Two Days in a Hurry

Two days passed in a flash, marked by the icy supervision of Yao Chen and the desperate, mechanical labor of Han Feng.

In a corner of the small courtyard, within a crude alchemy area specifically cleared for Han Feng, Yao Chen watched with an expressionless face as Han Feng manipulated the Sea Heart Flame to cast the final few medicinal herbs into the cauldron.

Han Feng's eyes were hollow, yet his movements were incredibly precise due to the terrifying restriction deep within his soul; he dared not make the slightest error or show any slack.

Finally, accompanied by a surge of energy, a pill the size of a dragon's eye, emitting a strange luster, flew out from the cauldron and was snatched into Yao Chen's hand.

A peak sixth-tier pill, the Pill of Breaking Sect; a single pill formed, of superior quality.

Yao Chen inspected the pill, a flash of complexity crossing his eyes. The alchemy talent of this rebellious disciple was truly beyond reproach; even under such a state of mind, he could still consistently produce high-quality pills.

He let out a cold snort, stored the pill in a jade bottle, and without sparing another glance at the nearly collapsed Han Feng, turned and walked toward Lin Hai, who was sitting quietly to the side.

"My Lord, the Pill of Breaking Sect has been refined." Yao Chen respectfully offered the jade bottle.

Lin Hai took the bottle, swept his divine sense over it, and nodded slightly. This blade, Han Feng, though filthy, was indeed sharp and useful.

He did not linger for a moment; he rose, took a single step, and his figure vanished.

Deep within the heavily guarded secret palace of the Gama Empire.

Jia Xingtian was pacing anxiously, the worry between his brows growing heavier by the day.

The oppressive pressure from the Misty Cloud Sect was like dark clouds hanging over his head, yet the mysterious expert who had promised to help him break through to the Dou Zong realm had yet to follow up, leaving him unable to eat or sleep in peace.

Suddenly, the space before him rippled like water, and a green-robed figure appeared without warning, as if he had been there all along.

Jia Xingtian was so startled he nearly struck out, but upon recognizing the visitor, he abruptly reined in his surging Dou Qi. His heart hammered against his ribs as he hurriedly bowed, his voice filled with agitation and awe: "My Lord! You have come!"

Lin Hai did not waste words; he simply flicked his finger, and the jade bottle containing the Pill of Breaking Sect drifted slowly toward Jia Xingtian.

"The Pill of Breaking Sect. It will increase your chances of a breakthrough by a few levels. Consume it once you are fully prepared." Lin Hai's voice was flat and devoid of emotion.

Jia Xingtian scrambled to catch the bottle, his hands trembling uncontrollably with excitement.

He carefully removed the stopper, and a refreshing fragrance that made the spiritual energy in his body leap with joy instantly spilled out. Just by taking a single breath, the peak Spirit Emperor barrier that had trapped him for decades seemed to loosen!

It was real! It was truly the Pill of Breaking Sect! And the quality was exceptionally high!

A wave of overwhelming ecstasy instantly clouded Jia Xingtian's mind. His old eyes even grew moist as he dropped to one knee with a thud, his voice choked with emotion: "Many thanks for your generous gift, My Lord! The Gama Imperial Family will never forget this grace! This one swears to serve you unto death!"

With this pill, he had hope of breaking through to the Spirit Sect realm, and the crisis facing the imperial family could be resolved! Every sacrifice had been worth it!

"Mm." Lin Hai responded indifferently. "Have Yaoye mobilize fifteen Great Spirit Masters; I am taking them with me."

Jia Xingtian did not hesitate for even a fraction of a second, immediately saying: "Yes! Yes! This Humble One will prepare them at once. Yaoye... it is her good fortune to follow you!" The guilt he had felt over sacrificing his great-granddaughter was now completely washed away by the ecstasy of his impending breakthrough.

Once the personnel were assembled, Lin Hai walked out of the secret palace.

On the plaza outside the hall, Yaoye wore tight-fitting attire that outlined her slender yet powerful figure, her beautiful face carrying a trace of undisguisable complexity and resolve.

Behind her stood fifteen elite guards, all peak Great Spirit Masters with fierce auras and sharp eyes; these were the death soldiers meticulously cultivated by the imperial family.

Seeing Lin Hai emerge, everyone's gaze instantly focused on him, filled with awe, curiosity, and a hint of unease.

Yaoye took a deep breath, stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and spoke in a cold, firm voice: "Yaoye, leading fifteen imperial guards, awaits your command, My Lord!"

The fifteen Great Spirit Masters behind her also knelt in unison, the clashing of their armor ringing out sharply: "We are willing to die for you, My Lord!"

Lin Hai swept his gaze over them, feeling reasonably satisfied. He looked at Yaoye; this woman's temperament was indeed excellent, as she could maintain such composure and poise in the face of an unknown fate.

"Rise. Follow me."

Without further words, Lin Hai swept his sleeve, and an invisible force of space instantly enveloped Yaoye and the fifteen guards.

Yaoye felt a blur before her eyes as the surrounding scenery twisted and changed violently. A powerful sensation of spatial tearing followed, leaving her unable to even think.

After only a breath or two, her feet touched solid ground, and the surroundings had completely changed.

It was no longer the palace plaza, but a seemingly ordinary family courtyard.

The fifteen Great Spirit Masters behind her were stumbling, their faces deathly pale, and many were bent over retching, clearly unable to adapt to such an ultra-long-distance instant spatial teleportation.

Yaoye suppressed the raging waves in her heart, quickly steadied herself, and looked with shocked eyes at the green-robed back standing before her with hands clasped behind him.

Covering the distance of the world in a single step, shrinking the earth into an inch! What kind of heaven-defying means was this?!

The last trace of reluctance and doubt in her heart vanished completely at this moment, replaced by deep awe and... a hint of indescribable agitation.

Following such an expert, perhaps... this was truly an unimaginable stroke of fortune.
