"The Life Devouring Beast has sensed our intrusion. Quickly, refine the pills…" Yin Qianyin barely managed to speak a sentence, and after she finished, she became completely still.

Mo Wuji felt waves of powerful life force spreading around him, these waves of strong life force perfectly offsetting the life-eroding aura from before, leaving him unaffected.

Mo Wuji knew very well that his only safe place was right beside Yin Qianyin. Even taking a single step away would result in his cultivation being insufficient, and he would instantly have all his life force sucked away by the Life Devouring Beast. It was only now that Mo Wuji suddenly realized something. He and Yin Qianyin were not on the same safety level when they came here. If Yin Qianyin couldn't resist the life-force erosion, she could abandon him and escape, while he could only wait to die.

Understanding this, how could Mo Wuji dare to overthink things? He placed the pill furnace on the ground as quickly as possible, and at the same time, he took out the orange flame stone and activated it.

The orange flames enveloped the bottom of the pill furnace. Mo Wuji took out the Spirit Replenishing Lotus medicinal ingredients that he had prepared and placed them beside him, and then began to clean the furnace.

All of his movements were without hesitation, flowing smoothly like clouds and water.

Yin Qianyin, though struggling, secretly nodded in appreciation. Mo Wuji didn't seem panicked in the face of life and death, but was instead remarkably calm, proceeding step by step without the slightest error.

Mo Wuji had already cleaned the pill furnace several times, so this cleaning only needed to be done once.

Mo Wuji threw the medicinal ingredients into the pill furnace and began to extract them.

Mo Wuji had only used crimson flame stones for refining pills before, never any other flames. Now that he was using an orange flame stone, he realized that it was much easier to refine pills compared to using a crimson flame stone. Combined with the pill refining hand seals, his Yuan energy consumption was also much lower.

One by one, the medicinal ingredients were purified by Mo Wuji, and the impurities were thrown out of the pill furnace. Because Mo Wuji was working at full speed, he completely extracted the ingredients in just twenty minutes.

The process of fusing the ingredients was still calm. With the help of the orange flame stone, Mo Wuji fused the ingredients in the shortest amount of time.

Just as Mo Wuji was about to begin condensing the pills, he felt his life force slowly dissipating again.

Mo Wuji was shocked. His hand trembled, almost causing the already fused medicinal liquid to collapse and be destroyed. He no longer cared about concealing his strength or conserving his energy. Yuan energy surged as he sent several consecutive pill refining seals into the pill furnace.

The collapsing medicinal liquid stabilized again, and Mo Wuji finally had time to glance at Yin Qianyin.

Yin Qianyin had her eyes closed, her face pale, and her hands were trembling slightly. In this short period of time, Mo Wuji felt as if she had lost more than ten pounds. He even saw a hint of white appearing in her sideburns.

At this moment, Mo Wuji could confirm that Yin Qianyin wouldn't last much longer.

If Yin Qianyin continued to hold on, even if she wanted to escape later, it would probably be difficult. Yin Qianyin knew she had a chance to escape, but she still chose to stay and resist the Life Devouring Beast's life-force consumption. Although she was risking her life for the sake of the ruins, Mo Wuji was still very grateful. Now, his life depended on Yin Qianyin's decision. If Yin Qianyin continued to persist, he would live; if Yin Qianyin escaped, he would prepare to die.

At this moment, Mo Wuji had no more reservations. Condensing seals were continuously sent into the pill furnace. Not to mention that Yin Qianyin couldn't pay attention to him now, even if she did, he would use his trump card pill refining seals to desperately condense the pills.

With Mo Wuji disregarding his energy consumption, the fragrance of pills wafted out in less than ten minutes.

The pills were formed! Mo Wuji was overjoyed. He frantically sent out different condensing hand seals into the pill furnace. His Yuan energy was rapidly depleted, and his face turned pale as well. Sweat dripped from his cheeks, and Mo Wuji could feel his hands trembling.

Perhaps he would not be able to hold on in the next moment. But at this moment, Mo Wuji was still grateful to Yin Qianyin. Yin Qianyin had already been consumed by the Life Devouring Beast, but she still protected him, allowing him to have the opportunity to condense the pills.

Another minute passed, and twelve azure pills were completely condensed in the pill furnace. Mo Wuji slapped the pill furnace and began to collect the pills.

His pill refining seals could condense pills without regard for consumption, but he still couldn't collect the pills. With his cultivation, even if he risked his life, he couldn't use the pill-collecting seal. The color of pills collected by any other method would be slightly worse, and some of their medicinal properties would be lost. But Mo Wuji couldn't care about that now. Being able to refine the pills was a great joy to him.

The twelve pills were sent into the jade bottle that Yin Qianyin had given him. Mo Wuji didn't have time to extinguish the flames beneath the pill furnace, and two Spirit Replenishing Lotus pills were sent into Yin Qianyin's mouth. At the same time, Mo Wuji also swallowed a Spirit Replenishing Lotus pill himself.

Not long after Mo Wuji swallowed the Spirit Replenishing Lotus pill, he felt a scorching aura spreading from his body, and this scorching aura directly melted the aura that was covering his body and devouring his life force.

'What good stuff,' Mo Wuji thought in surprise.

The medicinal power of the Spirit Replenishing Lotus pill was consumed too quickly. At the moment Mo Wuji finished condensing the pills, Yin Qianyin was affected by the aura of the Spirit Replenishing Lotus pill and woke up.

She opened her eyes and saw Mo Wuji collecting the pills. At this moment, she was extremely excited. She hadn't chosen the wrong person. Mo Wuji had really succeeded. He had used a single opportunity, under immense pressure, to refine the first batch of Grade 2 Mortal Spirit Pills as a Grade 1 Mortal Pill Refiner. Fortunately, she had chosen to believe in Mo Wuji at the last moment. Otherwise, there would definitely be no hope for the items in the ruins, and even if she had escaped, there would be a crack in her heart because Mo Wuji would have fallen because of her.

Two pills flew over, and she swallowed them without hesitation. Then, she rushed into the middle of the blue vines. "Junior Brother Mo, quickly follow me in. If I can't hold on, immediately give me a pill."

Without Yin Qianyin's reminder, Mo Wuji had already rushed in.

"Bang!" A powerful force surged over, and Mo Wuji was sent flying, crashing into the vines.

It was only now that Mo Wuji saw clearly that the thing fighting with Yin Qianyin was just a small creature less than a foot long. It looked like a fox, but its tail and ears were very short. Or rather, it was a combination of a fox and a puppy.

"Don't lean on the vines…" As Yin Qianyin's voice came, Mo Wuji felt something biting his back heavily. A numb sensation instantly spread out.

It was a poisonous snake. Mo Wuji had been studying various medicinal ingredients for a long time. Back on Earth, he had been bitten by poisonous snakes in the mountains more than once. The moment he was bitten by a snake, he grabbed a porcelain bottle and poured a Detoxification Pill into his mouth almost without any pause.

The Detoxification Pill took effect instantly, and the numb feeling was directly blocked, then devoured by the medicinal power of the Detoxification Pill.

Mo Wuji breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took a step back. He had heard Yin Qianyin say that as long as she fought with the Life Devouring Beast, the Life Devouring Beast would no longer devour his life force, which made him lower his guard.

He didn't expect that there would be so many poisonous snakes in the place where the Life Devouring Beast lived. Fortunately, he had the foresight to refine a batch of Detoxification Pills. Otherwise, with the toxicity of these poisonous snakes, he was afraid that he wouldn't even have a chance to save himself.

Seeing that Mo Wuji had detoxified himself, Yin Qianyin breathed a sigh of relief. She suddenly had a new perspective on Mo Wuji's previous fear of death. The poisonous snake that had bitten Mo Wuji was not an ordinary snake. If Mo Wuji didn't have the Spirit Replenishing Lotus pill, she wouldn't have dared to leave the Life Devouring Beast to save Mo Wuji.

She didn't expect Mo Wuji to detoxify himself, and so quickly. Looking at his technique, it wasn't the first time he had been bitten by a snake. No wonder he first refined a batch of Detoxification Pills when he was able to refine Grade 2 Mortal Spirit Pills. He seemed to have a certain goal and plan when he did things, which made Yin Qianyin's view of Mo Wuji change again.

Once the snake venom was suppressed, Mo Wuji drew out the sharp knife on his leg and swung it back. With a splatter of blood, the poisonous snake that had bitten Mo Wuji was cut in two.

At this time, Mo Wuji realized that there was more than one poisonous snake on the vines. Many of them were intertwined with the vines, making them impossible to see clearly.

"Spirit Replenishing Lotus Pill…" Just then, Mo Wuji heard Yin Qianyin's urgent voice again.

Mo Wuji turned his head and saw the Life Devouring Beast pouncing on Yin Qianyin, and Yin Qianyin's movements had become extremely slow. Without thinking, he poured out two more Spirit Replenishing Lotus pills and threw them into Yin Qianyin's mouth.

As the Spirit Replenishing Lotus pills were swallowed by Yin Qianyin, the Life Devouring Beast pounced on Yin Qianyin's body. Yin Qianyin's hands were like a fairy scattering flowers, transforming into countless complex gestures that landed on the Life Devouring Beast's body.
