Chapter 85 - Jian Xin's Apprehension

Zhou Yun’s speed of throwing the medicinal herbs increased, and his hands were moving so fast that they were blurry! It was completely different from the usual alchemist who would slowly put in the medicinal herbs and carefully take care of them. It was like he was playing around!

Jian Xin, who was secretly watching from a distance, was also stunned. He admitted that each different profession was like a mountain separating him from the others. He was only a swordsman, and he had reached the peak of sword Dao. Of the entire five sects, only a few people could surpass him. However, he didn’t have any talent in alchemy.

But even so, Jian Xin felt that Zhou Yun was just messing around!

How could it be possible for someone to refine pills by tossing in handfuls of medicinal herbs? The fire was so big that he would believe it if you said it was a stir-fry!

“Hey, hey, hey! What is that? Why did he just take a basket of medicinal herbs and pour it in? This isn’t a match! He’s refining pills!” When Jian Xin saw Zhou Yun pouring the basket of herbs into the alchemy furnace, he could not help but feel heartache even if he could kill cultivators and plunder the herbs with a smile!

The herbs that he had painstakingly gathered were actually wasted by Zhou Yun! That’s right, in Jian Xin’s eyes, he felt that Zhou Yun was defiling him!

“Don’t tell me that Junior Brother Zhou Yun actually hates me. He said he knew how to refine pills to fool me and needed my help to collect the herbs…” Jian Xin began to wonder if he really had a problem.

Zhou Yun was still continuously adding medicinal ingredients into the alchemy furnace. He didn’t know that Jian Xin had seen him refining pills, nor did he know that his actions had made Jian Xin doubt his life.

However, he did not stop. Instead, he became faster and more skilled.

In a short while, all the medicinal herbs were poured into the furnace. Zhou Yun even took a sip of the spiritual spring water and kept it in his mouth, then spurted it into the pot!

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, you should be very careful when refining pills! Think twice before you act! I know you hate me, but when you’re refining pills, you have to treat the ingredients well, okay? If I was a medicinal ingredient and knew that I would be refined like this, I would rather die and be trampled to death.” Jian Xin finally couldn’t take it anymore. He walked in front of Zhou Yun and tried to persuade him.

Even if Zhou Yun had no foundation in alchemy, he would still support him if he suddenly wanted to refine pills. He was happy for his junior brother’s growth! But he can’t play like this!

As Jian Xin spoke, he suddenly realized that Zhou Yun was still refining pills and did not even look at him.

At this moment, Jian Xin suddenly realized something.

Why hadn’t the alchemy furnace exploded?

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun?” Jian Xin took a step back because he realized that the fire under the alchemy furnace was slowly decreasing. Did this mean that the pill was ready to be refined?

“Open!” Zhou Yun circulated his spiritual energy in his palm and slapped the top of the alchemy furnace! The lid of the alchemy furnace suddenly opened, and a burst of golden light soared into the sky!

The pill for breaking through to the foundation establishment stage was far from being comparable to the pill for the Qi cultivation stage. Even after the pill was refined, it had some strange effects!

However, a pill refinement prodigy like Zhou Yun was extremely rare in the world of foundation establishment pills!

“I can’t believe he actually refined a pill! However, why wasn’t there any pill fragrance? Such a phenomenon should prove that the pill is close to perfection! Why can’t I smell the pill fragrance?” Jian Xin was stunned. He suddenly looked into the alchemy furnace.

At this moment, ten perfectly smooth, fiery-red pills were in the alchemy furnace.

These ten pills were incomparably smooth, and not a single flaw could be seen at all!

“It’s over… A perfect-tier pill! Spirit Valley actually produced a disciple who can refine a perfect-tier pill! Are you a glory disciple?” Jian Xin’s shocks came one after another!

He was just about to reach out and take a Hunyuan Blazing Flame Pill to take a good look at the legendary perfect-tier pill.

However, Zhou Yun’s hands were faster! He grabbed the ten pills, threw them all into his mouth, and swallowed them in one gulp, causing Jian Xin’s action to miss!

“You! Junior Brother Zhou Yun! You’re silly! I admit that I shouldn’t have doubted you! However, the medicinal properties of the Hunyuan Blazing Flame Pill were strong by themselves! If you swallow ten of them at once, the lightest consequence would be a rupture of your meridians, and the worst would be an explosion of your body! Come over quickly, I’ll help you vomit! You can still be saved now! Don’t die!” Jian Xin panicked again. He held a pot of spiritual spring water in his hand and wanted to help Zhou Yun vomit.

However, Zhou Yun ignored Jian Xin’s words. He sat down cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal effects of the Hunyuan Blazing Flame Pills.

It was fine if Jian Xin did not know. He knew Zhou Yun very well.

His body had already been tempered to the limit in the early-stage foundation establishment!

Not only was his spiritual energy ten times stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator, but his physique and meridians were also stronger than that of an ordinary cultivator!

Ordinary foundation establishment pills would not be of any use at all, not to mention that Zhou Yun still needed more pills to break through his stage. He needed to hone his strength to become even more powerful!

Therefore, besides powerful pills, Zhou Yun simply needed more of them!

Only when the quantity and the power of the pills were combined could Zhou Yun break through to the perfect mid-stage foundation establishment!

Zhou Yun did not care about Jian Xin, who was still trying to help him vomit. He focused all his attention on his body.

On the side, Jian Xin saw that Zhou Yun ignored him and entered a state of cultivation. There was no abnormality in his body. Only then did he feel at ease.

It turned out that Junior Brother Zhou Yun’s alchemy skills were so amazing. He even had a certain level of control over his own body!

The average person would not dare to directly swallow such a terrifying pill like ten Hunyuan Blazing Flame Pills before they had experimented with it!

However, Junior Brother Zhou Yun dared to swallow them. Jian Xin also felt a burst of admiration for Zhou Yun.

“Junior Brother Zhou Yun, if you had not been captured and brought to this place, if you had not been captured to the Avici Hell, you would have been a glorious disciple that everyone in the Spirit Valley would have paid attention to. Next should be the Five Sects Assembly. Just like me back then, you’ll become the most dazzling existence in the five sects!” Jian Xin muttered to himself. In the end, he still left slowly.

No one would disturb Zhou Yun in this place. Therefore, he left with a peace of mind.

However, in Jian Xin’s eyes, he could not bear to do so.

As a sword cultivator, he was born with a sword spiritual body. He knew that Zhou Yun was hiding his strength…

In this Avici Hell, no matter how strong you were, even if you broke through to the golden core stage, it was impossible to escape from the control of that heretic cultivator!

Jian Xin was filled with joy at Zhou Yun’s continuous growth in strength, but he also felt pity for Zhou Yun’s impending death.

He knew that as long as Zhou Yun broke through to the golden core stage, no matter how much Zhou Yun hid his strength, he would not be able to do so the moment Venerable Xunling came out.

That heretic cultivator would kill him and turn him into a zombie. After that, it was time for them to make a move on Venerable Xunling.

“If only you didn’t come out. It would be great if you were in the Spirit Valley. You just need to grow up happily.” Jian Xin said as he walked further and further away.
