Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Wei Ying's eyes sparkled with surprise, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen the dawn of hope at this moment. His voice was filled with excitement and excitement, as if all his efforts had been rewarded at this moment, and his heart was filled with indescribable joy.

However, the elixir's completion wasn't the final step, Wei Ying knew this well. He needed to continue channeling spiritual energy into the furnace, allowing the elixir to reach its perfect solidification stage. So, he gritted his teeth, enduring the exhaustion, and persevered until the last bit of spiritual energy was exhausted, and he finally let go, exhausted. Despite this, his face still shone with satisfaction and joy, as if all the effort had been worth it.

Then, in his excitement, Wei Ying couldn't wait to open the stove lid. Instantly, a refreshing herbal aroma filled his nostrils, carrying a mysterious power that made him feel relaxed and refreshed. Wei Ying took a deep breath, feeling the comfort brought by the aroma, and his lost spiritual power seemed to be restored in that instant.

Deep within the ashes of the furnace, a round, milky-white pill lay quietly, as if silently recounting the difficult and mysterious process of its birth. Wei Ying excitedly stretched out his hand and carefully counted: "One, two, three, four... nine..."

His voice trembled slightly, and his heartbeat quickened with each pill he counted. When he reached the ninth, his face lit up with incredible joy. This had completely exceeded his expectations and imagination. Not only had he managed to successfully refine the pills in one go, but even more astonishingly, the sheer number far exceeded his expectations.

However, at this moment, a wet, soft towel was handed to him... Wei Ying raised his head, looked towards the rising sun with joy, and said excitedly, "Uncle, did you see that? I really did it."

Chaoyang smiled and took the towel, gently wiping the sweat from Wei Ying's forehead, his eyes full of love and pride. "Uncle saw it, A Ying is very powerful."

Wei Ying's face flushed bright red at his uncle's praise, and he called out, "Uncle."

Wei Ying carefully held up the nine milky-white pills in his hands, each movement a testament to his extreme caution, as if he feared accidentally destroying these precious elixirs. He then planned to place each pill into a jade bottle he had prepared in advance, ensuring their safety and stability.

However, just as he was about to complete the action, Chao Yang suddenly spoke up, interrupting him. "Wait." Chao Yang's voice was tinged with seriousness, stopping Wei Ying from completing his move. Wei Ying paused and turned to look at his uncle, puzzled. "Uncle, what's wrong?" he asked, filled with confusion and curiosity, wondering why his uncle had stopped him at this critical moment.

Chaoyang remained silent, not immediately responding to Wei Ying's words. He simply gently took the pill from Wei Ying's hand and began to examine it carefully. His eyes wandered over the fine lines on the pill's surface, as if deciphering some mysterious symbol.

As time went by, Chaoyang's brow furrowed slightly, and a glint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He seemed to be confirming something, and his fingers gently stroked the surface of the pill, as if feeling the power contained within.

Finally, Chaoyang raised his head with a hint of disbelief in his eyes, and he whispered: "This... this is actually a top-grade elixir?" His voice was full of surprise and confusion, as if he was questioning his own judgment.

Chaoyang knew that a top-grade elixir was the dream of alchemists, each one imbued with immense power and pure energy. The nine fine lines on the elixir before him were the hallmark of a top-grade elixir, heralding its extraordinary status.

"Uncle, what is a top-grade elixir?" Wei Ying looked at his uncle's shocked expression. Was there something wrong with his elixir refining? So he asked curiously, his eyes gleaming with curiosity.

Chaoyang picked up Aying and kissed Wei Ying's little face hard, "Aying, you are amazing! You actually refined the elixir in one go, and it's a top-grade elixir." Chaoyang's face showed an unconcealable joy.

He then further explained, "Medicines are divided into different grades, including top-grade, mid-grade, low-grade, and ultimate-grade. Each grade of medicine differs in efficacy, purity, and difficulty in refining. Top-grade medicines usually have extremely high efficacy and purity, and the refining process is extremely complex, making them very valuable. Mid-grade medicines are well-balanced in all aspects and suitable for most practitioners. Low-grade medicines are relatively ordinary, with lower efficacy and purity, and are also easier to refine. Ultimate-grade medicines are legendary, said to have reached the ultimate in efficacy and purity, but the success rate of refining them is extremely low, and they are almost impossible to find."

"So tell me how powerful you are, Aying!!!!" Chaoyang said excitedly.

Even in his hundreds of years of alchemy career, he had only been able to refine top-grade elixirs a handful of times, a mere five. It's easy to imagine how difficult it is to refine a top-grade elixir.

Wei Ying was filled with pride and excitement when he heard his uncle's explanation. He had never thought that he could refine a top-grade elixir in one go. It was simply a miracle.

Wei Ying's face was filled with irrepressible joy. He hugged Chaoyang tightly and said excitedly, "Thank you, uncle. If you hadn't taught me, I wouldn't be able to refine it!"

Chaoyang patted Wei Ying's back with a smile, his eyes filled with deep satisfaction and pride. "Uncle can only teach you the techniques of alchemy, but the one who can truly understand and practice them is you."

Of course, Wei Ying was well aware that this low failure rate was due to the epic alchemy knowledge his uncle had imparted upon him. His current understanding of medicinal herbs and mastery of alchemy were unmatched. The only thing he lacked was practical experience, personal understanding, and the ability to apply what he had learned.

Therefore, as long as you maintain a cautious and meticulous attitude, the probability of failure is usually very low. As you accumulate experience and become proficient, the quality and speed of refining pills will be significantly improved.

Chaoyang gently hugged Wei Ying and said softly, "Rest for a while! Don't let yourself get too tired."

However, Wei Ying gently shook his head and said firmly, "No, now is the perfect time to strike while the iron is hot. I've just started to feel something, and I absolutely cannot let my guard down." He then pulled out a Soul-Restoring Pill he had just personally refined and swallowed it without hesitation. Moments later, Wei Ying felt his spiritual energy instantly replenished, as if a dried-up river had been refilled with fresh water. Even Chao Yang noticed this and couldn't help but exclaim, "This is truly a top-grade Soul-Restoring Pill. The effects are truly immediate."

"Uncle, let's talk after I finish refining this batch of pills." Wei Ying looked at his uncle's worried eyes and said softly.

Chaoyang could only nod helplessly and stop bothering him. Although deep down he didn't want to see Wei Ying suffer so much, he also knew that with Wei Ying's stubborn personality, once he made a decision, he would never change it easily.

Therefore, all he had to do was stay by his side and ensure his safety.

Then the morning sun disappeared, and he stood quietly by, watching Wei Ying continue his alchemy process.
