Currently, the room was filled with the best of the best in medicine and alchemy, each one a luminary in their domain. It would not be exaggerated to call them the world’s best medical team if Mo-Yung Yin and Ping Chi were present.210Please respect copyright.PENANAKKHpTuZUH2
With their cultivation states, it was like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.210Please respect copyright.PENANAEgI4T4wI7T
“Longevity vines!” All of a sudden, Chui Yim smacked the table and stood up. “The longevity vines are the key!”210Please respect copyright.PENANAlP2BN3FJrm
The group glanced at each other, not knowing what Chui Yim was up to.
“Brother Chui, did you think of something?” Ping Ching probed.210Please respect copyright.PENANAllZtZH0AhX
Chui Yim nodded. He finally realised that he had neglected the longevity vines. “Wai Chung Yin talked to me about the longevity vines right before I entered the waterfall. He said that they were the only plants that could survive around the waterfall when other living things failed to withstand the energy of the Heavenly Silver Waterfall formed from an ancient beast’s blood and essence.”210Please respect copyright.PENANALnPMLOB4ju
Everyone present then remembered how deserted the mountain was around the waterfall. There were only ordinary-looking vines that grew nearby, just like any normal weed.210Please respect copyright.PENANAR2QRqLruuz
“Wai Chung Yin mentioned that, as time passed, not only could the vines withstand the waterfall’s energy… they even grew to be resistant.210Please respect copyright.PENANAgn8tkFBwty
“These are longevity vines!” Chui Yim picked up a dry-looking seaweed. “Because it’s resistant to the Heavenly Silver Waterfall, it managed to survive instead of dying under the strong energy. This vine can survive the waterfall’s energy because it’s resistant, and in fact, it now survives by feeding only on the energy of the waterfall!”210Please respect copyright.PENANA3FhYWtFiIL
“Thus, this vine that’s used as the main ingredient of the Blood Purification Pill can also be used to store the blood poison of the waterfall!” Ping Ching continued after understanding where Chui Yim was coming from.210Please respect copyright.PENANAcUwbvh62qU
Chui Yim nodded in excitement. “Wai Chung Yin spoke about the longevity vines as if they were precious items of his, he must know them like the back of his hand!”210Please respect copyright.PENANA23uK4pIlug
“I agree.” Ping Ching flashed him a beautiful smile. “Just as in pharmacology, everything has a relationship of mutual generation and restraint! Injecting such a large amount of blood poison into the longevity vines will also cause them to undergo another mutation!"210Please respect copyright.PENANAmMKMvJpIQe
“Thus, they can withstand more powerful energliph to create a higher grade Blood Purification Pill. It’s the source of this entire incident, as well as the solution!” Chui Yim said, then got to work with a longevity vine.

As mentioned earlier, every single person in the group was an elite professional in medicine or alchemy, subjects that complemented each other. Therefore, refining a grade-two pill was a piece of cake for them with their cultivation states; there wasn’t even a need for a cauldron!210Please respect copyright.PENANASCLFx22w6A
Each of them had a longevity vine to research, and seeing this, the Great Wisdom City members immediately supplied them with other ingredients needed to refine the Blood Purification Pill.210Please respect copyright.PENANAX7MJjw4xPa
Since it was their first attempt, they needed time. Advancing pills to the next grade was tough work too; the ingredient ratio would be messed up, so they needed to redefine the most appropriate ratio for everything. Amongst all Southern Ping members, Ping San Yat was the best alchemist, despite lacking in medicine.210Please respect copyright.PENANAHMfWQPnkLN
After a few tries, he successfully created a thumb-sized red pill.210Please respect copyright.PENANAzpH7CJdOOk
The important figures of Great Wisdom City were over the moon at the sight. “There’s hope!”210Please respect copyright.PENANAz7k4BQHtyr
“Alchemist Ping! Please give it to my child! He’s in a critical situation!”210Please respect copyright.PENANAhNLdXhiLgt
“Pfft! Whose child is not in a critical situation?”210Please respect copyright.PENANAzqoVcwjRdv
Within a short moment, the entire room was in a mess.210Please respect copyright.PENANAV8Hpw3ToCe
Hung Siu sneered, which sounded like a clap of thunder, leaving the crowd quiet instantly.210Please respect copyright.PENANAyBbVP2vztL
“We do not have the time to do a test, thus… this is an experimental pill. None of us know what the effects will be; if the patient will recover, or be placed in an even more dangerous situation…210Please respect copyright.PENANA3uFhiJjFKk
“As all of you know, medicines are three parts poison even when they aren’t experimental. Thus, the patient who takes it will be the experiment’s first test subject to see if this pill is useful.
“Now, let me ask – who is willing to let his child take this risk?”210Please respect copyright.PENANAxHevAroF5U
Those who fought for the pill instantly looked at each other silently. Ping San Yat had made it clear, and naturally, nobody was willing to let his son become a lab rat.210Please respect copyright.PENANAwHiYfxjYNe
“My grandson can try.” After some time, a person volunteered.210Please respect copyright.PENANA9GU80EAm5z
He was a guest elder of the Hung Clan and was in the three-chambered state. His grandson was in the peak two-chambered state, a disciple with very huge potential. “I might be unaware of this incident that took place in the past, but since it’s the Hung Clan who started it… we shall take responsibility for our wrongdoing.”

210Please respect copyright.PENANAAbsxAAzLrB
210Please respect copyright.PENANArRuDf8XPOW
210Please respect copyright.PENANA0N66EcBHXH
The elder’s grandson was sent over. His entire body was similarly red and his veins black, which was terrifying to look at.210Please respect copyright.PENANAgwqO8YUXOO
Ping San Yat sighed. Testing on a patient was something irresponsible for him, an alchemist, to do, but due to limited time, they couldn’t wait for the cure to be slowly perfected. It was sad to say it, but the victims would pass on eventually without a cure, and desperate times called for desperate measures.210Please respect copyright.PENANA2dQ9zNr9Et
They placed the pill in the teen’s mouth as the rest watched closely.210Please respect copyright.PENANAN4sJsNJr7V
Shortly, the redness of the teen’s body faded, and he stopped looking like a cooked shrimp.210Please respect copyright.PENANAX8W0BjgjmJ
“It’s taking effect! It’s effective!”210Please respect copyright.PENANA8r18M7oP9P
“Hahaha! It’s effective!”210Please respect copyright.PENANA3itOBqzoWW
Ping San Yat’s expression relaxed slightly.210Please respect copyright.PENANAcUkXK8ndHb
But just then, the teenager started trembling violently, and even Ping San Yat had to hold him down.210Please respect copyright.PENANAWsXahJAcL5
The teenager kept vomiting black blood, and after a minute, he passed away.210Please respect copyright.PENANAuL7O6nWEqP
The atmosphere in the hall became even more oppressive. The most frightening thing was not despair, but seeing hope in the midst of the despair, only to be brutally thrown back into the abyss.210Please respect copyright.PENANAJDlPJhFwnm
“Let’s continue refining,” Ping San Yat said coldly.
210Please respect copyright.PENANAzCHRloq3S2

Chui Yim was no longer as excited and happy as before. Currently, he wore a cold expression after failing to refine the pill twice.210Please respect copyright.PENANASmikPC8Z3i
But he and Ping Ching were honest about what they said concerning the longevity vine. The longevity vines were a mutated version due to the over-saturation of energy and would be able to create grade-two pills. However, the energy stored in the vines was the blood poison from the Heavenly Silver Waterfall, which was the main cause of the victims’ sickness to begin with. When both of these forces met, they would only complement each other instead of canceling.210Please respect copyright.PENANAZV1qCo23el
The issue now was to eliminate the blood poison in the vines before refining them. Chui Yim tried doing so with the Heaven’s Flame, but it was too intense for the vines to take and caused them to disintegrate immediately.210Please respect copyright.PENANAExi0QkPen6
As for Fury… that was a kind of spiritual flame, not an actual flame that could help refine pills.210Please respect copyright.PENANA1YqRFfPMEP
Think, Chui Yim, think!210Please respect copyright.PENANAiQK1VTvEWK
He patted his shiny bald head, thinking fast. How am I supposed to get rid of blood poison without damaging the longevity vines… If it was Chui Tin, he’d definitely solve this easily…210Please respect copyright.PENANAC58QonvJte
This was the first time he ever felt this helpless. He had never experienced this feeling after finally breaking through his heart chamber, merging with the Heaven’s Flame and curing his heart deficiency that had greatly bothered him since birth.210Please respect copyright.PENANAr6iBdtEwRj
Hmm?210Please respect copyright.PENANANs0khmlQMI
Chui Yim’s eyes lit up as he rapidly threw all kinds of ingredients into the Nine-Dragon Flame Gathering Cauldron.
