Chapter 243 Alchemist Yan Fuhai
Upon entering Thunder Island, Ye Xiaobai discovered that the power of lightning on the island's perimeter was limited and certainly insufficient to support Zishan's breakthrough to the eighth rank.
In the distance, the central area of Thunder Island clearly felt the power of lightning was even stronger. As a late-stage Core Formation cultivator, even he couldn't help but feel a little fear in the face of such lightning power.
If Zishan wants to successfully break through to the eighth rank, he must find a way to enter the core area of Thunder Island.
After taking the poison pill, Ye Xiaobai followed Shark Second into the depths of Thunder Island.
During the journey, Ye Xiaobai did not forget to secretly take an antidote to suppress the poison.
In a short while, we arrived at a bumpy, potholed area.
Shark Boss had only taken a few steps into this area when he suddenly stepped on the ground, revealing a hidden entrance to everyone.
There was a protective array at the underground entrance. Shark Second took out a token and stuck it at the entrance of the array. With a "buzz", the array opened a gap.
"Let's go!" Shark Second said calmly.
Upon entering the underground space, there was no feeling of darkness or dampness; instead, it was bright and warm.
Illuminating stone pillars were set up on both sides of the passage, with pebble-sized crystals placed on top of them. The light was generated by the discharge of electricity from the crystals.
The air was filled with a strange smell of medicinal pills, mixed with a strong stench of blood.
The sight of elixirs and blood made Ye Xiaobai sense something was wrong.
Could it be that they captured me to be used as alchemy material?
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai broke out in a cold sweat. He should have just taken action outside.
Now that we're already here, we can only take it one step at a time.
The underground space was quite large. After a few turns, Shark Boss Two stopped, but Ye Xiaobai could clearly feel that the smell of blood had become even stronger.
The smell of the elixir was so strong that it couldn't be suppressed.
"arrive!"
Ye Xiaobai also stopped in his tracks, and was immediately startled by the scene before him.
In the center of the room stood a pill furnace as tall as a person, with four blood pools, each about a meter wide, at its four corners.
In the center of the blood pool lay the lifeless corpses of four Foundation Establishment cultivators. The clothes on the corpses looked vaguely familiar—they were disciples of the Qingxia Sect!
I don't know what they're doing with the corpses of Qingxia Sect disciples!
Beside the alchemy furnace stood a middle-aged cultivator with disheveled hair.
This person was none other than Master Yan, as mentioned by Shark Second, whose real name was Yan Fuhai.
"Master Yan, I've brought you a young alchemist. Do you think he's suitable?" Shark Second asked respectfully.
Yan Fuhai's previously cloudy eyes instantly lit up. He looked up and stared intently at Ye Xiaobai, asking calmly, "Not bad, you've already reached the early stage of Core Formation. What grade of alchemist are you?"
As they spoke, Ye Xiaobai also saw the cultivation level of the person opposite him. They were already at the peak of the late Core Formation stage, only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage.
Ye Xiaobai really didn't have much of a chance against this person.
"A sixth-grade alchemist," Ye Xiaobai said calmly.
"Oh, if you really are a sixth-grade alchemist, then I might spare your life." Yan Fuhai then turned to Shark Second and said, "Brother Shark, this guy is not bad. Thank you for your hard work. Next month's share of pills will definitely be half a portion more!"
"Master Yan, you're too kind. We're all family!" Shark Second Brother said excitedly upon hearing this.
Soon, Shark Two left with the other lesser demons.
Only Ye Xiaobai and Yan Fuhai remained.
"Come on, kid, this is a Gathering Yuan Pill. If you can't refine it in an hour, you know what the consequences will be!" Yan Fuhai said, glancing at the corpse in the blood pool beside him.
"no problem!"
After Ye Xiaobai finished speaking, he took out the alchemy furnace and began to refine the Gathering Yuan Pill.
With Ye Xiaobai's current strength, he can refine almost all of the Gathering Yuan Pills to the highest grade. In order to hide his alchemy skills, Ye Xiaobai still put in some effort and made himself sweat profusely.
In this way, it would take a mere hour to refine a low-grade Gathering Yuan Pill.
"Look at you, all sweaty. You just advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist not long ago, right?" Yan Fuhai said with a disdainful look.
"I just advanced to the sixth-grade alchemist a month ago!" Ye Xiaobai wiped the sweat from his forehead with an air of importance.
"You barely pass! Come on, I'll take you to where you usually refine pills." Yan Fuhai said, then led Ye Xiaobai away.
As Yan Fu walked along the seashore, he didn't forget to warn, "Second Brother Shark, you've already told me that you've taken the poison pill I specially concocted. Don't even think about sneaking away. I'll give you an antidote pill every month, and I guarantee you'll live for five or ten years without any problems!"
"What do you mean, live for five or ten years? I want to live for several more years! Shouldn't it be hundreds or thousands of years?" Ye Xiaobai could only grumble to himself.
Faced with Yan Fuhai, Ye Xiaobai could only obediently stay where he was for the time being.
Soon, Yan Fuhai led Ye Xiaobai to an underground room, but it was only a dozen square meters in size, with only a bed and no other furniture.
"Alright, this is it. These are the materials for the Gathering Yuan Pill. I'll come back to collect the pill in three days!" Yan Fuhai said before turning and leaving.
He took a few steps and then turned back to warn, "Don't wander around. There are demon cultivators everywhere outside. Be careful or you'll lose your life!"
"Okay!" Ye Xiaobai could only agree.
If we don't go out for a stroll, how will we find an escape route?
Ye Xiaobai naturally ignored what Yan Fuhai said. However, he should behave himself for the next few days. Once he got to know the people better, he might be able to find a chance to sneak out.
We must not forget that this trip was to help Zishan break through and advance. Although we have now entered Thunder Island, it is still a bit troublesome to figure out how to get Zishan into the central area of Thunder Island without being discovered.
"I'll put these troublesome things aside for now," Ye Xiaobai immediately jumped onto the bed, knowing he wouldn't be sleeping.
Ye Xiaobai's primary task is to neutralize the toxicity of the poison pill in his body.
An hour later, Ye Xiaobai successfully refined most of the toxins in his body. However, to prevent Master Yan from noticing anything amiss, Ye Xiaobai still retained some.
It was not fully refined.
Then Ye Xiaobai began refining the Gathering Yuan Pill, a task left to him by Master Yan.
This pill is only a sixth-grade pill, and it has no effect on the late stage of Core Formation. Ye Xiaobai was very curious as to why Master Yan had so many Gathering Yuan Pills made.
Curiosity aside, Ye Xiaobai still had to refine it; he didn't want to attract Master Yan's attention right now.
The next day, Ye Xiaobai successfully completed the refining of the pills. The only problem was controlling the quality of the pills so that they weren't too high.
Ye Xiaobai then began his secluded cultivation, as it was safer to keep a low profile since he had just arrived.
Sure enough, nothing happened in the next few days.
On the third day, Master Yan sent a telepathic message to Ye Xiaobai, instructing him to deliver the pills.
Ye Xiaobai originally wanted to see what Master Yan wanted the pill for, but Master Yan directly told Ye Xiaobai to return to his room and continue refining the pill.
With no other option, Ye Xiaobai had to obediently return to refining pills.
Three weeks passed just like that, and Ye Xiaobai still had no chance to go out. Zishan even started to complain that when they arrived at their destination, he wouldn't be allowed to break through.
Ye Xiaobai explained repeatedly that the breakthrough could only be attempted without being discovered by others, otherwise it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.
Just as Ye Xiaobai was anxiously wondering how to go outside and investigate.
Shark No. 2 ran to Ye Xiaobai's place.
"Hey, Fellow Daoist Shark, what brings you here?" Ye Xiaobai asked curiously.
“One of my brothers was injured by a human cultivator while he was out. He originally asked Master Yan to refine some healing pills, but Master Yan is busy refining other pills at the moment.”
"I don't have time right now, so let me come to you to refine pills!"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobai immediately felt that his opportunity had arrived.
"Then shouldn't we go check on your brother's injuries so we can refine the appropriate elixir?" Ye Xiaobai countered.
"This……"
