The meaning of my words was very clear. I wanted to replace Bai Ling.
Bai Ling also understood my intentions. Perhaps she knew that I didn't have any other intentions, but she still shook her head and refused. "The Saints don't know that although Bai Ling's power is weak, she was fortunate enough to be recognized by the Shennong Cauldron as its master.
With the Xuanyuan Sword in his possession, the Sage must have known that once a divine weapon recognized its master, it would not listen to anyone else.
Moreover, the Saint has never learned the method of alchemy, and this matter concerns Wuyue's life. It doesn't seem appropriate to be so hasty. "
Her words were very reasonable and I was speechless. I could only look at the fatty helplessly, indicating that I had tried my best.
Fatty understood and didn't force the issue. He lowered his head and looked dejected.
In this way, the atmosphere became rather awkward.
I could only bring the fatty back to the ground.
However, before we left, Bai Ling told us to be careful and not to worry too much.
It was obvious that he was trying to comfort us, but it was useless.
Fatty's divination had never been wrong. It was just that he was unable to prevent all of this from happening, which made him feel rather uncomfortable.
In the blink of an eye, the fatty and I had returned to our previous positions.
Seeing his anxious face, I didn't know how to comfort him. "If something unexpected happens, I will do my best to protect Bai Ling."
The fatty's expression didn't change as he listened to me. He slightly nodded and stood at the side, staring at the Shennong Cauldron.
In a short while, Bai Ling had finished inspecting the Shennong Cauldron. She then waved her hand and brought the wooden box in the hands of her tribesmen to the side of the Shennong Cauldron.
Then, her temperament changed drastically. The sorcery qi in her body gathered on her hands and flew into the Shennong Cauldron.
At this point, I understood that Bai Ling wasn't lying.
Using the Shennong Cauldron to concoct medicine was not like using an ordinary cauldron to burn with an open flame. Instead, it was using the Shaman Qi in one's body to refine the medicine.
Concocting medicine took a long time, so the amount of Wizard Qi consumed was rather large. If one was not a Heavenly Master or above, they would not be able to withstand such consumption at all.
However, it was definitely not as simple as refining medicine this time. He did not know if the Wizard Qi in Bai Ling's body could last until the end of this matter.
While he was thinking, Bai Ling's hands moved again.
She opened all the wooden boxes beside her, picked a few herbs, and threw them into the Shennong Cauldron.
At the same time, a wave of Wizard Qi energy appeared on his hands, and he threw it into the hole as well.
In just a few seconds, the Shennong Cauldron actually produced a strange phenomenon, and its surface turned iron red.
This did not happen even when the Flame Emperor's shadow appeared. I couldn't help but admire the alchemy skills of the Medicine King Valley.
Just like that, Bai Ling no longer added any more herbs.
I've heard about this before.
In refining pills, other than having a complete set of medicinal ingredients, it was more important to master the heat control and the sequence of medicinal ingredients.
After all, the properties of the medicinal herbs were different, so they had to be added at their own discretion.
When Whitey moved again, it was already two hours later.
During the past two hours, there had been no slip-ups. However, the more it was like that, the darker Fatty's expression became.
It seemed that he was still worried about the previous divination. After all, things had progressed to a later stage, and if an unforeseen event were to occur, the harm would be unpredictable.
Several hours later, nothing unexpected happened.
However, the Shennong Cauldron had become transparent after the previous changes.
From a distance, we could see what was going on inside very clearly.
Since then, all the herbs in the wooden box had been refined by the Shennong Cauldron.
Those herbs were indeed rare treasures. Under the power of the Shennong Cauldron, they still maintained their original appearance.
However, as Bai Ling continuously transferred her Wizard Qi into the Shennong Cauldron, the herbs couldn't hold on for too long. They gradually turned into green smoke and swirled in the cauldron.
Although there was nothing unusual about the alchemy, Bai Ling had used up a lot of her Wizard Qi. Her face was pale, and she looked exhausted.
The fatty had been paying attention to Bai Ling's actions all the time. Naturally, he noticed the changes before I did.
He moved closer to me and asked anxiously, "Can I help Bai Ling?"
Of course, I understood the meaning behind his words.
Then, he flew to Whitey's side.
Bai Ling was smart. She knew why I was there. Before I could speak, she said, "Saint, don't worry. Bai Ling can still hold on for a while."
As she spoke, the veins on her forehead bulged.
His current appearance was a sign of exhaustion.
The fatty had asked me to help her, so I couldn't let her risk her life like that. I told her to rest for a while. I could perform the alchemy for her.
While we were talking, Bai Ling's face was as pale as a sheet of paper. She hadn't thrown them into the dragon bones yet, but she was already exhausted. She wouldn't be able to endure the energy she was going to consume.
However, after listening to me, she didn't stop immediately.
Seeing her like this, I also felt a little anxious in my heart.
After a long time, she panted and told me, "She didn't think that it would be so difficult today.
However, alchemy had to be done in one go. Since the herbs were about to condense, we couldn't afford to be careless.
Moreover, the Shennong Cauldron had recognized its master. Although we both cultivated Wizard Qi, there was still a slight difference.
The Shennong Cauldron had its own intellect. I was sure it could sense it. If she suddenly retreated, the Shennong Cauldron would automatically stop.
At that time, all of our previous efforts would be in vain.
Of course, I didn't think that she was just trying to scare me.
If the Shennong Cauldron recognized Bai Ling as its master, there must be a connection between them. If I forcefully joined, the Shennong Cauldron would reject me.
If that happened, all of our previous efforts would be in vain.
However, if I let Bai Ling consume her energy like this, she would be exhausted soon.
I was touched by her spirit, but I couldn't force her. If something bad happened to her, I wouldn't be able to explain it to the fat man.
However, I couldn't think of a suitable solution at the moment. I stood aside anxiously.
Right at that moment, Bai Ling mumbled, "Here it is." Then, she threw the dragon bone into the Shennong Cauldron.
Her action interrupted my thoughts. I couldn't help but feel happy. I had completely forgotten about Bai Ling's stamina.
As soon as the dragon bone entered the Shennong Cauldron, it was shrouded in the mist created by the herbs.
Although the Shennong Cauldron was transparent, I couldn't see what had happened to the dragon bone shrouded in mist.
However, the fat man had told me that there wouldn't be any changes to the body. Since I couldn't tell him in detail, I didn't need to hurry. I just needed to wait patiently.
With that thought, Bai Ling formed a sword with her fingers. A drop of blood oozed out from the tip of her middle finger.
Seeing this, I was somewhat astonished.
It was obvious that this drop of blood was Bai Ling's blood essence. The energy it contained was unimaginable.
Does she want to throw it into the Shennong Cauldron to refine it together?
In just a blink of an eye, the drop of blood soared into the sky. However, it didn't enter the Shennong Cauldron.
Then, Bai Ling produced a mass of shaman energy in her hand. The mass of shaman energy turned into a silk thread that revolved around the drop of blood essence.
In just a few seconds, the drop of blood essence expanded. In the blink of an eye, it exploded, turning into a blood mist that dispersed into the surrounding shaman energy.
As soon as the shaman energy touched the blood mist, it became frantic. The energy inside the mist increased.
Seeing this, I finally understood.
Perhaps Bai Ling knew that she wouldn't be able to endure until the end of the refining process. That was why she wanted to use the power of her blood essence to strengthen the shaman energy. That way, she could satisfy the Shennong Cauldron's needs.
However, there were only ten drops of blood essence in a human's body. Once it was lost, it couldn't be regrown.
Moreover, blood essence was closely related to one's life. Losing blood essence meant that one's lifespan would be shortened.
Moreover, after losing blood essence, the body's origin would be damaged. It would take a long time to recover. With Bai Ling's current condition, the damage caused by losing blood essence would be more serious.
While I was thinking, Bai Ling's face darkened. Her chest heaved up and down, and she vomited a mouthful of blood.
Then, her body became a little unstable, and her eyes became dim and lifeless.
I screamed. Bai Ling had used the power of her blood essence when she was exhausted. Her heavenly veins would be unstable, and her blood would attack her heart. Her life would be in danger.
With that thought in mind, I dashed to her side and supported her falling body.
Bai Ling's entire body was powerless. Her eyes rolled back and forth. After a few seconds, she fainted.
The fat man on the ground sensed the situation. He flew up and took Bai Ling from my hand. He lowered his voice and said, "Leave her to me. Third Baby, you shouldn't delay your business."
The fat man didn't sound like he was blaming me, which made me feel better.
However, Bai Ling had told me that I couldn't interfere with the Shennong Cauldron. I could only stand there and wait.
Although Bai Ling's collapse was within my expectations, I was still caught unprepared.
Fortunately, the Medicine King Valley was famous for their medicine. They could take care of Bai Ling's injuries.
Moreover, the fat man and I didn't know much about medicine, so it was pointless to worry about it.
With that thought in mind, I retracted my gaze and looked at the Shennong Cauldron.
The witchcraft energy that had been soaring in the air had calmed down and was slowly flying into the Shennong Cauldron. It seemed that the witchcraft energy wasn't completely out of Bai Ling's control.
After a while, the witchcraft energy landed steadily in the Shennong Cauldron.
After a few seconds, the Shennong Cauldron returned to its original state. The only difference was that it started to shake violently and let out a buzzing sound.
I had never seen such a scene before.
However, I had learned from the people of the Medicine King Valley that when some rare elixirs were refined, the cauldron would have a strange phenomenon.
The scene before me was similar to the strange phenomenon that the people of the Medicine King Valley were talking about.
Could it be that the reconstruction of the body was successful?
While I was thinking about it, the Shennong Cauldron started to spin again. The cauldron continued to emit white smoke.
However, the white smoke didn't disperse but condensed and hovered above the Shennong Cauldron. It seemed that there was something inside.
Although I was curious, the Shennong Cauldron didn't stop spinning, so I didn't dare to go forward to check.
This process lasted for fifteen minutes. After the Shennong Cauldron returned to its original state, it no longer emitted white smoke.
As for the white smoke from before, it finally revealed the object within it after a series of flips.
It was a woman wrapped in the white smoke. I was very familiar with her appearance. She was Wu Yue.
However, she didn't have anything to cover her body. Her hands were soft, and her skin was smooth. Her cheeks were smooth, her nose was smooth, and her waist was slender. She had the appearance of a young girl, but she also had the charm of a mature woman.
