169: I regret it, I really regret it.

After discussion, those present quickly agreed to provide resources without limitation, with the Nine Families jointly funding it. The Heavenly Profound Sect, where Li Haotian resided, only needed to provide personnel, not funds.

The Extreme Pill Valley on the side was green with regret; such a young Prodigy could even research Pill Formulas. Why hadn't they investigated a little before deciding whether or not to give Little Fatty Bai away?

Especially the General of the Extreme Pill Valley, who felt utterly sick with regret. It was he who had coerced and lured Little Fatty Bai into the Heavenly Profound Sect's camp; otherwise, Little Fatty Bai would still be their person.

Li Haotian smiled, then stood up, grabbed Little Fatty Bai by the collar, and prepared to lead him out.

Crimson and Lin Tianxuan followed behind, while Wang Lin watched everything before him, grinding his teeth in anger.

The rest of the people also dispersed, and the meeting quickly concluded.

"Ask for plenty of resources this time. It's not our money anyway. Fleece those Local Tyrants for all they're worth; it's fine even if you empty them out. Your master supports you."

Li Haotian smiled faintly and patted Little Fatty Bai's back. The latter smiled in response and nodded.

Soon, batch after batch of Medicinal Pills were refined. The Materials used were basically the same, but the amount of hallucinogenic substances inside had been greatly reduced.

Aside from his original formula, when the ratio of these herbs changed, the effect of the Medicinal Pills also showed noticeable differences.

He had to find a stable value to condense the pill; otherwise, the Medicinal Pill wouldn't even be able to form. After the pill formed, he still had to consider its efficacy.

This Medicinal Pill was originally meant to aid in Cultivation, but now it had forcibly turned into an Illusion Medicinal Pill.

Therefore, the ratio of various medicinal herbs inside also needed to be changed. Little Fatty Bai began non-stop Alchemy, and after refining a batch of Medicinal Pills, he looked for people to test them.

Many people were willing to be his guinea pigs because they wanted to buy Little Fatty Bai's Medicinal Pills but couldn't. If they wanted him to sell them a few pills, they had to serve as guinea pigs; otherwise, there was no room for discussion.

Little Fatty Bai did not use these illusion-related Medicinal Pills on this group; instead, he gathered those who had once fallen into the illusion and remained dispirited, letting them try his illusion-breaking Medicinal Pills.

As for the others, they served as guinea pigs for his other Medicinal Pills.

Some Medicinal Pills could increase combat power during a fight, but afterward, they would lead to exhaustion, making it impossible to Cultivate for ten days.

Various Medicinal Pills had strong side effects but were also highly effective. Little Fatty Bai created all sorts of Medicinal Pills after undergoing numerous attempts.

Quite a few of these were favored by the Military and bought at high prices, while others were sold to Cultivators in the market.

In less than a month, this kid earned a fortune.

Subsequently, the Foreign Races resumed their attacks. This peace only lasted for half a month.

Following that were minor assaults every three days and major assaults every five days. Warfare flared up repeatedly on the city walls, as if they had returned to their previous days. This half-month period made everyone feel as though they had been separated from the world.

Little Fatty Bai had actually succeeded long ago in developing phased Medicinal Pills that could allow them to gradually break free from the illusion, starting with disillusionment regarding everything within the illusion.

They were immersed in the illusion undoubtedly because their lives were comfortable, so he created a Farmer Simulator.

Once these people consumed his Medicinal Pill, they would enter a ten-year period as farmers, forcing them to work tirelessly from dawn till dusk every day, with no time to enjoy life. If they stopped, they would feel unprecedented hunger and pain.

This was the terror of the illusion.

Once they broke free from the first illusion, they immediately consumed a second Medicinal Pill, allowing them to recall the deepest parts of their hearts, returning little by little to the Sect to begin Cultivating from the moment of their birth.

Starting from zero, their memories were revived, allowing them to rely on their previous memories to rediscover their Dao Heart.

It was like living a second life.

This process only took three days, and those whose minds were lost to the illusion would return to normal.

Little Fatty Bai looked at the Storage Pouches piled high in his room, an excited smile appearing on his face.

He ruthlessly profited, demanding quantities of various herbs ten times what was needed.

Moreover, some herbs were not even within the scope of his research; they were simply Materials he wanted to use to refine other Medicinal Pills, and since he wanted to save money by not buying them, he just asked for them directly.

Although the other powers were in a slump, they were still the Ten Great Powers with extremely strong foundations. Everyone pooled their funds and met his demands, and the results achieved were now perfect.

Little Fatty Bai was directly promoted to Myriad Commander because of this, and even Zhang Hai had to work under him.

"Junior Brother's skill is truly unmatched. To climb higher than me in such a short time—this merit is simply too great."

Zhang Hai looked with a wry smile at Little Fatty Bai, who was seated in the Myriad Commander position.

When the latter saw his Senior Brother arrive, he immediately grew excited. Before he could speak, he heard a reprimand from a subordinate nearby.

"Watch your tone! This is Lord Myriad Commander. Even if His Lordship's Cultivation is lower than yours, you are not qualified to call him Junior Brother."

Standing beside them was a very arrogant Chiliarch. This person had long disliked Zhang Hai. How could this fellow, who clearly didn't have such strong Cultivation and hadn't reached the Celestial Human realm, be on equal footing with him?

He obviously couldn't afford to provoke the Myriad Commander before him, but he dared to step on a Chiliarch who held the same rank as himself.

"Audacious! How dare you speak to my Senior Brother like that?"

Little Fatty Bai jumped up in anger, respectfully offered his seat to his Senior Brother, and then immediately called for men to drag the Chiliarch out and administer a beating.

"That's enough, Junior Brother, thank you. I know your intentions, but you should still sit in this position. After all, this is your merit. Your Senior Brother will grow little by little based on Military achievements."

Zhang Hai merely smiled, tried the seat for a moment, and quickly stood up. Little Fatty Bai chuckled foolishly twice; he knew just how strong his Senior Brother was.

Not long ago, he watched his Senior Brother's Cultivation advance from the Early Stage of Nirvana to the Peak of Nirvana.

When a Quasi-Emperor tried to launch a sneak attack on the previous Myriad Commander on the city wall, his Senior Brother immediately jumped up and fought the opponent.

Although his Senior Brother suffered minor injuries, the Quasi-Emperor Expert was indeed stopped outside the city wall. Relying solely on the strength of Peak Nirvana, he could challenge a Quasi-Emperor. If the fight had continued, Little Fatty Bai believed that if his Senior Brother used all his trump cards, that Quasi-Emperor would have to kneel and sing submission.

Facing this Senior Brother, he became even more respectful.

As for the fellow getting beaten outside the door, no one paid him any mind.
