Chapter 835: Chapter 833 The Great Battle is Imminent

"I remember the key to the Vermilion Bird Treasure Vault is also in his possession, isn’t it?"

"You should have killed him and taken back the key when you went to the Famous Sword Manor in the first place, but you failed."

The Saint stared at the Saintess with a faintly mocking smile.

Seeing the mocking smile on the Saint’s face, the Saintess spoke in a calm and serious tone, "He was too strong at that time. In that state, he was like a god, invincible to all!"

"It wasn’t just me who lost to him; Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, Feng Yunxiu, Young Master Yishan, and the eighteen Sword Masters of the Famous Sword Manor combined couldn’t withstand his sword!"

The Saintess said in a cold voice.

The Saint coldly said, "Stop making excuses for your failure. You should never have been sent in the first place. If I had gone, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to leave the Famous Sword Manor alive!"

The Saintess sneered with disdain, her eyes lost in memory, recalling the awe-inspiring, cloud-piercing manner of Lin Bai in the struggle for the title of Dongling First Sword Cultivator, an image that was still hard for the Saintess to forget.

The Saintess could hardly believe that there was such an outstanding Sword Cultivator in the world.

The Saint said coldly, "It just so happens that I have arrived at Elixir King City today, and the grudge between Lin Bai and our Five Poison Sect can finally be settled. Additionally, it’s time to take back what belongs to us."

At this moment, Zhang Pengyi spoke, "The Saint is right, especially since Lin Bai can refine the Life Extension Divine Pill and cure the Snake Heart Poison, which is definitely not good news for our Five Poison Sect."

The Saint said, "Exactly, the Snake Heart Poison is very important to our Five Poison Sect. If someone outside of our sect learns how to refine the Life Extension Divine Pill and can neutralize the Snake Heart Poison, then they must die!"

"Zhang Pengyi, prepare the Qilin Smoke. We’ll attack the He Family tonight!"

The Saint suggested.

Upon hearing this, the Saintess immediately frowned and said, "You’re going to start a war with the He Family?"

The Saint laughed, "What’s the matter? Does the Saintess think that the Scorpio Branch of the mighty Five Poison Sect can’t even take down a measly He Family?"

Speaking calmly, the Saintess said, "That’s not what I mean. Even if the Incense Master and Branch Master of the Scorpio Branch are not in Elixir King City, with the strength of the branch, taking down the He Family would be effortless."

"However, Saint, if you start a war with the He Family, wouldn’t the commotion be a bit too great? It might attract the attention of Miracle Ridge."

"Attracting the attention of Miracle Ridge is not good for us right now."

"After all, we still need time to prepare for the Holy War!"

The Saintess continued with a reminder.

The Saint laughed heartily, "Your Highness, the Saintess, conquering major powers in Dongling is my mission, and you, you just need to complete the tasks on Miracle Ridge."

"As for Elixir King City, I must take it today!"

"Zhang Pengyi, prepare the Qilin Smoke, and also gather all the experts from the Scorpio Branch within Elixir King City who are at the Half-step Divine Pill Realm or above!"

"In one hour, we will strike at the He Family, and I, this Saint, will uproot the He Family within one hour! Not a single person from the He Family shall be spared!"

The Saint slapped the table decisively, his eyes flickering with murderous intent.

The Saintess sat quietly on the side, silent and her gaze devoid of any emotional fluctuations.

...

Underground Palace of the He Family.

Gu Yueqing skillfully tossed the Spiritual Medicine for the Nirvana Pill into the Red Sun Cauldron, and with Lin Bai offering guidance by her side, the Nirvana Pill was completed in just one hour.

Gu Yueqing was sweating profusely, yet she spoke with a smile on her face, "This is the Nirvana Pill. Go give it to your father, Mr. He. According to what Lin Bai said, Grandpa He should wake up after taking it, but for a full recovery, it still requires one to three days."

He Yunfei, overwhelmed with excitement, accepted the Elixir Pill and gratefully said, "Miss Gu Yueqing, Brother Lin Bai, I can’t thank you enough."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Brother He, there’s no need for such formalities. Since the Nirvana Pill has already been refined, could you please afford Gu Yueqing and me some quiet time? I estimate it will only take about an hour!"

"I am going to refine a batch of Elixir Pills!"

Lin Bai said to He Yunfei.

If the Nirvana Pill had been successfully refined, and the Spiritual Medicine for the Heaven Repairing Pill had also been collected, Lin Bai was now impatient to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill, repair his Dantian, and recover his Cultivation.

He Yunfei smiled and said, "That is, of course, possible. Then I’ll leave the two of you be."

"Please do!"

He Yunfei, holding the Elixir Pills, hurriedly left the Underground Palace.

When He Yunfei left, he withdrew all the guards from the Underground Palace, and at the same time, Lin Bai sealed the Stone Door of the Meditation Room.

Gu Yueqing looked on excitedly at Lin Bai; she knew he was about to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill.

This was a King-Level Elixir! Across the entire Territories of all nations, let alone the East Continent, there were only a handful of Alchemists who could refine King-Level Elixir Pills.

If Gu Yueqing could refine a King-Level Elixir, even with Lin Bai’s guidance, it would greatly assist her future practice of the Dan Dao.

"You should recover first; refining the Nirvana Pill just now consumed too much of your Spiritual Power and physical strength."

"In a quarter of an hour, we will begin refining the Heaven Repairing Pill!"

Seeing Gu Yueqing’s impatient and excited demeanor, Lin Bai couldn’t help but smile and said.

"Okay!" Gu Yueqing didn’t say much and immediately sat down crossed-legged to regulate her Spiritual Power.

As Lin Bai had said, refining the Nirvana Pill just then had drained too much Spiritual Power. If she were to hastily begin refining the Heaven Repairing Pill now, it would likely fail due to insufficient Spiritual Power.

During the time Gu Yueqing was recovering her Spiritual Power, Lin Bai took out all the Spiritual Medicine needed to refine the Heaven Repairing Pill and arranged them neatly on the ground.

An hour later, Gu Yueqing, looking rejuvenated, opened her Eyes and looked toward Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled and asked, "Have you recovered?"

Gu Yueqing nodded seriously.

Lin Bai said, "Then let’s get started."

Gu Yueqing said, "Brother Lin, when it comes to refining King-Level Elixir Pills..."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I know what you want to say, don’t worry, I’m here with you."

"Just follow my instructions, and there shouldn’t be any major problems in refining the Heaven Repairing Pill."

Hearing such confidence from Lin Bai, Gu Yueqing smiled gratefully and said, "Brother Lin, thank you for giving me this opportunity to help you refine the Heaven Repairing Pill!"

"For an Alchemist, to touch upon a King-Level Elixir is a great fortune already, and now I even have the chance to refine one myself. This will absolutely be of enormous help for my future practice in Dan Dao!"

Lin Bai chuckled and said, "That’s right. If you can refine this King-Level Elixir, surpassing your Master and becoming a Ninth-grade Alchemy Master will be an easy feat."

Gu Yueqing nodded seriously: "So, Lin Bai, what do we do first?"

Lin Bai said, "Take out your Flourishing Lotus Flame first, to heat the cauldron..."

"Okay!"

Gu Yueqing responded and began to control the Flourishing Lotus Flame to fall beneath the Red Sun Cauldron.
