Chapter 13: Protagonist Refinement Halo

"It's actually a mental attack talisman. Such talismans are extremely rare. Fortunately, Senior Lin was there to help; otherwise Huh? Su Zhan actually broke free from the illusion before me?" At this moment, Su Zhaoyue also walked out of the black light, her face pale as she muttered to herself. When she saw Su Zhan seemingly unaffected, her face was filled with astonishment.

She could quickly break free because Senior Lin secretly helped her. Could it be that there is also a remnant soul of an extraordinary powerhouse attached to Su Zhan?

Su Zhaoyue was puzzled, but it wasn't the time to ask such questions. She looked wary, holding a fiery red longsword, and stared at Yang Tiangui.

"Boom!" As both of them had walked out of the black light, the enormous ghost king formed by the talisman shattered and dissipated.

Yang Tiangui looked at Su Zhan, then at Su Zhaoyue, and his heart broke down.

He had thought that even a peak Essence Condensation Realm expert would be trapped for at least three seconds, but now, Su Zhaoyue, who was only at the Qi Sea Realm initial stage, easily walked out in less than three seocnds!

And Su Zhan's situation was even more unbelievable. He simply ignored it

What kind of rubbish talisman did the Sect Master give me?

"As the top talent of Liang Province, is this your strongest trump card"? Su Zhan glanced at Su Zhaoyue, who had fully recovered, and said to Yang Tianghui, "Why don't you try making a silly face? Maybe then I'll be really scared, especially with your stunning looks!"

"You!" Yang Tiangui was infuriated.

Gripping his longsword tightly, he wished he could tear Su Zhan into a thousand pieces!

Taking a deep breath, he produced a blood-red pill in his hand and swallowed it in one gulp. Immediately, his weakened aura surged back.

"Su Zhan, as the most favored disciple of the Sky Gate Sect, Yang Tiangui definitely has other means. Be careful!" Su Zhaoyue said with a serious expression, gripping her sword tightly.

"I know," Su Zhan's gaze focused.

Even if one hasn't eaten pork, they've seen pigs run. Generally speaking, taking medicine during a battle that means they're desperate.

"Su Zhan! You and I won't rest until one of us is dead! I'll wait for you outside the ruins!" Yang Tiangui roared, his body enveloped in a crimson mist, and he quickly fled

He's running away?Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Su Zhan was momentarily stunned, then quickly activated the Swift Wind Step and chased after him.

However, under the effect of that pill, his speed was slightly slower. In the end, he could only burst forth, closing the distance a little and striking with a sword.

The chilling intent of the sword enveloped Yang Tiangui, causing his body to slow down slightly, while a frosty sword aura descended.

Sensing the movement behind him, Yang Tiangui didn't turn his head and instinctively moved his body to the side.

Right now, the gap is too big

Afterward, the two of them began searching for more Purple Yang Flowers in the Extreme Yang Valley.

After spending half a day, they picked all the Purple Yang Flowers they could find in the valley. There were a total of 31 plants.

"Su Zhan, thanks to you for coming to the Extreme Yang Valley this time. How about this, you take 21 Purple Yang Flowers, and I'll take 10."

While speaking, Su Zhaoyue reached out to touch the Purple Yang Flower plants placed on the ground between them.

"No need, I'll take 16, and you take 15." Su Zhan shook his head and directly collected the 16 of them from the ground.

If it weren't for Su Zhaoyue, he wouldn't have found this place, and besides he wouldn't take advantage of a girl like that.

"Then I'll accept them. I do need to improve my cultivation as soon as possible now. When the opportunity arises, I will definitely repay you!" Su Zhaoyue didn't act coy and accepted them graciously.

After a moment of hesitation, Su Zhaoyue said, "Actually, the Purple Yang Flowers are not my ultimate goal. There are still treasures hidden in the Extreme Yang Valley that haven't surfaced. So, I need to stay here for some time. That particular treasure is very special and only I can retrieve it. Su Zhan, if you want to search for other treasures, you can go ahead."

"There are more treasures?" Su Zhan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I'll wait here! It's a good time to refine the Purple Yang Flowers."

"Alright, by tomorrow noon, I will be able to bring forth the treasure. If you can retrieve it, feel free to take it. However, the chances of that happening are extremely slim!"

"What kind of treasure is it, after all?"

"It's a secret. You'll find out tomorrow!" Su Zhaoyue revealed a mischievous smile, resembling a playful girl next door.

Afterward, the two of them stood five meters apart on the central open space of the Extreme Yang Valley and began refining the Purple Yang Flowers individually.

"Purple Yang Flowers have a significant effect on cultivators in helping them break through to the Essence Condensation Realm, but they are also quite difficult to refine. We have one more day until tomorrow morning. If I don't rest tonight, I should be able to refine one leaf of the Purple Yang Flowers. Su Zhan, you have better talent than me, so perhaps you can try two leaves"

Su Zhaoyue paused in the middle of her sentence as she saw Su Zhan gulp down a whole intact plant of Purple Yang fowers, abruptly silencing her words.

Well, with your twisted talent, one day should be enough for you to refine an entire plant

Su Zhaoyue looked at Su Zhan with a bit of resentment, swallowed a leaf herself, and began the refining process.

"Ding! Achievement task First Acquisition and Refinement of Spirit Medicine' completed. Unlocking a new Halo: [Protagonist Refinement Halo]!"

[Protagonist Refinement Halo]: Greatly reduces the refining time, greatly enhances the refining effect, greatly increases the range of spirit medicines, pill refining, and other categories. If you can't even refine the medicines you acquire, can you still be called the protagonist?

Su Zhan's mouth twitched as he had just started refining the Purple Yang Flowers. He didn't expect to unlock another Halo just by refining a medicinal plant.
