Chapter 841: Chapter 839: Corrosive Heavenly Poison

Lin Bai stood behind Gu Yueqing, silently watching the Heaven Repairing Pill slowly take shape.

At this time, Grandpa He and He Yunfei quietly walked into the Meditation Room.

Inside the Meditation Room, the air was thick with the fragrance of medicine.

Grandpa He looked towards the Red Sun Cauldron and Gu Yueqing, his eyes suddenly widening as he exclaimed, "This is! The fragrance of a King-Level Elixir!"

He Yunfei cried out in alarm, "Father, this elixir is..."

"Shh!"

"Silence!"

"The elixir is about to take form now; we cannot disturb Miss Gu Yueqing."

"Moreover, Miss Gu Yueqing has now linked her mind with the Elixir Furnace, achieving unity between human and vessel. If she is disturbed, not only will the alchemy fail, but it’s also very likely that Miss Gu Yueqing would be backlashed and could perish as a result!"

Grandpa He tiptoed to Lin Bai’s side, almost making no sound.

Even as the two of them lifted and set their feet, they were extremely careful, afraid that even the tiniest noise might affect Gu Yueqing.

Seeing Grandpa He approaching, Lin Bai asked, "Is everything taken care of outside?"

Grandpa He replied, "Don’t worry, we should be able to hold out for half a month until reinforcements from Miracle Ridge arrive!"

"That’s good."

Lin Bai nodded.

He Yunfei, at this moment, was staring intently at Gu Yueqing and the Red Sun Cauldron, saying, "Brother Lin, you mentioned before asking Miss Gu Yueqing to refine a batch of elixirs for you. Is the King-Level Elixir in the cauldron the one you were talking about?"

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Hiss—

Upon seeing Lin Bai nod, both Grandpa He and He Yunfei’s eyes filled with shock, and they both gasped in astonishment.

King-Level Elixirs, ah!

To say nothing of refining a King-Level Elixir, even the appearance of a recipe for a King-Level Elixir within the Territories of all nations would be enough to cause a bloodbath. Especially for those Dan Dao sects, they would fight to the bitter end to seize such a recipe.

Time passed bit by bit.

Three hours later, the Heaven Repairing Pill in the Red Sun Cauldron finally showed signs of completion.

"It’s going to be completed!"

"A King-Level Elixir is about to be finished!"

"My heavens! Is the Territories about to witness the rise of a King-Level Alchemist?"

Grandpa He couldn’t stop exclaiming.

At this moment, the whole Underground Palace was permeated with the medicinal fragrance.

"So fragrant!"

"This is the fragrance of an elixir, so rich, so powerful!"

"My goodness, just smelling this fragrance makes me feel like I’m about to break through to a new state! What kind of elixir is this, that even its fragrance possesses such potent medicinal strength!"

"Could it be a Nine-grade Elixir?"

Within the Underground Palace, many of the He Family warriors started exclaiming in surprise.

Grandpa He said in a cold voice, "Yunfei, go out and tell the family’s disciples to quiet down."

"Yes!"

At this moment, He Yunfei left the Meditation Room, suppressing the clamor of the He Family.

Boom rumble—

Suddenly, at that moment, the entire Underground Palace started to shake violently.

"Lin Bai, come out for a battle!"

An angry roar echoed into the Underground Palace, resounding continuously.

Splat—

The moment that voice reached the Meditation Room, Gu Yueqing was affected by the noise and immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her complexion becoming listless.

And as Gu Yueqing sustained serious injuries, the Heaven Repairing Pill inside the Red Sun Cauldron also began to show signs of destabilization.

"Not good!"

Lin Bai cried out inwardly, hastily rushing to Gu Yueqing’s side.

"Are you alright?" Lin Bai asked with concern.

Gu Yueqing’s white veil in front of her had already been completely dyed red with blood, dripping steadily with fresh blood, yet her gaze was exceptionally determined, "It’s okay, I can hold on until the elixir is ready."

Lin Bai looked at Gu Yueqing with some pity.

Then, Lin Bai stood up and looked outside the underground palace, his eyes shooting forth towering flames of anger!

The Saint’s angry roar just now had almost caused Gu Yueqing to be directly backlash by the Red Sun Cauldron, nearly losing her life, and the Heaven Repairing Pill was also almost a failure in creation.

Fortunately, in the end, Gu Yueqing’s firm belief held strong against the Red Sun Cauldron’s backlash and secured the Heaven Repairing Pill.

"Seeking death!"

Lin Bai gnashed his teeth as he let out a low growl.

Booming sounds—

At this time, the underground palace began shaking continuously.

"Lin Bai, the Eclipsing Sun venom is about to corrode the stone door of this underground palace!"

"Just you wait, once I get in, I will make sure you die without a complete corpse!"

The Saint’s angry roars kept coming.

Lin Bai’s face was grim, and a killing intent surged uncontrollably within him.

Upon hearing this, Grandpa He urgently said to He Yunfei, "Yunfei, what’s going on?"

He Yunfei hurriedly ran out to investigate, and after returning, he anxiously reported, "Father, it seems the Five Poison Sect has gotten some poisonous liquid from somewhere and spread it on the stone door, slowly corroding it."

Upon hearing this, Lin Bai knew that as the sect in Lingdong best at using poisons, it was not surprising that the Five Poison Sect had other venoms besides the Three Great Miraculous Poisons.

Lin Bai asked, "How much longer can it hold?"

He Yunfei replied, "At this rate, I estimate at most only two or three hours."

The expressions of Lin Bai and Grandpa He darkened.

What could be done in two or three hours?

Not even enough time to dig one’s own grave!

Moreover, the underground palace has only one exit. After another three hours, they could only wait for the Five Poison Sect’s evildoers to rush in and slaughter all the warriors inside.

Grandpa He hurriedly said, "Yunfei, go out immediately and arrange for the warriors to be ready for battle at any moment. This is a battle concerning the life and death of the He family; we cannot afford any negligence!"

"Understood, Father," nodded He Yunfei.

Afterward, He Yunfei left the meditation room.

Grandpa He looked at Lin Bai with guilt and said, "Friend Lin Bai, this time I have let you down."

"When you came to Elixir King City, my He family should have treated you with courtesy, providing good wine and good meat."

"But who could have anticipated that after your arrival, not only did you save this old man’s life, but now you will also be buried alongside us battered warriors."

Lin Bai said indifferently, "Grandpa He, why do you say such things? There are still three hours left. It’s still not known who will win and who will lose at the last moment!"

Grandpa He gave a wry smile, not expecting Lin Bai to still hold onto hope at this moment.

But Grandpa He knew well that the Underground Palace was the last line of defense, and once broken through by the Five Poison Sect, all the people inside would surely face death!

An hour later.

He Yunfei had arranged everything outside, then returned to the meditation room.

At that moment, the Elixir Furnace began to shake violently.

Grandpa He, Lin Bai, and He Yunfei all looked over excitedly, "The elixir is about to emerge!"

Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled with brilliant light.

For this Heaven Repairing Pill, Lin Bai had exhausted his heart and soul, and Gu Yueqing had nearly lost her life. It was a hard-won achievement!

Grandpa He said excitedly, "I never expected that I would see a King-level Elixir at the time of my death. My life is without regrets now!"

He Yunfei also looked at the Heaven Repairing Pill with a face full of astonishment and joy.

Bang—

Whoosh—

Suddenly, the Red Sun Cauldron burst open, and a round, jade-like white elixir, radiating spiritual light all over, flew out of the cauldron!

"Come to me!"

Lin Bai had been ready to spring into action, and the moment the Heaven Repairing Pill came out of the furnace, he leapt up and firmly caught the pill in his hand.

As the Heaven Repairing Pill flew out of the Red Sun Cauldron, Gu Yueqing only managed a glance upward to see the elixir successfully refined. With a joyful smile on her face, her body softened and she collapsed to the ground.
