Chapter 907 Stealing Medicine
Chen Yang had not been nervous when he first heard these words, but when he heard the word "furnace explosion," even the strongest of psychological defenses couldn't help but falter.
The medicinal ingredients in that pot of pills were countless precious herbs.
Coupled with the spiritual stones invested earlier, Chen Yang had spared no expense this time to refine pills that could restore his fundamental power.
However, before leaving, Chen Yang had made precise calculations. As long as there was no external interference, all the medicinal ingredients would be liquefied within the specified time and then condensed into pills.
By the time the pills condensed, he should have returned to Qingzhou City.
Logically speaking, every step of the pill refining process was correct, and there shouldn't have been any accidents.
Although Chen Shu had no experience in refining pills, her nature dictated that she wouldn't casually alter what Chen Yang had arranged.
Since the pills were for her to refine herself, she should have taken them seriously.
Thinking this, Chen Yang immediately realized.
Was the person who called him Zhou Zeyao?
Chen Yang knew that Zhou Zeyao was currently in Qingzhou City, but why would this fellow, with nothing better to do, tamper with the pill furnace he was using for refining?
"Where is Chen Shu? Isn't she by your side?"
"She's supposed to be in charge of the pill refining!"
Chen Shu's strength was immense. Even if something like a furnace explosion occurred, she could minimize the damage immediately, at least not harm anyone else.
This was why Chen Yang felt at ease leaving her alone to refine the pills.
At this moment, Zhou Zeyao was on the verge of tears.
Before Zhou Zeyao's eyes, the pill furnace was not only making noises but also emitting increasingly potent medicinal energy, like clouds gradually covering the entire room.
Zhou Zeyao dared not use any of his internal power, fearing that any movement would further destabilize the medicinal substances.
The pill refining room was located beneath the villa. If such immense power were to explode, it would not only affect the three demonic beasts breaking through their bottlenecks below but also potentially flatten the villa above.
Zhou Zeyao naturally wouldn't let such a thing happen. He could only use his spiritual power to cover the entire room. If an explosion were imminent, he would have to suppress it the moment he sensed it.
"She just went out. Before she left, following your notes, she threw three spirit stones under the furnace. It was fine at first!"
Zhou Zeyao felt that his luck had been utterly terrible today.
His internal power had only just recovered a little, and his spiritual power was still in the nurturing stage. If an explosion occurred, he feared he would be knocked back to his original state.
Upon hearing this answer, Chen Yang quickly reviewed the pill refining process in his mind.
The purpose of throwing those three spirit stones was to instantly increase the furnace's heat to melt a particular medicinal ingredient within the furnace.
With this thought, Chen Yang immediately understood what had happened.
"Don't worry, it's just two liquid medicinal ingredients in the furnace that are in conflict. Stay by the furnace for a while; the emanating medicinal energy will be beneficial to you."
"Oh, and Tea Mountain should still be with you, right? You can have him come out and absorb the medicinal energy with you."
Chen Yang's answer left Zhou Zeyao with some hesitation.
The trembling pill furnace before him did not look like it was fine at all.
It seemed as though it could explode at any second.
However, Zhou Zeyao suppressed his inner worries and called out Tea Mountain, who was within him.
After absorbing some of the emanating medicinal energy, Zhou Zeyao's eyes immediately changed.
Although Zhou Zeyao's spiritual power had fully awakened, it had been dormant for a long time and had been forcibly separated, naturally leaving it with significant flaws.
But after absorbing the medicinal energy emanating from the pill furnace, Zhou Zeyao found that his spiritual power felt incredibly comfortable.
This was a rare sensation!
Not only Zhou Zeyao but also Tea Mountain, who had just emerged, immediately sensed the effect of the medicinal energy.
"This feels so comfortable, like my whole body is immersed in warmth."
After hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Chen Yang gave a few brief instructions and hung up.
Chen Yang was still waiting for news from Zhu Jingye and the other two.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zeyao and Tea Mountain, who were absorbing the medicinal energy, were unaware that the medicinal energy in the room had already spread.
In a room not far from theirs, Wei Zhenru, who was resting and recuperating, opened his eyes in surprise.
The medicinal energy that drifted into Wei Zhenru's room, although diminished, was a nearly solidified white mist that could not escape his senses.
Initially, Wei Zhenru worried that the white medicinal mist floating in might be some kind of poison.
But then he thought, even if they disliked him, they wouldn't resort to such direct means.
Besides, the white mist was drifting in from outside!
Wei Zhenru could sense that this place was not specifically designed to imprison anything. He was likely just being held here temporarily. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to detect the presence of the pill furnace directly.
"What kind of pill are they refining? The medicinal energy leaked out directly? Is it a waste pill?" Wei Zhenru pondered and then took a deep breath.
The potent medicinal energy was directly absorbed into his body.
Upon sensing the medicinal energy within him, Wei Zhenru's eyes widened.
Such powerful medicinal energy was even stronger than any pill he had taken before.
Wei Zhenru believed that, with the strength of the Wei family, he was already considered an exceptional existence among martial artists.
He had been taught by various renowned masters since childhood and had access to countless precious pills.
Yet, even the best medicine he had taken before was far inferior to the potency of this single breath of medicinal energy.
The white mist in his eyes was merely what had emanated from the pill furnace.
The pill had not yet been formed.
For a moment, Wei Zhenru's complexion turned rosy.
Wei Zhenru couldn't imagine what kind of pill was being refined in that furnace.
However, in the next second, Wei Zhenru could no longer concern himself with that.
His priority was to absorb all the white mist around him!
As long as he could absorb this mist, Wei Zhenru believed that his injuries would significantly improve!
"Damn it, someone's secretly absorbing our medicinal energy!"
Upon sensing that someone else was absorbing it, Zhou Zeyao immediately became agitated.
He was the one diligently guarding the pill furnace here!
Who was this bastard, trying to snatch even this to absorb?
