Upon hearing what Yoshida Hideo said, Inoue Masakazu's brow furrowed deeply. He knew that this fellow's premonitions were always remarkably accurate.
"Mr. Yoshida, do you truly have such a premonition?" Inoue Masakazu asked.
"Yes, but it's not as clear as it usually is. The premonition isn't that precise!"
Yoshida Hideo said hesitantly, "Perhaps it's just the agony of the corpse poison that's making me think this way!"
Inoue Masakazu nodded upon hearing this and said, "Mr. Yoshida, in my opinion, this isn't a premonition of yours, but a mere illusion."
"No matter how capable Cheng Xiaofan is, being here is like a tiger fallen into the plains, caught in a jar with nowhere to escape. He's just waiting for us to finish him off."
Yoshida Hideo said, "The Grand Sect Leader is right. Once he refines the detoxifying pill, we will kill him and use his blood to concoct the medicinal pills we need!"
Inoue Masakazu stated, "This Cheng Xiaofan is extremely cunning. While he's refining the pills, we must make thorough preparations and strike a single, fatal blow!"
Yoshida Hideo chuckled, "Grand Sect Leader, leave this matter to me to handle, ah—"
Just as he finished speaking, Yoshida Hideo suddenly clutched his head and cried out in agony, "My head hurts so much, it's killing me!"
"Aoo—"
As if to echo Yoshida Hideo's scream, Inoue Masakazu let out a howl similar to that of a wolf.
He too clutched his head, groaning in pain, "Damn corpse poison, it's leaving me with only half a life."
This intermittent headache left their faces as pale as paper, and sweat quickly soaked their clothes.
The two could no longer bear it and could only writhe on the ground.
"Ah—"
"Awooo!"
...
Clink!
One by one, golden-yellow breakthrough pills flew out from the swirling vortex of space, landing in a transparent glass bottle placed before Cheng Xiaofan.
In less than a moment!
Cheng Xiaofan suddenly opened his bright eyes.
He withdrew his posture of embracing tranquility and picked up a breakthrough pill from the bottle.
The golden-yellow breakthrough pill was about the size of a pigeon's egg, appearing crystal clear and exceptionally beautiful. Its emitted fragrance was deeply refreshing.
Anyone who saw it would first think it was a delicacy and would want to snatch it, put it in their mouth, and fully savor its taste.
It was unlikely anyone would imagine its potent destructive power against cultivators.
When he emerged from his spatial realm, Cheng Xiaofan found that it was already the morning of the next day. 138read.com
Creak!
Cheng Xiaofan reached out and opened the door, then slowly stepped onto the balcony. Facing the east, he took a deep breath and performed a pull-up.
"Everyone, look quickly, isn't that Mr. Cheng?"
"Yes, I see clearly, it is indeed Mr. Cheng, the divine doctor Cheng!"
"Haha, the medicinal pills that Mr. Inoue needed must have been successfully refined!"
"Quick, call Matsushita Kutsunori and tell her to inform Mr. Inoue of this news!"
Inoue Masakazu had posted people to guard the front and back of this villa. As soon as Cheng Xiaofan appeared, they were to notify Matsushita Kutsunori.
After all, these people held low positions and were not qualified to call Inoue Masakazu directly.
Someone immediately dialed Matsushita Kutsunori's number and informed her of Cheng Xiaofan's appearance on the balcony.
"Mr. Inoue, I just received a report that Cheng Xiaofan has come out of the villa!" Matsushita Kutsunori reported to Inoue Masakazu.
Inoue Masakazu, who was lying in bed, heard Matsushita Kutsunori's words and excitedly jumped out of bed. However, before he could steady himself, he fell back to the ground.
Last night, the headache had recurred seven times, tormenting him and Yoshida Hideo to the brink of death. Getting out of bed now made him feel as if he was floating.
He sat on the ground, panting for a few breaths, before asking, "Kutsunori, are you sure Cheng Xiaofan has come out of his room?"
Matsushita Kutsunori said, "It was the people you assigned to guard around the villa who reported to me. It should be correct."
"Hmm, I understand!"
Inoue Masakazu immediately dialed Yoshida Hideo's number, "Mr. Yoshida, I just received news that Cheng Xiaofan has come out of his room. Come to my place, and we'll go together to get the medicine."
"Okay, Grand Sect Leader, I'll be there immediately!"
More than ten minutes later.
Yoshida Hideo arrived at Inoue Masakazu's residence.
"Let's go, we're going to Cheng Xiaofan's place to get the pills!" As expected of the Grand Sect Leader of the Blood Demon Sect, he was full of vigor and dominance.
Yoshida Hideo said, "Let's hope he has successfully refined the pills."
Inoue Masakazu chuckled and said, "This kid loves money. As long as you give him enough money, there's nothing he can't do."
"After we get the pills, we'll take them immediately. Once the corpse poison is expelled from our bodies, we'll get rid of him!"
Upon hearing this, Yoshida Hideo excitedly said, "Good, Grand Sect Leader, everything will be as you say!"
A short while later, the two arrived in front of the new villa. Matsushita Kutsunori was already there with a group of people, awaiting their arrival.
"Kutsunori, where is Cheng Xiaofan?" Inoue Masakazu asked.
Matsushita Kutsunori quickly replied, "Cheng Xiaofan was active on the balcony for a while, and then it seems he returned to his room."
"You all stay here below. Mr. Yoshida and I will go up and take a look!" Inoue Masakazu instructed Matsushita Kutsunori and the others, then entered the villa with Yoshida Hideo.
The two went up to the third floor and soon arrived at the door of Cheng Xiaofan's room.
The door was closed.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Inoue Masakazu reached out and knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Cheng Xiaofan's voice came from inside.
Immediately, Inoue Masakazu pushed the door open and walked in with Yoshida Hideo.
They saw Cheng Xiaofan lying on the bed, with his legs crossed, holding a remote control and searching through TV channels.
When he saw the two of them enter, he put down the remote control and said with a smile, "Heh heh, you're both here!"
"Yes, we are,"
Inoue Masakazu said, "Mr. Cheng, have the pills been refined yet?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "They have been refined!"
Inoue Masakazu put on a smile, his voice trembling slightly, "Mr. Cheng, you are truly amazing. Could you show us the pills?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily and said, "These pills were originally refined for you, so of course, I will show them to you."
"However, according to the rules I've set, you can see the pills, but you must pay a 'viewing fee' to show your appreciation."
"After all, I spent a whole night refining such a rare and miraculous medicine!"
Upon hearing this, Inoue Masakazu almost choked with anger. He thought to himself, I've already paid you so much money. Do you think I'm like Shen Wanshan from Chinese legends, with inexhaustible wealth?
You ask me to show the refined pills, and then you come up with a viewing fee.
Are you crazy?
