150: The third apprentice

Wang Lin glanced at everyone and returned to his seat with a gloomy expression. This meeting was naturally to discuss why the alien race had retreated so quickly, and what defensive measures to take when they attacked next time.

This time, many powerful Cultivators had been targeted. The frequency of Shadow Clan Powerhouses appearing on the battlefield was increasing; they seemed to be hunting down the Human Race's officer class, bit by bit.

Now, besides a few generals, even Myriad Commanders were starting to be attacked.

"I think the reason they retreated this time likely lies with the Shadow Clan. The Shadow Clan Powerhouses failed for the first time; their poison did not take effect on Crimson, which might have made them realize the danger, so they retreated first."

Liu Chen voiced his guess, sharing it with everyone without reservation.

"Our people from the Emerald Bird Pavilion reported that they didn't retreat far, just resting a hundred miles away. I estimate that after replenishing their troops, they will launch a second attack. This time, they must have been scared off."

Wang Lin also produced a battle report. Their Emerald Bird Pavilion was famous for assassinations, using extreme speed and fierce attack methods to kill opponents as quickly as possible. The Emerald Bird Pavilion could be considered a large-scale assassin organization.

Usually, whether for gathering information or delivering intelligence, everyone was willing to use Emerald Bird Pavilion Powerhouses because their speed was simply too fast.

"If you ask me, he was only able to save Crimson because of good Luck, just happening to carry a few Medicinal Pills. We tried so many Medicinal Pills before, and none of them had any effect in treating this kind of poison. This guy, on the other hand, just casually tossed one out and succeeded."

Wang Lin's sarcastic voice came through. Li Haotian frowned slightly. This guy really had a problem with his brain; he was a total second-generation immortal.

The value and combat power he had displayed already made him someone very worthy of befriending. Apart from everyone at the meeting, others were subtly showing him goodwill.

Only this guy, because he had stolen his thunder or for some other reason, kept looking for trouble with him. It was truly annoying.

"You say that quite lightly. You used so many Medicinal Pills, why didn't you ever succeed?"

Crimson spoke up passionately and rolled her eyes, a look of disdain on her face. This guy usually liked to target people close to him; he had driven away quite a few suitors before. Crimson certainly knew what he was thinking, but she despised Wang Lin from the bottom of her heart.

Wang Lin's face turned even uglier upon hearing this. Seeing the situation becoming awkward, Zhang Sanquan hurriedly stepped out to smooth things over.

"You..."

A terrifying aura surged forth. Wang Lin stood up abruptly, staring at Li Haotian with an indifferent gaze.

"Kid, if you're a real man, do you dare to have a fight with me?"

Wang Lin narrowed his eyes, looking full of Killing Intent. Li Haotian didn't want to bother with a guy like this at all and simply turned his head away.

If it weren't for the fact that the other party was a Powerhouse from one of the Ten Great Powers, he would have definitely struck to kill him. Right now, he didn't want to make enemies with other major powers.

"Alright, alright, everyone calm down. Since Crimson is standing here safe and sound, that is the best outcome. Chief Li, do you have the recipe for that Medicinal Pill?"

Flame Princess looked at Li Haotian with burning eyes.

Li Haotian shook his head.

"This kind of Medicinal Pill was not easy for me to obtain either; I don't have many in total. In terms of grade, it should be a Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill. The process of refining this kind of Medicinal Pill is extremely difficult; even for a Heaven-Grade Alchemist, it is quite hard to refine, and the success rate is extremely low."

Hearing the words "Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill," everyone present widened their eyes, expressions of disbelief on their faces. They even suspected that something was wrong with their ears and had misheard.

Heaven Rank Medicinal Pills could be said to be extremely rare existences. Even the most ordinary Heaven Rank Medicinal Pill was hard to come by. Medicinal Pills were already things with very high prices, let alone Heaven Rank ones.

A life-saving Heaven Rank healing Medicinal Pill could probably not be exchanged for, even if one used the entire net worth of a Heaven Sovereign.

Hearing this, Crimson stood up somewhat excitedly and threw her arms around Li Haotian.

"Thank you, my dear!"

She certainly knew the value and worth of this Medicinal Pill. The fact that the other party was willing to use such a Medicinal Pill on her was simply a pure loss-making deal.

Li Haotian pushed Crimson aside, a helpless smile on his face.

"Don't overthink it. I was just saving a colleague. If any of you others were injured, I would also take out Medicinal Pills to save you, but I don't have many of these Medicinal Pills either."

Crimson thought Li Haotian was just being shy, so she immediately broke into a bright smile and nodded.

"I believe you!"

Crimson's actions left everyone present feeling somewhat bewildered.

"Can this kind of Medicinal Pill be simplified? If the poison is minor, is it possible to spend fewer Materials, or after condensing a furnace of Medicinal Pills, knead them into smaller individual pills, or dissolve them in water?"

Flame Princess seemed unwilling to give up. Crimson thought about it for a moment, then immediately nodded: "Such a method is indeed possible, because I can feel that the massive amount of medicinal power contained within that Medicinal Pill was only consumed by less than 1/10. The remaining medicinal power all turned into my Cultivation. I feel like I can step into the Heaven Sovereign realm tonight!"

Li Haotian frowned, but an idea also sprouted in his heart. If this kind of Medicinal Pill could effectively restrain the Shadow Clan, that would indeed be a good thing.

【A Disciple possessing Luck has been detected. Host, please accept a Disciple. Coordinates: on the city wall eighty miles to the east. Disciple name: Little Fatty Bai. Upon successful apprenticeship, you will be rewarded with the simplified recipe for the Hundred Revolutions Soul Returning Pill, as well as the techniques and memories of a Peak Heaven-Grade Alchemist.】

After the System's voice faded, a look of great joy immediately appeared on Li Haotian's face.

"This kind of Medicinal Pill does exist, and I am indeed clear on the simplified recipe. As for how much it needs to be simplified, we need to get some poison to conduct experiments and test it. However, I also have one request that I hope everyone can fulfill."

Li Haotian rested his chin on his hand, looking at everyone present with great interest. Expressions of confusion appeared on the faces of those present; this guy wasn't planning to make an exorbitant demand, was he?

"I spotted a Disciple while I was fighting, and I want to take him as my Disciple. However, he seems to be one of your people from the several major powers, so, well..."

Li Haotian smiled, and everyone immediately understood.

"It's just one Disciple; compared to the recipe for such a Medicinal Pill, the difference is far too great. I think no matter which Sect the Disciple belongs to, he shouldn't be so precious that he can't be exchanged for this Medicinal Pill that suppresses deadly poison. But since Chief Li has made such a request, we shouldn't refuse. Everyone, let's follow Chief Li and go take a look at that Disciple."

Zhang Sanquan stretched his muscles. He didn't know about these twists and turns; he just wanted to get a few Medicinal Pills for his Personal Disciple or for those Elders of his to hold onto.
