134: Breakthrough

Half an hour later, Lin Ze, Tenth Elder summoned all the Family's Alchemists to Zhou Garden and brought a large amount of medicinal herbs.

"Son-in-law, how is it?"

He walked into the main building, looked at Zhou Luo, who was pretending to study the poison's properties, and asked.

"Lord Father-in-law, it will be about half an hour more." Zhou Luo said deliberately.

"That's good, try to be as quick as possible. The city is in utter chaos right now." Lin Ze, Tenth Elder let out a long sigh of relief.

Since Lin Xuanfeng transferred most of the Cultivators from Zhi'an Hall away, the two remaining guard squads simply couldn't stop the Joyful Union Sect Disciples' rampage.

In just half an hour, many of the Family's businesses were affected.

Smaller ones were directly plundered clean, while larger ones, such as the auction house, were still guarded by Family guards, but they wouldn't last much longer.

Outside the main building, the other Alchemists were discussing animatedly.

"Do you think this kid Zhou Luo can really figure it out?"

"I doubt it, this poison is too strange."

"I actually think he can do it. When we were at the Spirit Mine, I noticed his extraordinary talent in this area."

"Are you saying he has a talent for making poison?"

"Pill Refining and making poison are inherently connected. The Family doesn't have a single poison Revered Master right now, which is why we are so restricted when dealing with poisoning. I think he could be nurtured."

...

The group of Alchemists had differing opinions.

As soon as Lin Ze, Tenth Elder came out, they immediately shut their mouths.

"Tenth Elder, how is it?" an old man stepped forward and asked.

"Another half an hour. Get ready. Once he figures it out, start refining immediately." Lin Ze, Tenth Elder said.

On the other side, Lin Zhishou and the others who were ambushed were not in a good situation.

This incident was sudden, and with inside help, they suffered heavy losses.

More than a dozen Family Cultivators died on the spot, and the rest were still fighting desperately.

At this moment, the battlefield had shifted from the air to the ground.

Under the siege of the Joyful Union Sect Disciples, that huge flying boat was already struggling and had lost power.

The young Disciples of the Family on the flying boat were hiding in the center, trembling.

Most of them were below the Qi Refining Fifth Layer Realm, and the few who had combat power had never seen such a scene and had no courage to fight at all.

In contrast, the Disciples on the Joyful Union Sect side were full of fighting spirit and held the upper hand.

In the air, Liu Fuchen was fiercely battling Lin Zhishou and Lin Guangming.

He laughed wildly, his long sword like a swimming Dragon, infinitely exquisite, forcing the two to constantly retreat.

"Stop fighting like cornered beasts." His aged face was full of confidence.

The two remained silent, constantly unleashing spiritual energy without reservation.

They knew deeply that if the young Disciples on the flying boat were all captured, the Lin Family would suffer a huge blow.

At that time, they might not be able to recover within a century.

The only thing that made Lin Zhishou feel fortunate was that his two Disciples, Zhou Luo and Lin Xin, hadn't followed.

On the ground, Lin Family Cultivators kept falling. Out of the original dozens of guards, only a third remained.

But they couldn't retreat; they could only resist with their lives.

Now, their only hope was that the Family's reinforcements would arrive as soon as possible.

...

Lin Family.

In less than half an hour, Zhou Luo announced that he had found the key and told everyone to start Pill Refining.

These words greatly surprised the group of Alchemists.

They all asked about the principle of the detoxification Pill and the reason he was able to find it.

Zhou Luo had already prepared his explanation for this.

After roughly explaining, Lin Ze, Tenth Elder urged them to start Pill Refining quickly.

Currently, the entire Lin Family has at least six hundred people poisoned, a conservative estimate. The dozen or so Alchemists present each need to refine at least sixty Pills.

Fortunately, this detoxification Pill is a Medium Grade Pill. If it were High Grade, the workload would likely be even greater.

A quarter of an hour later, the first batch of detoxification Pills was refined.

Zhou Luo immediately gave them to his wife and son to take, and the effect was instantaneous.

This made everyone overjoyed.

Lin Ze, Tenth Elder quickly took the remaining detoxification Pills and gave them to the Family Cultivators to take.

Right now, they needed to restore the Family's fighting strength as quickly as possible.

Inside Maple Leaf City.

The usually bustling streets were now a mess.

Those commoner Cultivators were hiding at home and didn't dare to go out at all.

Only the Disciples of the Joyful Union Sect were rampaging on the streets.

At this moment, in front of the Lin Family auction house, that Middle-aged man was coldly staring at the slightly glowing formation.

The man was Liu Fuchen's eldest Disciple, Zhao Yuan's Senior Brother, named Wang Tong.

He was once a collateral descendant of the Wang Family, and by chance, he was favored by Liu Fuchen and taken as a Disciple.

With the help of the Joyful Union Sect's Yin-Harvesting and Yang-Replenishing method, he was now a Cultivator at the Qi Training stage, seventh level.

"Hurry up." Wang Tong said in a deep voice.

"Steward Wang, don't worry, this formation can last for at most the Time it takes to steep a cup of tea." A Disciple beside him spoke up.

"The Time it takes to steep a cup of tea is not short. Delay breeds trouble." Wang Tong said.

"Didn't the Lin Family activate their protective formation? They can't send reinforcements even if they wanted to." That person laughed.

Once the Family's protective formation is activated, it will isolate the inside from the outside, and those inside won't be able to come out.

The last time the Joyful Union Sect invaded, it was for this reason that Seventh Elder Lin Guangping was surrounded and severely injured.

Now, the Lin Family was in a state of panic, thinking the Joyful Union Sect was launching a full-scale invasion, so they activated the protective formation immediately.

But they didn't expect it was only a portion of the Disciples rampaging.

"They will react quickly." Wang Tong said.

To make the Lin Family wary, they kept creating a big commotion, creating the impression of a full-scale attack.

But this kind of thing couldn't be hidden.

Once the Lin Family noticed, they wouldn't be able to retreat unharmed.

"This is bad, Steward Wang."

Just then, an anxious voice rang out.

A flying shuttle streaked across the sky, and a man with a panicked expression jumped down from it.

"The Lin Family has deactivated the protective formation." He said in a terrified voice.

Wang Tong's face changed drastically: "How could it be so fast?"

According to his calculations, the Lin Family shouldn't have noticed so quickly.

The last time they launched a large-scale invasion of Maple Leaf City, the other party didn't close the formation until more than half a day later.

"I don't know, but a large number of guards have rushed out and are heading here." That person replied.

"A large number of guards? Have they already refined the detoxification Pills?"

Wang Tong frowned tightly, looking at the dimming formation, his face showing conflict.

This auction house is one of the Lin Family's most important businesses. If they could capture it, they could obtain a large amount of Cultivation resources.

"Our lives are more important, let's go." Wang Tong gritted his teeth and made a decision.

This raid was secondary; the key was Revered Master.

At the same Time, as more and more detoxification Pills were refined, the internal operations of the Lin Family, which had been close to paralysis, began to resume.

The Family Cultivators who first took the detoxification Pills all recovered their fighting strength.

At the same Time, the Family Elders also began to notice that this Time the Joyful Union Sect was likely a feint attack.

Because after removing the formation, there were no large numbers of Joyful Union Sect Disciples appearing, not even powerhouses at the Qi Training stage, eighth level or ninth level.

The remaining Elders no longer waited and all walked out of the Family.

After sensing the Lin Family's movements, the Joyful Union Sect Disciples scattered in all directions and fled towards outside the city.
