Chapter 1711: Chapter 1711: Cooperation

The “Senior Brother Yun Feng” mentioned by Baili Mingyue is none other than Yun Yi’s son.

Yun Yi has two sons and a daughter. His eldest son, Yun Hun, is a powerful Thunder Tribulation Realm Level Two expert and currently serves as a steward on Black Tortoise Island.

The second daughter, Yun Yan, reached the Thunder Tribulation Realm Level One and then went traveling, having not returned for many years, with her whereabouts currently unknown.

The third son, Yun Feng, has lingered at the Half-Step Thunder Tribulation Realm for many years and is currently an ordinary disciple on Black Tortoise Island.

Yun Yi has put in considerable effort for his youngest son’s cultivation advancement, but despite Yun Yi’s tireless instruction and the use of abundant cultivation resources, Yun Feng has been unable to break through the Thunder Tribulation Realm.

This has caused Yun Yi great distress, and he has recently gone into seclusion, aiming to refine a mid-tier Royal Grade Creation Pill to assist his son’s cultivation.

Unfortunately, while Yun Yi can refine a low-tier Royal Grade Creation Pill, he has been unable to refine a mid-tier one, wasting a lot of rare spiritual medicine in the process.

The recent alchemy failure has left Yun Yi thoroughly disheartened, and he’s even considering taking his son with him to the Eastern Desolate Continent to seek opportunities there for his son.

“Indeed! Everything I’ve done is for that child Yun Feng!”

Hearing Baili Mingyue mention his youngest son, Yun Yi sighed deeply, a look of indescribable loneliness and desolation on his face.

Fang Bai pondered for a moment, then said, “Senior, do not worry. I have an idea that might be worth trying.”

Yun Yi asked, “What idea?”

Fang Bai said, “Senior, you lack Fire Spirit Energy for alchemy, whereas I possess Innate Fire Spirit Root, and my Fire Spirit Energy is sufficiently pure. If we collaborate to refine the spirit pill, I believe the success rate will be much higher.”

Yun Yi’s eyes suddenly lit up, but then dimmed again, as he sighed, “If only your cultivation level were stronger, we might then collaborate…”

He implied that Fang Bai’s cultivation level was too far beneath his own, making it impossible for them to coordinate seamlessly, and how could they then successfully refine the spirit pill?

Fang Bai smiled without saying a word, quietly opening his palm. A finger-sized flame slowly emerged from his palm.

In an instant, the scorching heat surged forth, engulfing the surroundings.

Had Fang Bai not deliberately controlled the fire’s intensity, the bamboo house where Yun Yi resided would have been reduced to ashes, no longer existing.

Fortunately, Baili Mingyue stood at a position behind Fang Bai, shielded from most of the heat by Fang Bai; otherwise, with her current cultivation level, she wouldn’t have withstood it at all.

Even Yun Yi, a Thunder Tribulation Realm Level Five expert, felt a faint burning sensation on his skin, which showed just how formidable the Spirit Fire’s might was.

Yun Yi’s eyes widened in astonishment as he stared dumbfounded at the flame in Fang Bai’s palm, speechless for a long while.

“Senior, with this Spirit Fire, can I cooperate with you?”

Fang Bai asked with a smile.

“Spirit Fire… This is Spirit Fire…”

Yun Yi’s face twitched with excitement, his voice trembling, “Before… I’d heard about the existence of Spirit Fire in the world; it was said that wherever Spirit Fire exists, a thousand miles around would be… be scorched, yet I had never witnessed Spirit Fire with my own eyes…”

Feeling the scorching heat waves emanating from the Spirit Fire, amidst his excitement, he couldn’t help but thrill.

Previously, his only shortcoming in refining a mid-tier Royal Grade Creation Pill was pure Fire Spirit Energy, and Spirit Fire is the purest fire source in the world. With such a treasure in Fang Bai’s hand, the chance of refining the pill successfully would be greatly enhanced.

“Friend Fang, if we can refine the pill successfully through cooperation, I will never forget your kindness!”

Yun Yi clasped his hands toward Fang Bai, bowing. Chapters first released on novel⦿fire.net

Previously calling Fang Bai a “boy,” Yun Yi now changed it to “friend,” recognizing Fang Bai’s extraordinary abilities.

From Yun Yi’s perspective now, with Fang Bai possessing Innate Fire Spirit Root and the aid of Spirit Fire, he’s akin to a tiger with wings, having formidable capabilities for challenges exceeding his level. Though he still cannot compare to Yun Yi, dealing with a Thunder Tribulation Realm Level One expert should be manageable.

Furthermore, as Fang Bai is capable of refining spirit pills himself, it grants him an exalted status and position. Given his youth and limitless potential, Yun Yi feels it’s apt to address him as “friend.”

In truth, Fang Bai can refine a mid-tier Royal Grade spirit pill by himself, but he brought in Yun Yi to foster a closer relationship, hoping Yun Yi would side with him concerning Baili Mingyue.

Even if Yun Yi, due to sect relationships, doesn’t speak for Baili Mingyue, as long as he doesn’t obstruct, it will be much easier to resolve.

After all, a Thunder Tribulation Realm Level Five expert exerts immense pressure on Fang Bai, and if Yun Yi can remain neutral, Fang Bai would feel significantly more at ease. He has confidence he can handle any situation, no matter how severe.

With the hope of successfully refining the pill, Yun Yi was invigorated and became much warmer towards Fang Bai, engaging Fang Bai in discussions about alchemy, leaving Baili Mingyue aside.

“Mingyue, this has nothing to do with you for the time being. You should leave first!”

Yun Yi waved his hand and said.

Baili Mingyue, reluctant to leave Fang Bai, muttered, “You’re making the pill; can’t I stay and watch?”

Yun Yi said, “What we’re refining is not an ordinary spirit pill. If someone is here, any disturbance would cause all our efforts to go to waste. Go to the entrance of the back mountain and keep watch, ensure no one comes to disturb us!”

Fang Bai also laughed, saying, “Mingyue, the heat from the Spirit Fire might be unbearable for you. How about waiting outside for a while… Don’t worry, it won’t take long.”

Baili Mingyue said, “How long is ‘soon’? If it’s ten days or half a month, I would be worrying myself sick outside!”

Yun Yi glared and said, “Ten days or half a month? You wish! Even if Friend Fang and I cooperated seamlessly, it would take at least a month to succeed, wouldn’t it?”

Baili Mingyue understood that the higher rank a spirit pill is, the harder it is to refine. Hearing this, though disappointed, she still uttered an “oh” and obediently turned to leave the bamboo house.

“Actually, one or two days should suffice.”

Fang Bai smiled as he watched her leave.

Baili Mingyue naturally believed Fang Bai’s words and left in high spirits.

Yun Yi didn’t actually believe that he and Fang Bai could refine a mid-tier Royal Grade spirit pill in just one or two days, thinking Fang Bai was just comforting Baili Mingyue, so he smiled without comment.

Shortly after Baili Mingyue’s departure, Yun Yi reactivated the formations set around the bamboo house, embarking on the alchemic seclusion with Fang Bai once more.

Baili Mingyue stood alone at the back mountain entrance, just steadying herself when she saw Sect Master Hua Guanghan hurrying towards her with a solemn expression.

“Mingyue? What are you doing here?”

Hua Guanghan saw Baili Mingyue and paused, glancing around before asking, “And what about that outsider Martial Artist who was with you?”

Baili Mingyue, being sharp, knew that the “outsider Martial Artist” the Sect Master referred to must be Fang Bai, suspecting that Senior Brother Li Sheng might have already informed the Sect Master about her and Fang Bai.

But what purpose does the Sect Master have for coming to the back mountain at this time? Could it be related to her and Fang Bai?
