Mo Hua gradually pieced it together.
When Black Mountain Stronghold had been breached, the Pill Furnace had been destroyed, yet the pig was gone. There had not even been a great pool of blood on the ground. That meant the pig had been moved away beforehand—and had never appeared again afterward.
The Evil Cultivators of Black Mountain Stronghold were either dead or captured. None had escaped. Only that pig had vanished.
This meant that pig was extremely important—perhaps even more important than Black Mountain Stronghold and all its Evil Cultivators combined.
Everyone, Mo Hua included, had overlooked this.
Why had the Evil Cultivators fed people to that pig? Because the pig was the true Pill Furnace used for Alchemy.
Feeding people to the pig was the same as tossing people into a Pill Furnace as medicinal ingredients.
Black Mountain Stronghold had kept feeding people to the pig, which meant the elixir was still being refined.
Or rather, the Life-Turning Yuan Pill had been undergoing refinement for a very long time. It was even possible that it had already been completed.
After all, no one knew exactly how long Black Mountain Stronghold had been feeding people to that pig.
After the discussion ended, they returned and mobilized manpower. The next day, they entered the Deep Mountain of Little White Mountain and began a thorough search of the mountain.
"Quickly invite Chief Administrator Zhou, Elder Shou Huayuan, and the An Family Head over. Tell them we have a matter of utmost urgency to discuss!"
A group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators immediately surrounded Mo Hua protectively as they began searching the Deep Mountain for the lairs of seventh-grade monsters...
The Dao Soldier accepted the order and rushed off. Within less than half an hour, everyone had gathered in one place.
Seventh-grade monsters
