Chapter 223: Misty Cloud Sect Deliberations

After a few more days passed, Xiao Ming walked out of the secret room with a jade bottle containing the refined Mighty Huang Pill.

"Xiao Ming, you're finally out!" When Zi Yan saw him, she ran to him with great joy and was received by him in his arms. Xiao Ming then nodded to Hai Bodong, who had been waiting behind her.

"Ice Emperor, you seem to have a lot of free time today," said Xiao Ming with a smile.

"Hehe, it's true that there's not much to do," replied Hai Bodong, smiling awkwardly. He didn't mention that he had been visiting the Xiao family while Xiao Ming was refining his pills.

With excitement, Hai Bodong asked, "Since you have come out of seclusion, Master Xiao Ming, then those pills of mine... hehehe."

"Oh, here are your pills," replied Xiao Ming, extending his hand with two jade bottles that appeared with a flash of white light.

As soon as the jade bottles appeared, the faint fragrance of the pills silently filled the entire room, Hai Bodong's spirit shuddered as he smelled them and hurriedly accepted the pills into Xiao Ming's hand.

"Hahaha, thank you, Master Xiao Ming. Your kindness today will never be forgotten by me, Hai Bodong," said Hai Bodong, his face beaming with delight.

Xiao Ming smiled slightly and said, "Just remember the agreement we made, Ice Emperor."

"Definitely, definitely," replied Hai Bodong with a nod.

"In that case, I won't keep you any longer. I'm sure you're eager to take the pills now," said Xiao Ming.

"Haha, you're right, Master Xiao Ming. I'm very eager to feel the effects of these pills. I will say goodbye now and apologize to you next time, Master," replied Hai Bodong before quickly leaving the room.

...

"There are still some left," one of the Elders replied, "but the pills that Elder Gu He has refined don't seem to be very effective."

Gu He had naturally saved up some sixth-tier pills over the years that he had been with the Misty Cloud Sect, although these pills were not considered high-grade among sixth-tier pills and there weren't many of them. After being injured, he had taken some of these pills but found that they had little effect.

This was because there was a special energy in his wounds that was devouring the energy of the healing pills to strengthen itself. In the past, this type of wound wouldn't have been too difficult to heal with the help of some special pills.

But one had to know that not everyone had a Heavenly Flame to shorten the time to refine pills, the time needed to refine a sixth-tier pill was extremely long. If in the past, refining a sixth-tier pill was not an easy task for him as a Dou King, now that he was severely injured, it would be even more difficult to refine it.

Looking at Gu He's weakened condition, Yun Yun remained deep in thought for a long time before finally saying, "Master Xiao Ming of the Xiao Clan is currently in the nearby Jia Ma Sacred City. He may be able to provide a solution."

Upon hearing the mention of Xiao Ming, the Elders of the Misty Cloud Sect looked at each other, they were well aware of the reputation of the first genius of the Jia Ma Empire. He was a fifteen-year-old Dou Emperor powerhouse and a sixth-tier alchemist, these titles had long since numbed their ears.

"If Master Xiao Ming takes action, he may be able to cure Elder Gu He's condition," one of the Elders said.

"We can invite him, but we need to be courteous and show proper respect. We also need to bring appropriate gifts and not leave a bad impression on him. Who should we send to invite him?" asked another Elder.

The Elders began to discuss the matter among themselves, but Yun Yun abruptly interrupted them, "Silence! You are all Elders of the same Sect, there is no need for such commotion!"

At Yun Yun's scolding, the Elders quieted down.

After fixing her hair, Yun Yun then spoke seriously, "I will personally go to speak with him. It just so happens that I can also thank him again for saving my life the last time."

At the prospect of Yun Yun, the Sect Leader, personally inviting the other party, there were no Elders who felt that anything was amiss. Given Xiao Ming's position and strength, it was indeed appropriate for Yun Yun, the Sect Leader, to make the invitation.

"And do not give up on finding clues about the black-robed individual who attacked Elder Gu He. That is all for today," Yun Yun concluded.
