Chapter 78: Refining the Evil-Breaking Pill

"Very good, thank you." Xiao Ling smiled and nodded.

"Then I'll leave first, and it's up to you to do your best." Hai Bodong left the room after saying a word.

When he was the only one left in the room, Xiao Ling walked to the table and chairs in the center of the room.

His fingers brushed the ring slightly, and suddenly, the medicinal materials that Hai Bodong had given Xiao Ling appeared on the table.

He stretched out his hand again, and a medicine cauldron appeared beside the table and chairs. Although this medicine cauldron was not a medicine cauldron on the Tianding list, it was enough for Xiao Ling now.

Holding the prescription that recorded the refining method of "Evil-breaking Pill" in his hand, Xiao Ling began to read the refining method recorded on it.

In the original book, even Yao Chen, the first alchemist on the continent, made a mistake in refining the Evil-breaking Pill and wasted some medicinal materials.

Although it was because he was only in the soul state, his strength was not as good as before his death. However, with Yao Chen's rich experience in refining medicine, he failed once, which also shows that the method of refining this broken evil pill is quite complicated.

After memorizing the contents of the prescription, Xiao Ling took a deep breath and calmed down his emotions.

Walking to the medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling raised his arm and pressed it on the fire outlet of the medicine cauldron.

With a thought, the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame in his body drilled out from the Dou Crystal, along the tendons and veins in his body, and jumped into the medicine cauldron.

When the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame appeared, a scorching temperature filled the room.

After burning the medicine cauldron with the Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame, Xiao Ling stretched out his hand and waved his palm rapidly on the table beside him. One by one, the priceless medicinal herbs were held in his hand, and then these medicinal herbs were sent into the medicine cauldron.

After all the herbs were put into the medicine cauldron, Xiao Ling's hand left the medicine cauldron. His face was calm. His white hand suddenly waved rapidly like picking leaves from flowers. As his fingertips flicked, the hot golden flames in the medicine cauldron turned into several small flames, wrapping the herbs that were put in.

In order to refine the broken evil pill in one go, Xiao Ling was very energetic and required perfection in every step.

In the quiet room, the golden flames jumped between the medicine cauldrons, and the faint fragrance of medicine filled the air.

…

Gama Empire, Wutan City.

A carriage with the royal emblem of the Gama Empire drove into Wutan City from the city gate.

Behind the carriage, there were more than fifty royal guards wearing light armor. The murderous aura exuded from each soldier showed that these people were experienced fighters on the battlefield.

Sitting in the carriage, Yaoyue stretched out a sharp wrist, opened a corner of the curtain, and looked at the buildings of Wutan City with interest.

"Is this the place where Xiao Ling, the "first genius of the Jiama Empire", lived when he was a child? I wonder if I will encounter some interesting things here." Yaoyue muttered to herself.

At that time, I was still learning alchemy from Vice President Mitchell in the Alchemist Union, but my sister came to me and wanted me to go to Wutan City.

Originally, Yaoyue was going to refuse. Wutan City, which was a remote small city that I had never heard of.

However, I heard from my sister that this was the place where Xiao Ling, the "first genius of the Jiama Empire", was born, and this time I went there to escort Xiao Ling's people to live in the imperial capital.

As the little princess of the Jiama Empire, Yaoyue naturally knew about Xiao Ling's news. So she was also interested in the place where he was born.

Moreover, Xiao Yan, who his teacher mentioned from time to time, seemed to be from the Xiao family in Wutan City. He could go and see what kind of strange person he was, that even his teacher could not see any problems with him.

Under the awe-inspiring gaze of the residents of Wutan City, the royal guards arrived in front of the Xiao family's courtyard and stopped.

The middle-aged officer in the lead waved to the subordinate beside him, and the subordinate got off the horse and came to the Xiao family's guard and said, "Hello, we are the royal guards, here to pick up the Xiao family members to the imperial capital."

The Xiao family's guard captain had already received information from the clan, claiming that the Jiama Empire's guards would arrive in the next few days.

The guard captain replied to the soldier, "I will inform the clan leader first, everyone go to the reception hall to rest, the clan leader will come soon."

After the words fell, he muttered a few words to a guard beside him, and then walked towards the clan leader's office.

The guard led the royal guards to the reception hall of the Xiao family.

After the captain of the guards reported, the clan leader Xiao Zhan immediately led several elders to solemnly welcome the royal guards.

The two sides set the itinerary, and everyone will set off for the imperial capital tomorrow morning.

On the last night of leaving Wutan City, Xiao Zhan also invited the leaders of all forces in Wutan City to come to the Xiao family to hold a dinner.

The clan leaders of the other two families in Wutan City, Jialebi, the clan leader of the Jiale family, and Obapa, the clan leader of the Oba family, naturally received Xiao Zhan's invitation.

The clan leaders of the three families, who were originally somewhat hostile, now drank at the dinner because the Xiao family was about to leave Wutan City.

…

While the dinner was going on, Xiao Yan was wandering around the Xiao family alone. As the third young master of the Xiao family, he was naturally qualified to attend the banquet, but he felt that it was boring to sit in the hall after dinner alone, so Xiao Yan left the banquet early.

He cut off a dogtail grass on the roadside and held it in his mouth. Xiao Yan tasted the slight bitterness it exuded, walked to the pond in the backyard of the Xiao family, lay on the grass, and enjoyed the cool evening breeze.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came from far away and reached Xiao Yan's ears.

Xiao Yan looked in the direction of the sound, and a girl was walking on the bluestone path towards the pond.

The person who appeared was wearing a purple dress with silver patterns. She had an exquisite appearance. Under the influence of the royal family, she exuded an innate noble temperament. Her slender waist was tied with a purple belt, which showed off her slender waist to the fullest. She didn't seem to be very old, and looked about the same age as Xiao Yan now. She had a smile on her pretty face, which made her look elegant and peaceful. However, every time she glanced around, Xiao Yan found that this seemingly ladylike girl had some quirky smiles in her watery eyes. Obviously, she was not a quiet person as she seemed.
