“Now that Sect Master has broken through to the Four Fiend Realm, he will probably come out of seclusion soon. At that time, none of us will have a good time,” Chen Yingfei said worriedly.
“What are you afraid of?! Even if Lin Zhan really broke through, the Gu family still has two Four Fiend Realm Martial Saints. In addition, I’m working with you from the inside. No matter how strong Lin Zhan is, he will die on the spot.”
Killing intent flashed in Shi Mingxiao’s eyes.
“l hope so.” Chen Ying Fei sighed, looking a little unconfident.
Back then, when Lin Zhan used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration
Technique to fight Gu Yuanshun, he was also present. The deterrence Lin Zhan gave him was too strong! If not for Shi Mingxiao repeatedly guaranteeing that Lin Zhan was seriously injured and could not be treated, he would not have dared to betray him.
“Hmph! Whether Lin Zhan really broke through or not is another matter!” Shi Mingxiao sneered.
“You mean…” Chen Yingfei’s expression changed.
“The old Sect Master is my foster brother. No one knows the Lin family’s secret better than me. It’s possible that he didn’t die after using the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique, but it’s definitely impossible for him to recover from his injuries and break through to the Four Fiend Realm!” Shi Mingxiao said in a low voice.
“Then who attacked tonight? The traces left behind at the scene were definitely caused by the Lesser Divine Power!” Chen Yingfei was puzzled.
“Lin Yu has been secretly searching for alchemists for more than half a year. He thought that I didn’t know. Lin Zhan’s injuries must have accumulated to the point of being difficult to recover. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so anxious. Some time ago, he secretly brought back an old man who lived in the courtyard where the battle happened tonight, so…” Shi Mingxiao explained.
“You mean that the person who attacked tonight was not Lin Zhan, but that old man?” Chen Yingfei came to a realization.
Shi Mingxiao was a little speechless. He did not understand why Chen Yingfei only grew muscles and did not have a brain. He said in a low voice,
“That alchemist should have refined some medicinal pill that can relieve his injuries or stimulate his vitality. Tonight might be the last time Lin Zhan annears.”
“I see. Lin Yu is bluffing!” Chen Yingfei understood.
That made sense.
It was indeed Lin Zhan who attacked, but he probably attacked forcefully. In order to intimidate everyone, he used his last bit of strength to create the illusion that his strength had improved greatly.
“No matter what, I underestimated Lin Yu previously. He really found a middle-grade alchemist. Go and investigate the background of that alchemist. When necessary, we will…” Shi Mingxiao placed his hand on his neck and made a cutting motion.
“Don’t worry. Leave this to me.” Chen Yingfei smiled casually. This matter was simple.
“Go and prepare. Be quiet for the next period of time and wait for the Gu family’s reply. The next time you attack, it will definitely be a thunderous strike!” Shi Mingxiao instructed.
“Alright!” Chen Yingfei left the room.
In the empty room, Shi Mingxiao muttered softly.
“Brother, don’t blame me. The Soul Nurturing Wood won’t be of much use to
Lin Yu. Why don’t you leave it to me? I’ll definitely bring the Heavenly Demon Sect to greater heights!’
Ten days after the night attack, the Heavenly Demon Sect was still investigating the traitor, but they found nothing.
After Han Zhao changed rooms, Lin Yu stayed in the room opposite him. He said that he wanted to protect him to prevent anyone from disturbing his pill refinement.
Han Zhao knew what he was thinking, but he didn’t expose him.
In any case, as long as he paid more, Han Zhao was willing to fight even a Martial Saint at the Five Fiend Realm.
” Pfft! ”
In the room, a purple-gold three-legged pill furnace floated in the air. As Han Zhao continuously injected fire-element Astral Qi, the temperature in the pill furnace rose rapidly. When the temperature reached the peak, a muffled sound suddenly came from the pill furnace. Then, wisps of white mist seeped out.
The room was quickly enveloped by a rich medicinal fragrance. Seeing this, Han Zhao waved his sleeve, and his true qi stirred up wisps of wind that gathered the white mist.
“Great! That’s great!”
Han Zhao opened the pill furnace with his true qi and looked at the three round and plump milky-white pills inside with a happy expression.
One Essence Replenishing Zoysia, one Rank 3 demon beast core comparable to a Three Fiend Realm Martial Saint, and other supplementary ingredients were only enough to refine at most ten batches of Essence Replenishment Void Returning Pills. Han Zhao failed four batches in a row and finally succeeded in the fifth batch.
Moreover, among the three pills, one was low-grade, and the other two were middle-grade.
“This is only me. If it were any other high-grade alchemist, they wouldn’t have succeeded so quickly.” Han Zhao was extremely happy.
“Again!’
Han Zhao skillfully threw in various medicinal herbs. When the medicinal power of one medicinal herb was tempered by the furnace fire to the limit, he threw in the next medicinal herb.
Just like that, he practiced alchemy from the afternoon until late at night. Finally, he used up the remaining five sets of medicinal herbs.
Of the remaining five cauldrons of medicinal pills, four were successful and one was unsuccessful.
He refined a total of five furnaces of Essence Replenishment Void Returning Pills. There were a total of 17 pills. Five were low-grade, eight were middle-grade, three were high-grade, and one was top-grade.
After putting away the pill furnace, Han Zhao took out a low-grade Essence Replenishment Void Returning Pill and swallowed it. A powerful medicinal power rose from his small abdomen and quickly flowed in his hundred meridians. Finally, it gathered in his Heavenly Vein. The two Heavenly Veins that Han Zhao had condensed became more solid and his foundation became deeper.
The blood qi in his body surged like waves, growing stronger over and over again.
At the same time, Han Zhao’s white hair which had not recovered for a long time finally returned to its original black and beautiful appearance.
“The medicinal power of this Essence Replenishment Void Returning Pill is stronger than I expected.”
Han Zhao’s eyes lit up. In that case, he could start cultivating the Three Spirit Divine Transformation Technique. The earlier he condensed two clones, the faster his cultivation speed would increase..
