Soon, as the crowd left, Su Chen’s eyes flickered as he sat in the medicinal garden.
His gaze was uncertain. What was the purpose of these people for coming here?
Silence.
The entire medicinal garden was silent. Even the chirping of cicadas and birds had disappeared without a trace.
After some thought, Su Chen stood up decisively.
No matter what, he could not just sit around and wait for death. The weak waited to die, while the strong sought survival.
Su Chen naturally wanted to be the strong.
…
At the same time, in the medicinal garden of Pill Peak, there was a remote, secluded mountain ridge. Unless one looked down from above, it would be very difficult for anyone to discover this place.
Up until now, this place had yet to be discovered by anyone. Moreover, there was an extremely deep hidden array formation. Ordinary disciples who came here would only be disoriented before stepping into the array formation, and then they would be teleported out.
Upon closer inspection, there were actually countless rare flowers and fruits ripening here. If a high-level alchemist were to pass by at this moment, he would definitely cry out in disbelief.
That was because… In the hidden corner of this mountain, a human-shaped herb had already borne fruit. This fruit… was one of the rarest in the world!
Pu!
Suddenly, a sound rang out within the cave. Following the branches of the old tree, one could see that there was actually a cave hidden within.
At this moment, Elder Lee was circulating his Qi to treat his injuries. However, after circulating his Qi for a long time, he found that the tendons and veins in his body were still blocked, and he spat out a mouthful of black blood.
The black blood flew out and shot onto the wall like a sharp arrow.
Seeing this scene, Elder Lee’s eyes darkened slightly, and then he looked at the medicinal garden.
He knew that the disciple who fed him the medicine today was the disciple of the medicinal garden… Su Chen!
“Hehe… Amazing, amazing! I have been using poison techniques for 30 years, but I have never seen such a strange thing,” in the cave, Elder Lee muttered to himself. However, his eyes were already filled with hostility.
He had thought that this poison pill was just ordinary poison. In fact, he could even see the medicinal strength contained within the poison pill at a glance. Under such circumstances, Elder Lee dared to swallow the pill.
After all… Who would care about the poison created by a Body Refinement realm junior?
However, very quickly, he discovered that no matter how he experimented with medicine to find a remedy, it was unable to dispel the poison’s properties.
As a result, he was unable to circulate spiritual energy in his body, and he was unable to display his full strength.
In the past, before he was ambushed, there were only a few dozen people in the Tianluo Kingdom who could be compared to him in terms of the level of his medicine refinement. Now, even though he was weakened in this injured state, he was actually unable to dispel even the medicine of a Body Refinement realm junior!?
Could it be that there was an expert behind Su Chen who was helping him? Otherwise, how could a Body Refinement realm junior be able to create a pill that even I am unable to dispel?
He could not help but smile bitterly at the thought of this. Moreover, this person’s method of refining medicine was even more unheard of. All he did was mix together some low-level, best-aged herbs and refine them together, yet it had such an amazing effect!
Currently, although I can’t use my spiritual power, I can’t just sit around and wait for death.
With this in mind, Elder Lee took out a few high-grade herbs and some relatively rare items.
These high-grade herbs did not have any medicinal fragrance. Instead, they emitted a fishy stench. Even if an ordinary person smelled it, they would be immediately put down.
He carefully took out the poisonous grass and began to concoct the Marrow Extraction Pill.
The Marrow Extraction Pill was made of Toad Beads, Ferrying Grass… After 18 rare items were refined, the outer appearance would be bright red with a strong fishy smell.
Once consumed, one would have to take it again at regular intervals. If one did not insist on taking it, one would have to endure the inhuman pain of having one’s muscles and marrow extracted. At worst, one would be paralyzed and at worst, one would die on the spot.
Elder Lee placed these medicinal ingredients into a three-legged, bronze refining furnace that was half a meter tall.
This bronze medicine refining furnace looked ordinary, but it emitted an ancient and unadorned aura.
Elder Lee raised his hand, and flames immediately rose in all directions in the furnace. Tongues of fire spewed out crazily. In a moment, there seemed to be light flowing on the bronze furnace, gathering in the center.
Elder Lee focused all his attention on controlling the temperature of the flames. Soon, those high-grade herbs were burned into a ball of ink-black liquid. The liquid slowly rolled in the flames, reflecting a faint luster.
The flames churned even more intensely, and at this moment, Elder Lee threw other rare items into it.
He focused all his attention on controlling the temperature of the flames. At this moment, as long as the temperature was kept high, this lump of ink-black medicinal liquid would be burned into nothingness.
After the flames reached a certain point in the spirit world, a few white impurities suddenly appeared in the lump of ink-black liquid.
Looking at the white impurities appearing in the liquid, Elder Lee nodded slightly. With a flick of his finger, a small lump of ink-black liquid wrapped in white impurities was expelled from the solution in the furnace.
After expelling this ball of white impurities, more faint white impurities appeared one after another, and these impurities were all expelled by Elder Lee without exception.
As the flames continued to burn, the ink-black medicinal liquid that was originally the size of a fist had now shrunk to only the size of a thumb. The ink-black liquid slowly rolled in the fiery-red flames, like a black pearl, surrounded by brilliance.
After rolling in the flame for a long time, one could even see a bright red throbbing in the inky black liquid.
A moment later, a rough outline of a medicinal pill appeared in the flame.
Elder Lee looked calmly at the medicinal pill that had already taken shape. He nodded slightly and once again threw a stalk of herb into the furnace.
Refining the liquid, removing the impurities, fusing with each other… Elder Lee completed a few delicate and complicated steps in one go without the slightest pause.
After the initial form of the medicinal pill’s liquid collided with each other, bursts of ‘sizzling’ sounds immediately sounded out, and faint black gas surged out from the flames.
The originally rough surface of the medicinal pill instantly became smooth and smooth, and a red luster appeared on the surface of the medicinal pill. Just looking at it gave people a sense of danger.
Elder Lee did not stop after finishing these tasks. Instead, he warmed the medicinal pill in the furnace for nearly a quarter of an hour before the flames in the furnace slowly extinguished.
When the flames disappeared, Elder Lee picked up a jade bottle on the table with his right hand and placed the red medicinal pill into the bottle.
“Whew…” Elder Lee let out a long sigh of relief.
Following that, Elder Lee picked up the medicinal bottle and sniffed it. A strange medicinal fragrance was emitted.
Of course, this Marrow Extraction Pill was modified by Elder Lee. It covered up the fishy smell and it emitted waves of medicinal fragrance.

Elder Lee looked at the pill in the bottle and nodded in satisfaction.
That stinky brat dared to trick me. I will definitely let you taste the pain of having your muscles and marrow extracted.
At this moment, Su Chen was cultivating in the medicinal garden of the Tempered Spirit Peak.
His entire body trembled and he sneezed loudly. He shook his head and said, “Who is thinking of me?”
After the interlude, he continued to meditate and cultivate..
