Chapter 79: Refining Detoxification Pills
The crowd didn’t have time to care about He Linsheng’s threat. Bai He’s face had turned from green to white, and he had lost consciousness. His eyes were closed. If it weren’t for the slight undulation of his chest, he would have looked no different from a dead man.
The situation wasn’t optimistic. Lin Bai frowned. He saw a stream of black gas coming out of Bai He’s wound on his shoulder and spreading rapidly through his meridians. When he sent his spiritual power inside, it actually felt like it was being corroded.
Lin Bai quickly withdrew his spiritual power. The spiritual power could no longer be retrieved and was contaminated by the poison. He could only let it dissipate in the air.
“What should we do now? When the poison enters senior brother Bai’s heart, I’m afraid even the an immortal would not be able to save him.”
There was still a weak ball of spiritual power in Bai He’s heart. However, judging from the intensity of the black qi’s corrosion, it would not last long.
“We don’t have the antidote on hand right now. Even if we can find an alchemist to refine it, it’s too late.”
Everyone was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, not knowing what to do. Only Lin Bai leisurely took out a tattered small cauldron.
“I’m sorry, I’m actually an alchemist.”
! ! !
Many people remembered that Lin Bai had once refined pills in the Mystic Essence Mystic Realm and slapped their heads. “How could I forget about this? Isn’t there a ready-made alchemist here?”
“But we don’t know the formula of the poison. How can we refine the antidote? Moreover, this poison is extremely fierce. It requires at least a third-grade alchemist to refine it. But senior brother Lin –”
After the battle just now, Lin Bai was probably more outstanding in the aspect of Beast Taming. Although everyone had seen him practice once in the mystic realm, but at the moment, it seemed that he didn’t usually refine pills. Everyone had almost forgotten that there was such a thing.
At that time, the medicinal pill that Lin Bai refined in the mystic realm was indeed good, but it wasn’t enough for now. Moreover, the antidote pill wasn’t as easy to refine as ordinary medicinal pills.
If something went wrong, not only would they not be able to detoxify the poison, but they would also make things worse. In other words, it would become a deadly poison pill.
For the sake of Bai He’s safety, everyone did not dare to take the risk, they could only say, “Senior brother Lin, why don’t we look for the nearest elixir store? There should be a doctor or an alchemist there. It would be easier to treat the problem then.”
Lin Bai raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure that he can hold on until then?”
At this moment, Bai He was barely hanging on by his breath. Even his breathing was barely discernible. Seeing this, everyone was terrified, afraid that he would stop breathing in the next second.
Lin Bai ignored everyone’s doubts and began to use the small broken furnace to refine medicinal pills.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve refined medicinal pills. I don’t know if I’m rusty or not. I hope the furnace won’t explode.”
Hearing Lin Bai’s words, everyone felt that Bai He’s chances of survival were even more slim. They couldn’t help but reveal worried expressions, especially the sword cultivator students. They had almost given up.
Now that they couldn’t find any other alchemists, Bai He was already on the verge of death. If they didn’t save him, he would die. However, looking at Lin Bai’s appearance, he didn’t seem to be very reliable. He was holding a small broken furnace, yet he still said such words.
It was a dilemma.
“Forget it. It’s better to save him now than to wait for death.”
“Let’s still believe in senior brother Lin, even though he –”
That disciple paused for a moment and looked at Lin Bai. He picked up the dust from his hands, placed it on the tip of his nose, and sniffed it carefully. They didn’t know what he was doing, but his expression suddenly became complicated.
“He seems a little unreliable. There’s nothing we can do about it.”
The others didn’t suspect that Lin Bai would deliberately set Bai He up. From his actions just now, they could tell that he wasn’t that kind of person.
Moreover, if he had made a move, he wouldn’t have had to stand up for everyone just now. Otherwise, if it were in the past, this kind of childish action would have long been scolded to the point of blood and gore.
The sword cultivator student was somewhat helpless and did not dare to ask Lin Bai how confident he was. He was afraid that Lin Bai would open his mouth and say that he was not even 10% confident.
What everyone did not know was that the dust was the ashes left behind by the antidote pill that had been destroyed by He Linsheng. They did not know that Lin Bai had actually used some special method to preserve it.
Just as everyone was sighing incessantly and did not know whether the move to let Lin Bai come and save them was right or wrong.
On the other side, Lin Bai had already succeeded.
“Alright, our luck isn’t bad this time. We succeeded in the first batch and there was no sign of the furnace exploding.”
“That’s it?”
Everyone was somewhat in disbelief. Their doubtful gazes fell on the small broken furnace as if there was no temperature at all. They also didn’t know whether the furnace was hot or not.
They didn’t know that Lin Bai was using true fire. On the surface, there didn’t seem to be any changes, but the high temperature inside was locked, preventing it from spreading out. This was to achieve precise control. Its requirements of alchemy skills, cultivation, and techniques were even higher.
However, how much time had pa.s.sed? Even for high-level alchemists, they would need to spend a certain amount of time to refine this kind of antidote. Lin Bai didn’t even spend half an hour. Everyone couldn’t help but wonder if he was joking.
“Senior brother Lin, don’t tease us. It’s only been a little while. You should hurry up and refine the pill. Senior brother Bai really can’t hold on for long.”
The people who were grateful to Lin Bai earlier were all somewhat dissatisfied at this moment. After all, there were priorities and priorities. This kind of moment was not suitable for joking.
“I beg you, senior brother Lin.”
Lin Bai looked at everyone in surprise. Instead, he felt that they were making a fuss. “That’s right. It’s because he can’t hold on for long that I increased the speed of refining pills. Is there anything wrong with doing this?”
Everyone looked at each other. This seemed to make sense.
But were the pills that Lin Bai refined really fine?
