Chapter 2368: Infiltrate (2)



The next morning, Yun Lintian reported to the Alchemy Hall, a vast and cavernous chamber filled with the sounds of bubbling cauldrons and the pungent aroma of exotic herbs. Alchemists of various ranks were busy at work, their faces etched with concentration as they meticulously crafted their elixirs.

Yun Lintian was assigned to a junior alchemist, a middle-aged man with a perpetually furrowed brow. The alchemist, whose name was Elder Li, handed him a list of ingredients and instructions for refining a basic healing potion.

"This is a simple task," Elder Li said gruffly. "But it will test your understanding of the fundamentals. Pay close attention to the proportions and the sequence of steps. Any mistakes could ruin the entire batch."

Yun Lintian nodded obediently, his expression carefully masking his true thoughts. He took the ingredients and began the refining process, his movements practiced and efficient.

As he worked, his spiritual sense continued to probe the surroundings, searching for any clues about the secret dungeon.

While refining the potion, Yun Lintian noticed a group of young men and women being led into a separate chamber. They were dressed in plain robes, their faces pale and gaunt. Their eyes were filled with fear and resignation.

Yun Lintian's heart sank. He recognized them as "medicine boys," individuals who were forced to consume experimental pills and elixirs, their bodies serving as testing grounds for the alchemists' creations.

He watched in horror as the medicine boys were lined up and given vials of brightly colored liquids. They swallowed the liquids obediently, their bodies convulsing as the potent concoctions took effect. Some of them screamed in agony, their faces contorted in pain. Others collapsed to the ground, their bodies wracked with tremors.

Yun Lintian felt a surge of anger and disgust. These alchemists were playing with human lives, treating them as nothing more than expendable tools.

He continued refining the potion, his focus divided between his task and his growing sense of outrage. He completed the potion successfully, earning a grunt of approval from Elder Li.

"Not bad for a beginner," the alchemist said. "But don't get complacent. There's much more to learn."

Yun Lintian nodded, his mind already racing with plans. He had to find a way to access the secret dungeon.

As the day wore on, Yun Lintian continued his work in the Alchemy Hall, refining potions and elixirs with practiced ease. He carefully observed the alchemists around him, noting their habits, their routines, and the security measures in place. He paid particular attention to the secluded wing of the palace, where he knew the secret dungeon was located.

Yun Lintian approached their cages, his eyes scanning the intricate locks and formations that held them captive. With a surge of divine energy, he shattered the locks, the iron bars bending and twisting under his immense power.

Master Bai and Yang Chen stumbled out of their cages, their legs weak and unsteady. Yun Lintian supported them and quickly removed the seals on their Divine Cores.

At the same time, he gently replenished their vitality with the power of the Tree of Life. The warm current ruthlessly dispelled all the toxins that had accumulated from their long-term

pill-taking.

"I owe you again, Yun Boy." Master Bai's complexion improved visibly. "Did you tell Huian

about this?"

"No," Yun Lintian shook his head.

Master Bai breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where's Ouyang Feng?" Yun Lintian asked.

"He was taken away by True God Xuanming. I don't know where they are right now." Master

Bai replied with a hint of concern.

"Well, let's leave first." Yun Lintian nodded slightly.

"What about these people, Brother Yun?" Yang Chen asked.

"Let me handle it." Yun Lintian's eyes flickered with murderous intent.
