Hearing Xue An’s words, An Yan finally relaxed slightly.
At that moment, Xue An gently wrapped his arms around An Yan’s waist.
An Yan naturally leaned her head on Xue An’s shoulder.
Black hair fluttered with the wind, the world silent and still.
Xue An, sniffing the fragrance of her hair, said softly, "In the next couple of days, I’ll use the Blood Pearl to concoct an elixir for you!"
"Mm!" An Yan responded softly.
"Husband, after the elixir is refined, are we going to leave again?"
Xue An gently nodded, "Yes, we are!"
"Where to this time?"
Xue An smiled faintly, ruffling An Yan’s hair with his hand, "Don’t stuff your little head with so many things. As long as you follow your husband, you’ll always have meat to eat!"
"Ah, you’re so annoying, my hair was just combed nicely!"
While An Yan playfully scolded him, Xue An felt even the night air become endearing.
Just as Xue An and An Yan were engrossed in their lovey-dovey drama,
in the Dragon Realm, a place so far away it was beyond belief,
a Giant Dragon, as large as a star, suddenly opened its eyes.
And it wasn’t just him; several other Giant Dragons of no lesser size also opened their eyes.
"Did you feel that?"
The other Ancestral Dragons nodded gravely.
"To speak of it, this is the second time we’ve felt such a heart-palpitating presence!" the voice of this Giant Dragon conveyed a trace of horror.
"We can now be sure. It’s definitely that guy’s aura! I knew it, how could such a powerful being fall so easily?" another Ancestral Dragon said with a face full of horror.
"Last time I ordered you all to store away various treasures. Did you do as you were told?"
"We did! Only the great hall remains!"
"That won’t do, that guy is greedy, maybe he won’t even spare the great hall. Go dismantle the great hall now!"
"Yes!" Another slightly smaller Ancestral Dragon was about to leave.
"Come back!"
"Do you have any other orders?"
"Remember, do not tell the little princess about this matter at all costs!"
"Understood!"
The entire Dragon Realm became unsettled because of this incident.
Meanwhile, back here,
Xue An was preparing for the necessities required to refine this batch of elixir.
The most important aspects of pill refinement boil down to three areas:
Elixir Fire, Pill Furnace, and medicinal ingredients.
Now, the ingredients were available.
Xue An had almost condensed the entire Blood Clan into Blood Pearls.
The Elixir Fire was not an issue either.
In all of heaven and earth, was there a flame more formidable than Xue An’s Red Lotus Flame?
Now, the only thing missing was the Pill Furnace.
In truth, with Xue An’s current level of pill cultivation, even an electric rice cooker could be used to make a notable elixir.
But to better condense the medicinal efficacy to break the seal, Xue An decided to take this process seriously.
The fact that even Xue An was being so cautious underscored the extraordinary significance of this batch of elixir.
It was clearly too late to fabricate a Pill Furnace now.
And there were no ready-made Pill Furnaces to be used on Earth.
But Chen Xiaoyi, who was watching all this from below in the studio, instantly became furious.
At this moment, she was no longer the entertainment weekly reporter from the provincial city, but the chief editor of Zhongdu TV station.
This live broadcast was not her responsibility initially.
But because it concerned Xue An, she volunteered to come and assist.
And here she encountered an old geezer droning on and on.
Angered just like her were many viewers in front of their televisions.
"Where did this old fogey come from? How dare he criticize Mr. Xue?"
"Exactly, if not for Mr. Xue, this old codger would probably be long gone by now, and still he has the audacity to expound from his soapbox?"
"Tsk tsk, such a shameless ’expert’! Using his own limited abilities to speculate on Mr. Xue’s capabilities and even daring to mock Mr. Xue for his youth? He’s begging for trouble!"
These discussions and taunts were naturally unknown to Pill Master Wang, who was feeling quite pleased with himself as he spoke endlessly to the hostess with a strange expression on her face.
"I think, if Mr. Xue fails in his elixir concoction this time, I can help him concoct for free. After all, Mr. Xue has been a great benefactor to our Huaguo, and to the entire world!"
Just as he was happily rambling.
Someone exclaimed, "Look quickly! Mr. Xue is making his move!"
The audience turned their heads.
Indeed.
They saw that Xue An was now waving his hand, causing the Blood Pearls stored in the Mustard Seed Ring and Magic Treasures Pavilion to appear in the sky, their number so great that they formed a long red river.
A girl exclaimed in wonder, "The color is so beautiful! It would make a great lipstick!"
But most people were looking up solemnly.
Pill Master Wang sighed, "It seems..."
But before he could finish, they saw Xue An raising his hand, flashes of light twinkling in his palm, as he declared in a loud voice.
"I borrow the power of the four corners’ mountains and rivers!"
