Acai's Sky

Chapter 1000: Smoke Smokes Over the Red Alchemy Furnace

"boom!"

As the roar of the last batch of pills was heard, the temperature in the alchemy room suddenly rose.

Hot air carrying the fragrance of medicine blew towards her, and the steaming mist condensed into a hazy white veil in front of Ah Cai's eyes, enveloping her figure, as if she was in a fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist.

Hundreds of furnaces of [Top-grade Nine-transformation Resurrection Pill] and [Top-grade Rejuvenation Pill] have just been refined. The rich medicinal fragrance seems to be tangible, spreading and surging in the alchemy room, making the entire alchemy room filled with a dreamlike atmosphere.

The strange fragrance emitted by those medicinal herbs under high temperature refining, mixed with the mysterious smell of the elixir, penetrated into Ah Cai's nostrils, bringing some comfort to her tired body and mind.

Ah Cai looked at the spectacular sight of medicine bottles all over the floor, her heart filled with emotion.

She prepared these pills for all the summoned heroes and Chinese military players who were summoned to "Yellow Spring Street".

Thinking of those people being kicked to pieces by the Yellow Springs Treasure Guardian for no reason, Ah Cai felt guilty.

Although it was not her fault, as the convener of this action, she always felt that she should do something for everyone.

For her, refining precious elixirs is undoubtedly the best way to compensate.

It's nothing more than spending some gold coins, but these gold coins can be exchanged for everyone's safety. In Acai's opinion, everything is worth it.

She raised her hand to wipe away the fine beads of sweat on her forehead. The sweat continued to seep out under the evaporation of the hot air, sliding down her cheeks and soaking her collar.

With a satisfied smile on his lips, he secluded himself for three days, guarding the [Taohuawu Medicine Refining Artifact] without sleep, keeping a close eye on the progress of the pill refining, and finally lived up to his expectations.

During these three days, she had almost exhausted all her energy, but looking at the top-grade Nine-Turn Resurrection Pills in front of her that exuded an attractive luster and contained powerful medicinal properties, all her fatigue turned into a sense of accomplishment.

Ah Cai carefully put the pills into a specially made jade bottle one by one. Every movement was gentle and focused, as if she was treating a rare treasure.

These jade bottles are engraved with mysterious runes, which can preserve the medicinal effects of the elixir to the greatest extent.

As she collected the pills, she was thinking in her mind how to distribute the pills when she met everyone later, and how to tell them how to use them properly.

When Ah Cai pushed open the heavy stone door of the alchemy room, a pungent smell of blood mixed with a faint scent of disinfectant hit her nostrils like a heavy hammer.

The smell of blood was strong and sweet, as if countless lives had been lost here; the smell of disinfectant was cold and sharp, trying to cover up the bloody nature but failing to completely cover it up.

The smell made her frown. As an alchemist, she was extremely sensitive to all kinds of smells, especially the smell of death and violence, which instantly made her nerves tense.

Ah Cai stepped out of the alchemy room and into the sunlight. The dazzling light made her squint subconsciously.

But when she adjusted to the light and took in the scene, her pupils suddenly contracted. The once peaceful and tranquil island now looked as if it had been through a brutal war, completely distorted.

Although the mottled bloodstains on the ground had been roughly cleaned up, dark red marks were still left everywhere, like wounds that would never heal.

Some of the bloodstains were in flake form, while others were long and thin drag marks, as if silently telling the tragic scene of the injured struggling and crawling on the ground.

After the blood dried, the color turned deep and dark red, forming a sharp contrast with the color of the ground, which was particularly shocking.

In the grass, broken branches were lying here and there, and a few broken petals were still stained with blood, swaying gently in the breeze, as if telling of the brutal battle that had happened not long ago.

The once gorgeous flowers have now lost their vitality and beauty. The petals are incomplete and the stamens are crushed, leaving only the broken flower stems trembling in the wind.

Those blood-stained petals, like small tragedies, witnessed everything that happened here.

On the trees not far away, there were deep and shallow sword marks crisscrossing each other, and some of the bark was completely peeled off, revealing the pale wood inside.

There was still some brown sap left in the wound on the tree trunk, which mixed with the blood and looked particularly strange.

Some of the sword marks were straight and sharp, showing the attacker's powerful strength and superb swordsmanship; others were messy, as if left by random slashing in a fierce battle.

The lake, which was originally crystal clear, now became turbid. Various debris were floating on the water, including broken weapons, torn clothes, and several swollen corpses.

The corpse swayed gently with the waves, occasionally revealing a distorted face. The empty eyes and purple complexion were chilling.

The color of the lake water also turned dark red, as if it was stained with blood, emitting a disgusting fishy smell.

Ah Cai's gaze moved slowly across the devastated land. She couldn't imagine what kind of changes had happened on the isolated island, or what kind of powerful enemies had she encountered during the short three days she had been in seclusion refining the elixir, to cause it to become what it was now.

Her mind couldn't help but think of the summoned heroes. Were they also participating in this battle?

Was anyone seriously injured or even killed in this battle?

Thinking of this, Ah Cai felt heartbroken and her pace involuntarily quickened as she ran towards the beach.

Along the way, she saw many destroyed buildings.

Some of the once neatly arranged villas have now been burned down, leaving only a pile of charred debris; others have been overturned to the ground, with the fabric torn into pieces and fluttering in the wind.

The wooden fence was also smashed to pieces, and broken wooden stakes were scattered on the ground, with sharp broken ends as if waiting for the next victim.

When Acai finally ran to the beach, she saw a group of people who looked tired and scarred.

Some of them were sitting on the ground, wrapped in simple bandages, with blood seeping through the bandages, staining a large area red; some were leaning against the wall, their eyes empty and confused, as if they had not yet recovered from the battle; others were busy taking care of the wounded, holding first aid supplies in their hands, their faces full of anxiety and worry.

"What is going on?" Acai rushed into the crowd and asked loudly.

Li Xin, the blood-soaked Qin general, raised his head and saw Ah Cai, forcing a smile. "My Lord, you've found the elixir... We were attacked by interstellar pirates. They came too suddenly, and we were completely unprepared..."

Before he could finish his words, he started coughing due to exhaustion, and blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

Qin General Bai Qi wiped the Zhuxian Sword, "They only managed to get away with a few minions this time, but..."

He raised his head and looked at Ah Cai, "My Lord, hundreds of our Qin soldiers were sacrificed this time, and the ones we recruited might be other people..."

A Cai looked around. The Qin generals who were summoned were at most injured, but this time they suffered a great loss!

Ah Cai quickly ran to Li Xin, took out a jade bottle from her bosom, poured out a [Top Grade Rejuvenation Pill], and handed it to Li Xin's mouth: "Eat this quickly."

Qin general Li Xin looked at the pill in Acai's hand, and swallowed it without hesitation.

As the pill entered his throat, his originally pale face gradually showed a hint of color, and the wounds on his body began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the process of distributing the pills, Ah Cai gradually understood the whole picture of the matter.

It turned out that during the three days when she was in seclusion refining the elixir, in addition to the "Dark Moon Organization", they were also targeted by a group of star pirates.

They were powerful and quick, and launched a fierce attack on the camp as soon as they appeared.

And with everyone's efforts, clues about the black forces gradually surfaced...
