Chapter 587: Chapter 583: Arrival at the Celestial Pill Divine Domain

Xia Feng’s expression turned serious as he nodded earnestly, saying, "Don’t worry, as long as I’m alive, I will never let anyone harm them."

Li Ya snorted softly, choosing not to say much more on the matter, but her expression carried a hint of worry as she glanced at Li Qingxue.

After a long silence, she unwillingly spoke, "I know you all have a way to cross into the Divine Realm. Be careful when you leave; don’t accidentally end up amidst the Death God and Demons."

Xia Feng’s face became even more serious, understanding the implication of Li Ya’s words—something must be horribly wrong in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain now.

Unable to sit still any longer, he apologized to Li Ya and quickly left the Divine King Hall with the two women to return to his room.

The Dream Realm Pearl flickered with a soft white light, and the three of them instantly disappeared from where they stood.

While in the Dream Realm Pearl, Xia Feng attempted to contact Sun Yazhu, who seemed occupied and only entered the Dream Realm Pearl after a while to lead Xia Feng and his group to her chambers.

The moment they arrived at Sun Yazhu’s Divine Maiden Hall, Xia Feng was enveloped by the rich scent of herbs, mingled with a slight burnt smell—clear signs she was in the middle of Elixir refinement when Xia Feng called her into the Dream Realm Pearl.

Though only a few breaths of time were lost in the outside world, the slightest discrepancy in Alchemy could lead to total ruin of the Elixir, let alone the entire disappearance of Sun Yazhu from the Pill Furnace for those few breaths.

Feeling somewhat guilty, Xia Feng was about to say something to Sun Yazhu when a man’s cough came, seemingly reminding them of something.

Xia Feng was startled—this was Sun Yazhu’s private room within the Divine Maiden Hall. How could a man’s voice be here?

Could it be that the Death God and Demons had already launched an attack here?

But it shouldn’t be; Xia Feng had smelled the scent of Elixirs in the room earlier, indicating Alchemy was in progress.

Thinking it through, Xia Feng couldn’t come to a conclusion and couldn’t help but glance curiously at the man standing behind the Pill Cauldron.

The man, appearing slightly older, shared the herbal scent of Sun Yazhu but lacked any Divine Power aura, resembling an ordinary person.

As Xia Feng examined him, the man was simultaneously studying Xia Feng. After a long, careful scrutiny, the man’s expression eased slightly with a bit of satisfaction.

But when his gaze turned to Qi Wan’Er and Li Qingxue standing behind Xia Feng, an involuntary frown creased his brow.

Just as Xia Feng was about to question, Sun Yazhu beside him tugged at his sleeve, signaling him with a glance.

Xia Feng hesitated; the words "Celestial Pill Divine King" stuck in his throat, unable to be spoken.

When the Ten Great Divine Kings sent people to escort the women from Great Xia, the envoy from the Celestial Pill Divine Domain was notably gentle.

Later, he had heard from Sun Yazhu that her father was wholly dedicated to Alchemy, oblivious to Cultivation.

But Xia Feng never imagined his father-in-law would be so obsessed with Alchemy that despite Death God and Demons beginning to invade the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, he was still in his daughter’s chamber brewing Elixirs.

He hesitated for a moment, when Sun Yang, the Celestial Pill Divine King opposite him, took the lead to speak: "Zhu Girl, I don’t care how this gentleman barged into your room."

"But I must warn you, no matter when, a partially formed Elixir reaching its critical refinement stage is of utmost importance."

"This visitor is not urgent a matter; why rush and stumble over to pick him up? Even in time manipulation, you can linger a few days, making him wait wouldn’t be a significant issue."

Seeing the burnt Elixir in the Pill Cauldron, his face showed a distressed expression: "The materials for this Golden Core are difficult to come by; it took a month to gather two portions, and now you’ve wasted one just like that, truly..."

Sun Yazhu appeared slightly embarrassed, unable to explain the reason to her father.

Although only half a day passed in the outside world during Alchemy, in the Dream Realm Pearl, five thousand years would have elapsed.

Worried her constant lack of response to her husband’s Dream Realm guide might cause a misunderstanding, she hurriedly left her half-completed Elixir to rush into the Dream Realm Pearl.

Initially, Sun Yazhu thought she was merely leading the way, believing that even if the Pill Furnace paused for a moment it wouldn’t matter, planning to resume the refinement upon her return.

Unexpectedly, the instant her Divine Power ceased, the Golden Core in the Pill Cauldron turned into a lump of charcoal, and Sun Yang was too focused on the lost materials to even inquire why Xia Feng emerged suddenly.

Xia Feng watched Sun Yang look regretfully at the Pill Cauldron, feeling entirely uncomfortable.

He cleared his throat, attempting to remedy the situation: "I was impetuous, unaware of the current state of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain, which is why I came directly to find Yazhu."

"Please, Celestial Pill Divine King, list the materials needed for this Elixir, and I’ll prepare several portions as compensation for you as soon as possible."

Only then did Sun Yang shift his gaze from the Pill Cauldron to Xia Feng: "Oh? It’s not that I’m underestimating you, it’s simply that the materials for this Elixir are rather rare. I searched throughout the Celestial Pill Divine Domain and it took a month to gather just a little."

"If I assign this task to you, it might be seen as me making things difficult."

Sun Yazhu’s heart skipped a beat, feeling slightly embarrassed, and she hurriedly changed the topic: "Finding those materials is no problem for my husband, besides, there’s still one portion left, right?"

"Don’t worry, Dad, I made a mistake today, but my success rate for this Golden Core wasn’t high, and being disrupted today, I actually had some inspiration."

"How about... Dad, you head back first, I’ll rest today, compose myself, and bring the Elixir to you after refining it tomorrow?"

Unaware of Xia Feng’s capabilities, yet Sun Yazhu certainly knew—the Dream Realm Pearl was rich with Divine Power, with Divine Veins thriving, and time flowed extraordinarily fast.

Forget one portion, give Xia Feng the blueprint and he could produce a hundred.

However, this wasn’t something easily explained to Sun Yang, so Sun Yazhu only shifted the topic to the Elixir.

Unexpectedly, Sun Yang didn’t catch her drift, glaring at her instead: "Without my assistance in refining the Golden Core, do you think you’d be successful?"

"I don’t care who you date or marry, but remember, you are the Divine Maiden of the Celestial Pill Divine Domain; you must focus on Alchemy and not let others distract you from it."

It was the first time Sun Yazhu had been scolded by him, and in front of her husband, too, which left her feeling rather embarrassed.

With her cheeks flushed, she retorted, "Dad!"
