The Calm Before The Storm

1Yan Hua and the others did not know what kind of obstacle He Qingyuan had encountered. They gathered people to prepare for the pill refinement. He gathered all those with high cultivation and strength.1

"A thousand days of training is done for a moment. Now, the City Lord has reached the moment of life and death. It's time for everyone to truly put in their effort."

The moment he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. Ren Zeyuan and the others had always claimed that the City Lord was suffering from a strange illness and needed treatment.

Even though they had entered the City Lord's mansion and faced all sorts of measures, all sorts of strict guards, signed a contract, and even ended up here, there were still all sorts of strange things about the changes in the City Lord's Estate. Intelligent people already had a guess in their hearts, but when they really heard it, they couldn't help but feel a little shocked.

Among them, Lin Bai was the calmest. After all, he had long guessed that Yan Hua and the others would no longer hide it and would directly announce it. It was probably because the City Lord's condition had worsened and there was no longer any way to control it, so he had no choice but to announce it.

At the same time, many people's thoughts began to move. The City Lord was in trouble, which meant that they had a greater chance of making a contribution.

"May I ask Elder Yan, what can we do for the City Lord?"

"Don't worry, everyone. President He has already rushed here to treat the City Lord together with the Vice City Lord. What we need to do is to refine pills."

"The pills we refined previously were just ordinary ones. They can barely suppress the poisonous gas in the City Lord's body. This time, we are going to refine ninth-grade detoxification pills."

Although Yan Hua and the others chose to announce the truth, they still hid part of their true thoughts in order to avoid causing chaos or being discovered by some people with ulterior motives.

For example, the City Lord was not poisoned, and there was no poison gas in his body. The pills they refined were indeed ninth-grade, but they were not detoxification pills.

However, the real pill formula was in their hands. Moreover, very few people knew about this kind of pill, and it was easy to confuse the detoxification pill with it. If they did not say it, who would know.

Everyone looked at each other. One had to know that a ninth-grade pill was not something that an ordinary person could refine. At their current level, it was impossible for them to refine it.

"How can we help elder Yan with this ninth-grade pill?"

"You don't know that this is a pill formula passed down from ancient times. The pill refining method is different from the others. It requires ninety-nine types of small medicinal pills. These medicinal pills are special medicinal ingredients. Then, they are mixed with the core medicinal ingredients. Finally, they are refined together into one.

This kind of pill refinement method was simply unheard of. There was actually a need to refine ninety-nine types of medicinal pills to serve as medicinal ingredients. There were only a few dozen people present.

Fortunately, they were all veterans and were not novice apprentices. The speed at which they refined medicinal pills was not slow. It was likely that they only needed to spend a little more time and effort.

"However, everyone must not be careless. This process is complicated. If there is even the slightest mistake, the effort will be wasted in the end, resulting in errors in the fusion."

Refining medicinal pills was a trivial matter to begin with. Furthermore, they had to refine ninety-nine medicinal pills. In the end, they had to agree while reserving their differences. This kind of requirement could be said to be extremely harsh. For a moment, everyone did not dare to be careless.

"Moreover, we only have one set of core medicinal ingredients. There is no second chance at all. Therefore, everyone must remember that we only have one chance, and we must succeed!"

This ancient recipe was too unorthodox. Regardless of whether it was the requirements or the medicinal ingredients, they were all strict. Some of the medicinal ingredients had to be painstakingly gathered. For example, there was not a second inner core of the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf.

"During the process of refining the medicinal pills, I and a few other elders will always be on guard."

Yan Hua's face was solemn as he exhorted everyone. Everyone felt an invisible pressure weighing heavily on their shoulders. If anything went wrong in their segment, they would be condemned to eternal damnation.

On the other hand, Lin Bai was deep in thought. He was naturally confident, but he did not expect that the pill refining method would be so strange.

However, the only thing worth rejoicing about was that some of the small pills they refined were similar to the pills they usually made to suppress the City Lord's illness. It was just that they added a few more steps and medicinal ingredients and slightly changed the pill formula. The difference was not big.

It turned out that Yan Hua and the others had long known that such a day would come. In order to prevent everyone from being at a loss and fighting a chaotic war in a panic, they had delved into the formula. That was why they had extracted the medicine from the ancient pill formula to temporarily suppress the City Lord's illness. In the future, when the ingredients were complete and the time was ripe, they could refine it according to the pill formula.

Otherwise, how could an ordinary pill formula have the effect of suppressing the City Lord's illness.

Only then did everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Although there were still parts of the process that were not the same, there was no need to change the ingredients. As long as they carefully operated and controlled every step, coupled with Yan Hua and the others watching from the side, there should not be too much of a problem.

However, in this case, everyone did not dare to let down their guard. After all, there was only one chance. If they were careless and added more or less things, it would result in total loss.

Very soon, everyone was assigned tasks, including Lin Bai. They began to refine pills methodically from their positions. Finally, it was time for Yan Hua and the others to take action. Therefore, they were only in charge of supervising everyone and the situation of the pills.

"I wonder if everything is going well with the Vice City Lord and the others."

It was strange. The deep part of the cave was quiet. Yan Yan Hua sent people to check it out, but the people who sent the news did not find anything unusual. It seemed that everything was peaceful.

The person beside him comforted him, "If there's no movement, then everything must be going well. The City Lord might already be undergoing purification."

However, it was this silence that was a little strange. Yan Hua suppressed the uneasy feeling in his heart.
