Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: Waves Are Rising

With a Holy Grade medium Marrow Cleansing Pill, there is hope for Sun Lin’s recovery from her injuries, and Sun Jing was in an indescribably good mood, increasingly finding Fang Bai pleasing to the eye.

Watching her granddaughter swallow the Marrow Cleansing Pill and letting her enter seclusion in the bamboo house for deep cultivation, Sun Jing then signaled to Fang Bai with a glance, and the two of them walked out of the bamboo house together.

"Fang Bai, this..."

Walking ten or so zhang away from the bamboo house, Sun Jing finally stopped, turned around to look at Fang Bai, as if she wanted to say something but found it difficult to speak.

"Elder Sun wants to ask me about the Pill Condensation Technique, right?"

Fang Bai asked with a smile.

Sun Jing blurted out, "How did you know?"

Being caught by Fang Bai in her thoughts, she couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed.

Fang Bai said, "I guessed. But it turns out my guess was correct!"

Sun Jing smiled wryly and said, "That’s right, you guessed correctly... I really want to know, how did you modify the Pill Condensation Technique to successfully refine the Marrow Cleansing Pill? Of course, this is your privacy, it’s fine if you don’t want to say."

Even though Sun Jing said that, she naturally hoped very much that Fang Bai would tell her the revised Pill Condensation Technique.

Fang Bai successfully refining the Holy Grade medium elixir proved that his revised Pill Condensation Technique was more perfect. Sun Jing thought that if she could learn it, maybe she too could have the opportunity to refine a Holy Grade medium Spirit Pill.

Even if she couldn’t refine a Holy Grade medium Spirit Pill, greatly increasing the success rate of refining Holy Grade low-tier Spirit Pills was also a very good thing.

But Fang Bai also knew how important a perfect Pill Condensation Technique was to an Alchemist. In the hands of other Alchemists, it would definitely be a top-secret skill. If Fang Bai really refused to pass it on, Sun Jing would have no choice.

With Sun Jing’s character, she couldn’t bring herself to use her power to forcefully suppress Fang Bai, making him disclose the Pill Condensation Technique.

Fang Bai had learned the Pill Condensation Technique from Sun Jing in the past, intending to perfect it and then return it to her. So even if Sun Jing didn’t ask, he would have mentioned it voluntarily.

Without wasting words, Fang Bai explained his perfected version of the Pill Condensation Technique to Sun Jing.

Fang Bai’s perfected Pill Condensation Technique transformed complexity into simplicity, changing difficulty to ease. Sun Jing understood immediately as she listened, and given her prior deep understanding of the technique, she completely comprehended it after just one hearing.

"Fang Bai, I’ll leave things here to you. I’m heading to the Alchemy Room to try it out..."

After listening to Fang Bai’s description of the Pill Condensation Technique, Sun Jing was filled with "alchemy," and unable to contain her excitement, she hastily instructed Fang Bai before rushing away without waiting for her granddaughter’s healing to conclude.

The Holy Grade medium Marrow Cleansing Pill indeed proved extraordinarily effective. After half a day, Sun Lin emerged from the bamboo house, her injuries mostly healed. With some more rest, she would fully recover and could return to the Martial Dao path, resuming her cultivation.

Sun Lin, emerging from the bamboo house, wept tears that fell like rain, yet her face bore a brilliant smile.

Having spent years wasted, finally returning to the Martial Dao path was nothing short of a rebirth for Sun Lin.

Thus, Sun Lin’s gratitude toward Fang Bai was beyond words.

Fang Bai smiled as he watched Sun Lin approach, cupping his hands in salute, "Congratulations, Senior Sister Sun!"

Sun Lin took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and bowed deeply to Fang Bai, "Thank you, Junior Brother Fang!"

Fang Bai responded, "We are all fellow disciples, no need to be so formal! Rest well, Senior Sister Sun, I’m taking my leave now."

Although Sun Lin’s injuries were almost healed, she would still need to enter seclusion for several days to fully consolidate her somewhat fragile meridians and blood vessels from these years before restarting her cultivation path.

Understanding her condition, Sun Lin didn’t try to keep him, insisting on accompanying Fang Bai to the mountain path ahead and watching him leave before returning to her small bamboo house.

On the way back, as she passed the Practice Battle Arena of the External Courtyard Department, she noticed a bustling crowd, with hundreds of disciples gathered in a large circle, watching something intently.

Fang Bai initially intended to skirt around the edge of the Practice Battle to return to his residence, but after walking a few steps, he heard several cries of anguish and sensed several familiar Martial Artist Auras.

Frowning, Fang Bai turned around and strode toward the crowd gathered in the Practice Battle Arena.

He parted the crowd and quickly squeezed into the innermost layer, seeing Huang Zhong, a menial servant who often brought him meals, lying on the ground, his face bruised and swollen. Another Martial Artist, with his back to Fang Bai, had him pinned down with a foot on his back, rendering Huang Zhong immobile.

Not far from Huang Zhong, a wooden box lay askew on the ground, its contents of Solomon’s Seal, Polygonum multiflorum, Poria, and other Spiritual Medicines scattered all over, dirty with dust.

Fang Bai knew the Solomon’s Seal and other Spiritual Medicines in that box were meant for him and Shi Ming, but somehow Huang Zhong had a conflict with someone here, resulting in a clearly one-sided and brutal outcome.

The Martial Artist stepping on Huang Zhong’s back was much stronger than Huang Zhong. Even though he had his back to Fang Bai, Fang Bai could tell at a glance that this Martial Artist was Ye Renjie, who once held titles like "first handsome man of the External Courtyard" and "number one in the Combat Power Ranking of the External Courtyard."

However, since Fang Bai joined the Lingxu Palace, the title of "first handsome man of the External Courtyard" fell to Fang Bai.

This displeased Ye Renjie, who had always been arrogant and dismissive, every time he saw Fang Bai, he would either give him cold looks or ignore him entirely.

For such trivial matters, Fang Bai naturally couldn’t be bothered to bicker with Ye Renjie.

Ye Renjie, with a foot on Huang Zhong’s back, kept insulting him with demeaning words, occasionally twisting his foot viciously on Huang Zhong’s back, eliciting cries of pain from him.

"As a dignified External Courtyard disciple, bullying a menial servant who delivers meals, and doing so in front of so many fellow disciples, aren’t you ashamed?"

Fang Bai stepped forward, speaking coldly with his eyes on Ye Renjie’s back.

The External Courtyard disciples present showed expressions eager to watch the drama unfold, seeing Fang Bai defending Huang Zhong.

"Senior Brother Ye has been at the top of the Combat Power Ranking for many years, whereas Junior Brother Fang is a rising star of the External Courtyards, highly esteemed by Elder Wu of the External Affairs Hall and Elder Sun of the Elixir Hall. How will this confrontation turn out?"

"Senior Brother Ye has always been strong, with great prowess. I guess Junior Brother Fang will ultimately be the one to retreat!"

"Not necessarily! Junior Brother Fang has never fought since entering Lingxu Palace. Maybe he’ll surprise everyone and defeat Senior Brother Ye?"

"That’s highly unlikely!"

"Let’s wait and see!"

...

Some of the onlooking disciples murmured in low voices, their faces showing excitement.

Ye Renjie and Fang Bai, both External Courtyard disciples, each had their strengths, and any conflict between them would inevitably be a rare intense battle in recent years within the External Courtyard Department.

The long-calm External Courtyard was about to be stirred up by this commotion.
