People are in the magic card, instigating rebellion against the world.

Chapter 97 Supernatural Power Upgrade! Commanding Wind and Rain! Controlling the Weather!
Ye Hui curled the corners of his mouth into a smile.

"Sakura has become more proactive now. I still remember how you were initially unwilling to become the Cardcaptor Sakura, and how many times you cried while hugging Kero~"

"Ugh, stop talking!"

When Sakura's embarrassing past was brought up, her cheeks instantly turned pink, and she turned her face away somewhat shyly.

The moon gradually climbed above the treetops, its soft light bathing the path and illuminating the way home for the three.

Ye Hui said goodbye to Xiaoying and Zhishi at the entrance of the penguin park, and then turned around and went back to his villa.

Once inside.

He couldn't wait to open the system panel.

His gaze fell on the reward.

[Supernatural Evolution x1]

He has already mastered quite a few supernatural abilities.

Swordsmanship, demon slaying, Xuanming Wuxiang, Thousand Illusory Light and Shadow...

Each one has its own use.

Deciding which one to allocate points to requires careful consideration.

The effects of Xuanming Wuxiang and Huanguang Qianying are currently sufficient.

While evolution is certainly better, it's not the most urgent need, and can be put on a lower priority later.

Ye Hui stroked his chin and continued his analysis.

Demon Slayer is an attack skill, and its power will definitely be even greater after evolution.

However, with his current strength, his output is basically excessive when dealing with the Clow Cards, so there is no need to strengthen him for the time being.

After eliminating several possibilities.

Only two options remain.

—Riding the wind and summoning the rain.

Riding the wind freed him from the limitations of flying on a sword, allowing him to soar freely through the air.

As its name suggests, the rain-summoning vessel can bring down rainwater.

Both of these supernatural abilities are rated as low-grade in the system, belonging to the most basic abilities.

After evolving into Wind Chaser, he might be able to transform into a gust of wind, making him even faster.

Perhaps it can also achieve teleportation, instantly traversing distances.

Everything felt great.

"But summoning rain..."

A word suddenly popped into Ye Hui's mind.

—To command the wind and rain.

He had thought before that he had gathered both the power to summon wind and rain, but in reality, it was just a patchwork.

After all, riding the wind is not the same as summoning the wind.

His supernatural powers are all based on the Thirty-Six Heavenly Divine Powers and the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers.

If the ability to summon rain can truly evolve into the ability to control wind and rain, then it will be far more than just a simple matter of rain.

Wind, rain, and clouds.

Even frost and snow...

Doesn't this amount to having a mobile weather weapon?

Thinking of this, Ye Hui's heart beat a little faster.

If one were to master this ability, dealing with certain Clow Cards in the future would be a complete game-changer!

Moreover, this ability is extremely useful in other areas as well.

"I'll choose Raincaller!" Ye Hui made up his mind.

He has no shortage of means to attack or defend himself.

What's lacking is precisely this strategic capability—the ability to command the wind and rain, and to significantly influence the environment!
"System, use the supernatural power to evolve the Rain Summoning skill!"

[Ding! The supernatural power "Summoning Rain" has evolved into "Summoning Wind and Rain"!]

[Summoning Wind and Rain (Mid-Grade): Using one's own spiritual power as a guide, one can manipulate the air currents and moisture in the world, summoning gales, heavy rains, and even dispersing clouds and stopping the rain. One can also unleash blizzards or frost, possessing mastery of the art of controlling clouds and rain.]

Seeing the refreshed description on the system panel, Ye Hui was overjoyed.

"Holy crap! It's really evolved into something that can control the wind and rain!"

Mid-grade Divine Power!
This is his first proper mid-grade divine ability!
Previously, almost everything I knew was of inferior quality!
"No, I have to try!"

Ye Hui could not contain his excitement.

I want to see it with my own eyes right now.

Just how powerful is this ability to summon wind and rain?
Ye Hui walked to the open space in the backyard, preparing to try out his newly acquired "Summoning Wind and Rain".

He closed his eyes, his eyelashes casting a faint shadow beneath them, and the spiritual energy around him flowed slowly like a gentle stream.

His divine sense spread out like an invisible net, gently touching the surrounding air currents and moisture.

Even the finest dust particles in the night sky.

In that instant, it was as if countless invisible threads connected him to heaven and earth.

The breath of the wind, the trajectory of the clouds, and the drifting of water vapor were all clearly reflected in his perception.

He slightly relaxed his brow, and the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up.

This power, resonating with heaven and earth, is more real than ever before.

He seemed capable of stirring up the world with a mere wave of his hand, and of changing the course of rivers with a single glance!

His spiritual energy flowed freely through his meridians, bringing him a sense of complete freedom.

"Let's try a little wind first."

As soon as Ye Hui had this thought, the spiritual energy in his body surged along his meridians to his fingertips, as light and quick as spring water breaking through ice.

The next second, in the open space of the backyard.

The airflow suddenly awakened.

At first, only a few wisps of wind brushed past the grass blades, tumbling over their tips, while the surrounding leaves, which had been motionless, swayed gently, making a soft rustling sound.

As his thoughts shifted, his spiritual power surged forth like a tidal wave, and the wind suddenly intensified.

The trees in the distance were bent over, their branches creaking and groaning as they collided with each other.

The empty clothes hangers on the clothesline were rolled up and started to spin.

It crashed into the bamboo pole with a loud bang.

Ye Hui's clothes fluttered in the wind, and his sleeves bulged.

Even the air seemed to carry a rushing force, leaving a slightly cool sensation as it brushed against my cheek.

He opened his arms, letting the wind rush through his armpits.

The spiritual energy within his body resonated with the winds of heaven and earth, instantly transforming him into a part of the wind.

Free and unrestrained!
"It's great! It's so great!"

Ye Hui suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze reflecting the afterimages of leaves swirling in the wind, his excitement almost overflowing.

This immense power, which can be controlled at will, is far superior to the small-scale maneuvers of "riding the wind" where one could only rely on external forces.

It felt a hundred times, a thousand times better!
"Let it rain some more!"

He lightly touched the roof of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and spiritual energy surged from his dantian, guided by his divine sense, rushing towards the water vapor deep in the night sky.

The once clear night sky was now filled with moisture, which seemed to be summoned from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, it condensed into a small patch of dark cloud, like a piece of cotton soaked in water.

It pressed heavily overhead, completely obscuring the moon.

"pat, pat..."

The first raindrop hit the bluestone slab, splashing water higher than finger joints.

Then came the second and the third.
Crackling!

Large raindrops fell densely, weaving a shimmering web of water on the ground.

In just a moment, the raindrops connected into silvery lines, and then turned into a torrential downpour.

The sound of rain "splashing" filled the entire backyard!
A transparent curtain of water hung under the eaves, and the shadows of distant trees became blurred in the rain, leaving only swaying outlines.

Ye Hui stood in the rain, letting the raindrops wet his hair.

He then channeled his spiritual energy, forming a thin barrier on his body.

It separated us from the icy chill, leaving only the refreshing feeling of raindrops brushing against our skin.

He glanced down at the Void Spirit Field beside him, where the leaves of the spirit herbs trembled slightly in the rain.

Ye Hui composed himself, lightly tapped his fingertips, and a gentle spiritual energy enveloped the spiritual field.

Rainwater falling on the edge of the spiritual field will automatically divert and meander out along the field ridges.

"receive!"

With a silent recitation, the spiritual energy surging towards the dark clouds abruptly retreated.

The torrential rain stopped instantly.

The last few raindrops hung suspended in mid-air, as if frozen in place.

It then landed with a "plop" on the puddle, creating a ring of tiny ripples.

The dark clouds were parted and quickly dispersed, revealing the bright moon behind them.

The moonlight once again bathed the backyard, casting dappled shadows on the damp ground.

Ye Hui looked at the grass glistening with water at his feet, then looked up at the night sky.

The spiritual energy within his body stirred restlessly, eager to try.

"Then... what about snow?"

The late summer nights in Tomoeda Town should be sultry, with the evening breeze carrying a damp heat.

But at this moment, Ye Hui stood in the open space in his backyard, looking up at the deep night sky, and his spiritual energy began to slowly sink, carrying a cool sensation.

Now, what he wants to try is the wonder beyond this "summoning wind and rain" supernatural power.

—Use spiritual power to generate coldness, causing water vapor to condense into snow!

He took a deep breath, and his consciousness reconnected with heaven and earth.

This time, his spiritual power also had a touch of fierceness.

A chill spread rapidly from him.

The water droplets on the grass instantly froze into thin ice flowers, tearing a hole in the sweltering air.

First it became cool like an autumn morning, then it turned into a bone-chilling damp cold, making people shiver involuntarily.

The water vapor in the air no longer condenses into rain as usual, but instead, enveloped in the chill, it transforms directly into countless rice-grain-sized ice crystals, shimmering and sparkling under the moonlight.

One piece, two pieces...

Glistening snowflakes drifted silently down from the sky, swirling in the evening breeze of late summer.

Some landed on his hair, some clung to his shoulders, bringing a slightly cool touch, but were instantly melted by the warmth of the spiritual energy emanating from his body.

"It really did snow."

Ye Hui stretched out his hand, palm facing up.

A snowflake landed right on his hand.

Then, Ye Hui watched as it slowly melted into a round water droplet in his palm, feeling cool and refreshing.

A thought struck him, and he channeled his spiritual energy even more freely.

The snowflakes gradually became denser, turning from a few scattered flakes into a flurry of goose feather snowflakes, like countless white butterflies dancing in the air.

Just a moment.

The grass beneath Ye Hui's feet was covered with a thin layer of white snow, and snow accumulated in the cracks of the bluestone slabs, like a silver edge.

Snow also fell on the fence in the distance, outlining its winding shape.

The originally sweltering summer night had taken on a touch of wintery scenery.

The snow reflected the moonlight, making it almost unreal.

He stood in the snow, snowflakes clinging to his hair, his breath condensing into white vapor.

The spiritual energy within his body flowed more and more freely.

Sometimes it makes the snow fall lightly, sometimes it makes the snow stop, completely at its own pace, with a kind of joy of looking down on the world and playing with the wind and snow!

The scene was strangely beautiful, with a dreamlike quality that defied all logic.

After all, it's still late summer or early autumn, yet it suddenly snowed.
at the same time.

At the weather station in Tomoeda Town.

The staff member on duty was yawning, his eyelids heavy.

Suddenly, the instrument in front of him emitted a sharp alarm.

"Drip-drip-"

He jolted awake, sat bolt upright, and stared at the screen: "What's going on?!"

The data displayed on the screen.

Temperatures in a certain area of ​​Tomoeda Town are dropping rapidly, falling by nearly 20 degrees Celsius in just a few minutes.

"Is the instrument broken?"

This was his first reaction.

However, when he retrieved the data from the backup instrument, the numbers displayed on the screen remained exactly the same as before.

"What...what's going on?!"

He stood up in shock, frantically operating the equipment, trying to find the cause of the sudden temperature drop, his face filled with disbelief.

Ye Hui, the instigator of all this, stopped using his supernatural powers after about ten minutes of experimentation, still feeling unsatisfied.

The snow gradually stopped, and the temperature slowly rose.

Only the remaining snow on the grass, which had not yet completely melted, proved that the spectacular scene was not an illusion.

This was the first time he had ever possessed the ability to truly change the weather and climate of the world.

While supernatural powers were useful in the past, they were mostly focused on oneself or targeted at individuals.

Such a large-scale environmental impact
This is the first time!
Ye Hui felt a surge of excitement.

Is this the thrill of immortals ruling over all things in heaven and earth?
What he was completely unaware of was that his supernatural experiment had left the meteorologists of Tomoeda Town with an unsolved mystery.

However, they may have already gotten used to it.

—After all, the commotion caused by the Clow Cards every day is far more bizarre than this.

the next day.

As soon as Ye Hui entered the classroom, he heard his classmates chattering about something.

"Have you heard? It seems like someone in our area saw snow last night!"

"Really? Summer just ended, how could it be snowing? You must be seeing things."

Ye Hui blinked.

This description sounds exactly like the scene when he tested his supernatural powers last night.

Ye Hui calmly sat down in his seat, pricked up his ears, and continued to eavesdrop on the conversations of the other students.

"My cousin, who lives in the villa area, said it seems to be around there..."

Okay, this time it's not a coincidence, it's just that his experiment yesterday was noticed by others.

Hey?
Strangely, nobody seems to notice the things the Clow Cards have caused.

Why is it that as soon as he enters the school gate after it snows, people are talking about it?
However, controlling the weather is not like other supernatural powers; it's too noisy to hide, so it's just that it can't be kept secret.

What else can be done?

"Yoko, oh hello~!" Tomoyo walked over with a warm smile.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

"Good morning, Sakura, Tomoyo!" Ye Hui composed himself.

"Ye-kun, have you heard?" Sakura leaned over excitedly, her voice brimming with joy. "It was on the news this morning! They said there was supernatural weather in Tomoeda Town last night! That's amazing!"

Ye Hui's lips twitched, and he chuckled dryly, "Really? That's quite peculiar."

Tomoyo gazed at Ye Hui, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"The news said that the experts at the meteorological station couldn't explain the phenomenon at all, and they called it the 'Ten-Minute Miracle of Tomoeda Town'."

clam?
Seriously? All the trouble the Clow Cards cause is always explained as weather conditions.

How did his ability to conjure up a snowfall become a "ten-minute miracle"?

While it's certainly unusual for snow to fall in early autumn, is it really necessary to go this far?

Tomoyo's tone remained gentle: "This is truly a very, very unusual phenomenon, isn't it, Ye-kun? Kero says this shouldn't be caused by the Clow Cards."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +13】

She's here! She's here!
Tomoyo-chan has arrived with her incredible intuition!

Ye Hui smiled and said, "Yes, this is very unusual. Maybe it was done by aliens."

"alien?"

Sakura's eyes instantly lit up with curiosity. "Are there really aliens?"

Zhi Shi didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Ye Hui.

From his angle, he could see her eyelashes trembling slightly, and a smile playing on her lips.

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +12】

Ye Hui smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, I was just talking nonsense. There were no aliens. Yesterday's snow was just something I made while testing my supernatural powers."

"Huh? Yezi, you lied to me again!" Sakura immediately pouted. "You've fooled me so many times!"

Ye Hui coaxed with a grin, "Isn't it because you're so cute, Sakura? Yamazaki always tries to fool you, doesn't he?"

Sakura blushed and muttered, "Anyway, Ye Zi, you're not allowed to lie to me anymore!"

Ye Hui chuckled: "Next time for sure, next time for sure..."

He always readily admits his mistakes; whether or not he corrects them is another matter.
Next time for sure~
At this time.

The school bell rang.

Mr. Terada walked in with his textbook.

"Class begins!"

Sakura turned around, leaving Ye Hui with her back turned, even the ahoge on her head seemed a little dissatisfied, and she jumped up and down angrily.

Ye Hui shook his head helplessly. It seemed he would have to put in some effort to coax people again.

Seeing this, Tomoyo's lips curled into a mischievous smile, but she didn't say anything more.

During class.

Ye Hui always felt an undisguised gaze coming from his right.

He could guess who it was without even turning his head.

From the moment she woke up, Li Meiling’s gaze was fixed intently on him.

During class, Ye Hui would occasionally snap out of his reverie and catch her pretending to listen attentively.

But the corner of her eye never left him.

During breaks, Ye Hui would go to the restroom and bump into her in the hallway, "coincidentally" passing by.

It's lunch time.

Ye Hui, Xiao Ying, and Zhi Shi sat down at their usual spot and opened their bento boxes.

Li Meiling pulled Li Xiaolang to sit down in the seat next to her.

"that……"

Sakura, biting her chopsticks, whispered to Ye Hui, "Ye, does Meiling... have a problem with you? She keeps staring at you."

Tomoyo chimed in softly, "Her gaze hasn't left Ye since this morning."

Ye Hui sighed and said helplessly, "What else could it be? It's for cultivating immortality." Li Meiling's execution is just too strong.

I only showed interest in cultivating immortality yesterday.

Today, we immediately started a 24/7 all-around monitoring mode with no blind spots.

They're even more dedicated than private investigators.

"She has no magic power, and she's very strong-willed. She wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with Li Xiaolang, so she probably pins her hopes on cultivating immortality," Ye Hui explained.

"Oh, I see." Sakura suddenly realized, then looked at Li Meiling in the distance with a hint of sympathy in her eyes.

But there was nothing she could do about it.

Actually, when she first came into contact with the Clow Cards, she didn't even want to master any magic.

After school, the three of them walked home together.

as predicted.

That familiar figure followed them again, always keeping a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

"Mei-ling is still following behind," Tomoyo said softly, turning her head to the side.

Ye Hui nodded, a wicked thought suddenly forming in his mind.

He suddenly stopped and turned around.

Li Meiling, who was following behind, was startled by this sudden action.

In a panic, she quickly hid behind a nearby telephone pole.

Unfortunately, the width of that telephone pole couldn't hide her signature double buns at all; they were easily recognizable.

[Li Meiling's mood score +11]

Ye Hui raised his voice and shouted towards the telephone pole, "Li Meiling, the telephone pole isn't very good at concealing us. Why don't you try a different tree?"

"Pfft."

Sakura and Tomoyo couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh when they heard this.

Li Meiling's face flushed red instantly, the blush spreading from her ears to her cheeks.

She shuffled out from behind the telephone pole, stubbornly insisting, "Who...who was following you! My house is this way too! I was just passing by! Yes, just passing by!"

[Li Meiling's mood score +14]

Sakura pointed in another direction, tilting her head in confusion: "But, Meiling, I remember your and Li's house is over there, right?"

"I……"

Li Meiling was speechless, and could only glare at Ye Hui with a hint of embarrassment and anger.

[Li Meiling's mood score +13]

"Mind your own business! Can't I take the longer route if I want to!"

After saying that, she no longer cared about pretending. She stomped her foot, turned around, and ran quickly towards her home—the real direction—without even looking back.

San San (Benefit)

Her back view looked somewhat like she was fleeing in panic, and her steps were much faster than usual.

His running style is exactly like Li Xiaolang's.

Ye Hui shook his head helplessly.

It was Sakura who exposed her excuse.

Why are you glaring at him instead of Sakura?
However, he finally managed to escape Li Meiling's "enthusiastic" gaze.

After saying goodbye to Sakura and the others, I returned home and sat down on the sofa.

Ye Hui felt that the whole world had become quiet.

He suddenly remembered that after completing the sect trial mission in the Spirit Medicine Small World.

The system also rewarded me with something nice.

—Advanced Alchemy Furnace!

"I almost forgot about this treasure."

Ye Hui slapped his forehead and quickly took out the alchemy furnace from his system backpack.

An antique and elegant bronze tripod appeared out of nowhere in the center of the living room. It was about half a person's height and had a three-legged shape that made it look stable and grand.

The furnace body is engraved with intricate cloud and flame patterns, with what appears to be flowing light moving between the patterns.

A faint fluctuation of spiritual energy slowly emanated from the furnace body, lingering around it, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.

Anyway, it's much better than those makeshift stoves he made himself before!
[Advanced Alchemy Furnace: Significantly increases the success rate of alchemy, has a small chance of improving the grade of the finished pill, and effectively reduces the spiritual energy consumption during alchemy.]

"It increases the success rate, improves the grade, and even saves spiritual energy... Isn't this a standard alchemy artifact?!"

Ye Hui's eyes lit up as he looked at it, and he gently stroked the cool furnace body, finding it smooth and delicate to the touch.

He had blown up countless furnaces in his attempts to refine higher-level pills.

Not only did they waste a lot of medicinal herbs, they also almost set their own house on fire.

It's so heartbreaking that anyone who hears it or sees it will weep; even a lovely girl is grieving for me.

Now we have this advanced alchemy furnace.

Does this mean that his spring as an alchemist is about to arrive?

Ye Hui rubbed his hands together, his eyes full of anticipation.

He still had a good amount of spiritual herbs that he had harvested and stored from the Void Spiritual Field, so he could take them out and test the effects of the new furnace.

Ye Hui decided to try his hand at the high-level pills that he had failed to use many times before.

In the past, when using a furnace made by his own alchemy skills to refine high-grade pills...

Without exception,

—The whole thing exploded.

The precious elixir eventually turned into a pile of charcoal, leaving not even a trace.

But now, he is no longer the novice alchemist Ye Hui he once was.

Instead, it was Ye Hui, wielding a high-level alchemy furnace!
Ye Hui stood in front of the alchemy furnace, a pill formula appearing in his mind.

He closed his eyes and scanned the list of medicinal herbs above with his consciousness.

After confirming that everything was correct, he took a deep breath and lifted the medicine basket behind him.

—The medicinal herbs inside had already been properly processed according to the prescription.

After removing the dirt from the roots of the green-veined grass, the veins on its leaves shimmered with a pale blue light under the lamp.

The half-dried Scrophularia ningpoensis had its blackened outer skin peeled off, revealing the translucent white flesh inside, with fine sap still clinging to the cross-section.

And the purple salvia miltiorrhiza slices, each slice as evenly thick as if measured with a ruler, with a faint purple tinge at the edges.

He followed the order recorded in the prescription.

First, pinch three pieces of purple ginseng, and then release a little spiritual energy from your fingertips.

The thin flakes floated into the alchemy furnace like feathers and landed on the Bagua pattern at the bottom of the furnace.

Next was the Azure Grass. He gently held the grass leaves with both hands, and with a flick of his wrist, the entire spiritual herb slid into the furnace through his palms.

As the leaves fall, they unfurl slightly, like a layer of bluish-green velvet spread out inside the furnace.

Finally, he sprinkled five pieces of Scrophularia ningpoensis flesh into the medicine with a silver spoon, afraid that too much force would damage its medicinal properties.

Once all the medicinal herbs are in the furnace.

Ye Hui closed the stove lid.

The bronze furnace body made a soft "click" sound, fitting perfectly.

Then, he flicked his finger on the talisman pouch at his waist.

An orange-red fire-controlling talisman leaped into his palm.

The flame patterns drawn on the talisman glowed faintly under the influence of spiritual power.

"go."

He gave a low shout and crushed the talisman.

The talisman instantly transformed into a leaping flame, landing precisely at the ignition port beneath the alchemy furnace.

"bass!"

In the blink of an eye, flames half a foot high ignited, making the stove body slightly hot.

Ye Hui noticed something different as soon as he started refining the pills.

A warm, smooth sensation emanated from the walls of the advanced alchemy furnace.

The spiritual energy he channeled immediately found the smoothest path, flowing along the patterns on the furnace body without the slightest obstruction.

In the past, when he used the ordinary alchemy furnace he made, his spiritual energy would always be scattered and broken against the furnace wall.

It requires a lot of effort and repeated guidance.

At this moment, it is like water flowing through a smooth riverbed.

From fingertips to the flames inside the furnace.

It can be accurately conveyed with just a single thought.

He only needs to devote a small portion of his attention to make the flames in the furnace change according to his will.

If you try to raise the temperature even slightly, the flame will suddenly leap up half an inch, its core turning a blinding white.

Trying to lower the temperature by even a fraction, the flames immediately narrowed, turning back into a soft orange-red, licking the furnace wall in circles.

Moreover, Ye Hui discovered that when his spiritual energy circulated in his meridians, it was consumed by nearly half less than before.

It runs effortlessly!

This feeling... is absolutely amazing!
Ye Hui was overjoyed, and out of the corner of his eye, he noticed that the patterns on the relief of the furnace body were faintly visible in the firelight.

It looks really high-end!
As expected of a high-level alchemy furnace!

He even started to fantasize.

If one day I could possess my own natal spirit fire.

Then there's no need to rely on the power of the fire-controlling talisman; spiritual power and flames can truly merge into one.

At that time, alchemy will be incredibly smooth!

Perhaps at that time, even the temperature changes in the alchemy furnace would be as clear as sensing one's own breathing.

Refining an elixir is as simple as having a bloated stomach and then, with a little effort, letting out a fart!
Half an hour later.

A faint medicinal fragrance wafted from the cracks in the alchemy furnace.

At first, it was just a faint, fresh scent of grass and trees.

As time goes by, the aroma becomes more and more intense.

Its crispness is complemented by the rich flavor of Scrophularia, like fine mead slowly fermenting in the air.

Ye Hui held his breath and transformed a wisp of wood spiritual energy into a thin thread, probing it through the gap in the furnace lid to carefully guide the medicinal liquid inside.

The medicinal liquid gradually condensed under the steam of the flames.

The originally scattered medicinal vapors began to swirl, forming a rotating vortex.

A bluish halo slowly lit up at the center of the cyclone.

That was a sign that the elixir was about to take shape.

He dared not be careless in the slightest, his spiritual power at his fingertips fluctuating to keep the speed at which the medicinal liquid condensed stable.

When the aroma of the medicine became so strong that it almost solidified, and even the air inside the furnace became viscous.

Ye Hui knew that the time had come!
He placed his hands on the furnace lid and abruptly withdrew his spiritual energy.

The flames under the furnace went out instantly, leaving only the residual heat of the furnace body.

"open!"

He gave a low shout, and the stove lid popped open.

An even richer medicinal fragrance wafted out, carrying the vitality of plants and the warmth of spiritual energy, making one's nose itch.

At the center of the Bagua pattern on the bottom of the furnace, five round and plump blue pills lay quietly.

Each one is about the size of a thumb, with a soft sheen on its surface, as if it were enveloped in a thin layer of bluish mist.

Upon closer inspection, tiny specks of light could be seen slowly moving inside the pill.

That's proof that the essence of the elixir and spiritual power have successfully fused together!
Ye Hui stretched out his hand, palm facing up, and used his spiritual power to lift up a pill.

It feels slightly cool to the touch, with a warm and smooth texture.

The aroma of the medicine seeped into the skin through the palm of my hand.

Even the spiritual energy in his meridians began to pulsate joyfully.

He looked down at the pill in his palm, and couldn't help but smile.

This batch is done!

"And it produced five at once!"

Ye Hui picked up the pills and examined them carefully. He noticed that two of them had an exceptionally bright luster, with a subtle halo of light flowing around them.

This indicates that their quality is higher than that of several other ordinary high-grade pills.

It just hasn't reached the standard of a top-grade elixir yet.

Ye Hui raised his eyebrows.

Okay, okay~ He's no longer that little prince who explodes in ovens!
From today onwards, please call him Master Ye Dan!
He pressed his advantage and continued to try.

With his current level as a low-level alchemist, the success rate of refining high-level pills is not high.

However, with the help of an advanced alchemy furnace, the success rate reached an astonishing one in six!

What's even more remarkable is that even if it fails, it won't cause the oven to explode.

At most, it would result in a batch of unusable pills, greatly reducing the losses.

Ye Hui was in a great mood.

He took out all the spiritual herbs he hadn't dared to deal with before and threw them all into the alchemy business.

When the spiritual energy is depleted, sit down and cultivate to recover.

Once his spiritual energy was full, he immediately devoted himself to alchemy.

This was another night of frantic alchemy.

He only stopped when the sky began to lighten.

Another day of campus life.

During a physical education class at Yuzhi Elementary School.

"Students, assemble!"

Mr. Terada blew his whistle, the sound clear and bright.

The students quickly gathered, stood in neat rows, and waited for the teacher's instructions.

Mr. Terada stood at the front of the line and announced loudly, "As you all know, our school's annual marathon is the day after tomorrow!"

"So today in PE class, we'll have a long-distance running practice to get used to it in advance!"

He just finished speaking.

Two completely different voices immediately rang out in the classroom.

A group of people groaned and moaned, their heads hanging low, their faces full of reluctance, clearly dreading the long-distance run.

The other group, however, were eager to try, their eyes shining, looking very much looking forward to the competition.

Ye Hui stood in the line, his expression calm and his heart undisturbed.

It's just a long-distance run; it's nothing to him.

Especially for primary school students' long-distance running, which is called a marathon, it is actually less than ten kilometers.

If you want to, taking first place is a piece of cake.

"Alright, now practice a lot. We'll proceed according to our previous groups. First group, please get ready at the starting line!"

Mr. Terada waved his hand and pointed to the starting line not far away.

Sakura happened to be assigned to the first group.

She took a deep breath and walked to the starting line.

Zhi Shi and Ye Hui were in the second group, standing still and watching the students in the first group prepare.

Sakura stood on the track, bent her knees and stretched her legs, doing a few warm-up exercises to loosen up her muscles and bones.

The whistle blew.

She immediately rushed out, her steps light and brisk, maintaining a steady pace, and firmly occupying the leading position in the group.

Ye Hui and Zhi Shi stood by the track, becoming Sakura's exclusive cheering squad.

"Sakura's athletic ability is really good,"

Naoko leaned closer and said, her tone full of admiration, "Sakura will definitely be the marathon champion again this year."

Tomoyo smiled and pursed her lips, her tone filled with undisguised pride: "Yes, Sakura is amazing! But as for the champion, I don't know, it might not necessarily be Sakura."

at this time.

A defiant voice came from behind them: "Hmph, at least they know their place."

Ye Hui turned around and saw Li Meiling walking over with her hands on her hips and an arrogant expression.

"This year's champion and runner-up will definitely be me and Little Wolf!"

With her chin held high, she confidently announced, "Back in Hong Kong, in our school's long-distance running competitions, first and second place were never taken by anyone else!"

Ye Hui smacked his lips.

Strawberry bells, oh strawberry bells.

Have you remembered that you and Little Wolf have already transferred schools? This isn't Hong Kong anymore...

On the runway.

With the race halfway through, only two figures remained at the front.

It was Sakura and Li Xiaolang.

Li Xiaolang's expression was quite serious, his eyes were fixed on the front, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He underwent rigorous physical training from a young age.

Long-distance running was just an everyday activity for him.

At this moment, however, he was being held tightly by a girl, making him dare not relax for a moment.

Sakura ran around with ease, a bright smile on her face, and waved to them every now and then.

His breathing was much more steady than Li Xiaolang's, and he was completely unaware of the tense competition between those around him.

Ye Hui watched from the sidelines, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Sakura, well done!

We're going to keep Li Xiaolang completely under our control!

As expected of the leader of the Sakura Thieves!

In fact, Sakura was naturally gifted in sports.

In addition, there was the discipline he usually gave her.

Their strength has already reached a new level.

The final straight sprint.

Li Xiaolang gritted his teeth, pushed his speed to the limit, and darted forward like an arrow.

Sakura quickened her pace, keeping pace with him.

Even just before crossing the finish line, he was still half a body length ahead of him.

After crossing the finish line.

Li Xiaolang, supporting himself on his knees, was panting heavily, sweat streaming down his face and soaking his collar.

Sakura was only breathing lightly and quickly regained her strength.

"Li, you run so fast!" Sakura praised Xiaolang after catching her breath.

"Humph……"
