Chapter 54: Clouds Heaven, Mist Earth

young master of the Luo family doesn't use the power of the spirit demon, instead he wants to incite these beasts to deal with you!Bai Ze disagreed with this statement: “If you want to talk about tort...Although Jiang Yun hadn't refined any pills for over half a year, he was still very skilled. In just half a day, he successfully refined a Tianjing Dan, and it was even a top-grade Earth Pill.

Tianjing Dan was thrown to Laohei. Jiang Yun didn't rest, and began tirelessly trying to refine Tongtian Dan.

Although Gingercloud was confident, this was his first time refining the Heavenly Ascension Pill. Moreover, the flames needed for refining were supplied by his own spiritual energy. When controlling the heat for some materials, he wasn't accurate enough, which inevitably led to a series of failures.

And once he failed, Jiang Yun would not be discouraged, nor would he rush to start refining again immediately. Instead, he would first sit down, studying the scraps of failed materials in the stone pot while carefully recalling every step he had taken during the refining process, pondering the mistakes he had made, summarizing his experience, and only then would he begin his next attempt.

Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye. Old Hei, who had remained silent and motionless all this time, finally stood up and blocked Jiang Yun, who was about to begin another round of alchemy, saying: "Jiang brother, take a break! I don't need just one or two pills of the Heavenly Reaching Dan. There's plenty of time, no need to rush. Don't wear yourself out."

For the past two weeks, Jiang Yun had been working almost non-stop. He was truly exhausted to the extreme only briefly rested, and just moments later he sat up again, continuing to refine pills. Although the Heavenly Ascension Pill still hadn't been successfully refined, Lao Hei simply couldn't bear it any longer, so he had to speak up and stop him.

However, Jiang Yun refused Lao Hei's kindness and said: "Lao Hei Big Brother, I'm fine. When I was in the village, I often did this too, and I've gotten used to it. Besides, I have a feeling that this Pill of Heavenly Ascension should be almost ready."

After finishing, Jiang Yun ignored Lao Hei and continued to refine the Tongtian Dan in an orderly manner.

To this, Lao Hei couldn't say much more, he could only walk back to his original spot and sit down, watching Jiang Yun continue working. However, the fondness he had for Jiang Yun in his heart had increased by a few points.

If someone else had experienced so many failures, they would probably have given up or taken a break to start over again. However, Jiang Yun never stopped persevering.

What's most admirable is that he remained calm and composed throughout, neither arrogant nor rash, neither hurried nor slow. This impressed even Lao He greatly.

>Another ten days passed. When Jiang Yun finally handed a pill called "Tiān Tiān Dan" to Lao Hei, a look of relief was more apparent than joy on Lao Hei's face.

Even just glancing at the Sky Piercing Pill, he reached out and gently pressed down on Jiang Yun's body. "Brother Jiang, you've worked hard. Take a rest now!"

Though a cultivator's body is much stronger than an ordinary person's, nearly a month of near-constant, sleepless refining of pills would be unbearable even for someone made of iron.

"Great!"

This time, Jiang Yun didn't refuse. As soon as his voice fell, he fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

In order to successfully refine this heavenly elixir, his physical and mental strength had truly reached their limits.

Looking at Jiang Yun, who was sleeping soundly and carefree in front of him, Lao Hei's usually withered face unexpectedly showed a rare genuine smile. This also allowed another figure to gradually emerge in his mind.

"For how long has it been since I've lived in such peace with humans That child, he should be successful by now, but I wonder, does he still remember me"

As if guarding Ginger Cloud, Lao Hei silently sat beside him. From this moment on, in his heart, he truly acknowledged Ginger Cloud, acknowledging this human child!

After looking at Ginger Cloud's slightly immature face for a long time, Lao Hei finally retracted his gaze and picked up the Heavenly Ascension Pill. He carefully looked it over.

Just one glance was enough to cause his face to subtly change.

Old Hei was already shocked that Ginger Cloud had successfully refined a third-grade pill in just one month, but he never expected that this Heavenly Ascension Pill would actually be a human pill.

To know, the higher the grade of elixir, the smaller the probability of refining a high-grade one.

If a Tier 3 alchemist's success rate in refining Tier 3 pills is one in ten, then the probability of refining a Human Pill would be one in one hundred, the probability of a Earth Pill would be one in a thousand, and as for a Heaven Pill, it would only be one in ten thousand!

"Three-grade spirit pills, if I were to sell these, they would be worth at least ten thousand three-grade spirit stones. Yet, I only gave this child a pile of one-grade spirit stones... No, I have to find a way to compensate him."

Actually, although Lao Hei had previously fooled Jiang Yun with a first-grade spirit stone, the two formulas he gave him were incredibly valuable and could easily offset the cost of Jiang Yun helping him refine the pills.

However, now that he had accepted Jiang Yun in his heart, he naturally didn't want Jiang Yun to suffer a loss.

"What am I compensating him for I've been trapped here for hundreds of years, and I don't have much left. Although there are a few things that are still decent, he wouldn't be able to use them right now. Giving them to him would only bring him trouble and harm him!"

As if speaking to himself, Lao Hei suddenly threw the Heavenly Ascension Pill in his hand backward without looking. In the void, a giant paw covered in fur appeared out of thin air, grabbed the Heavenly Ascension Pill, and then vanished without a trace.

After a moment, Lao Hei's eyes lit up and he said, "I got it! Although cultivators also practice magical arts, when it comes to mastery of the arts, our demon race is unrivaled. How about..."

Jiang Yun slept for a whole day and night. When he finally opened his eyes, he was still not fully awake when he realized that the entire underground cave had been completely enveloped in mist at some point.

However, this fog wasn't the black that Lao Hei transformed into, but the common white kind.

The first one is from the top. Please note that I have removed the HTML tags as requested, and only translated the content within them. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Beneath the thick fog, even Ginger Cloud's sharp eyesight could not see beyond a meter. However, he could clearly feel the air around him filled with moisture, and even his own body was covered in droplets of water.

Jiang Yun knew these mists were related to Lao Hei, so he hurriedly sat up and shouted: "Big brother Lao Hei"

"I'm here!" Lao Hei's voice came from within the mist.

As his voice fell, a "whoosh" echoed through the cavern. The mist within erupted, swirling madly and transforming into several mist dragons. They surged in unison, converging towards a single point.

In the blink of an eye, all the mist had dissipated, revealing Lao Hei's figure. In his palm, however, he held a spherical cloud of mist.

It's obvious that the fog bank is formed by the condensation of the mist just now.

Then, Lao Hei's palm clenched gently. The mist dissipated silently and without a trace, but instead of turning back into fog, it transformed into a pool of water that flowed down between his fingers.

However, the instant this stream of water touched the ground, each drop suddenly burst open again, reforming into mist and rising upward.

In the blink of an eye, the cave was once again shrouded in thick fog.

And this time, the fog above was so thick that it condensed into a heavy cloud. Though the fog below was slightly less dense, Jiang Yun could clearly feel that the earth beneath him had become much softer. It seemed as if he wasn't sitting on solid ground, but rather upon the fog itself.

This series of changes left Jiang Yun's head spinning. He just couldn't figure out what Lao Hei was up to.

Just then, from the mist in front of Jiang Yun, Lao Hei's figure walked out again. With a smile on his face, he said: "Brother Jiang, I wonder if you'd like to learn this set of Cloud Heaven and Earth Mist Technique"rly that Gao Song's hand held a top-grade heaven and earth stone.Actually, using Spirit Stones, Heaven and Earth Stones, etc., for cultivation is the path most cultivators would choose.While Ginger Cl...
