Within these bubbles, tiny babies popped out, shrieking shrilly.

Next, as if there was a mysterious, irresistible force in the black potion, all the bubbles were pulled back into it, vanishing without a trace.

Seeing what was in the bubbles, Han Yi’s hand trembled. He immediately tossed out the black potion. It corroded the ground when it landed, making a sizzling noise. The agonizing cries of the babies rose again and abruptly ceased. All that was left was an empty bottle and a puddle of black fluid.

At this moment, Han Yi’s face wasn’t just solemn anymore; it was rather unsightly.

“As expected, it’s used to concoct an evil pill.”

“Damn it.”

Han Yi stood up, but then slowly sat down again.

“How could they dare? How could the Gu family dare?”

“Concocting an evil pill is a capital offence, even under the Daqian Immortal Law. Aren’t they afraid of being discovered?”

“Moreover, they even dare to give out assignments in the Xuandan Sect. If a disciple of the Xuandan Sect were to be harmed by it, they would certainly conduct an investigation. This won’t easily be covered up. Once it’s exposed, extermination of their clan would be their end.”

Han Yi took a deep breath.

He then gathered all the other raw materials and examined them one by one.

In the raw materials for concocting the Yang Pill, the main ingredient was fine, but amongst the auxiliary materials, only the black bottle marked with a label was problematic.

As for the concoction of the Yin Pill, the main ingredient was even labelled. After checking the main ingredient, Han Yi was more than just upset, he was seething with rage. This was because of the nine ingredients in the Yin Pill, all taken from the physical bodies or divine souls of living beings.

This was a heinous act. It was no longer a question of whether Han Yi could concoct it, but how he was going to report the Gu family.

Yes, that’s right.

He hadn’t let his rage cloud his judgement. The Gu family had a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator, and despite him advancing to the Qi Cultivation Peak, he had never fought with one before. He would therefore need to be extra careful.

To him, it was best to avoid a conflict if he could. If he could not, he would not fear it.

Once he left, he could use these raw materials and this Pill Formula as evidence.

He just needed to hand them over to the sect or directly to Daqian, leaving the Gu family with no chance of survival.

Han Yi took out a new spare storage bag, and put the two ruined batches of pills into a spirit bag. He then put them into the new bag, along with the ingredients for the other three batches of Yang Pills and the five batches of Yin Pills.

Finally, he put the spare storage bag into the main one and put away the Pill Furnace.

Then he sat down on the spot to meditate.

He planned to quietly disassemble the formation and leave the Gu family when night fell, and then anonymously report them to the Daqian authorities.

However, just as he closed his eyes, there suddenly came a knock at the door.

“Daoist Han, Daoist Han?”

The voice belonged to Gu Tongxuan. Upon hearing it, Han Yi’s brows furrowed deeply. He had previously informed Gu Tongxuan not to disturb him while he was concocting pills. This was a big taboo for an Alchemist.

Gu Tongxuan had been alive for such a long time, there was no way he wouldn’t know this.

This was a big issue.

While Han Yi never assumed the worst in people, the fact that Gu Tongxuan knocked on the door immediately after Han Yi had discovered the pills were evil, was too much of a coincidence. No one would believe there’s nothing wrong.

Instead of replying, Han Yi went through everything that had happened since his arrival at the Gu family. Eventually, his thoughts focused on the enthusiastic Gu Tongxuan.

Enthusiasm?

No, not really. After Han Yi had pointed out the risk of failure, Gu Tongxuan agreed without hesitation. After Han Yi suggested that if five batches still failed, he would stop and consider it a failed mission, Gu Tongxuan responded the same way.

Thinking back now, there were already many issues when Han Yi first saw that Pill Formula.

Using labels was obviously to mask the names of the ingredients. There was something very suspicious about this, but all these were just flaws in his plan.

Han Yi silently sighed. He had been somewhat careless.

But he wasn’t a prophet. Moreover, with his cultivation reaching the peak of Qi Cultivation, he feared no cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage. He was not as cautious as before and naturally, he thought differently.

In the past, Han Yi would need to carefully evaluate and repeatedly verify, but now, if there’s a crisis, he can handle any that aren’t at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Having understood this, Han Yi decided not to remain silent. He exited his chamber, opened the courtyard door, and walked out, only to realize that Gu Tongxuan had already backed twenty meters away. By his side, two of the Gu family’s elders stood, both of them at the Qi Cultivation Peak stage, emanating an aura of power.

Han Yi looked up, a fleeting faint golden light in his eyes, causing a sinking feeling inside him.

“Formation.”

A formation had been set around this secluded courtyard in the Gu family’s backyard. The intention behind this was now clear as day.

“Master Gu, what is the meaning of this?”

“I had just finished my meditation and was about to start concocting the pills. This disturbance from you, should it distract me and mess up my procedure, resulting in a ruined pill, the responsibility will not be mine.”

Han Yi’s face darkened and anger welled up inside him as he rebuked them.

Gu Tongxuan merely chuckled at this, “Daoist Han, there’s no need to pretend. Everything you did in the courtyard, I saw it all.”

Gu Tongxuan flipped his hand, revealing a bronze mirror. The mirror displayed the reflection of everything Han Yi had just done in the courtyard.

Han Yi’s heart sank. It seemed the Gu family was well-prepared. This matter wouldn’t end amicably..
