The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Alchemy is not something that can be done in a short time. Even for a simple Qi Refining level pill like this, Lu Yao needs a whole day.

Just as Xin Ruyin was quietly waiting outside the formation to protect Lu Yao, Xiao Mei walked over with light steps.

"Miss, why did you activate the formation?"

Xiao Mei came to Xin Ruyin's side, a hint of doubt in her eyes.

Ruyin Pavilion is located in Tianxing Market, and generally no one dares to make a move in the market, so Xin Ruyin has only activated the formation a handful of times.

"Huh? Is Brother Lu refining pills?"

Xiao Mei suddenly paused, staring curiously at Lu Yao, who was refining pills within the formation.

"Yes, Brother Lu is refining pills to suppress the backlash of my Dragon Roar Body."

Xiao Mei is Xin Ruyin's personal maid. She has been by Xin Ruyin's side since childhood. On the surface, they are mistress and servant, but in reality, they are sisters. Therefore, she is also aware of Xin Ruyin's physical problems.

"Huh? Doesn't that pill require a thousand-year-old spiritual herb? We haven't collected enough spirit stones to buy it, could it be..."

Xiaomei tilted her head, her small eyes filled with great confusion, but she quickly realized what was going on.

"Brother Lu has a thousand-year-old elixir!"

Xiaomei suddenly widened her eyes and said with a look of surprise.

"Wait, why would Brother Lu give you this thousand-year-old spiritual herb, and even help you refine pills..."

The thousand-year-old medicinal herbs are extremely valuable; depending on the variety, even the cheapest ones cost nearly two thousand. How could we possibly give them away so easily?

Xin Ruyin didn't speak, but a slight blush appeared on her pretty face.

"Wow! Miss, you're hiding something from me!"

Xiao Mei immediately understood the gist of it when she saw Xin Ruyin's expression.

"Xiaomei~ Let's go. Brother Lu is still refining pills. It wouldn't be good if we disturbed him."

Xin Ruyin took Xiaomei's hand and led her into the attic.

……

A day passed quickly, and the three thousand-year-old spiritual herbs were transformed into three bottles of pills.

Xin Ruyin and Xiao Mei also appeared in the bamboo grove courtyard.

"Ruyin, I have done my mission well."

Lu Yao handed the three bottles of pills to Xin Ruyin and said softly.

"Brother Lu, you've worked hard. Ruyin has prepared wine and food. Brother Lu, please take a rest."

Xin Ruyin felt a warmth in her heart and stepped forward to hug Lu Yao's arm.

Seeing this, Du Xiaomei couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. It was the first time she had ever seen her young mistress show such a girlish side.

……

In the middle of the night, after spending a short time with Xin Ruyin, Lu Yao returned to his attic.

"First, improve your formation level!"

Lu Yao calmed his mind. He had already mastered the basics of array formations and could now begin to use the Haotian Pearl to improve.

Xin Ruyin's collection contains many classic texts on formations, all of which are top-tier Daoist texts on formations, enough for Lu Yao to raise his formation mastery to the Foundation Establishment level.

"Haotian Pearl! Upgrade!"

Lu Yao gave a soft shout in his heart, and a milky white light enveloped him.

The origin of the world: →

The light faded, revealing Lu Yao, who was calmly closing his eyes.

Lu Yao felt countless array patterns appear in his mind, and many array knowledge that he did not understand before became clear at this moment, and he even gained new insights.

Previously, he had only memorized the formations by rote, but now Lu Yao felt as if he had unconsciously practiced them hundreds or thousands of times, making them incredibly familiar.

"Sigh! It seems we'll still have to rely on Ruyin for the ancient teleportation array."

Lu Yao originally thought that after using the Haotian Pearl to improve his array formation realm, he might be able to repair the ancient teleportation array himself.

In retrospect, he was being somewhat presumptuous.

Ancient teleportation arrays are rare treasures in the eyes of the seven major sects; how could anyone with that kind of capacity repair them?

Lu Yao estimated that Xin Ruyin was able to repair the ancient teleportation array because of the ancient array manuals.

The Xuanmu Huaying Great Technique and the ancient array manual in Xin Ruyin's possession are extremely valuable items in the mortal world.

The Xuanmu Nascent Soul Transformation Technique is a secret method of the Yuling Sect, which can cultivate a second nascent soul, enabling communication over distances of tens of thousands of miles, and allowing for independent cultivation and movement.

However, this method also has great dangers, mainly because the second nascent soul rebels, directly overthrowing the Heavenly Gang and taking control of the main body.

But for Lu Yao, such danger was a joke.

No matter how fast an avatar cultivates, can it compare to his improvement using the Haotian Pearl? Even if he wants to control Lu Yao, he still has to get past the Haotian Pearl.

……

The next morning, Lu Yao took Xin Ruyin's small hand and led her to the attic.

"Ruyin, I have a broken array here. Can you take a look and see if you can repair it?"

Lu Yao handed the ancient teleportation array jade slip, which he had copied, to Xin Ruyin from the Origin Space.

"A remnant of the army?"

Xin Ruyin was slightly taken aback, took the jade slip, placed it on her forehead, and began to read it.

After a while.

"It's actually an ancient teleportation array!"

Xin Ruyin put down the jade slip, a look of shock flashing in her eyes.

This was the first time Xin Ruyin had ever seen a real ancient teleportation array, even though it was incomplete.

"Where did Brother Lu obtain this jade slip?"

Xin Ruyin's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she couldn't help but ask Lu Yao.

"I copied this array jade slip, and I also obtained a token at the same time."

Lu Yao also took out the Great Shift Order.

Xin Ruyin held the Great Teleportation Token in her hand and examined it carefully.

"This token is a teleportation token, and it's designed to be used with that teleportation array."

Xin Ruyin quickly determined the purpose of the token.

"But when I found that the teleportation array, I discovered that it had been damaged, so I took it out to show you, Ruyin."

Lu Yao shrugged and said with a helpless expression.

“Brother Lu, Ruyin can repair this great formation. Only one corner of the formation is damaged, so it’s not difficult to repair, but it will take a long time. It will take at least half a year to repair it.”

After a moment's thought, Xin Ruyin realized that repairing the ancient teleportation array would not be difficult, given her knowledge of ancient array texts.

"Then I'll leave it to Ruyin; this teleportation array is very important to me."

Lu Yao held Xin Ruyin's small hand in his own and said with a solemn expression.

"Yes, Ruyin understands, Brother Lu, don't worry."

Xin Ruyin nodded and gently rested her head on Lu Yao's chest.

……

Before we knew it, two months were about to end.

Lu Yao and Xin Ruyin were inseparable every day, and their feelings for each other grew stronger.

"Ruyin, I will return to the sect tomorrow to find a way to resolve the Dragon Roar Physique. Remember to take your pills on time and never harm your body in an attempt to save money."

Lu Yao held Xin Ruyin in his arms and whispered his instructions.

"Yes, Ruyin will wait here for her husband to return."

Xin Ruyin felt extremely reluctant to part with him. Their relationship had rapidly warmed up during this time, and she had come to regard Lu Yao as her only support, unconsciously changing how she addressed him.

"Like a sound~"

Lu Yao gently lifted Xin Ruyin's chin, looked tenderly into her eyes filled with affection, and gently kissed her.
