Lu Xun had never refined the Taiqing Divine Pill before.
But he knew one thing.
The birth of the Taiqing Divine Pill would be accompanied by seven-colored lightning.
Therefore.
When he saw the seven-colored lightning tear through the night sky.
He instantly thought of Chen Nan.
"Ancestor, it's Chen Nan."
"It must be him."
"This Taiqing Divine Pill must have been refined by Chen Nan," Lu Yuan said, his face full of anxiety.
Lu Xun roared in anger: "No!"
"Impossible!"
"To refine the Taiqing Divine Pill, a snake demon must be the main ingredient."
"Those two snake demons are both in our Lu family's possession."
"What did he use to refine the Taiqing Divine Pill?"
Lu Yuan nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva: "Ancient texts record that a Blood Spirit Root can substitute for a snake demon. Although it's a legendary item, it lives in the wilderness."
As he spoke, his eyes lit up: "That's it, it must be like this!"
"This Taiqing Divine Pill must have been refined by Chen Nan."
He had been wondering why Chen Nan had lured the Lu family's experts into the depths of the wilderness before.
Now, his doubts were all resolved.
He lured the Lu family's experts into the depths of the wilderness.
It must have been to find the Blood Spirit Root.
"Old man, see this?"
"This is Young Master Chen's strength."
Lu Qingqing sneered triumphantly, "Even if he came to Fengdu City alone, even if your Lu family has ten thousand years of heritage and profound foundation."
"In front of him, they are all ants!"
"You can't defeat him at all!"
Slap!
Lu Xun slapped Lu Qingqing away, his eyes blazing like a wrathful god: "Wretched creature, how dare you provoke me at this time? Don't you see I'm in a bad mood? Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now?"
He was furious.
Extremely furious.
Because he couldn't believe that Chen Nan could refine the Taiqing Divine Pill.
After all.
He himself was not entirely confident in refining it.
Lu Qingqing laughed loudly: "My happiness is built on your suffering, isn't it?"
"You..." A strong killing intent arose in Lu Xun's heart.
However, he suppressed his killing intent.
With a wave of his right hand, he directly put Lu Qingqing into a spatial artifact.
Then he looked towards the center of the thunderclouds, a sharp glint in his eyes: "This pill must belong to my Lu family!"
"It must belong to the Lu family!"
"Let's go, follow me to find that guy surnamed Chen."
Saying that, he soared into the sky.
They had received the task of refining the Taiqing Divine Pill.
If they could refine it, they would gain the appreciation of that distinguished figure.
Otherwise.
The Lu family would likely face utter destruction.
This was a huge challenge for Lu Xun.
Not to mention that they hadn't even collected all the ingredients for the Taiqing Divine Pill.
Even if they had collected them all.
He might not have been able to refine it.
After all, he had never refined the Taiqing Divine Pill before.
How could he not feel pressure when refining a pill that concerned the family's survival for the first time?
After all, no one in this world could refine an unknown pill on their first attempt.
And now.
He had found a way for the Lu family to survive.
That was to wait for Chen Nan to finish refining the pill.
And then snatch the pill back.
In this way.
Wouldn't he be able to report back to that distinguished figure?
Although the pill was not refined by him.
Did that matter?
No!
What mattered was that as long as it could heal that distinguished figure's injuries, it was enough!
Of course.
Lu Yuan also summoned some experts from the Lu family.
Although those people were not as strong as the former enshrined masters of the Lu family.
They all possessed the peak strength of the厉鬼境 (Li Gui Jing - Fierce Ghost Realm) and the 地鬼境 (Di Gui Jing - Earth Ghost Realm).
When they arrived at Chen Nan's residence.
A cold glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.
He saw Qi Ye standing guard alone in the alley.
He was dressed in a black brocade robe, holding a long sword in his arms.
He was leaning against the crooked neck tree at the entrance of the alley.
"Everyone, you are not welcome here, please leave quickly!" Qi Ye said, his voice cold.
He didn't even look directly at the Lu family experts.
Lu Yuan snorted, "With you alone, I'm afraid you can't stop us!"
"Get lost if you don't want to die!"
He had a cultivation of the third level of the Di Gui Jing.
He didn't take Qi Ye, a cultivator who had just entered the Di Gui Jing, seriously at all.
Qi Ye glanced at the thunderclouds overhead and murmured, "My mission is only to delay you."
"It has nothing to do with life and death!"
"Seeking death!"
A middle-aged man behind Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with a cold glint.
In an instant, a flying sword transformed into a blur from within him and lunged at Qi Ye.
Qi Ye's body erupted with a terrifying Yin energy, instantly blocking the sword that was just inches away.
Then he slowly drew the long sword in his arms.
Ching!
An oppressive sword aura spread from the blade.
When the entire sword was drawn out.
A red glow emanated from the blade.
"Break!"
Qi Ye slashed out with his sword.
The long sword in front of him immediately flew backward.
It shattered into pieces in mid-air.
"I underestimated you!"
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with cold light. Just as he was about to charge at Qi Ye with his long sword,
Lu Xun raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be rash!"
Lu Yuan's eyes were filled with confusion.
Lu Xun said, "Chen Nan is at a critical juncture in refining the Taiqing Divine Pill. We cannot interfere with his alchemy."
There was one thing he didn't say.
Not only could they not interfere with Chen Nan's alchemy.
They also had to protect him.
"Everyone, listen to my orders, guard this place well. Without my permission, no one is allowed to enter this area!" Lu Xun directly commanded.
"Yes!"
The Lu family members all accepted the order, then spread out, surrounding Chen Nan's courtyard layer upon layer.
Lu Yuan asked, "Ancestor, can Chen Nan really refine the Taiqing Divine Pill?"
Lu Xun said, "The birth of a divine pill is accompanied by seven bolts of heavenly lightning. Only one has descended so far. After overcoming the remaining six bolts of heavenly lightning, the divine pill will take shape."
As he spoke.
A six-colored lightning bolt tore through the night sky and struck heavily into the mansion in front of them.
Then a clear bell sound erupted.
For this sound.
Lu Xun was all too familiar with it.
It must be the sound of heavenly lightning striking the alchemic furnace.
"New talents emerge in every generation, Chen Nan's alchemy skills are truly extraordinary!" Although Lu Xun did not want to admit Chen Nan's alchemy skills.
At this moment, he had to concede.
Because when he was so young, let alone refining the Taiqing Divine Pill.
He couldn't even refine a Hua Xing Dan (Form Transformation Pill).
"Not good!"
Suddenly.
Lu Xun's expression changed drastically: "I sense powerful auras approaching. Someone wants to stop Chen Nan from refining the pill!"
"Issue an order, no matter what, we must stop those people!"
"Don't let anyone disrupt Chen Nan's alchemy!"
"Anyone who dares to approach will be killed without mercy!"
Lu Yuan: "Yes!"
Qi Ye, standing beside them, frowned, his eyes filled with a smile, "What's the meaning of this? Aren't we enemies? Why are you helping us fend off other strong enemies?"
"Your operation is very weird, I don't understand it!"
