The Way of The Dao

Chapter 701 If He Can't Do It Then No One Can!

* Boom~ *

Lu Wuhu released his powerful spirit sense along with some of his cultivation essence when Daihang Guan's power collapsed, enveloping the entire pill furnace and stabilizing it once again. But despite that the pill furnace still remained unstable inside, threatening to explode again once they got careless.

"Vice President Daihang! What happened? Why did your power drop?"

Elder Woo Chin exclaimed with worry as did Master Fengta when they sensed that the pill furnace was going to explode if not for Lu Wuhu's help. They were so focused on not failing on their parts so they could hardly pay attention to the surroundings.

However, Daihang Guan still stood dumbfounded paying no heed to the others. His shrunken pupils showed the shock inside as he forgot to even breathe. Only a few words belonging to a single person was still echoing in his mind, but still slightly doubting whether this moment was not a bad dream.

Then, a figure approached his side while he was still sitting, looking at the pill furnace but not daring to turn his head. But Daihang Guan could see out of the corner of his eyes a white male figure beside him; his heart was beating faster and faster as he thought of that important and special person, that person who taught him everything and was his most important pillar of support for as long as he could remember.Rêạd new chapters at novelhall.com

The next moment, a soft and warm hand rested on his shoulder, conveying reassurance and confidence to Daihang Guan as he regained his senses and confirmed his thoughts.

Long Yuyin, Mu Shuiruo, Xue Ning, Shan Qingwu, Xuanyuan Ling and Nalan Ziqing stood watching as they were amazed by the huge pill furnace and felt its emitted aura and pressure, also smelling various fragrances in the air as the flames enveloped the center. Especially Mu Shuiruo; she marveled at the wonders of the pill furnace and the immeasurable power she could feel inside the cauldron.

"I didn't think it would occur to you to realize this kind of mysterious pill. You have good comprehension and the materials are just right, but if you keep going like this you won't be able to achieve it."

Ling Tian stood to the side as he simply looked at the pill furnace before squeezing his hand on Daihang Guan's shoulder and calmly saying to him, surprising the latter.

"Little Wuhu keep pouring only your cultivation essence while letting Little Guan focus on his spirit sense to guide and condense the pill."

Ling Tian began to give directions. Lu Wuhu nodded and almost immediately Daihang Guan nodded as well, throwing his spirit sense into the cauldron without colliding with Lu Wuhu's cultivation essence.

This made both Elder Woo Chin and Master Fengta breathe easier as they felt the pressure reduce, being able to stabilize and calm down.

Meanwhile, the only one who was still dumbfounded and staring at Ling Tian was Yi Jingwen. She had heard this young man call Daihang Guan "little"! Who was this young man that he could call "little" to senior brother? Was he an important young master? Or was he an old monster who had known Daihang Guan from long ago when he was a boy?

Ling Tian noticed Yi Jingwen's gaze but decided to focus on the pill furnace. If he didn't do something the furnace would explode again in no time and it would be a total failure.

So without wasting any time, Ling Tian approached the shelves attached to the walls in the surroundings as his gaze passed drawer by drawer, but his nose caught the scents wafting from each of them quickly until he smelled the fragrance he was looking for and reached out his hand opening the jade drawer. A light green 5-petaled herb was inside, giving off a faint scent. Without a second thought, Ling Tian took it and walked to Daihang Guan's side.

Ling Tian's next action surprised everyone.

"Who the hell are you? What are you doing?!"

Because both Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu had taken over the process for the most part, both Master Fengta and Elder Woo Chin were able to breathe more comfortably without so much pressure only to see the image of Ling Tian throwing a common low-level spirit grass into the cauldron!

Master Fengta exclaimed as Elder Woo Chin tried to grab the grass in mid-air unsuccessfully as Lu Wuhu's cultivation essence flowed out and stopped him, letting the grass enter the cauldron as the cover opened and closed again, leaving the two old men stunned.

"Elder Woo Chin! I ask you for more respect!"

Lu Wuhu's serious and angry voice was heard, startling Woo Chin.

Who was this young man that could make Lu Wuhu ask for respect for him? How come they trust this young man so much? Even he could feel the serious and angry gaze from the women behind Ling Tian as well!

"No need for you two to continue, the two of them can finish this."

Ling Tian spoke indifferently after observing the two old men. Without a doubt both old men had almost drained their cultivation essences and their breaths were weak, showing that they were at their limit. Ling Tian went back to look for grass again, but this time he picked up a mid-level spirit grass before approaching Daihang Guan's side and this time he didn't immediately throw the grass away but stood there.

Elder Woo Chi and Master Fengta looked at each other, struggling in their minds over the regret of having failed at this pill before withdrawing their energies from the cauldron. Regret and disappointment flooded their hearts.

* Swoosh~ *

When Elder Woo Chin was about to angrily ask what was the use of Ling Tian wanting to add another spirit grass when the pill had failed, the furnace in the center began to absorb more spirit Chi. Even the burning smell disappeared and a strange aromatic fragrance that had never been smelled before began to emanate from the pill furnace.

"Hadn't the pill failed?" Master Fengta muttered in astonishment when he realized that the pill furnace had not failed and that smell he caught was a sign that the pill could still be achieved!

Elder Woo Chin knew it too!

But Elder Woo Chin and Master Fengta knew that they could no longer get involved at this time. If they distracted Daihang Guan or Lu Wuhu a bit they could cause the failure, so now the opportunity was left on these two!

Although they didn't know how it was that the pill could recover after low level grasses had been added, there was still hope!

Ling Tian looked up at the sky in one of the window-like spaces of a wall. His eyes caught the clouds in the sky darkening at an astonishing speed. Some lightning even crossed between the clouds, forming what looked like lightning snakes in plain sight.

"There goes the last grass. After this, the outcome will depend on the two of you." Ling Tian spoke calmly, as if he didn't care if the pill was created or not.

Both Daihang Guan and Lu Wuhu nodded silently, focusing even more on their cultivation essences and spirit senses. Lu Wuhu even sat close to Daihang Guan, cross-legged as he focused his entire mind on the pill furnace.

What are you doing?

Master Fengta and Elder Woo Chin looked at Ling Tian in horror when they realized that he wanted to throw another low-level spiritual grass! Although the grass itself was a mid-level grass, it was still a mere mediocre grass compared to the quality of materials gathered in this pill!

The pill had a chance to be finished, and now Ling Tian wanted to destroy that chance again!

"Uhm?"

As Ling Tian was about to throw the grass in his hand, a charming figure stood in front of him with her arms outstretched, preventing him from throwing the grass.
