In fact, the master had arrived but had not noticed any signs.
He only instructed the disciples to temporarily avoid the bottom of the Meteorite Crater.
However, even when the disciples stayed in their quarters, they would occasionally foam at the mouth.
Some Elders were also caught in the crossfire.
A few days later.
"Have you heard?"
"Recently, those Senior Brothers from Refining Artifact Cloud Peak have been foaming at the mouth and collapsing on the ground in convulsions over trivial matters."
"I even encountered one; he extorted a bottle of precious Elixir from me!"
One Senior Brother from Alchemy Cloud Peak said resentfully, claiming that this method of extortion was despicable.
Moreover, it was one thing for an individual to do it, but for the entire Refining Artifact Cloud Peak to be involved? That was outrageous—was it a collective scam?
In just five days, Refining Artifact Cloud Peak had gained infamy, and other Senior Brothers would flee at the sight of them.
Meanwhile, the instigator Lin Qiubai remained silent, quietly observing the developments.
"It hasn't gone beyond control. How fortunate."
The Spirit listened and rolled its eyes. Was this still not out of control?
"Foaming at the mouth, convulsing on the ground—this should be a sign of fire poison. The Comet Flame inside the meteorite has been burning for millennia, with countless fire toxins settling at the bottom. Once that giant cauldron stirred it up, it spread out.
You better pray that the overflow of fire toxins is minimal. Otherwise... the entire Yun Yin Sect will suffer."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Lin Qiubai flipped over, clasped his hands behind his back, and nervously paced back and forth in the room.
"I need to go check the bottom; otherwise, if something really happens..."
Lin Qiubai gritted his teeth. Who knew it would sink into the meteorite?
If he had known this would happen, he should have thrown the giant cauldron into the wilderness back then.
But then again, the refining of the Sword Embryo would have failed as well; it was a dilemma.
"Decided. No matter what, I have to resolve this trouble tonight."
With a thought, Lin Qiubai prepared to teleport, risking sending the giant cauldron thousands of miles away if necessary.
With a plan in mind, Lin Qiubai calmed down and contemplated that scroll of King-Level Medium Quality defensive Martial Arts.
Heavenly Gate Bone Armor.
This Martial Arts originates from a peculiar Mystical Beast: the Heavenly Gate Bone Beast. At the top of its head grows a massive, hard bone that can expand and contract, protecting its throat.
It boasts an invincible defense.
Common enemies are completely helpless against this solid bone.
The founder studied the body of the Heavenly Gate Bone Beast and then created this Martial Arts.
Lin Qiubai pondered for a moment and felt it was rather useless.
Is it enough just to protect the throat?
There are countless ways to kill.
But there is only one way to protect oneself: eliminate the opponent.
Lin Qiubai truly had no interest in this Martial Arts.
It would be better to refine some Elixirs to alleviate fire poison.
Lin Qiubai's eyes lit up as he searched his memory and finally found a recipe for an Elixir that could counteract fire poison.
"It should be about right."
After analyzing for a moment, Lin Qiubai went to Alchemy Cloud Peak and began refining this Elixir.
After refining thirty batches, each containing twelve Elixirs, with a hundred percent success rate, the quality of the Elixirs was all three stripes, deemed perfect.
He closed the furnace.
Lin Qiubai looked at the sky and realized that night had fallen, so he stopped the Alchemy and hurried to Refining Artifact Cloud Peak.
It was a chaotic scene here.
The Senior Brothers were all pale.
Some were by the roadside, spitting out bitter water.
Those Senior Brothers who were more severely affected by the fire poison were convulsing as if they were having seizures.
Their faces were grim, with dark circles under their eyes, clearly suffering greatly.
Lin Qiubai felt quite guilty.
He grabbed one of the Senior Brothers and fed him an Elixir.
"Hmm? I feel so much better!"
This Senior Brother looked refreshed; the previous feeling of heaviness in his chest was completely gone.
"Take this and distribute it."
Lin Qiubai felt a sense of relief upon seeing the effects.
He laid out all the small bottles and jars, then waved his hand, preparing to explore the interior of the meteorite.
If the cauldron exploded...
The fire poison from the bottom would surge out, and it wouldn't just be a chaotic mess in Refining Artifact Cloud Peak.
The entire Yun Yin Sheng Zong would be in trouble.
Just thinking about the consequences was thrilling.
Lin Qiubai was ready to set off, with a righteous demeanor as if he were sacrificing himself for his country.
Suddenly, a delicate hand gently rested on Lin Qiubai's shoulder, and a fragrance unlike any ordinary scent wafted over.
Lin Qiubai paused and turned back in surprise.
It was Shang Yun.
She wore a royal family palace outfit, but it was different from ordinary palace attire. The pure white collar, like that of a gardenia flower, had no carvings of dragons or phoenixes.
On her left sleeve was a small seal character for "Shang."
The ink-colored lines flowed gracefully, resembling the curves of a beautiful woman.
The most significant change is in Shang Yun's demeanor. In the Prison of the Mind, she may have seemed somewhat abnormal, but at this moment, she resembles a queen, her phoenix-like eyes half-closed, concealing both aloofness and nobility.
"What are you doing? Sneaking around."
"I'm preparing... it's a long story. Just wait here for me; you'll understand soon."
Lin Qiubai certainly wouldn't tell Shang Yun that he had accidentally buried a bomb beneath Refining Artifact Cloud Peak that could explode at any moment.
Since he didn't plan to come clean and couldn't lie—lying was too troublesome—he could only leave Shang Yun waiting there for now.
However, when Lin Qiubai turned around, the entire Refining Artifact Cloud Peak began to tremble. The ground not far away started to crack.
Lin Qiubai was drenched in sweat as he turned with difficulty.
"Are you ready?"
"Hahaha... I'm ready! This is the Prosperous Era fireworks I've prepared for you; just watch."
Lin Qiubai stood side by side with Shang Yun.
Transforming into a mystic, he gently pressed his palm down.
The cracked ground of Yunfeng began to erupt in succession with Flame Pillars, reaching heights of three to four zhang, vivid as blood.
Flame Pillars surged from the ground, densely rising until they reached the horizon.
They illuminated half the sky.
Colorful clouds spanned across the heavens, creating a scene reminiscent of a vividly painted oil canvas.
"Surprised?"
Shang Yun leaned slightly against Lin Qiubai's shoulder, her phoenix-like eyes filled with ripples.
She gazed intently at the enduring fireworks of the Prosperous Era, as her youthful heart gradually replaced that of a queen.
Though she did not respond, her small hand fiddling with the hem of her clothes revealed her current mix of shyness and sweetness.
Lin Qiubai was sweating profusely.
He was here to save the world, not to flirt!
The entire Refining Artifact Cloud Peak was in chaos, with countless Senior Brother Lin and Elders floating in the Void, disheveled and looking panicked as they stared down at the Inferno below.
Hundreds of red Flame Pillars shot up into the sky.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Refining Artifact Cloud Peak has been breached!"
A somewhat dazed Senior Brother Lin shouted in panic.
He spoke, then foamed at the mouth, swaying unsteadily in the air.
But he dared not fall to the ground and convulse.
Below was Inferno, and if he fell into Inferno and started convulsing...
The scene would be too beautiful.
"Are you sure this is the right thing to do? You've destroyed Alchemy Cloud Peak."
Lin Qiubai felt a cold sweat; he knew the situation was serious.
Originally, the plan was to act secretly tonight and turn the tide, but he never expected that the Comet Flame underground would erupt directly... Now entering underground would definitely be seeking death.
Lin Qiubai fell silent for a moment, then spoke in a deeply affectionate tone, gently saying:
"What does it matter about The Fire and the Lords? As long as I can make a beautiful woman smile!"
Such sweet talk, how could Shang Yun possibly resist?
Her cheeks were as red as Consort when drunk, blood-red, while Amber's eyes were filled with a hazy intoxication...
