Chapter 1288: No Regrets Even in Death

The Sword Spirit suddenly spoke up, but instead of explaining to those present, it swiftly moved to Xu Changqiu’s side.

Things like these can’t be solved with brute strength alone; it requires professionals to step in.

And naturally, Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu were such people.

In the blink of an eye, he was already by Xu Changqiu’s side and hurriedly said, “I think you can all see, Wang Zhan’s situation is dire, he can’t hold on much longer…”

“I believe the reason he is under so much pressure is because he’s bearing both the pressure inside the medicine cauldron and the external pressure.”

“After all, the Spiritual Power inside Sky Pavilion is becoming more and more abundant, but if it reaches saturation, this Spiritual Power will turn into a tangible force, which provides no benefit to us and, in fact, has significant downsides…”

“So, switching positions; if Wang Zhan could take the medicine cauldron into another space, wouldn’t it make things simpler?”

Xu Changqiu nodded in agreement.

Indeed, that’s true, but achieving this is easier said than done.

Not even inside Tian Pavilion is there anyone with the skill to tear space.

Wang Zhan, of course, couldn’t do this either.

The Sword Spirit nodded directly and showed a slight smile at the corner of its mouth, quickly heading towards Wang Zhan.

Obviously, it understood Xu Changqiu’s intentions. Since it had received a positive response, the next step was to act according to plan.

“Why did you come?”

Even under enormous pressure, Wang Zhan felt the presence of the Sword Spirit behind him.

“I’ve come to help you. If you keep acting recklessly, you might not make it out alive.”

The Sword Spirit rolled its eyes at Wang Zhan.

It was the first time it had seen someone like Wang Zhan.

He frequently risked his life for others, as if his own life wasn’t valuable.

Wang Zhan grinned carelessly and said, “It’s not as dramatic as you think. I can manage. Plus, I can sense Linglong is trying to find a way to help me. As soon as he refines the elixir, and uses it to sustain us, we’ll be able to solve the current problem.”

“We both will make it out safely.”

If Wang Zhan withdrew now, the situation would only worsen.

Zuo Linglong might lose his life because of it.

Ultimately, Sky Pavilion would also suffer some impact.

So weighing everything, Wang Zhan wouldn’t leave easily, not even at the cost of his own life; he would stand until the very end.

“You shouldn’t keep forcing yourself…”

“I’ve already come up with a solution for you.”

“As long as you bring Zuo Linglong and the medicine cauldron into the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, it will alleviate the current pressure.”

“The Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower is your domain, and even if the medicine cauldron continues to emit the elixir fragrance, it will only make the Spiritual Power of the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower even more abundant, so there’s nothing much to worry about…”

The Sword Spirit said a couple of sentences with a smile, clearly already having everything in control.

Wang Zhan’s eyes lit up; why hadn’t he thought of this method before?

“You’re truly my savior!”

No longer concealing, Wang Zhan indeed was under considerable pressure and almost at his limit.

If the Sword Spirit hadn’t spoken up, he wouldn’t have known what to do next.

In a blink, Wang Zhan swiftly operated the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower. As it spun rapidly above his head, beams of light enveloped Wang Zhan and Zuo Linglong.

Even the medicine cauldron quickly followed them and disappeared, entering the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower in an instant.

Those present rushed forward, and discussions immediately broke out.

“It’s truly great; once Wang Zhan enters the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower, there’s nothing to worry about.”

“That’s right, even if the medicine cauldron explodes, it will at most ruin one elixir.”

“As long as Wang Zhan’s life isn’t threatened, that’s all that matters…”

“…”

Everyone let out a collective sigh of relief.

The Fire Qilin slowly raised its head, gazing at the rich Spiritual Power above, and remarked with satisfaction, “It seems those inside Sky Pavilion are quite pleased.”

“Cultivating in such a rich environment will certainly yield better results with less effort.”

“And it can also bring unexpected effects.”

The Sword Spirit and others understood and nodded in agreement.

But quickly, the Sword Spirit spoke again, “While that’s true, this Spiritual Power won’t last long. If everyone cultivates together, these energies will soon deplete and everything will return to its original state…”

“But having it is better than not.”

The Fire Qilin added another sentence.

The others all nodded in agreement.

It was clear that with Wang Zhan safely out of danger, everyone’s mood improved significantly.

Meanwhile, Wang Zhan and Zuo Linglong had already entered the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower.

Although the area had changed, Zuo Linglong still hadn’t awakened and remained in the same state as before.

Wang Zhan quietly stayed by her side, and now all they could do was wait.

Ultimately, whether they could succeed or not depended on Zuo Linglong’s determination.

He knew in his heart that Zuo Linglong was under tremendous pressure, competing with that top-grade elixir.

Whoever stood firm till the end would be the final winner.

Time ticked away, Zuo Linglong slowly opened her eyes, and the cracks on the medicine cauldron increased.

Immediately, Wang Zhan rapidly formed seals with his hands, and the medicine cauldron suddenly flipped open, a glowing red elixir appearing in mid-air.

“Brother Wang, quickly help me hold it!”

Zuo Linglong hurriedly turned to glance at Wang Zhan behind her and quickly spoke.

Though Wang Zhan was somewhat puzzled, he did not hesitate in his steps and swiftly went forward, grasping the elixir in his hand.

To Wang Zhan’s surprise, the elixir seemed to have its own consciousness, attempting to slip out of his grasp!

Fortunately, Wang Zhan’s skills were formidable; no matter how the elixir struggled, it ultimately became Wang Zhan’s possession.

Wang Zhan returned to Zuo Linglong’s side, smiling as he spoke, “This thing is quite amusing, trying to escape? Looks like this top-grade elixir possesses spiritual wisdom, but do you think it knows we’ll consume it later?”

Zuo Linglong coughed twice beside him, clearly showing the strain on his body from refining the top-grade elixir.

Despite his exceptional talent in alchemy, crafting a top-grade elixir required a hefty price.

It also demanded a great deal of energy.

Luckily, he managed to succeed, otherwise all would have been in vain.

Zuo Linglong took a few elixirs from his pocket, quickly swallowing them, and his condition improved somewhat.

He then spoke with a smile, “This guy naturally possesses his own spiritual wisdom, and the moment it was formed, it began to struggle against me, trying to escape from my grasp…”

“Fortunately, you were by my side, preventing a disaster, otherwise the consequences would truly have been unimaginable…”

Zuo Linglong explained a few sentences.

Wang Zhan nodded and handed the elixir to Zuo Linglong beside him, then spoke again, “Anyway, everything turned out well in the end, since the elixir has been successfully refined, we don’t have to worry anymore…”

“Everyone should still be waiting outside for us, let’s not let them worry any longer and quickly go out to meet them.”

Zuo Linglong agreed, his gaze falling on the medicine cauldron.

He felt a pang of regret.

In the process of refining a top-grade elixir, he had already damaged several medicine cauldrons.

The one before him was the work of Xu Changqiu, now also damaged.

The cauldron bore numerous cracks; continued use might even cause it to explode with an ordinary elixir.

Truly a loss outweighing the gain.

Soon, he snapped out of it and left the Ninefold Thunder Sound Tower with Wang Zhan.

As the two appeared, all eyes turned to them.

Seeing them unharmed, Hexagonal Golden Snake and others were finally relieved.

After all, they had been worried about Wang Zhan and the situation seemed terrifying.

Fortunately, things weren’t as bad as they had imagined.

Wang Zhan eventually turned the tide.

Yet Xu Changqiu and Wu Yanxu were indifferent to this; they were both top alchemists but had never seen a top-grade elixir in their lifetime, even when attempting to create one in the Elixir Valley, it resulted in carrying water with a bamboo basket…

Now that Zuo Linglong was on the verge of crafting a top-grade elixir, they were eager to know the outcome.

Xu Changqiu quickly approached Zuo Linglong, eagerly asking, “Well? Did you complete the top-grade elixir?”

Wu Yanxu also widened his eyes, awaiting Zuo Linglong’s response.

For them, it was more important than their lives.

Zuo Linglong slowly took out a chestnut-red medicine pill from his pocket, smiling as he spoke, “Luck is better than fate.”

As the elixir appeared before them, even Heaven and Earth seemed to change!

Enough to show the terror of a top-grade elixir.

Xu Changqiu directly knelt on the ground, suppressing his shock as he declared, “I never thought, in my lifetime, I would truly see a top-grade elixir!”

“Even in death, I have no regrets!”
