Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Heavenly Eye Pill Chapter 239: Chapter 239 Heavenly Eye Pill Mu Liantian watched, his gaze growing somewhat dazed.

If he couldn’t see the changes happening to Qi Sirou, that would be truly strange.

It was precisely because he could see them that his gaze grew distracted, lost in thought.

Could it be that his wife was really poisoned?

Was she really afflicted by the Netherworld Poison Grass?

Had Jing Yan truly removed the poison of the Netherworld Poison Grass?

This was somewhat inconceivable!

Not only to Mu Liantian, but even to Gao Zhao Hai and Wang Bo, two fourth-level Pill Masters, whose expressions changed.

Being somewhat accomplished in the Alchemy Dao, they too noticed the transformations in Qi Sirou, and vaguely felt that Jing Yan might not be deceiving them.

If it was a deception, Jing Yan would have needed to surpass them in the Alchemy Dao to fool them.

“Liantian, I feel a bit better,” said Qi Sirou, her beautiful eyes sparkling more vividly.

She felt the Fog Vortex, sensed the Primordial Energy in her body.

Although the Fog Vortex was still unstable and she dared not circulate even the slightest bit of Primordial Energy, she could at least feel the changes in the Fog Vortex, grasp its subtle fluctuations.

“Madam, let me check again,” Jing Yan smiled and placed his finger on Qi Sirou’s pale arm, gently stimulating the Primordial Energy.

Moments later, he nodded slightly.

“The toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Grass has been removed!” Jing Yan announced with a smile.

The Qiankun Pill Path in Alchemy indeed encompassed everything, even effortlessly removing the poison of the Netherworld Poison Grass using special Detoxification Potion whose ingredients were common and inexpensive.

“This is impossible, absolutely impossible!” Gao Zhao Hai exclaimed agitatedly.

“If it really is Netherworld Poison Grass, you can’t possibly remove its toxicity!

It’s common knowledge that it’s incurable!” Gao Zhao Hai’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

In fact, he too began to harbor some doubt; he had not believed it at all before, but now he believed it somewhat.

Still, he stubbornly refused to admit it outright.

Regardless, the changes in Qi Sirou’s body were undeniable.

As Gao Zhao Hai raved, Pill Master Wang Bo remained silent.

The way of Alchemy Dao was vast and boundless; although they were fourth-level Pill Masters, in the ocean of Alchemy Dao, they could only be considered novices at best.

Jing Yan might be young, but if he had a highly skilled mentor, it was not impossible for him to know how to remove the toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Grass.

“High Alchemist, please be quiet!” Mu Liantian’s expression towards Gao Zhao Hai grew increasingly unpleasant.

If it weren’t for the latter’s status, he would have liked to kick this old fusspot out of the Manager’s Mansion already.

On hearing Mu Liantian’s words, Gao Zhao Hai’s face twitched, his eyes shifting to Mu Liantian, his lips curled in a cold smile.

“Chief Mu, I am only concerned for the madam’s well-being.

Alright, let’s not discuss whether the instability of her Fog Vortex was due to poisoning or not.

The madam’s unstable Fog Vortex is a fact, and even if she was indeed poisoned and now the toxicity has been removed, the Fog Vortex is still unstable,” said Gao Zhao Hai coldly.

Implicit in his words was that even if Qi Sirou was poisoned and now cured, the problem with the Fog Vortex remained unresolved.

Qi Sirou was still in imminent danger.

“If Chief Mu feels we are not needed here, Wang Bo and I will take our leave immediately,” Gao Zhao Hai’s words carried a veiled threat.

He clearly heard the impolite undertone in Mu Liantian’s words just now, which displeased him greatly.

Although as a fourth-level Pill Master of the Alchemist Association, his status might not compare to that of the Commandery Prince Manor’s Chief Manager, Mu Liantian trying to suppress him was not going to be easy.

Mu Liantian frowned and looked at Jing Yan.

He knew that although Gao Zhao Hai’s tone was unpleasant, his words were entirely true.

Solving his wife’s issue was not just about removing the toxicity; they also needed to find a way to stabilize the Fog Vortex.

Seeing Mu Liantian fall silent, a smug smile appeared on Gao Zhao Hai’s face.

“Chief Mu, even if this young man has some skills, he cannot likely resolve the issue of stabilizing the Fog Vortex,” Gao Zhao Hai stroked his beard.

“To stabilize the Fog Vortex, we still need the Divine Netherworld Pill to expand the Fog Vortex!

Chief Mu, time is pressing, and we can no longer afford to delay.

If we allow this young man to continue wasting time, I fear there might not be enough time left to refine the Divine Netherworld Pill.”

Mu Liantian looked anxiously at Jing Yan again.

At this moment, Mu Liantian’s confidence in Jing Yan was evidently much higher than it had been at the start.

But Jing Yan was truly too young.

Even if Jing Yan knew how to stabilize the Fog Vortex, it might still be difficult to achieve.

In the end, to refine elixirs, one would either go through the alchemists from the Alchemist Association or ask for assistance from the powerful figures behind Jing Yan.

However, the existence of these powerful figures behind Jing Yan was merely a speculation.

If there were no such figures behind Jing Yan, or if those figures were unwilling to help refine the medicine, one would still need to rely on High Alchemists like Gao Zhao Hai and Wang Bo.

At the moment, it was still unwise to offend Gao Zhao Hai.

“High Alchemist, how do you know that I cannot stabilize the Fog Vortex?” Jing Yan looked at Gao Zhao Hai.

“A joke, just a baby barely grown any hairs, I ask you, are you an alchemist?

Could it be, you plan to use a detoxification potion to stabilize the lady’s Fog Vortex?” Gao Zhao Hai scoffed, shaking his head disdainfully.

“High Alchemist, I certainly would not stabilize the lady’s Fog Vortex with a detoxification potion.

A specific elixir is needed to stabilize the lady’s Fog Vortex,” Jing Yan said, narrowing his eyes.

“Elixir?

Hmph, ordinary elixirs have already lost their effect on the lady.

Over the years, the lady has consumed a vast amount of elixirs, and now using those would hardly yield any effect.

Are you also suggesting using the Divine Netherworld Pill?” Gao Zhao Hai’s face showed even more contempt as he heard Jing Yan mentioning using an elixir.

Over the past decade, Qi Sirou had been using various elixirs to stabilize the Fog Vortex, but it was ultimately just treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

As time passed, the efficacy of these elixirs diminished with frequent use.

Hence, there was consideration for using the riskier Divine Netherworld Pill as a last resort.

“High Alchemist, what I actually wanted to say is, you really don’t understand much about the Alchemy Dao.

The elixir I’m talking about is not the Divine Netherworld Pill, but the Heavenly Eye Pill!” Jing Yan said with a smile.

“Heavenly Eye Pill?” Gao Zhao Hai was slightly taken aback.

His gaze instinctively glanced at Wang Bo, who looked equally puzzled.

“Ha ha ha…” Gao Zhao Hai burst into laughter.

“Chief Mu, you can directly throw this kid out now.

The Heavenly Eye Pill?

Ha ha, just makes up an elixir and thinks he can deceive Chief Mu?” Gao Zhao Hai’s eyes twinkled.

The Heavenly Eye Pill mentioned by Jing Yan was something he had never heard of.

And judging by Alchemist Wang Bo’s expression, he had obviously never heard of the Heavenly Eye Pill either.

An elixir unknown to two level-four alchemists clearly did not exist.

Even if it really existed, it definitely couldn’t be refined, at least not by anyone in Lanqu County City!

“High Alchemist, the Heavenly Eye Pill is not something I made up; it truly exists.

Just like you don’t know how to remove the toxicity of the Netherworld Poison Grass, there is much about the Alchemy Dao that you are unaware of,” Jing Yan said sharply, not mincing his words.

Gao Zhao Hai, fuming, glared at Jing Yan.

Jing Yan’s words clearly suggested that he, a level-four alchemist, was ill-informed.

“I know what you’re up to now!”

“Your so-called Heavenly Eye Pill must be incredibly precious, right?

Are you trying to say you need to find someone else to help refine this elixir?” Gao Zhao Hai seemed to have seen through Jing Yan’s intentions.

“Chief Mu, this kid is clearly here to swindle!

He definitely wants you to give him a vast amount of resources, and then he’ll go find someone to help refine that nonexistent Heavenly Eye Pill.

I guarantee that once he leaves the Manager’s Mansion with the resources, he will never come back,” Gao Zhao Hai turned to Mu Liantian.

“Hmm?” Mu Liantian was also slightly startled.

It had to be said, Gao Zhao Hai’s words were not entirely without merit.

Jing Yan’s mentioned Heavenly Eye Pill was also something he had never heard of.

“Young Friend Jing Yan, this Heavenly Eye Pill, who can refine it, and what level of an elixir is it?

The president of the Lanqu County City Alchemist Association is a level-five alchemist, also a level-five Pill King.

In the entire Lanqu County City, Mr.

President is the most capable one I know of.

Can the president of the Alchemist Association refine this Heavenly Eye Pill?” Mu Liantian inhaled deeply and looked at Jing Yan.

Hearing Mu Liantian’s words, Jing Yan smiled.

“Chief Mu, you don’t believe me, right?” Jing Yan could clearly sense the doubt in Mu Liantian’s words.

This Lord Chief was also worried that he would demand a vast amount of resources and then vanish.

However, Jing Yan had no intention of asking Mu Liantian for any resources.

His assistance wasn’t for the sake of gaining resources, but rather to foster relations.

“Father, I believe that since Jing Yan mentioned it, he must be able to help find the Heavenly Eye Pill,” Mu Yunfei, clearly trusting Jing Yan immensely, spoke up.

“Miss Yunfei, you are too trusting!” Gao Zhao Hai said crossly, his tone suddenly shifting, “Kid, your mouth is quite tough, but why don’t you first tell us, what exactly is the price to obtain this Heavenly Eye Pill?”

Gao Zhao Hai was very certain, Jing Yan’s purpose was to swindle resources.

Mu Liantian would likely spare no expense to save his wife.

He, Gao Zhao Hai, had exploited this very fact to amass a huge fortune from the Manager’s Mansion over the years.

He suggested using the Divine Netherworld Pill just to make a final, big score.

After all, he couldn’t guarantee the cure for Qi Sirou; if Qi Sirou really died, at most Mu Liantian would resent him but couldn’t blame the death entirely on him.

That little rascal Jing Yan dared to compete with him for a meal; of course, he could not agree.
