Sovereign, Minister, Assistant, and Envoy
Heng Cheng and Rong Jingyun found the little boy in the Cave that Song Wen had mentioned.
The little boy had fainted due to hunger and severe dehydration, and his hands and feet were tied with rope. If no one came to his rescue, he probably wouldn't live to see tomorrow.
Looking at the little boy whose life was hanging by a thread, Heng Cheng's eyes were filled with rage and murderous intent.
Even Rong Jingyun looked furious.
Those who cultivate themselves are generally indifferent to human life, and even more so to the lives of strangers. However, cultivators generally do not kill mortals without reason.
Even when demonic cultivators slaughter mortals for their own cultivation, they kill them with a single blow, giving them a quick death. Of course, some ghost cultivators, in order to extract resentment from mortals, will torture them to death, but that's another matter.
The fact that it was his own mother who bound and abandoned the boy makes it even more infuriating.
"I will definitely Jing Yu to pieces."
Heng Cheng's eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.
After seeing his son's miserable state, he completely believed what Song Wen had said.
Rong Jingyun took out a pill, put it into an empty jade bottle, poured in some water to dissolve it, and fed it to the child. The child's complexion visibly improved.
"Let's go, let's find that adulterous couple in the market."
As soon as he finished speaking, the spaceship soared into the sky.
When they arrived at Small Courtyard number 87, the Small Courtyard was deserted, Jing Yu had long since disappeared.
"Run? Do you think you can escape!"
Rong Jingyun piloted the spaceship and arrived at the market enforcement team again, where she found Elder Wang once more.
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but the enforcement team belongs to the sect and is established to safeguard the peace of East Birch Market. It is not the enforcement team of any one person, and we cannot mobilize it for your personal matters."
Elder Wang directly and bluntly rejected the two of them.
"You..." Heng Cheng glared angrily.
Elder Wang disregarded the bond between fellow disciples and stood idly by, which truly angered him.
Rong Jingyun, on the contrary, maintained a calm expression. The white Jade Slip reappeared in her hand, and she presented Jade Slip to Elder Wang.
"I wonder if this summons Jade Slip will allow the enforcement team to be dispatched?"
Elder Wang stared at the Jade Slip, his expression turning somewhat unpleasant; this slap in the face had come far too quickly.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute, bowed, and said, "Greetings, Elder of the Pavilion."
Elders also have different ranks. Elder Wang is just an ordinary steward elder in the Beast Taming Sect, while Rong Jingyun is the highest-ranking, a guardian elder who holds a summons Jade Slip.
"I will immediately mobilize the enforcement team to fully cooperate with you two."
Murders occur frequently in East Birch Market, and although most are left unsolved, there are still some skilled trackers within the law enforcement team.
With Jing Yu's portrait in hand, they quickly tracked down to the Inn where Xu Zheng was staying. Although Xu Zheng had already left, they obtained Xu Zheng portrait from the Inn.
With the two men's portraits, and by mobilizing all sorts of people in the market, their whereabouts were found in less than half an hour.
As evening fell, Jing Yu and Xu Zheng purchased a flying boat from a Law Artifact shop and left from the north side of the market.
The enforcement team mobilized hundreds of disciples, and after several hours of pursuit, they captured the two men who had fled hundreds of miles away at dawn.
However, only Xu Zheng returned alive; Jing Yu was now a cold corpse.
Her eyes bulged out, as if she had experienced something unbelievable before she died, and she died with her eyes open in disbelief.
Looking at Jing Yu's body, whose soul had already dissipated, Heng Cheng was very unwilling. It was too easy for Jing Yu to die like this.
Heng Cheng's fury, which seemed to devour people, terrified Xu Zheng, who was kneeling to the side.
He suddenly realized that perhaps by ambushing and killing Jing Yu on the way, he was actually helping her, and he would have to face Heng Cheng's endless rage alone, suffering inhuman torment and unable to live or die.
At the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), Song Wen returned to the market. Under the cover of night, he went directly into the courtyard of number thirty-six next door.
In the underground secret room.
Song Wen summoned a female Black Armor Gu and began feeding it Silverhorn Grass.
He himself began to study Rong Jingyun's Alchemy insights.
Song Wen now only knows how to refine Blood Qi Pill; he buys all other pills directly, as his understanding of Alchemy is not deep.
With Rong Jingyun's Alchemy insights, he could greatly improve his understanding of Dao of Alchemy, making it easier for him to develop new Blood Qi Pill.
When he saw the method for refining the Beast Brocade Pill, he had a different idea.
Although he obtained a considerable amount of Beast Brocade Pill today, they will eventually run out. If he could refine these pills himself, the future growth of the Sacred Beetle Gu would be guaranteed.
However, with Song Wen's current Alchemy skills, he is still unable to refine a second-tier elixir, the Beast Brocade Pill.
After carefully studying the Alchemy manual several times, Song Wen roughly understood that the spirit medicine in each Pill Formula could be divided into four categories.
Ruler, minister, assistant, envoy.
The principal ingredient is the main ingredient, an indispensable component in Pill Formula.
Assistant medicine: assists the principal medicine and enhances the medicinal properties of the elixir.
Adjuvant medicine: An auxiliary medicine that harmonizes the properties of various spirit medicine and assists in the formation of the elixir.
Guide drug: also known as the drug guide, which promotes the efficacy of the elixir.
Song Wen pondered the Blood Qi Pill formula, categorizing each spiritual herb in the formula into four categories to facilitate his improvement of the formula and the refining of a stronger Blood Qi Pill.
Based on his experience conducting experiments in his previous life, Song Wen prepared different control groups, recorded the results while Alchemy, and finally compared Alchemy results to find the best formula.
Song Wen's approach to improving the Pill Formula was to increase the dosage of the principal ingredient, Crimson Blood-Red Vine, to enhance the medicinal properties of the elixir, and to experiment with different proportions of other spirit medicine in order to ensure that the elixir could ultimately be successfully formed.
After more than twenty days of tireless and uninterrupted attempts, Song Wen finally succeeded in refining a new Blood Qi Pill, producing a total of three pills.
The three pills were still blood red, but they were much larger than before.
Common pills are usually only the size of a little finger, but these three pills are the size of a thumb, at least three or four times larger in volume.
Looking at the pill in his hand, Song Wen hesitated.
Judging from their appearance and smell, Song Wen could not see anything wrong with these three pills.
But thinking of the tragic fates of Extreme Yin, Second Ox, and others who consumed the Blood Qi Pill, Song Wen dared not take it lightly.
"Perhaps we could follow the example of Extreme Yin and find people to test the medicine on."
Song Wen put the medicine in his pocket and left the Small Courtyard.
Without wasting any time in the market, Song Wen headed straight out of it.
After leaving the market town, Song Wen found a secluded spot and set sail in his boat.
Before long, he arrived at the mountains more than three thousand li east of the market town.
This place Rogue Cultivator with Demon Beast and is a frequent hunting ground for rogue cultivators.
Song Wen planned to find a Demon Beast first to test the elixir.
After walking a short distance in the mountains, Song Wen saw a fox spirit the size of a small wolf.
The fox demon, its body entirely crimson and Qi Refining Seventh Layer of Qi Refining, was devouring a wild boar Demon Beast it had just caught.
Song Wen's sudden appearance caused the fox demon to bristle instantly. It neither fled nor launched a rash attack, but simply bared its teeth and stared at Song Wen with a fierce expression.
