Although Chu Feng was anxious, he dared not slacken his hands even a little.

Slow work yields fine products.

Alchemy emphasizes the slow simmering over a gentle fire, and the whole process cannot have any slip-ups. Even the slightest mistake can eliminate all previous efforts, leading to failure in alchemy.

As time slowly passed, the elixir inside the pill furnace showed no signs of forming.

Chu Feng couldn't help but feel disheartened.

It seems that fate is set on making Chang'e endure more suffering. He estimated that it must be late outside.

The Sun might have already begun to set.

Chu Feng instructed Han Xiaoying that if he hadn't emerged before sunset, she should feed Chang'e the ordinary Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Elixir.

Just as Chu Feng felt discouraged, waves of phoenix cries suddenly echoed above the pill furnace.

Chu Feng instinctively looked up to inspect.

Good heavens, he saw auspicious auras spiraling above the pill furnace, manifesting a colorful phoenix. It raised its neck and let out clear cries.

"Phoenix from the alchemy aura, layers of auspicious brilliance; this is a sign of an elixir at the Immortal Pill level."

However, the colorful phoenix did not last long; after several cries, it vanished.

This meant the elixir refined inside the furnace did not reach the Immortal Pill level.

In his previous life, when Chu Feng refined the Longevity Immortal Pill, phoenixes and dragons were vividly present, never dispersing. And the commotion was much greater than just now.

Like a millionaire traveling, with only a secretary and a luxury car worth millions.

While if an Immortal Pill were born, it would be a billionaire arriving with a luxury car worth tens of millions, guarded by bodyguards and secretaries. The scale and atmosphere between the two are vastly different.

"Open!"

Seeing the time had come, Chu Feng pointed at the lid of the furnace. It automatically opened, and three colorful strands shot out from within, all in the shape of phoenixes.

After circling twice, they revealed the original form of the elixirs.

On the surface, a mass of auspicious air continued to swirl, as if an Earth Immortal about to ascend, protected by immortal energy; their quality was extraordinary.

Compared to ordinary Ninth Grade elixirs, they were evidently a grade higher.

"Truly heaven has aided me! Not only did I refine Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pills, but I also succeeded with three at once."

Chu Feng felt exceptionally pleased, sealing two of them in wax before placing them in a Jade Box for storage.

One was merely placed inside a Jade Box. This one would soon be given to Chang'e, so sealing it with wax was unnecessary.

Chu Feng, itching to rush, grabbed the elixir and made his way to Fengluan Palace as quickly as possible.

The Golden Crow in the sky had already passed the horizon, leaving only half of it.

Hopefully, it's not too late.

...

Inside Fengluan Palace, Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang occasionally checked the sandglass's marks.

This world did not have clocks; instead, time was measured with sandglasses and burning incense.

Sandglasses were the most widely used, followed by water clocks.

Because water evaporates easily and slowly becomes inaccurate, as long as the sand doesn't clog the neck, the sandglass wouldn't err.

Coupled with burning incense for timekeeping, it was a foolproof system.

"The sun has more than half-set, the time has come. Yet, husband has not emerged; it seems we can only feed Chang'e this Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Elixir." Han Xiaoying, seeing the time had already exceeded a bit, dared not delay any longer and immediately pinched open Chang'e's mouth, ready to administer the elixir.

Bam!

The door was violently slammed open.

The two women jumped in fright, with Han Xiaoying shielding the comatose Chang'e on the sickbed. Han Shuang drew her Divine General sword, as if faced with a formidable enemy.

"Who?"

The intruder's speed was incredibly terrifying; anyone daring to barge into Fengluan Palace must be a strong opponent.

"It's your husband!"

Chu Feng's figure solidified, and the two women finally saw the face of the intruder; it was indeed their husband, both exhaled a sigh of relief.

"Have you already fed Chang'e the Soul Reviving Elixir?" Chu Feng asked somewhat nervously.

The Soul Reviving Elixir was one of the Miracle Elixirs, only to be taken once.

Every medicine has its toxicity.

The main ingredient of the Soul Reviving Elixir was the extremely evil Corpse Flower. If the Divine Soul and body were injured, taking one could have miraculous effects in healing. If two were taken consecutively, congratulations, prepare your funeral.

"I was just about to feed her; then my husband burst in!" Han Xiaoying replied with a wry smile, showing the elixir pinched in her hand.

"Wonderful!" Chu Feng was overjoyed upon hearing this, promptly opening the Jade Box to take out the newly refined Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill.

In fact, calling it a Tenth Grade Soul Reviving Pill is more appropriate.

Though it hasn't reached the Immortal Level, it is of higher grade than Ninth Grade Elixirs.

If categorized, it can barely be considered a Fake Immortal Pill.

"Fetch a cup of warm water!" Chu Feng instructed.

"Here it is, already prepared earlier, still warm!" Han Shuang handed the cup to Chu Feng.

Chu Feng first placed the Tenth Grade Soul Reviving Pill into Chang'e's mouth, then fed her warm water, carefully pouring it into her mouth.

Additionally, he helped her swallow it down.

For an unconscious patient, swallowing is extremely difficult.

Fortunately, it was Chu Feng, who had ample experience in healing and saving lives. He pressed twice on a few acupuncture points on Chang'e's body, and she automatically swallowed the elixir into her stomach.

Seeing the two sword wounds on Chang'e's body, Chu Feng wished he could just slap himself.

Because all of it was caused by Chu Feng.

At the time, to prevent her from resisting or suddenly attacking, Chu Feng stabbed her twice, sealing the Sword Essence within her body.

Striking so heavily at a woman who loved him dearly, Chu Feng's heart certainly felt hurt.

After the Tenth Grade Soul Reviving Pill was administered, the medicinal effects began to spread and were absorbed by her. Chang'e's complexion gradually improved, and the gloomy pallor slowly disappeared.

Her previously pale face showed traces of rosiness.

The furrowed brow also relaxed, pain fading from her expression. A serene and natural look appeared on her face.

Chu Feng released his Divine Sense to examine her internal condition.

He saw that her damaged brain slowly regenerated, wounds healed. The nest of the Divine Soul, the Mud Ball Palace also received restoration.

The depleted Divine Soul, like a uprooted sapling, was re-embedded into the soil. Its nutrient supply returned.

Everything progressed towards the expected target.

The Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill did indeed have impressive healing effects. This entire day's wait wasn't in vain.

Putting all his efforts into refining the Super Ninth Grade Soul Reviving Pill was worth it for Chu Feng.

"Why hasn't she awakened yet? Could there still be other issues?" Han Xiaoying, being young, was the least patient.

"Specifically, it's not clear yet. But the damage done to her by the Blood Slave Gu has mostly been repaired. It might take some additional time for her to wake up. All we can do is closely monitor her condition's progression."

Though Chu Feng was the Eternal Life Pill Master, he wasn't a God.

He could only prescribe the right treatment, finding and tackling new problems as they arose.

Chang'e had been controlled by the Blood Slave Gu for years and steadfastly resisted its erosion, suffering greatly as a result.

The disease comes like a mountain, but leaves as if unwinding silk threads.

Waking up won't be easy. More rest and recuperation are necessary.

Her life saved, it marks the greatest victory.
