However, before the Elder Ge could reveal his joy, strands of strange white gas entered the secret chamber from all directions. After they appeared, they directly rushed towards the pill furnace.
The white gas was truly strange, it had to be known that the Elder Ge had set up an array formation around it, but the white gas actually ignored it and easily penetrated inside.
”This is … sea serpent qi! It's no wonder this' Deformed Dan 'could transform demons, transform humans, and link with the free sea serpent qi of heaven and earth to become its own! ”
When Elder Ge saw this white gas, he was shocked. In a flash, he understood why this' Deformed Dan 'was so powerful like the rumors said.
However, his face immediately changed and he shouted: ”Quick! Defend the mind! Do not let this breath touch your body! ”
But even though he reacted quickly, it was already too late. As the white gas rushed towards the pill furnace, some of them had already approached the two of them.
Yang Xie did not wait for Elder Ge's reminder, he felt that something was wrong, and he had already released the protective energy. After hearing the Elder Ge's loud shout, a few white gas were already near him, and in his shock, the white gas actually treated his protective energy as nothing, and easily drilled into it, rushing into his body!
Yang Xie's face changed. Without thinking, he used his luck spirit energy to disperse the white gas, but the moment he extended his hand, a strand of the white gas had already entered his body.
Instantly, the scene before Yang Xie's eyes changed. All sorts of illusions actually appeared, and these illusions were extremely real, as they actually caused his mind to sink into them in an instant!
After an unknown period of time, Yang Xie only felt a cool and refreshing feeling enter his body, and was instantly able to struggle free from the endless illusion. Opening his eyes, he saw that the Elder Ge had arrived beside him without him knowing, and had placed a hand on top of his head.
Yang Xie anxiously looked forward, only to see that the Core Fire that was burning fiercely had suddenly been extinguished, and looking at this scene, it was clear that the pill refining had ended a long time ago.
”What's going on?!” Yang Xie's face changed, he remembered that it would take another hour before the pill refining would be successful. After he was penetrated by the white gas, he only felt that it was only an instant, how could the outside world have so much time!
”There's no need to panic. The sea serpent qi pulled you out of your reverie, and you were unable to extricate yourself from it. You are unable to sense the passage of time in the outside world.” At this time, the Elder Ge spoke indifferently, when he said that, he had already retracted his hand from Yang Xie's head.
Ever since he stepped into the cultivation world, he had experienced all kinds of dangerous situations, so the toughness of his willpower was rarely seen, but with his tenacious willpower, when he came into contact with that strand of sea serpent qi, he did not resist at all.
If not for Elder Ge's help, he would probably still be trapped in the illusion.
When he thought about how he did not even have the ability to retaliate if someone attacked him at this moment, he could not help but break out in a cold sweat.
As if he could see the fear in Yang Xie's heart, the Elder Ge sighed and said, ”You don't have to be like this either. This sea serpent qi is the energy that the ancient Divine Beasts breathed out into the world. This spiritual energy had an unimaginable power. Once it entered the body, it would trigger the deepest thoughts in one's mind, causing them to be unable to free themselves. Even if it was This Old Man who accidentally caught it, it is normal that you, a mere Heavenly Completion Late Stage cultivator, be unable to resist this energy. ”
Hearing Elder Ge's words, Yang Xie's heart slightly slackened, and after hearing his bleak expression and hearing that he had created an illusion, his heart could not help but sink, and he asked: ”Did you succeed in refining Elder Ge's' Deformed Dan '?”
Elder Ge did not say anything. With a flip of his hand, a white jade appeared in his hand, floating in the middle of the jade bottle. The Dan Wan looked normal and normal, but on the surface, there was a faint white mist that appeared.
”This is the 'Deformed Dan'!?” Yang Xie's eyes lit up as he asked.
”Yes and no.” Elder Ge sighed lightly, looked at Yang Xie's startled appearance, and explained.
”This time, This Old Man was also careless, and did not expect such a change after the pill was formed. Just now, when This Old Man was in a critical moment, he was suddenly swallowed by the sea serpent qi, causing it to deviate slightly from its original form, and in the end, it was condensed into a pill. Although the pill was successfully refined, its effects were greatly reduced.
”The effects are greatly reduced?” Yang Xie's heart sank, he never thought that there would be such a change, if he were to say it like this, wouldn't it mean that the effects of the pill being able to change one's appearance would be greatly reduced?
Although he didn't know how much the effects of the pill had decreased, he was afraid that it wasn't any better than the Thousand Magic Faces.
In this way, wouldn't his efforts have been in vain?
”Can't the elder refine it again?” Yang Xie said unhappily in his heart, this pill was extremely important to him, if not for it, he would not be able to stay in the 'My Sword Sect' for long, and it would be extremely disadvantageous to him in the future.
”This pellet originated from the Primordial Era, and many of the herbal medicine did not appear to be very rare in the Primordial Era. However, today, there are a few that are extremely rare, and This Old Man spent a large amount of time collecting these Pills. Elder Ge shook his head and said.
Hearing this, Yang Xie's heart sank, but he knew that the Elder Ge's words were not wrong. The other party had refined for nearly a month, and had spent an uncountable amount of herbal medicine. Even if the 'My Sword Sect' was rich and imposing, it would still be rather difficult to gather these herbal medicine.
Although you did not successfully refine this pellet, it can be considered to be only half done, and you have contributed quite a bit during this period of time. The reward that you deserve is not little, and this' Deformed Dan 'is useless to me, so I'll reward it to you together. After saying that, the Elder Ge took out a jade tablet, and passed it along with the 'Deformed Dan' in his hands to Yang Xie.
