Shen Mo and Lin Yaoyao each conjured their Flying Swords. The pearly white sword bodies streaked through the wind and snow, aiming directly at the Snow Leopards. Bai Li, on the other hand, formed hand Seals, her two fox tails swaying behind her. The Nine-Tailed Fox Fire in her palms instantly surged, transforming into a pillar of fire that swept towards the Snow Leopard pack. The scorching flames forced back the aggressive Snow Leopards and temporarily dispersed the surrounding wind and snow, buying valuable time for Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo. Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo seized the opportunity, soaring on their swords, bypassing the Snow Leopards, and flying towards the thousand-year snow lotus. Their Flying Swords drew two graceful arcs in the air, like two flashes of lightning, moving incredibly fast, and in an instant, they arrived near the thousand-year snow lotus.
Seeing this, the Snow Leopard pack immediately abandoned their attack on Shen Mo and instead pounced towards Lin Yaoyao and Bai Li. Their agile bodies moved as if on flat ground in the snow, incredibly fast, like arrows shot from a bow, as they lunged at Lin Yaoyao and Bai Li. Upon seeing this, Bai Li quickly controlled the Nine-Tailed Fox Fire, forming a wall of fire to block the Snow Leopards' attack. The white flames burned fiercely, emitting scorching high temperatures that melted the surrounding snow into water, creating an area filled with mist. The Snow Leopards feared the high temperature of the flames and dared not approach easily, only circling outside the fire wall, letting out low roars.
While maintaining the fire wall, Bai Li once again gathered Spiritual Qi, preparing to unleash a more powerful attack. She took a deep breath, her two fox tails swaying violently behind her, like two flags fluttering in the wind. The Spiritual Qi within her surged like a tide, converging in her palms. Her silver eyes sparkled with determined light, and her small face was slightly flushed from exertion, like a snow lotus blooming in the wind and snow.
Lin Yaoyao took the opportunity to fly next to the thousand-year snow lotus. The thousand-year snow lotus grew in the crevice of a giant rock, pure white and crystal clear, emitting a faint fragrance. It swayed gracefully in the wind and snow, like an ice Fairy, standing alone in the world. Lin Yaoyao carefully picked the thousand-year snow lotus and placed it into her Storage Ring. The thousand-year snow lotus felt cool to the touch and exuded a rich Spiritual Qi, making Lin Yaoyao feel refreshed.
After plucking the thousand-year snow lotus, Lin Yaoyao immediately returned to rendezvous with Shen Mo and Bai Li. Shen Mo's swordplay was sharp and deadly, engaging in an intense battle with the Snow Leopard pack. Her figure was nimble, moving freely among the Snow Leopards, her long sword like a spiritual snake, continuously attacking the Snow Leopards' vital points. Bai Li's fire wall, formed by the Nine-Tailed Fox Fire, firmly protected Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo, blocking the Snow Leopards' attacks. Seeing Lin Yaoyao successfully pluck the thousand-year snow lotus, Bai Li and Shen Mo both breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sister Yaoyao, let's go quickly!" Bai Li shouted. Maintaining the fire wall had consumed a lot of her Spiritual Qi, and she was feeling a bit exhausted.
Lin Yaoyao nodded. The three of them soared on their swords, which transformed into three streaks of light, quickly leaving Snow Lotus Peak. The Snow Leopard pack chased for a distance unwillingly, but seeing they couldn't catch up, they gave up, letting out unwilling roars, eventually disappearing into the wind and snow. The wind and snow grew heavier, and visibility became lower and lower, with everything around them shrouded in a vast whiteness. The three Flying Swords weaved through the wind and snow, like three meteors, streaking across the sky, flying towards the distance.
In the wind and snow, three sword lights, like fleeting glances, eventually vanished into the horizon. After safely returning to the Lin Family Villa, Lin Yaoyao and Shen Mo immediately set up an isolation Formation, completely sealing off the Alchemy room from the outside world to ensure Bai Li's Alchemy would not be disturbed. In the center of the room, Bai Li's alchemy furnace was placed. Its body was ancient, carved with intricate patterns, exuding a faint Spiritual Qi. Beneath the alchemy furnace, the fiercely burning flames illuminated Bai Li's focused face. She carefully placed the thousand-year snow lotus and other auxiliary Materials into the alchemy furnace, following the order and proportions recorded in the Pill Formula. For each medicinal material she placed, Bai Li would carefully check its quality and age, ensuring everything was foolproof. Her slender fingers nimbly changed hand Seals, controlling the flames beneath the alchemy furnace, sometimes increasing the heat, sometimes decreasing it. The color of the flames also changed accordingly, sometimes fiery red, sometimes orange-yellow, sometimes deep blue, constantly shifting.
Fine beads of sweat appeared on Bai Li's forehead. She focused intently on controlling the heat, not daring to be even slightly negligent. Alchemy was an extremely delicate task; even a slight mistake could lead to Alchemy failure, or even cause the Pill Furnace to explode. Time passed minute by minute. The medicinal Materials inside the alchemy furnace gradually melted under the high heat, fused, and finally condensed into golden Medicinal Pill prototypes. A rich Pill Fragrance wafted from the alchemy furnace, filling the entire room. The aroma was fresh and pleasant, making one feel invigorated.
Several hours later, the Pill Fragrance reached its peak, and Bai Li knew that the foundation establishment pill was about to be refined. She took a deep breath, quickly formed hand Seals, and struck the last incantation into the alchemy furnace. The alchemy furnace emitted a slight hum, and the furnace lid slowly opened. Three foundation establishment pills, emitting golden light, flew out of the furnace, suspended in the air like three shining stars.
Bai Li put the three foundation establishment pills into a jade bottle, then wiped the sweat from her forehead and let out a long sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on her face. Although the process of refining the foundation establishment pill was long and arduous, she had ultimately succeeded. She handed the jade bottle to Lin Yaoyao, saying, "Sister Yaoyao, the foundation establishment pill is ready."
Lin Yaoyao took the jade bottle and opened the stopper. A rich Pill Fragrance wafted out, invigorating her spirit. She looked at the foundation establishment pills, glowing golden in the bottle, her eyes filled with anticipation and excitement. She poured out one foundation establishment pill. The Medicinal Pill felt warm and smooth in her hand, exuding a faint fragrance, like fine mutton-fat jade, crystal clear. Lin Yaoyao swallowed the foundation establishment pill without hesitation. The Medicinal Pill melted instantly upon entering her mouth, transforming into a powerful energy that rapidly spread throughout her body, impacting her Meridians, cleansing her Physical Body, and causing her to feel a tingling numbness and pain.
Lin Yaoyao sat cross-legged, forming hand Seals, and began to refine the medicinal power of the foundation establishment pill. She guided the medicinal power to circulate through her body, nourishing her Meridians and Dantian. The Spiritual Qi in the room also began to fluctuate, as if summoned, surging towards Lin Yaoyao's body, forming a visible Spiritual Qi vortex that enveloped her. A faint golden light emanated from Lin Yaoyao's body, as if she were bathed in Holy Light, sacred and solemn.
Bai Li and Shen Mo stood by, acting as Protectors for Lin Yaoyao. They vigilantly observed their surroundings, preventing anyone from disturbing Lin Yaoyao's Cultivation. Bai Li's two fox tails swayed gently, like two flags fluttering in the wind, her silver eyes sparkling with determined light, maintaining constant vigilance. Shen Mo, holding her long sword, had eyes like torches. She circulated her Spiritual Qi to its extreme, forming a Protective Aura that shielded Lin Yaoyao, ensuring her safety.
Several days later, a powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuation suddenly erupted in Lin Yaoyao's room, like a volcanic eruption, sweeping through the entire room. The furniture and decorations in the room were violently shaken by this powerful Spiritual Qi fluctuation, making creaking sounds. Lin Yaoyao slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sparkling with bright light, like two shining stars. Her aura had also undergone a tremendous change, becoming even more powerful and unfathomable. She had successfully Broken Through to the Golden Core Stage!
Bai Li and Shen Mo felt the powerful aura emanating from Lin Yaoyao and both revealed relieved smiles. They knew that their efforts and hard work had finally paid off.
"Wow, Sister Yaoyao, you actually succeeded in Breaking Through to the Golden Core Stage!" Bai Li, like a joyful little bird, darted to Lin Yaoyao's side. Her voice was as clear and pleasant as silver bells, and a brilliant smile, like spring flowers, bloomed on her face. She eagerly reached out and tightly grasped Lin Yaoyao's hand, her furry tails swaying happily behind her like two dancing white silk ribbons. Shen Mo also stepped towards Lin Yaoyao, a warm, sun-like smile gracing her lips, and softly said, "Congratulations, Yaoyao." Her words were like flowing water, sincere and touching, her eyes filled with genuine blessings. She deeply understood that Lin Yaoyao's successful Breakthrough was not only her personal glorious achievement but also the culmination of their collective efforts and struggles.
Lin Yaoyao looked at Bai Li and Shen Mo, her heart filled with gratitude. "Thank you, Bai Li, Shen Mo." Her tone was gentle, her eyes filled with gratitude and warmth. "Without your help, I wouldn't have been able to Break Through to the Golden Core Stage so smoothly." She reached out and took Bai Li's and Shen Mo's hands, feeling the warmth from their palms, and a warm current surged through her heart.
At this moment, in Bai Li's mind, the crisp voice of system xiao mai sounded again: "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the mission!
