Chapter 597: Chapter 533: Risking Life for Alchemy

There are no two leaves exactly alike in this world, nor are there two people who are exactly alike.

Some people shrink back in fear when they face difficulties; others rise to meet them.

Some people turn back after hitting the south wall; others choose to knock it down.

Ye Fan belonged to the second category.

From childhood to adulthood, he had always been a very decisive person, who would do everything possible to finish any task he set his mind on.

Chu Xuanji had watched Ye Fan grow up and knew his character like the back of his hand.

Therefore, when Ye Fan was determined to take the risk of vanishing into oblivion by crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill, he finally agreed, but told Ye Fan to wait another three days, to see if he could sense the crimson Golden Crown within that time.

Time flowed like water, and three days blinked past.

Swish!

In the early morning, as a streak of white appeared in the distant sky, Ye Fan opened his eyes, ending a night of Meditation Cultivation; his blood was vigorous, and his spiritual energy was in its prime condition.

"Awoo~"

As usual, upon seeing Ye Fan stop his Meditation Cultivation, Little Wolf instantly howled at the sky, the sound echoing long and loud over the expanse of Ao Xiang Villa.

"Still unable to sense that mysterious crimson Golden Crown?" After the howling stopped, Chu Xuanji asked anxiously.

This was the sixth time he had repeated the question in the past three days.

The previous five times, Ye Fan had shaken his head.

This time.

Ye Fan still shook his head, "No."

Hearing Ye Fan’s words, Chu Xuanji’s last bit of hope was crushed; he remained silent, his expression extremely grave.

"Old man, we should stick to the original plan, there shouldn’t be a problem."

Seeing this, Ye Fan wore a brilliant smile, both to reassure Chu Xuanji and to relieve his own pressure, thus facing everything that was about to happen with composure.

"Sigh..."

Chu Xuanji sighed deeply, ultimately not wasting his breath to persuade Ye Fan to give up.

Ye Fan smiled, then took out a special communicator to contact Chu Ji.

Crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill required not only the Yin Spirit Flower, Immortal Grass, Sky Cold Mushroom, and Snow Lotus King but also some additional materials, which were to be delivered by Chu Ji this morning.

"Aunt, when will you arrive at the villa?"

Upon connecting the call, Ye Fan directly asked, seemingly unable to wait any longer.

"I’ve just landed and am waiting for your dad at the airport, "Chu Ji responded.

"Waiting for my dad?" Ye Fan was startled.

"Yes."

Chu Ji explained, "Your dad learned that you were crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill today and was somewhat worried. He rushed over specially from the Southeast Asia Special Zone, planning to witness it personally. His flight will arrive in half an hour, and we should be able to get there before eight o’clock."

"Understood."

Ye Fan said, feeling secretly relieved that he hadn’t told Chu Ji about being unable to sense the crimson Golden Crown inside him, as she would likely have told Ye Wenhao.

If Ye Wenhao were to learn of it, to ensure Ye Fan’s safety, he would definitely stop him from crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill.

"Master, when my dad comes, please don’t tell him about my inability to sense the crimson Golden Crown." After hanging up, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then spoke to Chu Xuanji.

Hmm?

Upon hearing this, Chu Xuanji seemed reminded, his eyes lighting up.

"Master, you should know, even if my dad tries to stop me, I will eventually craft the Lifespan Extension Pill. I just don’t want him to worry excessively." Noticing Chu Xuanji’s reaction, Ye Fan felt compelled to clarify his stance again.

Upon hearing Ye Fan’s words again, the light in Chu Xuanji’s eyes gradually dimmed, and he said no more.

At six o’clock, Su Yuxin, Situ Ruoshui, Su Jindi, and Pan Jueming all arrived at Villa No. 7.

They knew that Ye Fan was crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill today and wanted to witness it firsthand.

"Brother Xiao Fan, is that the Medicine Furnace?"

Seeing the black Medicine Furnace on the Jade stone, Situ Ruoshui asked with curiosity, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded. The Medicine Furnace on the Jade stone was a three-legged furnace that had been passed down from the Ancient Cultivation World. It was infused with the Taoist concept of "one begets two, two beget three, three beget all things," symbolizing that this furnace could craft all things.

However—

Despite the high aspirations of the person who crafted this furnace, due to their limited abilities, it was ultimately made into a Mid-level Magical Artifact.

"It seems really interesting"

Situ Ruoshui blinked her watery large eyes, her delicate, flawless doll-like face filled with curiosity, "Brother Xiao Fan, will you teach me Alchemy later?"

"Yes."

Ye Fan nodded with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Ye Fan’s face, both Chu Xuanji and Su Yuxin felt even heavier—only they knew that not only did Ye Fan not have a handle on crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill, but he also faced the risk of losing his life!

At seven-thirty, a Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the entrance of the villa, and the gatekeeper, recognizing the visitors as Chu Ji and Ye Wenhao, immediately allowed them in.

Shortly, the Rolls-Royce Phantom arrived at the entrance of Villa No. 7. Chu Ji and Ye Wenhao stepped out of the car one after another, and Ye Fan, along with Su Yuxin and the others, came forward to greet them.

"Dad, crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill requires seventy-seven forty-nine hours. You have so much to do on your end; there’s no need to watch here."

After Su Yuxin and the others had greeted them, Ye Fan thought for a moment, and spoke. Deep down, he did not wish for Ye Wenhao to watch him perform the Alchemy, as it would put pressure on him.

"The ancient books record that crafting the Lifespan Extension Pill will trigger a Heavenly Tribulation, forming the legendary Dan Tribulation. I’m worried, so I came to watch. As for work, don’t worry about it, I’ve already arranged everything."
