Chapter 210: Turn The Tables
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The light was so dazzling that no one could see it clearly. The dust scattered in all directions as if they were in a fairyland of the cloud palace. All kinds of rare birds and strange beasts seemed to come alive as they floated around the crowd.
The hundred-year-old silver leaf flowers bloomed silently. One could still feel the softness of the leaves when touching them. Even the surrounding was filled with the fragrance of green gra.s.s. Such a phenomenon would only appear when the pill was successfully refined.
Just when everyone thought that Lin Bai’s pill had been successfully refined and the stone in the bottom of their hearts was finally lifted, no one noticed that the imprisoned black qi was actually letting out a strange cackle.
“It’s impossible for you guys to succeed.”
Lin Bai also did not expect things to be so smooth. He looked at the pill floating in the cauldron and was just about to pick it up when his expression suddenly changed slightly.
A faint black gas overflowed from the pill, and a crack appeared on the originally golden and round surface. Then, like a spider web, it rapidly spread out in all directions.
The previously blossoming flower was like a landscape painting. The color gradually faded from it and the medicinal fragrance floating in the air was also enveloped by a rotten aura. Everyone looked at the golden pill in front of them, and immediately revealed a terrified expression.
“What the h.e.l.l is going on!”
The golden appearance became mottled, and the black aura spread. It actually had the same effect as the monster that had disguised as Ren Zeyuan before. Even though it was now imprisoned, the evil words it spoke were like a heavy hammer that fiercely smashed into everyone’s hearts.
“My lord has long been prepared. Everything is within his calculations. You bunch of ants, why don’t you obediently wait for death? Perhaps my lord will leave your corpses intact.”
This medicinal herb had been tampered with by someone! Not only had it caused the final pill refinement to fail, but it had also been able to absorb the cultivation of the alchemist. What a vicious plan.
Lin Bai frowned. He could sense that the spiritual energy within his body had been attracted by something and was crazily surging into this contaminated pill.
Yan Hua once again spat out a large mouthful of blood. It was unknown whether he had been affected or angered. “You bunch of ghosts are really despicable and shameless!”
It was a pity that no matter how much he scolded them, he could not change the situation. The refinement had failed, and they could no longer fight back. Everyone knew that, and they immediately looked desperate. They could no longer take care of themselves. They did not have the time to pay attention to the situation on Lin Bai’s side.
No one noticed that red, green, and black lights were flas.h.i.+ng.
Ding

[ Ding! ]

[ The host has received 5,000 days’ worth of cultivation! ]
…
The black qi that was originally absorbing Lin Bai’s spiritual energy suddenly stopped. The person in front of it was like a bottomless pit that could not be completely absorbed no matter how hard it tried. Moreover, the spiritual energy was still pouring into it endlessly. It was completely unable to absorb and dissolve the spiritual power in its body.
The black qi seemed to have been stimulated by something. It surged crazily there, and even the monster in the cage was affected. Noticing the changes here, the wild laughter suddenly stopped, as if it had discovered something unbelievable.
“How is this possible!”
Lin Bai controlled the spiritual power, bit by bit removing the black qi and impurities that were attached to the pill. The originally mottled golden core once again regained its previous l.u.s.ter.
Those black spots slowly fell down and actually revealed a silver appearance. Rings of golden pill patterns surrounded it. There were more than nine layers, and the rich medicinal fragrance once again filled this s.p.a.ce. It was even more intense than before.
Even Yan Hua and the others, who were seriously injured, felt refreshed after smelling it, and their expressions became much better. It seemed to have a calming power. At the beginning, they were still panicking, but gradually, they regained their composure.
There seemed to be a pair of invisible hands in the air, calming down all the chaos.
“What, what’s going on?”
Looking at the pill in Lin Bai’s hand, everyone had incredulous expressions. Didn’t he already fail to refine it? Then where did this silver-colored pill come from?
Moreover, the pill they had seen before was clearly golden in color. Now that the color had suddenly changed, did it still have the same effect as before? Everyone looked at each other, their expressions filled with doubt.
Lin Bai said concisely, “I have a secret skill. As long as the medicinal pill is still around, I can still restore it.”
Actually, Ren Zeyuan had already tampered with the medicinal ingredients earlier. The moment the medicinal pill was completed, it would be corroded by the black qi. Moreover, the spiritual power of the alchemist would also become nourishment. They would be caught off guard and would not have the strength to retaliate at all. After all, as the Vice City Lord, he had sufficient authority and no one would doubt him.
It was because of this confidence that he did not come himself. It was not surprising that his vicious plan would succeed.
However, he never thought that there would be a strange being like Lin Bai. With the help of the system, he had an endless stream of spiritual energy. Not only was the contaminated pill unable to be absorbed, but it was also purified. Its quality rose to another level.
Lin Bai did not want to talk to outsiders about all this, so he just made up an excuse. The others did not come into contact with him and did not know about the twists and turns in his words. Therefore, they did not doubt the authenticity of his words.
That monster did not expect that Lin Bai would actually break this killer move and successfully refine it.. He screamed crazily, “This is impossible! How could you succeed? So what if you succeed? You still can’t stop the descent of my Lord!”
