Although the Minghai Academy had hosted the autumn moon party in the evening, which attracted a lot of people, there was practically no one left around at this hour except for the Blood Blade people.

Ye Xiao drove his Haval H6 rapidly toward Ling Shuya's villa!

When he got back to the villa, the lights on the first floor were still on. Ye Xiao parked the car and pushed the door open!

However, just as the door had opened, he immediately heard a scream from inside the villa!

It was a scream that really startled Ye Xiao, so he hastily leapt into the villa. But at that moment, he saw that the screen in the villa was displaying a horror movie, Mr. Zombie!

At that moment, there were several girls sitting in the villa's hall. Seeing Ye Xiao, they each patted their chests and said, "It's not a ghost! It's not a ghost!"

"Damn, why watch a horror movie in the middle of the night?" Ye Xiao said. "If you're going to watch, why get scared like that!"

"Hmph, it's fine for you to have fun, but we can't watch a horror movie?" Ling Shuya retorted.

Ye Xiao was just about to deny it, but then he thought about it and realized that he had really been out having fun, so he quickly changed the subject.

"Aren't you going to rest? There are classes tomorrow," Ye Xiao reminded them.

"Sorry, tomorrow is the weekend!"

It was then that Ye Xiao realized why they were still watching a horror movie so late—it was the weekend!

Consequently, Ye Xiao immediately headed for his room. Tang Rong was hiding close to Shen Qiuyu like a little kitten, clearly very scared, but still eager to watch. Seeing Ye Xiao heading to his room, she immediately asked him, "Big brother, aren't you watching?"

"I..." Ye Xiao had long since lost any passion for this type of horror movie, but he couldn't just say he didn't want to watch; otherwise, they might think he didn't want to watch it with them. So, he said, "I'm scared!"

When they heard Ye Xiao say he was scared, Shen Qiuyu, Ling Shuya, and Zhou Yuyan almost burst out laughing. Scared? Since when did Ye Xiao ever get scared? Killing for him was as easy as playing, and yet he was scared of a horror movie?

But Tang Rong believed him and seriously told Ye Xiao, "Big brother, you better go back to your room, it's really scary."

Ye Xiao chuckled, then darted into his room!

While the girls continued to watch the horror movie outside, Ye Xiao began studying his Pills.

He had already spent a long time the previous and the night before that on it. The old man's formula should be good, but why did it always fail? Could it be that he wasn't managing the heat correctly?

Ye Xiao really didn't believe in misfortune, so he began refining again!

Ye Xiao meticulously refined the medicine, his heart bleeding as he failed again and again, signifying his money burning away rapidly!

Ye Xiao now finally understood why these Pills were so expensive; their refinement was truly very troublesome, easily failing if not careful. He now understood that refining Heart Cleansing Pills was actually quite easy.

However, although he failed every time, it wasn't without some gain; at least, his technique for refining Source Life Liquid was improving with each attempt.

But, the only downside was that it was still one failure after another!

Before he knew it, another night passed!

Ye Xiao persevered in his refining, but it seemed as though fate wasn't on his side; continuous failures turned all the expensive Pills to ashes. To prevent the gas released from the failures from harming him, Ye Xiao specifically opened the windows to let the breeze carry it away. Once it mingled with the air, it quickly dispersed.

In the early morning, the sky started to lighten.

In Ye Xiao's hands, only the last batch of ingredients remained; materials worth tens of millions of Northern Federation Coins had all turned to ashes. Ye Xiao, looking at the last of his materials, focused even more intensely.

In the center of his hands, the True Qi Fire was sometimes scorching hot and sometimes gentle.

It wasn't long before the mix of Bitter Life Fruit juice and Snake Desire Grass in the flame began to change—not turning redder, but shifting toward a grassy green. Seeing this, Ye Xiao was overjoyed and focused even more intensely on his task.

Half an hour later, the grass-green mixture had turned into a deep green liquid, like clear water. But just then, Ye Xiao spotted something astonishing; the deep green liquid was rapidly absorbing the Nine Yang True Qi from his body!

The True Qi Fire, already transforming into Nine Yang True Qi, was already consuming a lot of True Qi. However, the mixture was now sucking the True Qi voraciously, surpassing any of Ye Xiao's previous consumption rates, even faster than during battle!

Sixty percent!

50 percent!

40 percent!

30 percent!

In the blink of an eye, Ye Xiao felt the Nine Yang True Qi inside his body nearly drained, and he couldn't believe what was happening!

The Nine Yang True Qi kept declining rapidly, and its depletion did not slow down the descent; instead, it was accelerating!

Ye Xiao felt dizzy, but being a mentally strong person, he persevered!

Finally, only 10 percent of the Nine Yang True Qi remained!

It was then that he realized the mixture was gradually slowing down its absorption pace.

During rapid absorption, the speed was high, but when it slowed down, it immediately stopped absorbing!

When the mixture ceased absorbing Ye Xiao's Nine Yang True Qi, he suddenly saw a glimmer of light as the green liquid started glowing brightly!

What?

Ye Xiao, astonished, watched the glowing liquid, observed its clear color and volume, then carefully poured the liquid into an ashtray prepared two days earlier with a smile on his face.

There wasn't much liquid, about one milliliter, which meant there were only about 20 drops at most!

This was the supreme "Source Life Liquid" that Ye Xiao had spent three nights refining!

Looking at the ashtray filled with Source Life Liquid, Ye Xiao felt both amused and frustrated. Millions of Northern Federation Coins resulted in just a tiny bit of liquid—one milliliter, actually about 15 usable drops!

Ye Xiao sighed. This was definitely more expensive than gold!

Ye Xiao thought he needed to find something appropriate to store it. Although he generally didn't care about many things, he considered this Source Life Liquid very precious.

Checking the time, it was about eight o'clock, but there was no sound in the villa.

Ye Xiao was eager to test the effects of the Source Life Liquid, although he harbored some skepticism about the liquid he had created.

He carefully carried the ashtray with the Source Life Liquid out of his room.

No one else was on the first floor of the villa, so without a second thought, Ye Xiao rushed upstairs. Possessing the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he didn't need the liquid's assistance, but others surely did!

Thus, Ye Xiao went to the second floor and directly approached Ling Shuya's room. Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan were still asleep, probably because they were very confident in the villa's security; although the door was closed, it wasn't locked.

So, Ye Xiao pushed the door open and saw Ling Shuya and Zhou Yuyan still in their slumber—naked, which was not the focus but definitely striking. They must have stayed up late watching movies last night because they were still deeply asleep.

"Time to wake up, or I'll spank you!" Ye Xiao announced loudly near Ling Shuya's princess bed to the two sleeping women.

"What are you yelling about? I'm dead tired!" Zhou Yuyan, with eyes still closed, turned over, facing Ye Xiao with her entire body. He studied her very closely.

Ye Xiao took a keen glance at her; despite having a tough night with Liu Muyun, Ye Xiao—who is a robust man—could certainly handle the strain!

However, about five seconds after Zhou Yuyan spoke, she sensed something was off—this wasn't Ling Shuya's voice. So, she hurriedly opened her eyes, only to find Ye Xiao smiling at her.

Zhou Yuyan instinctively looked down at her body, remembered she slept naked to improve sleep quality, and then…

"Ah…" A piercing scream erupted from Zhou Yuyan.

Ling Shuya, also in deep sleep, was startled, sitting up quickly and exclaimed, "What's happening? Is it an earthquake?"

But as soon as Ling Shuya spoke, she too saw Ye Xiao grinning at the edge of her bed.

Ling Shuya instinctively covered herself with a blanket. Unlike Zhou Yuyan's scream, she frowned and asked, "When did you come in? How can you just barge into our room?"

It was obvious from the way Ling Shuya phrased her question that she did it on purpose; after all, this wasn't Ye Xiao's first time here.
