C330 She Struggled to Hold on

Gradually, Du Qi felt a little strained again. When he felt that he could not hold on much longer, he discharged the waste gas that had been separated from the cauldron. Every time at this moment... Du Qi felt relaxed. He took this opportunity to refine the medicine. He expelled the waste gas from the cauldron along with the waste gas. This repeated countless times. The dregs in the medicine had been removed, and the waste in the smoke had been removed. The medicine in the cauldron was still boiling, and the pressure in the cauldron was gradually increasing. When there was no more waste to relieve the pressure in the cauldron, Du Qi could not help but return to the old road. He desperately resisted the furnace that was about to explode. He did not dare to relax at all. However, at this moment, Du Qi didn't have the same gloomy and depressed feeling as before. Instead, he was secretly excited. Because he knew that this was the true final moment. As long as he could survive this moment... Once the medicinal herbs in the cauldron were completely melted together, it would be a success.

Although Du Qi didn't know how long it would take for the medicinal herbs to completely fuse together, he didn't dare slack off in the slightest. He could only muster up his courage and circulate his remaining true essence to reinforce the furnace. At the same time, he maintained a constant temperature and kept heating the medicinal liquid.

Du Qi was already mentally and mentally exhausted. His essence, energy, and spirit had all been overdrawn. At this moment, when he used his full strength, it only took a moment for him to feel powerless. His heart seemed to never stop beating, and his originally uniform and slender breathing suddenly became heavy. He, who had never sweated in the past few years of cultivation, was already drenched in sweat. His entire body was trembling uncontrollably due to excessive channeling. He shook left and right as if he could not even sit still. His true essence had also reached the point of drying up. At this time, the medicine in the cauldron hadn't completely melted yet.

After estimating the situation, Du Qi couldn't help but feel sad. If the situation continued like this... With his remaining strength, he could not support the moment the medicine completely melted, let alone absorbing the medicine into the cauldron to refine it. After refining the medicinal liquid into a pill, it seemed that today's pill refinement still ended in failure. The consequences of failure were truly unbearable. Not to mention wasting the medicinal ingredients that Daoist priest Fenghuo had gathered over the past few decades for nothing. In the end, the explosive force of the furnace was sufficient to raze the entire house to the ground. The house and the surrounding people would inevitably suffer injuries. He himself would also die along with the explosion of the furnace. At the very least, he would be crippled for life.

Seeing this, Du Qi couldn't help but summon his courage once more, and condense the remaining true essence within his body. He used the True Yin Vital Spirit to form a tight wall of air that firmly wrapped around the furnace. The True Yang Vital Spirit, on the other hand, seeped into the medicinal liquid with an even hotter temperature. He used the last of his strength to draw the medicinal liquid into the cauldron. At the same time, he desperately opened his mouth and shouted, "Get out!"

Logically speaking, Du Qi did not wait for the medicinal essence to completely fuse together before throwing the medicinal essence into the cauldron. Even if everything was under control, there was no hope of success, much less when he was about to suffer a crushing defeat. The reason why Du Qi did this was because he had made the most helpless choice when he had no other choice but to despair.

Under such circumstances, Du Qi would have died for sure. However, he was still unwilling to die. He felt that it was unfair for him to die under the pill refinement technique of Unique Universe. However, he was powerless to save himself. He thought that since it had already come to this, why not throw the medicinal catalyst into the medicinal liquid and see what changes would occur in the end? That was why Du Qi did his best to absorb the medicinal catalyst into the cauldron. He opened his mouth and told Daoist priest Fenghuo to quickly leave, but due to the lack of time, in addition, he didn't have any extra strength to speak, so he only said two words.

Before Du Qi could finish his words, there was an explosive sound. The furnace formed by Du Qi's True Yin Vital Spirit finally couldn't withstand the powerful pressure in the cauldron and exploded. His voice was loud and clear in the explosion, but Daoist priest Fenghuo could already hear it. However, this sound was made by Du Qi using the last of his strength. It was mixed with the explosive sound. It was inevitable that there would be some changes in his voice, which made Daoist priest Fenghuo only hear the word "rise." Of course, he could not understand Du Qi's intention. Therefore, he still sat in his original position without moving a bit.

When the furnace exploded, the medicinal herbs finally melted together as Du Qi wished. Fortunately, there was still a tight air wall surrounding the furnace, so it did not splash out. Daoist priest Fenghuo was not caught in the crossfire.

When the furnace exploded, the boiling medicinal liquid and hot air inside the air wall churned unceasingly. It seemed as if it was unwilling to be bound, and wanted to break through the air wall that was suddenly expanding out of Du Qi's control. Due to the impact of the furnace's explosion, those few medicinal ingredients had only fallen into the boiling medicinal liquid at this moment. Immediately, a faint smoke emerged and easily fused with the medicinal liquid. However, it caused the medicinal liquid to collide even more violently and devour the extremely weak air wall. In addition, Du Qi used all of his true essence to stimulate the heat and fiercely stabbed into the medicinal liquid. This caused the wall of air that directly wrapped around the medicinal liquid to rapidly expand like a balloon that was suddenly pumped in air. It floated above his head in a precarious situation.

At this time, Du Qi was no longer able to control the air wall formed by the True Yin Vital Spirit. He could only watch helplessly as it rapidly expanded. The wall became thinner and thinner. He thought that the final disaster had finally arrived. It was indeed unexpected that he would be able to drag Daoist priest Fenghuo along with him to die here, but Daoist priest Fenghuo did not realize that the danger had already reached a point where he could not guard against it at all. Du Qi still looked at him with concern. He could not help but feel anxious. He desperately wanted to call Daoist priest Fenghuo out again, but before he could say anything, he "pounced!" He spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky and collapsed in the chair.

Although Daoist priest Fenghuo readily took out the medicinal ingredients and handed them to Du Qi to refine the pill, he was a little reluctant in his heart. After seeing Du Qi easily refine a few medicinal ingredients, Daoist priest Fenghuo could not help but gradually relax. Later on, when he saw Du Qi continuously discharge the waste and remove the dregs in the medicinal ingredients, he could not help but show an approving expression. He was secretly a little happy in his heart. It seemed that he had finally made the right bet this time. He did not reject Du Qi's request to refine pills for him. Otherwise... Not only did he offend Du Qi, but he also didn't know when he would be able to concoct the pill.

When he saw Du Qi's sweaty and heavy shirt, Daoist priest Fenghuo could not help but feel a little nervous. He was worried that Du Qi was still young and could not help much. He could only stand by the side and worry until Du Qi called out and the furnace exploded. Du Qi spurted out blood, and Daoist priest Fenghuo realized that the situation was not good. Seeing that his success was about to come to an end, he could not help but feel a chill in his heart. He was not willing to let his years of hard work go to waste, but there was nothing he could do to save it. He suddenly felt that he had lost all hope, and that there was no meaning in living anymore. Death might be the best relief, so even though Daoist priest Fenghuo felt that the situation was critical, however, he did not want to avoid it.
