Meanwhile.
In a tavern in Demon Cloud City, Medicine Emperor Han Feng and the old man who had accompanied him both looked somewhat grave.
"Han Feng, is that a seventh-grade pill?!"
Beside Han Feng, the black-robed old man had taken off his hood, revealing his true appearance. His face was gaunt, his eyes gleamed like an eagle's, and terrifying Dou Qi energy radiated invisibly from his body.
