Battle Through the Heavens: Live Q&a Session - Only I Know the Answers

163: Chapter 162 Cao Ying Refines Alchemy”Haha, Miss Cao Ying, today let me see your Alchemist skills. I will definitely guide you properly then.”

Chen Yang’s lips curled up slightly, outlining a confident smile, but a glint of craftiness flashed in his eyes as he spoke slowly.

”Then I will trouble you.”

Cao Ying looked at Chen Yang’s smile, which carried a hint of ’mischief,’ feigned anger, and couldn’t help but roll her eyes at him.

However, within this seemingly reproachful gaze, there was only tenderness and trust.

For Chen Yang, Cao Ying felt no fear; on the contrary, her heart was already filled with dependence and love.

In her heart, if she could, she even hoped to throw herself into Chen Yang’s embrace right now, becoming his gentle little woman and spending every beautiful moment with him.

Cao Ying’s feelings for Chen Yang were very complex. Although they had only formally met three days ago, they had known each other for a long time in the live broadcast room.

Countless chats had made them familiar with each other. Those deep exchanges were like trickling streams, nourishing their souls and making their relationship increasingly intimate.

Cao Ying had even sent her private photos to Chen Yang. She herself knew that she might have truly fallen deeply in love with Chen Yang.

After all, which woman could not be enamored with a man like Chen Yang, who possessed such exceptional talent and handsome looks?

However, for Cao Ying, there were indeed quite a few women around Chen Yang now, and she inevitably felt a sense of loss in her heart; after all, she was no longer the only one in Chen Yang’s heart.

But she also understood that she hadn’t been by Chen Yang’s side for these few years, and it was human nature for a man to have such needs, so she did not blame Chen Yang.

She only hoped that Chen Yang’s current wives would not dislike her. She just wanted to quietly stay by Chen Yang’s side, accompanying him always, and no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay on the road ahead, she was willing to walk hand in hand with him, never leaving or forsaking him.

”Then, shall we start now?”

Chen Yang asked Cao Ying with a smile, his eyes filled with anticipation.

”Haha, then you young people go ahead. I, this old man, will not participate. After all, Chen Yang, your Alchemist skills are even better than mine; there will be no problem in guiding Ying’er.”

Xuan Kongzi looked at Chen Yang, his eyes full of approval and appreciation, and said with a smile.

In his heart, Chen Yang’s alchemy talent and strength had long since convinced him, and he also believed that Chen Yang would certainly be able to help Cao Ying reach a higher level on the path of alchemy.

”Then, Chen Yang, come with me.”

Cao Ying looked at Chen Yang, her cheeks slightly flushed, and said shyly.

Thinking about being alone with Chen Yang in a moment, she felt a wave of heat surge from the bottom of her heart, spreading to her entire mind, causing her heartbeat to quicken involuntarily.

”Let’s go.”

Chen Yang walked to Cao Ying’s side, gently patted her shoulder, and said slowly with a natural movement.

This small action of his made Cao Ying’s originally nervous mood instantly relax a lot.

”Mm.”

Cao Ying nodded slightly and led Chen Yang and Dan Chen toward her exclusive alchemy room.

As a disciple of Xuan Kongzi, one of the Dan Ta Three Giants, it was only reasonable that she possessed an exclusive alchemy room inside the Pill Tower.

Before long, they arrived in front of a room.

Cao Ying stopped, her lips curling up slightly, and she said slowly with a hint of pride: ”I have ten exclusive alchemy rooms in the Pill Tower, and this is one of them.”

However, before Cao Ying could finish, Chen Yang frowned slightly and asked doubtfully: ”Isn’t refining an Eighth Grade Pill usually done in an open space? How can you resist the Pill Lightning in this room?”

Chen Yang had wanted to ask this question for a long time. After all, it was well known that pills above the sixth grade would attract Pill Lightning, so such pills were generally refined in open spaces. It was common knowledge among Alchemists that it was difficult to resist heavenly lightning indoors.

”Pfft... giggle.”

Hearing Chen Yang’s question, Cao Ying and Dan Chen looked at each other and couldn’t help laughing out loud.

While laughing, Cao Ying gently covered her mouth with her hand, her posture elegant and charming.

Cao Ying slowed her laughter and patiently explained: ”The Pill Tower has natural formations that can block Pill Lightning. Refining pills inside the Pill Tower can directly avoid attacks from Pill Lightning.”

”Furthermore, the Dou Qi content inside the Pill Tower is higher than in the outside world, so recovering Dou Qi while refining pills is also relatively faster.”

Her voice was crisp and pleasant. After a pause, she continued.

”Moreover, the alchemy rooms inside the Pill Tower are extremely rare; only disciples like me, who are directly taught by the Dan Ta Three Giants, have them. Also, these alchemy rooms of mine actually belong to Master; I’m just borrowing them, as Master rarely refines pills nowadays.”

After hearing Cao Ying’s answer, Chen Yang suddenly realized and nodded.

So that was it. No wonder Cao Ying chose to refine pills inside the Pill Tower. Chen Yang hadn’t expected that refining pills inside the Pill Tower had so many benefits.

”Then, let’s begin.”

Chen Yang looked into Cao Ying’s eyes, offering silent encouragement.

Cao Ying took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and then sat elegantly on the prayer mat.

She waved her jade hand, which wore a black glove, gently.

With a ”Bang~” sound, a huge medicine cauldron instantly appeared in front of Cao Ying.

Seeing this medicine cauldron, Chen Yang couldn’t help but widen his eyes slightly and said in surprise: ”The seventh place on the Heavenly Cauldron List - Saint Radiance Cauldron!”

Although Chen Yang always used fire as a cauldron when refining pills and had never used a real medicine cauldron, he had learned about the Heavenly Cauldron List.

And this medicine cauldron in front of Cao Ying was the Saint Radiance Cauldron, ranked seventh on the Heavenly Cauldron List; its quality was one grade higher than Yao Lao’s Black Demon Cauldron.

This medicine cauldron had an ancient and magnificent style. The body of the cauldron was covered with mysterious runes and exuded an aura of light, which was extremely gentle.

”This cauldron originally belonged to my Master. He basically doesn’t refine pills anymore, so this medicine cauldron was passed on to me.”

Cao Ying looked at the medicine cauldron, her eyes full of cherishment. She slowly raised her hand and gently stroked the cauldron’s body, her movements like she was stroking the most precious treasure.

”Not bad. It seems your Master treats you very well, being willing to pass on even the seventh-ranked cauldron on the Heavenly Cauldron List to you.”

Chen Yang looked at Cao Ying, his eyes filled with a smile, and said sincerely.

”Of course, Master treats me very well, simply treating me like his own daughter.”

Cao Ying raised her head, her face overflowing with a happy smile, and said proudly.

Although she kept talking, Cao Ying’s hands did not stop moving.

Her storage ring flashed again, and a ray of light streaked by. Countless medicinal herbs floated in the air, as if guided by an invisible force.

Cao Ying said slowly: ”The pill I am going to refine today is the Eighth Grade Pill, the five elements profound mysterious pill, which will attract Five-Color Pill Lightning.”

Her voice carried a hint of nervousness; after all, refining such a high-level pill was a huge challenge for her.

”The main effect of this pill is that it can enhance the strength of cultivators at any stage in an all-around way. It is even a very useful pill for cultivators who have suffered severe Dao injuries.”
