Ye Lingyuan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he sneered, "I knew you were going to cheat!"
At the same time, the Five Elements spiritual power in his bodyOutput madly, and in an instant, the Five Elements spiritual power ball was condensed.
Judging by its size, it was no different from Yi Ran's multicolored spiritual power ball, which showed how precise Ye Lingyuan's control over spiritual power was.
Soon, the two spiritual power balls collided, making a loud noise that shook the ground.
After the sound, a three-meter-deep and one-meter-wide pit appeared on the ground.
Yi Ran stared at the deep pit on the ground, frozen in place.
To deter Ye Lingyuan, she had directly extracted one ten-thousandth of the energy from the Vast Heavenly Formation. That was one ten-thousandth of the energy accumulated by the Vast Heavenly Formation for a hundred thousand years!
But Ye Lingyuan so easily blocked this one ten-thousandth of energy. How powerful was he? Was this still a Saint King realm expert?
Little did she know that Ye Lingyuan was not feeling well at all, with a mouthful of blood surging up his throat.
But to prevent Yi Ran from seeing his true strength, Ye Lingyuan swallowed the blood back down.
Then, the corners of his lips curled up, and he said, "Five Elements Binding God Net, condense!"
Five Elements Binding God Net! It was the Five Elements version of the Golden Sword Binding God Silk.
As Ye Lingyuan's cold voice fell, the spiritual power elements that remained after the explosion quickly condensed into a net and ensnared the stunned Yi Ran.
Yi Ran, being too shocked, had forgotten about this pseudo-divine ability of Ye Lingyuan.
By the time she snapped back to reality, she had already been caught by the Five Elements Binding God Net, and only then did she realize she had fallen into a trap.
Yi Ran's face turned unsightly, and she instinctively struggled.
However, the spiritual power on the Five Elements Binding God Net, due to the principle of mutual generation and restraint, formed a special energy body, and its power was on par with the multicolored energy of the Vast Heavenly Formation.
Therefore, despite struggling for a long time, Yi Ran's efforts were in vain.
She looked at Ye Lingyuan angrily and said resentfully, "You cheated!"
Ye Lingyuan slowly walked to a distance of one zhang from Yi Ran and sneered, "This king is merely using your own methods against you!"
Yi Ran was rendered speechless by his retort and could only glare at him, turning her head away obstinately.
Ye Lingyuan paid no attention to her stubbornness and asked with sharp eyes, "Where is she?"
Yi Ran tilted her head, completely ignoring Ye Lingyuan.
Her meaning was clear: I will not tell you, and what can you do to me?
Ye Lingyuan was amused by Yi Ran's demeanor.
This woman showed no awareness of being a prisoner.
However, after their brief exchange, Ye Lingyuan had already guessed some of the facts.
To confirm, he narrowed his eyes again and asked, "She is nearby, right?"
Yi Ran turned her head in disbelief, her eyes wide as she stared at Ye Lingyuan, clearly asking, "How did you know?"
Seeing her expression, Ye Lingyuan smiled faintly and said, "It seems I guessed correctly! She must be somewhere in the Goddess Temple."
Yi Ran proudly raised her head.
Ye Lingyuan's lips curved upwards, and he continued, "Oh, not in the Goddess Temple? Then she must be related to the Goddess Temple!"
Yi Ran looked at Ye Lingyuan again in surprise.
Her reaction further confirmed Ye Lingyuan's guess.
Having obtained the answer he wanted, Ye Lingyuan's mood improved considerably.
He asked with a gentle smile, "Is she safe?"
Yi Ran nodded and said, "Safe!"
After saying this, even she found it unbelievable. Hadn't she just revealed her master's whereabouts to Ye Lingyuan?
Ye Lingyuan nodded and asked, "When can I see her?"
He suddenly longed to see that woman who always glared at him with defiance.
People often say: "A day without seeing each other feels like three years."
But for Ye Lingyuan, it became "a day without seeing each other feels like thirty years!"
Yi Ran sighed and thought to herself, "Forget it, since I've already let the cat out of the bag, it doesn't matter if I say a little more."
So, she said with some dejection, "Three days at the shortest, half a month at the longest!"
Ye Lingyuan frowned and asked, "Oh? So long? What is she doing?"
"Alchemy!"
Yi Ran was somewhat resigned, thinking that since this King of Hell harbored no ill will towards her master, it was fine to reveal it.
"Alchemy?"
A hint of surprise flashed in Ye Lingyuan's eyes. This woman truly never ceased to surprise him!
Yi Ran nodded and said, "Yes!"
Ye Lingyuan looked thoughtfully at the Goddess Temple and said, "In that case, this king will wait for her here!"
Saying so, he turned and walked towards the Goddess Temple.
"Hey, don't go! Let me go!"
Yi Ran shouted anxiously.
Ye Lingyuan ignored her and strode into the Goddess Temple in a few steps.
Yi Ran stomped her foot in annoyance as she watched his retreating figure disappear.
Just as she was about to curse Ye Lingyuan, she found that the Binding God Net on her had vanished, which stunned her again.
Xue Ying found it amusing but dared not laugh. Taking advantage of Yi Ran's momentary shock, she slipped into the Goddess Temple.
However, she did not dare to approach Ye Lingyuan, who was by the left side of the temple entrance. Instead, she sat down by the right side of the temple entrance and began cultivating the "Water Spirit Record."
When Yi Ran returned to the Goddess Temple, she saw Ye Lingyuan and Xue Ying sitting cross-legged on either side, apparently having entered a state of cultivation.
She glared at Ye Lingyuan hatefully and then disappeared into the Goddess Temple.
Ye Lingyuan opened his eyes, smiled faintly, and then resumed his cultivation.
Zi Linling had originally planned to rest for half a day before continuing to refine the six main medicinal ingredients.
However, due to her excessive use of spiritual energy, she slept for an entire day once she fell asleep.
Therefore, by the time Zi Linling woke up, it was already the night of the fourth day.
She blamed herself and shook her head. Then, she took out the Soul Returning Grass, Ghost Lotus, Dragon Coiling Ginseng, Scarlet Flame Fruit, Bone Cleansing Flower, and Blood Condensing Grass from her Nine Spirit Ring and divided them into two groups.
Then, she began to ignite the furnace and warm it up. While warming the furnace, she recalled the precautions for refining these six medicinal ingredients.
When the furnace temperature reached the required level, she put in a stalk of Soul Returning Grass and began to refine it with all her concentration.
This refining process took three hours, and only then did she successfully refine the Soul Returning Grass into medicinal liquid without any danger.
Zi Linling poured the refined medicinal liquid into a pre-prepared bottle and asked Huang Yi to watch the furnace fire, while she sat aside to recover her soul power.
After she fully recovered her soul power, she discovered that her soul power had actually grown a little, and she couldn't help but feel a bit pleasantly surprised.
So, alchemy had such benefits! This made Zi Linling even more fascinated by alchemy.
This time, she was going to refine the Ghost Lotus. Su Dan Novel Network
The Ghost Lotus, as its name suggests, is shaped like a lotus and is a medicinal herb that grows in extremely yin places. After refinement, it can increase the toughness of the meridians.
