How The Little Medical Cultivator Saves the Furries – CH98

Chapter 98

“What do you need me to do?”

Lu Nanzhou activated the voice device and asked, “Upgrade the Green Jade Brush?”

Ye Yumeng had mentioned it to him before, and he’d remembered it ever since.

However, Ye Yumeng shook his head.

Recently, he’d been fully focused on treatments and medicine research. His talisman drawing had been progressing steadily, so upgrading the Green Jade Brush was no longer that urgent.

He stood up and walked over to a cabinet. After opening it, he carried out a huge rock from inside.

“This is…?”

“Meteoric iron that Mo Yin found for me.” Ye Yumeng placed the meteorite iron onto the workbench.

He had discovered this special material among the newly delivered mineral pigments, and after asking Mo Yin about it, he ended up obtaining this chunk.

“What do you want to use it for?” Lu Nanzhou asked curiously.

Ye Yumeng grinned. “A pill furnace.”

After obtaining this meteoric iron, he’d started entertaining the idea of refining a pill furnace. Part of the reason he’d become so absorbed in medicine research these past days was because of this.

He had already developed formulas for two kinds of medicinal pills, and the materials were fully prepared.

Everything was ready except the final crucial step!

Originally, he had asked Mo Yin to continue helping him search for a natural spiritual flame, but now that the little rabbit had broken through to first-layer completion and undergone rebirth, his body basically no longer had major issues.

Which meant using his Mystic Flame to assist in refining had become possible.

“We’ll make a smaller one first and slowly improve it later,” Ye Yumeng said. “I’ll need your flames to help with the refining process.”

“No problem.” Lu Nanzhou nodded.

Being able to help Ye Yumeng in any way made him happier than anything else.

“Great, then we’ll refine it tonight beneath the moonlight.” Ye Yumeng said excitedly. “First, let me explain the exact process to you.”

So Ye Yumeng dragged over a chair, leaned against the workbench, and moved close while speaking to the little rabbit.

Lu Nanzhou gazed at the young man right in front of him, faint laughter and warmth flowing through his eyes.

Of course, he still listened very carefully to everything Ye Yumeng said.

The man and rabbit huddled together, discussing the details of refining the pill furnace for a very long time.

Outside the medicine research room.

Lan Fangyu happened to glimpse this scene through the window. Unable to resist, he secretly snapped a picture.

He didn’t even know why, but whenever he saw the two of them together, he felt that the atmosphere was especially warm and comforting—even though His Majesty was currently just a little rabbit.

The more Lan Fangyu looked at the photo, the more satisfied he became. After hesitating for a moment, he secretly sent the picture to Mo Yin.

[Lan Fangyu]: Doctor Ye seems to be explaining something to His Majesty. His Majesty’s listening so seriously.

[Lan Fangyu]: I only sent it to you! I didn’t send it to anyone else!

Mo Yin: Mm. Save the picture, then delete your copy.

[Lan Fangyu]: Roger that(T^T)

Mo Yin: You can keep taking photos. Send them to me and delete them on your end afterward.

Seeing this reply, Lan Fangyu froze.

[Lan Fangyu]: Brother Mo Yin… what do you want these pictures for?

Mo Yin: For His Majesty.

Lan Fangyu’s hand trembled in fright.

Wasn’t this basically delivering evidence right to the victim’s face?!

[Lan Fangyu]: Isn’t that a bit bad? If His Majesty finds out, won’t he exile me to the frontier planets?

Mo Yin: He won’t.

Although Mo Yin’s replies were always extremely brief, recalling how Mo Yin had previously instructed him to play Doctor Ye’s storytelling recordings for His Majesty, Lan Fangyu ultimately decided to trust him again.

Brother Mo Yin definitely understood His Majesty better than he did!

[Lan Fangyu]: Alright, I’ll listen to you.

That meant he could now secretly filming with peace of mind!

He absolutely had to capture His Majesty’s pocket-rabbit moments, otherwise it would feel like a lifelong regret.

What Lan Fangyu failed to notice was that inside the medicine research room, the little rabbit’s ears suddenly twitched slightly. He turned his head and glanced in Lan Fangyu’s direction before quietly withdrawing his gaze again.

Night fell.

Moonlight draped over the entire botanical garden like a thin veil, as though the earth had been covered in flowing silver frost. The spiritual plants stretched out their leaves and gently swayed their branches, producing faint rustling sounds.

From Ye Yumeng and Lu Nanzhou’s perspective, the entire botanical garden was suffused with a faint spiritual glow, looking beneath the moonlight like a sea of stars.

Lu Nanzhou quietly watched the scene.

Whenever he thought about how this was a sight only he and Ye Yumeng could see, a secret belonging exclusively to the two of them, joy would uncontrollably rise within his heart.

“Wait here for a bit first.”

Out in the open clearing, Ye Yumeng settled the little rabbit onto a soft cushion.

After an entire day had passed, the little rabbit’s fur had grown a little longer. As Ye Yumeng rubbed the top of his head, it already felt fluffy to the touch.

Then Ye Yumeng began setting up a formation around the clearing.

He still used king-grade plant pots as the primary formation materials, along with several rare ores Mo Yin had helped him find.

Once the formation was complete, the official refining of the pill furnace began.

“Little Rabbit.”

At Ye Yumeng’s call, Lu Nanzhou released his Mystic Flame.

Only a tiny cluster of black-red fire quietly burned beneath the moonlight, yet merely looking at it was enough to feel how terrifyingly powerful it was.

Ye Yumeng had already explained the entire refining process to him thoroughly earlier that day.

As Ye Yumeng controlled the meteoric iron and suspended it in midair, Lu Nanzhou also directed the Mystic Flame beneath it.

Under the burning of the Mystic Flame, the meteoric iron rapidly melted into molten metal.

The molten metal did not drip onto the ground. Instead, under Ye Yumeng’s control, it flowed continuously through the air while remaining condensed into a single mass.

Meanwhile, the impurities hidden within the molten metal were gradually burned away by the Mystic Flame.

While manipulating the molten metal, Ye Yumeng also carefully sensed the Mystic Flame released by the little rabbit.

The flames truly were powerful, but what surprised him was that they weren’t as violent as he had imagined.

Under the little rabbit’s control, the fire behaved as obediently as a tiny lamb.

Under the blessing of the moonlight, the flames even carried a strangely peaceful aura.

And that was exactly what Ye Yumeng needed.

A smile appeared on his face, though he didn’t dare lose focus. After all the meteoric iron had fully melted and every impurity had been removed, he once again formed hand seals with both hands.

One intricate seal after another was cast out before finally being struck into the mass of molten metal.

The Mystic Flame continued burning steadily.

For Lu Nanzhou, this actually wasn’t difficult. The power of the Mystic Flame was extremely special—as long as there was material to burn, the fire could continue existing indefinitely without needing constant power from him.

So during the first half of the process, he was actually quite relaxed and even had spare attention to admire Ye Yumeng’s cool and mysterious figure beneath the moonlight.

“Little Rabbit!”

At Ye Yumeng’s reminder, Lu Nanzhou finally became serious.

Once all the impurities had been burned away, his own power needed to become the fuel source for the Mystic Flame. Otherwise, the body of the pill furnace itself would be damaged.

Under the attraction of the formation array, spiritual energy continuously gathered toward them, supplying an endless stream of spiritual power.

As Ye Yumeng continuously struck in hand seals, the irregular mass of molten metal gradually took shape. One could already vaguely make out the outline of a pill furnace.

Lu Nanzhou focused intently, not daring to let his mind wander in the slightest.

Under Ye Yumeng’s direction, he continuously manipulated the Mystic Flame to forge the embryonic form of the pill furnace.

Ye Yumeng’s spiritual liquid vortex spun wildly, converting the surrounding spiritual energy into spiritual power for his use.

At the very final moment, Ye Yumeng suddenly looked up toward the sky.

Sensing his movement, Lu Nanzhou also followed his gaze upward.

He saw that among the stars dimmed beneath the moonlight, seven suddenly lit up with dazzling brilliance.

The seven stars flashed simultaneously, and seven streams of star power—visible only to cultivators—descended from the heavens and poured into the fully formed pill furnace.

Lu Nanzhou couldn’t help feeling deeply shaken.

Meanwhile, Ye Yumeng once again formed hand seals and sent out a droplet of spiritual liquid he had prepared beforehand, merging it into the furnace together with the power of the stars.

As the starlight and spiritual liquid fused into it, the changes within the pill furnace finally ceased.

“Little Rabbit, it’s done.”

Ye Yumeng slowly let out a breath and spoke to the little rabbit.

With a gentle wave of his hand, an exquisite little pill furnace flew up from above the Mystic Flame and hovered over Ye Yumeng’s palm.

The furnace was entirely jade-white, its surface carved with beautiful ancient patterns. Faint starlight flowed across its body, making it look incomparably refined while also carrying a calming force that naturally soothed the heart and mind.

The pill furnace had been successfully refined!

Ye Yumeng revealed a satisfied smile, but when he turned to look at the little rabbit, he suddenly froze.

The little rabbit sat beneath the moonlight, staring at him with sparkling eyes.

For a moment, Ye Yumeng almost thought he was seeing Xueqiu.

Back in the cultivation world, when Xueqiu was still around, it had always helped him like this too—not only tending the fire, but also grinding medicinal herbs and assisting him at his side.

And every time he achieved something, he would always share his joy with it first as well.

Xueqiu had truly accompanied him for a very, very long time…

Ye Yumeng shook his head and suppressed the emotions that had suddenly surged up from nowhere.

Seeing the little rabbit withdraw the Mystic Flame before his limbs suddenly went limp and collapsed onto the soft cushion, Ye Yumeng hurriedly put away the pill furnace and walked over.

“Little Rabbit, are you alright?”

He picked the little rabbit up and carefully checked him over. Fortunately, he was only exhausted from overexertion.

The refining of the pill furnace had lasted several hours. Even Ye Yumeng himself was struggling a little, much less the little rabbit who had only recently recovered from serious illness.

“Thank you. Close your eyes and sleep for a while.”

Ye Yumeng held the little rabbit in his arms, gently stroking his head while simultaneously releasing the power of the Nourishing Art.

Leaning against his chest and breathing in the comforting scent from his body, Lu Nanzhou only felt peaceful and secure. He allowed himself to drift into sleep without resistance.

The sky was already beginning to brighten.

After putting away the pill furnace and materials, Ye Yumeng carried the little rabbit back to the room.

After several hours of continuous artifact refining, he too felt utterly exhausted.

In the end, he simply lay down on the bed as well, holding the little rabbit in his arms—just like how he used to hug Xueqiu for warmth during winter nights in the cultivation world—and peacefully fell asleep.

That night, both of them slept especially soundly.

As though something they had been missing for a very long time, something incomparably important to them, had finally returned to their side once more…
