The Way of The Dao

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.

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.

The pill furnace shook again with more intensity, letting out powerful auras.

"It will explode!" Master Fengta exclaimed in fright.

"Elder Lu! What are you doing!!! We only have one chance to do this and you just messed it up!" Elder Woo Chin yelled towards Lu Wuhu in fury and regret. This pill had cost them five days of arduous effort! And even more so that the materials were difficult almost impossible to find once in a millennium!

And now it looked like it was going to be ruined by an unknown young man that no one knew where he came from!

"All right! If he can't do it then no one can!" Lu Wuhu replied firmly towards Elder Woo Chin as he referred to Ling Tian.

Elder Woo Chin was stunned to see Lu Wuhu rely so much on someone unknown just like he does with his brothers. So if he can't then no one can do it?

Instantly, the cauldron that was stirring intensely calmed down largely suddenly, surprising both old men.

"It didn't explode? But how can that be possible?" Master Fengta muttered in astonishment at the sight of the pill furnace. He was sure that the furnace was going to explode a few moments ago, even some herbs and liquids inside had started to burn and disappear!

Woo Chin also looked on in silent surprise at what was happening, he didn't understand what was going on. The pill furnace that had been in agitation all day was mostly calmed down after a low-level grass was introduced?

"That won't last long~"

However, again Ling Tian's voice was heard again, with most gazes focusing on him as Ling Tian once again approached the jade shelf where various types of spiritual grasses and flowers from the lowest to the highest grade were in order. But Ling Tian simply focused on the area where the low grade grasses were located.

Quickly, Ling Tian was opening specific jade drawers, taking the low-level grasses in his hands without hesitation until he had more than 10 kinds of grasses in his hands. The next moment, both Master Fengta and Elder Woo Chin felt horror when they witnessed Ling Tian's action: his arms stretched out and as if the air were magic the grasses flew out in the direction of the cauldron, falling into the furnace as the cover opened and closed again, accepting each and every one of the grasses thrown by Ling Tian. Needless to say, Lu Wuhu allowed the grasses into the cauldron.

"Shit! What are you doing! You want to destroy the whole pill furnace?!" Elder Woo Chin couldn't take it anymore and exclaimed to Ling Tian. He couldn't bear to see someone come and destroy the hard work they had painstakingly done!

* Boom~! *

As if expected, the pill furnace burst out of fierce aura once again, madly absorbing the spiritual aura around it and the flames of the earth fire, creating a kind of living flame. The aura became chaotic with no rhythm whatsoever, bursting some liquids inside as a burning smell spread from the furnace.

"He ruined it!" Master Fengta exclaimed in horror. This occurrence was a sign of imminent failure in pill creation!

Woo Chin looked on in fright and horror! Five days' work was ruined!

"If you don't take necessary risks you won't know what it's like to get a successful result." Ling Tian looked calmly at the elder Woo Chin.

"Who do you think you are? How did you come here? Do you know what you have done? You have ruined what was going to be a new opportunity for the world!"

However, Elder Woo Chin shook his head in fury and looked at Ling Tian as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes!

"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.
