59 Ambrosia (1/2)

Chapter 1571: Ambrosia

”Brother Yi Yun, did you just say that… everything is okay now?”

Tie Mu was taken aback. The terrifying explosion that nearly left him in despair had been resolved by Yi Yun in just a simple move or two? The entire process did not even take him ten seconds. Was he dreaming?

But when he looked at Songyue, he knew deep down that Yi Yun had really resolved the problem since he saw Songyue clearly heave a sigh of relief.

If not for Songyue's need to keep controlling the Crystal Refining Furnace, she would probably have slumped to the ground.

”Brother Yi Yun, how did you do it?” Tie Mu's shock only kept increasing. He had seen Yi Yun arrive on this ore mining spirit cruiser in a seemingly wretched state, an existence that looked no different from cannon fodder. He never imagined that Yi Yun could be this capable.

”Are there Crystal Refinement Masters from the universe you come from?” asked Tie Mu out of curiosity.

Yi Yun shook his head. Back in the lower realms, there were Desolate Heaven Masters. In the 12 Empyrean Heavens and the Sinkhole, there were alchemists. Both lineages shared several things in common; their differences stemming only from the variations in available material between the worlds.

The name 'Crystal Refinement Master' was the only thing that Yi Yun was hearing about for the first time. He had never even imagined that ore refinement would become a profession.

”I don't think so either. Only the crevices in the multiverse have Chaos Crystal ores…”

”But that's impossible. If you don't know the Crystal Refinement Technique, how are you…” Tie Mu appeared completely confounded.

”Alright, stop questioning him.” Songyue interrupted Tie Mu. She could tell that Yi Yun was not interesting in commenting on the subject.

But without a doubt, Yi Yun had extraordinary means. It might very well stem from a mystic art that his universe had, or even a domain which the Chaos Heavens had yet to explore.

”Huh!?”

At that moment, Yi Yun's nerves tightened for he sensed a powerful perception sweep through him!

Although the perception was concealed, it brought with it an immense suppression. He had the feeling of having his soul sea seen through in an instant.

A Godly Monarch!

Yi Yun knew that it was from the Godly Monarch Crystal Refinement Master in the immortal palace above him. Although he did not pay close attention to the refinements done by juniors beneath him, he had ultimately sensed something amiss.

”Seal off your mind!”

Bai Yueyin's voice resounded in Yi Yun's mind. In fact, Yi Yun had done so without Bai Yueyin's exhortation. Ever since he stepped into the ore refinement pocket world, he had converged his dantian and carefully concealed his Yuan Qi and psyche energy.

Yi Yun sensed that Bai Yueyin's soul force had spread out like a web, fusing her presence with his soul sea.

Yi Yun did not resist Bai Yueyin at that critical moment. They were now in the same boat, and if anything untoward were to happen to Yi Yun, Bai Yueyin would be doomed as well.

”Phew–”

The Godly Monarch's perception swept past Yi Yun, but failed to discover anything odd about him. Yi Yun's cultivation level had also been concealed.

Yi Yun's soul was powerful to begin with. In addition, there was Bai Yueyin, an ancient Godly Monarch, so even the Godly Monarch Crystal Refinement Master in the immortal palace failed to discover anything odd when the duo combined their forces.

”This little guy is quite interesting…”

Inside the immortal palace, a purple-robed elder opened his eyes while enveloped in a layer of black mist. But immediately following that, he closed his eyes again.

He had lived for so long that few things in this world could excite him.

He did not pay attention to Songyue's crystal refinement process, but he knew that she had encountered a problem with her Crystal Refining Furnace. He had not paid any attention originally, since he did not bother with trivial matters such as furnace explosions. However, he never expected that the explosion he predicted would suddenly be stopped. The Crystal Refining Furnace had miraculously calmed down and the person who had resolved the situation seemed to be the weak Yi Yun.

This surprised the purple-robed elder, but it was only a light surprise. Throughout his long lifespan, he encountered numerous juniors with decent abilities and secrets. Gaining his attention would require a sufficient level of prowess.

In the hundreds of millions of years, only a handful of juniors had won his attention. These few of them had been recruited as his disciples, but Yi Yun was still far from reaching his required standard.

”Yi Yun, thank you. I apologize for mocking you.” Songyue was one who could go with the flow even though Yi Yun had fleeced her by raising a bold condition, taking away three years of her savings at once. She had lived frugally to save that up to aid her breakthrough to the Supremacy realm.

Even though it was a heavy price, Songyue found it much better than a furnace explosion. She had no wish to implicate Taishan and company, much less lose her chance of becoming Master Duanmu's apprentice.

”You said that I offended someone and was plotted against?” Songyue asked Yi Yun as she recalled his words.

”That's likely the case. One of the ores you used had been tampered with.”

”Then, I guess I know who it was…” Songyue took a deep breath as a cold glint flashed in her eyes.

She never expected that person to take action at this critical juncture of her being highly likely to become Master Duanmu's apprentice. What a vile person.

”In that case, be careful. I wish to cultivate in seclusion. I won't be joining you for a while.”

Yi Yun had no intention of refining ore from the start. He had come here hoping to abuse the situation by absorbing energies with his Purple Crystal to recover his strength. His plan had failed, but thanks to Songyue, he now had no need to worry about having material to absorb.

”Alright. There's really no need for you to do such things. However… you have to be careful of Cang Gu…” warned Songyue.

”Thank you.” Yi Yun bade Songyue farewell before returning to his residence.

The moment he entered his room, Yi Yun set up restraints to prevent spying. Meanwhile, Bai Yueyin released her perception from within Yi Yun's soul sea to help check his surroundings.

With Bai Yueyin's Godly Monarch-level perception, there was nothing that could escape her.

”Go ahead and cultivate. There doesn't seem to be anyone who will pay any attention to you on this ore mining cruiser. Quickly replenish Xintong's lifeblood forces.”
