In the middle of the square, the old man opened his eyes.
He looked at Yi Hao not far away.
Speaking slowly: "Yi Patriarch, right now I'm refining a peak fifth grade Crossing Body Pill, I only have a 70% chance of success. If I fail, it's not my responsibility!"
"That's right, Old Cao is already being generous to help, if it fails, then it's just not meant for me, Yi Hao!"
Yi Hao spoke at this time.
Refining a fifth grade pill is very difficult in itself.
Not to mention a peak fifth grade pill.
To refine it successfully is very difficult, even sixth grade alchemists, some don't dare to say they can refine a peak fifth grade pill with 100% success.
There is always some failure rate.
And once it fails, the materials are wasted, and the alchemist is not responsible, the payment must still be given.
"Crossing Body Pill?"
Su Tong was also curious at this time.
He had heard of this pill, it can heal some hard to treat latent illnesses and old injuries.
It also has a detoxifying effect.
It is an extremely powerful healing medicine.
The difficulty in refining it can be imagined.
To reach peak fifth grade in healing medicines, it is definitely top tier.
"Just how serious are Yi Patriarch's injuries that he needs such a high grade pill!"
Su Tong was also a little curious.
But he didn't directly ask.
At this time, Old Cao in the middle of the square had prepared everything.
He condensed a ball of green flames with both hands.
With one look Su Tong knew it was a kind of beast fire.
At this time, everyone around was quietly watching.
Watching Old Cao refine pills.
Disciples who understood watched closely to gain insight.
After all, in such a huge sect, there would always be some disciples who understood pill refining.
This was also one of the reasons Yi Hao arranged for everyone to come and observe.
Another reason was because Old Cao said this peak fifth grade pill would attract some anomalies between heaven and earth, so it needed to be done in this square.
Other disciples who didn't understand also came to watch the commotion.
At this time, Old Cao directly threw the materials into the pill furnace one by one.
Powerful spiritual power wrapped around those materials.
Although refining a peak fifth grade pill, extracting the materials wasn't that difficult.
Except for a few materials, even a first grade alchemist could extract the others.
Extracting was a long process.
It took a full half a day before Old Cao finished extracting all the materials.
After all there were over a hundred types of materials.
After extracting everything, Old Cao didn't hurry to fuse them.
He took a pill first, then sat down to rest.
After about an hour, Old Cao slowly opened his eyes again.
Then continued refining the pill.
Extracting materials was the simplest step.
Fusing all the materials together was very difficult.
Because each material had different medicinal properties.
So the order was also different.
Some medicines were mutually repulsive, so more medicine was needed to neutralize them.
These materials fusing together took a very long time to consume.
Another half a day passed, it was night now.
But no one left.
For cultivators, going days without food or sleep was no problem at all.
At this time in the pill furnace, only about half the medicinal liquid and powders were fused.
It looked like it would take several more days to refine this pill.
"As expected, refining a peak fifth grade pill is not so simple!"
Su Tong thought to himself.
For Su Tong, refining a peak fifth grade pill was not something he could do yet.
Because Su Tong had never tried.
But his spiritual power was strong enough that he could at least attempt it.
As Su Tong expected, this peak fifth grade pill took a full seven days to refine.
Only after seven days were all the medicinal liquids and powders fused together.
Slowly taking the shape of a pill.
"Success!"
Yi YuXin beside Su Tong was also excited.
Although she couldn't see inside the pill furnace clearly, she could see the pill slowly taking shape.
After all this concerned her father's injuries.
"Yes, it's reached the final step!"
Su Tong nodded.
Indeed it had reached the final step of pill formation.
But this last step was extremely difficult, sometimes causing pill refining to fail.
Failure didn't happen in the earlier steps, but in this last step of pill formation.
This seemingly simplest step was actually the most difficult.
"That's great!"
Yi YuXin also quickly nodded and said.
Su Tong looked at Old Cao in the square, his brows furrowed slightly.
Because he saw Old Cao's face was very pale.
It seems refining this peak fifth grade pill was still very difficult for Old Cao.
"Hope he can persist until the end!"
Su Tong thought to himself.
Yi Hao's face also showed joy.
If this pill could be refined successfully, his injuries could recover.
Phantom Rain Sect being able to stand in Tianhu City and become one of the five major powers, one of the four major sects, was all due to Patriarch Yi Hao's strength.
Now with Yi Hao's old injuries recurring, it was a major blow to the entire Phantom Rain Sect.
The other sects were eyeing like tigers watching prey.
Even for Phantom Rain Sect, collecting and refining the materials for the Crossing Body Pill took a lot of time.
So if it failed this time, the other three sects would probably make a move on Phantom Rain Sect.
Although destroying Phantom Rain Sect all at once was unlikely, it would greatly reduce Phantom Rain Sect's power.
Then it would only be a matter of time before they were annexed and divided up.
"Pfft!"
At this moment, Old Cao suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood.
His whole body collapsed.
"Old Cao!"
Seeing Old Cao collapse, Yi Hao hurriedly went up.
Yi YuXin, Su Tong and the others also rushed up in a panic.
"I'm sorry...I tried my best!"
Old Cao shook his head helplessly.
At this time, his spiritual power was completely exhausted.
He simply couldn't persist in refining any longer.
"Pfft!"
Hearing Old Cao's words, Yi Hao also spit out a mouthful of blood.
Then staggered back repeatedly, almost falling down.
"Father!"
"Patriarch!"
Everyone hurriedly ran over.
"Could it be... heaven wants to destroy me?"
Yi Hao lamented helplessly.
Hearing this, the people around changed expressions.
If Yi Hao collapsed, Phantom Rain Sect would truly be finished.
At this time, Su Tong's brows furrowed slightly.
After hesitating for a moment, a powerful spiritual power suddenly erupted!
ap a wealthy young lady? Or else I'll be eliminated by the system? Ye Feng, who awakened the Kidnapper System, originally wanted to live a peaceful life but never imagined he would become a kidnapper of young women. However, after some time, he discovered that all the girls the system ordered him to kidnap were far from ordinary. "Big brother Ye Feng~ You've kidnapped my heart, and now you're not allowed to leave me ever again~" "Ye Feng~ You kidnapped me back then, now it's my turn to capture you♡" "Little Feng, you're mine! You can only be mine!" "Ye Feng, none of them deserve you. Only I love you the most♡" ... This is madness, they've all gone mad! Wait, what? Why are all the girls I kidnapped yanderes?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
young master of the Shen family—a figure of immense power and wealth beyond measure—and awakened the "Destined Ultimate Villain System"! His starting scenario? Running into his icy fiancée who shows up with a mountain-descending divine doctor to break off their engagement. The divine doctor arrogantly taunts: "What does your Shen family have besides a bit of stinking money? You're not even worthy of tying Qingxue's shoelaces!" Shen Fei just smiled. He completely defied the usual script: "Fine, I agree to break off the engagement. Also, notify the finance department to withdraw all investments from the Su family." Minutes later, with its capital chain severed, the Su Group teetered on the brink of bankruptcy! The once aloof and proud ice queen CEO was thrown into utter panic. That very night, she went to Shen Fei's villa, casting aside all dignity to beg and plead desperately... From then on, in this world teeming with Sons of Destiny, Shen Fei embarked on a path of extreme dimensional suppression! A mountain-descending divine doctor? Peerless medical skills? Shen Fei: "Reporting you for practicing medicine without a license! I'll gladly take your ancient medicinal cauldron and twin sister assassins." The Crooked-Smiling Dragon King? Commanding a hundred thousand soldiers with a single order? Shen Fei: "Illegal assembly and suspected treason! Let a fleet of attack helicopters sanitize the area and teach you what the state apparatus really means!" A reborn tycoon? Knows all the golden opportunities of the next decade? Shen Fei: "A trillion in capital to reverse and pump the stock market, making you blow your margin and jump on the very first day of your rebirth!" What Chosen Ones? What bearers of Heavenly Fortune? In Shen Fei's eyes, they're all just chives (i.e., suckers/marks) waiting to be harvested! Shen Fei: "Sorry, but as the Destined Ultimate Villain, I don't play by the rules of honor. I only play the game of dimensional suppression."
