Chapter 1210: An Unexpected Surprise!

"Even three years would be fine!" Long Teng said with eager anticipation.

Fang Tian was also full of hope. With the demon calamity erupting and the Heavenly Demon God Kano stronger than ever, he was unwilling to die just like that.

Moreover, after fifty thousand years apart, he and Long Teng had finally reunited, and he did not want to be separated by death.

Ye Yuan nodded and said, "I have a pill formula called the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Pill. For an ordinary martial artist, taking it would extend their lifespan by two thousand years without issue. But given Senior Fang Tian's current condition, the effect would be minimal. The spiritual herbs required for this formula are also extremely rare. I have most of the other herbs on hand, but one main ingredient—a million-year-old Netherworld Heavenly Fragrance—is hard to find for now."

Fang Tian laughed upon hearing this and said, "Over the years, I have stopped at nothing to prolong my life. As for spiritual herbs, I have gathered quite a few. As it happens, I do have a Netherworld Heavenly Fragrance."

Ye Yuan did not look surprised. The Netherworld Heavenly Fragrance was itself a life-extending medicine, and he had guessed that Fang Tian might have it, which was why he brought it up.

Otherwise, if he couldn't find the herb, mentioning it would only lead to disappointment.

Seeing Ye Yuan's expression, Fang Tian understood and thought to himself, This kid is remarkably sharp!

He had been keeping an eye on Ye Yuan, but his understanding of him had mostly been superficial.

Now that he had actually met Ye Yuan, he realized how extraordinary this young man truly was.

Ye Yuan put away the Netherworld Heavenly Fragrance and took his leave, saying, "You two catch up first. I'll be back shortly!"

Watching Ye Yuan's retreating figure, Fang Tian sighed, "Old friend, I have always thought highly of myself, but meeting Ye Yuan has shown me that there is always someone better."

Long Teng stroked his beard and laughed, "Haha, to be honest, I never believed that under the current Heavenly Dao, anyone could surpass you—until I met Ye Yuan! You don't know how arrogant he was when he stormed the Heavenly Tower, yet I couldn't do a thing about him. That kid is simply a freak, constantly shattering my perceptions of him. Even now, I dare not claim to fully understand him."

Fang Tian laughed heartily, "Hahaha... With Ye Yuan around, perhaps the Divine Realm still has hope! It's just a pity he was born at the wrong time! If not for the flawed Heavenly Dao, he might have reached the heights of Senior Jue Tian!"

...

Two days later, the pill tribulation descended.

When Ye Yuan emerged from the alchemy chamber, everyone was startled.

Ye Yuan looked as if he had suffered a severe illness, appearing extremely listless.

"Ye Yuan, you..." Long Teng said in surprise.

Ye Yuan himself did not mind and grinned, "The quality of the Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Pill turned out even better than I expected! Senior Fang Tian, please take it quickly!"

Fang Tian took the pill and said with emotion, "Ye Yuan, thank you!"

Given Ye Yuan's current cultivation level, to exhaust himself so much while refining pills showed how much effort he had invested.

He probably wouldn't have been so dedicated even if he were refining pills for himself.

Fang Tian knew that Ye Yuan was repaying him and also showing respect.

Of course, it might also be out of consideration for Long Teng.

But without a doubt, Ye Yuan was a man who valued righteousness above all!

Such a person was worthy of trust!

"Heh, you're too kind, Senior! You have endured unimaginable pain to prolong your life, all for the sake of the Divine Realm. You have accomplished great deeds in obscurity without seeking fame or fortune, and I deeply respect that! It's just a pity that I cannot turn the tide." Ye Yuan said regretfully.

Perhaps after reaching a certain level in the Dao of Alchemy, one could truly defy heaven, but Ye Yuan clearly did not possess such power now.

A day later, Fang Tian had fully refined the pill's medicinal power.

When he emerged from seclusion, Long Teng and Ye Yuan looked at him expectantly.

Fang Tian's complexion was now much better than a few days ago.

His face, which had been nearly zombie-like, now showed a hint of color!

"Brother Fang, how is it?" Long Teng asked somewhat nervously.

Only Fang Tian himself could know the exact effects of the pill after taking it.

Fang Tian smiled mysteriously and held up three fingers.

Seeing this, Ye Yuan's face fell with disappointment, and he said bitterly, "In the end, only three years?"

Long Teng was also momentarily dejected, but soon he was relieved and patted Ye Yuan, saying, "Ye Yuan, you've done your best! Given Brother Fang's condition, extending his life by three years is already a miracle."

Ye Yuan sighed, "Alas, I thought that at the Tongxuan stage... it would be somewhat better!"

But Fang Tian laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "Who told you it was three years? Thirty years! Hahaha... Ye Yuan, your alchemy skills are simply heaven-defying! You managed to revive this broken body of mine—truly an eye-opener!"

Hearing this, Ye Yuan himself was stunned.

Long Teng was first taken aback, then overjoyed, "Brother Fang, really? Don't joke with me!"

Fang Tian laughed, "Why would I lie to you? Ye Yuan only mentioned three years earlier, so I didn't hold out much hope—I thought one or two years would be good. But the more I refined the pill's power, the more amazed I became! This Heavenly Fragrance Life-Extending Pill is truly a masterpiece of creation. Not only did it heal most of my hidden injuries, but it also added thirty years to my lifespan! After all these years of suffering, the pain has vanished! At my age, I almost jumped for joy just now!"

"Hahaha... That's wonderful! Ye Yuan, you were too conservative, trying to give us a huge surprise?" Long Teng said with delight.

Ye Yuan himself was also surprised, but seeing Fang Tian and Long Teng so happy, he felt joyful as well.

"Heh, to be honest, I'm also quite surprised. The power of the 'Medicine Soul Divine Canon' exceeds my expectations! However, Senior Fang Tian, you still cannot use your primal energy, or even the gods would find it hard to save you!" Ye Yuan remarked.

The more he studied the 'Medicine Soul Divine Canon', the more Ye Yuan realized the profound depth of this divine scripture.

It seemed his path in the Dao of Alchemy had only just begun!

Fang Tian smiled, "Don't worry, I know that well. I dealt Kano a heavy blow earlier, so I believe he won't act rashly. At least until he fully recovers his strength, we should be safe!"

Ye Yuan asked in surprise, "He's already at such a level, and he still hasn't fully recovered?"

Fang Tian sighed, "The strength of a Heavenly Demon God corresponds to the Guixu Divine Realm! How could beings like that be imagined by mortals like us? In my opinion, he has only recovered about seventy percent of his power at most! There's still some distance to full recovery!"
