What surprised Billy and the others was that before long, the dark patterns on the furnace wall gradually turned blue, shining even more brightly than before.
As time passed, two hours flew by in the blink of an eye.
The temperature in the room had risen to the extreme, causing beads of sweat the size of soybeans to form on the foreheads of the three, their clothes already drenched in sweat.
At the same time, a refreshing scent of elixir wafted out of the alchemy furnace.
Just from the smell, one could tell that the quality of the pills refined this time surpassed the sovereign grade pills refined before by a level.
After a while, Billy let out a heavy sigh, withdrawing his hand.
“Boss, is it done?” Stout asked.
“It should be about done!” Billy replied with a faint smile after catching his breath.
“I’ll take a look!” Stout’s eyes lit up.
Soon after, four high-grade Elemental Pills were placed in front of Billy and Ivy.
“Billy, it’s really done!” Ivy released her spiritual power to inspect the quality of the pills, a hint of joy flashing across her face.
“Good!” Billy nodded.
Indeed, he had succeeded; these four Elemental Pills were truly divine grade pills!
“Wow, Boss, you’re really amazing!” Stout smacked his lips. “I bet if I took one of these pills, my power would definitely increase by a level!”
“Once your injuries are completely healed, try it and you’ll see!” Billy smiled again.
“Okay!” Stout nodded vigorously.
After a brief pause, he continued, “Boss, since you can refine divine grade pills, why not just go ahead and refine eight hundred of them in one go?”
“Dream on!” Ivy gave him a disdainful look.
“Do you think refining divine grade pills is that easy? Billy has depleted a good portion of his Chi power just refining these four pills.”
“And the materials for divine grade pills aren’t easy to come by either.”
“Hehe, just kidding…” Stout grinned.
“Stout, when you have time, gather more materials, and we’ll start the furnace again in a while!” Billy instructed Stout.
“Got it!” Stout nodded again.
“Honey, do you have anything planned for today?”
The next morning, Billy was meditating in the pavilion when Harleen approached.
“I don’t have anything planned, why?” Billy asked.
“If you have nothing planned, how about accompanying me for a stroll in the streets?” Harleen smiled.
“Honey, are you afraid I’ll be too bored at home?” Billy smiled faintly. “Don’t worry, I’m fine!”
Harleen knew what he was thinking.
Since the incident a month ago, apart from occasionally going out to heal the wounds of the Skydragon Dark Guards, he had basically been staying at home.
In this month, he had been incredibly heavy-hearted.
Two hundred Skydragon Dark Guards had been killed by warriors of Rainbow Moon Empire, the most casualties his subordinates had suffered since he left the battlefield.
And most importantly, this was all because of him.
If he hadn’t had so much enmity with the Rainbow Moon Empire, this wouldn’t have happened, and two hundred Skydragon Dark Guards wouldn’t have lost their lives.
Furthermore, there hadn’t been any information about Millennium Phoenix Feather Fruit, and Frostblade remained in a coma.
So, for this past month, he rarely smiled, his face always tense.
During this time, not only Harleen, but also Casey and Ivy, were trying to find ways to distract him in order to help him move on from the situation sooner.
“No, I just really want to go out for a walk. I’ve been in Skydragon City for so long and haven’t really taken the time to explore! Plus, I need to buy some daily necessities.”
“Honey, if you really want to go shopping, then I’ll accompany you,” Billy responded with a faint smile.
“Thank you, honey!” Harleen smiled happily.
Then, the couple walked hand in hand towards the busy city center. Along the way, many people greeted them with respect, as they were becoming more well-known in Skydragon City.
People in Skydragon City knew that there were several beautiful women living in the northern mansion. Among the most beautiful were Harleen and Ivy, both of whom were considered super beauties in the city.
Harleen suddenly spoke up, “Honey, don’t worry too much about Frostblade’s situation! If necessary, we can go find the old master, he must have a solution!”
“Okay,” Billy nodded, knowing that seeking the old master’s help was their last resort.
“Honey, I feel like you know more people than I do,” Billy chuckled after a while.
Harleen laughed, “Well, you don’t usually go out much, so of course fewer people know you!”
As they walked, Billy teased, “You don’t seem to go out much either, right?”
Harleen playfully replied, “Because I’m a great beauty. Naturally, more people know me than know you!”
“Just like Ivy, I’m sure more people know her than you,” she added.
“Alright,” Billy smirked.
“Honey, do you remember the princess from the Ice Cloud Empire?” Harleen suddenly asked as they walked.
“Mya Richards?” Billy blinked, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
“She likes you,” Harleen said casually.
Billy coughed, surprised. “Honey, I’ve only met her twice. How do you know she likes me from just a few interactions?”
“From the way she looks at you,” Harleen explained. “If a woman looks at a man like that, she definitely has feelings for him!”
Billy was taken aback, “Honey, you’re overthinking it!”
“You’re not a woman, you don’t understand,” Harleen interrupted. “I’m telling you, she likes you.”
“Honey, you’re imagining things,” Billy tried to change the subject. “Where do you want to go shopping?”
Harleen laughed, “Maybe next time you meet her, you’ll believe me. Felicia told me about a new shopping street near the central square, let’s go check it out.”
“Sounds good,” Billy agreed with a smile.
