"Jiang Yuan, if you die one day, will you pass on the Divine Pharmacist's legacy to me?"

Jiang Yuan was refining pills when Ning Yanlan's words suddenly made his hand tremble. Because of this mistake, the quality of a batch of Rejuvenating Pills dropped by one grade.

"Forget about it. Even if I destroy the Divine Pharmacist's legacy, I won't give it to a woman like you!" Jiang Yuan coldly refused.

"That won't do. You'd better give away all the inheritance, or you might get your grave dug up one day!" Ning Yanlan reminded her intentionally or unintentionally.

"How can you be so ruthless, woman!" Jiang Yuan's understanding of Ning Yanlan reached a new level. The most poisonous heart is a woman's heart, and this woman is incredibly vicious.

"But you're still completely under my thumb!" Ning Yanlan hugged him like an octopus, showing no embarrassment or shame despite Jiang Yuan's cold words.

"What a jerk!"

Jiang Yuan wasn't sure if he was talking about himself or Ning Yanlan, but judging from his temperament, he was more likely to be criticizing himself.

"I'll add some spice to your life!" Ning Yanlan suddenly cut her finger and flung a few drops of blood into the Sikong Yun Cauldron.

"Ning Yanlan, are you crazy? You just made me ruin a batch of pills, and now you're doing it again!" Jiang Yuan was immediately furious. He could tolerate Ning Yanlan, but he couldn't tolerate her forever.

"No need to thank me. You were willing to die for me, so I'm just sacrificing a few drops of blood for you!" Ning Yanlan had no intention of admitting her mistake and instead clung to Jiang Yuan, refusing to get off.

"Ning Yanlan, I noticed that after your trip to Nanguishan, you've not only become disgusting, but your brain has also gone completely mad, hasn't it!"

Jiang Yuan was about to continue cursing when a notification from the Heavenly Eye left him dumbfounded.

Ding! The Rejuvenation Pill has been successfully refined. The pill is of medium-grade Spirit level. Proficiency has increased by 372.

"Um?"

Jiang Yuan turned off the fire to check the pill as if he had seen a ghost, and what he found completely baffled him!

A batch of mid-grade Rejuvenation Pills?

Moreover, both the multiplier pill pattern and the grace pill pattern have reached their maximum! Even the pills that usually yield a batch of dozens of pills have increased fivefold today, which is highly abnormal!

"Because of you?" Jiang Yuan looked down at Ning Yanlan in his arms. There shouldn't be any other influencing factors besides her.

"Don't be touched, I just don't want you to die too early, it will affect the development of your battle spirit!" Ning Yanlan said, her words infuriating.

Jiang Yuan was initially touched, but upon hearing this trash talk, he instantly became annoyed. He lowered his head and bit Ning Yanlan's lips, using the guise of a kiss to bite her lips and tongue again. However, after swallowing Ning Yanlan's blood, which had a metallic taste, he could no longer see anything amiss.

"Pooh!"

Ning Yanlan spat out a mouthful of blood, then forcefully pushed Jiang Yuan away, saying indignantly, "If this continues, we'll maintain a respectful but distant relationship!"

"Heh, you've got a lot of secrets to hide!" Jiang Yuan licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, savoring Ning Yanlan's blood as he said, "Fine, I can spare you, but I need your blood from earlier!"

Ning Yanlan hesitated for a moment before asking, "How much do you want?"

"Ten drops!"

Jiang Yuan held up one finger and continued, "And it's ten drops every day!"

Ning Yanlan did not answer immediately, but after seeing Jiang Yuan's burning gaze, she nodded in agreement.

"Actually, if you didn't keep telling me to die, you'd be quite cute!" Jiang Yuan reached out and deliberately messed up Ning Yanlan's hair.

"Really? Then when you die, give me all the inheritances of the Divine Pharmacist, the Weapon Forger, and the Seven Kill Sect!" Ning Yanlan said the most vicious words in the most coquettish tone.

"Give it to me? Then get the hell out of my way!"

"You complimented me on being cute but didn't give me any gifts. You don't love me as much as I thought!"

"Fine, then I'll die! I want to see if this Demon Lord is really that strong and capable of taking my life!"

...

With the Rejuvenation Pill, Jiang Yuan began to hunt down those spirit beasts like crazy. The entire world vein that had emerged from the earth was stained with blood, transforming him into a veritable blood dragon.

Meanwhile, the southern city, located at the head of the city, was shrouded in a dark cloud, with a persistent black light shining like a death omen.

"Boss, some forces outside the South City have already gathered their troops and are preparing to break through and escape!" Little Fatty hurriedly ran to Jiang Yuan to report. Seeing that Ning Yanlan and Jiang Yuan's relationship had obviously improved, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "I knew my sister-in-law had some troubles. Look how good it is that the misunderstanding has been cleared up!"

Jiang Yuan ignored the last sentence and asked, "How many people are preparing to break through and leave?"

"So far there are only five thousand people, which are an alliance of small forces in the South City! Because of the appearance of the Demon Spirit, many small forces are simply unable to stop it. Rather than being slowly tortured in the South City, it is better to rush and escape from this vortex of the South City!" Little Fatty said with a bitter face.

Leng Yue added, "There are quite a few people who have this idea right now, but they are still observing. If someone takes the lead, I'm afraid all the strong people in Nancheng will have disappeared by the end of the day!"

"Yes, with so many ordinary people in the south of the city, how can we possibly defend against them all by ourselves!" Little Fatty said worriedly.

"There's no escape. The outer barrier is sealed off; you can only enter, not leave!" Jiang Yuan sighed softly. Nancheng was already a dead city, destined to become the altar at the source of the battlefield, and none of the people on the altar could escape.

"This is bad! Some forces have already started slaughtering ordinary people! They want to collect a last bit of demon god blood before they leave, so they can increase their strength and reach the point where they can break through the beast tide!"

Liang Yuquan suddenly burst in, his face full of anxiety. He unfolded a piece of paper and said, “Look, right now, the main civilian gathering places in the South City are these three areas. The first is the urban cluster centered on Tianhe Square, which is crowded with at least three million people. It mainly serves a defensive role and is occupied by our Oath Clan, the Ji Chen Liu Clan, and the other two clans. The second is Jiangjiu District in the northeast, which is close to the warlords and the North City Alliance, so it has the largest number of civilians gathered there. One county-level district can accommodate at least five million people. And then there’s this last one!”
