Xiao Qingwang’s pupils constricted. He glanced at Yunxiao and Meng Wu, who were lain in the center of the array, and said firmly, “We don’t have the time to consider so much now, and I think we can try as long as there is ten percent success rate. When the ring space is broken, I’ll use all my strength to prevent it from collapsing. Yunshang, Ji Meng, Yian, Li Changfeng, the four of you must use the fastest speed to bring out as many things from it as possible!”

“Understood!”

The four people answered in unison. Then, with a nervous and serious look, they surrounded the ring and concentrated their divine sense to the strongest level as they stared unblinkingly at it. Supposedly, Li Chunyang was a more suitable candidate for the task, for his cultivation base was stronger than them. But judging from the blank look on his face, his mind should be equally blank as well.

“Good!” Xiao Qingwang nodded in approval and said, “Pay close attention now!”

He threw out a palm with the fingers bent like a claw. Suddenly, a martial essence of the Six Directions realm gathered from all directions into his palm, and then he pressed it down hard onto the ring. Under the mighty power, the ring began to twist.

With a faint crackling sound, Yunxiao’s ring blew into pieces. An independent space emerged, but no sooner had it appeared than it began to collapse.

“Freeze!”

Xiao Qingwang roared as he mustered all his Primordial Qi in his palm and slapped it at the space. That halted the collapse for a brief moment, and then the space crumbled and vanished in an instant.

Meanwhile, he felt that his power was repelled by an irresistible force of rules, which shook his mind and caused him to cough out a mouthful of blood. He could not believe that even with all the power of a Martial Grandmaster, he could only last a brief moment!

And during that brief moment, Luo Yunshang, Ji Meng, Yian, and Li Changfeng moved at the same time and tried their best to remove as many things as possible from the space at the fastest speed. Even so, they only managed to take out less than one-third of the things.

Their faces were extremely unsightly, and they were very anxious, fearing that the Golden Sixsun pill was not among the things they had taken out.

Xiao Qingwang sighed. “The planning lies with man, the outcome with heaven. Master Zhang, take a look at the things and see if you can find any medicinal pills that can save their lives.”

Zhang Qingfan began to go through the items nervously while Luo Yunshang and the others also tried to pick up smaller objects like bottles and boxes. Very soon, Zhang Qingfan found a pale yellow medicinal pill from among the various bottles and looked surprised. He put it under his nose and smelled it, then, to be one hundred percent sure, he let Xu Han examine it as well. Finally, he said firmly, “This is a Golden Sixsun pill!”

“Yes! We made it!” Everyone was overjoyed. Xiao Qingwang quickly took the pill and walked into the array, then put it into Yunxiao’s mouth and helped him dissolve it with Primordial Qi.

The Golden Sixsun pill was a fourth-tier healing medicine, but even Zhang Qingfan and Xu Han could not refine it. After all, not only did they not have the recipe, but it required several extremely bizarre refining techniques, which they did not know how to use at all.

They waited with expectant faces, but there was no reaction from Yunxiao. Only his skin slightly returned to normal from that stone-like state. His face was still extremely pale, and he was still in a coma.

“This…” Zhang Qingfan was confused. He thought everything would be fine after they found the Golden Sixsun pill, and yet nothing had changed even after all the hard work.

Xu Han, on the other hand, felt a chill on his back. Ji Meng had almost died with one of his legs stepped into the jaws of death, but just one Golden Sixsun pill was enough to save his life. It was to guarantee that his cultivation base would not drop that Yunxiao had constructed the Thousandwood Rejuvenation array. He did not expect that Yunxiao would only become slightly better after taking the same medicinal pill.

Xiao Qingwang was furious, and he roared, “He is only a third-tier alchemist, and both of you are fourth-tier alchemists, but why is there such a huge gap between you?”

Zhang Qingfan’s face turned slightly pale. He had never been scolded like that after he had become a third-tier alchemist. However, not only was he not angry, but he was also ashamed. “I’m indeed a loser. Master Yunxiao is in such a serious condition, and yet there is nothing I can do!”

Suddenly, Xu Han said, “Old Zhang, I just thought of a pill recipe. Do you still remember the recipe you showed me, which is hidden in the depths of the imperial palace?”

Zhang Qingfan paused a moment, then his eyes lit up and he jumped, slapping his forehead as he said, “I’m such a fool! How could I even forget that?!”

He hurriedly explained to the crowd, “I found a pill recipe by accident in the treasure of the imperial palace before, which is a fourth-tier medicinal pill that can revive the dead. As I thought I can never become a fourth-tier alchemist in my life, I didn’t pay too much attention to it. The recipe is still imprinted in my head though. I will refine it with Xu Han now. We will save Master Yunxiao!”

When he had finished, he ran out of the cavern with Xu Han. At least they saw a sliver of hope, which cheered both men up immediately.

Meanwhile, Hong Bing had begun the work of getting Yanwu back on track. First of all, he locked down the whole city and permitted no one from entering or leaving, so as to prevent the news from leaking out quickly and attracting stronger enemies. Secondly, he sent people to transport a large amount of earth and rock from outside the city to fill the huge pit in the center of the city.

Qian Duoduo stood on top of a building and watched as all that took place. He swept the whole city with his divine sense, and he did not find Yunxiao and the others. That made him realize that they must have entered an independent space.

The battle just now had left a deep mark in his head. He could not believe that a young Martial Master could have such a fierce fighting strength. Especially the last attack, the illusory flaming bird…He reckoned that if he were in Xingyang Kun’s position, he would have long been burned into ashes.

“Is that a phoenix? Aye, it should be the illusory form of a phoenix, a legendary True Spirit,” Qian Duoduo murmured to himself, his eyes filled with deep shock. All ancient True Spirits were existences of the Ten Worlds realm, but they had long been gone in the long river of history, and only existed in legends now. He did not think he could see the trace of one today.

“What kind of man is this City Lord of yours?” Qian Duoduo asked with a frown on his face as he sensed the aura of another man beside him.

That gave Hong Bing a pause, but then he smiled and said while looking at the city down below being restored and resumed orderly, “This City Lord of yours? He is your City Lord as well. To be honest, I’m not sure. He has only been in Yanwu for half a month. But…” his eyes suddenly lit up and his face grew serious, “I believe that under his leadership, Yanwu will certainly become a great place!”

“A great place?” Qian Duoduo smiled noncommittally. “In your opinion, what makes a city great?”

Hong Bing heard the disdain in his tone. A hint of irritation rose in his heart, and he said coldly, “I don’t know, but as long as he is the City Lord, I believe Yanwu will become a first-class power sooner or later in not only Firecrow Empire, but the Heavenly Martial Realm as well!”

“A first-class power in the Heavenly Martial Realm? Hah! You are a frog living at the bottom of a well. Do you know how vast the Heavenly Martial Realm is?” Qian Duoduo showed a sarcastic look and said disdainfully, “Firecrow Empire is just an insignificant existence in the Heavenly Martial Realm. Even if it is wiped out by someone tomorrow, it will not be a piece of important news, and not many people will want to know about it.”

That made Hong Bing extremely uncomfortable. Although he was facing a nine-stars Martial King, he still held his head up fearlessly and said in a cold voice, “Yes, I’m indeed a frog living at the bottom of a well, and you are a mighty nine-stars Martial King. But you can look with your own eyes at the City Lord himself, look at how he leads us and Yanwu to the pinnacle of this continent, one step at a time!”

At that moment, Hong Bing did not know why he was so confident, and a faith that had never existed before sprouted in his heart. He glanced coldly at Qian Duoduo and left to continue his work. He did not want to spend his time with someone like this.

The sarcastic look on Qian Duoduo’s face slowly faded away. There was a look of pain in his eyes as they seemed to look through layers of space into the unreachable north while a voice rang in his mind…

“When I reach the pinnacle of this continent, I, Qian Duoduo, will come back!”

He felt a pang of sadness, and he closed his eyes. When he opened his eyes a moment later, they were as clear and calm as before. Looking at the city down below, he murmured to himself, “Did he say the pinnacle of the continent? Since everyone trusts you so much, then…I will believe you just once.”

He lifted his hand and looked at the Nine Orifices pill in his palm. Then, with just a blink, he vanished from the rooftop.

In Mount Inch within the Divine Realm Tablet…

Zhang Qingfan roared excitedly, “We made it! This is the Snow Pill, a fourth-tier healing medicine! We’ve finally made it!”

Sensing the rich Primordial Qi emanating from the medicinal pill, he turned and bolted toward the cavern.

“This Snow Pill is an ancient healing medicine. Although it is only a fourth-tier medicinal pill, it is much stronger than all those common fourth-tier medicinal pills! Can you sense its rich Primordial Qi? It can certainly save Master Yunxiao!” Zhang Qingfan explained in excitement. After he fed the pill to Yunxiao, the crowd waited quietly with expectant faces.

Time went by little by little…

Li Changfeng could not bear it anymore. He walked out of the cavern and looked at the sky, which was always bright and clear in the Divine Realm Table. He frowned and said, “At least six hours have passed, right? Why hasn’t he reacted yet?”

Zhang Qingfan’s forehead was covered with sweat, and his face was blank. The medicinal pill was refined by him and Xu Han, and they both knew how strong its strength was, which was enough to revive a dead. But, why had it only made Yunxiao’s face slightly red?

Xu Han could not help saying, “This is very strange! Maybe Master Yunxiao’s condition is too serious. Why don’t we go and refine a few more? Maybe that will help…aye, maybe.”

By now, even he had completely lost confidence.
