After giving it some thought, Li Yan ultimately agreed to help only one of them. Seeing this, the others could only give up. It was not yet a time when Pills absolutely had to be refined.
Moreover, they understood what "Zhuang Muhua" meant. This rest period was only two days in total. Even agreeing to help one person would take most of a day, or perhaps an entire day, to refine a batch of Pills.
Afterward, once "Zhuang Muhua" had finished refining pills, he would certainly need to cultivate and recover his strength. Naturally, he would not set out while weakened...
According to the suggestions the teams had given in the past, the three-month rest periods that came later usually lasted around ten days. With more time then, that was when people would seek out others to refine pills and repair magical treasures in earnest!
Li Yan accepted that cultivator's materials. His divine sense swept across the entire island, after which he headed toward one corner of it. There were slightly more trees there, making it a relatively quiet spot.
In the eyes of the others, it was precisely a good place for an alchemist to quietly refine pills. Li Yan soon arrived amid several trees and looked around. The nearest cultivator was also about a hundred zhang away.
He then swept his wide sleeve around him, and five or six formation flags flew out. They immediately hovered ten zhang around Li Yan, their reflected light bathing his entire body in white.
Standing in their midst, Li Yan extended one hand and rapidly formed hand seals. The formation flags around him suddenly dropped to the ground, and all light vanished.
At the same time, the surrounding trees, along with Li Yan's figure, disappeared as well. Only faint formation fluctuations remained.
