The rich medicinal aroma assailed their senses, and those poisoned felt their spirits surge, a flicker of struggle appearing in their eyes.
On the Dan Dao大会 (Pill Dao Convention) grounds, everyone's mouths gaped wide, yet no sound escaped.
What is it to shock the masses?
This is it.
Ye Lingyuan gazed at the exquisite figure on the spiritual energy screen, the corner of his lips curling up in pride.
His Lin'er, no matter where she went, was a being of resplendent brilliance.
Beneath Shen Liuxing's mask, a radiant smile bloomed.
He rejoiced inwardly, "Sister Zi, I knew you would succeed."
Su Lie's smile had not yet faded from his face when Xuanyuan Zhe's heart began to pound violently.
Rong Guang rubbed his eyes forcefully, his gaze wide as he stared at the pill, the size of an adult's fist.
Shangguan Yulin's feather fan, inadvertently, slipped from his grasp, falling to the ground with a "snap."
It was precisely this sound that broke the eerie silence, and the convention grounds erupted in an uproar.
"God! What did I just see?"
"That's... a colossal pill... it's a colossal pill... a colossal pill!"
"My word! I've actually witnessed the legendary colossal pill!"
"Damn it! It's a colossal pill! This Dan Dao大会 was truly worth the trip!"
"This young girl is too incredible, to have refined the legendary colossal pill. She truly is one who does not sing until she sings, and when she does, it's astounding!"
"Isn't that the truth! How old is she? Her alchemy skills, I fear even the Grandmaster Feng would be ashamed!"
"Speaking of which, what level has her alchemy reached?"
"..."
Feng Ruyi finally snapped back to his senses, staggering back a step and muttering, "Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! Colossal pills, even in ancient times, few could refine them. How could she refine a colossal pill?"
"Hmph! Just because others cannot, does not mean Sister Zi... Miss Zi cannot! Didn't I tell you? She herself is a miracle!"
Shen Liuxing cast a scornful glance at Feng Ruyi, then turned his gentle gaze back to the figure on the spiritual energy screen.
"..."
Feng Ruyi wanted to retort, but the facts were laid bare before him, leaving no room for denial.
He clenched his fists by his sides, the sound of knuckles cracking echoing.
He would not allow Zi Lingling to win!
Because if Zi Lingling won, he would lose the bet.
If he lost, he would not only have to give up his position as Grandmaster of the Alchemist Guild but also sell half of all pills refined by the Alchemist Guild to Hua Tian Commercial Bank, and have all alchemists in the guild refine pills for Lin Xian Restaurant for ten days!
Therefore, Zi Lingling must not win!
Unfortunately, he could not interfere with the hidden mission assessment!
Anger and unwillingness raged in his heart, threatening to ignite him.
"Guild Master, we still have a chance. Look there!"
Elder Nangong said, nodding towards the sundial.
Feng Ruyi understood and looked.
With that glance, his heart, filled with anger and unwillingness, vanished like smoke.
Because the shadow of the sundial was about to overlap with yesterday's.
In other words, time was almost up.
"Hahaha... I haven't lost yet! I haven't lost yet!"
"So what if she refined the colossal pill? If she cannot resolve the poison within the allotted time, she will still lose! Hahaha..."
Feng Ruyi laughed maniacally, unrestrainedly.
Hearing this, everyone looked towards the sundial.
At that moment, on the spiritual energy screen, the voice of the spirit of the Dan Dao lift sounded again, "Last thirty breaths! Countdown begins! Thirty!"
Thirty breaths!
The hearts of Su Lie, Xuanyuan Xun, Rong Guang, Shangguan Yulin, Nian Youyu, Feng Mo, and those "Zi fans" simultaneously sank.
Even the hardliners couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
In thirty breaths, how could Zi Lingling distribute the energy of the colossal pill to nearly a thousand people?
However, Ye Lingyuan and Shen Liuxing showed no signs of worry.
Feng Ruyi stopped laughing and said triumphantly, "Hmph! Even if she refines the antidote colossal pill, so what? We bet on her successfully completing the hidden mission!"
"Therefore, if she cannot detoxify everyone within thirty breaths, I will still win! Hahaha..."
Ye Lingyuan frowned and said coldly, "Noisy!"
As his words fell, Feng Ruyi's laughter abruptly ceased, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
It turned out that Ye Lingyuan's cold shout contained the might and law power of a half-step Divine King.
Furthermore, his might and law power did not affect anyone else, only targeting Feng Ruyi.
"You!"
Although Feng Ruyi was furious, he did not dare to retaliate.
Ye Lingyuan was an existence who could even injure Ling Xiao Divine King.
"Master of Ming Yuan Manor, what do you mean?"
Elder Nangong, seeing Feng Ruyi spit blood, immediately questioned.
After dealing with Feng Ruyi, Ye Lingyuan's gaze fell upon the spiritual energy screen, paying them no mind.
"What do I mean? It means Feng Ruyi talks too much!"
Shen Liuxing shot Elder Nangong a cold glance, saying dismissively.
"Also, thirty breaths is enough to do many things, especially in the face of a miracle! So, being happy too soon is not a good thing. The embarrassment of being proven wrong later will be more than just a little painful!"
"You... you guys..."
Elder Nangong looked at Shen Liuxing, then at Ye Lingyuan, infuriated but powerless to refute.
"Shut up!"
Shen Liuxing coldly reprimanded, his aura flashing briefly.
"This is... half-step Divine King's might?"
Although it was fleeting, Elder Nangong still sensed it.
He muttered to himself, "What's going on today? How did two half-step Divine Kings appear all of a sudden? And both are on the little girl's side?"
However, he was wise enough to remain silent.
Perhaps it was because the time had reached a critical juncture, or perhaps because the imposing aura of Ye Lingyuan and Shen Liuxing had suppressed the entire venue, but after Feng Ruyi and Elder Nangong were put in their place, an eerie silence fell over the convention grounds.
On the spiritual energy screen, Zi Lingling, her face pale and severely depleted, curled her lips slightly and thought, "Thirty breaths? That's enough!"
She grabbed a handful of Soul Nurturing Pills and swallowed them, then contacted the green space with her mind.
Instantly, a large bucket emitting a rich life aura appeared before her.
This water was the spring water from the Lake of Life.
The reason she chose the spring water was because it possessed the property of not being rejected by all things, allowing the detoxification colossal pill to dissolve quickly. Sudanshuwang.
"Twenty-eight!"
The spirit of the Dan Dao lift continued to count.
Zi Lingling tossed the blood-colored colossal pill into the spring water.
As the blood-colored colossal pill rapidly melted, the color of the life water, from a rich green, quickly turned to dark green, then to blue, and finally to yellow before calming down.
