The Way of The Dao

Chapter 700 Brother, I Need Your Help!

* Fwoosh~ *

A wave of scorching heat flooded an extremely spacious room, filling every corner and space with an almost tangible fire. Needless to say, even the grassy and fragrant aroma emanated in the place as well, but it was rewritten by the intense heat in the place.

"Add more spiritual energy! If you let the aura keep leaking more and more we will fail!"

Suddenly, an old but tired voice was heard as a powerful energy swept through the place, slightly lessening the heat.

A huge cauldron with a cover on its surface was placed in the middle of the room, while around it stood several people. The intense and terrifying heat that could be felt came from this huge cauldron, while flames engulfed it from below and various auras covered it completely, trying to prevent whatever was inside from coming out and blowing the cover off.

"You think I don't try to do that, Master Fengta? My range is bigger than yours because I had to cover your carelessness from a while back in the first place!"

An old man in his 70s with a white beard who seemed to be the one who was scolded by the first voice exclaimed seriously and wearily towards Master Fengta as well. As he sat in front of the furnace in the middle, his spirit sense again covered the furnace in the middle as his cultivation essence rose again.

"If you hadn't rushed to add the Icy Maple Leaf Grass we wouldn't be in trouble now!" Master Fengta did not lag behind and retorted, unwilling to accept the blame. His long beard between gray and white dripped with sweat that exuded his entire body, from his forehead to his feet as the cultivation energy flowed madly into his body and flowed towards the cauldron in the middle.

Suddenly, a powerful spirit sense combined with a smooth cultivation essence covered the cauldron in the middle, adding one more layer of protection. This caused the furnace that was trembling from within to calm down greatly while the flames around it calmed down, stabilizing the situation for a moment.

"Masters, can you focus please? We can discuss the mistakes and oversights later once we are done. If you continue to get distracted, we might fail to create this pill, and there's no need to remind you of all that it has cost us to get to this point..."

Then, a young but full of vigor and powerful voice spread out in the room, reaching the ears of both old men who were arguing.

"Master Daihang."

"You are right, Vice President Daihang! This old man was too careless."

The other white-bearded, grizzled old man's name was Woo Chin. His tired and agitated mind calmed down once he understood the words, realizing that they only had this one chance to realize this pill!

This group of three men were creating a powerful pill together!

Already this was the fifth day they would pass and finish the pill!

"Why don't they manage to mix and refine? At this rate everything will fail!" Elder Woo Chin exclaimed helplessly as he added the last traces of cultivation essence. His spirit senses could see inside the furnace that the refined liquids were beginning to clash and not mix properly, creating an imbalance altogether and causing the furnace to begin to shake and want to explode from the intense amount of pent up energy! There were even grasses and liquids that were completely unrefined!

Daihang Guan finally gritted his teeth somewhat tightly, his expression becoming more stern and serious. Finally the last step was happening but they were about to fail. He was the main pill creator who carried the most weight and work unlike the other two, Daihang Guan began to feel deeply tired.

"We can't withdraw the refined liquids either! It can't be done!"

The cauldron in the center was shaking more and more, still being enveloped by the energies of the three of them.

Suddenly, the door opened, taking the attention of everyone in the place slightly off-center and causing the cauldron to shake even more.

"Who dares to interrupt at this crucial moment!" Woo Chin exclaimed through gritted teeth, wanting to punch the guards he had set to guard the entrance so that nothing and no one would disturb them. He barely had the ability and energy to keep the furnace under control, and he could only glance around and was stunned to see that it was not one person but several people. What was going on?

"Elder Lu!"

Suddenly, Woo Chin caught a glimpse of Lu Wuhu and his body seemed to be relieved a little. Although he didn't know what Lu Wuhu wanted to do with all those people by interrupting at this crucial moment, but with Lu Wuhu's help they could stabilize the situation a bit!

Master Fengta was surprised to hear Woo Chin and remembered who Lu Wuhu was. He couldn't help but be slightly reassured at the thought that they might still have a chance.

"Brother! How good of you to arrive! I need your help in stabilizing the refining and essential integration!"

As if finding some salvation, Daihang Guan called out wearily when he heard Elder Woo Chin mention Lu Wuhu. He did not know why one of his brothers was in this place and why he decided to show himself at this time, but it was the right time. Now Daihang Guan was happy that Lu Wuhu arrived, he really needed his help as as the seconds passed the pressure emanating from the pill furnace became more and more unbearable. With Lu Wuhu's powerful spirit sense, they might have a chance to stabilize the pill furnace! They might even be able to finish it!

"What's wrong, brother? I don't think I can resist much longer!"

"Looks like it's not just a simple high-level pill you guys want to create, huh? Little brat~"

So when mere seconds had passed but seemed like an eternity to Daihang Guan and the other two alchemists when Lu Wuhu didn't respond, a somewhat surprised but extremely calm and collected voice answered their despairs.

* Boom~ *

This caused the pill furnace to shake a lot more, causing some grasses and unrefined liquids to explode inside as Daihang Guan's astonishing power that covered the entire furnace shook fiercely for a moment, becoming stupefied the next second when that familiar voice that he hadn't heard for centuries echoed in his consciousness.
