Rebirth Of The Supreme Celestial Being (201-400)

316- Refining the Pill Furnace

Soul Plate was a little proud.

This was indeed his chosen successor.

Lin Xuanzhi then asked in astonishment, “When did you become like this?”

Soul Plate was a little dissatisfied and mocked in a drooping voice, “You actually just noticed this? That’s a little too much.”

Lin Xuanzhi sighed emotionally. He finally saw Soul Plate appear as a soul plate again.

Moreover, Soul Plate’s state meant that he could enter the pocket dimension inside.

Soul Plate could feel Lin Xuanzhi’s thoughts and couldn’t help crying out, “Don’t even think about it — that’s this Venerable’s territory!”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled and coaxed patiently and systematically, “Don’t be like this; although the territory is yours, I’m afraid it’s completely desolate save for some weeds and deserts. If you let me in to renovate, perhaps by this time next year, your space will already be full of spiritual plants and forged stones, and it’s not impossible to raise a few demonic beasts either.”

Soul Plate was a little tempted. His territory inside the soul plate really was full of weeds. It wasn’t obvious before when he was still a soul bead, but now that his space had opened up and expanded, he felt that the weeds were more and more of an eyesore.

If he could have some living things there, that also didn’t seem bad?

Soul Plate thought for a moment, “This Venerable needs to think about it carefully. Brat, I need to see how you’ll curry favors with me first — don’t you forget that you actually used up all of this Venerable’s forged stones hoard by refining such a stupid furnace!”

Lin Xuanzhi smiled but didn’t speak. He continued to put finishing touches on the pill furnace.

People deep in the mountains couldn’t tell whether it was day or night.

Fierce Gale Cliff was like a small, independent world. People outside knew nothing about what happened inside.

Outside Fierce Gale Cliff, Yan Tianhen had almost become an Amah Rock.

“Ah Hen, it’s time to eat.” Duan Yuyang came over and patted Yan Tianhen on the shoulder.

Yan Tianhen blankly turned towards Duan Yuyang, staring at him with a pair of bluish-black panda eyes. His entire person seemed to have gone on a mental journey traversing the great emptiness.

Duan Yuyang sighed helplessly and rubbed Yan Tianhen’s head. “Ah Hen, you can’t go on like this day after day. Nobody knows when your Dage will come out either. Do you want him to see you like this when he comes out?”

Yan Tianhen’s focus finally gathered together, and he almost jumped up in shock. Dumbstruck, he exclaimed, “Yuyang Gege? How’d you get back…you, when did you come back?”

“I just came to Profound Sky Sect today. Originally, I was going to go with your Brother Tianwen to Breaking Sword Peak to pay respects to his master. Unexpectedly, I heard about this incident, so I ran over here without stopping.”

“Then what about Yuan Tianwen?”

“He went back to see his master first. He’s been away for almost two months. He has to handle many of Breaking Sword Peak’s matters.”

As Duan Yuyang spoke, his face darkened and his eyes narrowed as he stared at Yan Tianhen. “Brat, I heard that you’re playing self-abuse? What, is it fun?”

Yan Tianhen scratched his head and replied with some embarrassment, “I didn’t abuse myself. I was just too worried and lost a bit of appetite recently.”

“You call that losing a little appetite?” Esteemed Huai Yu’s expression was as dark as the bottom of a pot. He grabbed Yan Tianhen’s back collar. “Get your ass out of here and go eat for Laozi. Don’t let your imagination run wild with all sorts of nonsense here.”

Yan Tianhen’s lips twitched and he looked slightly depressed.

Duan Yuyang looked at Esteemed Huai Yu. He’d also heard about Yan Tianhen accepting a Master before. When he saw that Esteemed Huai Yu’s concern for Yan Tianhen didn’t seem fake, he was very relieved.

Yan Tianhen touched his dried-out stomach and felt that it was indeed time for him to eat something. He stood up, “Master, Brother Yuyang, come and eat some food with me.”

Esteemed Huai Yu rolled his eyes at him. “I’ve already eaten a long time ago; you two go.”

Thus, Duan Yuyang pulled Yan Tianhen along and walked towards the nearby building together.

Wan Yitong had cooked a lot of delicious food. When he saw Duan Yuyang and Yan Tianhen, he blinked at them. “Come and try this Senior Martial Brother’s skills. This one is–“

“Duan Yuyang.” Duan Yuyang answered frankly.

Wan Yitong paused and stared at him. “So you are Duan Yuyang. I used to only know him by name, but today I can finally see him in the flesh.”

Duan Yuyang was stunned, “Am I very famous?”

This shouldn’t be? Nowadays, low-key people like him were rare.

Wan Yitong spoke meaningfully, “Yuan Tianwen’s status in our Profound Sky Sect isn’t simply ‘high’, and the number of martial brothers and sisters with a crush on him isn’t simply ‘a lot’. Besides, he also attacked Han Yuran because of you before, which caused much publicity. I’m afraid it will be difficult for Little Gentleman Duan to not be famous.”

Duan Yuyang laughed mischievously, “You’re too kind, too kind.”

Wan Yitong, “…”

He reckoned that this was also an eccentric.

When Yan Tianhen saw Duan Yuyang, he had someone to rely on for support. After eating a few bites of rice, he thought it was very delicious and ate more.

Wan Yitong touched his chin, “Little Martial Brother had already been in secluded cultivation for a month now; wonder how things are now.”

Yan Tianhen withered again and lost his appetite.

Duan Yuyang frowned, “You shouldn’t have mentioned Lin Xuanzhi.”

Wan Yitong lamented his mistake, “My fault.”

Yan Tianhen sighed, “I don’t know how Dage is doing right now.”

Wan Yitong comforted, “He should be alright, otherwise Master won’t be able to sit still. However, I don’t know how long we’ll have to wait for this secluded cultivation to end. It won’t do for you to keep watch outside every day.”

“Yeah.” Duan Yuyang also nodded, “Isn’t it nothing more than a closed-door cultivation to advance to the next stage? Yet you’re so terribly worried; your Dage will definitely laugh at you if he heard this.”

“I know,” Yan Tianhen hung his head, somewhat depressed, “but I just can’t calm down.”
