Chapter 113: Millennial Pill Formation

After the grand wedding, Princess Zhaoyang happily held onto Bai Fan's arm on the deck of the warship.

As a gentle breeze blew by, her skirt fluttered lightly.

"Bai Fan, we must create a place for those girls that belongs to them."

Princess Zhaoyang said sweetly, her gaze looking toward that group of young girls.

Since being rescued, they had spent some time here, and although they felt gratitude in their hearts, they ultimately lacked a place to settle down and make a living.

Bai Fan smiled slightly and nodded: "I promised them, and today is the time to fulfill that commitment."

He raised his arms and shouted, his voice resounding throughout the world: "Establish a Sect for these girls! Named 'Xuanyin Qin Sect'!"

"Xuanyin Qin Sect!" The citizens of Liangjing responded in unison, with high enthusiasm.

In Liangjing, everyone responded positively, contributing their strength to this magnificent vision.

Following Bai Fan's call, the warship's cabin doors opened with a boom, and countless Mohist mechanical beasts rushed out, quickly running toward the quiet valley.

At the same time, enthusiastic people also gathered, excitedly carrying tools and supplies, preparing to build a new home in this valley.

This valley was named "Sound Valley," surrounded by mountains, with winding peaks and lingering clouds, resembling a fairyland.

The air in Sound Valley was fresh, and from time to time, the chirping of birds could be heard, accompanied by faint zither music, seemingly foreshadowing the coming prosperity.

In the center of Sound Valley, the main hall was gradually revealing its magnificent figure.

The grand architecture was embedded within the verdant mountains, appearing exceptionally harmonious.

Liangjing.

On the bustling street.

Bai Fan walked leisurely, Princess Zhaoyang holding his arm, with the three child attendants, Princess Mingxi, Princess Qiyue, and Princess Yaohua, following closely behind, inseparable.

This was the street where he had taken the grand examination when he first entered the city; at that time, he was young and simple, harboring aspirations for the future.

He remembered that for the sake of a few girls, he had resolved not to take on any clients for half a month, saving up enough silver to redeem their freedom.

Walking to the front of the Brothel, Bai Fan's gaze could not help but linger.

The madam at the entrance of the Brothel was startled when she saw him approaching, exclaiming: "Human Emperor Bai Fan, it really is that scholar from that day!"

She felt a wave of panic in her heart; that day, she had used the tactics of a black-hearted shop to force him to pay ten taels of silver before allowing him to leave.

Bai Fan had no silver and even resorted to force, but later it was the Ninth Prince who relieved Bai Fan.

Thinking of this matter now, she could not help but feel deeply ashamed.

"This lowly one greets the Human Emperor." The madam bowed slightly, fearing that Bai Fan might be displeased.

Bai Fan's expression was calm, his words as flat as water: "There is no need to be so afraid; I have come only to fulfill the promise from years ago."

"I want to redeem all the women who do not wish to remain in the Brothel."

The madam led Bai Fan into the Brothel. The girls inside heard his voice and walked out one after another, their eyes filled with anticipation and surprise.

"You can leave this place now." Bai Fan said gently: "Go to the Xuanyin Qin Sect; that will be your new home, and you are welcome there."

Smiles gradually appeared on the girls' faces as they held each other's hands, a longing for the future rising in their hearts.

They walked out of the Brothel, stepping onto a new journey in life.

After doing all this, Bai Fan had one more important matter unfinished, which was refining the Divine Pill.

The Soul Transformation Stage Pill is a Divine Rank Medicinal Pill capable of directly raising a Yao Beast's cultivation to the Soul Transformation Stage without any side effects.

The special feature of this Medicinal Pill is that it can only be consumed by a Yao Beast, and it must use the Emperor's blood as a catalyst.

Bai Fan pondered silently in his heart; he needed to choose someone who could always protect the Human Race.

And for this person, he already had an answer in his heart, which was Bai Youyou.

He walked slowly toward the Pill Refining Room of the Xuanyin Qin Sect.

In his left hand, he held the Red Flame Nascent Soul.

In his right hand, he held the Gloomy Nascent Soul.

These were obtained the day he defeated Ghost Monarch Xuanyin and Demon Marquis Tianyan.

Bai Fan sent the two Nascent Souls into the Pill Furnace and began the long and arduous process of Alchemy.

Refining a Divine Rank Medicinal Pill is incredibly difficult, and the process is full of challenges.

Bai Fan began day after day, year after year of Alchemy.

The Human Emperor Seal provided him with a continuous stream of Spiritual Qi, merging with the energy of the Nascent Souls, turning into an invisible tide that pushed the formation of the Medicinal Pill.

Time passed imperceptibly: ten years, twenty years, thirty years, a hundred years.

Bai Fan's originally handsome appearance gradually gained some white hair.

He occasionally took out Bai Youyou's wooden statue, stroking it gently while murmuring to himself.

"I'm sorry, Youyou… I cannot go back to find you yet."

One day, Princess Zhaoyang quietly walked into the Pill Refining Room and gently placed down a tray of steaming food.

She took away the bowl of food that had not been eaten last time, her gaze fixed on Bai Fan, who was still sitting cross-legged.

Seeing that Bai Fan was shrouded in Spiritual Qi, completely isolated from the world.

Princess Zhaoyang sighed slightly and walked out of the Pill Refining Room.

Two hundred years, three hundred years, five hundred years…

Princess Zhaoyang remained as she had always been, quietly walking into the Pill Refining Room every day to place down the steaming food, and silently taking away the untouched bowl and chopsticks from last time.

Her once charming face had become increasingly mature; her skin had lost its luster, and her eyes held a bit more of the vicissitudes of life.

She called out softly: "Brother Fan, let's go out for a walk!"

However, in the Pill Refining Room, Bai Fan remained sitting cross-legged, his body shrouded in a faint layer of spiritual light, isolating him from everything outside.

Princess Zhaoyang could not help but tear up; two crystal-clear teardrops fell, and she slowly retreated from the Pill Refining Room.

Six hundred years, seven hundred years, nine hundred years…

Time flew like a white horse passing a gap; Bai Fan's handsome appearance had long since vanished, replaced by an old man with white hair, his face covered in the marks of time.

He still sat cross-legged, his entire body shrouded in Spiritual Qi.

At the same time, Princess Zhaoyang had also become an old lady with white hair.

She still walked lightly into the Pill Refining Room every day, placed down the steaming food, and silently took away the untouched bowl and chopsticks.

If not for the Ascension Pill that Bai Fan had refined for her back then, she would never have been able to possess this millennium of lifespan.

However, even so, her lifespan was coming to an end.

Every day, Princess Zhaoyang looked at Bai Fan's aged face, her heart filled with both emotion and heartache.

"Brother Fan, what on earth made you bet your whole life?"

Finally, on a quiet morning, a burst of dazzling light erupted from within the Pill Refining Room, and the fragrance of medicine overflowed.

A streak of golden light shot straight into the sky, illuminating hundreds of miles around.

A thousand years had passed; the Soul Transformation Stage Pill was finally refined.

Bai Fan slowly opened his eyes, feeling a moment of daze; the blinding light made it difficult for him to adapt for a moment.

"Brother Fan…"

A gentle voice came to his ears, as if from a distant place.

As his vision gradually recovered, he saw Princess Zhaoyang standing to the side, gently covering her face with a white veil.

"Brother Fan, you are finally awake!"

A wave of warmth surged in Bai Fan's heart, and he exerted force to prop up his body.

"What happened to you? Your aura… why is it so weak?"

Princess Zhaoyang smiled slightly, tears glistening in her eyes, her tone as gentle as before:

"My time is running out; a thousand years have passed since you entered this Pill Refining Room."

Bai Fan's heart tightened, and a strong sense of worry flooded his mind. In his panic, he took out the golden-glowing Soul Transformation Stage Pill from the Pill Furnace.

"I cannot let you leave just like this. This Medicinal Pill was refined for Bai Youyou, but now, I want you to take it."

Just as the Medicinal Pill was about to be put into Princess Zhaoyang's mouth, she suddenly pressed down on Bai Fan's hand.

"I am sorry, Brother Fan, I am no longer young and cannot bear any more years."

As she spoke, Princess Zhaoyang turned into light rain and dissipated in Bai Fan's embrace.

"Go find her." Those faint words from Zhaoyang lingered in the air.

Bai Fan carefully put away the Soul Transformation Stage Pill.

"Zhaoyang, wait for me, I will come to accompany you very soon!"
