Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 945: Chapter 740: Poison Mist

Su Yuan sent off Xiong Chunyang, dismissed Li Su, left Ruan Ruan in the room on standby, and with a silver light flash on his body, returned to the Qingming Realm.

Su Yuan looked up, and on Qingming Peak, the aura on Luo Bingtong’s body became increasingly introverted.

The icy cloud and frosty mist surrounded her body; she was gradually reaching a state of perfection, likely to successfully break through this time.

Meanwhile, in the attic transformed from a small house beside the Holy Ancient Tree, Yang Yifeng spent most of the time sleeping, and Su Yuan wouldn’t disturb him unless necessary.

On the Jade Lotus Platform, Ashley and Antonios were still cultivating, preparing to break through to the Full Moon and seemed to be progressing faster than Luo Bingtong, likely during this period.

As for Mo Fei, he practiced his skills further away to not disturb anyone.

”Everyone is still working hard.” Su Yuan nodded secretly, ”Then I must quickly enhance my alchemy skills... System, open the Alchemy Dao panel!”

[Alchemy Dao]

[Level: Master (Knowledge: 90.5%, Experience: 8.2w/500w)]

[Mastered Elixirs: Clearing Vein Pill (Level One), Detoxification Pill (Third-level), Revitalizing Pill (Third-level)...]

Currently, there are several million Star Dust in the system, gathered by Mo Fei and Ruan Ruan in the Grey Realm while making the best use of their time in Guangchuan City.

Su Yuan originally planned to reserve them for later Skill upgrades, but now he must improve his alchemy skills promptly.

Not only for the Sun Spirit Pill, but the alchemy skill that could make all the major Sea Gangs along the coast take notice must be at the Grandmaster Level!

”Once stabilized, I need to recruit people with talents in various fields...” Su Yuan sighed slightly.

For now, alchemy, artifact refining, and array formation all rely on myself, although there’s the thought of recruiting other top skills, it’s apparently not the time yet.

Firstly, Qingming currently has no reputation.

Secondly, it’s inconvenient to come from outside to the coastal Western Desert.

The timing is still immature.

While pondering, Su Yuan arrived at the Alchemy Artifact Hall specifically transformed by Ashley and Mo Fei.

In the spacious hall, the furnace fire was roaring, and the Azure Dragon Elixir Furnace emitted curling green smoke, with a batch of Detoxification Pills under refining.

Su Yuan sat down at one side, then his expression turned solemn.

”Returning Ruins...”

Golden Wind swirled in his eyes, and a surge of Returning Ruins Divine Wind suddenly swept around from Su Yuan, enveloping Su Yuan, the alchemy furnace, and a small area outside.

With the supreme mystical wave emanating from the Golden Wind, the flow of time around suddenly accelerated.

Two times, three times, four times... five times!

From the outside view, the flames and green smoke in the Azure Dragon Elixir Furnace appeared to twitch as they processed the elixirs at an astonishing speed.

After confirming the heat level, Su Yuan took out an alchemy classic and began dual-tasking studying.

Under the Time Acceleration, Su Yuan’s speed of flipping through and researching also reached an impressive fivefold, swiftly absorbing the Grandmaster Level alchemy knowledge.

After Burning Sun, with stronger cultivation as support, Su Yuan also felt the incomparably powerful auxiliary capability of the Returning Ruins Divine Wind.

Not only for combat, but using time acceleration for learning, array formation, alchemy... all greatly saved Su Yuan’s time.

The ability to refine 100 elixirs in just one week and elevate the alchemy knowledge to over ninety percent is all thanks to the Returning Ruins Divine Wind!

Next, while upgrading the alchemy skills, Su Yuan also worked on refining Detoxification Pills.

Every week, Su Yuan refined 100 Third-level Detoxification Pills for Li Su to deliver to the Storm Alliance promptly.

In no time, nearly twenty days passed,

This day, Su Yuan suddenly opened his eyes, with a bright gleam flowing in them, and his entire demeanor became increasingly ethereal.

”System!”

Su Yuan opened the system panel, and surprisingly, the column of alchemical attainment had reached Alchemy Grandmaster!

”Returning Ruins Divine Wind, apart from having formidable combat ability, is indeed a divine item for auxiliary cultivation, worthy of being ranked fourth among Divine Winds!”

Su Yuan took a deep breath, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

”Since rising to Alchemy Grandmaster, then...”

Su Yuan flipped his hand to retrieve a precious alchemy recipe with golden patterns on a black background, written on specially crafted Yao Chen Foil.

Unaffected in water, unscathed in fire, and won’t be damaged or eroded by ordinary circumstances.

This alchemy recipe is for the Sun Spirit Pill, which is the most significant recipe Su Yuan exchanged for within the division!

Moreover, besides the Star Core, Su Yuan had prepared the few ancillary materials required for refining the Sun Spirit Pill before setting out.

Su Yuan calmed himself and began to meticulously study the alchemy recipe for the Sun Spirit Pill.

Refining elixirs cannot be hastily started.

The higher the level of elixir, the more complicated it usually is, and the lower the success rate of refining.

Unlike the Detoxification Pills, if the Sun Spirit Pill explodes the furnace, it would directly cost the Burning Sun Star Core, even Su Yuan would feel pain...

Su Yuan analyzed within the Alchemy Artifact Hall for just two hours when Ruan Ruan suddenly walked in briskly from outside.

”Master, Master!”

Su Yuan put down the alchemy recipe, stored the Returning Ruins Divine Wind, and asked, ”Ruan Ruan, why are you here?”

Ruan Ruan anxiously replied, ”Master, just now Li Su said that people from the Storm Alliance came over again.”

”Storm Alliance... what’s the situation?”

Ruan Ruan said, ”The Storm Alliance came with many poisoned people, occupying the inn’s hall, maybe they came for the Detoxification Pills.”

”Oh? Let’s go take a look.” Su Yuan’s expression shifted slightly, stood up, and brought Ruan Ruan, who had reverted to a Slime, back to the inn.

As soon as he stepped out, Su Yuan heard the chaotic noises coming from downstairs.

”Ah... it hurts so much!”

”It’s so itchy!”

”I... I can’t take it anymore!”

”...”

The All-Knowing Vision unfolded, and Su Yuan instantly saw that the inn was crowded with people from the Storm Alliance.

These people were all severely poisoned; some had dark faces, others were red and swollen with purple spots, some covered in pustules, and some with skin full of terrifying red rashes... The various poisons were different in every case.

Only Qiu Fengyin and a few others responsible for bringing these poisoned members were unharmed.

Besides Qiu Fengyin, there was also a dark-skinned man with Full Moon level strength.

Qiu Fengyin paced anxiously back and forth, ”Fellow Daoist Li, why hasn’t Master Su come down yet!”

Li Su comforted, ”Branch Leader Qiu, don’t worry, the boss is in seclusion, and has already been informed.”

Qiu Fengyin asked again, ”Master Su should still have some Detoxification Pills, right?”

”Well... let’s wait for the boss to come and talk to you personally.”

”Then please hurry him up for me!”

Li Su was about to speak when Su Yuan happened to come down from upstairs.

”Sorry to keep Branch Leader Qiu waiting.”

”Master Su!” Qiu Fengyin’s eyes lit up with happiness and he hurriedly approached.

Su Yuan glanced over the poisoned Storm Alliance members and asked, ”The next trade is not due for another two days, why have you come early, Branch Leader Qiu?”

”Our alliance encountered some accidents at sea as you can see, Master, all these members are poisoned, and I didn’t have time to settle them in the city before bringing them directly here.”

At this moment, the man next to Qiu Fengyin also approached, ”Master Su, I am Jing Chenghui from the main base of Storm City. I’ve long heard of your name from Branch Leader Qiu.

Today our Storm Alliance faced some unforeseen incidents. I heard that you might still have Detoxification Pills here. Please, Master Su, grant us the pills to save my brothers.”

The man’s voice was steady, yet there was an unmistakable urgency in his tone.

Jing Chenghui... Su Yuan couldn’t help but take a closer look at the man.

Information about some core members of the Storm Alliance had already been prepared for Su Yuan by Li Su over the past few days.

Jing Chenghui, apart from the Alliance Hierarch Xu Hengjiang, was one of the top three figures within the Storm Alliance.

A man who deeply valued friendship and loyalty, he was quite trustworthy.

Su Yuan nodded, ”I see... No problem, since the Storm Alliance has suffered, we will naturally do our best to assist.”

Su Yuan’s ring flashed, and with a flip of his hand, he took out a box of elixirs.

”Take this, these are the elixirs I’ve prepared for this week anyway.”

Jing Chenghui and Qiu Fengyin looked inside and saw 100 Detoxification Pills neatly arranged in the box.

”Good, good!” Jing Chenghui was overjoyed and immediately instructed, ”Quick! Feed these pills to them!”

Qiu Fengyin retrieved Star Stones and handed them to Su Yuan, while Jing Chenghui and the remaining people administered the pills to everyone present.

Soon, with the effect of the Detoxification Pills, the toxins in most people were promptly suppressed, and their symptoms gradually improved.

But this time, unlike before, the toxins seemed extremely stubborn...

After a while, two Gold level individuals suddenly couldn’t hold on, simultaneously spitting out a mouthful of black-red blood, dying on the spot!

”Hmm?” Jing Chenghui’s expression changed.

”What’s going on!” Qiu Fengyin’s face darkened as he strode up to Su Yuan, ”Master Su, how could they die so quickly, is your Detoxification Pill ineffective?”

Su Yuan’s eyes shimmered with silver light as he briefly examined the two deceased individuals and shook his head.

”It’s not ineffective; the poison they were inflicted with seems too strong. If it were a third-level Detoxification Pill, two pills might be needed to fully cure them.”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Fengyin’s expression darkened, and his tone turned cold.

”Needing two or three Detoxification Pills... Master Su, we’ve had a pleasant cooperation so far; you wouldn’t be trying to take advantage now, would you?”

Li Su, noticing the situation, immediately stepped in front of Su Yuan and coldly said, ”Branch Leader Qiu, mind your words!”

Qiu Fengyin glanced at Li Su, a Full Moon level expert indeed, but he really didn’t take an obscure little organization seriously!

”Indeed, the toxin is much stronger!” Just then, Jing Chenghui’s voice came from behind.

Jing Chenghui had carefully examined the two deceased Gold level individuals and several other Storm Alliance members.

”In the past, with a Gold level constitution, they could endure several days without a Detoxification Pill.

I never expected that now, just three days in, the poison would penetrate so deeply that even a third-level Detoxification Pill is limited in its effect!”

Upon hearing this, Qiu Fengyin cast a glance at Su Yuan and Li Su but said nothing more.

Jing Chenghui looked back at his comrades, his face rather grim.

The absence of any Silver or Bronze levels here was because the previous Silver and Bronze levels were almost all dead.

Even if they weren’t, they would at most be given Level One or Two Detoxification Pills.

Given the soaring prices of Detoxification Pills, even a discounted third-level pill cost 3200 Cent Star Stones, making it a luxury for Gold level consumption.

But now, needing two pills?

That would total nearly ten thousand Cent Star Stones, and the life of an ordinary Gold level Star Card Master might not be worth more!

Nonetheless, the more pressing issue... as Li Su mentioned earlier, wasn’t how expensive the Detoxification Pills were, but whether there were any left.

Jing Chenghui looked at Su Yuan and immediately asked, ”Master Su, are there any more elixirs?”

Su Yuan shook his head, ”There are indeed none left.”

”What should we do!” Jing Chenghui’s expression grew increasingly anxious and heavy.

Now with nearly half of the elixirs left, should they be evenly distributed among everyone, leaving it to fate, or concentrated on a few to ensure some survive...
