Chapter 88 - Who Made A Sneak Attack

A huge green wave surged over. With Lin Bai as the center, the surroundings became an ocean of green. The light was so piercing that everyone could hardly open their eyes. No one noticed that Lin Bai’s hand moved slightly, as if something had fallen into the cauldron.

When the light dimmed, the refreshing medicinal fragrance disappeared.

The small cauldron quietly hovered in the air and returned to its previous dull appearance. There was no special phenomenon. For a moment, He Fan and the others were confused.

“Did he fail, or did he succeed?”

They subconsciously looked at Chen Yan, who also shook his head to indicate that he didn’t know

Logically speaking, after successfully forming a core, the higher the grade of the medicinal pill, the higher the phenomenon would be. However, Lin Bai started high and ended low. Just a moment ago, the medicinal fragrance was still incessantly assaulting their noses, but now there was no movement. 

“It can’t be that he failed, right?”

“It’s possible that the medicinal fragrance from before was also created by this kid to intentionally scare us.”

He Fan revealed a disappointed expression. He thought that Lin Bai had failed, and He Xueyao let out an indiscernible sigh of relief.

However, they only saw Lin Bai remove the lid of the cauldron, and three round and smooth pills appeared in everyone’s sight. Each pill was extremely plump and did not have any impurities. Golden pill patterns circled around, and there were no less than seven layers.

Chen Yan widened his eyes and quickly rushed forward. He held the three pills in his hand and examined them carefully. He was so shocked that he almost could not speak. “This, this is a seventh-grade spirit replenishing pill. You really succeeded in refining it!”

He Qicheng and He Fan instantly became extremely excited and surrounded Chen Yan.

Chen Yan looked at the pills in his hand and carefully sniffed them. The seventh-grade spirit replenishing pill was real. His gaze fell on Lin Bai, and there was still some shock and disbelief in his eyes.

“Just give one to your young master to swallow. He’ll recover after resting for a few days.”

He Qicheng was still a little hesitant. “There shouldn’t be any problems with it right, alchemist Chen?”

Chen Yan’s face turned cold. “You’re questioning my judgment. There’s nothing wrong with the grade seven spirit replenishing pill.”

Seeing that he was angry, He Qicheng didn’t doubt him and hurriedly fed He Linsheng. He Linsheng’s unsightly expression recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, he extended his spiritual sense. Sure enough, there was an extremely gentle power that was moving through He Linsheng’s meridians. It was like a line connecting the originally broken meridians. It was really too magical.

Seeing how excited the two of them were, Lin Bai was deep in thought. Suddenly, he remembered the spiritual power that came when the pill was about to form. Who would do that?

He Qicheng and He Fan were eager to save He Linsheng, so they would never do such a thing. Chen Yan had no enmity with the He family, nor did he have any interactions with him, so he did not have this motive.

As for He Xueyao —

Lin Bai’s gaze fell on He Xueyao. She just happened to raise her head, and their gazes met in mid air. He Xueyao did not seem to expect Lin Bai to look over, so she immediately averted her gaze.

Lin Bai didn’t know if it was his imagination, but he felt that there was some coldness in her gaze.

It was strange. Previously, He Xueyao had indirectly spoken up for Lin Bai and had even expressed her goodwill towards him. Now, it was as if she had changed into a different person, and she was somewhat cold.

The person behind the scenes probably did not want him to cultivate into a medicinal pill. If they wanted his life, the He family could have directly made a move. There was no need to go through so much trouble and even use He Linsheng as a bet. It was likely that the person was coming for He Linsheng.

He looked at He Xueyao again. At this moment, she had already lowered her head. The expression on her face could not be seen clearly. In any case, he was going to leave soon. The person behind the scenes had nothing to do with him.

Lin Bai could not be bothered to meddle in other people’s business. Moreover, he and He Linsheng were not on good terms. He had no choice but to refine the pill to save the person. The rest was up to the He family.

“I’ve already refined the pill. If there’s nothing else, I can leave now.”

Lin Bai walked towards the door, but a strong spiritual energy assaulted him from behind, accompanied by He Qicheng’s cold voice. “Did I say you could leave?”

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and turned around. “Are you trying to burn the bridge after crossing it? Or are you trying to kill the donkey after cutting the mill?”

He Qicheng’s expression was dark. “Linsheng hasn’t woken up yet. Who knows if there will be any side effects from this pill? We have to wait until he wakes up first!”

“Okay.” Lin Bai sat down indifferently. As the saying goes, ‘when the army comes, the general will block it. When the water comes, the earth will cover it.’ He wanted to see what tricks He Qicheng would play later.

He Xueyao brought a cup of tea from the side and placed it beside Lin Bai. She said softly, “Don’t blame second uncle. He’s too worried about Linsheng’s situation.”

Lin Bai raised his head and glanced at her. To be honest, as the eldest daughter of the He family, He Xueyao did everything flawlessly, no matter how she treated others or how she handled things. If there was one word to describe it, it was perfect.

“Thank you.”

Time passed by minute by minute, and the effect of the seventh grade spirit replenishing pill was very fast. He Linsheng, who was laying on the bed, opened his eyes. “Father, uncle…”

“Linsheng, you’ve finally woken up. Is there anything uncomfortable in your body?”

He Linsheng, who was laying on the bed, did not notice Lin Bai on the chair. He shook his head and said, “Other than feeling weak all over, the rest is fine.”

He Fan once again probed his spiritual sense. As expected, the previously damaged and messy meridians were all recovering in an orderly manner. Now, more than half of the damage had recovered.

He Qicheng turned his head to look at Chen Yan. He nodded and said, “These are the sequelae. After all, he took too many pills. After a few days of good rest, he will completely recover.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar male voice.

“Alright, you guys heard it too. He said that everything is fine. Then I can leave now, right?”

Even He Linsheng would not forget this voice. He sat up abruptly. Lin Bai, who was sitting on the chair, came into sight. He even waved at him to greet him.

“We meet again..”
