Great Snow Mountain

The ship's private cabin was as warm as spring.

Luo Chen accepted the materials He Lianyun handed him, one prepared batch after another.

There was enough of each material for at least ten attempts.

And most were of exceptional quality!

Clearly, He Lianyun and the others had spared no expense to make the Nether Origin Pill.

"Isn't he deliberately finding fault?"

Fu Jiusheng smiled and explained, "You're not to blame, but Luo Chen might truly
