Chapter 85

For example, some materials have a higher concentration of Power of Starlight, some are better at restoring health and stopping bleeding, and some can even help with breaking through realms...

In short, many materials under these broad categories are interchangeable. Of course, it takes many trials to summarize a mature and harmless prescription.

Jiang Yuqing was talented in alchemy and possessed sufficient knowledge; secondly, he could quickly experiment and learn from mistakes by accelerating the alchemy process.

While others need three hours to refine pills, he only needs three seconds, giving him more opportunities to experiment and make mistakes.

Anyone else, faced with this mountain of materials, would have needed several years to find the formulas for the Star Recovery Pill and the Realm-Breaking Pill.

Jiang Yuqing only consumed 2000 Shock Points to figure out a suitable pill formula.

After receiving the Realm-Breaking Pill, the Little Ox was moved to tears and said, "Thank you, big... big brother."

The pills were clearly made by Jiang Yuqing, but Little Ox didn't even glance at him, his heart filled with gratitude towards Li Yang.

Jiang Yuqing: "..."

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +100 points.]

Sometimes he was quite impressed with himself, that he could be so shocked by such trivial matters.

As for why it was so shocking?

They were probably stunned by Li Yang's damn personal charm.

In this way, the three of them gradually entered a positive cycle.

With enough Star Recovery Pill, Li Yang could not only deal with the Astral Realm creatures at night, but also harvest Star Plant more freely, and even restore the Power of Starlight the Little Ox.

After successfully breaking through the barrier, the Little Ox was indeed able to plant more Star Plant.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yuqing continued to produce and sell their own elixirs and refine pills for everyone.

The next day, the half-dead attacker slowly woke up.

Li Yang sensed it immediately and appeared in front of him in an instant.

Upon seeing Li Yang, the man's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he shouted, "You're just a mere Plow Ox Clan..."

With a snap.

Li Yang punched him in the face.

The man spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with terror.

Li Yang asked, "Who sent you?"

The man looked at Li Yang, his expression shifting unpredictably, clearly having guessed something. "You're not from the Plow Ox Clan..."

"I'll ask you questions, you answer them. Stop talking nonsense."

"I won't say anything, just kill me!"

Li Yang chuckled and asked Jiang Yuqing in his Spirit Sea, "Do you have any torturous pill formulas?"

Jiang Yuqing: "???"

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]

What's this guy up to?

Are we going to torture that adorable Little Ox? Or are we going to torture him?

Li Yang said, "The person who attacked you has woken up, and I want to ask him something."

Jiang Yuqing then remembered that they had also brought back a half-dead, big bad guy.

"Yes!" Jiang Yuqing immediately replied, "The materials here are just right for making the 'Heart-Clawing and Liver-Scratching Pill.' I guarantee that after he uses this pill, he'll confess to anything!"

Just hearing the name of the pill, Li Yang knew it was quite good.

Compared to causing unbearable pain, being torn apart is perhaps even more agonizing.

The excruciating pain is bearable, but the numbness and itching are unbearable.

In no time at all, Jiang Yuqing had finished refining the Heart-Clawing and Liver-Scratching Pill.

He glared fiercely at the attacker and said to Li Yang, "You're so meticulous. They definitely need to be tortured. With their high cultivation levels, they must have come prepared!"

Those who enter the Divine Miracle journey are all subject to strict screening.

These people clearly do not meet the standards and are very likely to have been impersonated to get in.

This is why Li Yang was confident that he could uncover the secrets of the person behind the Divine Miracle through his journey.

The person behind the scenes certainly wouldn't act on their own.

Whether he hired assassins or arranged for some loyal followers, he would ultimately need to use some authority to infiltrate them.

And that is the important clue.

Everything that is done will leave a trace.

By following the clues, you can always pinpoint a general area.

Without wasting any words, Li Yang directly fed the man the Heart-Clawing and Liver-Scratching Pill.

At first, the man gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know anything, just kill me!"

After the medication took effect, he felt terrible.

What does it mean to be "to be so anxious as to itch one's heart and liver"?

It itches so badly that it feels like a million ants are crawling all over my heart and liver.

But the heart and liver are both inside the chest cavity, so scratching them is like scratching an itch through a boot.

This feeling is awful.

It's even more unbearable than the pain itself!

Li Yang wasn't in a hurry. She tied him up properly, making it difficult for him to bite his tongue and commit suicide, and then went out to continue her farm work.

Jiang Yuqing said, "This medicine takes effect very quickly..." The implication was that there was no need to wait here; they could be interrogated immediately.

Li Yang said, "No rush."

Jiang Yuqing: "???"

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +500 points.]

Is Li Yang deliberately making him suffer more?

Thinking about it carefully, that makes sense.

This man was about to kill them, why shouldn't he suffer more?

Besides, such a vicious criminal might have a very tight jaw. Letting him suffer some excruciating pain first will make interrogation much easier later.

[Jiang Yuqing's Shock Points +300 points.]

This time, he was shocked by Li Yang's "cunning and shrewdness"!

Jiang Yuqing: "Then I'll go continue refining pills too!"

Meanwhile, on the other side...

Their subordinates never returned, and the assassin leader couldn't contact them either. They immediately realized something was wrong.

They still couldn't find any clues about Li Yang, so they simply returned to the place where they had ambushed Jiang Yuqing, wanting to investigate again.

Although Li Yang cleaned up the scene, he also concealed the traces of his and Jiang Yuqing's departure.

But these mercenaries who specialize in murder and robbery have their own methods of reconnaissance.

"Time Rewind." The assassin leader possesses a unique Star Skill that, once activated, allows him to see events that occurred at the current location within the last 24 hours.

He simply didn't like using this Star Skill easily because it was extremely energy-consuming, requiring him to constantly use Star Recovery Pill just to barely see clearly, and he couldn't hear the other person's voice.

The assassin leader witnessed that scene.

The Plow Ox Clan that suddenly rushed out possessed Burst-Speed Combo reminiscent of the Star Combat Department.

Wrong!

He suddenly opened his eyes, a fierce glint in them. "No wonder I couldn't find her; she actually possesses Star Skill that can alter one's appearance!"

Chapter 85

After finishing her farm work, Li Yang finally returned to the house.

The person who attacked Jiang Yuqing was already in a terrible state from the torment of the Heart-Clawing and Liver-Scratching Pill.

Because the effect of a single pill is limited, Li Yang fed him three, ensuring that the agonizing effect would continue for a while.

"Kill me, please kill me!" The man had completely lost his temper. He crawled over to Li Yang and pleaded pitifully.

In just half a day, the man had become a pitiful sight.

The effect of being tormented to the point of anxiety is truly terrifying.

He rubbed his chest raw, his body drenched in sweat, and he was so itchy he couldn't control himself, so he groaned and rolled on the ground.

Little Ox was too afraid to look, Jiang Yuqing couldn't bear to watch either.

Only Li Yang remained expressionless.

[Lifespan +10 years.]

The system's flood of posts surprised Li Yang for a moment.

In her Spirit Sea, Li Yang asked Lianxin, "Am I being cruel? Are you afraid?"

Lianxin immediately said, "I can sense that you are very sad, but some things always have to be done."

"Thank you," Li Yang said, feeling a warmth in her heart. "Mmm... Lianlian, it's so good to have you."

[Lifespan +100 years.]

Li Yang spoke from the heart, and Lianxin truly felt it.

The Little Ox was afraid of Li Yang.

Although Jiang Yuqing knew that Li Yang had done the right thing, she couldn't help but feel fear.

Only Lianxin unconditionally trusted her and worried about her.

Li Yang sometimes questions herself.

She killed many people after she came into this world.

I'm becoming increasingly numb to this.

I'm becoming less and less like myself from my previous life.

Will she become increasingly cruel and unscrupulous, ultimately...?

But Lianxin's words gave her peace of mind.

Some things just have to be done by someone.

This man in front of her was about to kill them; she couldn't be soft-hearted towards him!

Li Yang's face turned cold as she stared at him and asked, "What's your name?"

"Kuang Daqiang," he uttered his name almost in a wail.

Li Yang then asked him, "What did you do before? What is your purpose in coming to Divine Miracle?"

Kuang Daqiang clearly showed signs of struggle.

Li Yang wasn't in a hurry; she just stared at him steadily.

Kuang Daqiang cried out, "Kill me! Kill me!"

He couldn't bear the torture any longer; it was more painful than any form of torture.

People like them are specially trained and possess extremely high pain tolerance...

But this agonizing pill was too poisonous; he simply couldn't bear it for even a second longer.

Li Yang suddenly said, "Qingqing, give him the antidote."

Jiang Yuqing: "???"

[Shock Points from Jiang Yuqing +500 points]

He seemed to never be able to keep up with Li Yang's thought process, but he had gotten used to obeying.

"Okay." Jiang Yuqing took out a Toxin-Cleansing Pill and fed it to Kuang Daqiang.

Kuang Daqiang no longer cared about doubting the authenticity of the pills. He was living a life worse than death and wished it were poison that could bring him relief!

Kuang Daqiang swallowed the Toxin-Cleansing Pill like a wolf.

Instantly, a cool, refreshing stream flowed from my throat to my chest, and the unbearable tingling and itching disappeared.

This feels amazing.

Kuang Daqiang couldn't help but burst into tears.
