Chapter 1426: Chapter 1385: Pill Formation

“It’s almost over… almost done…”

In the Blood Pool!

Standing at the center of the Blood Pool, Lu Chuan looked at the rapidly descending liquid level, feeling a surge of relief in his heart.

Since becoming familiar with the process, his speed in refining the Blood Pool had increased steadily. At this rate, it would be done in no more than four hours!

However, having delayed it for a full four days, Lu Chuan was genuinely worried about the situation with Yun Ji and Miao Conglu.

With so many people gathered outside, if the identities of the two were exposed, it would certainly cause unnecessary trouble. Moreover, their appearances were so alluring that Lu Chuan had no choice but to hasten his pace.

The Blood Pool connected seamlessly, continuously injecting into the Furnace Cauldron. Four days and nights of non-stop refining had already exhausted Lu Chuan both physically and mentally, pushing him to the brink of exhaustion.

But success was imminent!

As the liquid level descended to Lu Chuan’s knee height, perhaps it was an illusion, but he seemed to see something emerging from the Blood Pool not far away. While controlling the Nine Heavens Profound Fire to refine the Blood Pool, he approached to check and discovered a skeleton dyed red from long immersion in the Blood Pool!

Lu Chuan examined it closely. Although the skeleton had existed for over a millennium, its bone age appeared to be under a hundred years…

“Could it be an ordinary person?”

This left Lu Chuan even more puzzled.

Why would an ordinary person appear in the Blood Pool, and how was the skeleton so intact?

But before Lu Chuan could speak, Yun Yan preemptively spoke with a pleading tone, earnestly saying, “Lu Chuan, I beg you, could you take this skeleton out and bury it properly?”

“You… do you recognize him?”

“I… I will explain everything to you clearly. This is my last request, please.”

Having come to this point, Lu Chuan naturally wouldn’t refuse Yun Yan’s request. After storing the skeleton in the self-contained space within the Demon Suppression Pagoda, he focused entirely on refining the Blood Pill.

Finally!

After nearly five days, the entire Blood Pool was completely refined by Lu Chuan. The room was filled with a dense bloody odor as Lu Chuan threw the last ingredient into the Furnace Cauldron, fully activating the Nine Heavens Profound Fire!

Seeing the Furnace Cauldron tremble and even crack, Lu Chuan’s spirits lifted.

The elixir pill… it seemed it was about to form!

With two successive muffled explosions, the Furnace Cauldron was forcibly shattered. The cauldron that had accompanied Lu Chuan for so long finally gave its all, producing two Blood Pills for him!

Lu Chuan reached out his hand to take the two blood-red elixir pills, each the size of an eyeball, and suddenly laughed.

“I must say, it was worth the trip!”

Just feeling the rich power within the Blood Pills, Lu Chuan felt all the fatigue of the past days vanish. At this moment, he had no doubt Miao Conglu’s earlier claim that it would help him break through to Spirit Dividing in one go!

However, it’s still not the time to consume them. Lu Chuan must leave this place quickly!

Ascending along the staircase, Lu Chuan punched out, shattering the heavy iron door at the end, yet he did not see Yun Ji and Miao Conglu. Only a few corpses were sprawled around, with no obvious external injuries, clearly Yun Ji’s doing.

But where were they?

Lu Chuan furrowed his eyebrows, expanding his perception ability, searching inch by inch for the two women’s presence, but unfortunately, he didn’t detect anything!

“Could something unexpected have occurred?”

This thought had just emerged in Lu Chuan’s mind when he quickly dismissed it.

With Yun Ji’s strength, even if she encountered a powerful enemy, she would definitely cause a big scene to draw Lu Chuan’s attention. There’s absolutely no way anyone could quietly kill Yun Ji like that. Most likely, they hid somewhere.

But where did they hide?

Frowning, Lu Chuan checked the corpses briefly; their belongings had long been cleaned out, leaving no clues.

Fortunately, Yun Yan then spoke, pointing Lu Chuan in a direction.

“If that woman bearing the Miao surname truly knows where the Twin Bracelets are hidden, then they could have gone to the intriguing cemetery.”

“Cemetery? Also within the Imperial Palace?”

“Yes, within the cemetery, are buried those who have contributed to the Demon Tribe, of course, including my empty tomb. The last place they might have gone should be there.”

…

Meanwhile, in the cemetery!

Miao Conglu closely followed Yun Ji, nervously gulping.

She hadn’t expected to find such an eerie place within the Imperial Palace.

From outside it looked like an ordinary palace, but inside it was so bizarre.

The torches on the walls of the hall still burned, casting a ghastly blue light, appearing sinister and terrifying.

Each tombstone had a stone statue carved onto it, whether a Nine-tailed Fox, a monkey, a coiled giant python, or a bird poised to fly, and others, even some Miao Conglu had never heard of — the Demon Beasts.

“The Twin Bracelets… should be here.”

Miao Conglu’s voice was as faint as a mosquito’s; if it weren’t so hauntingly quiet here, Yun Ji wouldn’t have understood her at all.

“It’s just a cemetery, a bunch of bodies resting here, what’s there to be scared of?”

“This atmosphere… isn’t it truly frightening?”

“You aren’t afraid of Lu Chuan, yet you fear these?”

“I… I’m still an ordinary person after all, ordinary people will overthink things!”

Yun Ji rolled her eyes, unwilling to waste words with Miao Conglu, directly asking: “So, where exactly are the Twin Bracelets?”

“I can only vaguely sense that they’re nearby; as for specifics… I’m unsure.”

“Then what should we do? Do we have to search all these tombstones one by one?”

With at least a thousand tombstones on display here, how much time would it waste if they had to dig through each one?

“By the way, how can you perceive the aura of the Twin Bracelets, why can’t I?”

“Naturally, it’s due to this.”

As Miao Conglu spoke, the skin on her fingertip suddenly split open, and crimson blood poured forth, as an ant with antennas emerged from her flesh.

“This thing can sense a specific frequency emitted by objects; the stronger the frequency, the older the object. It’s based on this that I determined the Twin Bracelets are here. After all, according to records, the Twin Bracelets predate even the Demon Tribe itself, don’t they?”

“Are you sure this thing can be useful?”

Such a little Gu Insect was indeed surprisingly valuable, astonishing Yun Ji somewhat.

“Rest assured, I’ve never failed before. Anyway, let’s move deeper in; the Twin Bracelets aren’t nearby yet. Besides, with so much time passing, could it be possible that Lu Chuan has already…”
