Qingfeng Temple has experienced a rare moment of peace these past few days.
But Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake felt incredibly depressed.
"Sister, perhaps it's time for us to leave."
Cyan Snake, who had hesitated for a long time, finally spoke. Her cold eyes showed a trace of reluctance, yet they were full of helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen's long eyelashes fluttered, and she nodded slightly:
"It is time to leave..."
Her beautiful face revealed some sadness as her enchanting eyes swept around the quiet chamber, and she sighed deeply.
That day, Fa Hai gazed down upon the human world and had already seen her.
Once Fa Hai descends, he will certainly come looking for her again.
Staying here would bring a catastrophic disaster to Qingfeng Temple.
Cyan Snake bit her lip, her expression complicated as she said, "Let him... know."
Bai Suzhen looked at her sister in slight surprise and smiled with a nod.
The two of them then left the quiet chamber and made their way to the back mountain.
At that time, it was shrouded in white fog, like a light screen or a ripple; this was the barrier set by Lin Heng.
Since returning that day, Lin Heng had been inside it, never appearing.
He only had the Black Bear Spirit stand guard outside, preventing anyone from disturbing him.
"Hasn't the Observatory Master finished refining the elixir yet?"
Bai Suzhen asked with slight surprise. Lin Heng had informed everyone before setting up the barrier to isolate the aura that he would be refining elixirs for a few days.
"Not yet. I'm beginning to suspect Boss is in there sneaking some to eat!"
The Black Bear Spirit paced back and forth with its hands behind its back, looking puzzled.
It pondered that in the past, when Boss was refining elixirs, he never said he would do it secretly?
It's one thing to refine them secretly, but why has he not come out after several days this time?
"Could something have happened?"
Cyan Snake couldn't help but frown. Her typically cold and beautiful eyes showed clear panic.
Seeing this involuntary worry on her sister's face, Bai Suzhen's gaze subtly changed, and in her contemplative mind, a thought of leaving alone surfaced in her heart.
"The Observatory Master is unparalleled in his alchemy skills; nothing will happen."
Bai Suzhen comforted Cyan Snake.
But no sooner had her words fallen.
The previously clear sky, devoid of clouds, suddenly erupted with fierce winds as rolling black clouds surged forth.
At the same time, an oppressive divine might swiftly descended upon White Cliff Mountain.
"What the heck, the Black Mountain Demon?"
The Black Bear Spirit jumped up in fright, its face panic-stricken.
Cyan Snake glanced at it speechlessly before turning her thoughtful gaze to the sky, her expression solemn as she said:
"This is a celestial tribulation!"
Six hundred years ago, when that ancestor of Wudang ascended.
Although he had already gone to a distant desolate place to avoid the mundane world.
There were still many ancient beings coming to observe.
By chance, she was present.
"A celestial tribulation?"
The Black Bear Spirit showed a trace of confusion.
"Indeed, it's a celestial tribulation!"
Bai Suzhen nodded but had some confusion in her beautiful eyes.
"It's undoubtedly a celestial tribulation, yet something feels different again."
Cyan Snake was momentarily stunned upon hearing this and, after sensing the divine might, couldn't help but say, "It is somewhat off."
At this point, the Black Bear Spirit was even more bewildered.
"Wait, why is there a celestial tribulation all of a sudden?"
"And it seems like the celestial tribulation is directed at us?"
Bai Suzhen shook her head, her gaze shifting to the barrier where the Observatory Master was refining pills, and she said in a deep voice:
"It's aimed at the Observatory Master!"
The Black Bear Spirit was stunned, incredulously saying: "What do you mean? Is Boss about to ascend?"
"..."
Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake twitched the corners of their mouths, too lazy to bother with it anymore.
Meanwhile, within the barrier.
Lin Heng was watching the pill furnace with a grave expression. At his command, the extremely smooth Ninth Grade Elixir slowly ascended from the furnace opening.
It floated in mid-air, rising and falling like a sprite.
It was precisely due to its emergence that the rolling black clouds came surging, and this realm was instantly enveloped by genuine divine might!
This force was much more terrifying than when Lin Heng used the Five Thunders Righteous Method!
The Ninth Grade Golden Core, which had already reached its peak, trembled violently like a demon under the Five Thunders Righteous Method, the upward momentum abruptly stopped, and it turned to flee back into the pill furnace.
"You damn thing!"
Lin Heng, shocked, unleashed profanity.
Luckily, at that moment, the Innate Qi Divine Furnace suddenly erupted with the Five-Colored Divine Fire, enveloping the timid pill directly, and sent it up into the sky like the wind over the Yi River.
"Good heavens!"
Seeing this, Lin Heng couldn't help but laugh.
This Immortal Furnace naturally had the effect of independently refining pills, but Lin Heng didn't expect it to 'escort' the pill as well?
One has to admit.
This Innate Qi Divine Furnace is indeed impressive.
Not only can it independently refine pills, but it can also enhance the success rate of pill refinement by hundreds of times. When it's not being used for alchemy, it can serve as an Immortal Artifact to defeat opponents.
The cost-effectiveness is truly beyond words.
Lin Heng watched the sky.
At this moment, the entire White Cliff Mountain was howling with fierce winds.
Countless trees and leaves had been swept into the sky, where the black clouds were growing more chaotic, and bolts of purple thunderbolts were accumulating their might, occasionally flashing with blinding lightning like a True Dragon lurking in the sea of clouds, appearing briefly and then disappearing.
Boom!
At this moment, a deafening sound echoed.
The celestial tribulation finally descended.
Purple thunderbolts, like a giant dragon famished to the extreme, carrying a terrifying force that sought to devour everything, surged towards the pill.
The Golden Core shivered like a headless fly, trembling incessantly in the air.
Trying to escape.
The Five-Colored Divine Fire enveloped it tightly, even directly propelling it to meet the thunder head-on!
Lin Heng could almost feel the Golden Core's fear at this moment.
Boom!
The celestial thunder struck.
It hit the Golden Core dead-on, followed by an explosion of dazzling purple light.
The Golden Core was knocked several hundred meters down before it stopped.
The purple thunderbolts also gradually dissipated.
Obviously.
The first layer of celestial thunder was withstood by the Golden Core.
This golden pill now bore a trace of a purple imprint.
This seemed to have enraged the divine might; the thunderclouds in the sky became more chaotic, layer upon layer of celestial tribulation rushed down, the howling wind like the roar of a Celestial God, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"What the heck!"
"Is the pill undergoing a celestial tribulation?"
"Is Boss secretly refining an Immortal Pill?"
At that moment, the barrier Lin Heng used to isolate the aura had vanished after the first celestial tribulation struck.
When the scene inside was revealed, it made both Bai Suzhen and Cyan Snake cover their mouths.
The Black Bear Spirit was stunned, its round eyes nearly popping out, its mind buzzing, incredulously staring at the Golden Core in the sky, never imagining that this time Boss was refining an Immortal Pill?
An Immortal Pill!
No one has managed to refine it for two thousand years!
The closest recorded event to this era was the Dragon Tiger Pill refined by Zhang Daoling, the patriarch of Dragon and Tiger Mountain, before his ascension!
Yet now, the scene in front of the Black Bear Spirit told it.
Its own Boss was actually refining an Immortal Pill?
How could it believe it, how dare it believe it?
