Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pill! [Seeking Flowers, Collections, and Reviews!]

Yuan Family.

Inside the meeting hall.

The atmosphere was deathly still, many high-ranking members silent.

"So many days have passed, and still no news of Madman Drake. I need not say what has happened, do I, esteemed members present?"

Yuan Family Head Yuan Feihe said coldly.

"Without a doubt, the Zhang Family is protecting him!"

A Intermediate Martial Master spoke gravely.

"And the protection is very strong... Madman Drake's assassination skills are certainly not low. Even if he couldn't win, he should have been able to escape with his life!"

"At least an Intermediate Martial Master made a move!"

Another Yuan Family high-ranking member analyzed.

The others silently nodded in agreement.

Indeed, who would have thought that Madman Drake, a renowned figure among assassins, would be killed by a mere Senior Quasi-Warrior?

The most likely suspect naturally became the Zhang Family.

"The Zhang Family's Guest Elder was supposed to protect the Zhang Family, yet instead is being protected by them... This shows the news is completely true. This Guest Elder must be a genius among geniuses!"

"Currently, the Zhang Family has completely sealed off the news, not even a whisper leaking out. I had thought we could get a third party to intervene and resolve this, keeping our Yuan Family out of it... But given the current situation, our Yuan Family has no choice left!"

Yuan Feihe's eyes flickered with killing intent. "Yuan Qi!"

"Family Head."

A Intermediate Martial Master stood up.

"From now on, secretly search Base Number Seven for anyone surnamed Su who is seventeen years old!"

"As long as they have any spiritual energy fluctuation, kill them on the spot!"

Yuan Feihe's voice was ice-cold.

"Yes, Family Head!" The Intermediate Martial Master nodded and accepted the order.

Everyone present inexplicably felt a chilling, murderous aura.

The Family Head was getting serious!

They all knew that this highly talented little brat was completely doomed!

"All done!"

On the other side, Su Xiaobai was completely unaware that the Yuan Family had begun a serious search for him.

But just in case, when buying the medicinal ingredients needed for the Grade Four Pill, Su Xiaobai made sure to cover his face and visit several places in Base Number Seven, spending nearly a million Spirit Coins before finally gathering all the herbs!

"System, I want to refine pills!"

Back home, Su Xiaobai directly commanded.

"Host, please place the alchemy materials and select the pill you wish to refine!"

Following the system's prompts, Su Xiaobai put all the materials inside.

"Scanning host's brain... Scanned 'Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pill' formula!"

"Materials automatically placed!"

"Refining in progress..."

As the system's prompts sounded, all the materials were placed into the Alchemy Furnace, the lid closed, and a colorful progress bar appeared.

Still five minutes.

It seemed that no matter what grade of pill was being refined, the time required was the same.

From this point alone, the One-Click Alchemy function was enough to drive countless alchemists mad!

The higher the grade of the pill, the more time it took to refine.

Some alchemists, to refine a slightly higher-grade pill, would go without sleep for an entire month—not a rare occurrence!

And even then, there was no guarantee of perfect success.

Only Su Xiaobai.

No need to sit for a month.

No need to worry about failure.

Just patiently wait five minutes, and then—

"Ding! Successfully refined pill: Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pill x3!"

Done!

Hearing this heavenly, beautiful prompt, Su Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up.

With a single thought, three scorching pills, emitting faint yellow mist and gleaming like golden glass beads, materialized in his palm.

A fourth-grade Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pill.

As its name suggested, its purpose was to protect the meridians!

Many people craved it... Advanced Warriors, Beginner Martial Masters, Intermediate Martial Masters, and even Advanced Martial Masters all relied on its aid!

As everyone knew, when a martial artist broke through to a higher realm, they needed to calm their mind and continuously assault the barriers and shackles. Only after shattering them could they break through the bottleneck and leap into a new level.

During the breakthrough, you had to mobilize all the spiritual energy in your body, washing and impacting your meridians over and over to achieve the effect of breaking down those barriers.

This process carried risks.

If anything went wrong, your meridians could be damaged!

At the mildest, you'd cough up blood and need to rest for ten days to half a month, or even longer.

In severe cases, your meridians would be severely injured, leaving permanent internal damage, and you'd almost completely lose the prospect of further advancement!

This was why some martial artists remained stuck for life.

Similarly, it was why martial artists would rather spend a fortune on these pills... because their future was far more important than Spirit Coins!

"One fourth-grade Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pill is said to be worth at least ten thousand Spirit Coins, and it's in short supply even at that price!"

"So right now, I've got thirty thousand just like that!"

"If I can cash this in, this business is even more profitable than Automated Monster Hunting!"

Su Xiaobai's heart surged with excitement.

He'd only spent a day running around the city, gathered some herbs, came back, waited five minutes, and earned thirty thousand... such a good deal would be hard for anyone to believe if he told them!

But the fact was exactly that!

The only difficulty was how to smoothly cash in these three fourth-grade Golden Crow Marrow-Protecting Pills!

"When I bought the herbs today, the shopkeeper mentioned that the Precious Pill Pavilion is a massive pill marketplace with branches in many bases, and it's also a giant in the pill auction scene... maybe I could try consigning them for auction at the Precious Pill Pavilion," Su Xiaobai mused.

The bigger the venue, the less likely it was to cause trouble.

Only small-time places would try any shady tricks.

"But just in case, I need to be fully prepared..."

The next day, a figure clad in a black cloak, a black mask, and gloves, with less than one percent of their skin exposed, appeared at the entrance of the Precious Pill Pavilion.

Who else could it be but Su Xiaobai?

At first, Su Xiaobai thought his outfit was a bit conspicuous... all in black, dressed so covertly, wasn't that just asking for suspicion?

But after arriving at the Precious Pill Pavilion, Su Xiaobai realized he wasn't the only one doing this—many others were too!

Some wore masks.

Some wore face coverings.

The most extreme even wore hoods!

There was no helping it—pills were valuable.

If someone got their eyes on you, that would be a disaster.

Seeing this, Su Xiaobai breathed a slight sigh of relief, then walked over to the consignment counter.

"I want to consign some pills."
