell us what we need to do to make it work."

"We have to try for our junior sister, or else we won't be worthy of our master's teachings."

Ling Zhenfei said: "Based on my last experience, just form a protective shield above my Pill Furnace to keep the heavenly punishment from reaching the furnace."

"Is it really that simple?" Everyone seemed a bit skeptical.

Ling Zhenfei said: "We don't have a better solution for this. No matter how intense the upcoming heavenly punishment is, everyone must be careful and ensure it doesn't interfere with my alchemy."

"Alright, then let's get started. I guess our junior sister will be back soon."

At this point, Ling Zhenfei stood up, and the group went out into the courtyard.

With a wave of Ling Zhenfei's hand, the Phoenix Elixir Furnace appeared in front of him. Since it had been in the Heaven-Dropping Essence Marrow for a long time, the furnace was filled with Northern Spiritual Energy.

The appearance of the Pill Furnace left Lu Yunshang and others slightly amazed because the furnace was clearly no ordinary item. The spiritual energy on it seemed alive, as if the Pill Furnace had gained sentience.

Ling Zhenfei took out the herbs he needed, and they floated in front of him. Ling Zhenfei arranged them based on their measurement and the order they would be used.

Ling Zhenfei said: "I'm about to start. I'll focus solely on alchemy, and I'll leave the rest to you."

Lu Yunshang and the other two exchanged glances and nodded. Lu Yunshang said: "Lu Huanong is our junior sister. We should be thanking you. Rest assured, we'll complete the task you entrusted to us."

Ling Zhenfei looked at Feng Zilong and said: "Mr. Feng, we did have some misunderstandings, but let's put our grievances aside and tend to our junior sister's illness first."

Feng Zilong snorted coldly and said: "Don't worry. My feelings for our junior sister are no less than yours, and I was about to ask you not to hold a grudge against me."

Ling Zhenfei nodded. He was very uneasy about this Feng Zilong; he could tell this person was vengeful. The fight in the morning harmed Feng Zilong quite a bit, and this guy would definitely seek revenge.

Ling Zhenfei wasn't worried about fighting him one-on-one because the morning battle had proven everything, but he feared that this Feng Zilong might backstab him.

If Ling Zhenfei got two stabs in the back, he could tolerate it, but he feared Feng Zilong might take action today that would also endanger Lu Huanong.

Ling Zhenfei said: "Mr. Feng, no matter the grudges between us, after today I wouldn't mind you stabbing me twice, but today's matter is of great importance; we cannot afford to be careless."

Feng Zilong said angrily: "Kid, what do you take me for? I've already told you, our matters we will settle later. Why don't you trust me?"

Lu Yunshang also said: "Mr. Ling, rest assured, if my senior brother makes a promise, he will not go back on his word. Besides, we're here too."

Ling Zhenfei said: "In that case, I'll start. Let's all work hard together."

After speaking, Ling Zhenfei began the alchemy process. He gently urged the Northern Spiritual Energy beneath, and a flame flared up from underneath the Pill Furnace. The flame was bright red but did not significantly change the surrounding temperature.
